Chapter 1764 - 1763: Bronze King
"Success? Don't even dream about it. Although I really like him and think he's quite good-looking, with a slightly bad personality that's sometimes infuriating, it doesn't affect my feelings for him. However, if you in this mix want us to be together, no matter how much I like him, I won't agree to your unreasonable demand.""Daughter, I have to criticize you a bit here. Encountering true love is a good thing. You can't just refuse true love because you're mad at me, can you?"
The old man wasn't actually persuading his daughter; he was persuading the uneaten donuts. Only if the two of them got together could the old man eat those donuts justifiably.
"Yes, since you put it that way, I have nothing left to say. Later, I'll go out and find Tang Rao and let him know you're interested in him. By then, I'll pair you two off, and Dad, I'll just wish you two a happy hundred years in advance."
Is she really his own daughter? Really?
If she's truly his daughter, how could she doubt her father's orientation in this regard?
"Daughter, you're going a bit too far here. Can you really talk to your father like this?"
The old man almost wanted to slam the table and reason with Rao Linger. Luckily, Rao Linger realized she had caused trouble and quickly sprinted out.
"Huh, I thought you'd get in trouble, but you came out perfectly fine?"
Tang Rao was standing outside watching the fun. Initially, he planned to leave but then thought, if he left, he'd miss out on a good show.
"You're gloating. You really want to see the drama between my dad and me?"
Rao Linger glared sideways, thinking she could scare Tang Rao into stepping back, but instead, he moved forward and lifted Rao Linger's chin with one hand, saying thoughtfully, "The first time I saw you, I didn't realize you had such a cute side. Now I find you cuter and think you're foolish!"
Don't overthink. Whoever Tang Rao describes as cute, he always means the same thing with his next thought.
Cute is essentially a sign of foolishness.
He knew this meaning, but Rao Linger didn't. Upon hearing Tang Rao's compliment, her anger vanished from her chest.
"Am I really cute? They all think I'm fierce. The only friend I have around is Sister Zhou Zhou, but Sister Zhou Zhou has never called me cute!"
It seems Rao Linger truly is all bust and no brains, just carrying a head around like a mere ornament.
"Yes, you're extremely cute, especially when you explained our relationship to your dad. You became even more adorable!"
Cute, even more adorable?
Explaining the relationship?
Rao Linger completely realized what he meant. His words earlier weren't praise for her; they were blatant mockery, and the key was Rao Linger hadn't caught onto any of it from the start.
"What do you mean, you were just playing with me?"
Rao Linger was quite displeased and directly summoned the divine artifact. Before Tang Rao had time to react, a nine section whip was already heading his direction.
"I didn't expect you to be like this. Watch the whip!"
Rao Linger swung the whip, feeling as though she had aimed, but when the whip struck, it unexpectedly missed.
"The person who taught you this nine section whip must have died rather early, right?"
Died rather early, what does that mean?
After Tang Rao spoke, it took a while for Rao Linger to react, and when she did, Tang Rao was already covering his mouth, laughing secretly.
"You dare mock me for not being skilled with the nine section whip? Soon, I'll show you who between us is more skilled with the whip!"
The second whip swiftly headed towards Tang Rao, this time brimming with thick immortal energy.
Rao Linger got a bit fierce this time. When she got fierce, she even scared herself.
It's a pity that a woman, after all, is just a woman. Her skills compared to Tang Rao were still far behind.
"Friend, with your skills, I could beat you with one hand tied, even ten moves or a hundred, and you still wouldn't be my opponent!"
Tang Rao had the confidence to be cocky. Although he was at the same late deity stage as Rao Linger, evaluating someone involved not only assessing their skill but also their foundation. If someone's foundation was insufficient, no matter how strong they seemed, they might just be a shell.
"Don't you enjoy playing with this nine section whip? Why don't I demonstrate the genuine way to use it for you? Consider it a free eye-opener!"
With that, Tang Rao also held onto a nine section whip.
This whip was made from the hair of ancient Divine Beasts, incredibly durable and flexible, existing as a contradictory entity, unique in the world, passed among males but not females, among insiders but not outsiders. Tang Rao obtained this whip by chance and discovered, surprisingly, that as long as he held it, he could easily master it.
"Look, when wielding the nine section whip, where to apply force and the existing techniques, let Daddy teach you all at once. From now on, you're Daddy's closed-door disciple!"
Closed-door disciple, really, with Tang Rao?
To put it bluntly, Tang Rao couldn't even hold a candle to Rao Linger, let alone thinking Rao Linger would become his disciple, an impossibility among impossibilities.
"Dream on, no matter how sweet your words are, the real skill will reveal everything!"
With that, Rao Linger aimed her own nine section whip at Tang Rao's whip, hoping to teach him a lesson. However, instead of teaching him anything, her whip broke into two sections.
One section remained in her hand, the other peacefully fell to the ground.
"Looks like even heaven can't help you. The fact proves my whip is indeed more powerful. In front of me, you're nothing but trash!"
Rao Linger originally thought she could make a name for herself before Tang Rao, but not only did she fail to do so she also lost face, dropping from King to bronze level, an adorable contrast she found difficult to bear.
"Do you still want to teach me a lesson? If you're still unhappy and want to teach me one, I'm afraid the whip in your hand needs some time to repair back to its original form. How about I give you some time, and we can compete after it's fixed, to avoid you saying I won unfairly."
After all, an insult is an insult; twice is just a lesson for Rao Linger, to ensure she doesn't think she's invincible wherever she goes.
"Get lost, I never want to see you again..."
Rao Linger spoke with a slightly choked voice. She threw the whip from her hands to the ground and rushed out.
"Hey, King!!"
