The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Tang Rao, do you like Jinxiu?" Li Shengxuan turned to Tang Rao and continued to ask.

Tang Rao: ("▔□▔)

What the— How am I supposed to answer that?

Could it be that Li Shengxuan, like other women, starts acting crazy in love too? My god, does this mean we're heading into open relationship territory?

As for how to respond, Tang Rao had some ideas, of course.

If he said he liked her, Li Shengxuan would definitely be unhappy; if he said he didn't like her, she might respond with, "Tsk tsk tsk, if you like her, just admit it. I know exactly how you men think," and then make a scene with him.

So, the best response was not to respond at all.

Yep, that had to be it.

"Hehe, I knew you liked Jinxiu, I like her too, Jinxiu is so beautiful," Li Shengxuan saw Tang Rao's silence and immediately burst into laughter.

Tang Rao: "..."

Damn, I really don't understand women. Can it really be like this?

Fang Jinxiu was also somewhat dazed looking at Li Shengxuan. From Li Shengxuan and Tang Rao's intertwined fingers, it was clear that the two were in a romantic relationship. But since Li Shengxuan was Tang Rao's girlfriend, why would she have such a reaction?

The key thing was, Fang Jinxiu's female intuition told her that Li Shengxuan didn't have a shred of malice.

When she said she liked her, it seemed like she really just liked her.

Such sincerity can't be faked.

"Don't worry, I won't stand in your way," Li Shengxuan said with a smile.

Tang Rao's face was flabbergasted, why does this sound so terrifying to me, my heavens.

"Shengxuan, don't be ridiculous..."

"No, I really think Jinxiu should be with you, Tang Rao. You guys are a perfect match. Just make sure to count me in when you get married," Li Shengxuan said.

What does Li Shengxuan mean? She doesn't mind me gathering other women? Is she suggesting that I can have other women while also having her?

What the hell, is this how it's done in the Land of Immortals?

Even if you agree, even if you don't care, Fang Jinxiu would definitely not accept it.

Come on, who is Fang Jinxiu? She's the super tomboy who wouldn't stand for that nonsense. Do you believe that she would be okay with sharing a man? She would be more likely to chop the guy up and feed him to dogs.

"Alright, Shengxuan, then it's settled. If I end up with Tang Rao in the future, you'll be included," Fang Jinxiu nodded and said with a smile.

What (what)?

Tang Rao was instantly floored. Was that really Fang Jinxiu speaking? What on earth! There's no way Fang Jinxiu could say something like that.

If Li Shengxuan wasn't there, Tang Rao would be ready to shake Fang Jinxiu down. She must be possessed or something. My god, this is not scientific.

"Come on, Shengxuan, let me show you around here," Fang Jinxiu linked arms with Li Shengxuan.

Just as Li Shengxuan took an instant liking to Fang Jinxiu, so did Fang Jinxiu feel a great fondness for Li Shengxuan.

Tang Rao: "..."

"I really don't know if I'm outdated, or if the world is evolving too fast, damn it, I don't understand at all," Tang Rao shook his head, feeling helpless.

Anyway, he felt he would never understand women in this lifetime. They are too weird, too unpredictable.

"Congratulations, maybe in the future you could marry two or three." Behind Tang Rao, Yan Wei's voice could be heard.

"Enough, stop blabbering. In life, people come and go all the time. Separation is something we experience every moment, can you act not like some emotional women, huh..." Tang Rao raised his middle finger at Yan Wei.

"I will go with you to the Land of Immortals," Yan Wei suddenly said.

Tang Rao frowned.

"No way," Tang Rao shook his head decisively, "If you go with me to the Land of Immortals, what about Li Li? I will be leaving in about ten days, and Li Li is about to give birth."

"Just take these." Yan Wei fished out a metal box from his pocket and handed it to Tang Rao.

"What the hell is this?"

"Memory copy," Yan Wei took a deep breath, "Although the technology isn't perfect yet, I've done my best. This is a chip containing a copy of all my memories. By the time you implant it into a host, I should be able to exist in the Land of Immortals as if I've created an alternate self. It's just..."

"It's just... He is you, yet he isn't you," said Tang Rao.

"Right," Yan Wei nodded, "He has all my memories up to this point, but from now on, my memories are mine, and his are his, and I can't share memories with him."

Tang Rao's brow furrowed. Even though the chip contained all of Yan Wei's memories, memories are just memories, and personality is personality. Memories can never replace a person's true character.

Even if he found a host for this chip, would that really be Yan Wei? Would it be entirely loyal to him like Yan Wei? Tang Rao thought it unlikely.

Too risky.

This was entirely different from finding Zhou Shengdian to create an alternate self, where Tang Rao could exercise total control. Even in the Land of Immortals, he maintained absolute control over Zhou Shengdian because his Divine Sense had taken over Zhou Shengdian's body.

But it wouldn't work for Yan Wei.

Wait a second...

Divine Sense taking over...

"I think I've got a solution," Tang Rao grinned suddenly and reached out, touching Yan Wei's head with one finger.

Yan Wei felt as if something was being extracted from his brain, yet he had no idea what it was.

A very strange sensation.

"Done," two minutes later, Tang Rao withdrew his finger, and on the tip of it flickered a tiny white dot with a faint glow.

"What is this?"

"A part of your Divine Sense, temporarily sealed by me. When the memory chip finds a host, I will use this portion of your Divine Sense to take over that host, and then you'll be able to communicate with the host intuitively. Whatever he sees or experiences, you'll know too, and you might even be able to control his actions. Almost no different from the Zhou Shengdian clone. Of course, the only difference is that your clone is almost entirely a product of technology. By the way, can you copy other people's memories?" Tang Rao asked.

That would be awesome if possible.

"No," Yan Wei shook his head, "It took me a full half-year to copy down my memories, and besides, it takes an incredibly long time to create a chip like this, it's simply not possible in the short term."

"Alright then, at least I'll have your company, that will give me much more peace of mind about the journey to the Land of Immortals," Tang Rao said with a smile. Honestly, he of course also wanted Yan Wei with him.

With Yan Wei around, he'd have a lot less to worry about.

This guy was naturally made for espionage.

"Haha, deal. Give me a Space Ring with huge capacity, I need to pack all sorts of stuff in there. Land of Immortals, hahaha, I'm going to bring Illusion City to the Land of Immortals!" Yan Wei's eyes shone brightly.

Tang Rao was stunned for a moment, then also became excited.

Holy crap, bringing Illusion City to the Land of Immortals would definitely cause a sensation.

"Conquer the Land of Immortals!" Tang Rao shouted.

"Conquer!!" Yan Wei threw a punch, his long-missing passion flaring up again.
