The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1426 - 1425: Big Brother, I Don’t Have Any

It was only because Xiao Li went on a trip that Yan Wei considered coming over. Even so, Tang Rao felt it was enough, and he was so moved that he almost shed warm tears."It's fine. I didn't expect that old fox from the An Family to give me an opportunity, letting me unleash my ultimate move. How foolishly kind I was trying to be."

"I watched your live broadcast at the time. Do you think I don't know how serious it was? If the person hadn't given you three chances, would you still have had the opportunity to stand up and meet me face-to-face?"

Yan Wei was quite frightened. Even with his system that could take Tang Rao away, he had to consider what kind of expert Tang Rao faced. If Yan Wei's speed wasn't faster than An Family Patriarch's, Tang Rao would still meet his end here.

"It's all good. With friends like you guys around, what am I afraid of? I'm a stubborn survivor."

Yan Wei agreed quite a bit. If Tang Rao wasn't lucky, he would have been captured by others several times and met his fate.

"Hearing you say that leaves me speechless. Don't take risks next time. If something happens again, no one will be there to help you immediately."

Yan Wei sighed and then noticed, not far from him and Tang Rao, a shadowy figure hidden in the ruins.

"Is that someone from the Liu Family or the An Family?"

Where Yan Wei pointed, the shadowy figure had not yet left. Watching from afar, Yan Wei didn't have as good eyesight as Tang Rao and couldn't clearly see the person's appearance.

"I don't know people from the Liu Family or the An Family. How would I know? But judging by his sneaky look, it's clear he's up to no good."

Tang Rao wasn't someone who could predict the future; in his view, anyone apart from his close friends was no good.

"This person seemed to have arrived before I did and has been waiting there, as if waiting for an opportunity. Why don't you go over and ask what's going on?"

Yan Wei's suggestion to Tang Rao wasn't taken up by him.

He had just narrowly escaped a dire situation; stepping out of one tiger's mouth only to step into another wasn't something Tang Rao dared to do.

"I'm not going. If you want to, you go. I can't tell his strength, which means it's definitely higher than mine. If I go and bother someone stronger than me, what if they find me annoying and kill me?"

Tang Rao thought this through. Having been in countless whirlwinds, he wasn't one to fall for the same mistake again. He had no intention of getting caught in another trap.

Just as Yan Wei was about to suggest that maybe they both shouldn't go, his eyes suddenly widened like saucers, "Tang Rao, he spotted us! What do we do?"

What do we do? Cool salad. The real worry is if he chases you down and harms you again, not just running your mouth off forever.

"Let him come over. If he's really here for me, I can't run away, and if he's not, why should I go looking for trouble?"

Just as Tang Rao predicted, Yan Wei found himself in an unfamiliar and dangerous place, where anyone could get him killed. So minimizing contact with others was a form of self-protection.

The shadowy figure, as Tang Rao predicted, began to approach them, and Yan Wei tried to find a suitable place to hide. But there wasn't even a place a dog could hide, so where could a big guy like him go?

"Maybe I should head back to the Moon first. I might be a burden to you here, and if you can't do your best because of me, wouldn't I be to blame?" Yan Wei tried to find an excuse to leave, but his speed was no match for Tang Rao's quick hands. With his hand gripping Yan Wei's collar, no matter how Yan Wei tried to break free, he couldn't escape Tang Rao's grasp.

That simple gesture revealed everything. Once, in one canteen, one dormitory, they were happy together. Now, one above, one below, with such a vast difference in their abilities.

Yan Wei felt he was losing pace with Tang Rao. This wasn't the first time he felt he couldn't keep up with Tang Rao's growth.

Tang Rao couldn't read minds, but after so many years of knowing Yan Wei, he could see what kind of person Yan Wei was and what he was thinking without the need for such a technique.

"Why overthink it? Just stay put. If the shadowy figure plans anything against you, I'll protect you with my life. You, Yan Wei, are a brother to me for life."

Tang Rao thumped his chest loudly.

There are plenty of friends for a time, but few are friends for life.

Just hearing those words, "brother for life," improved Yan Wei's mood tremendously. "Right, we're brothers for life. We should face everything together."

Yan Wei even thought, momentarily, that he wouldn't leave.

The Moon belongs to a gentle time, while the Divine Realm, as soon as he arrived, made his blood boil.

As a true man, feeling excited and passionate in one's youth is quite rare.

"Are you Tang Rao?"

Yan Wei and Tang Rao rested their arms on each other's shoulders, and when the shadowy figure approached, they both smiled warmly.

"Yeah, are you here for money or my life?"

Tang Rao had no money but a life to give, though he neither wanted to offer money nor life. Everything depended on the shadowy figure's next moves.

"Elixir Pills."

With a scarred face devoid of expression, he extended his hand, and the words "Elixir Pills" came out flatly.

"Big brother, what Elixir Pills are you talking about? I can't quite understand."

Elixir Pills? What nonsense. I'm Tang Rao, suave and debonair; would I give away whatever he asks for without any sense of pride?

"Seventh-grade Elixir Pills. I took the mission from Family Head Liu. It should be legitimate, right?"

With piercing eyes naturally conveying a sense of pressure, would Tang Rao, who wouldn't even yield to his grandmother, compromise in front of this shadowy figure?

As for the bet between the shadowy figure and Family Head Liu, Tang Rao wasn't involved. Why should he fulfill a bet on their behalf?

It's nonsense.

"The message was posted in Illusion City. The power of a deity can save you, defeat An Family Master, and have you create Elixir Pills. Don't you know?"

The shadowy figure looked confused. It was supposed to be a mutual exchange, but Tang Rao questioned it like he knew nothing at all.

"You say Family Head Liu promised you, saving me in exchange for Elixir Pills?"

"Besides the Elixir Pills, there's also his compensation."

Both of which, he intended to collect.

"Compensation too? Family Head Liu thought highly of me, spending so lavishly! Impressive!"

Because of Family Head Liu's departure, Tang Rao didn't have a good impression of him, but it instantly improved due to these trivial acts.

"Elixir Pills!"

The shadowy figure spoke little, each sentence a classic in its own right, as if he wouldn't leave without one today.

"Big brother, I said I don't have any Elixir Pills. Why don't you believe me? Do I look like someone who can create seventh-grade Elixir Pills?"
