The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1558 - 1557: Digging Deeper

Bullshit!Tang Rao is fine with anyone being a gunner, but when Cha Xiangzi comes, Tang Rao is the least at ease.

"At ease? You better make sure the first shot impresses me!"

Before Tang Rao could say anything about the first shot, it flew out directly, hitting Old Master Qin before he even had time to react.

The people of Tingzhou witnessed the power of the cannon for the first time.

They had seen Martial Arts emitted from people and the power of those arts. However, the activation of Martial Arts depends on time, place, and harmony. This thing Tang Rao showed felt like anyone could fire it easily.

"Boss, did you see the small cannon I fired just now? I aimed precisely and hit the target directly."

Where he aimed, yellow sand was now swirling, and within a stick of incense time, nothing could be seen there.

Fortunately, those watching the fun knew that standing with Old Master Qin would not end well, so as the Zijing City Gate opened, they each chose a spot far from Old Master Qin and with an excellent viewing angle.

They recorded the most spectacular scene of the small cannon's birth with Illusion City. Thanks to their good intentions, everyone in Illusion City began to share it. Some believed that with such a powerful thing, they could surely be invincible. Others thought that once this Divine Artifact is born, apart from the Kao Shan Sect, other families would be swallowed, making Tang Rao the overlord of North Island and eventually the entire Divine Realm. So, it was crucial to unite and take down Tang Rao before his power truly took shape.

No matter what place or amazing thing appears, it will always have supporters and detractors. Tang Rao was long used to this.

As the incense stick burned out, the scene ahead gradually became clear.

Where there were once houses, now there was nothing but a large pit.

No, there was also Old Master Qin's corpse.

Just one small cannon took out Old Master Qin without any other weapons even being deployed; this game couldn't even be continued.

"Look, is Old Master Qin really dead? I saw it with my own eyes, one Martial Art went over, and he was dead. What Martial Art was that just now, why was it so powerful?"

Tang Rao checked and confirmed that Old Master Qin was indeed dead.

Tang Rao, being a conscientious person, had already sent three coffins to the Qin Family before, so he was not afraid to add another one. He ordered the servants to gather up the remains of Old Master Qin's battered body into a coffin and then had it delivered to the Qin Family's gate.

He had previously had no intention of feuding with the Qin Family. The families were even related by marriage, and under normal circumstances, this relationship could last a lifetime. Who could the Qin Family blame for reaching this point? It was all because of their own greed.

"Boss, you should at least praise me. I just killed a mid-level celestial god. Is there really no praise or reward?"

"No!"

Tang Rao's reply was straightforward and decisive.

Cha Xiangzi pouted, looking as if someone owed him money.

"You managed to kill Old Master Qin, but the key was the weapon in your hand. Ultimately, the person to thank is Jinxiu, not you, so don't claim credit that belongs to someone else."

That honor was earned by his wife, and Tang Rao intended to personally bestow it upon Fang Jinxiu.

"Jinxiu, it seems my Purple Crystal didn't go to waste, and I wasn't wrong about you."

Though usually composed, when Tang Rao wanted to say something romantic to Fang Jinxiu, he suddenly became tongue-tied, and what he said came out strangely.

Finally, out of nervousness, he quickly kissed her on the cheek, "I don't know what to say, but this gift is genuine, you won't mind it, will you?"

With saliva still on her face, Fang Jinxiu wanted to say she didn't mind, but words contrary to her feelings might bring divine retribution, so she stayed silent.

"Sister-in-law's face is all red, she definitely won't mind. This is the first time we've seen the boss kiss sister-in-law in public. Well, we'll just have to swallow this PDA!"

Thanks to Fang Jinxiu's influence, these youngsters even understood what was meant by "swallow this PDA." In a few days, Fang Jinxiu might even introduce more unconventional language, and then their thoughts might align more closely with hers.

"It's good that you don't mind."

Tang Rao smiled, and a few dimples appeared on his face.

Wang Han was still immersed in the moment when the small cannon fired its power. No matter how much Fang Jinxiu and Tang Rao displayed their affection, he didn't pay attention.

If that small cannon were really so powerful, she'd like Tang Rao to give her one to study properly.

"Tang Rao, did you say it was you who developed it?"

Wang Han instinctively walked over to Tang Rao and asked.

"Not just me, there's also Jinxiu. Jinxiu is the main contributor here."

Tang Rao only provided the necessary Purple Crystal to Fang Jinxiu, and the quantity was always decided by her, while Fang Jinxiu provided the labor and intelligence. Their research collaboration was seamless.

"Can you give me one to study for a few days?"

Wang Han knew this was an unreasonable request, but the moment she saw the cannon, she was fascinated by its bizarre design. For the sake of interest and power, Wang Han had to get something from Tang Rao.

"It's impossible. With your ability, you couldn't possibly study it and might even blow up my Zijing City. I won't agree to your request."

Tang Rao refused Wang Han's request without hesitation.

No matter what scientific term you threw at her, Wang Han wouldn't understand. What could she possibly research?

"But I really want to see it, even just a glance inside would satisfy me."

For the first time, Wang Han's usual indifference was replaced with warmth towards Tang Rao, and it was due to his secret weapon.

"My Zijing City took years to build; I can't let it be destroyed by you."

Ultimately, Tang Rao was unwilling to let Wang Han have access to the secret between him and Fang Jinxiu.

"Maybe I haven't earned your complete trust yet, it's okay. I'll come back to ask you once I do."

Wang Han left disappointed. Only after Wang Han's figure was out of sight did Fang Jinxiu dare to discuss the weapon's secret with Tang Rao.

"What should we do, revealing the weapon so early? Now many sides might be investigating us, and I'm afraid my power isn't enough to keep the secret protected."

Fang Jinxiu was adept at research, but when it came to fighting powerful opponents, she was still outmatched and could be easily defeated.

This was one of the challenges that also troubled Tang Rao.

Illusion City was already operating at full capacity, with everyone discussing the wonders of the small cannon. Some even openly listed prices, ready to resell it on the black market for a good price as soon as someone acquired one.
