Chapter 1474 - 1473: One Dead, One Injured
"Tang Rao, be extremely careful, don't fall for his tricks!"Tang Rao had imagined countless people reminding him to be cautious, but he never thought the person advising him would be Wang Han.
Even the ice-cold beauty had a day to care for someone.
It seems that Tang Rao stepping in to help Wang Han in a heroic rescue wasn't so bad after all.
"I know I can't fall for his tricks, but his strength is so much greater than mine..."
Tang Rao didn't need to say more; Wang Han understood the stakes.
"Father, I'm no match for Leng Feng, let alone Tang Rao!"
For the first time, Wang Lin saw panic in Wang Han's eyes. Such panic was normal in others' eyes, but in Wang Han's eyes, it seemed to be a first.
"Don't worry, Tang Rao isn't as weak as you think. You should have full confidence in him."
On what grounds did Wang Han have full confidence in Tang Rao?
"Father, do you still not know Tang Rao's strength? If you don't help him, he'll definitely suffer at Leng Feng's hands, and Tang Rao is also implicated by me!"
Wang Han seemed determined that if Wang Lin didn't take action, she would risk everything to save Tang Rao. It was this belief that made Wang Han start to move.
"Daughter, do you still not have faith in Tang Rao?"
Wang Lin's question put Wang Han on the spot!
"I..."
Wang Han hesitated.
She didn't want to admit it, but she really didn't have much confidence in Tang Rao.
"Actually, from the moment Tang Rao stepped on stage to help you, I already knew your feelings for Tang Rao. Han Han, you never anxiously cared about any man before; Tang Rao is the unexpected in your life!"
Wang Lin's words revealed Wang Han's heartfelt shyness.
"Father, stop talking nonsense!"
Wang Han's originally anxious face instantly turned cold as ice.
"Yes, yes, father isn't talking nonsense, father knows nothing."
Wang Lin feigned ignorance with Wang Han. As an elder, he didn't want to immediately expose the topic.
Young girls have thin skin; what good does it do for a father to delve so deeply!
The fight between Tang Rao and Leng Feng had entered an intense phase.
Tang Rao had already taken several hits. When he spoke, blood spurted from his mouth.
Leng Feng looked at Tang Rao, who was already beaten to such a state, and his entire body's blood boiled.
In Leng Feng's eyes, Tang Rao was already a dead man.
"Prepare to die; you're no match for me. Not just anyone can withstand the power of the Blue Crystal. I know my body best, hahaha."
Tang Rao was already exhausted, yet Leng Feng seemed as energized as ever. Tang Rao looked at Leng Feng as if he were a monster.
The further he went, the clearer he saw the gap between them.
But what Tang Rao couldn't understand was why, even though he had poisoned Leng Feng, Leng Feng's body seemed unaffected. This poison, it shouldn't be!
"You surely want to know why your poison has no effect on me? Let me tell you, the Blue Crystal can help suppress the toxins in my body, so your wish to see me dead is nothing but a fool's dream!"
Blue Crystal? Tang Rao truly hadn't connected this matter with the Blue Crystal.
Leng Feng was so arrogant, to the point where he thought Tang Rao was as good as dead, yet he didn't expect his body to be pierced through.
His heart suddenly felt empty, from the front to the back, a massive hole appeared.
This was Tang Rao's Taotie Hand, a hand that never failed, once again seizing the opportunity to render Leng Feng's efforts futile.
"Why?"
Leng Feng's pupils dilated several times over; even in death, he couldn't figure out how Tang Rao, always on the losing end, suddenly succeeded.
"Because... your pride, it was your pride that brought you down!"
If it weren't for Leng Feng's arrogance, not considering Tang Rao as a threat, how would Tang Rao have found the right moment to take his life?
"I refuse, I'm unconvinced!"
Leng Feng's pupils became unfocused.
This was the strength of a late-stage deity. With the Blue Crystal's support, Leng Feng was no different from an ordinary early-stage deity. He was much stronger than Tang Rao, yet still lost to him.
Until he closed his eyes, Leng Feng's hands never unclenched into fists.
"What's the use of being unconvinced? You're still my defeated opponent!"
Tang Rao wasn't in much better shape; he collapsed just after finishing speaking.
On stage, the two lay down, one with breath, the other lifeless, and not even a single person came to collect the body of the deceased. Wang Han, however, was the first to go on stage, inspecting Tang Rao's injuries.
"Han Han, Tang Rao is just overly exhausted. Once I give him the Solid Essence Pill and let him rest well, he will wake up."
At this point, Wang Lin had no concerns about his status. He checked Tang Rao's injuries and found no major issues, reassuring Wang Han.
Wang Han didn't understand medicine; she only needed to know if Tang Rao had woken up, if he still had a breath left.
After Tang Rao fell unconscious, Wu Suowei also arrived beside him, seemingly more worried about whether Tang Rao would have any lingering effects.
"No one touch him. His safety must be guarded by me alone!"
Tang Rao was already in enough danger, with no ability to protect himself. If anyone took advantage of the chaos to plot against him, it would threaten not only Tang Rao but the entire Divine Realm.
"Then I'll trouble Brother Wu!"
Wang Lin, being shrewd as he was, undoubtedly knew Wang Suowei's concerns.
"Brother Wang is generous, not that I don't trust Brother Wang's people, but Tang Rao is too important. I can't trust anyone else."
Wang Lin nodded, as he shared the sentiment.
Tang Rao was soon taken into the mansion. When Wu Suowei planned to take Tang Rao to their quarters, Wang Han intervened.
"Tang Rao can't stay where he is now. If you trust me, take him to my place."
Even the normally composed Wu Suowei tightened his grip and was momentarily stunned by Wang Han's words.
"I said, my place is safer. If you trust me, let Tang Rao receive treatment there first."
Waving her hands awkwardly, Wang Han blushed.
For anyone else, whether they died outside had nothing to do with Wang Han, but because Tang Rao's identity was special, and... Wang Han owed Tang Rao her life, as he had saved her life. Despite her cold demeanor, she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless with her lifesaver.
"Brother Wu, Han Han is right. The place where Han Han resides is indeed safer than anywhere else in our mansion. Why not trust her this once?"
Neither Wang Han nor Wang Lin would harbor any ill intentions towards Tang Rao, and Wu Suowei had no choice but to accept.
But when they reached Wang Han's residence, a new issue arose.
Tang Rao couldn't stay in the servants' quarters, and Wang Han disliked setting up guest rooms.
Tang Rao couldn't possibly sleep in Wang Han's boudoir, could he?
"Han Han, you've brought Tang Rao here for recovery. Do you have a place to settle him?"
Everyone looked at Wang Han. She had just been too anxious and blurted out her offer to bring Tang Rao over. When they actually arrived, she realized how poorly she had thought it through.
