Chapter 151: Loot and Dip
After a long explanation about the capability of the VIP Card, Fang Shirong finally managed to get them to understand his point of view.
"So what you're saying is… the Emperor is afraid of us?" Deng Lijuan asked cautiously.
Fang Shirong nodded his head.
"Indeed, the Chang Clan aren't some naive clan to be giving out their precious VIP card to anyone. Thus, anyone with their VIP card can instantly be regarded as someone influential or powerful." Fang Shirong said.
Deng Lijuan no longer bothered to speak as she turned around and faced Lee Tao.
"What should we do now, Master?" Deng Lijuan asked timidly.
The situation was far too complicated for her to know what their next step should be.
"You did pretty good so far, Deng Lijuan. Just stand behind and learn what you should do if you encounter a similar situation like this." Lee Tao whispered softly as he glanced at Fang Shirong.
Crossing his arms, Lee Tao glared at Fang Shirong with a deadly gaze, sending a chill down his spine.
"As much as I can understand where you're coming from, I hope you can also understand our viewpoint." Lee Tao said with a smile on his face.
"If I hadn't detected your presence, things might have been different than our current situation. And in the worst-case scenario, I might have just killed each and every one of you for having the audacity to follow us."
Afterward, a murderous aura surrounded Lee Tao as his killing intent brimmed to the max.
Fang Shirong sweated profusely when he saw the frightening aura from Lee Tao.
He was sure that if his next word doesn't satisfy Lee Tao, then they might really be annihilated by Lee Tao.
"W-W-We can compensate you for disturbing your time." Fang Shirong managed to stutter out.
The atmosphere was becoming increasingly difficult for him and his companion to breathe in.
It was almost like the oxygen around them was locked by an unknown force.
"Oh? What kind of compensation are we talking about?" Lee Tao asked calmly.
Fang Shirong shuddered briefly when he saw the wicked grin from Lee Tao.
'... what kind of a person is he to be acting like this?' Fang Shirong wondered silently.
In his mind, for someone to be able to get ahold of the Chang Clan VIP card must be someone wealthy.
Yet, Lee Tao's action was no different than some poor man that was happy about getting compensation.
"Come on, show me the compensation." Lee Tao urged as he extended his hand out.
Who would say no to free money?
It could be anyone, but definitely not him. Stealing from others is always the best feeling ever, especially when that is someone who pissed him off.
Fang Shirong could only reluctantly give out his spatial ring to Lee Tao.
He was a clever man and knew he must give out a generous compensation to save his life.
Meanwhile, Lee Tao gladly accepts his spatial ring as he gives a quick scan on the inside.
Satisfied, Lee Tao threw the spatial ring toward Deng Lijuan.
"You now own a spatial ring, Deng Lijuan. Congratulations, make sure to thank this generous person." Lee Tao said cheekily.
"Thank you for your generosity." Deng Lijuan quickly bowed her head as she thanked Fang Shirong.
Tears could be seen dripping down from Fang Shirong's eyes.
"Look at that, Fang Shirong is so grateful that he's crying tears of joy." Lee Tao laughed heartily.
Afterward, he waved his hand and turned around.
"Anyway, you can all fuck off now that you are useless to us." Lee Tao said in a cold tone as he continued his journey.
The instant change of emotion shocked Fang Shirong as he called out, "P-Please wait a minute, sir."
"Sir?"
"U-Um… I still haven't gotten your name yet, so I can only address you as sir."
Lee Tao nodded his head.
"The name is Lee Tao, and you can tell your Emperor this. I won't do anything to harm his Kingdom as long as he doesn't try something funny against me or my closed ones." Lee Tao warned.
With that said, Lee Tao activated his movement technique as he grabbed Deng Lijuan's waist and dashed away from the scene.
Sometime later, Lee Tao could no longer sense Fang Shirong's presence as he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Woo, finally lost that bastard." Lee Tao snickered coldly.
"They were definitely hoping to request me for something in the Sierra Desert. And only a fool would stay there and listen to their nonsense after gaining all their loot."
"Master is indeed amazing." Deng Lijuan praised him in admiration.
The more she stayed with Lee Tao, the more she realized how amazing and profound Lee Tao was.
Despite his unique way of talking and method, you cannot lie and say they weren't terrific at all.
Meanwhile, Lee Tao held a cheeky expression as he gladly welcomed her praise.
"Of course, if I wasn't this amazing, then I would have long died in this filthy cultivation world."
"Anyway, Master… What should we do now? Although we may have run away from them, they could still be following us after a while."
"That wouldn't be possible, Deng Lijuan. While I was getting our compensation, I had already ordered Xiao Chu to scatter our track somewhere far away from our destination."
Deng Lijuan had her eyes wide open as she could never grasp the depth of Lee Tao no matter how much she tried.
At first, she had thought his motive was to steal Fang Shirong's loot, but in reality, Lee Tao's motive was even more farsighted.
'When can I catch up to Master's intelligence?' Deng Lijuan wondered silently.
Time slowly passed by, and before everyone knew it. A month had gone by with Deng Lijuan being trained vigorously by the method from Lee Tao.
"Master, how long am I going to have to fight?" Deng Lijuan asked as she wiped off some of her sweat.
"You will have to fight until the day you die, Deng Lijuan." Lee Tao smirked evilly.
"A cultivator's path will never end."
