The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Speaking of which, the outside looks like a mountain villa, but you don't realize it's completely a prison inside. All sizes of rooms are guarded, and even the strength of these guards is far superior to Tang Rao's.

"Hey, guys, you're so strong, yet you're just guards?"

While locked inside, Tang Rao didn't waste a single moment. He was determined to find out as much as possible in the shortest amount of time.

Unfortunately, despite speaking so much, they didn't give Tang Rao a single reply. Tang Rao asked again, his tone even sweeter than the last time, but it seemed to nauseate himself more than make any progress.

Forget it, Tang Rao intended to curse, but since his strength was inferior, he thought if he angered them, and the Divine Stone for detecting essence hadn't even arrived before he died, it would be truly unwise.

"Finally saw a living person here! Brother, why were you captured and brought in?"

Next to Tang Rao's cell lived another person, dirty all over with messy hair. A beggar?

Though he was also a beggar, the previous beggar looked vastly different from this one. Even Tang Rao could tell with his poor eyesight that they weren't the same person.

Seeing it wasn't the person who tricked him, Tang Rao's expression slightly softened.

"I don't know why they brought me to this place, maybe it's because I'm handsome?"

Talking to a stranger, Tang Rao had to be cautious about everything. Getting him to say something truthful was indeed not a simple task.

"Just because you're handsome you got caught here? Seems we're in the same boat!"

Tang Rao was just talking nonsense, and the beggar-like man followed suit, covering his mouth and smirking twice, which made Tang Rao extremely unhappy.

"Both handsome, but I'm refreshingly handsome while you are stinkily handsome. Can you explain how that works?"

Tang Rao left the beggar speechless.

Him? Messy and dirty, also considered handsome?

"Little brother, were you brought here after trespassing Motherly Mountain?"

The beggar smiled wryly; this time, he truly showed sympathy.

"Are you too?"

Tang Rao was not that capable, but he was better at grasping key points than anyone. He grabbed onto the man's slip of the tongue, confirming the reason why he was brought to this prison wasn't simple either.

"Being locked up here, how light do you think the crime can be?"

The beggar suddenly laughed; his laugh was several times uglier than when he didn't.

"What do you mean? What does it mean to be locked up here?"

Trespassers of Motherly Mountain aren't all locked up here, right? Is there someone with a different treatment than Tang Rao?

"Still bragging about being handsome without knowing this? Trespassers of Motherly Mountain don't even qualify to enter; once they step in, they're killed. You're different; you're not only alive but caught here awaiting trial. People like you have only two possibilities: lucky accident with foolish Law Enforcement or you're backed by a powerful family they dare not provoke!"

The beggar gave Tang Rao a thorough analysis, but after the analysis, Tang Rao still felt somewhat clueless.

"I own a big land, I'm the biggest there. Your gatekeepers here are all stronger than me, so the background theory doesn't fit. As for luck, it doesn't make sense either. This place is well-kept, everything is clean; why would anyone purposely find trouble?"

Both theories don't hold, and Tang Rao felt puzzled too.

"That's strange then. I'm originally from here, brought because I killed a fellow tribesman. They wanted to teach me a lesson, and after some reflection, I would be released. Why? Because I have backing! My father can't bear to see me suffer, unlike you. You must wait for the long-awaited result, and can't even return home. If unlucky, the Divine Stone might decide you should die, and you'll be beyond saving."

The shabby-dressed man told Tang Rao she had backing, clearly trying to provoke him.

"Shut your crow mouth!"

If he can live or not was not for him or the Divine Stone to decide.

Tang Rao had the consciousness of defying fate before coming to the Divine Realm. His high consciousness couldn't be altered by the beggar's boastful conversation.

"I'm just stating facts! Believe it or not, within an incense stick's time, you'll have the answer to survival."

The beggar provided more information than the guards but also blocked Tang Rao's thoughts.

Only one incense stick's time, and Tang Rao understood their purpose.

The two guards, holding a tray, walked nervously towards Tang Rao.

His years of experience told him what they carried must be the Divine Stone.

"See, I didn't deceive you, did I?"

In his schadenfreude, a whip sounded directly on the beggar, "Is this place where you can stir up trouble?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, take it easy! I was just explaining the rules to the newbie. If he constantly makes mistakes here, isn't it better I teach him first? Saves you time and effort!"

The reasoning was weak, but passable. The guards stopped whipping the beggar.

Tang Rao saw the entire scene and understood clearly. No matter how powerful one's background is, it amounts to nothing here. At best, those with backing might survive; those without won't even keep their lives.

Therefore, in front of these people, it's best to behave or pretend deaf and dumb. Being inconspicuous means fewer troubles, and under the roofs of others, one must bow their head. Tang Rao took it as a dog bite, and the subsequent events had to be even more cautiously approached, lest one mistake leads to endless mistakes.

"You, come out!"

After the beggar was subdued, a man dressed differently from the guards pointed at Tang Rao, meaning his interrogation began.

Tang Rao trotted out, cooperating like nothing else.

"Tie him up for me!"

The man ordered, and Tang Rao was immediately tied up on a cross-shaped stake.

"Why are you tying me up for nothing? Civilized enforcement, can't we have a proper conversation?"

The more Tang Rao spoke, the tighter his hands and feet felt.
