Harness Cultivator - Chapter 25
After walking for a few more hours, Lin Cheng suddenly paused his footstep as he smiled slightly at everyone.
“We’re here.” Lin Cheng said.
“We’re at the ancient ruin already?” Meng Xue raised her eyebrow as she glanced around their surroundings. “There are only trees around here and nothing else.”
“Meng Xue, there must be something hidden around here.” Jia Qiu giggled as she calmed Meng Xue down.
Meanwhile, Lee Tao narrowed his gaze as he sensed a space distortion around the area.
‘Interesting…’ Lee Tao curled his lips upward as he held an amused expression.
“Why are you grinning like that?” Yao Meixiang asked. Her shoulder was still being used by Lee Tao so anything Lee Tao does, she would be the first one to notice.
“I don’t know… maybe because I recall someone wetting their pants.” Lee Tao shrugged as he started laughing.
Yao Meixiang gnashed her teeth in anger as she flung his arm away.
“Go kill yourself.” She then shouted as she walked away grumpily.
“Tang Lingling, go and inspect around them. Make sure you keep your eyes on Lin Cheng.” Lee Tao ignored the anger of Yao Meixiang as he ordered Tang Lingling.
Tang Lingling nodded her head as she followed after Yao Meixiang.
While everyone was concentrating on Lin Cheng and his action of using a relic item. Lee Tao decided to use this opportunity to communicate with Xiao Chu.
“Xiao Chu, do you sense the fluctuation?” Lee Tao asked Xiao Chu mentally when he saw Lin Cheng take out some sort of relic item in his spatial ring.
“Un, the space around your current location indicates a space crack.” Xiao Chu replied.
Lee Tao narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Lin Cheng.
‘How did he manage to find the space crack when there wasn’t any sign of indication?’ Lee Tao wondered silently.
Sometime later, Lin Cheng’s relic item started blinking and a small space crack started opening.
“Alright, the portal is open.” Lin Cheng shouted as he wiped off some sweat with his sleeve. “The portal will close soon so everyone, please enter as quickly as possible.”
Afterward, Lin Cheng was the first person to step foot inside the portal as he vanished from sight.
Meng Xue and Jia Qiu quickly followed behind with some other students.
“What are you dilly-dallying for?” Yao Meixiang shouted as she glared at Lee Tao. “Didn’t you hear Lin Cheng saying the portal would close soon? Hurry up otherwise, you’re going to get left behind.”
Yao Meixiang then entered the portal and with a whooshing sound, she disappeared from the rainforest.
Meanwhile, Tang Lingling stood still as she wasn’t going to go in alone without confirming that Lee Tao would enter.
“Make sure to begin analyzing the structure when we head in, Xiao Chu.” Lee Tao told Xiao Chu mentally before walking toward the portal.
“Let’s go.” Lee Tao said to Tang Lingling.
Tang Lingling nodded her head as she followed Lee Tao closely behind. As they entered the portal, they felt a wave of spiritual qi hitting through their consciousness.
“This is-” Tang Lingling held a gawking expression as she activated a barrier around her and Lee Tao.
“Young Master, careful of these space elements creatures here.” She warned. “I don’t know what they are but they emitted a profound aura. It would be bad if they began targeting us.”
Lee Tao smirked as he patted her shoulder.
“You worry too much.” Lee Tao said as he snapped his finger. A slight profound qi then emitted outward, causing the space element creature to halt their movement.
“They are just space remnants.” He added.
Soon, the space remnants surrounding them began to disperse, almost like they no longer dared to approach Lee Tao any closer.
Lee Tao then wrapped his arms around Tang Lingling’s waist, making sure the space remnants didn’t dare to reappear and approach her closer as that would become problematic.
‘Why are there some space remnants inhabiting this area?’ Lee Tao pondered as he made sure Xiao Chu recorded the distinctive space remnants’ existence into the data.
Each space remnant has its own unique features and they are formed whenever there’s a space crack. However, it was extremely unusual and rare for a space remnant to appear as they needed to meet many conditions to be formed.
Thus, Lee Tao wanted to investigate as this was the first time he encountered something that doesn’t belong in the First Heaven.
Meanwhile, Tang Lingling was awestruck by his display of power but kept her mouth shut as she noted this scene in her mind.
‘Lee Tao… Just how many secrets are shrouding around you behind the shameless and scoundrel display of yours?’ Tang Lingling sighed inwardly as she glanced at the alluring and handsome figure of Lee Tao.
Lee Tao and Tang Lingling spend the next few seconds drifting through space before they are thrown into an unknown cave.
“You sure took your merry time.” Yao Meixiang said as she crossed her arms.
Her eyes were sharp as she took notice of Tang Lingling’s close contact with Lee Tao.
‘Why is he hugging her waist?’ Yao Meixiang cried inwardly. ‘What is this burning sensation in my heart?’
They were being intimate and she felt her heart aching for some unknown reason.
“There were some space remnants so it took a while.” Lee Tao explained as he yawned.
“Haha, we thought there were some mishaps with Brother Lee Tao in the portal so Junior Sister Yao Meixiang was worried.” Lin Cheng suddenly said as he walked toward them.
Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes when he saw Tang Lingling’s waist being held by Lee Tao, his thought unknown.
“Heh, what mishaps could there be for me?” Lee Tao smirked as he ignored Lin Cheng and glanced at Yao Meixiang.
“So what now?” He asked.
“We’re going to follow a map that Senior Brother Lin Cheng had obtained.” Yao Meixiang replied.
“Is his map even reliable?” Lee Tao sneered as he pulled Tang Lingling closer to him.
“Tang Lingling, do you think the map is reliable?”
