The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1159 - 1158: Li Kecheng

Tang Rao tossed Jixing a book, Jixing flipped through two pages, then stopped."Master, you actually have this idea; you actually want to return to Blue Star!"

Jixing was so upset that he dissipated in smoke.

"I've worked hard to bring you up here, and now you just want to go back, without considering my feelings. If you go, I'll be done for."

Its mournful voice sent a chill down Tang Rao's spine.

Turns out, everything Tang Rao knew, Jixing had long been aware of.

"I just want to go down for a look and then come back. It's not like I'm never coming back."

Tang Rao rarely explained patiently to Jixing.

This little thing initially thought only of itself, but after spending some time with Jixing, he felt this little thing was quite endearing. If he were to part ways with Jixing, Tang Rao would definitely be reluctant.

"No way, it's impossible. You definitely want me to translate it for you, and then you'll go and never return."

Jixing had been deceived since childhood and was already immune to it. With Tang Rao's lie, even Jixing's toes could tell it was a lie.

"I really won't, I just want to see my wives and my kingdom, and then I'll come back. If I can, I want to bring them up here with me. How could I possibly abandon you?"

Tang Rao felt like coaxing Jixing was like coaxing a child.

"Fine then, although I don't believe you, I can't stop what you want to do, so I'll let you see it."

Jixing consistently had a reluctant look on his face.

"That's the best. I need it by tomorrow, so you better hurry up."

Tang Rao had to attend the second round of the tournament tomorrow, and after the tournament, there was a ten-day rest period. If possible, he wanted to use that time to go out.

"I know."

Only Jixing himself knew how aggrieved he felt inside.

Tang Rao exited his portable palace and, upon opening his eyes, found Li Qi Qi closely observing his face.

"Qi Qi, I'm so handsome that you're mesmerized and can't bear to part with me, right?"

Li Qi Qi's face flushed slightly, "Who can't bear to leave you, you narcissist."

Being teased by Tang Rao, Li Qi Qi was still not very accustomed to it.

She burrowed into the covers, no longer glancing at Tang Rao.

Tomorrow was the second round of the tournament.

Previously, he was just a lower god, but now with the accelerator, coupled with the powerful soul's support, whether Tang Rao could advance smoothly in this tournament was still unknown, but the likelihood of promotion should be greater, right?

The second round of the tournament was still held at the original venue, and Li Zhentong arrived at the venue even earlier than Tang Rao.

There were very few people left from the Li Family, and those who previously wanted to cause trouble for Tang Rao were mostly eliminated in the first round.

"Tang Rao, how have you prepared? Are you confident? You must win this round, even if it costs you your life, to protect your Li Family."

Li Zhentong was squeezing his hands in anxiety. If Tang Rao won, the Li Family and Li Zhentong's life would be saved, but if Tang Rao lost, both Li Zhentong's life and Tang Rao's Li Family would be gone.

Li Zhentong's reminder awakened Tang Rao. This old guy really knew how to grab one by the throat.

Knowing well that what Tang Rao valued was the Li Family, he said this deliberately to ensure Tang Rao's utmost effort.

"I will do my best."

Tang Rao assured Li Zhentong.

For the sake of Li Qi Qi and Li Zhentong, the father and daughter, reconciling, Tang Rao had to give it his all.

"Oh, Manager Tang, why are you here? Are you also here for the middle god tournament?"

Someone from the lower left behind Tang Rao greeted him.

The man's skin was fair and gave off a very pleasant feeling.

"Yes, are you too?"

Tang Rao remembered that this person had bid on a third-grade elixir pill back then. Unable to afford the Purple Crystal, the pill was eventually taken by someone else. This young man would only bid five hundred Purple Crystals above the starting price each time and then stop, making it difficult for Tang Rao to forget him.

"Yes, I saw you last time but only dared to introduce myself now."

The man's shy smile revealed a certain innocence.

"By the way, last time you wanted a third-grade elixir pill, right?"

Tang Rao took a third-grade elixir pill from a bottle and handed it to him, saying, "I saw how much you liked it last time, so I'll give you one. No need to pay."

The young man was somewhat overwhelmed at encountering such a generous boss.

"A pill for me? For no reason? Really?"

As Tang Rao expected, the young man truly couldn't believe it.

"Yes, last time seeing you wanted to buy it but didn't have the Purple Crystal, I knew you were upset. Our reunion is fate after all."

To give away a pill worth thousands of Purple Crystals because of fate—Tang Rao is indeed a bit of a big spender when it comes to sentimentality.

"Manager Tang, I have five hundred grams of Purple Crystal with me; it's all my property. I'll give you the five hundred grams now, and repay you when I earn more. Is that okay?"

Tang Rao had already said no payment was needed, yet the young man still insisted on giving Tang Rao the money. This persistence moved Tang Rao to accept the Purple Crystal quickly.

"Since you insist on giving, I won't be polite."

Judging by Tang Rao's appearance, he seemed quite pleased.

The young man took the elixir pill and handed Tang Rao the Purple Crystal.

When he took out the pill, wanting to look at it closely, he was slightly dazed.

"Manager Tang, this pill isn't right; it's a fourth-grade pill."

Between a third-grade and fourth-grade pill, there was at least the distance of a high river.

"Five hundred Purple Crystals for a fourth-grade pill, a deal you can't lose or get cheated in, quite a bargain."

Tang Rao smiled at the young man. As long as he liked someone, he was willing to take a slight loss to be kind to them.

This young man was precisely that kind of person. Tang Rao had said he would gift him the pill, yet the young man insisted on giving him the Purple Crystals.

People who don't covet are often more valued by others.

"I'm Li Kecheng, a loose cultivator, helping another loose cultivator family in the tournament."

The young man introduced himself to Tang Rao.

So, his name was Li Kecheng. Tang Rao took another few looks at him.

Li Kecheng introduced himself just out of politeness and respect for Tang Rao, knowing well that someone of Tang Rao's caliber wouldn't care who Li Kecheng was. Someone who could casually give away elixirs, while Li Kecheng had to exhaust his entire fortune just for a single third-grade pill—why should Tang Rao regard him highly?

"Hello, I'm Tang Rao."

Just as Li Kecheng felt disheartened and was preparing to simply watch the competition, Tang Rao showed a broad smile, revealing his white teeth, to Li Kecheng.

Their exchange was limited to this, but Tang Rao hadn't yet noticed Li Kecheng's admiration for him.

Li Kecheng had always idolized Tang Rao, but unfortunately, both were entering the tournament next. Tang Rao had his plans, while Li Kecheng thought that if he wanted to propose following Tang Rao, he should at least try to survive the tournament first, right?
