Chapter 89: Ali, I feel completely weak
Hearing Tang Rao's voice, Lei Li shot up from the couch and quickly ran to the bedside.
"I smell so bad," Tang Rao said to Lei Li.
Lei Li nodded earnestly; he did stink quite a bit.
When Tang Rao was opening her Qi Mansion, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and he seemed to have lost some weight.
"I don't have any strength right now, could you... help me take a bath?" Tang Rao asked.
Lei Li was somewhat stunned, help Tang Rao bathe?
This... this isn't quite right.
"I can help you to the bathroom, but... you should bathe yourself," Lei Li said.
Although she wanted to show more kindness to Tang Rao, her personality just wasn't the sort to bathe a man. She really couldn't do such a thing.
"Just help me rinse off, just take off my coat and trousers," Tang Rao kept up his pretense of weakness.
Hearing Tang Rao's words, Lei Li's eyes relaxed a bit.
If it was just wearing pants, that she could reluctantly accept.
"I'll only rinse you off," Lei Li said.
"Okay," Tang Rao nodded, then stretched out his hand, signaling for Lei Li to help him up.
In no time, with Lei Li's support, Tang Rao entered the bathroom.
"Help me take off my clothes; my arms are too weak," Tang Rao said as he leaned against the sink, breathing rapidly.
Act well and in full; Tang Rao was confident in his acting skills.
Over the years, he had conned more than a few people. To con people, one must first learn to act well.
Lei Li clenched her teeth, and almost the entire time with her head down, she took off Tang Rao's coat and trousers.
Then, she supported Tang Rao into the shower.
"The temperature is just right. Yell for me when you're finished, I'll get a towel to wipe you off," Lei Li tested the water temperature and then spoke to Tang Rao, planning to leave afterward.
"I can't even lift my arms, can you apply some shower gel for me?" Tang Rao shouted.
Lei Li: "..."
"We agreed you would rinse off yourself, I'm leaving," Lei Li pouted, to apply shower gel to Tang Rao would mean to touch all over, she couldn't handle that.
"My body is so nice, letting you take advantage here. And all this is for your sake, Lei Li, that's not very righteous of you!" Tang Rao's expression darkened, looking very unhappy.
Lei Li's footsteps halted, torn.
To do it or not, to do it or not, it's so annoying.
"Hey, can you at least give me an answer?" Tang Rao asked again as Lei Li stood motionless for a while.
"Fine, I'll apply the shower gel, and then you have to manage on your own..." Lei Li said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, alright," A hint of a smile flashed at the corner of Tang Rao's eyes.
Little girl, you've been sassy with me before, this time you're going to pay off the interest all at once.
"Bang bang bang!" Just as Lei Li was about to grab the shower gel, there was a knocking sound from outside.
A fiery rage surged in Tang Rao's chest; who was this blind person?
Didn't they know Tang Lord was here wooing the lady?
"I'll go open the door!" Lei Li said, and whooshed out of the bathroom.
Tang Rao rolled his eyes to the sky.
But the next moment, Tang Rao's expression suddenly changed.
No, there's killing intent!
Not even having time to dress, he snatched a towel from near him, wrapped it around his lower half, and charged out of the bathroom.
"Don't open the door..." Tang Rao shouted.
But it was a bit too late; Lei Li had already opened the door a crack.
Bang!
A loud noise echoed as the door was blasted open.
The incident happened suddenly, Lei Li had no time to react. Her body was hit by the swiftly slammed door, sending her flying backward.
Behind her was the sharp corner of the wardrobe, a collision with that was no small matter.
Tang Rao sidestepped, catching Lei Li in his arms.
However, due to the unstable center of gravity, he himself crashed hard into the sharp corner of the wardrobe.
The pain in his lower back was somewhat numbing.
As for Lei Li, she stared dumbfounded at Tang Rao.
"You!!"
"We'll talk later!" Tang Rao tossed Lei Li out of his arms and threw her directly onto the massive bed.
At this moment, a colossal figure had already charged in from the outside, kicked the door shut with his heel.
Tang Rao frowned slightly at the burly, black figure in front of him.
Two meters tall with an extremely large build, akin to a massive bear.
His aura was also very strong, baring yellow teeth with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
"Heh heh, you must be Tang Rao?" the burly man addressed Tang Rao. "You can call me Cannon. I'm here to beat you up this time. Don't worry, I won't take your life. Of course, if you don't cooperate, I may hit too hard by mistake, and you might end up dead."
Hearing Cannon's words, Tang Rao's eyes narrowed slightly.
You sure are full of yourself.
But in a rather inexplicable and thoughtless way.
What kind of people does Tang Rao despise the most? It's these arrogant fools who challenge others without properly understanding their opponent's strength; such behavior is truly idiotic.
"Ey, this chick isn't bad. After I beat you, I'll have to enjoy myself a bit. Tsk tsk tsk, the more I look, the hotter I get!" Cannon leered at Lei Li, face full of licentious desire.
Lei Li gritted her teeth, seething with anger.
But she didn't come at him; she knew she was no match for Cannon.
"You want to beat me up, at least give me a reason?" Tang Rao raised his Spiritual Energy slightly. Although he had not fully recovered, it should be enough to handle Cannon.
This guy, his strength is on par with that of Bai Jinseng.
"A reason?" Cannon was slightly taken aback, then snickered. "I, Cannon, never need a reason to beat someone up!"
"Fine, then I'll ask again later?" Tang Rao nodded.
"Later? Sure, I'd like to see if you can still ask by then." Cannon grinned, then took a step forward, his huge fist infused with Spiritual Energy, smashing towards Tang Rao's face.
"The strength isn't bad," Tang Rao murmured, and then punched out to meet Cannon's fist head-on.
"Hahaha, throwing punches at me, you've got guts!" Cannon was thrilled.
Truth be told, it's been a long time since someone dared confront him face to face.
He was looking forward to utterly obliterating Tang Rao's arm.
After all, big brother had said, just don't kill him.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, their fists collided.
A ripple emanated, followed by an explosion of Spiritual Energy. The wooden furniture around them was demolished.
Tang Rao didn't move back an inch, smiling at Cannon.
At this moment, Cannon's face turned livid, fierce.
After stumbling back two steps and lifting his fist, a bloody hole was visible on it, from which blood gushed out.
Looking at Tang Rao's hand, at some point he had taken a hairpin from Lei Li, still stained with fresh blood on it.
Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its might, in Tang Rao's combat philosophy, there was never an excuse to go easy just because the opponent was weaker than himself.
His consistent approach was to strike from the shadows, to seek quick resolution without delaying a second.
So what if Cannon is weaker? Was he supposed to act cool and spare Cannon a hand or give him three moves?
What a lunatic!
If the enemy is weaker, it's all the more reason to settle it quickly.
