Chapter 37 - Suck On It
Tang Lingling's face was still bruised from the slap done by Lee Tao.
However, she didn't hold any resentful gaze at Lee Tao when he walked toward her.
Instead, she bowed her head down and apologized to Lee Tao.
"I'm sorry Young Master… This servant was wrong and failed to follow her duty properly." Tang Lingling said.
Lee Tao held a complicated expression at Tang Lingling.
As much as he wanted to throw a fit at her for ruining things, it wouldn't change the fact that his guinea pig is gone.
"Although I have slapped your face as punishment already, you should know that is not enough to atone for your sin right?" Lee Tao said.
Tang Lingling nodded her head.
"Yes, the slap isn't even enough to atone for my sin." Tang Lingling agreed with him.
"Does the Young Master wish for me to be cripple?" She then asked, hoping that it would be enough to soothe his anger.
Alas, she didn't know how wrong she was for uttering that sentence as Lee Tao raised his tone.
"Are you trying to ruin my plan again?" Lee Tao roared as he grabbed Tang Lingling's collar and showed a fierce glint.
His action shocked Yao Meixiang and the rest as they didn't know what to do in this situation.
Lee Tao also realized this as he commanded Xiao Chu mentally.
"Xiao Chu, go put them to sleep and have their memories wiped out about this part." Lee Tao said to Xiao Chu.
Xiao Chu hovered around the air as she asked Lee Tao, "Are you sure you want their memories to be altered?"
Lee Tao nodded his head.
"Do it!"
"Xiao Chu understands." Xiao Chu replied as she floated toward Yao Meixiang and the rest.
Afterward, Xiao Chu sent some profound qi toward their forehead.
Xiao Chu's action was so fast that not a single person except Lee Tao saw what happened.
Once the profound qi pierce their forehead, Xiao Chu made some incantation in some weird ancient language.
Soon, Yao Meixiang and the other two fell asleep as they plopped to the ground unconscious.
'W-What happened to them?' Tang Lingling was deeply shocked when the three of them suddenly fainted.
However, she didn't dare to move when Lee Tao was still grabbing her by the collar.
Tang Lingling's pupil constricted as she held a gawking expression at Lee Tao.
'Madam Liu must have predicted Lee Tao's true personality and warned me repeatedly about this huh…' Tang Lingling smiled bitterly as she closed her eyes.
She was ready to give her life to Lee Tao and showed zero resistance.
Lee Tao raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you closing your eyes?" He asked.
Tang Lingling opened her eyes slowly as she muttered, "Does the Young Master want me to open my eyes and witness my death?"
Lee Tao twitched his mouth.
'What's with everyone and death as a servant in this world.' Lee Tao cursed inwardly.
He couldn't understand the logic behind the people in the First Heaven because no one in the upper heaven would ever give up their life easily.
Not to mention, none of the people in the upper heaven would sacrifice their life for others. Everyone was selfish and cared for their own benefits only.
"What kind of person do you take me for, Tang Lingling?" Lee Tao asked.
"I know that I'm shameless but I'm not shameless to the point where I would throw a live person toward a bear and watch them get eaten alive." He added.
Tang Lingling wondered silently where he found the reference of talking about feeding a live person to a bear.
'Only a sadist person would do something immoral and cruel right?' Tang Lingling thought.
"You still haven't answered me, Tang Lingling." Lee Tao suddenly said as he repeated his question.
Tang Lingling snapped out of her daze as she mumbled, "A-A person that kept his talent hidden from others?"
"Huh?"
"I mean like- the members of the Lee Clan had been saying that you don't deserve to be the next heir for patriarch position. After all, you didn't have a spiritual root detected in your body during the age of ceremony." Tang Lingling explained.
And she continued, "Not to mention, there were a ton of rumors circulating around Lee Ching. He had a Heaven Spiritual Root rank and how he should have been the next heir despite being in the branch family."
Lee Tao smirked as he released his grasp on her collar.
"Lee Ching? You mean the idiot that wagged his tail around with those old fogeys in the Lee Clan." Lee Tao mocked as he retrieved a chair.
Afterward, Lee Tao sat down as he glared at Tang Lingling.
Tang Lingling felt a cold chill in her back when she met Lee Tao's eyesight.
Lee Tao held a solemn expression and was emitting a profound aura that seemed to block off anyone.
She felt like she was standing before a god- one whom she could only worship and not stand next to.
Tang Lingling swallowed some of her saliva nervously as she began wavering around, almost losing balance in the meantime.
"Since you are my servant now, I suppose there's no harm in telling you a little bit about myself." Lee Tao opened his mouth as he spoke in a tranquil tone.
He began explaining how it's natural for him to not have a spiritual root because he doesn't rely on spiritual roots to cultivate.
Instead, he harnessed the profound qi of others and took their hard work for himself to cultivate.
Of course, Lee Tao only gave her brief information about only being able to harness profound qi and nothing else.
There wasn't a need to explain or reveal all his secrets to Tang Lingling.
Sometime later, Lee Tao asked, "Now do you realize the consequences of your action?"
Tang Lingling sweated profusely as she nodded her head.
"I-I didn't know Lin Cheng was kept alive to be used by the Young Master." She then knelt down to her knees as she begged for forgiveness.
"Do you really want my forgiveness?"
"Yes Young Master, please give me a chance of redemption."
"Alright then, suck on it.." Lee Tao commanded as he pointed at his crotch area.
