The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1744 - 1743: Obsession

"But since he's already in the portable palace, he's got to be like us—keep his heart calm and his temper down. He absolutely can't go on like before, thinking he's the boss of the entire palace. With that personality of his, everyone inside will be fed up with him."Don't think just anyone can enter the portable palace—there are rules in here too. When he explained those rules to Tang Rao, Tang Rao felt they made perfect sense. Sure enough, he immediately went to stand by the little Fire Ginseng's side.

"Ent, don't think we can't tell what's going on in that head of yours. Next time you say you're gonna zap so-and-so, I'll burn every last hair off your body, see how arrogant you can still act then!"

The Ent nodded again and again.

He gave in, and he knew that only by listening to the little Fire Ginseng would he have a place here. He also knew that only by behaving could he avoid getting his fur roasted off by that flame breath again.

"Since you two have already come to an understanding, I won't interfere in your relationship anymore."

Tang Rao withdrew from the portable palace. Whether they fought or argued in there, that was their own business from now on. Tang Rao only had so much energy; he still had to hunt down the Eldest Son of Yan Family and settle that blood debt.

After being hit once by Tang Rao's Taotie Hand, the Eldest Son of Yan Family's internal organs were all displaced. If he hadn't had that life-saving Instant Transfer Talisman on him, he would've long since become a dead soul beneath Tang Rao's fist.

"Really ran into it this time. When a man's unlucky, even cold water'll get stuck in his teeth. Once I've healed up, if I don't kill you, I'll gift you my surname Yan!"

The Eldest Son of Yan Family's hatred for Tang Rao was no less than Tang Rao's hatred for him.

"This is North Island. Watch your mouth. If someone with bad intentions hears you, you'll drag me down with you!"

The Eldest Son of Yan Family was covered in wounds, with nowhere to stay and no one to look after him. If not for that, his corpse might already be cold.

Right now, the man beside the Eldest Son of Yan Family was sipping tea while talking to him, throwing in a few reminders.

"What you told me last time, about Tang Rao getting a huge bargain on our East Island and causing the whole island to be thrown into chaos—that's all true?"

The Eldest Son of Yan Family appropriately reined in his emotions and shifted to the topic he actually cared about.

"Of course it's true. I swear on my reputation, this is first-hand intel from me. Those people died, so they're just dead—nothing to do with us. But what Tang Rao got on East Island, you really don't want to know at all?"

The man's eyes practically had the words "Purple Crystal" written all over them.

"Of course I want to know. Just thinking about how many Purple Crystals he's got is enough to keep us up at night. Once he's dead, won't all those Purple Crystals on him end up in our pockets?"

Last time the Eldest Son of Yan Family failed to kill Granny Hua and didn't stir up chaos in the entire Kao Shan Sect, and in the end even failed to kill Tang Rao, the anger in his heart was raging up and down, never settling. Not only because Tang Rao ruined the once-prosperous Yan Family, leaving them in ruins, but also because that duck already at his lips suddenly flew away. That gap in his heart—going from rich to poor in a blink—was something he just couldn't accept.

"Right, didn't you say those few people were very important to Tang Rao, and that you gave me a Poison that no one could detoxify? So what happened? Not a single one of them died. Don't tell me those so-called antidotes you gave me were just to fool me?"

The Eldest Son of Yan Family wasn't stupid. Things he hadn't figured out before, he might not ask right away, but that didn't mean he'd bury his doubts forever and never mention them.

The man in front of him was like a grasshopper on the same rope as him; in theory, he should trust this man one hundred percent. But too many things had happened around him lately, and frankly speaking, he'd better keep his guard up about all this, in case he got betrayed by someone he trusted and ended up stuck again.

"Lao Yan, what's that supposed to mean? You saw for yourself how that Poison worked. You stayed in Tang Rao's Zijing City quite a while and watched how they were scrambling around, desperate to detoxify it. If he hadn't suddenly taken out two eighth-grade Detoxification Pills, would those two still be alive?"

As soon as the topic turned to Tang Rao being able to detoxify poisons, the man got a bit depressed.

All his family's ancestral Poisons—the ones he was usually too stingy to use—had been handed over to the Eldest Son of Yan Family for revenge. Not only did they fail to kill anyone, they even made the Eldest Son of Yan Family start doubting their partnership.

"That's true. I never thought Tang Rao would have those heaven-defying eighth-grade Elixir Pills on him. Tsk, and you say a single eighth-grade Elixir Pill is almost impossible to find, yet Tang Rao's tossing them out two at a time like it's nothing."

Some people are just born to be envied and hated by everyone else. Tang Rao might be exactly that type.

"Once we kill Tang Rao, forget Purple Crystals, just the eighth-grade Elixir Pills on him will be enough to make us rich. After we've struck it rich, you think we'll still have trouble getting access to that higher echelon?"

Inside a not-so-big house, the Eldest Son of Yan Family and the sallow-faced man started laughing lewdly.

Tang Rao sneezed as he returned to Kao Shan Sect. He'd searched outside for a long time, followed one lead after another, and still hadn't found a single clue.

"That old fox, playing hide-and-seek for no reason—where the hell did he hide himself?"

Tang Rao had punched the Eldest Son of Yan Family clean out of existence with one blow, and afterwards Granny Hua had specially explained to Tang Rao why that had happened.

Once he learned the Eldest Son of Yan Family had only escaped and hadn't actually died under his hand, Tang Rao had put in even more effort searching for him.

"Yan Wei, the whole North Island is under our surveillance. With so many eyes spread out here, you're telling me we still don't have a single lead?"

If they still had nothing at all, no matter how hard he pushed himself, even he would start feeling like giving up.

"Nothing yet. Because we don't know where he jumped from. He just went 'whoosh' and disappeared. He could've gone to any place we don't know about, so we can't analyze any escape route at all. I'm already racking my brain here, so stop rushing me."

Even if he rushed him, the result would still be the same.

"Anyway, that guy's not in your Zijing City. You, put that anxious heart of yours back in your chest and go get some proper rest first. I'm gonna go find Xiao Bai and study something. I'm not hanging out with you for now."

Tang Rao's doubts hadn't been cleared up yet. He'd thought finding Yan Wei would solve things, but who knew this heartless guy would run off the moment he found an excuse—before Tang Rao could even finish his question!

"Damn, Tang Rao, you're even more useless than I thought. Consider my horizons broadened today."

Tang Rao pulled a long face. He hadn't expected that, at a time like this, not only was there no one to comfort him, there was actually someone specially jumping out to kick him while he was down and trash-talk him.

"Did I mess with you or something? Fine, you're so capable—then tell me, where's the guy I'm looking for?"

Tang Rao wished he could rip the Ent into tiny pieces, especially that mouth of his. The Ent had never once said a single pleasant word to Tang Rao.
