The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Tang Rao, it's so annoying. I should just kill him." Xiao Yun sent a telepathic message to Tang Rao, as she couldn't stand Hao Tian's non-stop blabbering anymore, it was driving her nuts.

Tang Rao, of course, shook his head. It's a joke, I've been grinning and bearing it all this time, if I give up now, all the disgusting talk I've endured would have been for nothing.

"Tang Rao, if you don't agree, I'm going to have to call some people and take action. Then, don't blame me for being ruthless, hahaha." Hao Tian said with a laugh.

Laugh your...

Tang Rao cursed in his mind but maintained a sycophantic smile on his face.

"I agree, I agree, a total of six hundred million Immortal Stones, I'll give them!" Tang Rao quickly said.

Hearing Tang Rao agree to pay, Hao Tian's eyes lit up. Good grief, does this guy really have so much money? Six hundred million, not sixty thousand, not six hundred thousand...

This guy, he's got quite the foundation.

Of course, Hao Tian had already planned it in his heart. As soon as Tang Rao paid up, he would have Ah Quan send Tang Rao to his death.

Only with Tang Rao dead could he truly be relaxed.

"Erm, Young Master Hao Tian, I don't have enough Immortal Stones on me. Please have a seat, I'll have someone fetch them." Tang Rao said to Hao Tian.

Hao Tian gave Tang Rao a look. In his eyes, Tang Rao was completely subdued, with no chance of pulling any tricks.

"Fine, you stay here." Hao Tian said.

"Xiao Yun, go to my room and bring over the Immortal Stones, bring them all to Young Master Hao Tian. You have three minutes to bring them to me, otherwise, you know what will happen," Tang Rao told Xiao Yun.

"Oh." Xiao Yun nodded and turned to leave.

Since she had already agreed to play along with Tang Rao's act, she might as well follow Tang Rao's script. As for Tang Rao's plan, Xiao Yun trusted it quite a bit. At least since she started following Tang Rao, he had never failed.

"Young Master Hao Tian, please have a seat, it will just be a moment," Tang Rao said with a smile.

"Tang Rao, if you had come to your senses earlier, none of this would have happened, you know? Let me tell you, this Land of Immortals is full of gods, and all around there are people you can't afford to offend, like me. Who am I? I am Hao Tian, the number one talent of Qinghe Sect, the personal disciple of Sect Master Wan Yuan of Qinghe Sect!" Hao Tian sat down with a face full of arrogance.

A vein on Tang Rao's temple throbbed. Hao Tian, can you just shut up? Seriously, if you keep talking, I really can't hold back any longer, I really want to beat you to a pulp.

"Exactly, exactly, Young Master Hao Tian is right, it was all my fault before. I promise, from now on I will be a good person," Tang Rao said.

Hao Tian glanced at Tang Rao and sneered in his heart. Be a good person, huh? Once I get those six hundred million Immortal Stones, I'll send you down to Hell.

As for being a good person, that can only wait for your next life.

Sorry, but I, Hao Tian, am just that cold-blooded, that cool, that supremely intelligent. Tang Rao, just wait for the moment of despair when you lose both the Immortal Stones and your life.

Don't hate me for it, it can't be helped, who told you that not only is my Martial Arts talent domineering, but my IQ is also exceptional.

Luckily, these thoughts were all young Hao Tian's internal musings. If they were spoken and heard by Tang Rao, Tang Rao might've had a nervous breakdown.

Time ticked away, second by second, and in the shadows, Ah Quan's unease grew thicker and thicker.

He didn't know why, but ever since he entered this courtyard, he felt suffocated, as if something was out of place. But what exactly was wrong, he couldn't pinpoint.

Especially Tang Rao's attitude towards Hao Tian, which made him even more puzzled.

Tang Rao was capable of killing Cai Guanghui and the other two, he's definitely not a coward. So, it's very likely that this is a trap set by Tang Rao.

"Could it be... Tang Rao is stalling for time, planning to catch us all in one swoop?" A terrifying thought appeared in Ah Quan's mind.

"Ouch, there really is someone here." In the next moment, Ah Quan heard the voice of a young girl.

Ah Quan's body suddenly tensed up, and he almost leaped to his feet.

Holy shit, do you have to scare someone like that.

What if I had had a heart attack?

"Is it you?" Ah Quan, along with five others, had already assumed their combat stances with impressive speed.

Ah Quan recognized her; wasn't this young girl Xiao Yun who had been with Tang Rao just now?

Wasn't she supposed to go to the room to fetch the Immortal Stone? How did she end up here...

And, how did she approach without making a sound, and none of the six of them detected her presence? What kind of Realm is this?

"You're the ones protecting Hao Tian, aren't you?" Xiao Yun didn't launch an attack; she simply spoke indifferently.

Ah Quan didn't respond. He really didn't want to nod and admit he was here to protect Hao Tian—who the hell wants to protect an imbecile, let them do it.

"Oh right, my mistake, Tang Rao mentioned that you were here to feel out the situation. As for Hao Tian, that moron has always been nothing but bait. Whether he lives or dies, I suppose you guys don't really care, do you?" Xiao Yun continued.

Ah Quan glared with wide eyes and swallowed hard. How... how did Tang Rao know about this?

It doesn't make sense; even he only found out today that the Sect Master was impatient with Hao Tian and didn't care about his life or death.

"Here's the deal, as Tang Rao told me. Cai Guanghui and the others were indeed killed by him, Tang Rao, but there was a reason for that. If your Sect Master agrees, Tang Rao will offer something as an apology; if your Sect Master doesn't agree, then it will have to be a tough fight. Either way, the decision rests with your Qinghe Sect," Xiao Yun said.

Ah Quan frowned.

"Alright, you may leave now," Xiao Yun said.

Ah Quan hesitated, wondering whether or not to attack Xiao Yun.

Experience told him that a girl around fourteen or fifteen couldn't possibly have much strength; but the truth was, Xiao Yun had effortlessly bypassed the perception of all of them.

If this little girl happened to be some world-defying existence, then by attacking, they could plunge themselves into inescapable doom.

Of course, Ah Quan also had to consider the Sect Master; if they return like this, the Sect Master would surely be displeased.

One should know that the Sect Master had invested a lot in them and had high hopes. Up until now, all his missions had been successful, and he had never let the Sect Master down.

"How do I know you aren't deceiving me?" Ah Quan asked.

As soon as Ah Quan's words fell, Xiao Yun's figure in front of him suddenly vanished.

I'm done for!

Seeing Xiao Yun disappear, Ah Quan's pores burst open in dread.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" Just when Ah Quan didn't know what to do, six thunderous sounds came.

Including Ah Quan, all six were blasted away by a single palm strike, piling up together.

Each one had a bloody palm print on their chest.

Obviously, if Xiao Yun had not held back, these six people would already be reporting to the underworld.

"Deceive you? Do you think you're worthy?" Xiao Yun stood with her hands behind her back, her face full of arrogance, "I'll give you one more chance. Either get lost, or stay here forever."
