The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1215 - 1214: Braised Pork Offal

The Little World belongs to Tang Rao. How dare the Purple Crystal Beast disrespect Tang Rao? Tang Rao could destroy the whole Little World; a mere Divine Beast wasn't worth his attention."Big guy, let me ask you, how many people have you beaten so far?"

Tang Rao could tell the big guy was unusually strong.

"I don't know, I haven't fought anyone."

The Purple Crystal Beast was simple-minded; aside from eating, it had no other hobbies. Eat people? It had only ever seen Tang Rao!

"How about I take you to find out?"

Tang Rao's words sparked the Purple Crystal Beast's intense curiosity.

"Thank you, Master."

The Purple Crystal Beast was still wary of Tang Rao, but the title of master scored some points for him.

"But before we head out, you need to spar with me first."

Tang Rao was just lamenting not having a training partner; this big guy looked like a great sparring partner.

"Spar with you?"

The big guy had no idea what Tang Rao was thinking; a yawn could send Tang Rao flying, and a real fight might tear him to pieces.

"I know you're strong, but it's just sparring, right? You wouldn't go all out on me, right?"

"No, I can fight you, but sparring would make you complacent because I wouldn't go all out."

The Purple Crystal Beast had a point.

Potential only emerges in life-or-death situations, and using the Purple Crystal Beast as a mere sparring tool wouldn't unleash its potential.

"Then consider me your enemy, like someone trying to steal your Purple Crystal."

Tang Rao imagined while describing to the Purple Crystal Beast.

Someone trying to steal the Purple Crystal Beast's Purple Crystal? Absurds!

"Want to steal my Purple Crystal?"

The Purple Crystal Beast's most treasured item must be its Purple Crystal; anyone trying to take it must die.

The Purple Crystal Beast struck at Tang Rao, well, not struck, but swiped.

It only used one of its eight claws before Tang Rao was knocked down.

What a humiliation! Tang Rao had never been so shamed.

"Stop hitting; no one wants your Purple Crystal. I'm your master."

Tang Rao used all his strength to save his life.

"Master, you told me to strike."

The Purple Crystal Beast felt extremely aggrieved.

Provoked to defend its Purple Crystal, the beast almost lost its mind. When it regained clarity, the Purple Crystal Beast was already lying on the ground.

"It's alright, you did well, I really admire you."

Tang Rao said it while still tasting blood in his mouth.

"Really, you truly admire me?"

The Purple Crystal Beast was overjoyed; it pressed a paw on Tang Rao, trying to bond. Tang Rao could clearly tell it seemed like it wanted to finish him off completely.

"Big guy, how about lifting your foot first? Press any harder, and I'm done for."

Tang Rao had seen enough unfortunate and wrongful deaths; he didn't want to be one of those.

"Right, right, how did I forget?"

The Purple Crystal Beast quickly lifted its claw, realizing Tang Rao's chest had caved in.

"I didn't mean it... you're not dead, right?"

That's what worried the Purple Crystal Beast the most.

"If I die from these minor injuries, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

Though saying this, Tang Rao was still coughing up blood, assessing his own state.

"But you have both internal and external injuries, your stomach is bleeding too. Are you sure you won't die once all the blood is gone?"

The Purple Crystal Beast would concede if he survived despite that.

"What, my stomach is bleeding?"

Tang Rao lay sprawled on the ground. He had to bend to see his stomach, and the sight startled him.

The blood was indeed close to being drained, just like the Purple Crystal Beast said.

"What to do, if I die like this, I won't let you off even as a ghost."

The Purple Crystal Beast couldn't tell if Tang Rao meant he wouldn't let it off or himself.

Fortunately, Tang Rao was smart and immediately popped some Elixir Pills into his mouth, hoping one of them suited his needs.

Luck favored Tang Rao; he picked two right ones from the handful—one stopped bleeding, the other regenerated flesh.

"You're too strong; I'm no match for you yet."

The items in Tang Rao's Little World were too much for him; what kind of monstrous place was this Divine Realm?

"Few could beat me in the entire Divine Realm, I reckon."

The Purple Crystal Beast couldn't resist the feeling to boast, sensing it innately, not humbly.

"Aren't you a bit too narcissistic? The entire Divine Realm? Do you know how many experts there are, and how strong they are? Just because you beat me doesn't mean they aren't a match for you."

That could be considered disrespectful.

"But indeed, they aren't my match. If you don't believe me, I can challenge them."

The Purple Crystal Beast was agitated. It hated two things—someone taking its Purple Crystal and saying it was inferior. Tang Rao managed to offend on both counts, but it couldn't attack Tang Rao because if Tang Rao ceased to exist, so would the beast.

It existed as Tang Rao's vassal Divine Beast.

"I'll take you, but remember to follow my lead out there. Don't do anything you're not supposed to and only consume or defecate inside the Little World. Understand?"

No matter what Tang Rao said, the Purple Crystal Beast nodded obediently.

It was so compliant just to have a glimpse of the outside world.

After establishing some ground rules, Tang Rao left the Little World but didn't release the Purple Crystal Beast right away.

Such a fierce being was reserved as Tang Rao's trump card for when an imposing presence was needed.

When Tang Rao woke up again, his room was filled with the smell of pig offal.

Those scents were both strange and familiar; back when Fang Jinxiu lived in the Land of Immortals, there had been plenty of braised pig offal.

"Jinxiu? Fang Jinxiu?"

Tang Rao called twice, finally summoning Fang Jinxiu inside.

"Jinxiu, you're not seriously thinking of having braised pig offal even in the Divine Realm, are you?"

Tang Rao looked troubled; the dish made him gag every time, despite Fang Jinxiu's enjoyment.

"Just a little. I haven't had it in so long; the Divine Realm's food has no taste."

Fang Jinxiu looked at Tang Rao pitifully, making it hard for him to say anything harsh.

"Fine, I didn't say anything, you enjoy."

Unable to stomach it, Tang Rao held his nose to endure it.

"Want some? It's really quite good."
