The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Rao Linger believed that as long as she worked a little harder and slowly got closer to Tang Rao, one day Tang Rao's prejudice against her would disappear. Gradually, he would accept Rao Linger, fall in love with her, and in the end, Rao Linger would proudly reject Tang Rao and kick him aside.

Did you expect Rao Linger to sincerely fall in love with Tang Rao? Dream on. If love in this world were that valuable, there wouldn't be so many people doing despicable things in its name.

"You'd better do as you say, and you'd better stay here in Zijing City for cultivation, living a widow's life. Don't regret your words today."

Tang Rao's resolve was even firmer than Rao Linger's. He wasn't someone who fancied any woman, nor someone who liked to cling to others. Rao Linger was destined not to be his type.

"Lao Geng, find someone to arrange a place for her to stay. Remember, keep her far from where I live. I don't want anyone thinking about me all the time."

Tang Rao's words were harsh. However, given the awkward relationship and the delicate feelings, no matter how unpleasant his words were, Rao Linger had to endure them. At worst, she could pretend Tang Rao's words were nothing but hot air.

Geng Bucuo and Cha Xiangzi burst into laughter internally. They always knew Tang Rao had a vibrant love life and used to envy him. If asked before, they would almost always express envy towards Tang Rao. Now, they didn't envy him because dealing with a persistent woman like Rao Linger was seen as a sweet burden to envy.

"I heard Tang Rao call you Lao Geng. You must be good friends, right? Good buddies?"

Rao Linger couldn't get a hold of Tang Rao, so she immediately switched tactics and targeted Tang Rao's buddies as soon as he left.

Geng Bucuo had a sense of unease the moment Rao Linger spoke.

"I'm just the boss's subordinate. I know nothing, so don't ask me anything. I wouldn't say anything anyway."

Though Geng Bucuo might not be the quickest thinker ordinarily, he was dependable at crucial moments.

Perhaps Tang Rao had anticipated Geng Bucuo's discretion, which is why he was trusted with such an honorable and arduous task.

"You subordinates sure are loyal. It's disappointing not to get any answers from you."

For the first time, Rao Linger viewed an island outside Central Island with admiration. She didn't expect to find someone more reliable on the Northern Island than those on Central Island.

"I didn't mean it that way, nor was I desperate to find out anything. I genuinely admire your kind of person. Tang Rao is lucky to have a subordinate like you."

Besides saying Tang Rao was lucky, what else could Rao Linger say? Could she possibly admit she was unlucky to encounter such a stubborn person right away, one who wouldn't loosen up or reveal any information?

For Tang Rao, it was an invaluable good fortune, but for Tang Rao, a good thing quickly turned bad.

"You're too kind!" Even with the praise, Geng Bucuo remained modest and didn't take it to heart. "Miss, do you think this place suits your taste?"

Geng Bucuo remembered who lived where and which places were vacant even better than Tang Rao. It's no wonder Cha Xiangzi was with him in that place, and Tang Rao assigned this honorable and arduous task directly to him.

"It's alright, the environment's quite nice, completely different from our style on Central Island. I really like this style."

Rao Linger pushed the door open, entering a place filled with birdsong and floral fragrance. Upon closer listening, even insects and birds could be heard chirping, offering a distinct taste from Central Island's typically luxurious decor.

"To be honest, I quite like it too."

Geng Bucuo wondered why, as a big burly fellow, he felt the need to have a conversation with Rao Linger.

"Lao Geng, thank you."

At this time, Rao Linger's mind was entirely on Tang Rao, not interested in wasting time chatting with Geng Bucuo.

And that's for the best, as Geng Bucuo wasn't fond of such atmospheres. He found an excuse and quickly exited the place where Rao Linger temporarily resided.

"Boss, I've settled her in. I didn't reveal anything to her. You have to trust I'll always be loyal to you."

Geng Bucuo reported to Tang Rao in Illusion City just after stepping out.

In reality, he didn't have to do that because if Tang Rao didn't trust him, he wouldn't have given him such an important role.

"I don't know if it's because I've become more handsome, but all these young girls seem to prefer my type. My peach blossom fortune is turning into a peach blossom disaster."

Isn't this a blatant boast?

Geng Bucuo somewhat regretted reporting to Tang Rao. Had he known it would come to this, he'd rather have bought a rice ball to stuff Tang Rao's mouth.

"Hearing you say that, I want to punch you."

This was the last thing Geng Bucuo said to Tang Rao. As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Rao ended their conversation.

What good is there talking with a big man? As soon as Tang Rao returned, he had already arranged for Bei Lin to bathe and wait for him in the room.

Such a lovely time, yet Geng Bucuo's presence seemed disruptive to Tang Rao.

"Tang Rao, you seemed distracted just now. Did someone contact you?"

Seeing Tang Rao's displeased expression, even a fool like Bei Lin could guess that someone in Illusion City had messaged him.

"Actually, it's nothing much, just a young girl insisting on following me. I firmly rejected her, but she wouldn't leave. I just had Lao Geng arrange for her to stay in a relatively secluded place for now. When she comes around, she'll naturally leave. Young girls these days treat love like a game; there's no sincerity in it."

Bei Lin was his woman now, and he had no reason to lie to her.

"You have a lot of girls pursuing you. Don't you usually just accept them all? Why is this time different?"

Bei Lin had grown used to new women joining Tang Rao's harem at any time. The fact that he was able to remain composed and even sternly refuse a woman's advances was astonishing to her.

"This time, it's truly different. She's different from your sisters. She's from Central Island!"

Judging by Tang Rao's expression, it seemed he had some unspoken concerns about people from Central Island.

What's so special about Central Island? Do they eat people there?

Or are women from Central Island not considered human?

Bei Lin voiced her thoughts to Tang Rao, and he quickly corrected her misunderstanding, saying, "It's not about her as a person, but her status. I can engage with any woman, just not her. I don't want to climb social ladders or invite criticism in my lifetime."
