The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1279 - 1278: A Master with a Hidden Trap

This is a powder-purple Space Ring, requiring no Soul Power. Tang Rao opened it to see, and indeed, the Poison God residing in Southern City is different; casually taking out a Space Ring, it's filled with poisons Tang Rao has never laid eyes on.Also, that old lady has a slightly worse temper, but the things she has are indeed better than Tang Rao's collection.

"Are these things all your creations?"

Tang Rao looked at the things inside, his eyes starting to shine.

"Of course they're mine, how could they be someone else's?"

The old lady dislikes being questioned about her abilities in poison crafting.

"So, what you're saying is, if you want these things, you can just create them anytime, and the finished products aren't important to you at all, are they?"

Tang Rao's gaze carried some cunning and calculation.

"That should be right."

This old lady can craft as much as she wants, and she doesn't worry about Tang Rao doing anything, as she explained.

"Can I have everything?"

This time, Tang Rao spoke with even greater boldness.

"Want them? It's not impossible."

The old lady gave Tang Rao a smug glance.

But she also secretly sighed, marveling at Tang Rao's audacity to ask for so much in front of her; his talent may still need more consideration.

"Of course I want them, if you give me everything, I might consider it."

As always, if Tang Rao wants something, he wants it all, or he might just turn and leave.

"I agree, I'll give you everything, on the condition you become my apprentice and don't argue with me anymore!"

The old lady has just this requirement; at their level, they lack nothing, perhaps only a successor to her poison crafting skills.

"Being your apprentice isn't out of question, but I also have conditions; I'll only learn, don't expect me to do anything for you."

The old lady is notorious for her evil deeds, and if Tang Rao learns her skills, she may want him to kill and commit arson, turning him into someone like her.

"Fine!"

Unexpectedly, the old lady agreed immediately.

This left Tang Rao in a dilemma.

"Tang Rao, agree to her."

Supreme Power's advice implies there's no issue.

Tang Rao didn't wish to break his word and start a fight with the old lady.

"Tell me, how should I learn?"

Tang Rao inquired.

The last time he learned about Star Formation, it took him half a month, during which too much was missed; learning poison crafting now, having to stay with the old lady daily, Tang Rao wondered if he had the endurance.

"These are my life's work results, you can take them home to study. Every month there's an assessment here, to become my disciple, besides knowing the contents, you need to come here every seven days for assessments. I'll question your knowledge; from the moment you became my apprentice, failing to come for assessments on time will retard your skills until you're nothing."

Tang Rao knew the old lady was tough, but he didn't realize her ruthlessness reached such an extent.

Even the apprenticeship was a trap, and Tang Rao hadn't expected this, walking right into it and unable to escape.

"Alright, alright, isn't it just once every seven days? I'll come, it's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh."

With riches in hand, Tang Rao felt there was no loss compared to the current gains. Learning weekly and sparring with the old lady wasn't disadvantageous for him.

Stowing the Space Ring given by the old lady, Tang Rao didn't linger for small talk, intending to leave Southern City swiftly, a place leaving him with an unpleasant impression.

"By the way, is Tang Xiaobai okay?"

Upon leaving Southern City's gate, Tang Rao retrieved Tang Xiaobai from Little World, still clutching clusters of Purple Crystal.

"Tang Xiaobai, I was almost scared to death by you, and yet here you are playing inside, even laughing. Are you really my Tang Rao's son?"

Tang Rao originally wanted to pat Tang Xiaobai's butt twice but softened upon seeing Tang Xiaobai's eyes.

"Glad you're okay."

He kissed Tang Xiaobai's cheeks twice, feeling as if he regained something lost.

"Since your Tang Xiaobai is fine, I should come out too. The longer I stayed in your body, the more I liked the feeling. What if I can't bear to leave later?"

Tang Rao was startled by Supreme Power, promptly pulling him out of his body and urging, "Come out immediately; every second you stay in there, I can't be at peace."

Supreme Power was just joking with Tang Rao; honestly, Tang Rao's body wasn't as strong as Supreme Power's current one, having once been a high deity, his body was already well-conditioned, far sturdier than Tang Rao's.

Restoring to Supreme Power's previous form, Tang Rao wasn't possessed; this old guy was indeed considerate.

Little did they know, Supreme Power didn't want possession since Tang Rao's body was too weak; it was better to show him favor, earning his gratitude.

"Supreme Power, upon returning, to thank you, should I help you match up with Holy Mother?"

Aside from that, Tang Rao had nothing else to offer!

"I think I'll return to your body; the outside world is too frightening. I deeply regret my earlier choice."

If Supreme Power knew Tang Rao would repay him like this, he shouldn't have worried so much.

While talking, the two swiftly arrived at Wen Rou's place.

Li Shengxuan awoke from fainting, thinking of Tang Xiaobai's absence, only to faint again; no matter how robust the defense, couldn't withstand Li Shengxuan's turmoil?

Fortunately, Tang Rao returned promptly, and seeing Tang Xiaobai in his hands, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tang Rao, where did you find Tang Xiaobai? Is this truly Tang Xiaobai?"

In such a vast Divine Realm, searching for Tang Xiaobai was akin to finding a needle in a haystack; they knew the difficulty well.

Yet within a day, Tang Rao brought him back.

"Of course, it's Tang Xiaobai, absolutely genuine!"

He couldn't mistake his own son.

"Sheng Xuan, see? I told you Tang Xiaobai would be fine, and you didn't believe. Now, are you relieved?"

Watching Li Shengxuan, nearly overwhelmed by anger, claiming not to care would be unbelievable; luckily, Tang Xiaobai was fine, Li Shengxuan recovered quickly.

"Tang Rao, I want to see Xiao Bai, let me see Xiao Bai."

Handing the child to Li Shengxuan, witnessing Xiao Bai's cheerful disposition, Li Shengxuan was overwhelmed with tears.

"Xiao Bai is fine, just a master took him, intending to return as soon as we were ready; he was returned right away."

Tang Rao told Li Shengxuan a harmless lie.
