The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1377 - 1376: Kindness Mistaken for Malice

Zhang Kexin's chest hurt from anger, even the insult Tang Rao had just directed at her felt more bearable in comparison.Because at that time, there was An Sheng, and she had to think about saving An Sheng's life. Never did Zhang Kexin expect that when An Sheng woke up, he wouldn't thank her nor ask about what happened earlier. Instead, his monotonous and pale tone was filled with accusations against her.

"Nothing owed to each other? Ke Xin, take back what you just said. I can pretend nothing ever happened between you two. I am just angry at this kind of man. Who is he to sully you? Only I can protect you, only I am worthy of you. Ke Xin, believe me, that was just me showing how much I care about you."

An Sheng couldn't accept that Zhang Kexin was the first to sever the relationship with him. He had put in so much effort to pursue her.

Even if he couldn't be with her, he wanted to take advantage of her before saying goodbye.

"Your name is An Sheng, right? Why do I feel that your presence doesn't bring me any peace?"

While An Sheng was still pleading with Zhang Kexin, Tang Rao couldn't stand this melodramatic act and interrupted the ongoing drama.

"Matters between Ke Xin and me aren't for an outsider like you to interfere with. After I finish explaining with Ke Xin, we will settle the matter of you kissing her."

This is the scholarly-looking man? To Tang Rao, An Sheng seemed like a street thug.

Zhang Kexin, this busty little girl, actually liked this type of aggressive character.

Even Tang Rao, who always considered himself a bad boy, couldn't stand An Sheng's ugly expressions.

"Hey, heavens, I'm your savior, buddy. To demand payment, what's wrong with me kissing her? We're all adults, mutually consenting. At the most, I can be responsible for her and propose. After saving your life, I got intimate with my Ke Xin. It's none of your business."

Tang Rao's tone wasn't manly at all; he was imitating the way An Sheng spoke.

"Tang Rao, you~"

An Sheng pointed at Tang Rao's nose, and if it weren't for Zhang Kexin's quick interception, An Sheng would have thrown a punch at Tang Rao.

"Do you have to be so ungrateful?"

An Sheng missed his punch, but Tang Rao struck first, aiming at An Sheng's proud nose.

The nose collapsed completely, causing An Sheng so much pain that he couldn't speak.

"Tang Rao, you can't hit An Sheng!"

Can't hit him? Tang Rao had lived over thirty years and, aside from his parents, had never met someone he couldn't hit.

"I've hit him already. Ke Xin, have you ever seen a fancy way of fighting? Want me to demonstrate for you?"

There is a kind of fighting style that Tang Rao had only seen in movies, where Stephen Chow quickly transformed Autumn fragrance into a beauty. He always wanted to try it but lacked the opportunity to find someone to practice on, and An Sheng seemed like a perfect target.

"No, you can't keep hitting him. If An Sheng gets in trouble, the An Family's wrath will be too much for even the Zhang Family to quell."

The An Family's wrath is too much for the Zhang Family to quell?

Tang Rao had never heard of any An Family, and who knew what remarkable things this An Family had.

"Come on, continue, go ahead and kill me if you have the guts."

Previously, An Sheng still had some fear of Tang Rao, worrying about his heavy hand. He thought of scaring Tang Rao with the An Family's name, fearing it might backfire. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kexin inadvertently exposed An Sheng's background, which worked much better than him boasting himself.

Alas, my temper!

He had encountered many who brought it upon themselves, but he had never seen someone like An Sheng who seemed to seek a beating.

"I really can beat you to death."

Crackle crackle, that was the sound of Tang Rao's joints moving. Any cultivator could achieve this Realm. Tang Rao was different. His bones made crackling sounds that formed a melody as if playing a song filled with curses.

Zhang Kexin was a bit anxious. Had she known An Sheng's attitude would change so much before and after kissing Tang Rao, she wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to persuade Tang Rao to save An Sheng out of a sense of obligation.

Though Tang Rao was a bit of a scoundrel, he at least was fair and had positive values. An Sheng was different; he appeared refined, but inside he reeked of rotten scum.

"An Sheng, Tang Rao, today's trouble started because of me. Blame me for all the wrongs; you had no grudge against each other."

Between the two men, there was a brewing storm. If Zhang Kexin didn't step up to wake them up, a fight was inevitable.

"You're right, speaking of which, I am still a good person. I saved this fool's life. Not only does he fail to recognize kindness, but he also wants to attack me. Little girl, you say if he dies at my Kao Shan Sect, we're all in the same boat. We can say that this fool was too severely injured, and I'm powerless to save him. Do you think people outside would believe me?"

Does Tang Rao want to kill An Sheng at the Kao Shan Sect?

He has the capability, and Zhang Kexin never doubted it.

Anyone her grandfather favored definitely had exceptional skills.

"Tang Rao, is there no room for negotiation? If An Sheng chooses to reconcile, can you let him go?"

The An Family and the Zhang Family had been allies for many years. Originally, saving An Sheng's life was a good thing, but if it ended up costing him his life, it would be a big mess.

An Sheng was just at the late stage of the mid-Godhood realm. His current strength relied entirely on his family's deep resources, with many celestial materials, Spirit Pills, and elixirs invested in him, but the result was merely—negligible.

For someone like An Sheng, who was born with a good life but contributed nothing to society, getting rid of him sooner would be a contribution to society.

"Zhang Kexin, I don't need your sympathy. Are you truly foolish because of me or do you have something you want from me, which is why you're pleading for me to stay alive?"

Even at this point, Zhang Kexin had never believed that An Sheng had the ability to protect her.

Even though tensions were high and they hadn't yet started fighting, Zhang Kexin was already begging Tang Rao to spare An Sheng's life. If she didn't trust An Sheng, why save him when he was being so bothersome?

Both Zhang Kexin and Tang Rao seemed ready to confront each other. An Sheng impulsively lifted the veil, laying everything bare.

Tang Rao's small courtyard had indeed become lively.

The two who could have become lovers were not together out of a vague romantic feeling. Tang Rao thought Zhang Kexin had begged him to save An Sheng out of deep emotional ties, but from An Sheng's words, it seemed Zhang Kexin was after something from him.

Zhang Kexin felt wronged again. She didn't expect her good intentions to be considered worthless.
