The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1171 - 1170: Rack Your Brains

No matter what Tang Rao was thinking, Zhang Wang had to voice all his concerns."If you can't even keep a handgun secure, what will you do if I give you something more valuable in the future?"

Tang Rao's question stumped Zhang Wang.

Zhang Wang used to only deal with small businesses, none of the items were particularly valuable. He was busy auctioning off a few Elixir Pills, and now suddenly there's a handgun; is this meant to scare Zhang Wang to death?

"I... I really didn't expect this, but rest assured, Boss, even if I have to risk my life, I will protect this. If I can't, you can hold me accountable."

Is Zhang Wang risking his life just for a gun? That's obviously not acceptable.

"Zhang Wang, I'm really disappointed in you. Do you think a gun is worth more than your life? In crucial moments, you can use the gun to kill those who are trying to rob you. You can also think of other ways. Even when you don't have a gun, you can ditch it to save your life. If you're alive, we can still have guns. If you're not, the gun is gone, and you have nothing."

As Tang Rao said this, Zhang Wang's hand tightened around the gun, accidentally squeezing the trigger. With a bang, the gun emitted a Purple Crystal, and a Purple Crystal bullet suddenly hit a man, who fell to the ground, dropping a bow and arrow by his side as he fell.

Was someone just trying to kill them?

"Boss, I really didn't mean to do that just now. I was just too agitated. The person who got shot, this won't cause any trouble, right?"

This is a city area, and although it's a bit less populated, Zhang Wang always feels there might be trouble.

"This isn't anything good anyway. That guy almost killed the two of us."

Tang Rao could say for sure that if it weren't for Zhang Wang's accidental shot, Tang Rao wouldn't have sensed any killing intent around them. This means the dead guy's skill level must have been higher than Tang Rao's.

"Boss, you mean that this man intended to kill us? Then we killed him, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Of course, there's no problem. If it were an accidental killing of an ordinary person, Zhang Wang and Tang Rao would feel guilty. But if it's someone who wanted to kill them, Zhang Wang thinks it's better to kill such people as soon as possible.

"That's how you should use it. Next time someone tries to snatch your handgun, shoot them like you just did. Right now, I still don't know what level of gods this handgun can kill, but presumably lower ones or mid-level gods aren't a big deal, right?"

He's not too sure.

Tang Rao was also not clear about it. After all, Tang Rao hadn't tried it since acquiring it.

The mid-level god earlier was just unlucky to be caught off guard. Next time—no, there's no next time though for the person who already fell.

"Such great power, so does it mean as long as you have this gun, a lower god can kill a mid-level god?"

Zhang Wang is at an early stage of being a mid-level god. When he was a lower god, he suffered a lot of indignities. If he had this gun back then, would he still be the same now?

He would probably have become a mysterious figure in the whole Divine Realm long ago.

"Don't overthink. Do you think just anyone can afford to use this gun? This gun requires pure Purple Crystals. A single crystal provides limited energy and can't do much on its own. However, with multiple crystals, it's a different story; the more crystals, the greater the energy. Those who can't afford it won't even bother figuring out how it's used; they'd find it too expensive!"

Zhang Wang instantly didn't want to use the handgun anymore.

Although this thing can kill, how much hard-earned money does one shot cost? Tang Rao might not mind, but Zhang Wang does.

"Boss, I'm suddenly not worried about someone stealing the handgun. Even if you gave it away, people without money wouldn't be able to afford to feed the gun. I'm suddenly confident I can protect it."

Tang Rao looked at Zhang Wang with an expression as if watching a fool.

Did he just now figure this out?

"Zhang Wang, you could actually be smarter, otherwise I fear you'll accidentally aim the gun at yourself and shoot yourself one day."

Zhang Wang understood Tang Rao's words and could only smile awkwardly.

What Tang Rao said made sense. If Tang Rao scolded Zhang Wang, it must mean Zhang Wang made a mistake somewhere.

"Boss, I won't do it again in the future."

When Zhang Wang repeatedly assured Tang Rao, Zhang Wang happened to reach the shop's entrance.

"Although Foster Father is a bit extreme, his research on the Star Formation is indeed top-notch. You can ignore his temperament, but remember to go to him whenever you need guidance."

Zhang Wang was afraid Elder Lin would chase Tang Rao too aggressively today, making Tang Rao afraid to meet him in the future.

"Got it, don't worry. I won't have any issues here. If I encounter difficulties, I'll seek him out. At worst, I'll become some messed-up Star Formation master. Becoming a master is easier than finding a wife for me."

Tang Rao might be boasting a bit here, but no matter what he says, Zhang Wang blindly admires Tang Rao.

"Boss, I'm going to put the handgun inside first, then set up some enhanced restrictions in the shop so no one can get close to the gun."

Tang Rao nodded and didn't head inside but went to the Kao Shan Sect to see Li Qi Qi.

"I don't want to eat, take it away."

This was the sentence Li Qi Qi said the most after Tang Rao left.

Every day, just hearing Li Qi Qi say this, the Kao Shan Sect brothers' ears were about to grow calluses.

"Sister-in-law, you should at least eat something. When the boss comes back and sees you've lost weight, we won't be able to account for it. If you eat, you'll feel better, and naturally, the air around you will feel fresher. Isn't that good? When the boss comes back, you can see him. Why be so distant?"

Liu Santang, a grown man, had actually been reduced to coaxing a woman.

"Tang Rao... I don't even know when Tang Rao will come back. I wish he would come back, then forget about me so I can entirely leave his life behind. My illness wouldn't be passed to Tang Rao, but it's too late to say anything now."

Li Qi Qi looked outside the door, but there was no sign of Tang Rao. As she spoke about wanting to forget Tang Rao, she also hoped Tang Rao would return to hold her.

"Sister-in-law, I feel like the boss will return soon. He's definitely busy, so you should have more faith in him."

This, on and on, is still about Tang Rao.

Did Tang Rao's departure leave Li Qi Qi with no will to live?

"Boss?"

Liu San thought he was seeing things. How could it be that just as Liu San mentioned the boss, he showed up? It's not like he was hallucinating, right?

"Yeah, it's me. Haven't seen me in a while; missed me to death?"

Tang Rao entered, ignoring Li Qi Qi who was crying, and instead squatted down beside Liu San, letting him see clearly.

"It's really the boss, no mistake at all. Boss, sister-in-law hasn't eaten for days for you. You must think of something!"

Liu San felt aggrieved. He had already racked his brains trying to make meals for his sister-in-law, hadn't he?
