The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1132 - 1131: Spider Malfunction

"Who wants to have kids with you? Don't be so improper."Although Li Qi Qi gave Tang Rao a light smack, she didn't use much force.

"Isn't that right?"

Tang Rao joked with Li Qi Qi again, but Li Qi Qi simply ignored him.

"Don't overthink it. I'll find someone to keep you company in the next couple of days; I still need to talk business with my father-in-law today. I've set up restrictions on the island, so you can move around freely."

Tang Rao meticulously considered everything for Li Qi Qi.

When Li Zhentong saw Tang Rao, he still hadn't recovered from yesterday's daze.

Drank too much, better be more mindful next time.

"Father-in-law, we had so much fun drinking yesterday that I forgot to tell you. Didn't you want to know how the match-ups are decided? Well, I know now!"

Tang Rao wasn't sure about the match arrangements before, but after saving Wen Lei and showing off in front of Mr. Wen, he was confident the match-ups would be in his favor.

"What, you know the match arrangements?"

Li Zhentong sprang up, his drunkenness sobering instantly.

"I inadvertently found out yesterday, and I guarantee it's absolutely true."

Since Li Zhentong had given Tang Rao such a favor, Tang Rao thought he should occasionally return the favor.

"I'll draw the match-up schematic and send it to you. This is for Li Family people only, it mustn't be leaked."

Li Zhentong understood the importance of what Tang Rao offered and gratefully nodded, accepting the diagram from Tang Rao's hands.

"I understand!"

The more Li Zhentong looked at his son-in-law, the more he liked him, eager for Li Qi Qi to give him a grandson soon.

Time flew by, and when the battle finally came, Tang Rao was already at the lower deity peak, ready to break through at any moment.

The good thing about the mid-god family tournament is that both lower and mid-level deities can enter, otherwise, with his lower deity status, Tang Rao wouldn't even have a chance to fight.

"Listen up, everyone. This time, we're entering the tournament. No matter life or death, you must finish your match. If the Li Family wins, the world will be ours. For the future, to hold our heads high in front of opponents, don't hold back those punches or palms!"

Li Zhentong's motivational speech had a different taste in front of the Li Family.

Every time he said this, those participating in the tournament knew it by heart.

"Yes, for the glory of the Li Family."

Shouts erupted from below. They waved, pretending victory was certain.

Everyone entered the Transmission Array to head to the tournament grounds.

Unexpectedly, Tang Rao saw Leng Pengfei here, the man who had previously called him brother and claimed he would help Tang Rao become the Head of the Li Family. He hadn't mentioned anything about being the Head again since.

Tang Rao wasn't naïve; did he think becoming the family head was easy? He'd just become a puppet, at Leng Pengfei's beck and call.

"Brother Tang Rao, didn't expect you'd participate in the family head competition too. I've noticed we haven't met often lately; turns out we've both been preparing. How's your confidence in taking down the Li Family?"

Leng Pengfei's cold smile made Tang Rao want to punch him.

"No confidence. I'm just a lower deity, with so many mid-level deities fighting, especially those as strong as you, Brother Fei. I feel especially uncertain."

Tang Rao sounded so genuine, he almost believed himself.

"It's alright, relax. If you're not confident, we could cooperate. If I draw against your Li Family and take them down, the entire Li Family will be mine. Then it'd just be a word to hand the Li Family to you."

Luckily, Leng Pengfei spoke softly. If other Li Family members heard him, wouldn't they fight to the death with him?

"That's a good deal. If you draw me, go easy on a brother, alright? Truth be told, reaching the lower deity peak was hard enough. Forcing things would do me no good."

Tang Rao sounded pitiful enough, but whether Leng Pengfei believed him was another matter.

"Brother Tang Rao, straightforward as always. Let's not beat around the bush; I aim to unify the Divine Realm. Once you take the Li Family, support me. I'm envisioning a grand future!"

Leng Pengfei, just Leng Pengfei?

Grand future, my foot!

Tang Rao laughed brightly, still cheerfully replying, "Definitely, I hope for your support in the future."

"Of course, of course."

Leng Pengfei left with a smile.

With his face full of schemes, Tang Rao wasn't blind—how could he possibly satisfy him?

"Tang Rao, who was that? He doesn't look like a good person. Hope he doesn't end up being our draw, we'd have to fight him."

The people with Tang Rao felt anxious. Their abilities weren't strong, dreaming of drawing weaker opponents to quickly finish, terrified of drawing stronger ones, unsure how they'd die.

It's one thing to eat recklessly, but words shouldn't be spoken carelessly. Tang Rao worried that luck might actually bring him against Leng Pengfei—who knows who'd win?

"Listen up, everyone. This competition includes 20 old families and 30 new families. In the mid-god family tournament, friendship comes first, competition second. Ensure rankings don't damage harmony. I now announce the start of the tournament!"

The man at the top had a loud voice—it seemed he cried a lot as a kid, saving the need for a microphone.

"Names called please prepare!"

A loud clang of a gong echoed followed by someone bringing a flowery name list to be read aloud.

The Li Family wasn't called in the first few rounds, nor was the Kao Shan Sect. Instead, old families plotted and schemed—friendship turned to rivalry as soon as they stepped into the ring.

"Luckily, we weren't drawn. If I had to go up first, I'd definitely lose. I have time to watch the experts first; I'm not as anxious as before."

As the name list was read, some sighed at their bad luck, others felt lucky for more observation time.

Tang Rao appeared indifferent; whether sooner or later, he'd face it—what was there to fear?

"Tang Rao, the Little Spider's malfunctioned. I can't record through it; what do we do?"

Yan Wei messaged Tang Rao through Illusion City.

He'd tried several times to repair the Little Spider, but the results were the same!

"The Little Spider breaks at a time like this, are you kidding me?"

With the fights already underway, Yan Wei saying such critical data couldn't be recorded—how could this not seem like a bad joke to Tang Rao?

"It's true, it was fine before. The Little Spider's never been discovered, and the malfunction's cause is still uncertain. I need time to investigate."

With Yan Wei having said that, what could Tang Rao do?
