The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Because he cares, that's why he can't let go.

Yan Wei and he did not swear an oath of the Heavenly Dao, nor did they have a soul contract, but Tang Rao's most trusted one was always Yan Wei.

"Alright, stop being like a complaining widow, it's just going to the Land of Immortals. Just separation. Keep me in your heart, and I'll always be there." Tang Rao waved his hand and said with a smile, rarely indulging in artistic sentimentality.

But no one laughed.

Tang Rao felt a bit awkward.

"By the way, I've created a clone. The clone is me, so it's not really leaving." Tang Rao added.

Although Zhou Shengdian still had his own consciousness, as long as Tang Rao wished, he could completely control Zhou Shengdian with his own thoughts, so Zhou Shengdian was him, Tang Rao.

"It's different." Yan Wei said three words, his head still not turned.

"When the time comes, I'll let the clone undergo plastic surgery to look exactly like me; then there would be no difference at all." Tang Rao said.

"It's different." Yan Wei still repeated these three words.

Another long silence ensued.

"Well... you guys go ahead, I'm going to take a walk." Tang Rao was not accustomed to such silence; it made people feel oppressed, even fearful.

It was like the feeling of losing something precious.

"Tang Rao, wait for me." Just as he left the research base, Fang Jinxiu caught up with him.

Fang Jinxiu was still so beautiful, stunningly attractive. Of course, that was just the way she looked, and her personality was a far cry from her goddess-like appearance.

"What's up?" Tang Rao turned around.

"You're really just going to leave like this?" Fang Jinxiu asked.

"I will take care of some past matters for the time being, such as Soul Capture Pavilion, such as the Ten-winged Demon Dragon." Tang Rao shrugged, "It will take some time."

"Can't you just not go to the Land of Immortals? Or, you could let your clone go, right? Didn't you say you have a clone?" Fang Jinxiu said.

Tang Rao shook his head.

"The clone has limited strength, and there are some things I must do personally." Tang Rao said, of course he couldn't possibly let Zhou Shengdian return to the Land of Immortals.

Although Tang Rao could completely control him, Zhou Shengdian had already lost his Immortal Crystal and was no longer the nine-layer Immortal Monarch of the past.

With his current strength and talents, for him to achieve immortality would likely not be accomplished quickly.

"That said, isn't there a saying: when one man attains the Dao, his poultry and dogs ascend to heaven too? You've become an immortal; can't you take us with you? You see, going to the Land of Immortals alone is lonely and cold, bringing family and friends along, once there, it'd be good to have someone to watch over you, right?" Fang Jinxiu continued.

"I really don't know about that; after all, I have no experience." Tang Rao shrugged, he really wasn't sure about this.

Whether you can bring others with you when entering the Land of Immortals, who knows...

After all, it had been a very long time since anyone in the Seventy-two Domains achieved immortality. It's not that there aren't people with the strength, they simply don't want to go.

Look at Xiao Xiangruo, look at Tao Muyun, they could all achieve immortality, but they were unwilling to go.

What's the point of going there? To be a low-level nobody in the Land of Immortals? What for! Better to stay in the Seventy-two Domains, here in the Great Perfection Realm being incredibly amazing.

As the saying goes: better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

"Then, will you try and see if you can bring others when the time comes?" Fang Jinxiu said.

"Uh, I'll try my best." Tang Rao nodded.

"That's good to hear." Fang Jinxiu had a smile on her face, but who knows what she was scheming in her heart.

"Jinxiu, do you really want to go to the Land of Immortals?" Tang Rao asked. He always felt that Fang Jinxiu was too eager about it. Based on what he knew of her, Fang Jinxiu was not usually like this.

"I'm thinking of the welfare of those who are willing to follow you," Fang Jinxiu said.

"If that's the only reason, then there's no need," Tang Rao shook his head.

"Why?" Fang Jinxiu was surprised.

"Even if Yan Wei is willing to follow me to the Land of Immortals, I probably won't agree," Tang Rao shrugged. "Once you go to the Land of Immortals, it's feared you can't come back. If Yan Wei goes, what about Li Li? Even if Li Li goes with him, could she leave her parents behind? And what about her grandparents, or even friends and relatives? Many things are not about willingness, but about possibility."

"I can!" Fang Jinxiu said. "I have no friends, and as for family... well, let's not talk about my dad. Even if he successfully detoxifies, I don't really want to deal with him. So, I'm free of any entanglements, and I will follow you. Wherever you go, I go. Just treat me as a little cotton-padded coat that's close to your heart."

Tang Rao had a strange expression and quickly stepped back two steps, looking at Fang Jinxiu in shock.

"Holy shit, what kind of demon are you, get out of our Jinxiu's body now! Show yourself immediately!" Tang Rao yelled at Fang Jinxiu.

Fang Jinxiu: "..."

...

Tang Rao didn't stay on the Moon for long and bid farewell to Fang Jinxiu before heading to Giant Merchant Star, returning to Natasha's courtyard.

In the courtyard, Natasha and Li Shengxuan were sitting opposite each other, with a table full of beer bottles, and of course, many barbecue skewers.

When leaving, Tang Rao had put the barbecued food into his Space Ring and handed it to Li Shengxuan.

In the Space Ring, the food wouldn't spoil or cool down.

Clearly, Li Shengxuan had accepted his proposal and decided to pursue her own heart.

"Xiao Hei benefactor, you're back, come and have a drink!" Li Shengxuan called out to Tang Rao.

"Xiao Hei, where have you been these days? You owe three bottles as a penalty!" Natasha too shouted after drinking, her inhibitions completely released, and any awkwardness and grudges between her and Tang Rao had dissipated.

"Alright." Tang Rao replied and quickly approached.

The three of them ate and drank until midnight.

Li Shengxuan had already collapsed from drinking, lying on a recliner, apparently asleep.

As for Tang Rao, of course, he remained sober. Beer, to him, had little effect; even after drinking around twenty bottles, he didn't feel much dizziness.

"Tang Rao..." Natasha suddenly called out from the side.

"Hmm." Tang Rao turned his head, looking at Natasha.

"You're going to leave me, aren't you? You're definitely going to leave... You... you're like those falling stars, those who are meant to leave... will inevitably leave..." Natasha closed her eyes, obviously drunk, speaking to herself as if muttering drunken words.

Tang Rao silently sighed. Yes, those who are meant to leave will inevitably leave.

Whether it's Blue Star, the Nine Realms, or the Seventy-two Domains, he was always just a passerby.

Leaving emotions, but taking away memories.

"I'm sorry." Tang Rao looked at Natasha and muttered softly.

Of course, he owed an apology to many others too: Bai Yushu, Lei Li, Ye Xiaobai, Jiang Hanshuang, Blood Princess, Bo Ya, Li Yuze, Liu Sanxing, Yan Wei... and many more.

Perhaps there would be no more intersections in the future.

Life is fleeting, visitors come and go, remembering is luck, and forgetting is human nature.
