The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1101 - 1100: Who Poisoned Her?

"Previously because of illness, now, does he still want to continue ignoring it?"Tang Rao speaks directly, saying exactly what Li Qi Qi is thinking.

"Tao Er, pass the message over, just say that I'm recovered."

Li Qi Qi isn't really sure about her father, to be honest.

Apart from occasionally sending some things to Li Qi Qi and adding some people, Li Zhentong hasn't done much more.

"Yes, miss."

Li Qi Qi is reluctant to face reality, but Tang Rao insists Li Qi Qi confronts it.

As Tang Rao expected, upon hearing that Li Qi Qi is better, Li Zhentong didn't show much emotional reaction. When Tao Er went, he merely said, "Make sure the miss eats well," but as for whether he'd visit Li Qi Qi, Li Zhentong didn't mention it.

He probably won't come.

Tao Er conveyed Li Zhentong's exact words to Li Qi Qi, and she was still a bit in disbelief. Tang Rao nodded repeatedly, as if he already knew the outcome.

"Oh dear, none of you up in the Divine Realm are any good after all."

Tang Rao found a small stool, sat on it, and cracked sunflower seeds jokingly.

"Impossible, there must be a reason why my father won't come to see me. He will definitely come."

Li Qi Qi inexplicably holds firm belief in Li Zhentong.

"Little girl, this is the Divine Realm, not some rural retreat. Your family is large, aside from you, there's quite a few other children. Think about it, with so many children, each one better than the last, what face it brings when mentioned. What use is a daughter just recovering from a serious illness to him? Why would he come to see you?"

Frankly, Tang Rao does not have many strengths, but he sure has a knack for gathering information.

Earlier, while Tao Er went out to find Li Zhentong and Li Qi Qi was resting inside, he mingled with the guard, gave the guard some benefits, and quickly made friends. The guard had been with the Tingzhou Li Family longer than Tang Rao, and he had figured out the family relations and dynamics very well.

Now, saying these things to Li Qi Qi is purely out of pity for her living like a clueless fool on this little isolated island.

"I know everything you're saying, but why lay the truth bare. If you had agreed a bit, I might even believe the beautiful picture I painted for myself."

Li Qi Qi's almond eyes were brimming with tears, her eye rims faint pink, her hands clutching the blanket. It took her some time to fully absorb Tang Rao's words.

Tang Rao, you can't be a conscientious rascal. Li Zhentong is a Central God. He provides you with food and lodging, gives you a chance to mingle in high society, seize the opportunity, but make sure to meddle less, certainly meddle less.

He took a few breaths of fresh air and felt he had calmed his mind, but then he said something beastly.

"Hey, why don't I help you get the love your father owes you?"

Right after saying that, Tang Rao regretted it and wanted to slap his own big mouth.

"To win my father's affection, can you really do that?"

Li Qi Qi is still just a young girl, and what girl wouldn't want to compete for affection in front of her siblings? If Tang Rao could help her accomplish that, she would undoubtedly be thrilled.

"I'll give it a try. I'm no match for your father; I can't go head to head with him. As for what to do in the future, I still need to think about it, but you must promise to do exactly as I say."

Li Qi Qi's tears turned into a smile, "Thank you, Tang Rao."

After more than ten years in bed, this was the first time Li Qi Qi laughed so genuinely, like sunshine.

After handling matters in Tingzhou, a seductive woman immediately clung to Li Zhentong as he exited.

"Master, I heard Li Qi Qi has been cured. Did you know about this?"

Once the woman's slender waist entwined Li Zhentong, he indeed lost all resistance, unable to refuse the woman's goodwill.

Being majestic, the door of the study naturally closed.

"I know, so the madam also knows?"

Li Zhentong didn't consider Li Qi Qi to be of any consequence.

"Knowing that's your own daughter, don't you plan to take a look?"

Take a look?

Li Zhentong chuckled twice.

"That's my daughter, but you're aware of her existence. Do you think the poison in her was that easy to clear? It's just a facade, just a facade, my lady."

Li Zhentong was very aware of the poison in Li Qi Qi's body because the poison was extremely lethal. Thus, when Tao Er mentioned Li Qi Qi's poison had been cured, it only slightly surprised Li Zhentong before he calmed back down.

"The matter of you experimenting with her using poison back then, only the two of us know. Now, the potent poison you couldn't resolve, how can a lesser god resolve it? Anyway, I don't believe it, who knows what mischief this brat is up to."

The woman's dislike for Li Qi Qi traces back to Li Qi Qi's biological mother, Li Zhentong's former wife. The entanglement ran deep across generations, summed up in one sentence: Li Qi Qi is doomed to bear great misfortune.

"Forget it, the madam is busy raising children at home, so don't trouble yourself. Nonetheless, to play it safe, I still need to check on that girl."

Li Zhentong put down his pen and paper, placing a note into a paper tube, and tied the tube to an immortal beast's leg, letting it deliver the message.

After releasing the immortal beast to fly away, he finally put his mind into truly thinking over the matter with Li Qi Qi.

"Tang Rao, you liar! Just now, I asked the miss, and you didn't use a blood exchange to cure her. You called me away just to stop me from monitoring you. You must have some plot against the miss."

Tao Er, upon reflection, sensed something was off. She asked Li Qi Qi how her wound was, and only then did Li Qi Qi explain it was the Immortal Elixir and didn't need a blood exchange, which made Tao Er so furious she wanted to give Tang Rao a thrashing.

"It's enough that your miss's poison was cleared by me. How I cured it is my business, if you want to learn my skills, you should've just said so!"

Tang Rao was intentionally teasing Tao Er, and seeing her hopping mad, he didn't know why, but his heart felt at ease.

Li Qi Qi, too, was amused by the playfulness between Tao Er and Tang Rao.

"Alright, don't argue, both of you quiet down a bit."

Though Tang Rao wanted some peace, they each had their separate quarters, and after tidying up around Li Qi Qi's side, Tang Rao returned to his room, connected to Illusion City, and started chatting with the beautiful ladies back home.

"Come on, dear ones, is there anything you'd like to say to me?"

Having not seen each other for several days, Tang Rao's feelings for the people from the Land of Immortals only grew stronger.

"Tang Rao, we all miss you. Please don't find a wife in the Divine Realm and forget about us, or else we won't spare you."

The one who said this was You Xiaoxiao; only You Xiaoxiao was so possessive of Tang Rao.

Even Fang Jinxiu couldn't compare.

"How dare I? My dear ladies, let me tell you, people in the Divine Realm are so ugly, Papa Tang Rao can't possibly fancy them."

Tang Rao was telling the truth, but in the Divine Realm, he had to make an exception for Li Qi Qi.

Li Qi Qi is genuinely beautiful.
