Chapter 32 - Hug Me
Lee Tao became dumbfounded when he read the data of Meng Xue and Jia Qiu.
'Such a small kingdom actually contained such talented people.' Lee Tao exclaimed inwardly.
The physiques from Meng Xue and Jia Qiu may not be as impressive as those from the Ninth Heaven.
However, it was rare to appear in the First Heaven and Lee Tao had never paid attention to a person's physique as he believed they are all going to be trash.
Now that Xiao Chu had informed him about the possibility of people having different kinds of unique physiques, Lee Tao's excitement couldn't be contained further.
"Yao Meixiang, instead of absorbing the Spirit Liquid directly into your dantain, try to circulate them around your bone marrow." Lee Tao suddenly said.
"W-What do you mean?" Yao Meixiang stopped absorbing the Spirit Liquids when she heard Lee Tao's words.
"If I don't absorb them into my dantain, I won't be able to utilize them or use them for my cultivation," she added.
"Do you trust me?" Lee Tao asked.
Yao Meixiang gave a complicated expression at his question.
"I-I-I don't really know." Yao Meixiang answered in honesty.
It wasn't that she didn't trust him but it was hard for her to place her trust in someone that had abandoned her before.
Although Lee Tao had still come back in the end to rescue her, the thorn was still there and it would be difficult to remove within a few hours.
Lee Tao nodded his head.
"Understandable." Lee Tao said as he ignored Yao Meixiang and walked toward Tang Lingling.
"Tang Lingling, do you trust me?" Lee Tao asked.
Tang Lingling opened her eyes as she glanced at Lee Tao with a solemn expression.
"If I don't trust the Young Master then there's no one else I can put my trust in." Tang Lingling said in a sincere tone.
Lee Tao smirked as he patted her head. "Good, then give me a hug right now."
"A hug?"
"Yes, a hug. Come up from the Spirit Liquid and embrace me."
Tang Lingling tilted her head slightly and noticed the eyesight of many others had turned weird.
"B-But my clothes are currently wet right now." Tang Lingling muttered.
"Did you think I asked for a hug without noticing it?" Lee Tao smiled cheekily as he extended his hands out.
Although a bit confused by Lee Tao's request, Tang Lingling nodded her head.
She stood up and despite the clothes dripping wet with the Spirit Liquid, she embraced Lee Tao under the eyes of many.
Once Tang Lingling wrapped her arms around Lee Tao's back, Lee Tao sent tiny waves of profound qi into her dantain.
"Y-Young Master?" Tang Lingling raised an eyebrow when she felt a slight tinge in her body.
"Don't move." Lee Tao whispered softly as he hugged Tang Lingling closer to him.
"I'm just opening up your dantain a little bit so you can absorb the Spirit Liquid faster," he added.
Tang Lingling nodded as she pulled herself closer to Lee Tao. Her breast was pushing tightly on his chest and everyone in the pond was dumbfounded.
"What's going on?" Meng Xue asked in a confused tone.
"Are those two a thing?" Jia Qiu muttered as she unconsciously glanced at Yao Meixiang.
Yao Meixiang held an indescribable expression, almost like she was in disbelief at the scene in front of her.
"Heh, that Lee Tao sure is a lucky man."
"Shut up, you hypocrite Lin Cheng." Meng Xue snorted as she sent a wave of profound qi toward him.
Lin Cheng scoffed as he flicked his hand and deflected her profound qi easily.
"Weren't you heads over heels for me previously?" Lin Cheng teased as he laughed evilly. "You were all over me, hoping to get laid tonight."
Meng Xue gnashed her teeth in anger as she stood up, ready to fight against Lin Cheng.
"Stop it, Meng Xue!" Jia Qiu shouted as she quickly pulled her down.
"If you two fight here then we might as well gain zero benefits. Do you want to destroy the Spirit Liquid altogether?" Jia Qiu warned as she showed a fierce glint at Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng scoffed as he returned his focus in absorbing the Spirit Liquid.
'Just wait till we escape the cave and see how I'll deal with all of you.' Lin Cheng sneered inwardly as he closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Yao Meixiang had her eyesight locked on Tang Lingling and Lee Tao.
"Is he doing this on purpose because I said I don't know?" Yao Meixiang muttered as she felt a bit uncomfortable at their scene.
Jia Qiu could only shake her head slightly when she looked at Yao Meixiang.
"Sigh, this is why you should never arrange stupid marriage." Jia Qiu muttered as she calmed Meng Xue down instead.
Sometime later, Tang Lingling could feel her dantain expanding and she held a dumbfounded expression.
"H-How did you do it?" Tang Lingling asked stutteringly.
She was awestruck by the ability that Lee Tao managed to do despite having a low cultivation realm.
Lee Tao chuckled softly as he pulled her slightly away from him.
After that, Lee Tao gave her a dashing look as he smiled, "Because I'm handsome and whatever I want, it will come."
Tang Lingling twitched her mouth as she didn't know how to respond to him.
"Anyway, you can get off my lap now that I have finished expanding your dantain." Lee Tao said cheekily.
And he continued, "Although your clothes aren't transparent, it's still completely exposed to me when we're this close."
Tang Lingling's face flushed slightly in redness as she quickly got off of Lee Tao's lap and jumped back into the Spirit Liquid.
Her embarrassment quickly vanished when she realized the speed of her absorption increased by tenfold.
She was about to open her mouth to speak until Lee Tao halted her with his hand raised up.
"Continue to absorb the Spirit Liquid." Lee Tao instructed.
'After all, I still have a guinea pig in the corner to harness..' Lee Tao grinned evilly.
