The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1275 - 1274: Tang Xiaobai Goes Missing

Others might not be aware of the backing behind Zhou Yong, but Liu Yu knows very well. Tang Rao might not know who Zhou Yong is, but Liu Yu does; Zhou Yong, this big shot whom Liu Yu held in such high regard, fearing any mistake, ended up getting punched into the ground by Tang Rao. Zhou Yong will likely live in fear from now on, wanting to flee whenever he sees Tang Rao."Tang Rao, do you know who he is? If you kill him, you, my father, and my entire Liu Family are finished."

Liu Yu promptly rushed out to stop Tang Rao's actions.

Nobody can kill this person. At least none present at the scene can take his life, unless they're courting disaster.

"Oh, so he's such a big deal? If you knew that provoking him would ruin your whole Liu Family, why would you stay so close to him?"

Tang Rao asked without thinking.

Exactly, if you already guessed the dangers of this person, you shouldn't maintain such close ties with him.

Tang Rao withdrew his hand, and Zhou Yong struggled to climb out of the dirt mound.

From their brief encounter, Zhou Yong swiftly realized he was no match for Tang Rao. Even though they were both mid-tier gods, Tang Rao's power was significantly greater than Zhou Yong's.

Zhou Yong, eager for a momentary thrill, found he was no opponent for Tang Rao.

Ignoring Liu Yu, Zhou Yong fled the scene the moment he emerged from the mound, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Liu Yu, relieved nonetheless, was thankful that Zhou Yong didn't die when with Liu Yu. Liu Yu was satisfied as long as Zhou Yong didn't seek revenge against him because of Tang Rao.

"This guy's like a turtle, no—a cowardly turtle. Why flee so fast? I'm not planning to kill you."

Tang Rao sighed.

He indeed had no intention of killing Zhou Yong. An underwhelming second-generation rich boy wasn't worth Tang Rao personally dealing with.

"What are you still standing here for, planning something? Want me to let you experience being a mole too?"

Liu Yu dared not curse Tang Rao head-on—Zhou Yong was his cautionary tale. Seeing Zhou Yong's miserable state, all Liu Yu could think of was escaping.

He fled too, but Tang Rao let Liu Yu go on purpose. This clumsy kid wasn't even half as good as Liu Tao, and Tang Rao couldn't see any use in keeping him around.

"Tang Rao, Xiao Bai is missing!"

While Tang Rao pondered life's philosophy, chaos erupted in the Gentle Village.

Moments before, the ladies greeting him with smiles now wore mournful faces, placing all their hopes on Tang Rao.

"What? Where did Tang Xiaobai go missing?"

Without another word, Tang Rao rushed into the Gentle Village, to the third floor. Li Shengxuan was already faint from crying on the small bed where Tang Xiaobai had been sleeping.

"It was this room. Sheng Xuan saw Xiao Bai asleep and, noticing nothing warm enough in the room, went next door to ask for a blanket. But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Bai disappeared."

The doors and windows were intact, just minus a person. Tang Rao couldn't fathom where Tang Xiaobai could have gone in such a short time.

"Clear the Gentle Village. Leave no corner unchecked on these floors."

In such little time, who could take someone away so stealthily?

Unless they had considerable strength, otherwise how did none of the Supreme Powers notice?

With Tu Hongxiu leading, several women accompanied Kao Shan Sect's skilled fighters, starting a search around the area.

Looking for a child, there were plenty of people in the Gentle Village. Tang Rao opened the window to begin searching around for Tang Xiaobai's whereabouts.

If he didn't come in through the door, could it be through the window?

If someone had phased through the wall, the Divine Power fluctuation would have drawn attention. Jumping off the wall seemed like the best option.

Tang Rao jumped to the base of the wall and found one of Tang Xiaobai's socks there.

The kidnapper must have been in a rush, leaving no time to notice the lost sock.

Tang Rao almost wanted the Gentle Village folks to stop searching, thinking the child wasn't inside after all. But then another thought struck—what if this sock was a decoy? Perhaps the child was still in the Gentle Village, not taken away at all. Tang Rao weighed these conflicting thoughts but ultimately chose to split up for the search.

"Supreme Power, come search outside with me for Xiao Bai."

Tang Rao enlisted the help of Supreme Power. Someone who could take a child so unnoticed must have considerable strength.

Tang Rao wanted to search on his own, but what if they were a formidable opponent? With Supreme Power, it would add a layer of security.

Supreme Power jumped from the window, landing directly on the ground.

He advised Tang Rao to stay put, using Immortal Energy to sweep through the surrounding grass, revealing the footprints.

"The footprints lead southwest."

Supreme Power stated with confidence.

Although Tang Rao didn't know how he knew, he had always trusted Supreme Power's words implicitly.

Southwest?

Heading southwest, Tang Rao pondered what could be in that direction. Perhaps an enemy of his he'd forgotten about?

Yet he realized he had never been southwest; what enemy could be there?

"Supreme Power, can you now determine which direction southwest?"

Tang Rao grew anxious, pressing Supreme Power for more details, but Supreme Power had nothing more to disclose.

"Can't determine."

This was the truth; Supreme Power hadn't even told Tang Rao about the kidnapper's strength, which might even surpass Supreme Power himself.

Now wasn't the time to scare Tang Rao further; any word of it would've sent him into shock!

"Tang Rao, let's go check. The southwest is complicated; you should mentally prepare."

See, that's why Supreme Power knew those words couldn't be uttered.

Upon hearing them, Tang Rao tensed up even more, worried about any misfortune befalling Tang Xiaobai.

"Damn it, if I find out who took Tang Xiaobai, I'll teach them a lesson on the spot!"

A new father like Tang Rao had a fire within, almost igniting his eyebrows in rage.

"Tang Rao, stay calm; getting worked up ruins everything. We'll deal with it when we get there."

Supreme Power had a bad feeling but couldn't pinpoint the source. The southwest was a realm for demons and gods, a place for the strong—Tang Rao shouldn't even be interference.

They finally reached the southwest corner's gate; as they approached, Tang Rao was stopped.

"Who are you?"

On Tang Rao's turf, he'd dismiss these guards with a, "Why do you care who I am?" But now wasn't the time for bravado; Tang Rao had to bow his head.
