The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"That's right, Father only called you, I can't go with you."

The Tang Family has always had strict rules. Even if Tang Qingqing meant no harm, she would face corresponding punishment if she went along.

"I can go by myself."

Tang Rao withdrew his hand and clasped his hands behind his back.

Wasn't Tang Lei calling him over? It was better for him to hurry a bit.

If Tang Qingqing hadn't given Tang Rao the map, he might truly have gotten lost in the Tang Family compound, never finding his way out.

"Come in."

His body had yet to move, but the voice arrived first.

Tang Rao had not even knocked when Tang Lei's voice emerged from inside.

"Father, I arrived silently, holding my breath; how did you discern that I was just outside the door and about to knock?"

Tang Rao entered, taking the chance to voice the question residing in his heart.

"Intuition."

Tang Lei did not deceive Tang Rao; indeed, it was intuition, a powerful innate intuition. Because of this intuition, Tang Lei could perceive Tang Rao's every move outside.

However, merely saying intuition felt overly simplistic and shallow. Tang Rao understood immediately; if he knew how it worked, would he need Tang Lei's explanation?

Perhaps seeing Tang Rao's thoughts, Tang Lei responded without being asked: "Intuition is inherent to our Tang Family. You possessed it in the past; however, after being reincarnated, you overlooked your intuition. Or maybe your intuition is quite keen, but your strength hasn't reached a certain level, so your intuition isn't as powerful as one might imagine."

Tang Lei's explanation was both fair and genuine.

Finally, Tang Rao realized why he constantly sensed danger just before it arrived. Initially, he thought it was mere luck. Now he knew it was not luck at all, but intuition being mischievous.

"Before arriving at Central Island, I always thought I was lucky, surviving every peril. Now I finally understand why."

He had never appreciated the blood of the Tang Family flowing within him. For the first time, he felt that having this bloodline was truly invaluable.

"The Tang Family bloodline has always been special; others long for it but find it elusive, yet you find it distasteful?"

Tang Lei rolled his eyes at Tang Rao; someone so ungrateful deserves to be scolded.

"I don't despise it. I'm thrilled beyond measure; how could I despise it?"

Tang Rao knew he had to speak sweetly. Shortly, he was still expecting Tang Lei to retrieve his memory; saying one wrong word might offend Tang Lei, and besides not retrieving his memory, he'd lose everything.

"Father, look, it's gotten dark. You summoned me here but haven't gotten to the point. It's rather distressing."

Tang Rao truthfully told Tang Lei.

What was the main business of tonight? Could Tang Lei have forgotten all about it?

"Retrieving your memory is not difficult; it won't take much time. But the question is, do you wish to regain your memory to enrich your life, or to avenge your mother? Father hopes you'll answer honestly."

At this point, Tang Lei proactively inquired about Tang Rao's purpose for wanting to recover his memory. Would Tang Rao answer honestly?

"To avenge my mother, to rescue her."

The response was unexpected; Tang Rao did not say anything about enriching life, instead candidly expressing his intentions to Tang Lei.

"Father knew it. It is evident you won't even tell your father a white lie. Your mother didn't love you in vain. Alright then, retrieve your memory, and you'll find Heavenly Dao's weaknesses. Until your strength reaches a certain level, do not act rashly. When your power reaches its peak, or even surpasses it, then you can confront Heavenly Dao. By then, even Father will look up to you. Father hopes you will reach that day soon!"

Tang Lei, abandoning the stern father image, became quite verbose, almost maternal. He went on and on, clearly wanting Tang Rao to understand the consequences. Tang Rao understood very well.

"I know, I understand. Please start retrieving the memory quickly."

During the lengthy night, he'd chat with his wives, setting up the Dragon Array. If Tang Lei wasted a bit of time now, Tang Rao might miss saying a couple more words to each woman.

Every woman was dear to Tang Rao's heart. Missing the chance to say a couple of words made him feel a sense of guilt toward them.

"Go to the barrel over there, lean against its edge, and sit down."

Knowing Tang Rao wouldn't listen, Tang Lei didn't say much more but pointed to a big barrel, instructing Tang Rao to sit inside. Wasn't he urging for the beginning? Then let it begin.

Tang Rao had never used such a large barrel. A barrel this large was enough for ten people to soak in. Was it not too wasteful to use such a barrel for Tang Rao alone?

"Is this for me to take a bath in?"

Tang Rao still felt it a bit extravagant.

This dilapidated, desolate Tang Family surprisingly had a luxurious barrel. Fortunately, Heavenly Dao hadn't noticed. Had they discovered a barrel so perfect, the Tang Family might not even keep a bath barrel.

"Don't be absurd, it's a Magic Artifact, not a bath barrel."

If Tang Lei didn't stop Tang Rao, even more peculiar words might emerge from his mouth.

"Oh, oh, a Magic Artifact? What kind?"

Through his journey, Tang Rao had acquired many artifacts, yet no classic ones. Seeing the artifact in Tang Lei's hand made Tang Rao covetous, almost unable to resist placing this big barrel inside the Space Ring.

"Don't even think about it; you're not yet capable of controlling it. Once you're able, I'll give it to you."

It turned out Tang Lei was already aware of Tang Rao's thoughts. No wonder he hadn't even opened his mouth when the refusal had already been spoken.

"Stingy."

Tang Rao grumbled under his breath, yet obediently entered the barrel and leaned his back against its edge as instructed by Tang Lei.

"Is this all that's required?"

Not knowing what lay ahead, naturally, Tang Rao asked. But no sooner were the words spoken than a layer resembling an electric mesh appeared atop the barrel. This electric grid, flashing with light, formed a lid over the barrel.

"What's this thing? It won't electrocute me, will it?"

Tang Rao dared not move any further. He knew that if he did, the electric mesh would fall upon him, and he'd certainly suffer.

"As long as you don't move recklessly, it naturally won't."

Tang Lei packed all necessary information into that sentence. If Tang Rao didn't understand, it was his intelligence at fault.

"That's good; then I'm relieved."

Just saying relieved wasn't enough. The moment Tang Rao's heart relaxed, a sudden gush of liquid filled the barrel. These azure liquids also sparkled, sending beams onto Tang Rao, emitting a crackling sound.

"What's happening here?"
