The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1571 - 1570: Fools Don't Speak Nonsense

Yan Lin's entire face turned pale.The more unknown something is, the more it can stir panic in the heart.

"It's nothing serious, just a little medicine to make you slowly become stupid, not deadly."

How could Tang Rao dare to tell Yan Lin the truth so righteously?

Fortunately, Yan Lin was conscious for a short time. Even if he knew the truth, he was helpless. Soon, those clear eyes gradually became turbid, and a mess was created in that smart brain.

Tang Rao didn't tell Yan Lin in the last moment that the muddle would accompany him for a lifetime.

"Hahaha, who are you, hahaha, and who are you?"

In no more than the time of burning an incense stick, Yan Lin completely forgot his identity, forgot the sins he had committed, squatting alone on the ground, pointing at ants and spiders, asking each one who they were. He asked one; not hearing an answer, he would kill one. Around Yan Lin, a large area of land was empty, and it was hard to find even a spider or an ant.

Poor little creatures, with such short lives, yet they suffer catastrophic disasters at the hands of a madman.

"What to do with this madman, however you brought him in, just throw him out the same way. Otherwise, I will still hold you accountable for this."

Auntie is Auntie, at such a time yet still squabbling with Tang Rao, isn't it just a madman? With Bai Xiaotong's current ability, it shouldn't be hard to throw him out, should it?

"Just a lowly ant that can only scrape by for the rest of its life, and Auntie is this scared? What if someone dies in Wenrou Xiang someday, or you encounter murder and arson, wouldn't you be scared to death here?"

It would be fine if Tang Rao hadn't said it; once he spoke, sweat covered her forehead.

Bai Xiaotong was always content with the status quo, Wenrou Xiang was her way of making a living, apart from diligently selling fake wine for big profits, she never thought about the future or unexpected events.

"You shut your mouth, kid. Wenrou Xiang is peaceful, but if there really is a murder or arson one day, I bet it would be your doing, Tang Rao. Do you think you could run away?"

She hit the nail on the head. Ordinary people come to Wenrou Xiang just to seek pleasure, drink a little wine to relieve worry, and when has Wenrou Xiang's trouble ever been unrelated to Tang Rao? From the last forced closure to Yan Lin's appearance today, it seems every time it becomes a mess inside, it's because of Tang Rao.

"Auntie, we're family; why make things so clear? I'll get this troublemaker out first, and you won't say goodbye to us."

Beiyuan and the others were still entertaining guests on the second floor; Tang Rao's purpose for coming this time was not yet fulfilled; capturing Yan Lin was one thing, and as soon as he threw him out, while Auntie was not paying attention, he would sneak up to the second floor.

He understood Bai Xiaotong's temper and knew the ones eating and drinking upstairs were Bai Xiaotong's Money Gods. If they were disturbed before they were satisfied, Bai Xiaotong would calculate it by their consumption of Purple Crystals, and if that didn't meet her expectations, the one to take the blame would still be Tang Rao.

No, after the Yan Lin incident, if Bai Xiaotong found Tang Rao sneaking in again, she might get angry and just throw Tang Rao out, which wasn't impossible.

Yan Lin was thrown by Tang Rao to an abandoned temple three hundred miles away, the temple was poorly ventilated, a bit damp. Seeing no one around, he left a blanket and some dry rations enough for Yan Lin to survive two or three days. As he left, he conscientiously didn't take Yan Lin's Space Ring, guessing there might be life-saving things like Purple Crystals inside, but as for more rare valuables, there were few or even none.

"I'm scared, I'm scared."

Seeing Tang Rao leaving, Yan Lin crawled toward him, clutching his leg, refusing to be left alone in this place.

"I think you're not brain-damaged but have regressed to the state of a three-year-old child. Had I known, I should have increased the dose, to make you devolve to the extent not even a three-year-old can compare."

Yan Lin had only mid-level strength of a deity, self-preservation among lower-level individuals was not an issue, but if he incited some high-level ones, survival would be heaven's blessing.

Instead of bringing back such a burden as Yan Lin, after kicking him aside, Tang Rao quickly returned to Wenrou Xiang.

Didn't use the front door, didn't use the back door, he climbed through the window.

Like Spiderman, he adhered to the outside wall, scrambling up to the second floor; with a leap, when his feet touched the ground, only then did Tang Rao take a breath of relief. Even as Wenrou Xiang's behind-the-scenes shopkeeper, he had to sneak in; that was truly pathetic.

"Beiyuan, congratulations on raising such an outstanding son. We've known each other for years, but it's our first time dining together at the same table, indeed it's a unique fate."

Outside the largest private room on the second floor, separated by one door, Tang Rao could hear clearly what was being said inside.

An unfamiliar voice, unfamiliar people; Beiyuan, a dignified Northern Island Master, should've invited guests to the Island Master Mansion, why choose a place like Wenrou Xiang, bound to be misunderstood?

"Chen, my dear friend, why are you being so formal? We've known each other for years and are both Island Masters. With trade and occasional friction between us, seldom can we calmly find a place to reconcile. It's thanks to your East Island folks' broad minds proposing peaceful coexistence and enhanced trade that we have the opportunity to sit here and chat happily. Don't you think so?"

Praising Beiyuan's son for being exceptional, Beiyuan deflected to talk about the interests of both islands.

"Our East Island doesn't compare to West Island. Over there it's vast but sparsely populated, self-sufficiency isn't impossible. But you see, what if we remain stagnant and refuse to communicate with the outside world? By the time South and West Islands develop, and we're still regressing, how could I, Chen Jingtian, face my ancestors!"

Oh, East Island Master, Chen Jingtian?

Tang Rao clicked his tongue; he hadn't expected Chen Jingtian to be so eloquent. Why didn't he describe East Island as some feudal society or berate himself entirely?

Knowing North Island trades with other islands, even business with Central Island, East Island Master still claimed North Island was stagnant; either East Island wasn't well-informed or deliberately sought commonality to further contact with North Island.

And Northern Island Master Beiyuan was poised, nodding no matter what East Island said, focusing on drinking.

To the extent that the East Island Master couldn't help but feel elated.
