Chapter 174: Dark Scorpion
Three days had passed since they entered the Inner Zone of the Sierra Desert. Throughout these days, Lee Tao was recuperating his injuries while having a delightful captive relieving him.
"Phew, your sucking ability has truly improved these days, Zhou Jingjing." Lee Tao praised her, kicking her aside once she had finished swallowing his Yang Qi.
Zhou Jingjing held a fierce glare at him as she tried to cough up the remaining Yang Qi in her mouth. Alas, her head was forcefully pulled by Lee Tao, causing her to involuntarily swallow every single drop. Thus, there was nothing else left in her mouth and she was just trying to imagine herself coughing some out.
"Damn you, Lee Tao." She cursed in anger. However, when she saw Lee Tao's expression suddenly change, she quickly corrected herself.
"T-Thank you for the delicious lunch, Master." She said, forcing herself to speak every word loudly.
Lee Tao nodded his head. "You are very welcome, my dear captive. Luckily you thanked me properly, otherwise, I would have to ask your companion, Zheng Wenling to assist me."
That's right, Zhou Jingjing had no choice but to submit and do such humiliating acts because of the threat he had used. If she were to disobey or refuse his command, then Zheng Wenling would become the sacrificial lamb.
And in Zhou Jingjing's mind, since she had already done the deed before, what could be worse is to do it once, twice, or even many more times. "Master, you have satisfied that whore too much already. We should just continue with our journey and stop camping in the same spot." Deng Lijuan pouted from the side.
Although Deng Lijuan's excuse was that they needed to get the show on the road, the fact was that she could not stand watching Zhou Jingjing being able to receive his Master's heavenly cock. That was supposed to be her duty as a disciple and acting maid, not Zhou Jingjing.
Lee Tao chuckled softly as he agreed with her words. He had rested enough and the toxicity level had reduced to an acceptable amount thanks to the herbal soups brewed by Deng Lijuan.
"Un, I guessed it's time we get moving. The Sierra Desert isn't exactly a joyful area to stay in." Lee Tao said calmly. There were too many unknown factors in the Sierra Desert that even Xiao Chu was unable to scan properly.
And the more he stayed in the Inner Zone, the more Lee Tao felt his suspicions were correct. The Sierra Desert was the aftermath of a battlefield between Immortals from the higher world.
Who knows how many dead Immortals were lurking in the shadows?
Unlike mortals, Immortals could still retain their consciousness and possibly their soul which they used for possession of another body. If they were unlucky enough to encounter such beings, then it would be troublesome to deal with.
Sometime later, Deng Lijuan had Zhou Jingjing and Zheng Wenling help pack their belongings.
"Make sure to leave zero traces. I don't want some lurking magical beasts to find our trail because of your poor cleaning skills." Deng Lijuan scolded, even smacking Zhou Jingjing's head in the meantime when she missed a spot.
Zhou Jingjing was angered by her smacking, but she couldn't do anything since Lee Tao had given Deng Lijuan partial authority on the contract to command them.
This was to prevent that if he were to be in the same situation as before, then Deng Lijuan would still be safe from them if they decided to attack her while he was unconscious.
"What are you glaring at me for, bitch? You're mad that I smacked you? Then stay mad because you're weak and failed to harm my Master." Deng Lijuan snorted coldly. She was extremely salty that she could not be the one to help relieve Lee Tao, and had to watch other women do it.
She would still be fine if the woman was willing and wholeheartedly served Lee Tao well, but Zhou Jingjing was merely doing it out of her will.
Hence, Deng Lijuan despised and hated her to the gut.
"Just you wait, Deng Lijuan. If I ever get to be bossy around you, I'll make sure you engrave what you did today into your mind." Zhou Jingjing vowed. They were both women and instead of feeling pity for her in this kind of treatment, she was actually treating her even worse than Lee Tao.
Hell, she doesn't even need her damn pity if she just stayed put. Yet she had gone overboard for calling her a bitch when the true bitch was her.
'Since that bastard Lee Tao wants me to serve him, then fine, so be it. I'll serve him wholeheartedly and rise in position to screw you over, Deng Lijuan.' Zhou Jingjing exclaimed inwardly, making sure to work hard when it was her duty time.
Once a man gets smitten, then it would be easy for them to get their way through things.
While she was cooking up her devious scheme, Lee Tao suddenly warned them, "Xiao Chu's barrier had dissipated, so get ready to fight. A Dark Scorpion is rapidly approaching our area."
And he continued, "The Dark Scorpion should be on par with an Origin Spirit Realm cultivator, so the three of you can totally fight it. Oh, remember not to harm its shell and stinger. They are extremely delicious and nutritious."
"..."
Was he playing a joke with them?
That was what the three women had in mind when Lee Tao said that they could totally fight against the Dark Scorpion that is on par with an Origin Spirit Realm.
They were all in the Profound Spirit Realm, just one realm below the Dark Scorpion, and that alone is clear enough that they are completely unable to defeat it.
It was a whole realm difference and not just a few stages apart. Lee Tao's words were like asking a barehanded human to fight against a ferocious tiger.
Alas, Lee Tao gave no fuck about their thought process as he complained. "Why are you still dilly-dallying around? Go and kill the incoming Dark Scorpion."
