The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1239 - 1238: Flee for Your Life

How could the Guardian Stone Snake not think of asking the ancestors?Looking at how it had been in the cave for so many years, why was it not as sharp-witted as before?

"I'll ask now, but if you're deceiving me, you'll pay for it."

Surprisingly, the Guardian Stone Snake slowly began to believe Tang Rao's words, and for the first time in many years, it contacted the Snake Clan.

In their unique way of communication, the Guardian Stone Snake soon had an answer in its heart.

"Well, is there a way?"

Tang Rao asked.

The Guardian Stone Snake took out the stone behind it and said to Tang Rao.

"This is the Divine Stone I have guarded for a hundred thousand years. You can place your hand on it; if you are truly the Supreme Deity, the stone will emit a kaleidoscope of light. If you are not, the moment you touch the stone, you will vanish into ashes. Do you dare to try?"

The family indeed spoke of this, and there was not a bit of exaggeration in the statement.

"Of course I dare, shall I try it now?"

It's just a stone; Tang Rao didn't feel any peculiar feature from it.

He just thought that with this stone, he would have greater potential in the future.

Don't ask how Tang Rao knew, because when he said he might have a sixth sense, the whole world didn't believe it.

The Guardian Stone Snake handed the stone to Tang Rao.

As a generational guardian, only they could touch the stone without incident.

Before touching the stone, Tang Rao kept thinking that the stone wouldn't have any issues, he even considered that he might not be the Supreme Deity, and it must have been someone else making a mistake.

But Tang Rao still wanted the stone, and under the gaze of the Guardian Stone Snake, Tang Rao stepped closer to the stone, closed his eyes, steeled himself, and placed his right hand directly on the stone.

One second, two seconds, not only Tang Rao, but even the Guardian Stone Snake couldn't help but hold its breath.

Tang Rao waited for a long time; there was no strange pain on his body, nor the imagined feeling of disappearing into ashes. He opened his eyes and saw the Divine Stone first emit a slight seven-colored beam, which initially was very faint, and then it became brighter and more noticeable, until later, the beam burst through the cave and shot straight into the sky.

From where he was, probably others also saw the light, right?

"Not good, take the stone and leave quickly!"

The Guardian Stone Snake had a very bad premonition.

Ordinary people wouldn't know what the seven-colored beam represented, but the Guardian Stone Snake knew; didn't this beam signify the emergence of the Supreme Deity?

Surely more and more people would learn of the Supreme Deity's emergence and begin to stir.

Initially disrespectful of Tang Rao, the Guardian Stone Snake's attitude changed because Tang Rao's status changed.

The Guardian Stone Snake needed to protect the stone; with the Supreme Deity's appearance, it should safeguard the Supreme Deity.

Tang Rao, reminded by the Guardian Stone Snake, immediately knew what to do.

He started trying to contact Wu Suowei, who had also seen the light just now.

Knowing training couldn't continue, Wu Suowei immediately shut down the system and teleported Tang Rao back.

Not long after Tang Rao left, the Guardian Stone Snake erased all traces of Tang Rao's scent and was relieved to wait for someone to come looking.

Tang Rao had enough time to escape, but for the Guardian Stone Snake to cover for him and then try to leave swiftly was utterly impossible.

"Where's the person just now? Who was it?"

Several people wearing black robes appeared in the cave; the Guardian Stone Snake curled itself up, and no matter how they pointed their swords at the Guardian Stone Snake's head and body, it didn't shrink back from the oppressors.

"I don't know who you're talking about; perhaps you've got the wrong snake."

The Guardian Stone Snake steadfastly denied seeing anyone; the men in black noticed that the stone beside the Guardian Stone Snake had already disappeared.

How could they be so careless? Even though they regularly came to check if the stone was still there, they hadn't guarded against others coming.

"Is that so, really don't know, or are you trying to protect someone? I think you're willing to give up your life to shield that person."

The men in black were already angry because the stone had been taken, and the Guardian Stone Snake's denial made them see it no different from a dog.

"Ask all you want, but I don't know, kill me if you can."

The Guardian Stone Snake was prepared for the worst. It couldn't win against the men in black, and fighting them was like an egg hitting a rock.

"Kill you?"

The men in black found the Guardian Stone Snake very loyal; when they struck, they were straightforward, cutting the Guardian Stone Snake into two.

At the weak spot, the Guardian Stone Snake's body and head were severed, and the mission it had stood by for hundreds of thousands of years came to an end. When it closed its eyes, it went peacefully.

Tang Rao returned to the Practice Room, not only him, but even Wu Suowei was panting heavily; evidently, he too was quite scared.

"Kid, what luck do you have? Thank goodness I was always watching your every move; otherwise, you'd be done for."

Wu Suowei had worked hard to find Tang Rao and nearly lost him by sending Tang Rao for training, which almost cost him his life.

"Not finished, just wondering what happened to the Guardian Stone Snake."

Tang Rao was still concerned about the Guardian Stone Snake's whereabouts.

Wu Suowei said with a look of regret, "Don't think about it; why do you think the Guardian Stone Snake wanted you to leave in such a hurry? The multicolored beam had long exposed the cave's location, and as you left, others looking for the stone arrived. To protect your whereabouts, the Guardian Stone Snake had already been killed by the men in black."

When he mentioned the Guardian Stone Snake's death, Wu Suowei let out a deep sigh.

"Ah, is it dead?"

Tang Rao didn't think the Guardian Stone Snake would die protecting his whereabouts; wasn't it planning to settle old scores with Tang Rao before, and now it had died shielding him, Tang Rao felt a pang of guilt.

"It's dead."

Wu Suowei had long predicted that on Tang Rao's path to ascension and claiming the Supreme Deity's seat, countless sacrifices would be made. The sacrifices of those before would pave the way for Tang Rao, the successor.

"Master, didn't you say I couldn't leave until I met the target? How come I'm out now?"

Tang Rao was puzzled.

"If the Practice Room gets destroyed, you can come out."

Talking about the systems in his Practice Room being destroyed, Wu Suowei still felt a bit discomforted.

"You said destroyed? It wasn't your conscience that made you let me out?"

Such a wonderful place, where you could go anywhere and find good things, Tang Rao didn't believe that Wu Suowei would destroy the remarkable Practice Room just because Tang Rao needed to come out.

"Between an insignificant Practice Room and the future Supreme Deity, the choice is clear, and surely you understand it better than I do."

Wu Suowei opened up the Practice Room, which was now a useless empty space. There was no reason for him to stay there any longer.

"Master, if the Practice Room is gone, I'll compensate with a better one in the future."

Tang Rao felt apologetic, and he followed Wu Suowei wanting Wu Suowei to heed his explanation.
