Harness Cultivator

"Why would you go to an ancient ruin?" Tang Lingling asked in a dumbfounded tone.

"The ancient ruin is filled with countless traps and danger. There could still be powerful magical beasts roaming around and one mistake could cost you your life." She added.

Lee Tao remained calm as he raised his hand to stop Tang Lingling from speaking any further.

"Hold up, when did you turn into my mother?" Lee Tao asked.

And he continued, "As far as I'm concerned, you're just my servant and not my mother. Hence, I wasn't asking for permission or anything. I was informing you and the only thing you should do is nod your head or say I understand."

Tang Lingling twitched her mouth as she couldn't refute his words. Although Lee Tao's words were harsh and arrogant, it was indeed the truth that her status was just a servant.

Lee Tao is now her current master and as a servant, it's disrespectful to question the master's decision.

She took a deep breath to calm down and showed a tranquil expression. "I understand, Young Master. This servant has gone overboard with her words."

Lee Tao smiled briefly at Tang Lingling's swift change. 'A good servant always knows when to stop themselves from going overboard with their words.' Lee Tao exclaimed inwardly as he changed to his nightwear.

"Anyway, Yao Meixiang will come to the dorm tomorrow to bring me to the gathering place." Lee Tao said as he yawned slightly and jumped to his bed.

"..."

Tang Lingling glanced at Lee Tao with her thoughts unknown.

Time slowly passed and the door to Lee Tao's dorm was being knocked fiercely.

"Lee Tao, get your ass up, or are you going to sleep all day now?" Yao Meixiang's voice echoed from the outside.

Sometime later, the door opened up and Yao Meixiang held a dumbfounded expression. Her eyes nearly popped out when she saw it was a graceful and beautiful female opening the door.

Yao Meixiang gnashed her teeth and clenched her fist tightly.

"Scoundrel!" She uttered as she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Are you looking for the Young Master?" Tang Lingling suddenly said.

She proceeded to explain, "The Young Master has a habit of oversleeping since he rarely has to do anything."

Yao Meixiang raised an eyebrow as she glanced at Tang Lingling. "And who are you? I thought you were Lee Tao's woman." Yao Meixiang asked.

She had initially thought Lee Tao was womanizing others and which would explain why he was still sleeping.

'I thought he was busy the entire night making love.' Yao Meixiang cried inwardly as she was mistaken about Lee Tao's activity last night.

Tang Lingling's wardrobe was tidied and she had a straightened back with her legs standing still which was evidence enough that she didn't do anything last night.

It was general knowledge for everyone that if a man and woman were making love, the next day the woman would be wobbling like a jelly without any strength to stand up.

"Do you wish to come inside?" Tang Lingling asked when Yao Meixiang was standing outside in a daze.

"Uhh- sure." Yao Meixiang replied with an awkward smile as she made her way into the dorm.

Instantly, her face twitched when she saw Lee Tao sleeping soundly in his nightwear.

'No random clothes scattering across the room and he's even wearing his nightwear properly.' Yao Meixiang noted the details to herself as she apologized to Lee Tao inwardly. 'I didn't mean to brand you as the rest of the young master, Lee Tao.'

"When is he going to wake up?" Yao Meixiang pointed at Lee Tao as she asked Tang Lingling.

Tang Lingling shrugged her shoulders. "Young Master has a weird sleeping schedule and there's no telling when he will wake up."

"Should we wake him up then?" Yao Meixiang suggested.

Tang Lingling shook her head. "If you forcefully wake up the Young Master then he would be in a foul mood."

'It's a good thing that the Young Master is a heavy sleeper. There's no way I would allow him to explore an ancient ruin.' Tang Lingling said silently as she handed a teacup to Yao Meixiang.

"Umm, what's your name by the way?" Yao Meixiang grabbed the teacup politely as she asked.

"Tang Lingling."

"Oh, I see… My name is Yao Meixiang, Lee Tao's fiance."

Tang Lingling nodded her head. "I know who you are, Young Miss."

"You knew me?" Yao Meixiang raised an eyebrow. Yao Meixiang clutched onto the teacup as she lowered her head slightly.

"I didn't know someone would recognize me for once." She muttered in a bittersweet tone.

"Why wouldn't I recognize the prodigy young miss that hailed from the Yao Clan? The Yao Clan is famous in the Tianyun Kingdom for their achievement in alchemy and the alchemy market they have monopolized." Tang Lingling replied.

Yao Meixiang smiled bitterly as she sneaked a small glance at Lee Tao.

It was only at that moment did Tang Lingling realize why Yao Meixiang would say no one recognized her.

'This Young Master is really hopeless.' Tang Lingling sighed softly as she started to have a conversation with Yao Meixiang.

"Young Miss-"

"Call me Yao Meixiang. I'm not used to having someone else call me Young Miss. It's uncomfortable and too distant for me." Yao Meixiang halted her speech as she corrected her.

Her attitude and demeanor were similar to Lee Tao who hated being called the Young Master. Lee Tao had even once ordered Tang Lingling to stop calling him Young Master but she refused to do so.

After all, Tang Lingling feared that Madam Liu might think it was her being disrespectful to her son and it could create some consequences in the future.

Thus, Tang Lingling had insisted on calling Lee Tao the Young Master, and he eventually gave up correcting her either.

"I see… I shall call you Yao Meixiang then." Tang Lingling replied since Yao Meixiang's situation was different from Lee Tao's situation.

"Anyway, I wanted to ask what is this ancient ruin you are planning to explore.." Tang Lingling then asked as she enquired some details.
