The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1179 - 1178: Dual Constitutions

Tang Rao knew that Wen Lei's intentions for coming weren't pure. Fortunately, this guy always wore his thoughts on his sleeve, so while Tang Rao occasionally guarded against Wen Lei's father, he always felt quite at ease with Wen Lei himself."I do have some, and I'll give you some more. But I'm afraid you can't handle such strong stuff. How about I give you some of the newly improved formula?"

Wen Lei's eyes lit up. "That's great, boss. I knew I followed the right person."

"As for you all, you've seen it now, my house is gone. Those who have money can donate money, and those who have strength can offer strength. Anyone wanting to lend a hand and contribute a bit, I wouldn't mind one bit."

Tang Rao actually started asking his underlings for help?

At first, they thought Tang Rao was joking, but after seeing his resolute expression, everyone's heads hung low.

"Boss, you know how many Purple Crystals I have. I'll hand them all over."

Zhang Wang didn't even think twice and handed his Space Ring to Tang Rao.

All the Purple Crystals were inside, and Zhang Wang had no more to give.

"If it's not enough, I'll sell some goods and bring more Purple Crystals to you later."

This kid Zhang Wang, Tang Rao's care for him wasn't wasted. He was truly loyal.

"Tang Rao, my young friend, I can support you with some of these. I am not sure how many Purple Crystals are in here, but take them first. If it's not enough, I'll find more for you."

Mr. Wen also handed over a Space Ring to Tang Rao. With just a glance, Tang Rao could see its rich contents.

"Gratefully accepted, thank you, sir."

Tang Rao accepted the items, clasped his hands together, and expressed his gratitude to Mr. Wen.

"Liu Da, keep your things. You all are in a difficult position yourselves."

Liu Da was about to bring out all his possessions when Tang Rao spoke first, refusing their offerings.

"Boss, we might not be strong enough to help you, and I'm really sorry."

He expressed deep remorse for being unable to aid Tang Rao.

"Let's not say those things between us. Things will get better in the future."

Liu Da retracted his hand. Though their boss didn't need their help now, when the day came, he would spare no effort to repay Tang Rao's kindness.

"Still not leaving? Planning to stay and rebuild my house?"

No, they had no intention of rebuilding Tang Rao's house. Such a massive task wasn't something a few people could handle in ten days or half a month.

"Boss, I just remembered I need to open the shop this afternoon. To earn more Purple Crystals for you, I'll head back first. No need to see me off."

It was Zhang Wang who first decided to leave.

"Tang Rao, my young friend, there are still a few days left before the next tournament. As judges, we need to go back and prepare. It's not up to us next time, so take care."

After saying this, Mr. Wen and Wen Lei disappeared from the Tingzhou Li Family.

Fan Hua's trusted aides were instructed by Fan Hua that they should do whatever Tang Rao asked of them. When everyone else had left, only these two remained.

"You're still here, planning to clean up the trash for me?"

Tang Rao did not know the identities of the two in front of him.

"We were sent by our master Fan Hua. The master ordered us to do whatever you say. Is there anything you need?"

These two were so genuine that Tang Rao was almost moved to tears by their sincerity.

Unexpectedly, although Fan Hua wasn't the wealthiest among the judges, he was certainly the most conscientious.

"In truth, there's not much to do. As you can see, it's a huge mess here. Two people can't clean up such a large mess. I appreciate the master's thought, but you can go back and tell him that anytime he needs my help, he just has to ask. I'll definitely be his friend."

Speaking of making friends, Tang Rao wasn't trying to reach too high. He just felt Fan Hua was a good person. Even if Fan Hua had nothing, at least his character was solid.

"Since you say so, we'll return to report back."

The two handsome young men didn't cling to him, showing quite good manners.

Everyone had left. Tang Rao stood alone on the ruins, feeling as though the entire world had fallen silent.

In this seemingly apocalyptic place, what lay ahead was Tang Rao's dream, and a new responsibility for him to shoulder.

While he was contemplating, on one side of the cave, Leng Pengfei and Li Tao were undergoing an unprecedented punishment.

They were tied to a stalactite column as countless bolts of thunder struck them. Even though they had once passed a calamity and knew the power of Thunder, they realized now that the lightning strikes given by the man in black were far beyond what they had previously endured.

Now, the bolts striking them were as thick as stalactite columns.

Strangely, though the thunder struck them, the stalactite showed no change.

"Do you know your mistake?"

The thunder struck for a full hour before the man in black retracted the lightning.

"I know."

"I know."

Even if they didn't know, they would claim they did just to avoid further beatings, or else they would be the ones to continue suffering.

"If there's a next time, the punishment won't be this simple."

The man in black spoke to Leng Pengfei and Li Tao.

"Now you may explain why you didn't take that boy's life."

The man in black released them.

They both rolled to the ground, unable to walk steadily after an hour of continuous electric shocks.

"Master, we burned the Tingzhou Li Family to rubble. Tang Rao came up to fight me, and I thought the dark energy would take his life. I didn't anticipate whatever constitution Tang Rao has; no matter how much dark energy I released, he absorbed it all. What's more astonishing is that as the dark energy was absorbed, Tang Rao's power grew."

If he hadn't seen it himself, Tang Rao wouldn't have believed it. What he considered his ultimate move was nothing to the other; wasn't that like slapping his own face?

"Li Tao, is what he says true?"

"Yes, Master, it's true."

Li Tao had something placed on her by the man in black. If she told a lie, she would immediately explode and die.

Li Tao had no reason to sacrifice her life for Leng Pengfei.

"Has Tang Rao become dual-natured?"

The man in black mused to himself, and no one understood what he meant.

"I'd heard that candidates could become dual-natured, but such an opportunity is extremely rare. Tang Rao hasn't been in the Divine Realm that long, has he? It shouldn't be possible."

These things that defy natural laws actually appeared before the man in black.

"You may leave. Study the third and fourth chapters of the Black Magic Technique diligently during this time, or else you'll just become stepping stones on Tang Rao's path forward."

The man in black sounded a warning, wanting them to understand the gravity of the situation.
