The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Clearly, there are some things that could be clarified in Illusion City, but she went the extra mile for the sake of providing more topics for conversation between Tang Lei and Tang Rao.

Father and son have had little communication since childhood, and conversations from the heart are even rarer.

Fang Fang truly put in a lot of effort to improve their relationship.

"A husband's duty is naturally to listen to his wife's instructions."

No matter how unwilling, as long as the words come from Fang Fang's mouth, he must listen and act on them.

It's not out of fear of Fang Fang; he simply thinks of her as his wife—his lifelong, loyal companion. Fang Fang is in this position because of her relationship with Tang Lei, so Tang Lei naturally feels indebted. Acting according to Fang Fang's words can be seen as making it up to her, as a way to ease her heart.

"Did he really agree to that? Or is he just saying it, only to change his mind later?"

When Tang Qingqing was giving Tang Rao a real-time report on the situation, Tang Rao hardly believed it.

His father, whom he hardly knew, he could guess what kind of person he was. Just hearing Tang Qingqing describe him, he knew this person was hard to get along with.

He approached this with a trial mindset, initially playing the pity card in front of his mother, who immediately showed a distressing stance. The mere act of speaking few words worked; his father softened up right away.

This love is exceptionally powerful, too strong for anyone to bear.

"Let me tell you, all these years, every word that came out of Mom's mouth has never been disobeyed by Dad. You've got to trust Dad's loyalty to Mom; Dad's love for Mom surpasses the love he has for us both."

Tang Qingqing originally meant to deliver good news to Tang Rao, but ended up complaining.

It's not entirely her fault; she never understood what love was, so her lack of understanding about their parents' relationship became more normal.

"Sis, when I return to North Island, I'll find some suitable men for you to interact with, see if you can feel the same."

Tang Qingqing treated Tang Rao sincerely, yet Tang Rao subtly mocked Tang Qingqing, hinting at her lack of a partner.

His tone was rather venomous when he said those things.

"You brat, good thing you're not in front of me, otherwise I'd really hit you, believe it or not?"

Such a ladylike girl, enraged to the point of fury; Tang Rao surely hit Tang Qingqing's sore spot.

"I believe it, okay then, when there's a chance, I'll invite you over to my Kao Shan Sect, let you meet your sisters-in-law. Oh, and your big nephew, my son, you've seen him, probably, maybe not up close. When the chance arises, I'll let you handle him, having no sons won't feel so bad, right?"

Tang Qingqing promptly ended the conversation with Tang Rao.

To put it in layman's terms, Tang Rao doesn't know how to talk; he always kills the conversation.

Talking to him is worse than sleeping or having a meal alone.

"Benefactor, have you found your mother yet?"

Tang Shimei was beside Tang Rao, she only saw Tang Rao grinning without knowing what nonsensical thoughts ran through his mind.

"Yes, found her. I've even met her. We can return anytime now that the mission is complete. Are you going back with me?"

Tang Rao meant returning to Tang Shimei's home.

Before Tang Lei came personally to find him, he wouldn't leave.

"I don't dare go back. Even though you've pleaded in front of my dad, and he's shown leniency, I'm still one who disgraced the family. Even a lifetime without forgiveness doesn't matter, but I want to live; I don't want to die pointlessly because of a man; I'd feel it's too worthless."

Tang Shimei, who used to wear masks, distanced herself from everyone, found it hard to reveal genuine emotions. But now, things have changed. Tang Rao is someone she truly trusts, if she can't speak her heart to him, then who else could she show her true self?

"I completely understand your feelings, don't worry, your dad won't touch you—now or ever; my word on it."

Tang Rao didn't know why he would make a promise to someone not closely connected, maybe it was the good mood of the day, or perhaps he felt sorry for how Tang Shimei turned out.

"Then, I'll return. I trust you to keep me alive."

Tang Shimei chose to trust Tang Rao one more time, deciding to have faith in him again.

The old man didn't expect Tang Rao to come back so quickly, just a short time since departure, and he's back already.

"You came back halfway?"

With Tang Shimei leading, Tang Rao couldn't have completed the mission so fast; the only explanation might be his mission failed and was called off.

"Old man, are you wishing my mission to fail?"

Tang Rao casually picked a chair, sat on it, his body lazily sprawled across it, the lazy aura enveloping him.

"Did you really find your mother?"

The old man couldn't believe Tang Rao's actions were so quick.

Did Heavenly Dao's traps mean nothing?

"Found her, and met her too; you, old man, really didn't give any hints, causing me to waste so much time hearing whispers from my mother."

Tang Rao couldn't blame the old man; he had his reasons. Carelessly speaking would have led to repercussions from the Heavenly Dao; already with frail bones, how much could he withstand?

His own struggles were challenging enough, let alone enduring Heavenly Dao's trials again.

"Kid, I have my reasons. You gotta understand this old man, but finding your mother in such a short span is cause for celebration, indeed!"

Finding her was a sign of Tang Rao's advancing abilities. Unfortunately, even though he found her, he couldn't rescue his mother.

Lord Heavenly Dao was no pushover.

"Looking at your expression, it's clear progress wasn't smooth. Congratulating me now is premature; congratulations should wait until I've rescued my mother."

The old man thought Tang Rao would be satisfied after meeting his mother, but his goal was to rescue her.

No one has succeeded in rescuing someone from the clutches of Heavenly Dao.

"Your mother was imprisoned back then; even Heavenly Dao couldn't approach her. You think the process to free her is straightforward?"

Already doubtful, the old man insisted on pouring cold water on Tang Rao's aspirations.
