The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 969: The Man Beneath the Starry Sky


"Earning Immortal Stones? Is there ever a time when you, Tang Rao, lack Immortal Stones?"

Thinking back and forth, Chen Tuan found it unbelievable.

"Last night, on the full moon, just when the millennial iris matured, you weren't in the Kao Shan Sect but went to King You Lan's underground palace. Thinking about how King You Lan previously seized the millennial iris, it's not hard to guess your purpose with him!"

Where the iris blooms once in a thousand years is none other than human genius Chen Tuan.

Everything Tang Rao did was within Chen Tuan's expectations; life in the Land of Immortals seemed intolerable now.

"Right, it must be King You Lan who told you. He's the type who loves to show off who treats me well. Look, just last night he helped me earn eight hundred million Immortal Stones, eight hundred million!"

That's equivalent to the income of a medium-sized sect.

The more Chen Tuan listened, the angrier he became.

Eight hundred million could make Tang Rao so happily show off, yet King You Lan is just Tang Rao's father-in-law. Can Tang Rao even differentiate importance?

"Here's ten billion Immortal Stones, just mere Immortal Stones, and you can be this happy!"

Chen Tuan despised this kind of behavior.

Tang Rao hadn't even reacted when a heavy ring already appeared in his palm.

The Space Ring is what Tang Rao truly loves.

Inside, the full ten billion Immortal Stones were there, not a piece less.

"Grandmaster, are these really left for me?"

Those things money couldn't buy Chen Tuan had indeed given plenty to Tang Rao when he came to the Land of Immortals.

Like Immortal Stones, giving away ten billion without a blink showed that Chen Tuan was putting his all into it.

"I want that old fellow to see just who's more generous!"

King You Lan wants to sway Tang Rao? Not a chance.

"Grandmaster's generosity, of course, Grandmaster is more generous."

Tang Rao put away the Space Ring and then, pretending nonchalant, said, "Aside from eight hundred million Immortal Stones, my father-in-law also gave me three millennial iris seeds."

He hesitated to speak, leaving Chen Tuan with endless imagination.

"What? He gave you the millennial iris seeds?"

Three seeds? The millennial iris only has three seeds!

As for the millennial iris's traits, Chen Tuan was aware.

"Yes, I still don't know what the millennial iris does. It just vanished unnoticed into my palm."

Tang Rao was still bewildered. After all, he hadn't even clearly seen the millennial iris seeds.

"That King You Lan, he's spent his life trying to surpass me, and this time I admit defeat!"

Someone who doesn't care for promotion opportunities anymore, how could Chen Tuan compete with him?

Chen Tuan sighed deeply, suddenly looking much older.

"Grandmaster, what exactly does the millennial iris do?"

If even Chen Tuan didn't know what Xiao Huo Shen was unsure of, Tang Rao wouldn't have any hope.

"You don't even know what a millennial iris is, yet you dare to accept recognition from it?"

How reckless!

Tang Rao was almost shocked into a cold sweat by Chen Tuan's words.

"Is there something extraordinary about the millennial iris?"

"You, you have none of the caution you had on Blue Star, believing whatever others say!"

Chen Tuan's disappointment showed through his tone of 'disappointment in iron not becoming steel.'

"The millennial iris is half good and half bad. Its benefits can make one envious, but its downsides may end your life!"

Why Chen Tuan went to Blue Star back then, to this day, he hasn't told Tang Rao.

"Do you know why I went to Blue Star?"

Chen Tuan didn't want to tell Tang Rao that the first time he went to Blue Star wasn't because of some Earth Shield; back then, he didn't even know Earth Shield.

"It's because when I forcibly took the millennial iris seeds, it backfired, and I had to use the Reincarnation Technique to save my life."

Pfft~

Tang Rao sprayed all the water in his mouth out.

"So, the millennial iris seeds didn't choose you as their master and almost took your life?"

Of course, that's how it happened.

"So now, are you starting to get scared?"

Fortunately, Tang Rao was fine, but from Chen Tuan's perspective, he absolutely wouldn't let Tang Rao follow in his footsteps.

"Not scared, I think I'm doing better than you. At least the millennial iris recognized me; it didn't recognize you back then!"

Finally, something to surpass Chen Tuan, a proud moment Tang Rao couldn't suppress inside.

"Sure, even if it didn't recognize me, can you be certain that after being recognized by the millennial iris, you can thrive in that tier?"

As it stands, with Tang Rao's current strength, he can't even defeat Chen Tuan; what would he amount to on another level?

"Grandmaster, let's leave it at this; we shall meet again!"

Even though being recognized by the millennial iris was something to boast about, Chen Tuan didn't praise Tang Rao for it, so what more could Tang Rao say?

Chen Tuan didn't leave him hanging any longer, grabbing Tang Rao to say, "Don't you want to know the true purpose of the millennial iris?"

Nobody knew the millennial iris as well as Chen Tuan did. Tang Rao missed this chance, and there'd be no future ones.

"I want to know, but only if you're willing to say. You're just like my father-in-law."

To Tang Rao, Chen Tuan was frankly of that poor an impression.

"Only those recognized by the millennial iris qualify to reach another tier. Back then, I wanted to go to that tier, but I was just one millennial iris seed short, and who knew I'd end up backfired against such a dreadful end."

It was quite pitiable to recount.

"So everyone there has been recognized by the millennial iris?"

Hearing this news, Tang Rao was shocked.

So the people on the grassland all knew the promotion opportunity through the millennial iris.

No wonder King You Lan wanted to kill off the remaining few by any means!

"Yes, the millennial iris is equivalent to a pass!"

Suddenly, Tang Rao wanted to find Chen Tuan a chance for the millennial iris's recognition.

"Grandmaster, how many irises are there in the Land of Immortals? How about I help you find an opportunity for recognition?"

Chen Tuan didn't expect Tang Rao to steer the conversation there.

"You think I haven't considered it? In the Land of Immortals, millennial irises are extremely rare. Finding ripe and suitable iris seeds is incredibly challenging."

You think everyone is as generous as King You Lan, easily offering such an opportunity, without batting an eye.

"It's not difficult; there will be more chances in the future."

As long as Chen Tuan nodded, no matter how many obstacles lay before him, Tang Rao would be willing to face them.

"If there is a chance."

He hesitated.

"There will definitely be a chance."

It was as if he were making a promise to Chen Tuan and reinforcing his conviction.

After speaking, Tang Rao headed to the back mountain.

For some reason, he felt heavily burdened.

Recently, he'd had too much idle time, almost forgetting his original purpose in the Land of Immortals.

Wasn't it agreed to dominate the Land of Immortals, to become the one at the top? So what now? He's had too many peaceful days, almost forgetting who he was.

"I am Tang Rao; my dream is to become the most formidable person under the starry sky. I must not forget!"
