Actually, sometimes, men are just inexplicably odd.

Just like Tang Rao.

This Heavenly Beauty named Fang Yi is very easy to flirt with, very proactive, very saucy~ air, in a few minutes she flirts with her eyes, leaving you with no chance to argue.

However, when push came to shove, Tang Rao chickened out.

In Soros's villa, Soros had even prepared a room for him, but Tang Rao backed out.

Was it because Fang Yi wasn't pretty? No, she was beautiful, and certainly not inferior to people like Jiang Langhuan and Yun Xi.

Did he think Fang Yi was dirty? No, for someone like Tang Rao from the Seventy-two Domains, there was no such emotion as a virgin complex.

Men seducing women, women seducing men, it's all the same.

When emotions become intense, a little giggle here and there is only natural.

"Tang Rao, you don't want such a good woman?" At the door of the room, Soros looked baffled, "You're not gonna tell me you want to date before doing it, right? That's so out!"

"I have absolutely no romantic feelings for Fang Yi, to put it delicately it's a one-night stand, crudely it's like soliciting a prostitute, and not even paying! I'm telling you, Soros, this is illegal, I am a law-abiding good citizen, I would not do such a thing," Tang Rao said proudly, looking very arrogant.

Soros looked disdainful.

"Tang Rao, if you don't have the guts then stop making excuses. It's just sleeping with a woman, why make so many reasons. Hang on, you're not still a virgin, are you?" Soros muttered.

Tang Rao's expression turned a bit awkward, not that I'm ashamed to admit it, but I really am.

"Alright, let's drop it. You just keep an eye on Mario and Vincent for me, I still have some use for them," Tang Rao told Soros.

"Still useful? No way, do you think Hades will come to rescue them? Impossible, you don't know Hades; even if you kidnapped his mother, he wouldn't rescue her," Soros shrugged and said.

"Your head's pretty big, huh? Can you be a bit smarter? Stop always thinking about drinking blood and playing with women, read more books, don't be like an idiot, alright?" Tang Rao said with a helpless expression.

"I... I have dual master's degrees from Jolin..."

"Is that useful?"

"Not too bad."

"Really, not too bad?"

"Well, okay, it's pretty useless…"

"That's more like it."

…

After leaving Soros's place, Tang Rao sensed Hades's location.

That idiot Hades probably thought he really escaped.

In the starry sky, beneath the most cunning... no, the greatest Spiritual Pharmacist, do you think you can escape? I have a hundred ways to find you!

As for why to let Hades go, Tang Rao had his own plans. This guy is, after all, a Duke, and directly killing him might really anger the Blood Princess.

Soros mentioned that it is less than a week until the Blood Princess selects an inheritor, so keeping Hades might come in handy later.

"No fun at all. The weak ones aren't satisfying to play with, and the strong ones are impossible to play with," muttered Tang Rao. Except for the likes of the Holy Court of Blood Empress, the strongest nowadays seem to be only the Bloodline Dukes at the Golden Core Stage.

The terrifying peak integrated ones like the Holy Court of Blood Empress, I definitely can't fight against.

But playing with the so-called Bloodline Dukes like Hades isn't fun either, they die within a snap, so boring.

"Alas, my poor strength, at the early stage of Golden Core, it really frustrates me." Tang Rao truly felt overwhelmed by the immense amount of Spiritual Energy he needed for his advancement.

Without Blood Spirit Pills, the increase in power is just too slow.

Even though he's set up a Plantation, it's meaningless. The Spirit Plants grow too slowly, and turning them into Spiritual Medicine requires refinement, which is not a simple task.

Decent Spiritual Medicine requires a lot of time.

He's just one person; between refining Spiritual Medicine and absorption, he simply doesn't have enough time.

Recently, Tang Rao had been studying the cultivation method of the Bloodthirsty Demon, absorbing the power of the starry sky. Unfortunately, there aren't many breakthroughs; he couldn't find any leads at all.

He couldn't even communicate with the nearby Moon, let alone communicate with other distant stars like the Bloodthirsty Demons do.

"Maybe I should just give up and start over," an idea sprung up in Tang Rao's mind.

"Holy shit, are you insane?!" No sooner had this thought appeared than a loud roar echoed inside his head.

Without thinking, he knew it was the spiritual wisdom.

"Oh, you're still alive? I thought you were long gone," Tang Rao responded derisively.

"You wouldn't die if I did. Tang Rao, let me tell you, if you abandon your cultivation and start over, you will never comprehend the ways of the immortals," said the spiritual wisdom.

"So what if I can't? Being at the peak of crossing calamities isn't too bad either. Look, I used to be at that peak in the Seventy-two Domains of the nine worlds, throwing my weight around. If I comprehend the ways of the immortals, there will surely be those stronger than me, then I'll be just a small fry again, hardly worth it," Tang Rao grumbled.

"Can't you be a little more ambitious? The ways of the immortals, that's what's truly impressive. If you can't achieve that, you're just trash," The spiritual wisdom clearly didn't want Tang Rao to restart his cultivation from scratch.

"But I can't elevate my cultivation anymore, you know bloody well how much Spiritual Energy I need. Not to mention here in Blue Star, even in the Seventy-two Domains of the nine worlds, given my current demand for Spiritual Energy, it would take centuries to even think about crossing calamities, I can't wait that long," Tang Rao said earnestly, feeling genuinely ready to give up at that moment.

"Listen to me…" The spiritual wisdom, perhaps sensing Tang Rao's seriousness, "The inheritance of the King of Blood Clan is an opportunity for you. Trust me, once you receive the inheritance of the Blood Princess, your cultivation will definitely go smoothly."

"Oh? Why?" Tang Rao asked.

"Once you have the Blood Princess's inheritance, you can comprehend the methods of the Bloodthirsty Demon to absorb the power of the starry sky. Then, will you still worry about not having enough Spiritual Energy?" the spiritual wisdom explained.

"How do you know this? Didn't you say that you were a product of my own consciousness? Why do you know things that I don't?" Tang Rao had been suspicious of the spiritual wisdom for quite some time.

This entity had emerged too mysteriously, its wisdom equally bizarre.

"I am indeed born from you, but I am different from you; I am spiritual wisdom, a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao. I can understand the Heavenly Dao deeply which you cannot. Thus, there are things I perceive more clearly and thoroughly," the spiritual wisdom spoken.

Tang Rao fell silent.

He couldn't judge the authenticity of the spiritual wisdom's words.

"You don't need to doubt me, because I have no reason to harm you. If your power is weak, you can be destroyed. Once you perish, I will perish too. Do you think I would bet my existence on it?" the spiritual wisdom continued.

"Just trust me one more time, once you obtain the inheritance of the King of Blood Clan, you will surely be grateful!"

"Fine, I'll trust you one last time," Tang Rao nodded.
