The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

The sound wasn't loud, yet it was resonant and powerful.

Everyone knew Fu Lun was genuinely angry.

"Master, we didn't mean it."

Everyone hung their heads low, not daring to breathe when Fu Lun cursed them, only apologizing to him slowly once he fell silent.

"Master, we've always admired you, but there's something we don't understand. Why don't you blame him for shattering your Divine Stone? Isn't it your most treasured possession?"

Your most treasured possession? Are they speaking of the Divine Stone?

Fu Lun felt like berating this group for their lack of perception, and taunting them thoroughly as a bonus.

"The Divine Stone is precious, but what is it compared to Tang Rao? You don't understand now, but you will eventually. Let me remind you, no matter how bold you are, don't provoke him, or you'll regret it!"

Having spoken, Fu Lun entered his room.

When in a good mood, he brewed a pot of Immortal Tea for himself. The buds for Immortal Tea were extremely rare; he had searched high and low, and only acquired a few. He only brewed it when he was in an exceptionally good mood, then closed his eyes and absorbed the Immortal Energy, savoring it for several hours.

Tang Rao?

Hahaha, Fu Lun never expected it to be Tang Rao!

When Tang Rao first arrived in Tingzhou, accompanied by Liu Da and others in search of a place to stay, Tang Rao encountered Fu Lun's Divine Sense down a dry well. Fu Lun had left a trace of his Divine Sense there entirely for self-preservation, as a backup for himself, never expecting someone would find it. Moreover, the Accelerator he left behind was now with Tang Rao.

Why has that mediocre fellow arrived at Motherly Mountain so quickly? What does he intend?

Fu Lun knew a few secrets about Tang Rao, but regrettably not everything. In order to learn more, he couldn't keep Tang Rao beside him, as it would rouse suspicion from others, making it harder to continue his investigation. If Tang Rao stayed around, what could he possibly uncover?

Interesting. How many years has it been since he returned from North Island to Motherly Mountain? It's been ages since he's encountered something so intriguing.

Tang Rao twisted and turned, traversing a long path, constantly glancing behind and above him, afraid that big thing would reappear, disturbing his peace.

It's not the people he feared, but that elusive big thing—coming and going as it pleased. The key was, Tang Rao had no means to handle it, given his strength was no match for the beast.

"Customer, resting or lodging?"

After a struggle, he arrived at a bustling area, bustling with people—more comfortable than his previous location.

"Lodging, bring me some good wine and food."

The inn had a decent environment; this was Motherly Mountain after all, how bad could it be?

Tang Rao envied that even a little bellhop here boasted the power of a late-phase god, just like him, so it's no wonder the bellhop didn't show disdain upon seeing Tang Rao.

"Got it, coming right up. Please wait a moment, and let me show you your room."

The bellhop was so attentive that Tang Rao stayed vigilant, though he relaxed after being well cared for, rewarding the bellhop with some Purple Crystal he had prepared.

"You're too kind. Seeing as you've rewarded me with so much Purple Crystal, I can quietly tell you something."

The bellhop was genuine, not taking tips for the first time. He always offered guests a secret he knew, something the guest might want to know, as a token of gratitude.

"What is it?"

Tang Rao held his chopsticks in midair, captivated by the bellhop's words, forgetting to eat.

"Just when you entered the inn, a man and a woman followed you in. They're staying next to you, and I've noticed them eyeing you several times, so they must be acquaintances. If you're unaware of this, you should be extra cautious."

Being straightforward, Tang Rao couldn't leave the bellhop hanging. He handed over more Purple Crystal, instructing the bellhop, "Keep a close watch on that man and woman. Inform me of any new developments!"

A man and a woman?

Tang Rao doubted he knew anyone at Motherly Mountain, let alone a man and a woman.

Who could these two be?

Momentarily, Tang Rao couldn't think of better candidates.

"Senior Brother, Tang Rao's entered the inn. He probably won't leave for a while. Should we also stay?"

The woman sat at the table, having ordered two jugs of wine, drinking one by herself already.

Even with this liquor consumption, one jug wasn't enough as she'd opened the second one, ready to keep drinking.

"Of course, Junior Sister. You're not telling me you don't want to continue following, are you?"

The man's eyebrows arched, his eyes drooping, looking every bit the villain.

"Certainly not. I just don't understand why Senior Brother only booked a single room. Aren't you worried about arousing suspicion or damaging my reputation?"

The woman clung to the wine jug, speaking her mind as she drank.

These words should have been spoken ages ago, she just hadn't found the right time.

"Junior Sister, if we book two rooms, won't it draw more attention? There's no harm in sharing one room after all these brotherly years—you don't really fear Senior Brother would do anything inappropriate, do you?"

The man's gaze roamed the woman's body, his possessiveness barely hidden. Honestly, when he said he wouldn't do anything, even a three-year-old might misunderstand that he really meant to.

"Senior Brother treats me like a real sister, why would anything happen? I'm only worried others might misunderstand, given the bustling tongues at Motherly Mountain. Damaging my reputation also tarnishes yours, something you'd surely want to avoid?"

After downing the second jug, the woman's face was flushed with a bright red, looking stunningly radiant.

"Senior Brother isn't worried. Junior Sister, stop drinking. You'll need to check the room next door later; if you drink yourself silly, how will you investigate?"

The man worried the woman would drink too much, and that the first to lose control wouldn't be her, but him upon seeing her slightly tipsy state.

To prevent himself, his excuse was indeed somewhat lame.

"True, then I'll take the bed, letting Senior Brother take the floor."

Having drunk the two jugs, the woman felt her head spinning.

Previously, consuming ten times this amount wouldn't have fazed her, but today after only two jugs, she's feeling dizzy, barely in control.

Just as she intended to mention something was amiss with the wine, a heavy sensation engulfed her, leading her into deep unconsciousness.
