The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1754 - 1753: Forest

As Tang Rao walked, he listened and observed the honor guards standing on both sides. Indeed, he was at the late stage of godhood, and his strength wasn't particularly outstanding among these people, hence others didn't pay much attention to him.It was precisely because he minimized his presence that he had the chance to look freely around.

"Thank you, Inspection Chief."

Family Head Liu stepped out from the crowd, greeted the Inspection Chief, and they began coordinating their work.

"You are too kind, we have prepared to host you here, and hope you have a perfect memory during your three days here!"

Ah, this was Tang Rao's long-cherished Central Island, perfectly flawless. Just one look at this island tempted Tang Rao to claim a piece of land for himself.

"The memories up until now are beautiful enough; wouldn't you be reluctant to leave?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the Inspection Chief's originally amiable smile immediately turned as dark as a thick clouded sky, "I'm sorry, Central Island only conducts general transactions with outsiders. If you wish to live here, I advise you to forget that idea!"

Fortunately, Tang Rao was able to read the situation, especially after Family Head Liu briefed him about Central Island's taboos earlier, he refrained from uttering any foolish words.

"I was just saying, merely admiring the environment here, and didn't intend to really live here!"

Despite his age, the man from the Business Alliance lost much of his accumulated prestige when the Inspection Chief's gaze fell upon him. He lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

"Not only did you not think about it, neither did I. I didn't expect that the visitors from North Island would know what to say and what not to say. You clearly said something you shouldn't have, which drew the attention of Central Island's residents. This warrants serious treatment!"

Family Head Liu's heart skipped a beat. He genuinely didn't anticipate this negligence in training, thinking it wouldn't happen hence no problem would arise. But he forgot that what could happen, did happen.

If the Inspection Chief gets mad because of this issue, all their privileges and benefits might be entirely lost.

"Inspection Chief, please give Lao Wei some leeway. Lao Wei is somewhat out of touch with society and doesn't know Central Island's taboos. I believe he cherishes his current family too much to start anew on Central Island. Rest assured, I will inform all our Business Alliance members, urging them not to say what shouldn't be said or inquire about what shouldn't be inquired. It's their first time here; I trust they won't commit these basic errors again."

Family Head Liu put his hands together, appearing sincerely apologetic.

"I'm giving you face, but as for those ignorant individuals, I hope their thoughts are transient. Next time, beware that I might claim their lives!!"

What?

Just wanting to live on Central Island was a mere thought held by countless people, yet it was their first time hearing someone threaten lives over such a trivial reason. The Inspection Chief's warning obliterated any lingering fantasies people might have had.

"Please come in, you are still our most distinguished guests."

The Inspection Chief gestured for them to proceed, and the welcoming procession warmly invited them inside.

Seeing the people smiling again, Tang Rao found it bizarre, as their smile was so genuine, as if nothing had happened just moments before.

The embassy had a main building specifically for academic exchanges and several auxiliary buildings intended for dining and lodging.

"Please dine first. Our academic exchange is scheduled for the afternoon, and until then, you are free to explore the embassy."

The embassy was spacious enough to explore for a whole day. Of course, if it weren't for other places being off-limits, Tang Rao wouldn't want to waste half a day here.

Central Island's dining wasn't vastly different from North Island, though undoubtedly more refined and varied.

But compared to the items in Tang Rao's Space Ring, these were minor leagues. Anyone who tasted Tang Rao's food could immediately discern the quality.

"Family Head Liu, would you like to explore the area?"

Tang Rao was the only representative from the Kao Shan Sect. During the meal, Tang Rao noticed Wu Gexin, but a crowd of friends surrounded him, so approaching now would make the Kao Shan Sect look bad. With this realization, Tang Rao stopped himself and instead sought out Family Head Liu to inquire about his plans.

"I have visited the embassy many times and seen the main sights. You can explore later; I'll find a place to rest first."

Family Head Liu preferred to sleep a bit, feeling it was more practical.

There wasn't much to see at the main embassy building; it was expansive yet unified. Other buildings were either for eating or sleeping, and beside the lodging building was a small forest that piqued Tang Rao's interest.

Though just an ordinary forest, Tang Rao noticed the exterior was covered in a faint golden hue. Hidden and fleeting, attentive observation could reveal this beautiful spectacle.

No guards surrounded the forest, and the Inspection Chief hadn't mentioned prohibiting entry, so entering should not violate any rules, right?

There was no sign or indication at the forest's entrance, and stepping past two pillar-like trunks, the lush trees blocked the falling light completely.

As he walked deeper, the golden light fully surrounded him.

"Hehehe, there's definitely no one here. Who dares enter here? For years, this has been our private playground. No one comes now, nor will anyone come in the future. Sister Zhou Zhou, there's a hot spring up ahead. Want to soak in it, what do you think?"

Soaking in the hot spring?

And it's a woman's voice?

Tang Rao had just arrived here; should things get thrilling?

"Not necessarily, what if someone comes? If we want a hot bath, better to return!"

The girl named Zhou Zhou didn't have as much nerve as the previous woman. She looked around, and even though she saw no one, she couldn't bring herself to bathe in broad daylight.
