Harness Cultivator

Chapter 114 - Celestial Body

Hearing Lee Tao's provocation, Liu Lanfen gnashed her teeth as she tried her best to remain conscious.

"Oh, you are still conscious?" Lee Tao raised an eyebrow.

"I was expecting a flat-road to appear in front of me by now." He added.

"Save the provocation, Lee Tao. My willpower is not that weak." Liu Lanfen snorted coldly.

"If you say so then."

With that said, Lee Tao increased his movement as he forcefully bent some of her bone marrow.

The process was extremely grueling for Liu Lanfen, but she refused to give up.

Gnashing her teeth tightly, Liu Lanfen's eyes turned bloodshot as she remained conscious throughout the entire process.

Time slowly passed by, and Lee Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

'Ugh, that's way too much curing… Why am I killing myself with such tedious work?' Lee Tao cried inwardly as he wiped off some of his sweat.

"You still alive, Liu Lanfen?" Lee Tao asked.

"S-Somewhat…" Liu Lanfen replied in a weak tone as she leaned down toward Lee Tao's lap out of exhaustion.

However, she had forgotten that she was currently wearing nothing on her chest area.

Thus, her flat-chested boob was exposed to Lee Tao completely.

"Seriously, Liu Lanfen?" Lee Tao twitched his brow at her action.

"I know I didn't want a reward, but you didn't have to punish my eyesight with your near non-existent boob." He added.

"W-What?" Liu Lanfen muttered before realizing her current position.

"Wahhh!" She screamed in panic as she quickly snatched her clothes and covered herself.

Shen then backed toward the wall of the bed as she glared at Lee Tao.

"Did you see it?" Liu Lanfen asked in a trembling voice.

Lee Tao held a deadpan expression.

What kind of stupid question was that?

Did he see it, she asked? Obviously fucking yes, otherwise he might as well get an eye check.

Her exposed body part was right in front of his eyes, so what did she want him to say?

"Liu Lanfen, did your brain cells drop down when I altered your bone marrow?" Lee Tao asked in a hilarious tone. "You straight-up expose your entire boobs to me, so why wouldn't I see it."

Liu Lanfen's face turned bright red as she quickly dressed underneath the blanket.

Afterward, without saying another word, she hopped off the bed and rushed out.

"What the hell?" Lee Tao shouted in a dumbfounded tone. 

"Where's my payment?!" 

Alas, Liu Lanfen had long left the scene to hear his words. 

Sometime later, Lee Tao panted heavily as he coughed out some blood.

"Lee Tao, your usage of profound qi right now is above your current capacity. If you continue to overuse your strength like that, then I'm afraid you might receive a backlash." Xiao Chu appeared as she warned him.

She then revealed a projection screen showing Lee Tao's free body diagram and status.

Lee Tao chuckled softly when he saw the data about him.

"Heh, I know my body more than anyone else. You can stop wasting your time doing something like this, Xiao Chu." Lee Tao said as he consumed a medicinal pill.

"My current body is no longer that of an Immortal, so sustaining my profound qi may be a bit difficult, but nothing I can't handle." 

"Stop lying to me, Lee Tao. I'm here to assist you so I know everything about you. There's no point of spouting nonsense in front of me."

Lee Tao smiled bitterly as he no longer bothered to reason with her. 

After a few minutes, Lee Tao asked, "How much time do I have left before the corrosion hits me?"

"According to the data recorded, you'll have around 2 months or so to get rid of the corrosion."

Lee Tao nodded his head in understanding.

Being a harness cultivator might sound easy but the price that comes with it is not something everyone can bear.

Since harnessing other profound qi, Lee Tao must bear the corrosiveness of it and endure the pain before it could turn into his. 

And the more denser and powerful the profound qi they are, the harder it was for him to solidify it.

Hence, he was always exhausted and needed a long resting time.

"Haa, if only I could obtain a Celestial body… then I wouldn't have to struggle this much." Lee Tao sighed softly as he felt bitterness when he recalled the incident in the Ninth Heaven.

Back then, he was not only trying to harness the Yin Energy from the Celestial Supreme's daughter, but he was also trying to obtain their greatest secret.

The secret of cultivating a Celestial Body that can withstand all sorts of things, including the backlash of his Harness Cultivation technique.

As Lee Tao regretted his failure in doing so, Xiao Chu was holding a solemn expression as she glanced at him.

'Sorry, Lee Tao… but you're still not ready to receive this yet.' Xiao Chu thought as she kept a hidden locked data back into her necklace. 

Meanwhile, Lee Tao had quickly fallen asleep in his bed as he rested for the entire night.

By the time morning arrived, Lee Tao received a message from Zou Xiaoli.

"I have captured half of the people on the list, Lee Tao."

Lee Tao read the message with a somewhat disappointed expression.

"Even after this long… Zou Xiaoli could only capture half? Did I overestimate her ability?" Lee Tao muttered as he stood up and glanced around his room.

Seeing how there was no change in his room, Lee Tao was sure that nobody had come inside when he fell asleep.

Retrieving a talisman, Lee Tao called for Tang Lingling.

A few minutes later, Tang Lingling knocked on the door as she asked softly, "Young Master, what can I do for you?" 

"Arrange a meeting with Zou Xiaoli… I have something that I want to ask her about." 

"Understood, I will contact her as soon as possible." Tang Lignling replied as she left the area.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao sat on his chair and tapped on the table slightly. 

"Seems like I need to remind Zou Xiaoli who's the boss…"
