The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Oh Sheng Xuan, I just want to come in and see you, at least let me know why you're so angry?"

Being angry for no reason is really not Li Shengxuan's style.

Tang Rao has brought so many women, yet this one is strongly opposed by Li Shengxuan, it's clearly unusual.

Sheng Xuan knows that if she doesn't let Tang Rao in today, that thick-skinned guy can wait outside all day until everyone else gets annoyed.

"Say it quickly and leave."

Sheng Xuan opened the door, and Tang Rao's figure flashed in like a ghost. He feared that if he was slow for a second, Sheng Xuan might change her mind, and he would have to wait outside again.

"Sheng Xuan, I really have nothing to do with that woman called Chen Jingyi. I swear to the heavens, we are really just together because of mutual benefits, no feelings involved. If I've uttered a single lie, let the heavens strike me with lightning."

Boom!

When men swear like this, they're mostly thinking that the heavens won't bother with them, trick one if you can. Most of the time, they get away with it. But Tang Rao is serious when he says it, he doesn't expect Heavenly Dao to be biased, but at least be fair. What was that thunder just now supposed to mean, looking down on whom?

If he didn't do it, he didn't do it. Was that thunder trying to frame Tang Rao or what?

When Sheng Xuan heard the thunder outside, she was already furious, and she had an even worse attitude towards Tang Rao.

Among women, she's known as the most gentle one, yet now even she can't suppress her anger over another woman. Could it be that there is deep-seated hatred between Chen Jingyi and Li Shengxuan?

"Don't swear lightly, the heavens are listening."

Tang Rao racked his brain to find an explanation, driving himself to the brink of madness, yet he couldn't come up with an excuse that would pass his own conscience. Li Shengxuan didn't want to make things difficult for Tang Rao, after all, whether he seeks out other women is his freedom, it has nothing to do with her.

"Sigh, when it comes to lying, even I don't know what excuse would appease me, so I'll just tell you the truth."

Tang Rao took out the Divine Artifact given by Tang Lei and pulled Li Shengxuan into the Ensnaring Net.

Heavenly Dao has taken notice of Tang Rao, and if he wants to talk to Li Shengxuan, it can only be done inside this net where he trusts that there isn't any place where secrets could leak out.

"This is the Magic Artifact given by my father, no one outside can hear a word we say in here, only you know, I know, the heavens and the earth know nothing."

Before speaking, Tang Rao made his intentions clear to Li Shengxuan, every word from him would be his truest feelings.

"Sheng Xuan, when I went to Central Island, I saw my mother. I, Tang Rao, have a mother, but my mother has been imprisoned by Heavenly Dao. To rescue her, I need to find the five maids who served her. These maids are like a key, only when they unite can they help me free my mother. My mother is your mother, you wouldn't be so heartless as to deny my mother the chance to be free, right?"

What is Tang Rao trying to say after all that build-up?

Li Shengxuan understood Tang Rao's words but wasn't sure what exactly he wanted to convey.

"So, I don't quite understand your point."

Being trapped in the Ensnaring Net made her uncomfortable, and if Tang Rao didn't get to the point soon, she'd ask to be let out.

Listening to a man's nonsense and lies is the last thing a woman wants to do.

"The previous words were all buildup, listen, every word I say after this is true, though you might find it hard to believe how ridiculous things can be."

Li Shengxuan is the first woman to know his secret besides Chen Jingyi, he imparted all his secrets to her without worrying she'd spill them.

After so many years together and willing to bear children for Tang Rao, would she betray him? Tang Rao was gambling on something, and that is human nature.

"You said she is one of your mother's maids, can she prove it?"

Tang Rao's words shook Li Shengxuan to her core, making it hard for her to believe the truth of the matter even now.

"I believe her words, and my mother believes them too."

Since the two most authoritative figures believe it, there shouldn't be a big issue.

"Can I ask one more question?"

The situation forced Li Shengxuan to agree to let Tang Rao be with Chen Jingyi, even though she naturally doesn't like Chen Jingyi, she could only accept it for now.

"What question?"

If he could answer, Tang Rao would undoubtedly do so without reservation.

"You said to rescue your mother, you need to find the five maids and marry them. Those five, I can't stop you from finding, but after gathering them all, would you one day come to me and say that I no longer have any value to you, that I can't help you, so you don't like me anymore?"

Li Shengxuan doesn't want to become a worthless person, she wants to be with Tang Rao out of love, not just because there's a convenient vacancy.

"What on earth are you thinking about? Is this why you didn't want Chen Jingyi to join our Kao Shan Sect?"

Of course not, but Sheng Xuan did have concerns in that regard.

"Sort of."

As long as Tang Rao doesn't say that taking Chen Jingyi in means they are worthless, then everything's fine.

"If that's your worry, then you can rest a thousand worries. I've never considered things from the angle you're worried about, so just rest assured."

Tang Rao held Sheng Xuan's hand, gently rubbing it to comfort her.

However, even if she appears reassured, there was still a knot in her heart.

What woman truly wants to share her beloved man with others?

She's simply too kind, forever sharing her man with other women. If one day she suddenly doesn't want to share anymore, the man would've already grown accustomed.

"I'm a bit tired."

Sheng Xuan restrained her discomfort and spoke with Tang Rao.

Does she want Tang Rao to let her rest?

"Alright, then you rest first."

Tang Rao opened the Ensnaring Net, allowing Sheng Xuan to leave. He then put away the Magic Artifact and left Sheng Xuan's room.

Tang Rao has this peculiar trait, if a woman is in a bad mood, he'd rather stay away, opting to rest in his own room instead of letting a woman spoil his mood.

As he stepped out, he inquired Wang Han about where Chen Jingyi was settled.

It was already late at night, Wang Han could easily pretend she hadn't seen Tang Rao's message, yet this time she had done something out of line, fearing Chen Jingyi would tattletale first, so she had to tell Tang Rao directly that she placed Chen Jingyi in the house where Qin Qing used to live.

Wang Han couldn't avoid a scolding from Tang Rao for doing this.
