The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 989: Substitute


"What did you bring?"

Li Shengxuan's eyes were still red. When Tang Rao returned, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and forced a smile.

"Take a sniff."

Tang Rao took out a bottle of Dior perfume from the Space Ring, a scent recommended by Lei Li to Tang Rao.

Li Shengxuan leaned in for a whiff, and the fragrance was indeed overwhelming.

"Such a wonderful fragrance, I've never smelled this before. Is it really for me?"

The scent immediately lifted Li Shengxuan's gloomy mood.

The smell was delightful, and the bottle was pretty, capturing Li Shengxuan's heart with just one small bottle of perfume.

"Yes, it's really for you. Use it every day, I like how you smell with it."

Tang Rao's flirting skills were unrivaled.

Just as he was about to continue speaking with Li Shengxuan, an emergency message from Illusion City needed Tang Rao to attend to.

"Sect Master, I've got the body, but the Divine Sense is still intact. What do you plan to do with it?"

Someone who had never shown prominence in the sect suddenly appeared in Illusion City, bowing low like Tang Rao's servant.

"Put the body into the Space Ring and bring it to me immediately."

Tang Rao only said this much before leaving Illusion City.

He couldn't allow Li Shengxuan to become suspicious and misunderstand Tang Rao.

"Benefactor, do you really not blame me for severely injuring Xiao Yun? It's all my fault, had I not acted impulsively, this wouldn't have happened."

Sheng Xuan took all the blame upon herself.

Tang Rao feared Li Shengxuan thinking this way, but the worrisome situation happened nonetheless.

"I came to tell you, Xiao Yun is already dead."

What?

Dead?

Tang Rao thought Sheng Xuan would easily accept this outcome, but unexpectedly, as soon as she heard of Xiao Yun's death, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with Xiao Yun. It was Xiao Yun's family, out of greed, who killed my family. Xiao Yun was so young, she couldn't even participate in a fight."

Moreover, Xiao Yun liked Tang Rao so much that in front of him, she would hate Tang Rao for her entire life due to her untimely death.

"Don't overthink. I will help you avenge your deep hatred. The dead are dead, the living should live well."

The issue with Xiao Yun was not yet resolved. If Li Shengxuan couldn't let go, Tang Rao felt like his head might explode.

"Sheng Xuan, I'm so tired, I've been exhausted for so long, I want to find a place to rest."

Just as Tang Rao finished speaking, someone from outside came looking for Tang Rao.

It must be the person delivering the Space Ring.

Tang Rao opened the door, snatched the Space Ring, and didn't let the person utter a word before shutting the door, not allowing the man to look inside.

"Hurry up and leave. It's best to appear less in front of others, keep a low profile."

Tang Rao only dared to send a message to the man while inside Illusion City.

"Who was that just now? Didn't even catch a glimpse before they left. Weren't you going to sleep? Why not stay here to rest."

Li Shengxuan's warm invitation left Tang Rao with no reason to refuse.

With a beauty in his arms, of course, Tang Rao was willing to stay in Li Shengxuan's fragrant room.

"Then I'll sleep for a bit. You should rest too, and when we wake up, I'll take you for a big meal."

Both agreed, and Li Shengxuan obediently slept beside Tang Rao, while Tang Rao took the Space Ring and entered his portable palace.

Fortunately, he had asked Chen Tuan to completely sever his connection with Illusion City before; otherwise, Tang Rao would not dare to take such bold actions.

"Tang Rao, are you crazy? Doing such outrageous things, aren't you afraid your Grandmaster will be displeased?"

Xiao Huo Shen hopped onto Tang Rao's shoulder, he witnessed Tang Rao extracting Xiao Yun's corpse from the Space Ring.

According to what Xiao Huo Shen knew about Tang Rao, Tang Rao would never do such things.

"My Grandmaster has no discontent. Mind your own business."

Tang Rao made a hush gesture to Xiao Huo Shen, then used Immortal Energy to restore Xiao Yun's Divine Sense.

"Tang Rao, I'm going to kill you!"

Xiao Yun's Divine Sense had just awakened and harbored murderous intent toward Tang Rao.

It's a pity Tang Rao painstakingly saved Xiao Yun's life.

"You are being truly ungrateful—I saved you, and yet you want to kill me. Do you have any conscience?"

Tang Rao gave Xiao Yun a side-eye, thinking Xiao Yun hadn't yet realized her true identity.

This was the Land of Immortals, on Tang Rao's turf. If Tang Rao wanted, he could freeze an area, and slow down the time in a place at will.

For Xiao Yun to harm Tang Rao, the chance was very slim.

"You killed my sister, and I will kill you to leave you with no place for burial."

By the heaven's truth, it was Chen Tuan who killed Liu Mingyue, not Tang Rao.

Even if Liu Mingyue died, it was of her own doing. Clearly, Chen Tuan had no feelings for Liu Mingyue, and yet Liu Mingyue got drunk and pregnant to threaten Chen Tuan.

Even then, when things went south, she tried to kill Chen Tuan while he was unguarded. If Liu Mingyue did not die, should it be Chen Tuan instead?

"Xiao Yun, you're not the real Xiao Yun, are you? I should have thought of this when my Grandmaster saved you."

Upon her true identity being guessed, Xiao Yun started to go berserk, seeking the quickest way to kill Tang Rao.

Tang Rao immediately froze the small area in time, preventing Xiao Yun's Divine Sense from modifying freely.

"Corpse Emperor, if my guess is correct, you killed Xiao Yun when you were on your turf!"

The Corpse Emperor, under Xiao Yun's guise, attempted to kill Tang Rao amidst the chaos. Unfortunately, he focused too much on acting rather than unleashing his full strength, allowing Tang Rao to narrowly escape.

"Only now did you realize it, isn't it a bit too late?"

Hehehehe.

The Corpse Emperor gave his signature laugh.

However, why must the phrase 'only now do you remember, isn't it too late?' be repeated every time?

Tang Rao didn't feel that he always realized things too late.

"Not too late, not too late. Before you can kill me, I'll kill you. That would be my victory, don't you think?"

Now, Tang Rao held no more hatred toward Xiao Yun.

After all, it was the Corpse Emperor's meddling.

Xiao Yun and Yun Xi were pitiful, targeted for their bodies by schemers. These people all attempted to use the close persons around Tang Rao as a decoy to kill Tang Rao.

Thankfully, Tang Rao's fate was strong, allowing him to escape narrowly every time.

"You're the fourth Corpse Soldier I've killed, but I believe I can take your master's life without needing to kill all ten of them!"

Tang Rao had waited for this day for too long.

Back then, he didn't think of directly taking the Corpse Emperor's life, but now the desire was overwhelming. He greatly wished to decapitate him and destroy all the bones.

"Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!"

Boom, bang!

Unexpectedly for Tang Rao, the Corpse Soldier's Divine Sense could self-destruct.

He wanted to drag Tang Rao down with him in death. The portable palace sustained serious damage from the explosion, and Tang Rao, realizing the problem, immediately exited the palace. Even so, he ended up coughing out blood.
