The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

When she was about to leave, she talked about this farewell dinner as if it was simple. Only when the moment arrived did she realize that the so-called parting was just an excuse for her to prolong Tang Rao's stay.

What if she actually goes back to have a meal with Tang Rao, and afterward, Tang Rao proposes to leave? What should she do?

"Ah, why did I come up with such a stupid idea? Is there something wrong with me?"

Rao Linger fiercely slapped her head.

Ever since she decided with Zhou Zhou to leave alone, Tang Rao had been following her closely, watching her every move, though she hadn't noticed Tang Rao always behind her.

"If I had acted like Ba Wang earlier and just stopped him from leaving, surely he wouldn't dare to go. I must have been out of my mind to consider Tang Rao's feelings!"

Rao Linger, oh Rao Linger, couldn't you have kept your thoughts to yourself? Why did you have to say them out loud for Tang Rao to hear?

Are you digging a pit for yourself or trying to stir up resentment? Just say it.

Tang Rao knew long ago that Rao Linger wouldn't just let him go easily. There's a difference between guessing and hearing it directly from her.

"Still thinking of leaving?"

This place is quite a distance from Rao Linger's home. To clear her mind, she purposely chose a more secluded area, which, though remote, boasted nice scenery.

Assuming there wouldn't be any ghosts blocking the path.

"I definitely want to leave. You roadblock ghosts want to stop me? Who is your master who sent you here?"

A lot of people doesn't guarantee that their aura will be stronger than hers.

Rao Linger comforted herself, not considering that several of them were experts, while she was just one girl, unsure if she could defeat them.

But even if she couldn't win, her aura had to completely overshadow theirs.

"Doesn't matter whose master we serve, you just need to know someone paid us to take your life. It's that simple."

If she wanted to ask more, she'd need to take it up with King of Hell.

It's a good thing Rao Linger didn't pursue further, else they would have come back with that cold reply.

"This is simple? You want my life and speak so confidently. Who gave you the courage?"

Rao Linger said this, while her feet were already in motion. If any opportunity arose, she had to think about escaping.

"You talk too much; everyone, finish the task early and report back early!"

The man signaled to the others.

These roadside ghosts who made a living from bounty money charged toward Rao Linger en masse as soon as the leader gave the command.

"Whoever kills her gets more Purple Crystal. Your effort determines your earnings. If you hesitate and someone else gets the job, don't blame us."

When discussing profit, those who had been slightly reluctant instantly became spirited, even more energetic than the ones charging ahead initially.

Rao Linger was terrified.

Previously, even if someone caused trouble, it was just a few women, and it happened at Lin Zhen's place.

Rao Linger didn't have to worry about those women harming her. She surely wouldn't be the one losing out.

But now it's not certain who would suffer the worst loss.

Without Lin Zhen, Zhou Zhou, or anyone she knew and could seek help from, it was unbearably despairing.

"I don't know you people. Don't come over. Please don't come over, or I'll scream!"

How does it matter to them whether Rao Linger shouts?

They only needed to execute their duty, and once done, they could go back to divvy up the money, whether more or fewer deaths concerned them little.

"Go ahead, scream, sweetie. We love feisty ones even more. The Golden Master only asked us to deal with you, but didn't say anything about needing to refrain from life's natural actions with you."

Several men rubbed their hands, eyeing Rao Linger with ill intentions, implying that if she didn't consent, they would force her.

Seeing them approaching, Rao Linger shut her eyes tight from fear. Her heart tightened, and she cried out, "Tang Rao, help! Tang Rao, save me!"

Not only Rao Linger but Tang Rao also couldn't understand why she would call his name.

Got exposed? Clearly impossible.

Tang Rao's skills weren't that poor.

Apart from exposure, what other reason could there be?

Before Tang Rao could think further, Rao Linger was frightened enough to squat down on the ground, hugging her head as she started crying.

However arrogant she might usually be, when truly scared, she remained just a little girl, timid as her instinct.

The one she called during that critical moment was surely the one Rao Linger trusted most.

Tang Rao and Rao Linger hadn't known each other long, yet she trusted him so much.

Though he initially intended to watch quietly, since Rao Linger held Tang Rao in such regard, he couldn't possibly let her down.

"Lucky little girl!"

With that, Tang Rao threw a punch, knocking down the man closest to Rao Linger, causing a domino effect on the next few bulky men.

Being robust, their movements weren't the most agile, and this fall made them grunt in pain, taking a while before they managed to get back on their feet.

"Tang Rao? It's really Tang Rao! Why are you here?"

Rao Linger had many questions for Tang Rao, but the sudden turn of events didn't allow her time to organize her speech before Tang Rao started tangling with the roadblock ghosts.

"Hold your tongue first. After dealing with them, we'll talk."

These roadblock ghosts might be a big challenge for Rao Linger, but for Tang Rao, they were totally trivial.

After all, Lu Yao wasn't much of a formidable figure. With her abilities, how much trouble could she possibly cause? At best, some minor mischief.

Tang Rao could counter the ghosts' moves with his eyes closed, not taking much time at all.

Soon, the ghosts became literal ghosts.

Although he didn't like killing, if he didn't eliminate them today, they'd seize every chance for revenge.

In such circumstances, the best approach was to show no mercy and leave no threat behind.

"Alright, can you relax now?"

Tang Rao's pat on Rao Linger's shoulder startled her.

"Are they all dead? They won't come back to life or try to kill me again, right?"

Rao Linger's first question was if they would kill her again, showing no concern for whether Tang Rao got hurt while fighting.
