Harness Cultivator

Chapter 182: Queen Cai Hong

Lee Tao was suspicious of the gentle and polite demeanor of Cai Hong.

He would be a fool to believe she was actually trying to welcome them like some honorable guests.

After all, they were technically ambushed by the snakesmen and forcefully brought over to their clan. In other words, they should be considered prisoners in the eyes of the snakespeople clan.

Lee Tao remained vigilant as he calmly asked, "What does the queen of the snakespeople clan wish to do to have us brought over here?"

"The audacity!" One of the snakesmen guards shouted in anger when they sensed a hint of sneering from Lee Tao's tone.

Cai Hong slowly raised her hand to stop the guard from overreacting. After that she smiled slightly at Lee Tao, "Although I can't understand why your cultivation base is showing the lowest realm, I would be an ignorant queen to believe that's your true strength, right?"

"Oh, do clarify your meanings for me?"

"Haha, you are really a humorous person. If I'm not wrong, your true strength should be around the True Lord Realm. Your cultivation base should be superficial and you are merely concealing your strength to deceive others."

This time, Lee Tao was a bit surprised since it was the first time someone could actually determine his true strength.

Although he was always in the Spiritual Elementary Realm, his true prowess could be extended to the True Lord Realm. Of course, that does not include his other powerful techniques and items that could assist him in battle.

Cai Hong also understood this part, hence, she didn't dare to openly start a fight against Lee Tao. A battle of such a level would definitely result in a lot of casualties. To make things worse, he was here in her camp, causing her to be distressed and shackled.

The advantage they have for having more people now came to bite her back.

"Hehe, so are we a guest here or a captive here, Queen Cai Hong?" Lee Tao said cheekily.

What she had in mind, Lee Tao had already long predicted it. Hence, he was never afraid of being brought here since her people were what caused them to be helpless about him.

Of course, he could also predict wrong and that the queen was in fact a merciless person and doesn't care about her own people. And when that happens, Lee Tao doesn't mind going all out for once to defeat her.

So what if she had the cultivation base of a Heaven Spirit Realm? That realm in the higher world is similar to ants in their eyes.

Even though it might be a bit difficult to fight her, Lee Tao was confident enough to win. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to venture into the Sierra Desert.

Sometime later, Cai Hong breathed out a soft sigh as she smiled rigidly, "You are naturally our guests here. Shall we head over to my palace and discuss further?"

When she finished saying that, the rest of the snakespeople had their eyes widened in surprise.

Why was their queen treating the captives as guests?

A bunch of questions brood over their minds, but none of them dared to utter a single complaint aloud. She was their queen and her words were the final verdict.

Anyone that dared to challenge her verdict would be seen as a traitor and shall be dealt with the highest level of punishment available for them.

Meanwhile, some of the elderly snakesmen that was an advisor to the queen held a complicated gaze.

Others might not know, but as advisors, they understood their queen deeply. For her to behave in such a way was a clear indication to them that the people in front of them were not easy targets.

'Elders, make sure to have everyone slowly evacuate the camp in case things go amiss.' Cai Hong sent a mental transmission to an elder while keeping her calm expression on the surface.

Sure enough, the elder was shocked inwardly but made sure to show zero change in his expression. He pretended like he had heard nothing and proceeded to arrange for the guard to be polite toward their guests of honor.

With that said, Lee Tao ordered Da Mung to follow the queen and the rest of the snakespeople to their so-called palace.

While they were traveling, Deng Lijuan was uneasy at the situation as she felt it was too fake.

"Master, why do I feel like they are still hostile to us despite their gentleness?" Deng Lijuan tugged on Lee Tao's shoulder and whispered softly to him.

Since she was working in a tavern for a long period of time, she had naturally picked up a few gifts to see through some people.

Right now, she sensed that there was something wrong with the snakespeople attitude even though they are currently being friendly. It was a weird feeling and she felt like her body was being pricked by a needle. She was clearly uncomfortable with the situation.

"Heh, that's because they are indeed hostile to us, Deng Lijuan." Lee Tao replied and proceeded to explain their current situation. By the time he finished his explanation, Deng Lijuan was in disbelief.

"Haaa, the queen must really want to strangle you to death then," She commented. Being powerful, but unable to do anything to Lee Tao was definitely not a good feeling for someone like her.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jingjing and Zheng Wenling glanced at each other with a bittered smile. Weren't they in the same situation as the queen previously?

Now that they are from an outsider's perspective, they came to finally understand just how despicable Lee Tao can be.

"What should we do then, Lee Tao? Are they going to poison us using food as an excuse?" Deng Lijuan asked. Her imagination was going wild as she could come up with so many scenarios which the queen would use to deal with them.

Lee Tao twitched his mouth. "Have you read too many novels or listened to many fake stories in the past? How can the queen be that dumb to try and poison us?"

"B-But she hates us and wishes to kill us if she ever gets a chance to do so."

"It's exactly because of that reason why she won't try to poison us, Deng Lijuan. At most, she would secretly delay us in a dining room and feed us luxurious meals while secretly transporting all her people away from the camp." Lee Tao smirked.

The queen was still too green to try and play the scheming against him. Whatever she had in plan, Lee Tao had a counter to it. It was a checkmate from the start when she allowed him to enter their camp.

Right now, he was merely thinking about how to extract information from them. Plus, the queen was indeed a top-quality milf that he wouldn't mind enjoying.

"It would be nice if the snakesmen clan were to face some catastrophe scenario. That way, I can swoop in to help and taste the forbidden fruit as well." Lee Tao's lips curled upward.

His words were naturally heard by the three women by his side and they couldn't help but roll their eyes.

As expected of a lecherous and notorious man. He was still calm and collected despite being provoked by the guard simply because he wanted to enter the queen's body.

"What a horrible man!" Zheng Wenling spat but didn't dare to raise her voice high when she recalled being pounded by him.

It was a shame for her though because Lee Tao had an extraordinary hearing and could hear her remark.

"Zheng Wenling, are you that desperate to 'fight' again?" Lee Tao turned around and asked her with a cold smile.

Zheng Wenling's body trembled slightly as she hurriedly shook her head and apologized.

"F-Forgive me, Lee Tao. It was just a slip of my tongue. I don't dare to say it again."

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

A slip of a tongue? When that happens, it is usually because it was from their true thoughts.

Although he might have ravaged her thoroughly, her mind was still resistant to him and would repel him. It would take some time for her mind to be corrupted by his method.

"Keke, just wait till you actually know my capability. At that time, it would be you begging to be under me," Lee Tao laughed heartily. Every woman that he had encountered so far had always been charmed by him when they realized his prowess.

Time slowly passed by, and Cai Hong finally stopped her movement as she turned around.

"We have arrived at my palace, honorable guests. I will have someone send the meal to you very soon considering the journey you have been through." She said calmly.

Lee Tao sneered inwardly at her arrangement that seemed to be treating them as real honorable guests.

'Ahh, Queen Cai Hong… how could you be so shrewd? You are making me tingling in excitement and increasing my desire to want you more~'
