Harness Cultivator

"D-Does Guild Leader means that person had purposely fixed the runes mark?" One of the guild members asked in disbelief.

After all, they had all thought Lee Tao was merely acting extremely arrogant and boasting his power in front of them.

Alas, they couldn't be any more wrong when Song Xiaoli clarified the event for them.

"I suggest everyone here not underestimate his power." Song Xiaoli said solemnly.

"Don't forget about that magical beast he was riding on. If my eyes aren't wrong, the magical beast should be a chimera." She added.

Instantly, the guild members' faces had turned ashen white.

"I-Impossible, aren't chimera cultivation akin to those in the Spirit King Realm?"

"T-They could easily slaughter us with just their breath alone."

"The guild leader must be mistaken, right?"

Although most of them were frightened by the words from Song Xiaoli, there were still a few that were doubtful about it.

It was hard for them to believe a brat like Lee Tao could possibly tame a magical beast as strong as a chimera.

Meanwhile, Song Xiaoli could only sigh at her subordinates.

'Bunch of retards…' She thought.

Taking a deep breath to calm down, she waited for the guild members to shut their mouths.

Of course, the guild members weren't that wise to keep their mouths shut until they sensed an ominous feeling looming over them.

As soon as they realized Song Xiaoli had turned completely silent yet flashed a gentle smile, the guild members knew they had fucked up.

They swallowed their saliva nervously before standing still, almost like those military training cadets when they meet the instructor.

It was nerve-wracking and every one of them wished to thrash the first person that voiced their opinion which angered Song Xiaoli.

"Have you all calmed down now?" Song Xiaoli placed her hands on her hips and asked kindly.

"Yes, Guild leader, we have all calmed down.

"We will listen to the guild leader's command."

"Yeah, if you want to punish someone, please punish that bastard that voiced his own opinion about your conclusion."

"..."

Song Xiaoli twitched her mouth when she saw how fast her subordinate was willing to throw one of them under the bus without hesitation.

Alas, she was too tired to deal with them now as she decided to continue on with the topic.

"Anyway, what we need to do now is wait for the Sandstorm to pass and make sure he will leave quickly." Song Xiaoli said as she pointed her finger upward, indicating the people that were residing upstairs aka Lee Tao.

The guild members quickly nodded their heads and agreed with her decision.

After all, they treasure their lives more and were more afraid of Song Xiaoli than Lee Tao.

Song Xiaoli then continued to discuss their plan further before dismissing them.

Meanwhile, back upstairs, Lee Tao, who had been keeping his eyes close, pretending to be asleep, smiled evilly.

'Ahh~ how cute must you be Song Xiaoli. Do you really think you can make me leave this easily? Once you invite a wolf into your house, then you must be prepared to lose a lot of valuables before sending him away.' Lee Tao exclaimed inwardly.

However, Lee Tao had decided to give them some leeway since Song Xiaoli was clever enough to not try something funny.

If she had tried to murder him tonight, then Lee Tao would have definitely repaid the favor tenfold.

By the time morning arrived, the sandstorm that was outside the Sierra Desert had long disappeared.

"Master, what do you want for lunch?" Deng Lijuan asked as soon as she saw Lee Tao waking up.

Lee Tao yawned aloud while wiping his eyes slowly.

"Hmm, do you always wake up this early?" He asked.

"It's a disciple's duty to wake up early before her master and accommodate his needs."

"For the last time, I have not accepted you as a disciple so stop calling me Master. I do not want to look like those old elderly people with white beards where they kept rubbing it, acting like some sort of saint."

"White beard?" Deng Lijuan was dumbfounded by his words as she raised an eyebrow. "Master is still youthful and doesn't seem to be growing any beard in a long time though."

Lee Tao facepalmed at her words.

There's something called sarcasm yet it seemed like Deng Lijuan had taken his words seriously.

"Ugh, forget it, just cook me some normal fried egg. I'm not in the mood to eat something heavy." Lee Tao said.

Deng Lijuan nodded her head.

"Hehe, this disciple really knows you well." She flashed a cheeky smile and suddenly walked back to uncover a lid.

Inside the lid, there were two fried eggs on a plate that was still steaming some white air.

"I already predicted you would want something light, but not too light at the same time. Hence, I've prepared the fried egg beforehand."

Lee Tao clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Being predicted of his action was like a slap into his face. He was supposed to be an Immortal with eccentric and unreasonable logic in his mind.

How could someone predict his thought process beforehand and actually hit the mark?

"Hmph, you just got lucky this time," Lee Tao snorted coldly as he sat on the chair and began to eat the fried egg.

The frigid egg was seasoned with salt and black pepper, a very common seasoning item. Yet, when the fried egg landed on his tongue, it was like a burst of umami had just orgasmed inside his mouth.

"What the heck?" He screamed in confusion. "Is this really fried fucking egg?"

"Of course, Master, these eggs are freshly available from the Scorpion Beast that I went out to capture. They are extremely nutritious and I had extracted the poison already." Deng Lijuan explained in joy, seemingly proud of herself to make Lee Tao impressed by her culinary skill.

After listening to her explanation, Lee Tao only had one question in his mind.

'Just what kind of abnormal person did I take in?' he asked himself silently.
