The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1439 - 1438: He Likes Outstanding Women

"That's a life-saving Nine Revival Pill. To refine such a pill, you at least need to be at the late stage of the High God realm and also a seventh-grade Alchemist. Tang Rao, you must know that the strength of Alchemists in the Divine Realm isn't strong. Those strong enough to reach the late High God realm usually aren't great at Alchemy. This results in powerful Alchemists being as rare as phoenix feathers. Obtaining a high-grade Elixir Pill is as difficult as climbing to the heavens, yet you gave her a Nine Revival Pill. Ah, between you and Ke Xin, I fear it's truly our Zhang Family that owes you."Zhang Yunfei was right; indeed, Zhang Kexin owed Tang Rao.

If it weren't for Tang Rao's ability to refine such elixirs, obtaining the Nine Revival Pill would still be nearly impossible. By offering the elixir, he wasn't sympathizing with a life's demise, but regretting that Zhang Kexin wasn't a bad person. She was just seriously pursuing the love she believed in, which, for her, wasn't wrong.

Zhang Kexin's eyelids moved twice. Her half-open eyes separated her eyelashes, and her pale face began to cough violently. After spitting out a mouthful of black blood, she calmed down.

"Grandfather, why am I still alive?"

That despairing little face showed no fluctuation even upon seeing Zhang Yunfei.

"Even the heavens don't want you dead. Why were you so eager to seek death?"

Seeing Zhang Kexin awake, Zhang Yunfei spoke to her with a heart-wrenching tone.

He thought he almost lost his granddaughter; the feeling of recovering a lost treasure was something others could never understand.

"But right now, my life feels meaningless, Grandfather. I'm afraid I'll trouble you."

The once arrogant woman lay helplessly in Zhang Yunfei's embrace.

Her eyes didn't even have a hint of hope.

"It's not you who's meaningless; it's your father who's meaningless. Do you not realize how precious your life is?"

Tang Rao couldn't help but step out and reproach.

Zhang Yunfei cared about his granddaughter's life, while Tang Rao cared about the elixir in his hand.

It's so valuable, so hard to come by!

He needed to make it clear to Zhang Kexin that if she attempted suicide again, he, even as a High God, wouldn't offer another Nine Revival Pill for her.

Zhang Kexin was stunned. She had just seen Zhang Yunfei and completely overlooked Tang Rao standing by.

To be precise, she hadn't noticed Tang Rao was still present.

Did Tang Rao hear what she said earlier? He must be mocking her, right?

"Grandfather, why is Tang Rao here?"

The person she most wanted yet least wanted to see suddenly appeared and saw Zhang Kexin at her most vulnerable and embarrassed state. Zhang Kexin now felt like dying.

"Why can't I be here?"

Tang Rao retorted. His attitude towards Zhang Kexin was always lukewarm, something Zhang Kexin had grown accustomed to.

Fortunately, Zhang Yunfei stepped in to mediate, swiftly explaining to Zhang Kexin: "Ke Xin, do you know, if it weren't for Tang Rao, you wouldn't be alive. It was Tang Rao who saved you with the Nine Revival Pill. Tang Rao is your lifelong savior now."

A lifelong savior? Did Tang Rao really save her?

Zhang Kexin's eyes, originally sour, now misted over, making the world blur before her.

"Thank you."

As she said these three words, tears spilled from her eyes.

Oh, busty lady, please don't look at me with those eyes any longer. If you keep looking, I'll truly make a mistake. Do you realize what those eyes convey?

It's a path leading people to sin.

Tang Rao shook his head to clear his thoughts.

"If saying thanks were enough, why would people give gifts? I don't have a second pill, so if you think of dying again, think twice."

He unflinchingly reproached Zhang Kexin, who could only listen without daring to talk back.

Being scolded by Tang Rao like that, she could still secretly laugh inside. Being scolded meant Tang Rao cared; offering such a precious elixir meant she wasn't entirely worthless in Tang Rao's eyes.

It felt comforting.

Zhang Kexin's once foggy gaze turned bright again.

"I won't attempt suicide again. Life is too beautiful. Thank you, Tang Rao brother."

Zhang Kexin grinned. Though smiling looked better than crying, Zhang Kexin was an exception.

"Since you're fine, I should leave. Wipe the blood from your mouth, so you don't look like a vampire."

After Tang Rao left, Zhang Kexin hurriedly asked for a copper mirror. In it, her little face was pale, and black blood stained her mouth corners, looking exactly like the vampires Tang Rao described.

Zhang Kexin mournfully looked at Zhang Yunfei: "Grandfather, was I particularly miserable just now? Did I scare Tang Rao brother?"

Zhang Yunfei remained silent; his eyes and expression already acknowledged it all.

"Grandfather, I almost died. Did Tang Rao brother feel distressed? Did you see Tang Rao brother sad?"

Zhang Kexin looked hopefully at Zhang Yunfei, but only silence answered.

She had her answer. It was she, Zhang Kexin, who was too foolish, believing that if she treated Tang Rao well and willingly sacrificed, Tang Rao would be touched. But after so long, she almost gave her life, and Tang Rao wasn't moved at all.

"Ke Xin, grandfather asks you, why do you like Tang Rao? How much do you like him?"

Zhang Kexin looked so despondent that even Zhang Yunfei felt sorry for her.

After being influenced by Tang Rao, Zhang Yunfei sought Zhang Kexin to ask just how much she loved Tang Rao.

If not asked, it would be fine, but upon mentioning her feelings for Tang Rao, Zhang Kexin could talk for days and nights endlessly, wanting to express more.

Saying one less word felt like a diminishment of her love; yet, Tang Rao had done nothing for her. Her obsession with him was consuming, not even knowing the reason herself, making her somewhat dizzy.

"I like him enough to die for him, but even if I like him that much, I still don't exist in his eyes. Tang Rao brother even detests me, so what should I do? If Tang Rao brother hates me so much, will he ignore me in the future?"

Zhang Kexin's tentative yearning made Zhang Yunfei feel distressed.

"Granddaughter, men never like women who constantly annoy them. If you always cling to Tang Rao and lack any skill, do you think Tang Rao will like you? The women around him, each possess exceptional skills and give Tang Rao freedom. Compare yourself to them; who is superior?"

It's certainly Tang Rao's women now, without a doubt.

"See, I didn't even need to say it. Compared to you, his women hold every advantage. But as long as you try and find your own shine, how could Tang Rao not treat you well?"
