The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1743 - 1742: Escalating Tensions

The Ent agreed too quickly, Tang Rao thought this little child's words seemed premeditated.However, once the two made an agreement, it was like forming a contract. The contract was created, and without Tang Rao's guidance, the Ent quickly sensed the presence of the portable palace and voluntarily entered it.

"Hey, the Immortal Energy here is more abundant than the energy in my tree, worth it!"

The Ent bounced around inside the portable palace like a country bumpkin entering the city, as if he had never seen the world.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly having an extra child in the portable palace, another child was not very happy.

"Who are you then?"

The Ent didn't answer the Fire Ginseng's question but asked back.

"This is our territory, you are a newcomer who didn't even introduce yourself, and have no basic manners. Tang Rao is really annoying, bringing all sorts of people into the portable palace now!"

The Little Hedgehog naturally sided with the Fire Ginseng. Without confirming the identity of this outsider, they wouldn't touch a hair of the Ent.

"Your master cut down my tree; this place is compensation to me. Strictly speaking, it's my territory. If you want to continue staying here, you have to listen to me and show me respect, or I'll electrocute all of you and throw you out!"

The Ent tilted his head, threatening the others, while also noticing the Hellfire Shark in the river and the other creatures Tang Rao picked up like junk.

In his eyes, the portable palace was the place for him to live, compensated by Tang Rao. Besides him, even those who had long lived here were, at best, temporarily occupying his territory, ready to be cleaned out like garbage by him.

"What do you mean by that, that none of us belong here, and now this place is your territory?"

The Hellfire Shark, with its fiery temper, seldom got angry. If it wasn't provoked, it wouldn't argue with the Ent.

"Since you know it's my territory, be sensible by going out voluntarily; otherwise, it'll be embarrassing being thrown out by me."

Tang Rao watched every move in the portable palace, wanting to see how capable the Ent was, and whether he could integrate into the big group as quickly as possible.

"Who's embarrassing is still uncertain. Tang Rao's favorite is us, with so many years of feelings; he loves us dearly. He won't kick us out for a stranger like you, hmph!"

The Fire Ginseng knew Tang Rao best, just as Tang Rao was the person the Fire Ginseng trusted the most.

"Anyway, this place is mine now. You want to live here? No problem. From now on, you have to listen to me, and I'll reluctantly agree to let you have a place to stay."

"Impossible, this wasn't your home to begin with; we lived here first, why should we listen to you? It makes no sense!"

"Yeah, yeah, let's ask Tang Rao to judge who should have the final say in the portable palace."

Tang Rao thought he could watch from the sidelines, but found himself pushed into a trap headfirst.

"Tang Rao, you judge this, what kind of people did you bring in? He thoroughly disrupted our harmonious group and threatened to electrocute all of us. Is there any law in the portable palace?"

The biggest conflicts in the portable palace were between the Fire Ginseng and the Ent, as they looked alike, were humanoid, and weren't on good terms since the Ent arrived.

"Tang Rao, if you dare to speak wrongly, I'll keep electrocuting you until you doubt your life, and I'll electrify your entire Kao Shan Sect and tell them they're suffering because of you."

One side played a familial card, while the other directly threatened violence, giving Tang Rao a headache. With external threats unresolved, internal strife commenced.

"Little one, let me tell you, I did not take you in because I fear you. Who is Tang Rao? Your little electric power is nothing to me, don't think you can threaten me with it. And you, this is your home, having confidence is good, although the newcomer's attitude isn't very well, since he's here, he's still my guest, and treating guests with minimum courtesy is necessary, right?"

Tang Rao lectured both sides, and both could see Tang Rao was starting to speak angrily, causing them to quiet down a bit.

"What now? Our relations are already terrible; forcing us together will only lead to more conflict. If absolutely necessary, let me live in your Little World; I'm sure it's peaceful, which I like."

The Ent was still hoping Tang Rao would suddenly agree to let him in the Little World.

"What? How shameless can you be? The portable palace aside, you want to enter Tang Rao's Little World?"

The Fire Ginseng had followed Tang Rao for years and seldom entered the Little World. What did this Ent say just now? He asked Tang Rao to send him to the Little World to live?

If Tang Rao dared to agree to his unreasonable request, he would resort to crying, screaming, and making a fuss.

"Shameless? Be polite, do I have to electrocute you to quiet you down?"

The Ent was about to close his mouth when a tongue of flame spewed in his direction.

Terrified, Tang Rao knew little of how skilled the Ent was with electricity, unaware the Ent naturally feared fire.

Just looking at fire terrified him; never mind that the flame was aimed at the Ent.

"Fire, ah, fire fire fire, am I going to die, don't burn me, I don't want to die!"

Frightened by the flame, though not burned, the Ent rolled on the ground.

Evidently, the flame scared the Ent greatly.

"Hahahahaha, I thought you were fearless; turns out you're afraid of fire! You do have something to fear!"

Tang Rao hadn't realized, though the Ent was adept at lightning, being wood-based meant fire was his nemesis; even powerful, in front of fire, he could only be as small as a kitten, standing as told by the Fire Ginseng without daring to sit.

"Hmph!"

Scared by the flame, his earlier arrogance had disappeared, blown away by the wind and turned cold.

"Tang Rao, that guy's dwelling was destroyed by you, he has nowhere to stay, we can't just chase him to the door."
