The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Mantis, I think it's good to have confidence as a person, but this is over the top. My Dark Moon Association is considered a medium-sized power anyway, and all our elders are Luo Immortal level. About My Mountain Sect, as far as I know, there aren't even any Luo Immortal Cultivators, right?" Shi Pang said.

"Temporarily, that's all." Tang Rao shrugged.

Shi Pang: "..."

"How about this, just making a bet is boring, we need some stakes. If My Mountain Sect wins, you have to bow down and say to me: 'Brother Tang Rao, I was wrong, you're the coolest and the most dominating, you rock both in heaven and earth; if My Mountain Sect loses, then I'll give you 20 million Illusion City chips, which can be sold for two billion Immortal Stones," Tang Rao said.

Shi Pang thought for a moment, then rolled his eyes.

Damn it, regardless of winning or losing, you're getting the better end of the deal!

If I win I have to call you brother Tang Rao, saying you're the best; if I lose, I still have to sell Illusion City chips, even though I'd make two billion, ultimately, the greatest beneficiary is still you.

"Mantis, don't you feel a bit nervous?" Shi Pang asked.

"Why would I be nervous, what's up? Do you think the bet is too small? Okay, then let's make it big, keep the previous bet, and we add one more: if My Mountain Sect wins, Dark Moon Association will become a branch of My Mountain Sect; if My Mountain Sect loses, My Mountain Sect will affiliate with Dark Moon Association, and I will give you 20% of the pure profits from Illusion City," Tang Rao said.

When Tang Rao announced this bet, Shi Pang was truly frightened.

This is absolutely a high-stakes gamble.

20% of the net profits from Illusion City, that's a lot.

Although it's not much now, that's because Illusion City hasn't fully boomed yet. Once Illusion City takes off, the earnings will definitely be at a terrifying level.

Twenty percent of the net profits, how much could that be each year, maybe several hundred billion or even trillions of Immortal Stones.

With so many Immortal Stones, Dark Moon Association could definitely rise to the next level!

"Fatso, will you bet or not, just say something!" Tang Rao glanced sideway at Shi Pang, his face smiling.

Shi Pang hesitated, Tang Rao isn't exactly a philanthropist, he must be confident for daring so much.

But where the heck does his confidence come from with My Mountain Sect having such scant resources?

"We can bet, but we have to agree beforehand, Xiao Yun is not entering the game," Shi Pang said jokingly. He had seen Xiao Yun's strength before, definitely at the Nine-layer Luo Immortal level, if he steps in, who could compete?

"Sure, Xiao Yun won't participate. It will definitely be someone from My Mountain Sect, don't worry," Tang Rao said.

Shi Pang gritted his teeth, damn it, let's do it.

"Alright, let's make the bet!" Shi Pang nodded. Either way, it establishes a connection with My Mountain Sect.

My Mountain Sect will definitely rise in the future, just look at Tang Rao.

This guy is so cunning, his methods are brutal, plus now he has this weird thing like Illusion City, endlessly generating Immortal Stones, and if they can't develop, that would be strange.

Now is definitely the time to cling tightly to this super thigh.

Besides, Tang Rao trusts me a lot right now, when My Mountain Sect takes off, with his personality, he will surely lift me up with him to boast together.

"Smart decision." Tang Rao snapped his fingers and stood up, "Alright, I'm off. Oh, and you're paying for the drinks."

"What the fuck, you're so rich, why aren't you paying!"

"Bullshit, you're the host and I'm the guest, when do you make a guest pay, have you no shame!" Tang Rao scolded.

"You're capable! In a few days, I'll come to your Kao Shan Sect and eat you out of house and home!" Shi Pang said through gritted teeth.

"Feel free to visit anytime. However, our Kao Shan Sect is tucked away in the mountains. If you come, I'll have the kitchen whip up extra dishes of wild vegetables and such, so you can definitely eat your fill," Tang Rao said with a grin.

Shi Pang: "..."

After leaving the Jade Fragrance Pavilion, Tang Rao didn't head straight back to the Kao Shan Sect, but instead went to Fengyun Pavilion to find Liu Mingyue.

Liu Mingyue has been in high spirits these past few days since she finally received some news about Chen Tuan.

"Tang Rao, do you need something?" Under the peach blossom tree, Liu Mingyue was sitting and pouring a cup of tea for Tang Rao, the aroma of tea wafting through the air. As for Xiao Yun, she was bitterly studying a book at the side, occasionally rolling her eyes as she read.

"I have to return to the Kao Shan Sect," Tang Rao said straightforwardly.

Liu Mingyue was momentarily taken aback, then she nodded; she already knew about Tang Rao being the Sect Master of Kao Shan Sect.

"If there's any news about Chen Tuan, please let me know," Liu Mingyue said.

"Alright," Tang Rao nodded.

In fact, these past few days on Blue Star, he had already found Chen Tuan's incarnation, who was Sun Yan.

Sun Yan had now reached the Half-step Great Perfection and was just one step away from entering the Great Perfection Realm and then ascending to the Land of Immortals.

Tang Rao, under the guise of Zhou Shengdian, discreetly inquired, but Sun Yan had no awareness of being Chen Tuan. As for his own background, he couldn't say much himself, only knowing that he grew up in an orphanage and was later adopted by his current parents.

As for Sun Yan's attitude towards him, there was neither hate nor animosity.

In fact, he still felt grateful and regretful.

Grateful that Tang Rao brought him into cultivation, regretful for the shallow bond of master and apprentice between them.

As for Yun Xi, Sun Yan had long moved on, realizing from the start that Yun Xi never really liked him. She just treated him as a pawn, a spare part she could call upon at any moment.

Of course, Tang Rao didn't tell Sun Yan that Yun Xi was actually a man, Xue Xing, which would probably be an even bigger blow to him.

"Sister, why don't I just go with Tang Rao!" Seeing Tang Rao preparing to leave, Xiao Yun quickly stood up and said, "Didn't you say that Luo Mingyuan's identity was not simple? It'd be safer if I'm with him."

Tang Rao frowned slightly. Luo Mingyuan's identity was complicated? Isn't he just a Great Elder of the Dark Moon Association?

Liu Mingyue took a deep breath, pondered for a moment and then nodded, "That might be a good idea."

Hearing Liu Mingyue agree, Xiao Yun immediately got excited.

Following Tang Rao was much more interesting than staying here every day, and Tang Rao always managed to bring out fun and delicious things—super incredible!

"By the way, Tang Rao, actually Dark Moon Association is governed by a force called Sky City, and Luo Mingyuan was an elder of Sky City. Now that Luo Mingyuan is dead, if Sky City investigates, it might trace back to you," Liu Mingyue explained.

Tang Rao nodded, so that was it.

No wonder Luo Mingyuan, despite his strong abilities, never vied for the president position of Dark Moon Association; he belonged to Sky City. If he became the president of Dark Moon Association, other forces under Sky City's jurisdiction wouldn't be happy.

After all, although Sky City governed, directly seizing control of the subordinate forces would be crossing the line.

"Tang Rao, Xiao Yun needs to study for two hours every day, and you'll need to help me supervise that. Also, these are a few communication talismans, crush them in case of emergencies," Liu Mingyue handed a few items to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao's heart throbbed with excitement; Liu Mingyue must be of Immortal Emperor caliber—putting up a front would scare the daylights out of a whole bunch of people.
