Chapter 82 - Did You Miss Me?
Chapter 82 - Did You Miss Me?
Lee Tao stood up as he prepared to leave the guest room.
At the same time, he glanced at Tang Lingling with a wicked grin.
"Tang Lingling, do you still have the whip we bought today?" Lee Tao asked.
Tang Lingling nodded her head.
"Of course, Young Master. The owner had said the whip is enough to rip the skin off a magical beast." Tang Lingling said, while purposely making sure Zuo Xiaoli understood their next step.
"Perfect, I can't wait for how the whip would do against a cultivator." Lee Tao rubbed his hand together as he hastened his movement.
"H-Hold up a minute!"
Zuo Xiaoli suddenly shouted while her fists were clenched tightly.
Meanwhile, Lee Tao curled his lips upward as he expected this outcome.
'Finally couldn't keep it in huh?' He sneered inwardly as he paused his footstep and glanced at her.
"What's the matter, Zuo Xiaoli?" Lee Tao asked, dropping all sorts of honorifics for her as he directly called her full name.
Zuo Xiaoli took a deep breath before gazing at Lee Tao with a solemn expression.
"Speak, what are your terms and conditions to release my husband?" She asked.
Lee Tao tilted his head.
"Husband? What do you mean?" Lee Tao showed a dumbfounded look, almost like he had no idea what she's talking about.
"..."
Zuo Xiaoli bit her lips tightly as she lowered her head a bit. "Z-Zuo Xiaoli hereby pay respect to your little brother."
"Hahaha, that's the greeting you think I wanted?"
Lee Tao couldn't help but laugh sarcastically as he took a chair and sat down with his legs spread open.
He then gazed at Tang Lingling, who quickly crawled on her knee as she rubbed his crotch area with her cheek.
Lee Tao placed his hand on top of Tang Lingling's head as he stroked in gently in approval.
"As expected of my servant, she even understands basic etiquette more than some posers."
Zuo Xiaoli twitched her mouth.
Although her clan wasn't as powerful as the Lee Clan and the Liu Clan, she was still a reputed person.
There was no way she would act indecently in front of Lee Tao who is not even half of her age.
"Seems like I have disturbed Young Master Lee Tao for far too long," Zuo Xiaoli cupped her fist as she placed the jade bottle down.
"This is an alchemy pill that I had convinced a renowned alchemist to refine. I shall bid farewell for now."
After that, Zuo Xiaoli left in a huff.
If she had stayed any longer, she would be hearing more threats from Lee Tao on what he would do to his husband.
Thus, if she doesn't hear it, she could still pretend that nothing would happen- in other words, she can remain ignorant.
Sometime later, Tang Lingling stood up as she glanced at the empty door.
"What do we do now, Young Master?"
"Heh, now we play the waiting game."
"Waiting game?"
Lee Tao nodded his head.
Standing up, he walked toward the table that Zuo Xiaoli was using earlier as he grabbed the jade bottle and sniffed on the pill fragrance.
"Impurity Defragmentation Pill…" Lee Tao muttered.
An Impurity Defragmentation Pill is a pill designed to help cultivators extract the impurities in their bodies.
It was an extremely rare pill due to the ingredients and techniques required to refine one.
However, in Lee Tao's eyes, the Impurity Defragmentation Pill is nothing but a children's candy.
"That Zuo Xiaoli… did she think this shitty pill is enough to earn some of my forgiveness?" Lee Tao laughed as he threw the pill toward Tang Lingling.
"Although the pill is trash in my eyes, it can still help you out. Consume it at your leisure when you're cultivating."
"Thank you, Young Master." Tang Lingling gladly accepted it without hesitation.
Lee Tao nodded his head.
She had finally understood his personality and that is if he were willing to give you something, it's best to just accept it.
He hates hypocrites the most, so Tang Lingling didn't bother saying she doesn't want it when she really wants it in reality.
"Anyway, I'm going to the prison cell now while you should go ahead and extract some of your impurities out." Lee Tao waved his hand as he dismissed her.
"Then I'll serve you later tonight."
Sometime later, Lee Tao walked through a gloomy structure as the guards bowed their heads.
"Young Master Lee Tao," The guards greeted politely.
Ever since Lee Tao's public display of strength and how he easily defeated Lin Cai, no one in the Lee Clan dared to disrespect him again.
In fact, every servant and guard had their eyes sparkly whenever they saw Lee Tao.
Lee Tao simply nodded his head.
"I want to see Lin Cai." He then said calmly.
"Of course, Young Master. Madam Liu had already instructed Lin Cai to be treated well until further instruction from you."
"Oh… seems like mother really knows what type of person I am."
Afterward, Lee Tao threw two spirit stones to the guards as he smiled, "Consider that your treat for guarding against an idiot. I don't wish to be disturbed by anyone."
The guards quickly nodded their heads as they reassured Lee Tao that no one was permitted to enter.
Sometime later, Lee Tao slowly walked toward the dark atmosphere while occasionally hearing someone cursing aloud.
"Lee Tao, you imbecile bastard. You used some dirty tricks to defeat me."
"I will make sure to grind your teeth and smash your flesh into a pulp when I get out."
As Lin Cai cursed intensely, the chains on him could be heard making a clunking sound as he tried his best to break it.
Alas, it was a futile effort because his cultivation is currently suppressed- meaning he was unable to muster an ounce of profound qi in his body.
Meanwhile, Lee Tao clapped his hand while revealing himself in front of Lin Cai.
"Lin Cai, did you miss me?"
