She, wanting Tang Rao's life, wouldn't dare even in her dreams. Who would believe it?
"Rao Ling Er, you mad woman, why have you come to the Northern Island? Is the Northern Island Master a vegetarian or did he accept some favor from you? I'm warning you, I'm not someone who responds well to threats. No matter what you say, I won't open the door, absolutely not! I'm telling you, you'd better give up on this idea!"
Tang Rao pressed his back against the door, genuinely fearing Ling Er might recklessly bang into the door and force her way inside. The first time the patrolling guards saw Tang Rao behave like this, they could barely hold back their laughter.
"Boss, you can't even handle a woman? Should we step in and take care of her for you?"
When the gatekeepers mentioned "take care of her," they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Shoo, shoo, you rookies know nothing, do you even know who the woman outside is? You think you can just deal with her? If I tell you her identity, you might be scared to death."
Tang Rao wasn't just bluffing. He was well-versed in everything related to the Central Island, where he'd learned not to value anything too much. But these people weren't important. The key point was, Central Island had always been a mysterious place, and there were many who hoped to go there on a whim. Revealing Rao Ling Er's identity would surely scare them into behaving properly.
"Who? A woman, of course, but one that even our boss fears. That's interesting. Why don't you open the door and let us see what kind of woman has the ability to chase after you?"
If she's capable, they could be matched up quickly. If not, forget it, such a woman isn't suitable for Tang Rao.
"Central Island's official status doesn't matter; no matter how high it is, I don't care. The key is the woman outside is his daughter, his precious child. I may not mind the big official, but this woman is dangerous, so I have to be cautious, regardless of what you single dogs will never understand."
Thunder strike!
They meant well trying to help Tang Rao in advancing the relationship with the girl, but instead, Tang Rao gave them a sudden jab.
If only they knew earlier, they wouldn't have meddled in this matter.
"Tang Rao, if you're a man, open the door. Hiding inside like a turtle, what kind of behavior is that? If you don't open it, I'll live stream in Illusion City and ruin your image."
"Live stream? Go ahead, do it. I'll look down on you if you don't. Better do it now, or you'll find no one around to send you gifts; that would be so bleak."
Rao Ling Er initially seemed confident, but Tang Rao casually turned the tables on her, avoiding being stuck with the blame.
"What do you want, ultimately? Besides eating, you can play, whatever you want. I'm willing to do anything as long as you open the door so I can see you again, okay?"
Rao Ling Er, for Tang Rao, was willing to humble herself utterly, supporting him in everything, regardless of right or wrong.
Unfortunately, such a woman isn't suitable to take home. With complex family dynamics and differing backgrounds, Tang Rao showing her himself serves no purpose, since seeing doesn't equate to choosing Tang Rao as her partner.
Isn't it unreasonable? Even if people see Rao Ling Er, they'd declare her wrong.
"Fierce woman, this is my house, don't think you can threaten me. I'm not afraid of anyone. If you're capable, wait outside. You have time, so do I, as long as you're willing. If you want to tarnish my reputation, feel free; it's already not great, a little extra won't matter."
A few words from Tang Rao enraged Rao Ling Er to the point of fury, making her suspect it wasn't even Tang Rao speaking.
Such shameless words, spoken so shamelessly, hardly resemble the Tang Rao she used to know.
"Alright, boss, you're something, you're impressive."
Cha Xiangzi flew to the wall, listening to Tang Rao and watching Rao Ling Er's reaction. After taking it all in, he gave Tang Rao a major thumbs up.
"Boss, why don't you take a moment to see the girl if you have time? She's crying, a lot of people are gathering outside to watch the drama. Letting her in might reduce the gossip about our Kao Shan Sect, right?"
Cha Xiangzi couldn't stand seeing any woman crying. The prettier the girl, the more his heart softened.
"Cha Xiangzi, you want to experience life on East Island too?"
Tang Rao threatened.
The last time he ordered Shu Yi and the others to go to East Island, he scared Cha Xiangzi and the rest quite a bit. Since then, not just Shu Yi and Yang Zhi, but even Cha Xiangzi and Geng Bucuo, had become much more compliant.
It's just that the East Island environment is terrible, they don't want to suffer there.
Unexpectedly, their soft sides are Tang Rao's leverage, he uses it to threaten them whenever they speak out of turn, and it works every time.
"Boss, don't joke around like this, I've followed you for years, always considering you. I've never had a divided loyalty. It's just seeing the pitiful girl, my heart went out to her, that's why I suggested letting her in. Rest assured, I'll never do it again. I'll stick by your side, whatever you say goes, all other women are mere illusions, no need to worry."
Cha Xiangzi is practically the king of sycophancy, his words can turn a dire situation into something lively.
"Stop sweet-talking me, I don't want to hear your nonsense."
Tang Rao walked over and punched Cha Xiangzi's shoulder, causing him to tear up from the pain.
"Boss, could you go easy? Hearts are delicate, especially my frail bones compared to women's, give me some pity too, alright?"
Pity?
Tang Rao almost threw up his last night's meal.
"Fine, you want me to pity you?"
With a murderous gaze, Tang Rao suggested: "How about I send you out, consider it pity, does that work?"
