Harness Cultivator - Chapter 79

After heading back to his own room, Lee Tao plopped to the bed as he cuddled himself with the blanket.

“Ahh, now I finally feel free and alive.” Lee Tao smiled.

“Young Master must have worked hard,” Tang Lingling said from behind as she brewed some tea.

“Indeed, socializing with those people is annoying as hell. And that Lin Cai had ruined my mood even further.”

Tang Lingling smiled slightly as she walked toward Lee Tao and handed him the teacup.

“You must have been exhausted, Young Master. This is some jasmine tea I brewed and it could help relieve your stress.”

Lee Tao glanced at the teacup that was emitting some white air, indicating that it was still hot.

Tang Lingling noticed his stare as she gently held the teacup back and blew on it.

“Seems like you have been getting better at detecting stuff.”

“Well, if I can’t even notice that slight change, then I would be unqualified to be a servant.”

Lee Tao nodded his head.

Sometime later, after cooling down the tea, Tang Lingling smiled at Lee Tao.

“The tea is now at a warm temperature, Young Master.”

“Feed me,” Lee Tao replied as he opened his mouth.

Tang Lingling was stunned for a moment before understanding the assignment.

With a nod, she sipped some of the tea slowly before leaning down her head.

She then proceeded to kiss him while pushing the tea into his mouth.

Occasionally, some tea would accidentally seep out from the corner of Tang Lingling’s mouth.

Lee Tao savored the tea as he stared at Tang Lingling’s wet lip.

“You have improved your craft,” he complimented.

After that, Lee Tao closed his eyes as he fell asleep quickly.

“…”

“Young Master?” Tang Lingling called out.

‘D-Did he really just fall asleep after that?’ She wondered silently.

A lingering bitterness taste hit her heart and soul as she wondered if she was still not good enough to serve him.

However, unbeknownst to her, Lee Tao was merely exhausted after harnessing the rich and dense Yin Energy from Liu Ying.

In his Soul State, Lee Tao stared at Xiao Chu with a solemn gaze.

“How was the mapping so far?” Lee Tao asked.

Xiao Chu continued with her task as she calmly replied, “The mapping is almost complete, and we would have the basic view of the four continents.”

“Why is the mapping taking that long? Aren’t you a Celestial Rank item?”

“Just because I’m a Celestial Rank item, doesn’t mean I’m invincible and can do whatever I want. This world is too profound and mysterious as there is some unknown force that could deflect my navigation.”

Lee Tao was dumbfounded.

‘Not even Xiao Chu can penetrate into some areas in this world?’ He exclaimed inwardly in shock.

The longer he stayed in this world, the less he recognized this place. Hell, there were even times that he wondered if they were truly in the First Heaven.

“Ugh, so many conflicts, and I can only sit idly in a small Kingdom to cultivate.” Lee Tao scratched his head in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chu nodded her head in agreement.

“Indeed, if it weren’t for Xiao Chu being by your side, you would have been nothing but a useless Young Master.” She said haughtily.

“And what exactly have you done to help me out?” Lee Tao snorted coldly.

“As far as I remember, the profound qi and Yin Energy were all harnessed by me through a lot of meticulous and tedious work.” He added.

“Stay delusional if you want. Xiao Chu has no time to chat with you as I still need to survey some difficult locations to complete the mapping.”

Without waiting for his response, Xiao Chu’s figure vanished, leaving Lee Tao’s Soul State alone.

‘Tch, what an ungrateful system-like necklace I have.’ Lee Tao clicked his tongue as he closed his eyes and began converting the Yin Energy he received into his own unique qi.

Every time he harnessed over his limit, his physical body and mental mind would be drained to the lowest.

Thus, he was always tired and sleepy.

It was the one weakness he has since his current cultivation base is way too low, causing his limit to be minimized as well.

“Hmph, just wait till I reach a certain cultivation rank. That way, I won’t be hindered by the so-called limitation in my physique.” Lee Tao muttered.

By the time Lee Tao woke up, it had already been two days.

“Young Master, you’re finally awake.” Tang Lingling cried aloud as she thanked heaven.

“How long have I been asleep?” Lee Tao asked.

“It’s been two days, and your aura has been slowly decreasing. Madam Liu said it was fine, but I couldn’t help but worry about your well-being.”

“I see… it’s nothing much. I simply overexerted myself and was cultivating.”

Afterward, Lee Tao stood up and had Tang Lingling dress him up in new clothes.

As a cultivator, it was actually normal to be in seclusion for more than 2 days.

However, Tang Lingling was worried because she was the servant and caretaker for Lee Tao.

She couldn’t afford to risk anything as her sole duty is to make sure Lee Tao is healthy.

Sometime later, after Lee Tao had dressed up, he turned around and asked her.

“Have Zuo Xiaoli received the news yet of her husband being detained in our prison?”

Tang Lingling nodded her head.

“Zuo Xiaoli had received the news two days ago while you were asleep or cultivating. However, because Madam Liu had given you the full authority in this matter, Zuo Xiaoli could not do anything until you’re awake.”

“Heh, as expected of my mother. She knows that I want to take control over this matter.”

“Pardon me for asking… but why do you want to take this matter into your hand?”

As far as Tang Lingling could recall his personality, Lee Tao was someone who would never do any work.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao flashed a wicked grin at her.

“Obviously, it’s to send a message.”
