Harness Cultivator

In addition to that, her nails were scratching Lee Tao\'s hand.

"We\'re almost done, Yao Meixiang." Lee Tao continued to speak in a gentle tone as he ignored his hand that seemed to be bleeding a little bit.

Sometime later, a wiggling sort of creature emerged from Yao Meixiang\'s chest.

Lee Tao\'s eyes flint for a second as he instantly increased the density of his profound qi, capturing the wiggling sort of creature.

\'A mere parasite from the Phantom Worm Species…\' Lee Tao sneered coldly. 

Trapping the parasite with his profound qi, Lee Tao had to be extremely precise in his action.

Meanwhile, the pain began to intensify on Yao Meixiang\'s chest as the parasite tried to struggle from Lee Tao\'s grasp. 

"Don\'t scream, Yao Mexiang. I know it\'s painful, but it\'s better to have a moment of pain than constant pain." Lee Tao said.

Yao Meixiang could only look at him in a dumbfounded expression.

His speech of comfort was truly mediocre, to say the least. 

However, she felt her heart warming up since it was the first time Lee Tao was so caring.

Sometime later, Lee Tao clutched his hand tightly as he got hold of the parasite.

And with a swooshing sound, Lee Tao coated his profound qi around the parasite and had Xiao Chu retrieve a jade bottle for him to store in.

Within a few seconds, Lee Tao smiled wickedly as he obtained a good creature that could possibly help him in the future.

\'Heh, who would have thought my fortune was pretty decent when coming here.\'

After extracting the Phantom Worm from Yao Meixiang\'s body, her complexion instantly turned for the better.

"It\'s done, Yao Meixiang." Lee Tao said calmly as he glanced at her.

By this time, the pill in her mouth had already dissolved as she thanked him weakly.

"T-Thank you, Lee Tao."

"No need to thank me." Lee Tao shook his head.

\'After all, it was partially my fault that you were latched onto by a Phantom Worm if I hadn\'t ditched you all in the ancient ruin.\' Lee Tao thought.

"Lee Tao… about the engagement.."

"Let\'s not talk about that yet. You\'re still not completely healed and would need to recuperate your wounds." 

Yao Meixiang bit her lip softly.

\'Seems like Lee Tao is determined to annul our engagement…\' A droplet of tears leaked out from the corner of her eye as she stared at Lee Tao.

Her hand was still clutching tightly onto his. 

She didn\'t wish nor want to let go of his hand that had cured her of an illness that not even her family could cure. 

Lee Tao glanced at her for a few moments before pulling his hand out. 

"We\'ll talk about it when you recover fully." Lee Tao said as he stroked her head softly.

Afterward, he stood up and walked toward the exit.

Yao Meixiang could only reluctantly watch as Lee Tao exited her room. 

"How\'s my daughter, Nephew Lee Tao?" Yao Huan asked as soon as he saw Lee Tao leaving with a bit of sweat on his forehead.

"Yao Meixiang is fine now, but she will need to rest for a while to recuperate her injury from the past weeks." Lee Tao replied. 

Yao Huan nodded his head.

He then quickly entered Yao Meixiang\'s room as he showed a relieved expression when he checked on her condition.

"Xiao Meixiang, are you feeling better now?" Yao Huan asked in concern.

"Un… Lee Tao has cured me," Yao Meixiang replied. 

\'Why does Xiao Meixiang seem to be a bit depressed?\' Yao Huan was dumbfounded. 

He had expected her to be joyful after recovering from an unknown illness. 

"Anyway, rest well for a few weeks and I\'ll have someone brew some medicinal soup for you." Yao Huan said as he ignored those details for now. 

It was more important to have his daughter\'s health return to normal.

Meanwhile, outside of her room, Yu Xiuying held a solemn expression at Lee Tao.

"H-How did you cure her?" Yu Xiuying asked. 

"Not even Patriarch Yao Huan could do anything about her illness. Yet, you simply took around 10 minutes to cure Yao Meixiang." 

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

"Who knows? Maybe I\'m just that good at healing people." Lee Tao chuckled softly.

Yu Xiuying narrowed her eyes as she glared angrily at Lee Tao.

"If you don\'t want to tell, then just say so. No need to brag about your healing skills." Yu Xiuying snorted. 

"I mean like… if you really want to know, I can always tell you." Lee Tao smiled cheekily as he leaned close to her ears.

He then whispered sweetly, "As long as you tell me your underwear design and color, I will quickly tell you how I did it." 

Yu Xiuying clenched her fist tightly as she felt her blood boiling.

"Hmph, I\'m not interested to know." Yu Xiuying shouted as she turned around and left in a huff.

"We still have to visit Jia Qiu and Meng Xue, so we have no time to delay." She added.

Lee Tao sighed softly when he saw how serious Yu Xiuying was.

"Why so serious?" Lee Tao complained as he placed his hand behind his back. 

"Young Master… Can I get to know how you cure Yao Meixiang?" Tang Lingling suddenly said softly from the side as she held a curious gaze. 

Lee Tao twitched his mouth.

"Enough, Tang Lingling. Curiosity will kill the cat, so it\'s best that you don\'t know." Lee Tao said as he followed Yu Xiuying.

Tang Lingling was dumbfounded by his response.

\'Then how come you were willing to tell Instructor Yu Xiuying if she told you her underwear?\' Tang Lingling pouted inwardly as she hastened her movement to catch up.
