The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1453 - 1452: Arrogant High God

For example, when Tang Rao looked at Wu Suowei again, Wu Suowei crossed his arms and shouted "harassment," as if this shameful act was not something he hadn't done many times before; he was quite adept at it."How come I've never seen such an outstanding mentor like you before? I think you're doing an amazing job, Master. I won't ask any more questions. If I see something I like, I'll just buy it."

Running out of money and asking Wu Suowei for it again, this bold idea, if Wu Suowei found out, would no doubt give him chills down his spine.

"Master, what is this thing?"

Tang Rao walked to a not-so-conspicuous spot in the corner and couldn't move any further.

On a small stall about a step in length, there was a pile of dark stuff. It looked unremarkable, and Tang Rao almost left the small stall if Little Hedgehog hadn't been about to explode in the portable palace. Tang Rao wouldn't have slowed down.

"This is..."

Furnace Stone?

Wu Suowei was a bit unsure because he had never seen such a large Furnace Stone before.

"Hey, brother, is this the legendary Furnace Stone?"

Wu Suowei asked humbly.

As a Master Artifact Caster, Wu Suowei knew all too well what Furnace Stone meant to artifact refiners.

"Good eye, sir, this is indeed Furnace Stone."

The young man was also humble. It didn't matter to him if someone was really intending to buy or not, or if they had the means to barter for it. As long as someone showed interest, he would diligently explain it each time.

"Master, what is this Furnace Stone? Is it a stone that takes up a lot of space in the furnace?"

Tang Rao was at a loss. He didn't know why he was so out of touch with society, to the point where he had really never heard of Furnace Stone before.

"There's really nothing for us to discuss, a natural chasm exists between us. You don't even know what a Furnace Stone is, and you want to become an Artifact Refiner?"

Though Wu Suowei was disdainful, he patiently explained the concept to Tang Rao.

"The Furnace Stone is specifically used to increase the success rate of artifact refining. Unlike its name suggests, it's not as redundant as it sounds. The largest Furnace Stone you can buy in the market is only about as big as a fingernail. I've lived so many years, and this is the first time I've seen a piece of Furnace Stone like the one this young man has. This piece could ensure the successful crafting of an entire ship."

The implication was that he needed it, but he planned to use it to craft something for Tang Rao, and had no intention of keeping it for himself. Thus, the money to buy it, or the cost to barter for the Furnace Stone, would have to be borne by Tang Rao.

"Brother, are you selling this thing, or willing to trade?"

Tang Rao negotiated with the seller of the Furnace Stone. As long as it was something Wu Suowei wanted or needed, Tang Rao was determined to obtain it for Wu Suowei. This was a man's promise to another man.

"Not selling, only trading."

The young man allowed with a smile.

As he fiddled with the Furnace Stone in his hand, the stone glimmered brightly.

"What do you want in exchange? I'll give you whatever I have."

Tang Rao set the terms very liberally. The young man grinned and indeed began discussing terms with Tang Rao.

"I'm not one to take advantage of others. One Furnace Stone in exchange for the Divine Stone on you, that's not too much to ask, is it?"

Divine Stone?

Tang Rao didn't know why, but instinctively he grabbed Wu Suowei, not even wanting the Furnace Stone anymore, just focusing on escaping this crowded place first.

"Help! We've disguised ourselves, how could he still recognize me? So many people want to kill me, even if you want to, couldn't you at least pretend you don't recognize me?"

Crying, Tang Rao ran, so fast that he started to question his own life.

"Master, look at me, I'm so scared I'm crying. Give me a hand, will you?"

The man was still chasing them, nearly reaching Tang Rao.

"Who helps me if I help you? It's not easy to exert power here; we need to find a flat open space."

With so many people coming and going, finding a less crowded place to avoid revealing their true identities was the wise choice.

After traversing mountains and rivers, Wu Suowei finally found a place he deemed suitable.

This feng shui treasure land had mountains and rivers, with chirping birds and fragrant flowers. Tang Rao was reluctant to ruin such a beautiful scene.

"Chasing us for so long just for the Divine Stone, you really are determined."

Tang Rao caught his breath, while Wu Suowei stepped in front of him, facing the man who had pursued them.

"The person I'm looking for is Tang Rao. You mixed-gender freak, get lost."

The once humble brother revealed his true self when there was no one else around.

Wu Suowei snorted, adjusting the fake pieces on his chest.

He loved it when people mocked his dreams. So what if he cross-dressed? That was art. Who were they to criticize him?

"You seemed so cultured, yet you have such a narrow mind. How could someone like you think you're worthy of the Divine Stone?"

Big Headed Ghost, more like it.

"Master, next-level deity? Should I test this guy's depth?"

If this guy's strength was as high as it seemed, that would be something. But Tang Rao judged him as just next-level deity, making it much easier to handle.

"Indeed, next-level deity. I thought you were scared, that's why I stepped in. Since you can handle it, I'll let you take over and show me what you've got."

Wu Suowei gestured for Tang Rao to proceed.

"Thanks!"

Without hesitation, Tang Rao engaged in a fight with the man.

Over recent days, he had learned quite a bit from Wu Suowei's combat techniques.

Striking quickly and accurately, the craftier the person, the craftier the tactics needed to deal with them.

In a normal situation, Tang Rao would first inquire about the other person's sect and name before engaging in combat, but not now. He attacked swiftly and decisively, like a swift swallow. After a few Thunderclap Palms, the opponent was dazed.

"How can you, also at the level of a next-level deity, be more arrogant than a mid-level deity?"

Tang Rao kept a low profile, yet he encountered someone even more arrogant, making him somewhat irritated.

"Fight or fork over the Divine Stone, cut the crap."

The man gained no ground against Tang Rao, and his frustration increased, rousing a desire to fight Tang Rao again to restore his dignity.

"I'm not continuing this fight. I've poisoned you just now; fighting more would waste energy. Why not wait until you wish you were dead?"
