The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1149 - 1148: Find a Companion

Tang Rao never expected it."It's been too long, I can't quite remember, but I think I saw that phenomenon in a book before. Want me to go back and help you look it up?"

Can you actually help look it up?

Tang Rao was intrigued.

"Sure, I'd really appreciate it. This matter is extremely important to me. If you find anything, please let me know immediately."

What is the one thing Tang Rao wanted to do most upon coming to the Divine Realm?

Go back!

Whether it's returning to Blue Star, the Seventy-two Domains of the Ninth Realm, or the Land of Immortals, they all beat the Divine Realm. If he really couldn't leave, he'd fight until no one could bully him. But if he could leave, Tang Rao would definitely choose to go.

"It's a small matter, I'll go look for it now and bring it to you as soon as I find it."

Liu Tao was easygoing; whatever Tang Rao said, he would agree to it, always giving Tang Rao plenty of face.

As Liu Tao was leaving, Tang Rao handed him a Detoxification Pill: "I don't know which little bastard drugged you, but you've been poisoned. Take this Detoxification Pill first."

Poisoned?

Liu Tao didn't even know when he got poisoned. When Tang Rao mentioned it, Liu Tao was quite terrified.

"I didn't even know I was poisoned; thank you so much, Tang Rao brother."

Liu Tao expressed his gratitude profusely before taking his leave of Tang Rao.

Zhang Wang saw the guest out and came upstairs to find Tang Rao, who was drinking tea.

"Boss."

He still had one last thing to consult Tang Rao about.

"Hmm?"

Tang Rao responded, unsure what Zhang Wang wanted.

"Boss, the list from those ten people, please have a look."

Even though Zhang Wang had picked out ten lists, they still needed Tang Rao's review.

This list was exactly what Tang Rao needed.

With these ten lists, he effectively had his most primitive network connections. In the future, when he wanted to do something or get some insider information, he wouldn't have to scratch his head.

"Just give me the list, you can head out."

Previously, Wen Lei had asked for a general introduction to the Divine Realm; many things written there were also listed on these lists.

"The power of ten people can actually shake the Divine Realm, impressive."

The talents under Tang Rao as the shopkeeper were really efficient.

He memorized all the useful talents from the families and only then left the shop after committing them to memory.

It was cold outside, so Tang Rao put on a down jacket to stay warm.

He didn't go to the Li Family but instead lodged at the Kao Shan Sect.

Li Qi Qi was at the Kao Shan Sect, so why would he go to the Tingzhou Li Family?

"Tang Rao, you're back?"

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Li Qi Qi thought it was an enemy. She had been so worried these days that she almost developed a persecution complex, but when she saw from the window that it was Tang Rao, she finally relaxed.

"Yeah, how was being home today?"

The Kao Shan Sect was now Li Qi Qi's home. When Tang Rao wasn't around, Li Qi Qi had to learn to take care of herself.

"Everyone here is very good to me. Don't worry, it's just that over time, I kind of miss you."

Li Qi Qi never hesitated to express her longing for Tang Rao.

"Missing me is normal; I'm handsome and charming. Everyone, from three and four-year-olds to seven or eight-year-old grannies, bends over backward for me. They call me the 'young matron harvester' — Tang Rao, the male god."

Several keywords Li Qi Qi didn't quite understand, but it didn't stop her from getting the gist of Tang Rao's comment.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think you're very handsome too. Otherwise, I wouldn't miss you this much."

What kind of logic is that?

Tang Rao felt like a bucket of cold water had just been thrown over his heart.

"So if I wasn't handsome, you wouldn't miss me?"

This logic, Tang Rao couldn't accept.

"I'd still miss you, just not to the point of forgetting to eat."

Li Qi Qi sheepishly admitted.

Indeed, today she missed Tang Rao so much that she even lost her appetite for food.

"How can you miss me so much you forget to eat? How can I possibly be at ease with that?"

Tang Rao said this, but in his heart, he felt quite sweet.

"Ease or not, I just don't want to leave your side."

Li Qi Qi hugged Tang Rao's arm, swinging it back and forth, quelling any anger Tang Rao might have had.

"Tang Rao, am I to stay endlessly at the Kao Shan Sect? There's no one I know here, and you have your own matters to attend to. I'm like a flower here, withering away."

Li Qi Qi's words were more pitiful than anyone else's.

"No, in a while, I'll bring you a little friend, someone to chat and perform music with, okay?"

If he tried a bit harder, he might be able to get on good terms with Qin Fen, who could introduce his sister to Tang Rao, then Tang Rao could make Qin Fen's sister his girlfriend, and Li Qi Qi would have a companion.

One must say, this idea of Tang Rao's was truly brilliant.

"Great, that would be the best."

Li Qi Qi never dreamed that when Tang Rao spoke of finding her someone, it meant finding her a sister.

If she had known, she would have at least advised Tang Rao.

"Tang Rao, since I left these days, do you think Father has noticed I'm missing?"

Despite everything, Li Qi Qi still had some attachment to the Tingzhou Li Family. Even though Li Zhentong was so harsh on her, she would occasionally wonder if he'd have a change of heart and sometimes miss her.

"No, he's busily deploying plans, and nothing can go wrong with this matter."

Tang Rao knew what the tournament meant for Li Zhentong.

Besides signifying the family's success or failure, it also concerned whether Li Zhentong could keep his life.

Victory or defeat, everyone knows this principle; Li Zhentong, all the more so.

"Even though I know Father won't miss me, I still hope he'll sometimes remember he has a daughter like me."

Li Qi Qi gazed through the door at the bright moon in the sky.

Others have a happy family, but Li Qi Qi does not. Her father always preferred another woman's son.

The son that Li Zhentong even ordered to be killed.

"In the future, he will be; in the future, your father will be good to you. Trust me."

As long as Tang Rao maintained the Li Family's status, Li Zhentong would do whatever Tang Rao said. How could Li Zhentong dare to treat Li Qi Qi poorly when Tang Rao held her in such high regard?

"I trust you."

Li Qi Qi had long said that she would believe anything Tang Rao said, past, present, and future.

"Rest early. Tomorrow I'll take you to see the market."

Tang Rao had only taken Li Qi Qi out once, only to have her teased by Wen Lei in public. He felt he owed her and had always wanted to make it up to her by taking her out more. No time like the present, he decided on tomorrow.
