"Just these, I don't know which one is effective, might as well use them all, there's bound to be one that works."

Old Crane's generosity outweighed Tang Rao's, and for the sake of the Nine Cauldrons Snow Beast, Tang Rao agreed.

Nearly thirty Elixir Pills were put into the Nine Cauldrons Snow Beast's mouth. Knowing it was lifesaving, it ate without hesitation.

As time passed, the Dragon Lake Beast stood by, watching the Nine Cauldrons Snow Beast's power surge, unable to deny the envy he felt.

"If I follow you, can I become strong and fearless like her?"

The Dragon Lake Beast had greater spiritual wisdom, several levels above the Nine Cauldrons Snow Beast, but because it was once Tang Rao's romantic rival, Tang Rao always harbored suspicion towards the Dragon Lake Beast.

"Of course. Kao Shan Sect members allocate resources based on strength. As long as your strength is formidable, you'll have endless resources."

Even if they're used up, I can still trick you into getting more.

But before that, Tang Rao would weigh the pros and cons of doing this.

"I want to follow you, not fight over Jin Jin anymore. Can you give me cultivation resources, okay?"

Wen Jinjin was still watching the giant screen, and upon hearing the Dragon Lake Beast's words, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Sure, if you perform well, I can give you all kinds of cultivation resources, as much as you need."

The Dragon Lake Beast was thrilled, knowing he could finally break through the bottleneck that had blocked him for years.

The Nine Cauldrons Snow Beast quickly returned to its original state, standing up and running around, showing off her allure.

"Alright, it seems Xiao Xue's condition is fine. The fourth trial is passed, now it's the tournament. The outcome depends on this last step."

Tang Rao wasn't excited? Impossible. Others spent thousands of years yet couldn't reach this step, he should be the youngest cultivator here.

"I never thought I'd reach this point at such an old age."

Old Crane had nothing more to say to Tang Rao. Every word he said earlier was heartfelt towards Tang Rao.

"What did I tell you when we first met? I said I would lead you to the end as long as you didn't give up, I'd keep my promise."

Tang Rao's words moved Old Crane to tears.

"No more talking, let's head to the next place."

Tang Rao took the two onto the back of the Nine Cauldrons Snow Beast, while the Dragon Lake Beast was left like a forsaken object.

"Can you take me with you? I'm one of you too, right?"

Seeing the pleading look in the Dragon Lake Beast's eyes, Tang Rao didn't soften, believing that a troublesome creature needed harsher handling.

Bang, bang, clang!

The copper plate rang out, and as they arrived at the designated place, the area was bustling with noise.

Tang Rao had never seen a place decorated like a New Year's celebration for tournaments.

"These dazzling lights, the setting feels so ambiguous; I'm afraid it could lead to stray thoughts."

Tang Rao blushed on the tournament grounds. He actually blushed.

"Big brother, this is Ice and Snow World's tradition. Only those who pass the previous trials get such an honor."

Old Crane experienced it once, but still wasn't a match for opponents in the tournament, honorable even in defeat against the mighty.

"So that's how it is, but with all this glitz and glamour, how can you say there's no shady dealings?"

Tang Rao didn't believe it.

With the plaque in hand, Tang Rao took the two to find an inn, where the environment was nice, each room scented, creating a unique ambiance.

"I must say, there really are quite a few businesses like those here. Should I call two for you if you want?"

Call two?

So many, huh, Tang Rao thought of all the women there and blushed.

"Never mind, I am a man of integrity, never dabbling in such outside adventures."

Tang Rao spoke with such sincerity, Old Crane almost believed it.

"I want to call one, do you want one?"

Old Crane actually dabbling in such things?

Tang Rao was discontent and quickly caught Old Crane's hand saying, "Two, I want two, just two is fine."

Under Old Crane's lead, Tang Rao's true colors came out instantly.

"Alright, I'll call them right away."

Tang Rao and company arrived just in time and spent the night comfortably, readying for the tournament the next day.

Seizing this fleeting life, Tang Rao naturally wanted to enjoy himself.

He mischievously sent Old Crane away; Old Crane swiftly brought in two beauties to the room.

"Greetings, Young Master."

The beauties were dressed scantily, with waists and figures that were top-tier in this place. Old Crane spared no expense to please Tang Rao.

"Greetings, greetings, I'm Tang Laohei, what are your names?"

The beauties remained aloof; why would they greet the scruffy Tang Rao?

"I am Zi Yan, and this is my sister, Tao Hong."

Both women curtsied to Tang Rao, startling him until his knees went weak.

"Wow, you two are so beautiful, if you don't mind, how about speaking candidly with me?"

In any case, the night was too long, Tang Rao felt lonely sleeping alone.

Zi Yan and Tao Hong had a good attitude, making Tang Rao's heart itch.

"Alright then, my sister and I will serve you well, Young Master."

The girls were enchanting, quick-tongued, Tang Rao wished to embrace both and enjoy their company.

Zi Yan sat to Tang Rao's left, Tao Hong to his right; Zi Yan poured a drink and handed it to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao almost drank it but smelled something odd when he brought it to his lips.

"Zi Yan, this first drink is for you, stepping out so late for business must mean your family isn't well off, correct?"

Tang Rao spoke while offering the drink to Zi Yan.

He didn't miss the fleeting panic on Zi Yan's face.

"Not due to family issues, but a harsh life; with parents gone and no guidance, I ended up this way."

Zi Yan spoke convincingly, but Tang Rao wondered why he didn't believe her.

As Zi Yan spoke, Tao Hong reached behind, aiming a venomous hand at Tang Rao, ready to strike.

"Young lady, if your story wasn't so tragic, I might have believed it."

Tang Rao used inner strength to push the women away.

Thump.

The two women coughed blood, bewildered by how they were discovered.

"How did you find out?"

They had to know before dying, else they'd be dissatisfied.

"I'm inherently kind-hearted, but lies like this abound on Blue Star, numbing me to them long ago."
