The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1118 - 1117: Green Arrow

"Your attitude is great, but I feel you're not a good person. Actually, I just gave you some Silence Medicine before, but what you took now is Poison. In about one incense stick time, you'll feel an excruciating pain in your gut, and eventually, you'll rot and die. It's quite an excellent life experience; if possible, I suggest you give it a try."Tang Rao noticed that the air around here smelled strange. Taking a closer look, the puddle on the ground—what else could it be if not Brother Lei's urine?

"Kid, weren't you quite mouthy back then, wanted to fight me, so how come you've wet your pants now?"

Tang Rao's face turned red in frustration, trying hard to maintain a serious expression.

"I didn't mean to. I just can't speak properly, which offended you, Brother Lei. I hope you'll be the bigger person and forgive me this time."

It was hard to tell if the medicine had kicked in or if Tang Rao's words had really frightened Brother Lei, but he truly felt like bugs were gnawing on him, and he could even feel his flesh beginning to rot.

"Brother, one incense stick time will pass quickly. I'm my father's only son, and I can't die. Please, on behalf of my unintentional actions, give me a chance to turn over a new leaf."

Just as the words left his mouth, Brother Lei spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Ah, I'm dying. I can't die. If I die, my dad will avenge me. You may defeat me, but you can't defeat my dad."

Brother Lei did have a point.

Being able to defeat the son doesn't mean Tang Rao can defeat the father. If by any chance Brother Lei's father decides to go against Tang Rao desperately, Li Zhentong likely won't assist Tang Rao.

A solution is needed.

"Kid, considering you are so sincere, it's not impossible to spare your life. But what benefit is there for me? You harassed my wife, threatened and intimidated me, wasting so many Elixir Pills—this can't just end like this, can it?"

Brother Lei knew Tang Rao would make an exorbitant demand, but he figured it would be worth it; his father would certainly give Tang Rao something in exchange for his son's life; no problem.

"What do you want, my family's Purple Crystal? Or our Heavenly Treasure, cultivation secret manuals? As long as I can bring them out, they're all yours."

Brother Lei's parent knew that he committed such heinous acts outside; the elder would be furious if faced with that.

"Forget Heavenly Treasures and Purple Crystal; just persuade your dad to ensure that the Tingzhou Li Family has a spot in the Middle Divine World contest."

Ah?

Brother Lei couldn't believe that Tang Rao proposed such a condition.

This matter? Brother Lei knew well enough it was quite impossible.

The competition for a spot in the Middle Divine World was meant to squeeze out Li Zhentong's family out; hasn't Tang Rao realized?

"Brother, that's impossible. My dad said if we expel Li Zhentong from the Middle Divine Family, he could obtain many Purple Crystals. Such a big matter—even killing me can't change that."

Brother Lei was anxious; he only overheard his dad discussing this matter. If not for near death, he wouldn't have dared to say it to Tang Rao.

"There's something like that, huh? Then forget it, I'll handle it myself. As long as I floor everyone, eventually the Li Family will stay in its Middle Divine Family position; what do you think?"

So it appeared Tang Rao wasn't giving the antidote.

"Let's go, take you to Chaotic Tomb Mound. Otherwise, if you die, I still have to drag your rotten corpse there."

Brother Lei was already powerless, and hearing Tang Rao repeatedly talk about death and Chaotic Tomb Mound frightened him out of his wits.

"Boss, I can think of a solution. I'll say it, I'll say it."

This person, unless pushed to a certain realm, won't reveal anything useful, just like Brother Lei, he's spilled it all out.

"My dad has a roster in hand—a roster listing Middle Divine contestants. Others were notified about the list, only Tingzhou Li Family hasn't been informed. Maybe that list will be of use to you."

Brother Lei had casually learned about this roster; how the contestants are arranged is up to him—the Purple Crystal decides, of course.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Holding onto such an important thing until New Year?"

With that, Tang Rao kicked Brother Lei on the butt, leaving Brother Lei howling in pain.

"It's all my fault; it's all my fault. Brother, please don't hit me anymore, okay?"

If Brother Lei knew just a roster would save him from a beating, he would've agreed to steal it long ago. It's tough to guess what this master prefers.

"Eat this; it'll temporarily mitigate the Poison in you but won't cure it. When you provide the real list, I'll give you the antidote."

Tang Rao handed over a small green object to Brother Lei. Having been tricked into ingesting Poison twice, Brother Lei lacked the courage to swallow it.

Screw it; not eating leads to certain death—better odds with eating, right?

Brother Lei received the green object and swallowed it whole.

"Idiot, Green Arrow is meant to chew—a waste gulping it down."

Tang Rao mumbled to himself, careful not to let Brother Lei hear.

"How long do you think I'll give you to complete this task? A few days? Anyway, the longer this Poison acts, the deeper the toxicity in your body, and eventually, even divine beings can't save you."

Brother Lei nodded frantically: "I know, I know. I only need one day; it's simple."

He seemed unwilling to waste even a minute, disappearing instantly after taking the antidote Tang Rao offered.

Tang Rao returned to Li Qi Qi's side to check her injuries. Fortunately, the external wounds had already crusted and peeled off, and the internal injuries were no longer problematic.

To save Tang Rao's life, Li Qi Qi truly was willing to risk her life.

"Tang Rao, was that person let go?"

Seeing Tang Rao arrive, Li Qi Qi still felt lingering fear.

Her mind was filled with images of Tang Rao being beaten by those men.

"As if I'd let him die that easily; at least make him contribute before dying!"

Tang Rao has said more than once that anyone scheming against his woman's life won't have an easy time; he says so and does so.

"Thank goodness you're okay."

Li Qi Qi gently touched Tang Rao's face, speaking tenderly: "I heard from others, my dad treated me like a bet. Don't send me away, alright? Can you protect Li Family's Middle Divine status?"

Li Qi Qi found out so soon?

"Of course I can; just look at who Tang Rao's dad is. A mere Middle Divine status—the breeze. Stop worrying."

Saying this, Tang Rao wanted to slap himself. What did he mean by not worrying? He's so anxious his hair's almost turning white!

"Mm, I believe in you."
