The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1202 - 1201: Chen Tuan Critically Ill

Just as Tu Hongxiu said, Tang Xiaobai couldn't help but start laughing as soon as he saw Tang Rao."Everyone knows how hard it is for a dad to come back just once, so they treat me nicely, unlike you all. Seeing me back, you don't ask how I'm doing. Instead, there's noise and chaos, not harmonious at all."

Tang Rao's movements were so gentle when he received Tang Xiaobai from Li Shengxuan, unlike anything before; it was his first time holding a baby, and he feared squeezing too hard and hurting Tang Xiaobai's bones.

"Tang Rao, you need to hold the child's neck and waist; the child doesn't have the strength yet."

Having more women around is indeed helpful, at least when it comes to taking care of kids, it's not that hard.

"Ladies, I found a way to traverse the Divine Realm, but I'm unsure if I can take someone with me. Who among you wants to try it with me?"

This was a tremendous attempt. Tang Rao had no idea if it would succeed. Finding a common person to try would waste the opportunity. Trying it with a wife might lead to accidents; neither seemed like a good plan, leaving Tang Rao suddenly perplexed.

"Tang Rao, I'll go with you. After all, it's not the first time I've faced challenges with you."

Fang Jinxiu was the first to step forward. Back when traveling from Blue Star to the Land of Immortals, Fang Jinxiu had her soul stripped and placed into the portable palace by Tang Rao. This time, she dared to do with Tang Rao what she hadn't dared to attempt before.

"Jinxiu, have you decided?"

Tang Rao knew that Fang Jinxiu was always a person who meant what she said. Once she spoke, she had certainly made up her mind.

"Tang Rao, you know I'm not joking with you."

Fang Jinxiu's eyes were filled with determination.

"Jinxiu, it's better if I go. I'm stronger than you, and if something happens, it doesn't matter. If there's really no problem, you can go next time, how about it?"

Tu Hongxiu was quite worried about Fang Jinxiu.

"Hong Xiu, let Jinxiu go. As you said, you're stronger and can protect them."

Tang Rao thought it over and finally chose Fang Jinxiu to go with him.

"Tang Rao, are you leaving again?"

You Xiaoxiao blinked, seemingly wanting to have a word with Tang Rao too.

But Tang Rao was busy discussing matters about the Divine Realm and teasing Tang Xiaobai, not noticing You Xiaoxiao's presence.

"Well, since you're looking at me with such a pitiful gaze, I'll pamper you tonight then."

Tang Rao spoke daringly, causing everyone to look at You Xiaoxiao and making her blush with embarrassment.

"Tang Rao, you're such a pervert."

He directly put You Xiaoxiao in the spotlight, making her become the imaginary enemy among several sisters.

"Don't you like my perversion? I thought you liked it and wanted you to experience it tonight. Since you don't, shall we try something more literary?"

You Xiaoxiao really wanted to slap Tang Rao, to make him understand that while food can be eaten recklessly, words should not be spoken that way.

"Tang Rao, stop teasing Xiaoxiao. These days, your Grandmaster's health has been getting worse. If you have time, go see him, as he might not have much time left."

Tu Hongxiu came to You Xiaoxiao's rescue, but it also raised Tang Rao's anxiety.

"What, my Grandmaster doesn't have much time? What do you mean by that?"

Tang Rao's voice raised several degrees.

"Some days ago, Kao Shan Sect faced a calamity. Several of your predecessors teamed up to drive away the invaders, but they sacrificed themselves to protect Kao Shan Sect, leaving only Grandmaster Chen Tuan surviving. Even so, he was heavily injured."

During that dark time, Tu Hongxiu and others didn't tell Tang Rao. During that time, Tang Rao saw Tu Hongxiu and the other girls smiling and laughing every day, but he never realized those smiles were feigned, just to prevent him from worrying about their life in the Land of Immortals.

"You all take good care of Shengxuan and the child; I'm going to see Grandmaster."

Tang Rao rushed to Chen Tuan's place in one breath.

The weeds outside his house were already half a person's height, yet no one thought to come and help Chen Tuan with the weeding.

Tang Rao walked to the door and knocked.

The person who opened the door was Chen Ajiu, who used to be quite a beauty but had suddenly aged tens of thousands of years after something happened to Chen Tuan.

"Grandmaster, where is my Grandmaster?"

Tang Rao, burning with anxiety, looked inside.

"Tang Rao, why are you back? Your Grandmaster is resting inside; let's talk inside."

Chen Ajiu invited Tang Rao inside.

As soon as Tang Rao entered, he smelled a whiff of death energy.

This is the scent emitted before a person dies. Ordinary people can't smell death energy, but Tang Rao can.

It seems that Chen Tuan's illness is indeed as severe as Tu Hongxiu said to the extreme.

"Grandmaster, why is it that every time I see you in Illusion City, you never tell me about such significant injuries? Am I supposed to be the last one to know about these things?"

Tang Rao held Chen Tuan's hand, checked his pulse, and then released Xiao Bai Ginseng for a diagnosis. Soon, Xiao Bai Ginseng returned, and he clearly understood Chen Tuan's condition.

"Why did you refuse the medicine from your family all this time?"

The people of Kao Shan Sect couldn't possibly not want to provide medicine to Chen Tuan during such a difficult time, yet in Tang Rao's earlier examination, there was no trace of any medicine in Chen Tuan's body.

"I'm already a dying person, so what's the point of taking medicine? Let's not waste Kao Shan Sect's resources. Tang Rao, I thought I wouldn't see you before I died. I told them not to tell you just to avoid leaving you with regrets."

Chen Tuan spoke his heartfelt words to Tang Rao without reservation.

"Grandmaster, stop saying such nonsense. You're not going to die."

Tang Rao happened to have a sixth-grade Rejuvenation Pill with him. In the entire Land of Immortals, even fifth-grade Elixir Pills were scarce, almost extinct. A sixth-grade Elixir Pill appearing would cause a huge commotion.

Tang Rao didn't show off; he didn't even have time to think much, directly pushing the sixth-grade Rejuvenation Pill into Chen Tuan's mouth and helping him swallow it with internal energy.

Chen Tuan's body had been deteriorating and collapsing for some time. If it had been treated earlier, Tang Rao would have had a hundred percent confidence. However, now he felt only thirty percent sure, while the remaining seventy percent depended on Chen Tuan's will to live and his body's condition.

"Tang Rao, was what you just fed me a fifth-grade Immortal Elixir?"

A cool sensation reached Chen Tuan's Dantian, which had been heated for a long time. The sudden coolness brought him wild joy.

But to suppress the heat in his Dantian would require at least a fifth-grade Elixir Pill. He remembered, when Tang Rao left, he could only make fifth-grade Elixir Pills at most.

"No, Grandmaster, it's a sixth-grade Rejuvenation Pill."

The higher the grade of the Elixir Pill, the greater the chances of saving Chen Tuan. Tang Rao said this to completely reassure Chen Tuan and have him accept his treatment willingly.

"A sixth-grade Rejuvenation Pill? You can now refine sixth-grade Rejuvenation Pills; this truly brings pride to our Kao Shan Sect."

Tang Rao realized things weren't going well and quickly relieved Chen Tuan.
