The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao looked at Cui Baiyi, Tao Muyun looked at Cui Baiyi, Li Shengxuan also looked at Cui Baiyi.

Three people, six eyes, all staring at Cui Baiyi.

Cui Baiyi felt a bit panicked by their stares, "What are you guys doing? If you have something to say, just say it; don't just stare at me like that."

"Master Tang... just like Bai Ze, I too am willing to submit to you and sign a soul contract, may I?" Cui Baiyi asked in a low voice.

He could feel, although Tang Rao spoke calmly, there indeed was an intent to kill.

If he did not fight for himself now, he probably would really have no hope left.

"So it is... But, I don't need any more followers. Though Great Perfection is powerful, it's just powerful, and right now I can completely subdue a Great Perfection cultivator," Tang Rao shrugged as he spoke.

Cui Baiyi felt somewhat sorrowful. By saying this, does that mean I don't even have the last chance?

"Of course, I am not an unreasonable person. After all, it's not easy for you to cultivate to Great Perfection, so I'll give you this one chance. If you can do it, I'll be magnanimous and let you sign a soul contract with me; but if you can't, then sorry," Tang Rao said.

Cui Baiyi nodded sadly.

Perhaps, he is the first Great Perfection cultivator who has to beg and kneel and also meet someone else's demands to get a chance to submit.

But there's no other option, it's all about surviving.

At the point Cui Baiyi has reached, just like Tang Rao said, it's not easy.

Because it's not easy, he doesn't want to die.

Death would be tragic, years of cultivation shattered.

Just thinking about it feels so miserable.

As for signing a soul contract with someone else, though it's a bit sad, though it's a bit demeaning, at least he could stay alive, right?

Staying alive is the ultimate truth.

"Alright, since you're willing, listen carefully," Tang Rao nodded, "I'll give you half a month to dissolve all cultivators below the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in the Soul Capture Pavilion."

What?

Cui Baiyi was stunned in an instant, dissolve all cultivators below the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, what a joke, wouldn't that destroy the Soul Capture Pavilion?!

Cui Baiyi looked towards Tao Muyun.

"What are you looking at me for? I'm no longer the Soul Capturing Pavilion Master, Master Tang is. Whatever Master Tang says, goes. It has nothing to do with me, don't look at me," Tao Muyun immediately said.

He didn't care about the rise and fall of the Soul Capture Pavilion; it had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Tao Muyun was pondering how to spend that one trillion Spirit Stones, oh my god, one trillion! Just thinking about it felt exciting.

"But... but Master Tang, in that case, our Soul Capture Pavilion would be ruined," Cui Baiyi still said.

"So, you can't do it? Well, since you can't, then go die, I don't mind."

"I can! I can do it!" Cui Baiyi immediately shouted.

Tang Rao lowered his raised hand slowly, "If you can do it, then ask no damn questions. Remember, the most important trait of a follower is to obey. Whatever your boss tells you to do, you do it. Don't ask why, how, or what will happen if you do it. If every follower is like 'a hundred thousand whys,' do I still need to be the boss?"

"Yes, yes, I got it," Cui Baiyi nodded repeatedly like he was pounding garlic.

"Do you know why I'm doing this?" Tang Rao asked.

"Please enlighten me, Master," Cui Baiyi said, honestly, he really didn't know why Tang Rao would do such a thing. Maybe, he just wanted to ruin the Soul Capture Pavilion.

"Do you think I'm deliberately trying to destroy the Soul Capture Pavilion?" Tang Rao asked.

"The subordinate wouldn't dare."

"Bullshit you wouldn't dare, that's exactly what you're thinking. I'm telling you, this is why I can be the boss and you can only be a follower! I'm doing this for a far-reaching reason, you have no sense of the bigger picture at all," Tang Rao looked at Cui Baiyi and scoffed.

Cui Baiyi blinked.

"I'm telling you, having more people is useless. Do I have a lot of people under me? Not many. Adding everything up, that's all there is. You don't even know how many are in the Soul Capture Pavilion, but what happens in the end? Facts have proven everything. We follow the elite route, not the mass. If a grandmaster of immortal cultivation comes now, even if the Soul Capture Pavilion had a hundred million cultivators, let alone another billion or eight hundred million, they'd still be useless. They could be annihilated," Tang Rao said.

Cui Baiyi listened to Tang Rao's words and felt that they made some sense. It's just that, there were still some odd bits, what was odd, he couldn't exactly point out.

"Master Tang really is wise, that makes so much sense. Soul Capture Pavilion, it's just too cluttered, not pure. Yeah, I think only keeping the cultivators at Transcendence Tribulation Stage is indeed the right decision," Tao Muyun said with a thumb up.

"Not bad, not bad. I am just a bit more forward-thinking," Tang Rao said with a laugh.

"Where, where, Master Tang is truly amazing."

"You flatter me too much, Brother Tao."

"Master Tang is being modest, a hero indeed rises young."

"..."

Honestly, Cui Baiyi and Li Shengxuan were almost sick of listening. Can you two just stop? It's just unbearable.

"Alright, I've explained what needs to be explained. Next, it's your turn. Let's start the soul contract then. If it's not done in half a month, don't bother seeing me again, I'll directly kill you," Tang Rao said to Cui Baiyi.

"Yes, understood, Pavilion Master."

Then Cui Baiyi and Tang Rao established a soul contract.

"Brother Tao, regarding me becoming the Pavilion Master, you still need to announce it," Tang Rao turned to Tao Muyun.

"Of course."

"Alright, then I'll be leaving first. I have to go visit Dong Xia, after all, she's an old friend," Tang Rao smiled, then walked out of Tao Muyun's yard.

...

"Xiao Xuan, what do you think about this person Dong Xia?" After leaving the yard, Tang Rao asked Li Shengxuan.

"Not that great."

"What do you mean by not that great?"

"She looks okay, but feels like Xiao Xiangruo, a real schemer," Li Shengxuan thought for a moment and said.

Tang Rao: "..."

Dong Xia indeed was a major schemer, and Li Shengxuan hit the nail on the head.

"Alright, then do you think I should meet her?"

"Better not, as the saying goes, one schemer is equivalent to ten bombs, too destructive, Savior Xiao Hei, you shouldn't risk it," Li Shengxuan said.

Having followed Tang Rao for a while, Li Shengxuan had gotten quite slick at this kind of talk, making it pretty impactful.

Tang Rao was silent for a long while, and finally decided to listen to Li Shengxuan and not meet Dong Xia.

Sometimes, though, things happen unexpectedly.

Tang Rao wasn't planning on meeting Dong Xia, but Dong Xia came to him.

And clearly, she was coming straight for Tang Rao.

"I have something to tell you," Dong Xia walked up to Tang Rao and said straightforwardly, her face devoid of any excessive expressions.

"Then go ahead," Tang Rao nodded.

"Just us," Dong Xia glanced at Li Shengxuan.

"No need," Tang Rao looked at Li Shengxuan, then turned back, "There's nothing that needs to be hidden from Sheng Xuan, I trust her as I trust myself."

"I didn't expect you to say something like that."

"Of course, I just didn't meet someone worth trusting before," Tang Rao said with a smile.

As Dong Xia listened to Tang Rao's words and watched his smile, her heart ached painfully.
