The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1195 - 1194: Jealousy

Setting up a magical barrier isn't something simple; if Tang Rao really wanted to create a barrier so impressive everyone would envy it, he still hadn't thought of who to seek out."Boss, Array Masters from the Divine Realm don't usually make appearances easily. If you really want help, I think the girl you brought back might be able to assist you."

Lao Zhang gave Tang Rao a suggestion, but Tang Rao didn't understand what Lao Zhang meant.

"Lao Zhang, how can that woman help me? It's already good enough if she doesn't cause me trouble. I'd better figure it out myself."

Lao Zhang shook his head upon hearing this.

He didn't agree with Tang Rao.

"Figure it out yourself? Do you even know that the Qin Family is famous for their Arrays? Their Arrays are nearly impossible to break for anyone below a deity, but that's assuming you have enough Purple Crystals. Otherwise, no matter how talented an Array Master is, without the raw materials, they can't help you even if they wreck their brains."

Lao Zhang had always admired the Qin Family's patriarch's Array arrangements. His dream, from thousands of years ago, was to become an Array Master like the old man. No, even if he could just have half of the old man's abilities, he would be satisfied.

Lao Zhang giving advice to Tang Rao about the Qin Family was also something of a coincidence.

"I'm not short of Purple Crystals; as long as he can do it, I'll give as many Purple Crystals as needed. But Qing Qing, that woman, I really don't want to owe her any favors."

Tang Rao was still conflicted in his heart.

"Boss, actually the girl you brought back is really nice, has a good heart; I just don't get why you have such a big issue with her."

Lao Zhang dared to speak like this because he clearly didn't know Tang Rao's troubles. He hadn't seen how Qin Qing had dumped all the blame on Tang Rao, with rumors like how Tang Rao did atrocious things to her, how Qin Qing was hopelessly devoted to Tang Rao. Just thinking about it made Tang Rao involuntarily quiver.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, don't mention her to me. You don't know how over-the-top that damn woman can be. In a few days, I'll take you to experience it yourself, and you'll understand why I reject her."

"Who's the damn woman? Who are you saying you're taking him to see?"

Tang Rao shut his mouth, a familiar female voice from behind him caught his attention.

"Of course, I'm talking about Qin Qing, that damn woman."

One of the scariest things is an unexpected silence.

Tang Rao realized he'd misspoken even before turning around.

"Oh, talking about me, huh?"

Qin Qing seized Tang Rao's ear and twisted it around.

"Did anyone at your place ever tell you not to badmouth people behind their backs?"

Tang Rao didn't have parents, how would he know about this?

"Sis, I was just joking with the bros, don't take it to heart, huh?"

Even if she did take it to heart, wouldn't it be great if she didn't hold a grudge?

Tang Rao's ear burned, but he couldn't retaliate.

Everything was his own doing, he should take responsibility for it.

"What, just let those words slide?"

Qin Qing didn't care if Li Qi Qi was present or not. As long as her anger hadn't subsided, no one could have peace.

"What else, how about you cuss back? I promise not to talk back, is that okay?"

For the first time, Tang Rao deeply felt that his mouth wasn't made for eating and talking but for getting him into trouble.

"Of course not, I'm a person who always holds grudges. If someone treats me badly, I won't let them feel good. Since you spoke of me, I have to speak for myself."

Qin Qing's domineering attitude was something even Li Qi Qi had no way to handle.

"So, what do you want? As long as it's within my means, I'll pay for my mistake. But if your demands are outrageous, do whatever you want, say what you will, I won't care."

Li Qi Qi's face visibly darkened.

Her man was being bullied by a complete stranger, and she didn't even have the ability to protect Tang Rao, wasn't it pathetic?

"My idea is simple, have my dad set up an Array for your Kao Shan Sect; you provide the needed Purple Crystals, how about that?"

Qin Qing said it as if it was only natural.

Tang Rao thought he had misheard Li Qi Qi.

"You're saying let your dad set up an Array for me?"

Could there really be such a good deal?

Usually, to find an Array Master, Tang Rao would almost scratch his head off, and now someone was offering it to him directly. He should be happy.

But he couldn't be.

After all, the words came from Qin Qing, and the credibility was greatly reduced.

"Yes, although my dad's Arrays aren't as good as my grandpa's, he's still quite reputable around this island. Some people couldn't invite him even if they wanted to, so don't be ungrateful."

Ungrateful?

Whatever Tang Rao said was wrong, so he decided not talking might be best?

"Qin Qing, what's your game? Why don't you say it directly, so we avoid beating around the bush? Do we really have no trust at all between us?"

Tang Rao glanced at Qin Qing, then guiltily at Li Qi Qi. Both women didn't seem pleased.

"Alright, I'll be honest. I'm naturally inclined to do good deeds, believe it or not, but I'm saying it now. I'm offering to help you, and if I change my mind later, you won't have a chance even if you beg on your knees."

One must admit, Qin Qing was a deep thinker; he really couldn't grasp her thoughts.

"I'll agree to your dad setting up the Array for me, but if you have any ulterior motives, don't blame me for turning my back; then you'll end up embarrassed."

Tang Rao harshly stated his position, to which Qin Qing hurriedly nodded, having no objection to this point.

"It's settled then. I'll go back now and tell my dad, have him check the feng shui around your place. If everything's good, he'll set up the Array for you soon."

"Sis, for once what you've said seems decent, but consider if you were close-minded and insisted on a life-and-death struggle with me, I'd definitely deal with you harshly, and wouldn't even leave an intact corpse."

Qin Qing was too terrified to linger a moment longer.

After Qin Qing left, Li Qi Qi came to Tang Rao, holding onto his sleeve and unwilling to let go.

"What is it, did I scare you just now?"

Tang Rao just watched Li Qi Qi, who became so shy that she lowered her head to stare at the ground.

"That woman touched you, got close to you, I don't like it when there's too much intimate contact between you and her."

That woman and Li Qi Qi cared for Tang Rao similarly; Li Qi Qi was right in her thoughts. The issue is they had no real connection, so why should she so casually touch Tang Rao?

"I didn't notice just now, next time... there won't be a next time."

Tang Rao was meticulous when it came to consoling Li Qi Qi.
