Chapter 1607 - 1606: Divine Stone Crossing
"There's no relationship between us, and besides, everyone here is free. Is it really right for you to force people like this?"Was all the civility you pretended to have back then eaten by dogs?
If she didn't want to maintain a ladylike image in front of Tang Rao, Bei Lin might have hurled even harsher words.
"What do you mean by forcing people, young lady? We're at our wit's end too. Sometimes, when considering you, we have to think about ourselves too, don't you agree? After all, everyone gets sick at times, and when you're ill, you still seek doctors far and wide to get treated. We're just like you, so let's understand each other. If you want to leave, we won't stop you, as long as Divine Doctor Wen stays here."
These people, trapped in the land of peach blossoms and oblivious to the outside world, thought what they just said was perfectly reasonable. They only considered what they needed, never whether the other party was willing. Such transactions, where things are just taken, made Tang Rao furious.
"So you're determined to keep Divine Doctor Wen in the land of peach blossoms? No matter who stands here to negotiate with you, this is your decision, am I right?"
Tang Rao is a good man. He always uses diplomacy before force. He stands by his reasoning first, and if anyone causes trouble, he has no choice but to teach them a lesson, albeit reluctantly.
"That's right, even if the Heavenly King or a Blue Sun Immortal comes, we'll still keep Divine Doctor Wen, unless you can bring an even better Divine Doctor to come and stay here!"
It seemed there was no room for negotiation!
Just as Tang Rao was about to charge out and teach these ignorant bumpkins a lesson, he was held back by Li Qi, who was born with divine strength, preventing him from rushing out.
"Boss, those people outside are just like me, or even stronger. If you rush out now, you'll surely get hurt. In my opinion, we should calm down first and wait for a suitable opportunity to act, rather than risking everything for something minor."
Li Qi was usually not that smart, having the same bold and reckless nature as Tang Rao. Sometimes he fell into traps without realizing it, but since following Tang Rao, he had become much more sensible than before.
Judging by Li Qi's estimate of these people blessed with innate divine strength, if they, more than a dozen, ganged up on Tang Rao alone, even Tang Rao, at the peak of the mid-stage Upper God, wouldn't fare well.
"I understand."
Tang Rao pulled his fist back, knowing full well the other party had ill intentions, yet having no room to resist. Such a proud Tang Rao suddenly felt a bit defeated.
His two women, his newly recruited underling, these three people, he surprisingly couldn't even protect.
It seemed that being only at the peak of the mid-stage Upper God allowed him to run rampant in Tingzhou, but he, who hadn't ventured beyond the Northern Island, was nothing once out of Tingzhou, let alone thinking about unifying the Divine Realm.
Perhaps he had overestimated himself, giving himself too high a position, with too narrow a vision, which gave him the illusion of being number one in the world.
The series of recent setbacks made Tang Rao realize he wasn't the strongest, and he was far from it!
"Tang Rao, are you okay? Maybe you should go first. You know I'm in the land of peach blossoms, and you know I'll be fine here, so don't drag everyone down because of me."
Wen Jinjin said those words, but the affection and reluctance in her eyes towards Tang Rao were evident, even to a blind person. How could Tang Rao leave at this moment? He indeed wanted to flee, but he couldn't leave Wen Jinjin here alone.
"If I leave, you'll come with me too."
The corner of Tang Rao's mouth suddenly curved into a mischievous smile that no one understood.
"What do you think their expressions would be if we suddenly vanished here?"
Suddenly vanished?
There was no Teleportation Array here; vanishing out of nowhere was impossible. Tang Rao was a god, not a magician. In this rule-laden Divine Realm, listening to Tang Rao now felt like listening to a joke.
The two women unconditionally believed what Tang Rao said, while Li Qi had a momentary doubt, and the people outside suddenly burst into laughter.
They wouldn't come to the door to tear their faces off unless they were sure enough.
Suddenly vanish, playing mysterious, or considering himself to be almighty?
"Why don't you disappear and show us? This is the land of peach blossoms, not outside. Even if you vanish, we can still find you. As long as you're in the land of peach blossoms, there's nowhere you can call the shots."
What arrogance.
Tang Rao saw through it; as long as they were in the land of peach blossoms, they could always find Tang Rao and his group. But if they weren't there, they couldn't do anything to them, right?
With this in mind, Tang Rao telepathically instructed the three behind him, asking Wen Jinjin to hold Bei Lin, and then Tang Rao, with Li Qi also holding onto Tang Rao's clothes. Once the three were ready, Tang Rao produced a Divine Stone and silently recited a spell. Suddenly, a beam of light descended, and through the light, the Divine Stone transported Tang Rao and the others to an unknown place.
The Divine Stone could take Tang Rao anywhere; only he knew the spell, as the stone had recognized him as its master.
The people standing alive just moments ago suddenly vanished without even moving as a beam of light took them away. Could it be that the Heavenly Dao is angry?
The Heavenly Dao had previously proclaimed that as long as the people of the land of peach blossoms followed the rules and didn't overstep, everything on this land would be decided by them, and the Heavenly Dao wouldn't intervene. But given this sudden situation, it seemed they had offended the Heavenly Dao, whose wrath might have prompted taking their Divine Doctor away.
After Tang Rao and his companions left, those blessed with divine strength exchanged bewildered glances with their companions, uncertain whether to stay and wait for the Divine Doctor Wen or to return to their respective homes and mothers.
Li Qi, upon being teleported to another place, still felt dizzy. As he surveyed his surroundings, there was nothing familiar in sight.
The boss had said they'd suddenly vanish, which Li Qi thought to be a mere joke. Later, he realized Tang Rao truly possessed that ability. What he did always surpassed the 'expectations' Li Qi had of Tang Rao.
"Bei Lin, where are we?"
Wen Jinjin woke up later than Bei Lin. When she awoke, she found herself on a soft bed, and there, beside the bed, waiting for her to wake up, was Bei Lin.
Wen Jinjin's body was frail, and simply teleporting from one place to another made her faint. Fortunately, the teleportation distance wasn't far; otherwise, Wen Jinjin might have been overwhelmed, and who knows what kind of trouble would have ensued.
"This is the Beidao Island Master Mansion. I never told you that I'm actually the daughter of the Island Master of the Northern Island. This is my room."
