The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1209 - 1208: Red Envelope Snatching Feature

Fortunately, the carpenters and craftsmen of the Divine Realm strive for excellence in everything they do, aiming to create the most perfect creations. Tang Rao couldn't find any faults even after picking at it for so long."Master Tang, are you satisfied with this work?"

The head carpenter had been following Tang Rao for a long stretch of road. Tang Rao walked in front, while the head carpenter walked behind. Whenever Tang Rao encountered a problem, the head carpenter could quickly solve it for him.

"Satisfied, better than I imagined, no, better than anything I've seen before, even better than what's on my blueprint."

Tang Rao thought the architecture of the Forbidden City was already perfection, yet he didn't expect to see an even more perfect masterpiece.

"Thank you for the praise, Master Tang. When you gave us the blueprints, we were astonished by how good they were. If we didn't execute them well, it would be a waste of such a great design."

At their level, they no longer thought about earning money or passing the time. They focused on creating masterpieces and becoming famous.

Every masterpiece would become their achievement, a credit they could boast about in the future.

"I'm relieved to leave the restoration to you. I'll come for a review when it's finished."

After witnessing the carpenters' skills for the first time, Tang Rao truly saw their capabilities, and there was nothing more to negotiate or argue about for the later work.

"Master Tang, I have a suggestion. You see, the format of the main palace is too standard. If placed in a spacious area, it's fine, but here it's not suitable. How about I add a Jade Basin in front of the main hall, which can ward off evil and attract wealth?"

They were all people from the Divine Realm, especially those who specialized in architecture. They were more knowledgeable about superstitious things than others.

"Sure, sounds good."

Tang Rao had no objections. When someone who knows more than him offered him advice, it was naturally for his benefit.

"Thank you for trusting me, Master Tang."

The head carpenter's impression of Tang Rao improved significantly due to his trust.

"Tang Rao, I almost forgot something."

Li Zhentong tracked down Tang Rao from where he was living, spending so much time just to give Tang Rao a piece of advice.

"Father-in-law, what's the matter?"

Now, Li Zhentong and Tang Rao were like family, and Li Zhentong always had Tang Rao's best interests at heart.

"You've now crossed paths with the Black Demon. He will definitely come after you again. This is a token of my regard for you; it might save your life at a critical moment."

Tang Rao took the item Li Zhentong handed over, an antique-looking box containing several bamboo tubes, each with something unique inside.

"The Black Demon actually has a weakness; he fears the sound of the Spirit Bamboo Flute. However, there are very few Spirit Bamboo left; you might not be able to find any."

The Black Demon fears the sound of the Spirit Bamboo Flute?

This was quite a shocking discovery for Tang Rao.

"So the Black Demon is actually afraid of this thing."

Tang Rao took out the Spirit Bamboo to play with. The texture of these bamboos was delicate, and the flutes looked more like jade flutes. There were only so many of them, and if they broke, that would be it.

"This is your future lifesaver. There are only this many; each Spirit Bamboo Flute can only be used once and once used up, it's gone."

Li Zhentong reminded Tang Rao.

"Thank you, father-in-law, you've really saved my life."

Tang Rao accepted the items, clutching Li Zhentong's hand, so excited that he was almost at a loss for words.

"You keep saying that we're family, so let's not speak of familial ties. What I have will all be yours in the future."

Only now did Tang Rao truly understand what it meant to have an elder at home, like having a treasure. Having an elder at home was akin to possessing a wealth of treasures.

"Father-in-law, I'll first head back to the Kao Shan Sect to check. In a while, I will bring all my brothers from the Land of Immortals up here. By then, the Kao Shan Sect will grow stronger, and you can live prestigiously everywhere."

Tang Rao first made this beautiful promise to Li Zhentong, so that he would have something to look forward to in the future.

"What prestige? I just want to live a peaceful life. That's enough for this lifetime."

It seems that the death of Li Qi Qi had dealt a significant blow to Li Zhentong.

Li Zhentong didn't even dare to think about the future now.

"Father-in-law, you're still so young, you could find a companion and have another child, don't you think?"

Phooey.

Li Zhentong blushed from Tang Rao's teasing.

"I'm already this old, what daughter am I having, what companion am I finding? It's not appropriate."

If he continued this conversation with Tang Rao, who knows what superstitious or mystical notions Tang Rao would bring up.

"Father-in-law, don't leave. What am I supposed to do if you go?"

Tang Rao was still trying to talk to Li Zhentong, but Li Zhentong ignored Tang Rao's words, thinking nothing of them.

"I'm saying this for your own good; you're not too old to find... find someone."

Tang Rao didn't finish advising before Li Zhentong's figure was already gone.

Tang Rao returned to the Kao Shan Sect with the treasure.

With the aura hovering above it, he slept soundly at night.

"Brothers, I'm sure you all know what happened at the Kao Shan Sect. Now you don't need to worry; the Black Demon faction will never be able to enter. At night, you can play or sleep with complete peace of mind."

Tang Rao returned very late, and the lights were still bright in every room. He could tell it was due to concerns about being killed in their sleep, like Li Qi Qi.

Dying in battle is not scary; what's scary is dying without dignity.

Tang Rao sent a notice to his brothers in the Illusion City group; they all believed in his words.

As soon as the message came out, at least half of the room lights were turned off.

Tang Rao chuckled at himself.

He felt that his skills weren't even on par with his brothers', yet he was chosen to play the role of the main god, increasingly feeling inadequate.

"Boss, do you even know who the Black Demon is? We've never heard of such a powerful figure, but we didn't expect Big Bro to find a way to deal with the Black Demon. You're a role model for us, your brothers."

The Illusion City was buzzing with chatter. Tang Rao was praised, and he was so happy that he awarded Purple Crystals directly to the Illusion City. This was a feature Tang Rao recently developed, currently exclusive to the Kao Shan Sect brothers.

Whoever issues Purple Crystals can allow those who grab them to exchange them with the corresponding person. Since the system isn't fully developed yet, Tang Rao mentioned to his brothers that he'd use the functionality himself for now and would roll it out to them later on.

"Boss, I snatched a hundred Purple Crystals! Wow, I can't make that much money in a year. Is this Purple Crystal real?"

Tang Rao was always generous; he sent out five hundred Purple Crystals, and among the dozens of people who tried to grab them, one person managed to snatch a hundred.

"Of course it's valid, private message me to collect it yourself."

A mere hundred Purple Crystals wasn't much to Tang Rao.

"Boss, what about those of us who got one or two Purple Crystals?"
