Harness Cultivator
Chapter 183: A Feast

As Lee Tao and the other women found a seat at the large table, Cai Hong gracefully held a wine cup in her hand.

She raised it up and smiled lightly at Lee Tao, "Today we have some honorable guests to our camp, so allow me to toast you first."

With that said, she directly drank a mouthful of wine in the cup elegantly before placing the wine cup back on the table.

Seeing her elegant and polite demeanor, Lee Tao might be fooled by her kindness if he was some greenhorn brat. It was a shame though because his real age could never be calculated.

His body might be that of a young adult, but his mind was old enough to be everyone's great great great great grandfather. Of course, even saying that was being generous since his true age was probably even older than the world he currently resides in.

The atmosphere became awkward when Cai Hong was practically left hanging given how Lee Tao had no reaction.

'Is he trying to have a fallout now?' Cai Hong suppressed the anger in her heart when she saw Lee Tao didn't even bother following the basic etiquette.

She had learned and studied the practitioners' method and etiquette in the past. Hence she knew that even if they might become enemies later, they would still follow their basic etiquette and fake their politeness as much as possible.

Just when she was about to sit back down, Lee Tao suddenly stood up and grabbed his wine cup.

"The queen sure is a magnanimous and educated person. Despite being a snakeswoman, you understand our hypocrisy a lot and for that, I respect you for learning it. After all, the hypocrisy from my culture is truly cringed and disgusting to learn." Lee Tao said before downing the wine to his throat.

Cai Hong twitched her lips when she heard his speech. Just how ridiculous could this person be?

Meanwhile, Lee Tao didn't stop there as he continued his speech. "Oh right, you introduced yourself before but didn't bother asking for our names. So as a polite gesture and following the etiquette procedure, I shall introduce myself now. I'm Lee Tao and soon to be your lover."

BAM!

Right as he finished that, one of the elders from the snakesmen group was enraged by his bold word.

"Hmph, a greenhorn brat like you wants to become the lover of her majesty? Have you been daydreaming much lately?"

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders. Not a hint of fright could be seen in his eyes as he remained calm and collected.

"Why would I be daydreaming about it when we are going to become lovers soon in reality?" He asked the elder back.

At this point, no matter how much Cai Hong could endure, she really wished to smack Lee Tao's head into a mushy paste.

However, her people still haven't finished evacuating, so she must endure it no matter how hard it was. Otherwise, there was no point in wasting some of the food here to feed Lee Tao and his companion to stall for time.

Lee Tao sneered inwardly when he could see Cai Hong was trembling slightly in anger but was trying her best to hide it. He found her action simply too cute and naive at the same time.

'Ah Queen Cai Hong, how could this little bit of teasing anger you so much?' He exclaimed inwardly.

The main point hasn't even been brought up yet she was already on the verge of breaking her character.

"Hmph, you may be our honorable guests, but there are still some things you ought not to utter." The elder that had spoken out originally continued his words and reprimanded Lee Tao's action.

Since Cai Hong didn't stop his remark either, the elder knew just how enraged she was and was hoping that he could continue. As a loyal elder, he would naturally do whatever he can to please her and earn her favor.

"I hope that Sir Lee Tao would apologize for his remark, and we would let bygones be bygones." The elder offered a suggestion to mend the situation. They needed to stall for the time anyway for the other people to evacuate in time, so he dared not to make things too difficult for Lee Tao.

"I see…you are correct, elder. I was wrong in my wording." Lee Tao scratched his head and showed an apologetic look.

However, Deng Lijuan, Zhou Jingjing, and Zheng Wenling were sure that he was definitely not apologetic. In fact, they feared that he might have some more outrageous words in his mind and that he was about to utter them.

And they were truly correct in their mindset considering how they have embraced each other for the past few hours. Their understanding of Lee Tao naturally increased as well.

Lee Tao cupped his fist toward Cai Hong and smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry Queen Cai Hong. I was ignorant in my wording and I shouldn't have said we are going to be lovers soon. That's because we should have already been lovers and that I should be pushing you to bed now instead of wasting time here."

CRACK!

The wine cup that Cai Hong originally held to suppress the anger in her emotion shattered into pieces. After hearing his remark that was more outrageous than the previous, she could no longer endure it.

"Lee Tao, are you trying to have a fallout right away?" She glared at him and asked menacingly. Her snake tail was emitting a powerful aura and was creating a suffocating environment in the feast.

Deng Lijuan, Zhou Jingjing, and Zheng Wenling's faces turned pale when they were unable to resist the tremendous pressure emitted by Cai Hong.

After all, she was higher realm than all of them and she was clearly not holding her strength back.

As for her own people, they were immune to it because Cai Hong purposely diverted the pressure away from them.

However, she was more surprised by Lee Tao because he was still able to stand still and smiled cheekily at her, almost like there was no pressure at all.

She narrowed her eyes and tried to exert more pressure upon him, only to be futile.

Lee Tao patted his chest lightly and placed the wine cup down in an elegant manner, copying her style.

"Queen Cai Hong, could you be so eager to enjoy my embrace that you had to ruin a perfectly good wine cup?" He asked, referring to her shattering the wine cup that was supposed to help suppress her anger.

Before she could reply, Lee Tao waved his hand and the pressure that was suffocating the women was lifted.

Dumbfounded, Cai Hong realized she had severely underestimated the capability of Lee Tao. Not even a True Lord Realm cultivator could resist her pressure easily nor help others out either.

A bit of nervousness appeared on her face as she wondered what her next move should be.

"Cough, Queen Cai Hong, you shouldn't be so nervous in front of me. After all, you're a woman and a milf at that. I'm an extremely biased person and would always treat women with gentleness." Lee Tao said.

However, the gaze of Zhou Jingjing and Zheng Wenling rapidly changed to a disgusted one when Lee Tao proclaimed himself as someone being gentle with women.

Gentleness?

More like a sadistic and torturous person is the correct term. Alas, they didn't dare to utter those words aloud and could only remain silent as they watched Lee Tao walk closer to Cai Hong.

"I supposed you must be trying to undergo an evolution, hence your scaling in the snake tail is a bit more colorful than usual." Lee Tao suddenly said, causing Cai Hong to widen her eyes in surprise.

Her secret of trying to undergo an evolution and break through her predecessor's shackles was naturally a top-secret.

"Now are you interested in talking privately and stop with the hypocrisy?" Lee Tao smirked when he saw her expression had turned complicated.

"If I have such profound knowledge regarding your current condition, then you should know that I have some ability to annihilate your clan given my bold remarks, right?" He added.

Cai Hong remained silent, clearly unwilling to admit it nor would she deny it.

"Don't worry, I will leave my companions here and allow them to enjoy a feast. They have been traveling with me for a long time and should be starving by now." Lee Tao said and walked toward a room without waiting for Cai Hong's response.

By the time she regained her composure, she had realized Lee Tao left the area and gone to a different room.

A complicated gaze appeared on her face as she saw his three women were still sitting at the table.

'This person really left his companions alone. He really thinks I don't dare to do anything to them huh?' She sneered inwardly.

Despite that, she still commanded the elder to not do any rash action.

"Watch over the guests and don't make a move at all." Once her order was given, she quickly followed the trail of Lee Tao.
