The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1245 - 1244: Buddy, Don't Mess Around

"Come on, next is the moment to witness a miracle."Tang Rao opened his arms, ready to welcome Bald.

"Tang Rao, after crossing the watershed, you think it's over? Sheng Gongbao, tear Tang Rao to pieces for me, that will be your next trophy, your merit badge."

Bald ordered Sheng Gongbao.

He knew Sheng Gongbao, the Divine Beast, feared nothing, not even Bald's commands. But Sheng Gongbao cared about its trophies and merits.

"Roar!"

The low growl of Sheng Gongbao made Tang Rao uncomfortable. This leopard's strength was at least mid-level divine or higher.

Divine Beasts were naturally powerful, and Tang Rao felt anxious, unsure if he could fight Sheng Gongbao till the end.

In the worst case, Tang Rao had to bring out the Purple Crystal Beast, a Divine Beast whose strength was unknown to him, which was his biggest relief.

"Little leopard, you can't beat me. I've got killing intent too. Do you really think you can win me over as a backup?"

He whistled, signaling the Nine-Ding Snowflake Beast to come back quickly.

The little leopard was too strong; thankfully, Tang Rao bore the pressure alone and didn't let the Nine-Ding Snowflake Beast get involved so she wouldn't suffer unnecessary harm.

"Roar!"

Unlike Tang Rao's endless banter, Sheng Gongbao charged at Tang Rao with a bite.

Sheng Gongbao was too fast. No matter how Tang Rao dodged, his clothes were torn by Sheng Gongbao.

"Impressive."

Tang Rao shyly covered the exposed flesh with his hand.

This lack of covering, what did it look like?

"Little leopard, you're so ugly, you can't even let a man go. Are you shameless?"

Sheng Gongbao could understand human words but couldn't grasp Tang Rao's nuanced jokes.

"Roar!"

It came again, with even more ferocious attacks on Tang Rao.

After two exchanges, Tang Rao realized he was no match for Sheng Gongbao.

"How about we pause for now and have a peaceful chat? Why resort to fighting and harming our harmony? What's the point?"

Tang Rao said all he could, not wishing to see blood flow in such a beautiful, clear river.

"Roar!"

Sheng Gongbao's attacks became stronger each time, so much that Tang Rao found it increasingly hard to bear.

"Purple Crystal Beast!"

They all forced Tang Rao. There were already people at the mountaintop; dragging it out further would only increase Tang Rao's competition pressure with Bald and make it harder to deal with the crowd on the mountain.

"Ugly little leopard, come fight. If you beat my little cute one, I'll admit defeat unconditionally."

Tang Rao's confidence in the Purple Crystal Beast came from knowing a single step from it could crush Tang Rao.

The massive stature of the Purple Crystal Beast could dominate Sheng Gongbao. When Sheng Gongbao saw it, he didn't dare make a sound.

"Do you still want to fight?"

Tang Rao asked.

Initially, he communicated with the Purple Crystal Beast, asking it not to howl. Once it howled, everyone on the mountain could hear it.

By then, everyone's attention would turn to Tang Rao.

"Sheng Gongbao, go on, can you do it or not?"

Bald started to feel nervous.

Facing a monstrosity far superior to Sheng Gongbao, Sheng Gongbao faltered.

"Whimper!"

Sheng Gongbao began to retreat until he was beside Bald.

"Go on, you idiot! Weren't you quite awesome just now? How did you lose steam so quickly?"

Bald wished he could scold Sheng Gongbao. Was this what the old Bald gave Bald as a killer weapon?

At such a moment, Sheng Gongbao started to play dead. Did he want to lose face?

Sheng Gongbao was already angry, and Bald kept scolding in front of him; in fury, he directly tossed Bald into a slightly deeper pool.

"Oh, internal conflict! Truly thrilling. How about I send you a friendly keepsake?"

As soon as Sheng Gongbao backed down, Tang Rao immediately stashed the Purple Crystal Beast away to avoid being seen.

The road ahead didn't require a Divine Beast. If Tang Rao sped up slightly, he could quickly reach the summit.

The summit was crowded, but there was nothing there.

Reaching the summit didn't guarantee getting what one wanted, but apart from the people, Tang Rao saw nothing special.

"Buddy, what's the deal with reaching the summit? Why do I see you all relaxing here? Is there some special rule?"

Tang Rao almost got taken for a fool when he asked this.

"First time here, you may be a bit clueless. Wait till your second time, and you'll be smarter."

The man told Tang Rao.

Once again ridiculed without getting an explanation, Tang Rao found it hard to bear.

"Buddy, tell me."

Tang Rao asked again, but the others ignored him, which was understandable. If they told Tang Rao now, he'd know everything, reducing their chances of gaining anything.

"Brother Lin, look at you. The stronger you are, the pettier you become. This fellow just came up to broaden his horizons, clearly not here to steal anything from you, so why not enlighten him?"

Yeah, Tang Rao just wanted to broaden his horizons, so why treat him like a knowledge thief?

"Brother, this is the Holy Mother's domain. By opening the mountain, she welcomes distant friends as guests. Reaching the summit tests one's strength, but it doesn't mean you'll be received by the Holy Mother. Only those she takes a fancy to are brought into her valley, where countless treasures abound. With the Holy Mother's permission, you can choose freely, or even have your wishes fulfilled by her."

Tang Rao was stunned.

"Then I heard previously about ranking, but now it seems unnecessary?"

No need for ranking; with Bald not reaching the summit, how could Tang Rao and Bald compete?

"It's needed, but the Holy Mother decides how to rank. In the past, there have been battles of strength and knowledge. Each year varies, and we never know in advance."

This was new to Tang Rao; he had never heard of it before.

"Tang Rao, I'm going to kill you."

As Tang Rao was learning from someone more experienced, suddenly, a person rushed out, threatening to kill Tang Rao, disrupting the previously harmonious atmosphere, turning it into a mess due to Bald's interference.

"Little Bald, this is the summit, with the Holy Mother watching. Such a sacred place isn't where you act out!"

Tang Rao had long sensed a woman's fragrance, almost embarrassed to admit his acute sensitivity since childhood. Otherwise, how else could he have known the Holy Mother was around?

"Do you think a few words will affect me? My master's power, a mere Holy Mother, wouldn't concern him in the slightest. Why should I be afraid?"
