The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1102 - 1101: Making Trouble

"That's good. If you dare to mess around up there, I won't let you off."You Xiaoxiao almost got in Tang Rao's face; luckily, it was just a video chat, so she could see but not touch.

"Still have the nerve to sleep here? Aren't you going to work?"

Tang Rao was happily video chatting with his wives, when suddenly someone barged in, kicked his bed, and startled him awake.

"Still work? It's my first day, and I'm already exhausted."

Talking about this matter, Tang Rao still felt pessimistic inside.

He had a hard life; why, upon arriving in the Divine Realm, could everyone bully him?

"Tired? And being tired means you don't work? I'm tired every day and haven't complained twice. What are you whining about now?"

Heh?

You have the life of a leader. Can't even us lowly folks complain a bit? What kind of world is this?

"Hurry up and go, or else I'll deal with you myself."

The leader threatened Tang Rao again.

"Where do I have to go now?"

Luckily, Tang Rao had already logged out of the Illusion City, or else his wives would see how pathetic he looked there, ruining his reputation.

"To the main island. There's a banquet today, and we're short on people."

Main island?

Tang Rao felt a thud in his heart.

Why aren't there enough people on the main island, and they have to borrow someone from Li Qi Qi's place?

He was simply cautious, but of course, he had reasons for being suspicious.

"Little Fire Shark, if anyone tries to harm Li Qi Qi, bite them to death and make sure to protect her well."

Tang Rao hid the Hellfire Shark under the covers and got up first, following the others to the main island.

Meanwhile, the Hellfire Shark communicated with Tang Rao from under the blanket, grateful it hadn't suffocated.

"Brother, the main island is so far, can't we ride an immortal beast there? My legs are killing me."

Tang Rao whined, but the manager didn't respond.

Actually, asking was pointless; where in the Divine Realm would a lower deity have the right to ride an immortal beast?

"Place all the dishes on their respective tables, move those large items to the right spots, and don't let the manager here catch you slacking, or you'll regret it."

The person managing Li Qi Qi's island was the most lenient Tang Rao had ever seen.

It's just moving stuff; who's incapable of that?

Tang Rao's years of building muscles like Popeye weren't just for display; they were genuinely useful.

The manager soon left, and Tang Rao officially joined the moving brigade. The number of people on the island was truly impressive, even Tang Rao envied Li Zhentong's connections.

Look at the Divine Realm people; their food, drink, and clothing all differ.

Tang Rao glanced at the high-ranking person sitting there, guessing that he must be Li Zhentong.

Sitting next to Li Zhentong was a voluptuous woman. Li Zhentong's taste leaned toward plump women, elegantly naming it "beauty through fullness." Put this in the Huang Dynasty context, and he'd be practically mad about his preferences.

Tang Rao hadn't had enough of a look when his forehead met with a solid slap.

"I told you to do your job, not to gawp at the Family Head. Do your work quickly, or it'll cost you your life."

Being a lower deity is miserable; even among them, some can be commanders, while Tang Rao can only be an errand boy, also worrying about getting beaten at any time.

A life as grim as this — he certainly didn't want a repeat.

"I'm on it, I'm on it."

Saying this, he obediently did his tasks.

In the Divine Realm, it's not like he'd get beaten all the time. Tang Rao also wanted a good life. Those who hit him would pay the price.

He walked in the opposite direction from the manager, perfectly taking twenty steps as the manager fell abruptly.

Someone shouted a dead man was here, drawing all the guests' startled and anxious attention.

The manager was tortured to death by Tang Rao. Having crafted so many poisons, he occasionally had to play with them to justify his naturally quick mind.

"Look, this person's skin is all black; he must've been poisoned. The food is poisoned."

The gathering of an intermediate deity doesn't necessarily mean only intermediates are present; lower deities from such families who are growing also attend. Trained, these can become intermediates and maybe heads of their families. So, every single life relates to a family's survival.

When talking about poisoned dishes, the immediate suspicion fell on Li Zhentong.

"Head of the Li Family, how do you explain this?"

The Liu Family Patriarch stepped forward first; weren't they gracious to attend a banquet hosted by the Li Family Head, only to find poisoned food — did the Li Family Head want to poison everyone else?

"Yes, are you intending to poison all intermediates and leave only your family?"

The objections grew louder, almost overwhelming Li Zhentong.

"Take the body for examination and a thorough investigation. Find out who is truly behind this."

Everyone was watching; Li Zhentong couldn't defend himself at all.

Explaining only increased suspicion; better to keep silent and wait for the truth to satisfy everyone.

Tang Rao, being clever, slipped away during the banquet chaos to a lakeside spot he found pleasant, snacking on the lavish food he had swiped.

"If only there were a boat to drift around on the lake here, it would be perfect."

Tang Rao wasn't satisfied with the current situation, yet little did he know that even the current was a great luxury to him.

"I thought you were going to escape, turns out you're so relaxed."

Tang Rao almost choked to death on a big chicken leg.

The voice approached slowly behind him. Whether blessing or curse, he couldn't avoid it. Tang Rao turned around, still with the chicken leg in his mouth.

"Buddy, want a chicken leg?"

The newcomer seemed friendly; Tang Rao recalled seeing him at the banquet. How did this guy come after him?

"I was the only one who saw you poison earlier, don't worry, I won't tell."

The man took the chicken leg from Tang Rao's hand.

If he'd been a moment slower, Tang Rao would have snatched it back.

"You saw me poisoning earlier? How embarrassing."

The man just smiled; it had been a while since he saw someone as interesting as Tang Rao.

"I'm Leng Pengfei."

The man didn't pursue the poisoning act, instead introducing himself to Tang Rao.

"Hi, I'm Tang Rao."

Leng Pengfei quickly finished off the chicken leg, then glanced at Tang Rao's hands.

"That's it, the chicken legs were swiped just now, and there were only two."

This time, Leng Pengfei truly found Tang Rao amusing.

"Li Zhentong isn't someone to mess with; if he finds out about your antics, your life could be at risk."

Well no kidding?

Tang Rao was fully aware of how serious the situation was.

"It's fine, as long as no one else saw it, I'm safe."

His poison was tasteless and colorless, so no matter Li Zhentong's prowess, he wouldn't find out.
