Harness Cultivator

After numerous warnings from Lee Tao, Deng Lijuan had enough.

"I get it, Master. I won't be shocked or surprised at whatever you're trying to do." Deng Lijuan shouted aloud.

"And if I somehow fail to do that, then… you can do whatever you want." She added.

Seeing her flustered expression, Lee Tao snickered coldly as he nodded his head.

"Very well then, you shall witness what this world calls… the amazing summoning technique."

With a palm slamming down on the sand, Lee Tao triggered an insane amount of dust around them.

Soon, a glowing light occurred and Deng Lijuan was forced to close her eyes.

Despite having her vision shut, Deng Lijuan could subtly hear a loud bang from somewhere close to her.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, a loud growl echoed around her, causing her to raise her guard.

Without hesitation, Deng Lijuan quickly retrieved a sword that Lee Tao had given to her as she infused the sword with profound qi.

"Show yourself, beast." Deng Lijuan snorted coldly as she was ready to hack at the enemy.

"Just what are you doing?" Lee Tao asked once the dust around him scattered away.

And with the dust gone, Deng Lijuan's eyes nearly popped open when an enormous beast appeared in front of her with a ferocious expression.

To make things worse, Lee Tao was sitting on top of the beast with a nonchalant expression.

"W-W-What is that beast doing?" Deng Lijuan exclaimed in shock.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao curled his lips upward as he made an evil grin.

"Whoopsie… seems like someone had failed to fulfill their promises~" Lee Tao teased, causing Deng Lijuan's face to turn bright red from embarrassment.

Just before, she was acting all high and mighty, controlling her emotion to not be shocked. Yet, all were gone by the moment she saw an enormous beast popping out from nowhere.

Of course, the beast was none other than the Chimera that Lee Tao had tamed during his expedition to the ancient ruin.

It has also been a long time since Lee Tao had met with it. After all, he was simply too busy to re-enter the ancient ruin but was able to communicate and order him from the outside.

The Chimera was slightly bigger than before as it grew at least 3 inches more.

"You're so cruel, Lee Tao. How could you trap me there for a long time and not bring me outside?" The Chimera said to Lee Tao.

Although the Chimera could communicate with Lee Tao, Deng Lijuan could only hear the chimera growl instead of actual words.

Thus, Deng Lijuan was thoroughly confused when Lee Tao began patting its head and talking to himself.

'Did Master become a lunatic?' She wondered silently.

Sometime later, Lee Tao decided to split a strand of soul from the Chimera body.

After that, he placed the strand toward Deng Lijuan, effectively allowing her to understand the Chimera.

"YOU SHOULD LET ME OUT OFTEN!"

As soon as Deng Lijuan was able to hear the Chimera's words, she was shocked by his sudden outcry.

"H-He can talk?!" Deng Lijuan exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hmph, Lee Tao had yoinked a strand of soul from me. Therefore, you can finally hear this great one's speech." The Chimera snorted coldly as he held a prideful expression.

Alas, he was only able to maintain such action for a split second until Lee Tao smacked his head.

"Shut your trap," Lee Tao scolded harshly.

He then glanced at Deng Lijuan and began to introduce the Chimera's origin to her.

"I see… this Chimera has been living in a different dimension." Deng Lijuan muttered.

"C-Could that dimension be the one where you sent Deng Lun to?" She asked.

Given her intelligence, it didn't take long for her to put two and two together to come up with such a conclusion.

After all, only an idiot would be dense enough to not realize this fact.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao nodded his head as he didn't deny it.

"That's right, Deng Lun had been residing in the same dimension as this Chimera. Though I wouldn't say he's enjoying it since this Chimera would torture the crap out of him." Lee Tao said.

"Hmph, it was his fault for invading my territory and shouting like some maniac. I merely gave him a good beating each day to vent my anger." The Chimera snorted as he defended his action.

"I-Is he still alright?" Deng Lijuan asked nervously.

She may be disappointed at Deng Lun's action, but it was true that he was also the one that took care of her.

Thus, she didn't feel too happy about knowing his fate.

"You can visit him if you want, but let me warn you. Deng Lun is no longer the Deng Lun that you knew." Lee Tao warned.

"I-I know… I just want to see him one last time before severing our relationship." Deng Lijuan said resolutely.

After a slight pause, Lee Tao nodded his head.

Retrieving his Relic Stone, Lee Tao summoned the portal to the ancient ruin.

"I'll give you a maximum of 10 minutes. After that, you will automatically be dragged back here."

"That's more than enough time."

With that said, Deng Lijuan took a step forward and entered the portal.

Lee Tao glanced at her disappearing back with a calm expression.

"You are way too shrewd, Lee Tao." Xiao Chu suddenly appeared out of thin air as she commented.

"By summoning the Chimera, you also wanted to give her the final straw in cutting her connection with Deng Lun."

"This is for her own good as well. It's better to cut it now than later."

As Xiao Chu and Lee Tao continued to chat, the Chimera suddenly growled in anger.

"What are you growling for?" Lee Tao asked.

"I sensed blood… very thick blood, at least 30 people's blood combined." The Chimera responded.

"Is it closeby?"

The Chimera shook his head.

"It's at least 50km away from us."

BANG!

Lee Tao suddenly smacks the Chimera's head extremely hard.

"If it's not close to us, then stop growling. I don't need to add unnecessary problems in my back."
