Harness Cultivator

After being taunted continuously by Lee Tao for their foolish actions, he finally stopped and grinned at Zhou Jingjing.

"So what are you going to do if you manage to capture me?" He asked, trying his best to not laugh.

Zhou Jingjing wanted to keep quiet, but when she saw Lee Tao swing his sword closer at Zheng Wenling she quickly confessed.

"If we manage to capture you as a hostage, then we can use you as a chip to bargain with Madam Liu of the Liu Clan. The Qingzhou Kingdom Emperor had long been eyeing the Tianyun Kingdom, but couldn't make a move because of Madam Liu's presence."

Lee Tao nodded his head.

Indeed, by capturing him, it would only be right that the success of the Qingzhou Kingdom capturing the Tianyun Kingdom would be magnified by a large margin.

He was the weakness of Liu Ying and anyone that got their hands on him would render her useless.

Unfortunately, though, they hadn't expected the known trash was actually someone powerful.

Truly, he was the definition of a crouching tiger and hidden dragon.

They had severely underestimated his capability and failed to complete any malicious intent at him.

Lee Tao almost felt pity for the Qingzhou Kingdom Emperor since his plans were a failure before they had even begun.

"Aiyah, how can a fool become an emperor? That is just a mystery in itself." Lee Tao laughed aloud.

Zhou Jingjing twitched her mouth.

If she were to hear these words before meeting Lee Tao, then she would have already sliced their mouth into pieces.

However, now she wouldn't even bother with anyone disregarding their emperor. Thanks to his insignificant knowledge and management, the emperor had essentially sent her to a deadly mission with zero chance of success.

'I am truly blessed by the emperor. Telling me to fight against a cultivator that is in control of a Chimera.' She sneered silently.

Sometime later, Lee Tao released the chain attached to her wrist, shocking the crap out of Zhou Jingjing.

The chain that was restraining every bit of her ability was dropped on the ground, no longer affecting her.

"Why?"

That was all Zhou Jingjing could ask as she wondered if Lee Tao was trying to kill her when she could utilize her full ability or not.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders at her confusion.

"In this type of situation, killing you or sparing you has no effect on the situation. Therefore, I won't even bother wasting my time on you when I know who to fucking target now." He snorted coldly.

The emperor of the Qingzhou Kingdom had really hit a nerve on Lee Tao's bottom line.

He was simply using their kingdom as a waypoint or travel path to arrive at his destination. Yet, the emperor had the audacity to try to capture him and use him as a bargaining chip against his mother.

Does he really look like some easy fish that can be placed on the chopping board?

In Lee Tao's mind, the action from the emperor was nothing but a declaration of war to him.

And as an immortal, Lee Tao would gladly help the emperor to broaden his vision that there are some people that you simply cannot provoke or annoy.

"Zhou Jingjing, you may leave now." Lee Tao said calmly while waving his hand to bid her farewell.

However, she wasn't a bit jubilant because Lee Tao stood up and dragged Zheng Wenling toward the bed.

"I have never dissected a female cultivator before, so I shall see what is truly under these smooth and jade-like skin." He laughed evilly.

It wasn't just Zhou Jingjing's face that had turned pale, but even Deng Lijuan was shocked by the words he uttered.

Meanwhile, Zheng Wenling was surprisingly calm at the situation, almost like she didn't even care about her fate.

She had her eyes closed and showed zero resistance from the dragging. Ever since she had stood up in front of Zhou Jingjing, she had already prepared to sacrifice her life to save her.

Hence, being dissected by Lee Tao does not affect her mindset.

Lee Tao was seemingly surprised by the resolution of Zheng Wenling and gave an approval.

'Ahh, this is truly a rare sight that one can never see in the Ninth Heaven. Everyone is selfish for their own life.' He thought.

"Deng Lijuan, throw Zhou Jingjing out and keep the door shut while I'll do my experiment." Lee Tao ordered.

Deng Lijuan wanted to say that it's inhumane to dissect her, but she didn't dare to say it aloud considering her position. As a disciple, she was not supposed to go against their master's decision unless they wanted to revolt.

Thus, Deng Lijuan nodded her head and proceeded to drag Zhou Jingjing out.

"Wait, stop it. I'm willing to exchange positions with Zheng Wenling," Zhou Jingjing shouted aloud.

There was no way she could live on if she knew her life was saved by the sacrifice of Zheng Wenling.

She flung Deng Lijuan's hand away and ran toward Lee Tao. Afterward, she kneeled in front of him and started banging her head.

"I take better care of my skin more than Zheng Wenling. Dissecting me would provide more valuable information than her, so you should replace her with me." Zhou Jingjing practically begged to be dissected.

"Senior Sister, stop shouting nonsense and leave the Sierra Desert already."

"You be quiet. Since I'm the senior sister then I'm supposed to be the one to take care of you and not the other way around."

"You have done your role more than enough already, Senior Sister. Let me take some burden for you."

"What kind of burden requires you to be dissected?"

As their argument continued regarding who is to be dissected, Lee Tao was calmly enjoying a shoulder massage from Deng Lijuan.

"Are you girls done arguing already?" Lee Tao suddenly said as he sipped some tea.

"Now that I think about it, dissecting people is too messy and disgusting. So how about this, Zhou Jingjing. Be my double spy, and both of your lives can be spared."
