The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1278 - 1277: What Do You Want

"The problem is, I can't beat this old lady."The Supreme Power wanted to find a subtle way to tell Tang Rao the truth, to make him stop, but unfortunately, Tang Rao wasn't keen on listening. If he insisted, the result would definitely be that both of them died at the hands of the old lady.

"Damn! Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Tang Rao quickly retracted his outstretched hand. Now he's figured it out, so what if he gets laughed at? There's no point in fighting a battle he can't win.

"Even if I said it earlier, you wouldn't have listened."

The Supreme Power didn't think he had done anything wrong.

"Kid, do you still want to fight to the end with this old lady? The person inside you is much smarter than you."

The old lady's eyes were sharp; she knew perfectly well about the Supreme Power's soul within Tang Rao's body.

"Thanks for the compliment."

The Supreme Power began to control Tang Rao's body to converse with the old lady.

"Elder, I was impulsive just now. I apologize, but as for this child, I won't give him to you for upbringing, even if it costs my life. Is there room for negotiation between us?"

No, this wasn't Tang Rao's intention. If it were up to Tang Rao, he would have started fighting. Honestly, no matter how many years of cultivation, his temperament was not as good or as steady as the Supreme Power's.

"I've decided on the child."

Every word the old lady said reflected her deep desire to control the child. The conditions the Supreme Power offered were generous enough, but she simply didn't take the bait.

"No room for negotiation?"

Tang Rao glanced at Tang Xiaobai and then at the old lady, saying, "Really no negotiation?"

The old lady shook her head, directly pulling the child into her arms. Tang Xiaobai looked at the old lady and giggled, completely unaware of the danger looming over him.

"Tang Xiaobai, I'm your father, you ungrateful little punk."

Who exactly was Tang Xiaobai's father, if he could smile at his enemy?

"Look, is this your son? He doesn't seem to miss you at all, does he?"

The old lady mocked Tang Rao. So what if it was his child? His child didn't seem attached to him at all.

As Tang Rao's gaze dimmed and he couldn't think of a solution, Tang Xiaobai suddenly turned to smile at him. With his newly grown teeth, he made a smacking sound and softly called out, "Dad."

That "Dad" might just have been a sound from Tang Xiaobai's lips, or perhaps it was Tang Xiaobai truly finding his conscience and calling out to comfort Tang Rao.

Hearing the word "Dad," Tang Rao felt as if his entire body were set ablaze, burning with excitement. Even in his wildest nights with beautiful women, he had never felt this thrilled.

"Old lady, I'm giving you one more chance. Hand over Tang Xiaobai to me, or die."

This should have been the old lady's words to Tang Rao, but the world had changed, and Tang Rao dared to speak to Tang Xiaobai like this.

"Then show me how I'm supposed to die."

The old lady stood confrontationally with Tang Rao, placing a hand on Tang Xiaobai's head. With just a bit more pressure, her long nails would pierce into his skull. The child was so small, everyone knew what would happen if things went on like this.

This old lady was insane.

In a fit of urgency, Tang Rao summoned the Taotie, and his body was instantly surrounded by Taotie Armor. The burst of golden light blinded the old lady momentarily, presenting a perfect opportunity.

Tang Rao snatched Tang Xiaobai from the old lady's grasp and, without thinking, tossed him into the Little World before continuing to confront the old lady.

The opponent was a woman known for her infamous poisons. Tang Rao could fight her head-on, but he was also wary of her poisons.

"Tang Rao, use your Taotie Hand; it's the antidote for all poisons."

The Supreme Power had some knowledge of ancient texts. He had read about Taotie and knew how powerful someone with the Ancient Taotie Bloodline could become. After Tang Rao used the Taotie Hand last time, the Supreme Power had been eager to see it again.

Last time, he dealt with a nobody, but this time, he faced a true expert.

Would the Taotie Hand be intimidating to experts?

That remained a mystery for now.

"Taotie Hand?"

The old lady glanced at Tang Rao. She hadn't realized before that Tang Rao, like Tang Xiaobai, also possessed the Ancient Taotie Bloodline.

"Stop!"

Before Tang Rao could call a halt, the old lady was the first to do so!

"Young man, are you really of the Ancient Taotie Bloodline?"

This lady's questions were odd. If I'm not the Ancient Taotie Bloodline, are you? If you are, transform into your Taotie form and let me see.

"Could it be you're scared? If you beg me now, I might show you some mercy; later, it won't be so simple."

Such arrogance, and it's really Tang Rao?

Though frustrated with Tang Rao's temper, the old lady stopped fighting over such trivial matters.

"Since you're also of the Taotie Bloodline, the child doesn't have to be my disciple; you could be instead."

Ridiculous!

What has filled the old lady's mind, thinking everyone wants to be a disciple? Not Tang Rao. He's too rebellious to listen to anything the old lady says.

"I'll have to discuss this with the Heavenly Dao. After all, he also wants me as his disciple. If I become yours, wouldn't you be on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao?"

The Heavenly Dao?

Does Tang Rao even dare to say such things?

Heaven knows, despite all the wicked deeds Old Lady Hua did in her life, she never underestimated the Heavenly Dao, nor did she treat it like Tang Rao did, as if it were nothing.

She only hoped that the Heavenly Dao didn't hear what was just said.

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you think the Heavenly Dao must agree just because you want to be a disciple? If you agree to my request, I can forgive and sincerely teach you, imparting all my life's knowledge to you."

Who cares for the old lady's secret skills?

"What's in it for me to learn from you? I don't want to be a top expert, nor do I want to learn about poisons. If you force me to learn, there better be some benefits."

Initially, Tang Rao wanted to refuse outright, but then he thought, since the old lady tried to harm Tang Xiaobai and almost killed him, it's not his style to let this slide without demanding something in return.

"What do you want? If I have it, we can discuss it."

Well now.

After discovering Tang Rao's Taotie Bloodline, her attitude towards him changed completely.

"What do you have that could interest me?"

How should I know what valuable things you have? If what I ask for isn't your most treasured, then I stand to lose.

"Interest you?"

The old lady wasn't sure if what she had would please Tang Rao.

"I have some things here; take a look."
