Harness Cultivator
Chapter 141 - Cheeky Note

Another few hours had gone by, and Lee Tao had finished recooking all the meat.

Just when Lee Tao was about to feast on the meat, Deng Lijuan suddenly appeared behind with a towel covering her body.

Lee Tao raised an eyebrow.

"Why haven't you changed into some clothes?" Lee Tao asked.

"I-I don't have any spare clothes…"

"Then how did you have a towel on you?"

Deng Lijuan smiled bitterly.

"This was a towel that was attached to my previous clothing." She said in a somewhat nervous tone.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao finally understood something. 

"No wonder your buttock seemed so big… you actually padded it with a towel?" Lee Tao began laughing wildly as he could imagine her shrewd method in getting customers for the Chiyu Tavern.

Although it was immoral to use sexual appearance to attract customers, it's not really illegal either. 

After all, it was the customers' fault for being horny and getting baited by her appearance.

"P-Please stop laughing at me, Master." Deng Lijuan's face turned bright red when her secret was exposed.

"I simply had to do what was necessary to earn money. And it's not like I'm deceiving them since it was their own fault for believing in their eyes."

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"That's right, idiots deserved to be scammed anyway." Lee Tao smirked.

Sometime later, Lee Tao decided to go through the luggage that his mother and Tang Lingling had packed for him.

And without even a question, Lee Tao found multiple women's clothes with a note beside it.

The note said, "In case you bang them too hard and shred their clothes, these can be their replacement."

Lee Tao twitched his mouth when he finished reading the note.

Are they freaking serious right now?

Bang them too hard? 

Shred their clothes? 

What did they take him for? A predator with no fucking chill?

Lee Tao crumbled the note into nothingness as he continued to glance at the luggage filled with women's clothes.

"Deng Lijuan, go choose the clothes you want to wear," Lee Tao said.

He doesn't know her preferences, so it was best to let her choose it herself.

Deng Lijuan nodded her head.

Sometime later, Deng Lijuan found a rosy-kind of clothes as she dressed herself.

She didn't even care about dressing in the open due to the illusion barrier. 

Plus, it was clear that Lee Tao held no interest toward her, even if she wanted him to kind of sneak a peek at her.

"Alright, I've finished dressing up," Deng Lijuan said as she turned around to face Lee Tao. 

And she wasn't surprised to see him focusing on eating the meat instead of glancing at her.

"Yo Xiao Chu, enough of you. This is my piece." Lee Tao shouted aloud in anger.

"Hmph, what kind of man are you to be this stingy with the distribution?" Xiao Chu retorted.

"I'm Lee Tao and who said a man must be generous?"

"I don't care, that last piece of meat is mine."

Right when their fight became more heated, Deng Lijuan suddenly intervened as she pointed at that last piece of meat, "Umm, can I have that last piece of meat?" 

Instantly, Lee Tao and Xiao Chu stopped their argument for a brief moment as they turned toward her direction.

"I-I haven't eaten dinner yet and cultivating the modified technique made me hungrier." Deng Lijuan reasoned.

"No, go replace your own food." Lee Tao snorted coldly as he grabbed the meat and was about to eat it.

However, before his teeth could connect with the tenderized meat, it disappeared from his hand.

"Go ahead, a woman must be nourished properly to grow more beautiful." Xiao Chu said as she handed the meat over to Deng Lijuan.

Since Lee Tao was adamant in not giving her the final piece of meat, then she wouldn't be kind to him as well.

Offering the last piece of meat to Deng Lijuan who hadn't eaten at all would shut his mouth and block him from enjoying the meat.

Deng Lijuan smiled blissfully as she quickly chomped on the meat, causing an insane amount of heartache to Lee Tao.

'What a fucking system I have… one that disobey and harm you.' Lee Tao cursed inwardly as he glared at Deng Lijuan.

"Master, your cooking skills are really amazing," Deng Lijuan praised sincerely, ignoring his glare at the same time.

"Tsk, then you better eat everything," Lee Tao clicked his tongue.

"I will"

Sometime later, Deng Lijuan finished the meat with joy as she began prepping the blanket to sleep for the night.

"By the way, have you heard of the Xinghui Sect before?" Lee Tao asked.

"The Xinghui Sect?" Deng Lijuan raised an eyebrow. 

"Are we going to make a visit there?" She asked.

Lee Tao shook his head.

"No, it's just that there was some woman proclaiming herself to be an inner disciple at that sect, so I just got a bit curious."

"What's the woman's name, Master? I have heard some of their famous disciples before back when I was still working in the Chiyu Tavern where customers would occasionally talk about."

"Hmm, if I recall correctly… She was called Chang Xiu."

The moment Lee Tao finished her words, Deng Lijuan almost had her eyeballs popped out as she stood up in shock.

"Chang Xiu? The legendary Chang Xiu that was rumored to have slain an Earth Dragon before?" Deng Lijuan exclaimed in shock. 

And she continued, "Are you acquainted with her by any chance, Master?"

"You could say that… I stole her kill and looted the magical beasts in front of her." Lee Tao said calmly.

Meanwhile, Deng Lijuan's face turned pale when she heard Lee Tao's words.

'M-Master had stolen her loot?' She exclaimed inwardly.

Deng Lijuan swallowed some of her saliva nervously as she stuttered, "B-By any chance… is the tenderized meat I just ate… came from the magical beasts you stole from her?"

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"That's right, and isn't the meat in your stomach more delicious now?"
