The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"If I could choose, would I still want you?"

If Chen Jingtian hadn't been thinking about the bigger picture, he wouldn't have let his daughter follow Tang Rao.

To make this decision, he also went through a significant mental struggle, didn't he?

"Forget it, you better go back and discuss it carefully before coming back. We can't accommodate esteemed guests from East Island here."

Tang Rao needed Chen Jingyi to stay, yet he didn't want her to be forced to stay. He didn't want his women to feel that their man was worthless.

At the very least, he couldn't let Chen Jingyi degrade Tang Rao to nothing in front of so many women, right?

"Tang Rao, what do you mean by this, as if I'm marrying my daughter to you, and you're still not happy?"

Chen Jingtian, bearing great grievance, sent Chen Jingyi to Tang Rao's side, only for Tang Rao to say he didn't welcome them?

"With my temper, do you think you can like my daughter if you want to, and then just disregard her if you don't?"

He swung his fist towards Tang Rao's face, and if it landed, as expected, half of Tang Rao's face would be paralyzed immediately.

However, Tang Rao's skills weren't as weak as Chen Jingtian imagined; he easily blocked the punch.

"When did I ever look down on her? It's obviously your whole family looking down on me, always giving me obstacles and not wanting us to be happy. And now you're turning the tables on me, is that moral?"

If it weren't for thinking about someone else's daughter, Tang Rao could have returned the punch to Chen Jingtian for revenge.

"Chen Jingyi, look at yourself, clearly having no interest in me, yet because of the temptations I offered, you followed me to Kao Shan Sect. Now I've given you everything you wanted, and you regret it. Don't you find yourself hypocritical, being a woman like that?"

When these words reached Chen Jingyi's ears, Tang Rao knew they were the most cruel, but so what? If Chen Jingyi hadn't forced him, would Tang Rao have spent so much time on her?

"All of you can leave. What's the point of a damned God position, finding so many women I don't even like at all for it? What's the use? I don't want it anymore, and I don't want the God position either. Whoever wants it can have it!"

Is this considered giving up completely?

Wu Suowei happened to come to watch the commotion, and before he got close, he was terrified by Tang Rao's shocking words.

After his head cleared a bit, he staggered through the crowd to stand in front of Tang Rao: "My obedient disciple, it seems your master just had an illusion. What did you just say? You said you don't want the God position anymore? You must be joking with your master, right?"

Wu Suowei grabbed Tang Rao's clothes, and if Tang Rao said anything he didn't want to hear, Tang Rao better forget about keeping his clothes on.

"I'm not joking with you. What kind of nonsense God position is that? Forcing things on me that don't belong to me at all. I've said I don't like it, but has anyone actually considered what I want?"

The woman Tang Rao loved had died back on Blue Star. Back then, the purest and most genuine love had long dissipated without him realizing. Now, he would undoubtedly keep any woman he loved by his side because he knew these women loved him, and they would treat him well. Even if he fell for another woman in the future, his current family would unconditionally accept her.

The cost of loving someone was too low for him, and love gradually became cheap in his mind.

He couldn't recapture the feeling from his first love because his love was never what he wanted, but what was supposedly intended by Heavenly Dao, forcibly attaching women to him.

He wasn't fighting and sacrificing for power or what he wanted. After Wu Suowei said those words, he only felt more like a zombie than before, feeling more lost than before. How much longer could he endure such a life? Tang Rao didn't know, he only felt it was close, only knew that if he didn't break this deadlock soon, darkness awaited him, a point of no return.

"Ever since you told me I had to find women from all the islands and make them my wives, only then would I have a chance at reaching the pinnacle. But before reaching that pinnacle, I nearly lost everything because I didn't know what I wanted. Master, if you are truly my master and truly care about me, just let me go. Pretend you've never heard that legend, let's have a good life here in Kao Shan Sect, just lead the brothers well in Kao Shan Sect. Live this life, isn't this the life you wanted?"

Why bring more innocent people into this?

For the sake of Tang Rao's plan, so many women were deceived into it, all thinking that being with Tang Rao meant receiving his love, unaware that Tang Rao's love for all women was just a habit of his. Does he even know what love is anymore?

"I don't want to harm more women, so I'm giving up that position. Those responsibilities aren't only mine to bear, so many others could probably do it better than me."

After speaking words he couldn't say for many years, Tang Rao's heart inexplicably felt much lighter. The burdens on him weren't ones he chose for himself; they were all imposed by Wu Suowei. Now, he wanted to be the first to say 'no' to Wu Suowei.

How could Wu Suowei not know that Tang Rao, despite appearing carefree every day, actually lived more exhausted than anyone else? In recent days, when Tang Rao walked alone, he'd nearly forgotten how to smile.

His life comprised only of completing tasks—finding a woman meant completing a task. Once the women from every island were found, and the tasks were completed, Tang Rao might have lost himself.

Recently, Wu Suowei often reflected on himself, wanting to know whether what he was doing was right or wrong. In countless dreams at night, he would persuade Tang Rao that if he couldn't keep going, they should just give up. But when he spoke those words, a ghastly face would always appear before Wu Suowei.

Half of that face's mouth would go from mumbling to roaring shouts, and Wu Suowei would wake up scared from those bouts of shouting.

That face, that voice, Wu Suowei was too familiar with. If it weren't for that face, he probably wouldn't have persisted until now.

Even just now, after hearing Tang Rao's grievances, Wu Suowei wanted to tell Tang Rao not to persist and to just live the simple life of ordinary people. Thankfully, before he uttered those words, that face appeared again.

He broke out in a cold sweat.

If he had also said to give up, everyone would be doomed.
