No matter how much Tang Rao shouted outside, the people inside had no intention of giving him any good news.
"Sheng Xuan, my dear Sheng Xuan?"
The won collectively went offline, even those who usually obeyed Tang Rao's every command had the sa attitude.
"Hey, if you all don't contact , when I return from the Divine Realm, don't expect to have a good ti."
Tang Rao thought of the top ten tortures for dealing with won, just waiting to thoroughly punish those few when the ti ca.
"Tang Rao, look at you being all impatient. Sheng Xuan had a son, you're a dad now!"
What?
Ah hahahahaha?
Tang Rao was so happy he almost cried.
He's a dad? And a boy?
How could there be so much good fortune in the world? And all falling on him?
"I'm a dad? Sheng Xuan gave a son?"
Tang Rao muttered to himself, and Fang Jinxiu, being the most considerate woman, pointed Illusion City's cara at Li Shengxuan, showing Tang Rao how the great woman who bore him a child was doing.
"Tang Rao, Sheng Xuan went through a lot to give you a child. If you dare wrong her again in the future, none of us will let you off."
The sisters all echoed this sentint, leaving Tang Rao no choice but to agree happily.
Tu Hongxiu brought the child out, letting Tang Rao take a quick look, before quickly setting the baby aside to clean off the dirt and blood.
"Hong Xiu, darling, let hubby take another look, just one more look."
Besides looking, Tang Rao wanted to touch him, hoping he'd be the one to give his son the first slap on the butt.
"Hong Xiu, give the kid a pat, you know? A child doesn't grow up right without so tough love. If he wants to grow up and be as strong as his dad, he needs to start learning from a young age. But no matter how much I say, you all still won't understand."
Pffft, Tang Rao really had the nerve to say such shaless things.
"If you want to hit, you do it. But if you dare, I reckon life will be hard for you in the future. Want to try?"
The won treated the child like a treasure, spoiling it all day long. Hit? They wouldn't even dare think of it.
"Alright then, I'll just watch from the side, hehehe."
Challenging the won's authority was sothing Tang Rao couldn't risk.
A magical scene unfolded. While Tang Rao chatted with the won, he stood there, watching as Tu Hongxiu cleaned the child and brought him out.
"Look at this kid, he really looks like Hong Xiu, so beautiful."
Once the child was clean and Tu Hongxiu showed him to everyone again, Tang Rao thought they might have swapped the baby in between.
"Pffft, beautiful? Like her? Obviously, he looks like , my son can't not look like , right?"
Tang Rao seed really concerned about which parent the child resembled more.
"With you being so fickle, our son is dood. Alright, visiting hours are over today. If you want to see Xiao Tang Rao again, you better co early tomorrow."
Slam.
Illusion City was closed once more.
At that mont, Tang Rao felt the world had collapsed.
His son, his ti to see Xiao Tang Rao, hadn't even reached ten minutes.
My God, he was the dad here.
Tang Rao knew that even if he threw a fit, the won wouldn't have a conscience and grant his request.
After a trip to Illusion City and learning about the child, Tang Rao had a revelation.
Wasn't this all too unbelievable?
At the ti, Tang Rao thought it might just be an illusion, but after pondering for a long ti, he tried circulating his energy again, and the feeling seed to change quite a bit.
He quickly ran to the back mountain to temper himself.
In the cave beneath the back mountain of Kao Shan Sect, peril lurked. It was the perfect place to test Tang Rao's strength.
"Tang Rao, have you lost your mind?"
The Powerful Soul cried out to Tang Rao.
But even though the Powerful Soul tried to stop Tang Rao, it was still a step too late.
Tang Rao fell to the ground, feeling an overwhelming pressure pressing down on him.
Tang Rao felt as if his insides were about to be crushed out of his body.
"Old soul, what's going on? Why do I feel like everything in my body is being pressed out? Why do I feel like I'm about to die?"
Tang Rao spoke sparingly, not wanting to use up all his strength at once.
"Because you're in the wrong place."
The Powerful Soul was also being pressed down. Tang Rao felt terrible, and as part of Tang Rao, how could it feel good?
"What? What do you an?"
Only then did Tang Rao co to his senses, frightened by the words of the Powerful Soul.
"What do you an? Last ti I ca here, it was fine. Why am I about to die this ti?"
He still couldn't believe he was about to die.
"It's different this ti. Last ti, I, as the forr emperor's Powerful Soul, suppressed this place. Of course, there was no problem. But since I left, I've beco your Powerful Soul inside your body. Your strength suppresses mine, so I can't even try to suppress the pressure here."
Unless Tang Rao wished to imdiately explode and die.
"How can that be? Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
The very thought irritated Tang Rao, while the Powerful Soul felt wronged.
"It's not that I didn't warn you. I did, but you didn't pay attention. I told you not to go down, but you insisted on jumping down. Now you're regretting it."
The Powerful Soul knew it wasn't the ti to shirk responsibility, but if it didn't say it, it felt wronged inside, better to speak its mind.
Resisting the pressure, Tang Rao couldn't think of a better way.
He used his own power to resist, but after a while, he had to submit to the pressure again.
"Old man, sorry for dragging you into this ss. I finally beca a dad, thought I had so insight, and chose this place. It ended up digging a pit for myself to jump into, dragging you along."
"What's the use of saying that now? You need to find a way to resist the pressure."
What's the point of resisting for? The Powerful Soul had waited so many years for Tang Rao, and this ss just proved to be his undoing, taking the poor old soul along for the ride.
"Tang Rao, where's that string of beads Li Yun gave you? They inherently possess pressure resistance. Why aren't you taking them out to try?"
Jixing sobered up at the critical mont.
Their drunkenness finally cleared, just a mont later, and Tang Rao would have been crushed to pieces.
"I almost forgot about those beads."
When Tang Rao took the beads out of the Space Ring, he felt the pressure around him gradually disappear.
"I knew I have great luck. At the crucial mont, even a string of beads I was forced to take could save my life. It seems that Li Yun has quite a few good things. I should take them all."
After the close call, rather than being grateful for his life being spared, Tang Rao was more concerned about acquiring more good stuff. The Powerful Soul watching was increasingly bewildered by his thought process.
