The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1403 - 1402: Arrogance

"Give me the antidote."The Song Family Master stiffened his neck, looking embarrassed as he spoke to Tang Rao.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Tang Rao pretended he hadn't heard a thing.

Just because he mentioned antidote, he expects Tang Rao to solve it? What does he think of Tang Rao?

"Forget it, I think Xiaoxiao has been doing quite well on her own."

Mr. Song suddenly changed his tone; just freed from the Binding Immortal Rope, he seemed eager to be tied up again.

"Xiaoxiao doing well? Old man, I must say, you're so indecisive, treating your daughter's marriage as a game. Be careful or your daughter and son-in-law won't support you in your old age!"

Tang Rao wasn't just scaring Mr. Song. If he had a father-in-law like this, he wouldn't just not support him; he'd be gracious not to deal him a blow.

"Father-in-law, you promised earlier to let me be with Xiaoxiao. How can you go back on your word?"

Was Father-in-law just trying to give Zhang Yishan false hope?

"Tang Rao won't give me the antidote. Didn't you promise Tang Rao would agree to help?"

The Song Family Master was quite stubborn. His thoughts and words often did not match; though he thought that Tang Rao could help, his attitude toward Tang Rao wasn't good, but looking at Tang Rao's exceedingly irritating face, his temper flared up.

"Father-in-law, you see, the boss must be joking with you. He likes to joke around, so don't take it too seriously."

Humph!

The Song Family Master snorted, making it clear to everyone he wasn't happy.

"Some people are bizarre; they clearly receive such great help, yet act like others owe them. Karma will catch up with these wrongdoers; see, even offending a lifesaver is a perfectly foolish thing to do."

Tang Rao criticized the Song Family Master again. Though he didn't name him directly, it was enough to make the Song Family Master lose face.

"Boss, do me a favor, let's calm down and stop arguing."

With the boss and father-in-law arguing, Zhang Yishan found it hard to support either side, stuck in the middle like the filling in a sandwich.

"Fine, for the sake of your son-in-law, I'll give you the antidote. But if you go back on your word, just know that if I can give you the antidote, I can give a cycle of poison like I did with An Sheng—poisoning you to the point of doubting your life."

Taking out a bright green elixir pill, Tang Rao flicked it with his middle and index fingers; before the Song Family Master realized it, the pill was already in his mouth.

"Don't be suspicious. I'm only proving my strength. Also, you only get one chance to be arrogant. Try again next time, and don't blame me for being unkind."

No one could act arrogant in front of Tang Rao, and the Song Family Master was no exception.

"You brat!"

The Song Family Master could only manage those words; the rest, aside from swallowing it, left him feeling helpless.

"Alright, this elixir pill should be sent to Song Xiaoxiao. I'm off to deal with your troublesome housekeeper; the remaining issues you'll have to resolve yourself."

Tang Rao spoke earnestly to Zhang Yishan.

"Boss, I'm afraid that won't work. I mentioned earlier if you can save my father-in-law and Xiaoxiao's lives, the entire Zhang Family would be yours. So it seems the boss has to handle things personally; I'll be your assistant, doing the grunt work."

Anyway, Zhang Yishan preferred a simple life; the kind that requires no thinking was his favorite.

"When did I say I want your Zhang Family? It's only given me worries. I have no interest in receiving it. Heal your wife soon; greet the person who will integrate you into the Business Alliance, and spare me from some stress—that's considering my feelings."

The Song Family Master listened to Tang Rao's words like he was sleepwalking.

He must have had some auditory hallucination to hear such news of Tang Rao rejecting the Zhang Family.

This brat sure has a cocky attitude, but he has the skills to back it up, so no wonder he fears nothing.

Zhang Yishan followed the Song Family Master back to the Song Family; with Tang Rao backing him, he feared not the Song Family Master's reneging again.

Tang Rao didn't leave the Zhang Family immediately; he quickly found the housekeeper, who was enjoying himself, deeply rooted among beauties, oblivious even as Tang Rao approached him.

"A mere housekeeper with the strength of a high-level upper god, it's no wonder Old Man Zhang fell at your hands."

Tang Rao's words were like bombs, making the housekeeper tremble in fear.

"Tang Rao?"

Just the name Tang Rao could make the housekeeper tremble in his boots.

"Not bad, you still remember your Grandpa Tang Rao. At least Grandpa Tang Rao let you live a few extra days."

Tang Rao was nearly killed by Zhang Wei initially. Fortunately, he was fast enough to save his own life; though he survived the second encounter, killing Zhang Wei, the housekeeper remained a mysterious figure.

"Tang Rao, do you think your life is too long?"

The housekeeper stood from among the myriad beauties, got dressed, buttoned up, put on his boots, and slowly approached Tang Rao.

Talking so arrogantly, it seemed he had met an extraordinary master; even so... similar to him, just in the high level of upper god, with not as solid a foundation.

The housekeeper had eaten meals for hundreds of years more than Tang Rao; it's hardly likely that his strength was inferior, as strength wasn't solely based on luck—it also relies partly on foundation.

"No problem, while my strength may be a bit low, we young folks naturally love to compete, enjoy vying with you old folks. If I win, it'll be a feather in my cap; if I lose, chalk it up to youthful exuberance, gaining insight as I go!"

Tang Rao covered every potential excuse; he was determined to speak until the housekeeper surrendered in both mind and words.

"So you want a match against me?"

The housekeeper was indifferent. Tang Rao was a newcomer to the Divine Realm—providing lessons to newbies served as a reminder that Tang Rao wasn't the only dominant force; he remained just a rookie.

"Come on, let's have a duel! You won't suffer any losses or deception. Defeating a sect leader gives you face, right?"

Looking for trouble?

Tang Rao was the epitome of seeking trouble!

"Since you're eager to seek trouble, I'll fulfill your wish."

The housekeeper unleashed a Hand Palm Bomb at Tang Rao, the fiery red orb blinding Tang Rao's eyes.

"Geez, you're that old, yet you play assassination tricks against me. Isn't that bullying? You're intentionally trying to use a cheap move to kill me, right? I knew you had this tactic, but now I understand—you can't finish me off."

Tang Rao appeared unaffected, wearing a smug expression that infuriated the housekeeper.

Initially, aiming for a swift resolution, he unleashed a Quick Hand Palm Bomb. Still, due to sluggish speed, it didn't achieve its purpose as Tang Rao evaded successfully.

"You've got quite the luck there, young man, certainly worthy of that arrogance."

Even both being high-level upper gods, the housekeeper's strength still surpassed Tang Rao's. Yet, at this moment, he couldn't help viewing Tang Rao with newfound respect.

"Just average, nothing extraordinary. You praise me so much; I might get embarrassed."

Bah, Tang Rao had the thickest skin of all. If he got embarrassed, who wouldn't?
