The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1648 - 1647: Looking for Lots of Dads

Bai Xiaotong continued to play a few more rounds with these people, full of fighting spirit, but the results were vastly different from the beginning. Mahjong wasn't as fun as she had imagined!"Tang Rao, you play with them first. I have a night stream, and I'll come back after I earn some Purple Crystals!"

Bai Xiaotong was the only beauty influencer in the entire Divine Realm. Since she started live streaming in Illusion City, the streaming trend swept through the city, with all sorts of martial arts cultivators becoming streamers. But Bai Xiaotong's niche had no challengers daring to compete.

The streaming trend brought Tang Rao quite a bit of profit, so much so that he had Yan Wei develop several tipping methods within Illusion City.

A large platform like Illusion City is never short of wealthy patrons. As soon as the tipping feature launched, Tang Rao made a substantial income from it.

As Bai Xiaotong left, Tang Rao was actually happy to see her go. He sat in Bai Xiaotong's spot, looked at the beautiful women present, and told them that Grandpa Tang was here to collect debts, then mercilessly started to gather up all the Purple Crystals they had painstakingly earned.

Led by Zhang Kexin, the three women began to complain constantly. Bei Lin simply pulled Lei Li into her seat, giving up her place, thinking that since Lei Li was from the same place as Tang Rao, she must be good at mahjong and insisted that Lei Li avenge them by teaching Tang Rao a lesson.

Lei Li didn't make any promises, only telling Bei Lin she would try her best. After all, even if they were from the same place, one had to admit that there are differences in abilities, and Tang Rao excelled in every way, including mahjong, allowing no chance to breathe. Even with Lei Li up, she could only manage a non-losing match.

"Thank you all for your generosity, I'll use today's winnings for some happy things tomorrow, really, thank you!"

Tang Rao, having benefited, played coy, tossing the hefty Purple Crystals in his hand and grinning impishly, much to the frustration of the women who wanted to play a few more rounds to reclaim their honor.

"Let's go again. I don't believe it. We must have been unlucky just now; we definitely won't lose to you this time!"

Fang Jinxiu slapped the table with just the right amount of force; the sound was loud, but the table didn't bear any marks.

"But look, it's already dawn outside. Even though it's all fun and games, if my brothers know we're still in the room after dawn, it's not going to sound good."

Tang Rao pretended to be embarrassed, but to the women, it seemed like he was mocking them.

"No need to worry; I've already cleared out the nearby area, you can play without fear of being seen. But for doing you this favor, shouldn't you offer me some benefits?"

Tang Rao had so many hefty Purple Crystals in his hand that even Wang Han was green with envy; she couldn't just let Tang Rao walk away with all the gains, could she?

No way Wang Han should know Tang Rao came here, yet somehow she did and even turned up in Bei Lin's room. If Wang Han knew, did that mean all the other women knew too?

"Han Han, how many Purple Crystals do you want? These are all my winnings from last night. How about I give them all to you?"

Tang Rao willingly caved in front of Wang Han, agreeing to donate all his hard-won Purple Crystals just to earn a few favorable comments from Wang Han amongst his women to prevent them from entertaining any wild thoughts.

"Alright, hand over the Purple Crystals, and us sisters will continue playing. You can leave now!"

...

So it turns out, his hard-earned gambling funds are to be handed over to continue as Wang Han's gambling money?

Unwilling as he was, in the end, under Wang Han's intense gaze, he had no choice but to fork over all the gambling funds.

"Whatever you ladies lost, take the money first and let's continue playing. Sisters, you must teach me, okay!"

The aloof beauty when interacting with others seems to freeze them in their tracks. Yet, with her sisters, Tang Rao could feel she was consciously letting loose her warmth, trying to leave a better impression.

"No problem, I lost the most last night. Sister Wang Han, get my Purple Crystals back, and I'll teach you how to play mahjong in return!"

!!!

The other two women were speechless.

So you lost the most, and yet, you're going to teach Wang Han to play mahjong, leading a virtuous youth astray?

"Well, the thing is, I actually don't need anyone to specifically teach me. I can figure it out after a few rounds."

Wang Han's refusal was somewhat subtle and ambiguous, making it unclear if she was rejecting Zhang Kexin or showing off her understanding capabilities.

Tang Rao left alone, feeling extremely upset. Suddenly, he remembered he hadn't seen Tang Xiaobai for a while. His son, because of being too intelligent and mature too early, Tang Rao found it hard to treat him as a child. He often reflected on himself and felt like a failure as a father.

In a secluded courtyard, Li Shengxuan was tending to flowers, while Tang Xiaobai was fiddling with unknown gadgets in his hands.

All these things were given by Yan Wei, each one capable of driving people on Blue Star crazy, yet in Tang Xiaobai's hands, they never remained whole.

"Xiaobai, have you missed your daddy?"

Tang Rao sat on a small stool next to Tang Xiaobai, crouched down, and looked seriously at his son's little face, asking in an ingratiating tone.

"Your brow is really dark, you must have just lost money. Stay away from me, don't want you ruining Xiaobai's luck."

???

Tang Rao, who got shunned while playing mahjong at Bei Lin's, felt dejected. He came to see his son at Li Shengxuan's but was rejected again, this time with the excuse of bad luck. His little heart could no longer bear any more blows.

"Son, I am your father. How can you talk to your dad like that?"

Tang Xiaobai didn't think his dad was all that parental. If it weren't for having an Innate status and no choice postnatally, he wouldn't want to continue being Tang Rao's son.

"Too bad there's only one dad. Unlike dad, who has many wives, I wish mom had many dads too, wouldn't that be great."

Tang Xiaobai's shocking words left Tang Rao without a retort.

"Xiaobai, he's your father, so watch your words."

Sheng Xuan remained kind and gentle, yet over time, the glow of motherhood on her had grown much warmer.
