Harness Cultivator - Chapter 133

“What’s wrong, Shi Tao?” Deng Lijuan asked nervously when she saw Lee Tao suddenly turn serious.

Lee Tao ignored her question as he held her hand tightly, hurting her in the process.

“You’re hurting me, Shi Tao…” Deng Lijuan showed a painful expression as she tried to pull away from him.

However, Lee Tao remained firm as he asked her in a deep voice.

“Deng Lijuan, when you were born, did you have some sort of item next to you?”

“Yes, now can you let go of my hand? It’s painful.”

Lee Tao released his grip as he breathed a sigh of relief.

‘Finally… I have met a person from the above heaven.’ He thought.

“Quickly, show me the item that you have.”

Although a bit confused by his reaction, Deng Lijuan slowly took out a safety charm from her pocket.

Lee Tao narrowed his eyes when he saw the purple safety charm with the word ‘Dan’ labeled on it.

‘Dan? Could Deng Lijuan be born by someone from the Dan Clan?’ Lee Tao wondered silently.

“What’s wrong with my safety charm?” Deng Lijuan asked.

“Nothing much, just keep it safe on you for now.” Lee Tao said as he turned around and started walking.

By this time, Deng Lijuan had partially understood his personality.

Thus, she didn’t bother asking any more questions as she followed behind him silently.

Sometime later, they started entering through the woods that were filled with magical beasts.

“Keep a close distance on me. The magical beasts are clever enough to know not to provoke me, so we’re less likely to be hunted on.” Lee Tao warned.

Deng Lijuan nodded her head.

Hastening her pace a bit, she made sure to be only two steps away from Lee Tao.

‘So spooky…’ Deng Lijuan thought as she saw the sky turning dark.

The air was also turning cold and she was only wearing some light clothes.

“Achoo”

Deng Lijuan sneezed when a cold breeze went by her.

“I really regret my decision already.” Lee Tao said as he retrieved a large and cozy scarf from his spatial ring.

Afterward, he threw the scarf toward Deng Lijuan.

“Wrap it around your neck and it should keep you warm for now.”

“T-Thank you, Shi Tao.”

“Enough of calling me, Shi Tao. Since you are going to be following me, call me Lee Tao when we’re alone. Shi Tao is just an alias of mine.” Lee Tao corrected.

Now that he had finished his assignment of apprehending Deng Lun, there wasn’t actually a point of using an alias anymore.

Deng Lijuan nodded her head.

However, even with the scarf on, she was still breathing out some cold air.

Lee Tao sighed softly as he decided to find a spot and camp there for the night.

“Go gather some wood for me,” Lee Tao said.

“O-Ok… but I don’t have an axe to chop the woods down.” Deng Lijuan said awkwardly.

She was just a mortal and to cut some trees down for woods is near impossible for her if there are no tools for her.

“Just what can you help with?” Lee Tao asked in a dumbfounded tone.

“I-I can cook food for us,” Deng Lijuan managed to stutter out.

She was afraid of being too useless and getting dumped by Lee Tao.

“You can stop being nervous, Deng Lijuan. Lee Tao is all talk but no bite anyway,” Xiao Chu suddenly revealed herself for the first time ever to someone other than Lee Tao.

Meanwhile, Deng Lijuan was shocked by the appearance of Xiao Chu as she tried to move back and accidentally tripped on the ground.

“W-W-Who is this floating little girl?” Deng Lijuan stuttered while glancing at Lee Tao with a terrified look.

Lee Tao was also dumbfounded by Xiao Chu revealing herself, but more so because she had talked badly about him again.

What does she mean by him being all talk but no bite?

He was a full-fledged bossy man that would not hesitate to kill without batting an eyelid.

“Xiao Chu, are you sure you want to rebel against me now?” Lee Tao asked in anger.

Xiao Chu shrugged her shoulders.

“What I’ve said is nothing but the truth. Other than those vile men, you have never really killed any women with a ruthless method.” Xiao Chu said.

“Oh, don’t you add Zhou Xiaoli in this either since she is still alive and well despite your so-called punishment.” She added.

Just when Lee Tao was about to slap the crap out of Xiao Chu for speaking nonsense, Deng Lijuan suddenly fainted.

“The fuck?”

Lee Tao turned around and stared at Deng Lijuan.

“Why did she faint again? Is this a new type of cliche shit with all these women?” He asked.

“Lee Tao, you should start treating her better already. After all, her origin is pretty unique.” Xiao Chu intervened as she inspected Deng Lijuan’s condition.

“Yeah, she’s from the higher heaven, but I can’t tell approximately where though. There are just too many subsidiaries of the Dan Clan that exist throughout the vast heaven.” Lee Tao said.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chu sighed softly at his ignorance.

“As expected of someone who would only care about harnessing people’s profound qi or women’s Yin Energy. Anything else is irrelevant or nonexistent to them.” Xiao Chu mumbled.

“Did you say something?”

“No, I just want to inform you that Deng Lijuan is probably someone from the main family of the Dan Clan.”

“What the fuck?” Lee Tao exclaimed aloud in shock. “How can Deng Lijuan be someone from the main family considering her current situation?”

“That- I don’t know either since I’m not a sage. However, her bloodline and physiques told me that she is definitely someone from the main family.”

Lee Tao squinted his eyes as he began to ponder over this information.

If what Xiao Chu had said is the truth, then Deng Lijuan is surely someone that would be useful to him in the future.

“With Deng Lijuan by my side… I can probably yoink everything from the Dan Clan as well.”
