The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"You beat someone up and don't apologize, and then you go poke at him again?"

Chen Jingyi had seen thick-skinned people before, but never anyone whose skin was thicker than Tang Rao's.

"That's where you're wrong. I'm not provoking him, I'm giving him a lesson in the education of love. Let a guy walking down the crooked path learn to step back onto the right track—how noble is that?"

"Oh!"

Anyway, the one who got beaten was someone Chen Jingyi didn't like. If one beating could make Gu Yi completely give up on being with Chen Jingyi, then this beating was totally worth it. Not only would Chen Jingyi not blame Tang Rao, she'd probably bow to him and say thank you.

"You few useless wastes, aren't you always bragging about how good you are at fighting? This is what you call 'good at fighting'?"

Every single one of them was lying on the ground. The injuries weren't fatal, but every hit landed on the most painful spots. Not a single one of the people who came to make trouble got away unscathed.

"You're just some guy from an outer island and you think you can scare my local boys? You dared to hit me, just you wait. I'll call my family over right now. Let's see how you keep acting all high and mighty on East Island then!"

The first batch of people who came had all been taken down by Tang Rao. If he had any brains at all, Gu Yi should've left early right then, pretend nothing had happened. Not many people saw him getting his ass kicked in this corner anyway. If he wanted to turn over a new leaf, it was easy—he just had to walk out that door.

Tang Rao had already given Gu Yi a chance. Since Gu Yi didn't pick that option, then sorry, Tang Rao didn't mind waiting. Let Gu Yi bring people back and watch Tang Rao's next brilliant performance, why not?

"Please hurry up and bring people over to deal with me, I'm just soooo scared."

Hurry up and finish this, then Tang Rao could hurry up and bring Chen Jingyi over to his Zijing City as a guest.

As Tang Rao's future wife, from this moment on, Tang Rao should treat Chen Jingyi just as well as he treated Sheng Xuan and the others. Only that could be called fair and just treatment to all the women around him.

"Being scared is good, I was just worried you wouldn't be!"

Gu Yi looked full of confidence, but the moment Illusion City opened, his face instantly turned ugly.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Calling his face "ugly" was being polite. To put it nicely, his expression looked no different from someone who had just eaten shit.

"N-nothing!"

Nothing? Then why were his jaw muscles clenched that tight when his men asked him?

"Hey, when are your people coming? I gotta take my esteemed guest to North Island. Time is limited, I don't have the spare time to keep playing with you!"

"You got lucky this time. I'll let you off the hook for now. We're leaving!"

Didn't Gu Yi just say he was calling people to beat up Tang Rao? Not even a minute later, his attitude did a complete 180. The contrast was so huge that even Tang Rao found it unbelievable.

Surprise was surprise, but getting to beat fewer people was still accumulating virtue. Tang Rao had just done a good deed; in the future he might even rack up some extra karmic rewards.

He didn't bother tangling with these punks any further. After Gu Yi dragged his few crippled men out, Tang Rao followed them out the door as well.

"Boss, why'd we just leave like that? Didn't you see how cocky that brat looked? Give me one more chance and I swear I'll wipe him out completely, see how long he keeps acting all arrogant!"

Look at that face, it was already beaten almost out of shape, and he still dared to flap his lips. If Gu Yi's hand didn't hurt, he would've slapped him a few more times just to let the kid get a taste.

"Shut up! Today is really cursed. My Illusion City actually can't be used!"

There was something even more bizarre that Gu Yi didn't tell his underlings. He was worried that if they found out, they'd look down on him even more. Some things could be casually talked about, but this particular weird incident was something Gu Yi swore he'd never mention for the rest of his life.

"How is that possible? Ours all work fine, only the boss's doesn't? When we get the time, we'll go find that punk who sold it to you and make him compensate you with a new one. What a piece of junk, never has issues normally, only screws up at the critical moment!"

The underlings all went along with whatever Gu Yi said. Whatever he liked, they praised; whatever he wanted to do, they followed. As long as they could score points in front of Gu Yi, even if he told them to bark like dogs or eat shit like dogs, they'd be more than willing.

With his underlings building him so many steps to step down on, Gu Yi finally felt a little better inside.

"What do you think was up with Gu Yi just now? Did you mess with something?"

Chen Jingyi had never seen Gu Yi eat dirt like that before. After they'd been forcibly pushed together, this was the first time.

"You think I'm some immortal who can do everything?"

Tang Rao snapped at Chen Jingyi.

If it really had been his doing, no matter how much praise people gave him, he could easily take it. The key was that it wasn't him. If those compliments came his way, he'd actually feel a little guilty.

"Really? Then Gu Yi suddenly leaving, you're not even a bit suspicious there might be something fishy going on?"

Turns out even a Buddha-like woman had her gossipy side. Tang Rao felt a bit proud; he felt like he understood Chen Jingyi just a tiny bit better than Gu Yi did.

"What's it got to do with me? If he wants to find people, let him. I, Tang Rao, have never been afraid of anyone!"

His tone was a bit grandiose, but every word was true—he really had never been afraid of anyone.

No way. Gu Yi's words might be a bit over the top, and he might be a bit extreme as a person, but he did have a sense of measure when he did things. He never did anything he wasn't sure of. She'd vaguely heard him mutter something about Illusion City having a problem just now—could that be the real reason he left?

If it was an issue with Illusion City, then it really had nothing to do with Tang Rao. Once Tang Rao left, he was just one person; how could he possibly control the entire Illusion City?

Everything Chen Jingyi analyzed up to this point was very logical and quite convincing. The one thing she didn't think of was that Illusion City itself belonged to Tang Rao. There was no such thing as "can he control it or not." If he wanted to control it, it would be easier than anything.

The words Chen Jingyi accidentally overheard, Tang Rao had heard them too. With one mind doing two things, while chatting with Chen Jingyi he had also slipped into Illusion City. For things he didn't know, there was one person who definitely did—Yan Wei.

"I thought your curiosity would've toned down a bit compared to before, but it turns out you're still exactly the same."

Before Tang Rao could even say anything, Yan Wei had already started talking to him. Judging from his tone, he didn't seem very satisfied with Tang Rao's behavior.

"Cut the crap. You know exactly what I want to ask. Tell me honestly what you just did."

He treated Yan Wei like he was interrogating a prisoner.

"It's on the big screen. Just watch it yourself."

Yan Wei pointed at the giant screen. Whatever had happened just now was clearly displayed there.

"'Touch Tang Rao and I'll kill your whole family'?"

What the hell was this? Bright red background, black characters, looking more bizarre than anything.

Even with Tang Rao mentally prepared, after seeing that, he almost dropped what he was holding from the shock. Not to mention Gu Yi, who had just logged into Illusion City and got hit in the face with those words—it was hard to imagine how complicated his feelings must have been.
