The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Why did you accept the task from Lu Shengkai? One hundred million Immortal Stones should be nothing to you, right?" Zhou Wenmo asked.

To be honest, she didn't quite understand Tang Rao's thinking.

You were just in conflict with the Lu Family.

"There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests. Since there's money to be made, why shouldn't I make it? Besides, I have no grudges with Lu Shengkai; he pays, I investigate. It's completely reasonable," Tang Rao said with a shrug.

"No grudges? You just conned him out of a hundred million."

"No, no, no. That wasn't a con, it was a transaction. He spent a hundred million for the Lu Family's safety, for Lu Tianhao's life. If he hadn't spent that money, I would've taken Lu Tianhao down; to put it accurately, we're even," Tang Rao explained.

Zhou Wenmo opened her mouth but didn't know what to say; anyway, she found Tang Rao's way of thinking a bit incomprehensible.

"This kind of thing involves values and worldviews; you might as well not force yourself to understand. Without really experiencing the influence that spans thousands of years, you won't get it," Tang Rao waved sayonara.

Zhou Wenmo rolled her eyes. I don't even understand what you just said.

Influence spanning thousands of years... what the heck is that.

"Let's get back to discussing that woman," Tang Rao snapped his fingers. "If I'm not mistaken, she's the kind of woman who likes to seduce men. Of course, there's also another possibility; her identity seems to be that of a courtesan."

"What do you mean by 'identity setup'? Could it be that she has multiple identities?" Zhou Wenmo was somewhat surprised.

"I've seen her once, and how should I put it, despite trying hard to imitate, she still lacks a bit of that brothel essence," Tang Rao said.

"Boss, you seem to know quite a lot?" Zhou Wenmo commented.

"Just average, I have good observational skills and am quite detailed in observing things and people," Tang Rao coughed. Just a guess for now, Wenmo, don't take it so seriously.

Besides, there's Xiao Yun, an underage girl right here, don't set me up, don't be an old driver who can't let go of the accelerator.

"So, she's probably not really from the pleasure quarters but rather created such an identity for herself. That way, Lu Tianhao feels relieved, and the Lu Family won't investigate. After all, how could a power like the Lu Family bother about a woman of loose morals? If Lu Tianhao was indeed killed by her, then her face we saw earlier might have been fake too. Being so adept at hiding, she wouldn't show her true face. She must have changed her appearance by now," Tang Rao continued.

Although this was only speculation, it was already close to the truth.

Naturally, Tang Rao wasn't just talking nonsense; all this had a trail to follow, otherwise, do you think those criminal profilers who assist the police are just twiddling their thumbs?

A lot of things, from your expressions, the look in your eyes, and every move, will reveal themselves.

"Uh, if that's really the case, then how do we investigate?" Zhou Wenmo asked.

"If my initial judgment is correct, then all we need to do is wait. Having abandoned her previous identity, she'll construct a new one for herself. I think... her new target might be me," Tang Rao smirked.

Zhou Wenmo looked astounded. Eh, you can deduce that? Why? It defies logic.

"You might not believe it, but my sixth sense is usually spot-on," Tang Rao said with a laugh.

"Just now, you said if your initial judgment is right, but what if your earlier deduction is wrong?" Zhou Wenmo asked.

"Then just consider what I said before to be nonsense, and I won't earn that billion from Lu Shengkai, not a big deal," Tang Rao spread his hands nonchalantly.

This matter was pretty casual anyway, if I can solve it I make money, if not, so be it.

Talking about it, it's just a billion Immortal Stones. Illusion City is gradually developing in the Land of Immortals, and before long, I'll be earning tens of billions a month, reaching the pinnacle of life.

Zhou Wenmo: "..."

...

Three days later, Tang Rao hadn't encountered any beautiful women trying to strike up a conversation. Okay, truth be told, not even an old lady asking for directions.

This made him start to doubt his earlier judgment. Did I really guess wrong?

It shouldn't be, that woman looked anything but simple.

I'm so outstanding and awesome, and you are so extraordinary; shouldn't you be targeting someone outstanding like me?

"Xiao Yun, lighten up, damn!" In the courtyard, Tang Rao was screaming. As for Xiao Yun, she was standing on Tang Rao's back, hands on hips, with a disdainful smile.

"Tang Rao, you weakling, too rubbish. With how weak you are, you go out pretending to be tough; be careful someone kills you when I'm not around," Xiao Yun shouted at Tang Rao.

Tang Rao: "..."

"Xiao Yun, speaking of which, let go of me first. This is too embarrassing. At the end of the day, I am still a Sect Master, and if people from the sect saw this, where would I put my face?" Tang Rao was lying on the ground, utterly dejected.

"If you don't want to get hit, you should be more capable. Look at you, wandering around all day and not doing your job; when will you be able to reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm?" Xiao Yun lifted her foot that was stepping on Tang Rao's back, looking frustrated with him.

At that moment, Tang Rao really wanted to tell Xiao Yun: If I were also born in the Land of Immortals and had your kind of Cultivation environment, Dad would have become an Immortal Emperor long ago! I would have dominated a territory by now!

"Sect Master, Sect Master..." Just as Tang Rao got up from the ground, Fan Xiaohua ran in swiftly.

Seeing Tang Rao dusty and disheveled, Fan Xiaohua wasn't surprised; it must be Xiao Yun bullying him again.

"What's up?" Tang Rao asked.

"Outside, someone's looking for you! Holy cow, she's a stunning beauty! Sect Master, how come you have such good luck with women, teach me a couple of tricks some time. I've been single for twenty or thirty years, and my fertile land is almost oozing oil!" Fan Xiaohua said.

Of course, Tang Rao didn't pay attention to Fan Xiaohua's silly chatter, but narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that woman had come knocking?

"Alright, I'll go take a look." Tang Rao nodded, dispersed the dust on his body with the power of Immortal Power, and then walked out.

At the gate, there was a woman standing, tall and slender, dressed in cyan attire, her makeup delicate and elegant, her gaze like water, as if she was a woman from Blue Star Yan Country's Yan Nan, every smile and frown exuding the gentleness of a spring breeze and soft rain.

Tang Rao slightly furrowed his brow; he was now somewhat unsure.

This cyan-clad woman gave him a very genuine feeling. Her actions and expressions were flawless.

There were only two possibilities: either her acting was transcendent, or this cyan-clad woman truly was as gentle and delicate as she seemed.

"Hello, I heard you were looking for me?" Tang Rao stepped forward and asked directly.

The cyan-clad woman looked up at Tang Rao.

Then she bowed slightly: "The junior Qin Nuahuai greets Mr. Tang."
