The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Cui Baiyi is totally falling apart at this moment, damn, is this even possible...

I've been working my ass off day after day to improve my strength, all for the day when I could surpass Tao Muyun and become the Pavilion Master of Soul Capturing Pavilion.

And now you're telling me ten billion Spirit Stones can buy it...

Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier, not just ten billion, I can afford ten trillion!

"Master Tang, is there anything else you need? Just ask, as long as it's within my power and you provide the Spirit Stones, anything can be done," said Tao Muyun.

"There's nothing else really; Brother Tao is such a straightforward person, and I, Tang Rao, admire that. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just let me know. As long as I can handle it, I'll definitely take care of it for you," Tang Rao said with a smile.

Tao Muyun is truly an interesting fellow.

"Then I'm very grateful to Master Tang. Others say Master Tang is unreliable and difficult, but that's simply nonsense. Master Tang not only understands the greater good but is also eager to save people from danger. He's like a role model for the new century, a pioneer across the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains. Rest assured, Master Tang, wherever I go in the future, I will sing praises of your goodness," Tao Muyun said earnestly.

Tang Rao couldn't help but feel touched. Coming across someone like Tao Muyun in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains is truly a blessing earned in three lifetimes.

Look at Tao Muyun, then look at those other powerful experts; they simply can't compare.

This man Tao Muyun is like a diamond in the rough, a lotus in the mud, a clear stream in the turbidity.

He's just too genuine.

Cui Baiyi wasn't killed by Li Shengxuan, but right now, he really wants to die.

Oh my god, why the hell am I alive!

I've lived for so many years only to find out that my existence is a complete joke.

Just look at what Tang Rao and Tao Muyun are doing, their conversations, their actions, they all smack me right in the face. Over and over again, without mercy.

...

"Cui Baiyi." After talking to Tao Muyun, Tang Rao looked at Cui Baiyi.

"...Yes..." Cui Baiyi thought for a moment and then responded, "Pavilion Master... please speak."

Tao Muyun has given the Pavilion Master Token to Tang Rao; there's no doubt that Tang Rao is now the Pavilion Master of Soul Capturing Pavilion.

This is an undeniable fact.

If he were to oppose, he probably wouldn't live another second.

"So, who do you think is the main culprit in this conflict with Giant Merchant Star?" asked Tang Rao.

Cui Baiyi broke out in a cold sweat.

"Think carefully before you answer," Tang Rao glanced at Cui Baiyi.

"It's... it's my subordinate," Cui Baiyi finally gave an answer that seemed to satisfy Tang Rao.

"Oh, you do have some self-awareness," Tang Rao nodded.

Cui Baiyi: "..."

"Since you admit that you are the main culprit of this incident, I'll give you a chance. Natasha wants a compensation of ten trillion Spirit Stones, right? That price is indeed a bit excessive. So, you give me one trillion, and I'll negotiate with Natasha. Hmm, we'll make adjustments accordingly," said Tang Rao.

What?

Cui Baiyi is utterly dumbfounded, one trillion, that's a joke.

We are Soul Capturing Pavilion not Giant Merchant Star; those merchants from Giant Merchant Star are filthy rich. We from Soul Capturing Pavilion have always been miserable, you know! One trillion, I simply can't afford it.

"Ah, never mind, I can see you're quite pitiful. As the new Pavilion Master of Soul Capturing Pavilion, I'll take care of my subordinates. You provide ten trillion, and I'll cover the remaining ninety trillion," said Tang Rao.

Cui Baiyi: (*▔□▔)

Judge Cui, if you don't give it up now, it would be quite unreasonable. There's a saying, whoever owns the pot should carry it. You're not planning on pretending like you did nothing, are you?" Tang Rao stared at Cui Baiyi as he spoke.

"Pay up!" Li Shengxuan also shouted.

In the end, Cui Baiyi did pay up, emptying all of his Spirit Stones, and even gave Tang Rao quite a few Spiritual Medicines and Treasures as collateral for Spirit Stones.

Cui Baiyi didn't actually have one hundred trillion Spirit Stones.

What Tang Rao ended up with was sixty trillion Spirit Stones, along with some other random Spiritual Medicines and such.

"Here, Brother Tao, take this one trillion." Tang Rao directly gave one trillion to Tao Muyun.

"Thank you for your hard work for the Soul Capture Pavilion over these years; consider this a token of appreciation for your troubles, and don't think it's too little," Tang Rao said.

Tao Muyun was moved to tears; Tang Rao really was a good person.

Of course, Tao Muyun happily accepted the one trillion. Oh my, it feels like a lot of younger sisters are going to approach me to discuss the origin of life.

Cui Baiyi really wanted to tell Tang Rao, I've also made indelible contributions to the Soul Capture Pavilion, give me a share too.

However, in the end, Cui Baiyi held back, feeling like he would get beaten up if he said it.

"Alright, now, let's talk about something else," Tang Rao looked at Cui Baiyi again.

Cui Baiyi felt a chill, God knows what kind of crazy things Tang Rao might do.

"Although it was Qi Yun the Daoist who arranged the incident that harmed me, in the end, you executed it," Tang Rao said.

"This... this... I just ordered Bai Ze to do it, the one who actually did it was Bai Ze!" Cui Baiyi shouted.

"I know, so I gave Bai Ze a good thrashing, and now he's become my little brother, a soul-contracted little brother at that," Tang Rao said with a wide grin.

Although Tang Rao didn't have a mouth full of yellow teeth, Cui Baiyi still found Tang Rao's smile terrifying.

Bai Ze turned out to be Tang Rao's man...

Turns out, Tang Rao had already infiltrated inside the Soul Capture Pavilion.

"What do you want then?" Cui Baiyi asked cautiously.

"How about suicide," Tang Rao said.

Cui Baiyi: "..."

You scammed all my money, and now you want me dead, Tang Rao, you're too much. If it weren't for... that thing... I'd fight you to the end.

"Pavilion Master, considering how busy you usually are, it's inevitable that some matters of the Soul Capture Pavilion might be overlooked. I'm at Great Perfection now, and me taking care of the trivial matters of the Soul Capture Pavilion couldn't be better. If I died, without a Great Perfection Cultivator in charge, the authority of the Soul Capture Pavilion would surely decline a lot," Cui Baiyi said.

"Not really, Dong Xia is also at Great Perfection, and she's even stronger than you and Brother Tao," Tang Rao said.

What?

Dong Xia?

Great Perfection?

Cui Baiyi was dumbfounded, especially with Tang Rao's remark that Dong Xia was stronger than Tao Muyun, which instantly left Cui Baiyi somewhat stupefied.

How is this possible? How could Dong Xia be this powerful?

"Pavilion Master, Dong Xia is at Half-step Great Perfection, you must have remembered wrong," Cui Baiyi said.

"No, no, that girl Dong Xia is indeed stronger than me," Tao Muyun immediately said from the side, "To be precise, not only is Dong Xia stronger than me, but I reckon the Ten-winged Demon Dragon wouldn't last long in front of her either."

Cui Baiyi felt like he was about to be argued to death today.

What in the world has happened!
