Tang Lingling held a dumbfounded look as she slowly walked toward the chimera.

She was still in disbelief at how Lee Tao managed to force a chimera into becoming their mount.

Sometime later, Tang Lingling kicked the ground softly and propelled herself up in the air as she gracefully landed on top of the chimera.

Her hand unconsciously wrapped around Lee Tao when she almost lost balance.

After all, being able to ride a chimera was something that had never occurred to her mind.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao tilted his head and glanced at Tang Lingling.

“Are you seriously taking advantage of me now?” Lee Tao asked.

“I know my body is awesome but don’t think that you can touch it as you please.” He added.

Tang Lingling twitched her mouth.

She had never seen such a narcissistic person before in her life until she met Lee Tao.

Such shamelessness and scoundrel behavior was truly a sight to behold.

“You still haven’t let go of my waist…” Lee Tao said as he pinched on her cheek.

“If you dare to take advantage of me again then watch how I’ll punish you when we leave the ancient ruin.” Lee Tao warned as he slapped her hand away from his waist.

Tang Lingling twitched her mouth.

‘How inconsiderate…’ She thought.

Sometime later, the climbing of the mountain became extremely smooth.

“Wow, the gravity pressure seemed to have disappeared…” Tang Lingling mumbled softly.

She realized the horrendous gravity pressure that almost killed her had magically vanished from sight.

Lee Tao snickered as he pointed at the chimera beast they are currently riding on.

“Did you really think I made him our mount for a show?” Lee Tao asked coldly.

“One of the features of this chimera beast is that it will nullify the gravity pressure.” He then explained to Tang Lingling.

Tang Lingling nodded.

“I see… a mythical creature like the chimera must have some abilities to be regarded as one.” Tang Lingling mumbled.

Time slowly passed by and before everyone knew it, the chimera had brought them to the peak of the mountain.

“So beautiful…” Tang Lingling was mesmerized by the scene in front of her.

When they were at the base of the mountain, all they could see was a shrouded fog around the mountain and had their vision blocked completely.

However, now that they were at the peak, Tang Lingling could see the entire ancient ruin and the shrouded fog was merely some white clouds.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao held a nonchalant expression at the current scenery in front of him.

“Meh, I’ve seen better and way more mesmerizing than this.” Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders as he commented.

He then turned around and ignored the scenery since that wasn’t the point of him climbing to the peak.

“Wait a minute, aren’t those three Yao Meixiang, Jia Qiu, and Meng Xue.” Tang Lingling suddenly said.

“Why do they look so confused though?” She asked when she noticed their expression.

Lee Tao whistled slightly, acting like their confused look had nothing to do with him.

“Stop watching them already and wasting time.” Lee Tao said coldly as he ordered the chimera to guide him to the secret passage.

Tang Lingling twitched her mouth.

‘What did the Young Master do to them?’ She thought silently.

Sometime later, the chimera guided Lee Tao and Tang Lingling through a narrow path.

The path was extremely steep and one misstep could possibly mean falling to their death.

After another few minutes, the path finally became wider and Lee Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

“Damn, I would kill whoever creates such a narrow path just to get into the secret passage.” Lee Tao cursed.

“It’s just some fucking secret and not like it would ruin their life. Gosh, why is everything so secretive here?” Lee Tao shouted as he ranted even more.

“Umm, Young Master… the chimera had already walked away.” Tang Lingling said as she pointed at the chimera.

Lee Tao twitched his mouth.

No one understood his ranting was meant for the greater good.

“Tch, just imagine walking back and forth from here to there in the future.” Lee Tao grunted as he followed after the chimera.

Tang Lingling tried her best to not laugh as she followed behind Lee Tao.

‘If the Young Master would just stop acting like a scoundrel, he could be a comedian.’ Tang Lingling thought.

After walking for some time, the chimera brought Lee Tao and Tang Lingling to an extremely spacious room.

It was unimaginable that the spacious room was located at the peak of the mountain where there are multiple steep paths.

“No wonder why everywhere is a steep path.” Lee Tao exclaimed loudly as he glanced around the room.

“It was thanks to a stupid person who had decorated this trashy ass, unnecessary spacious room for no reason and caused the pathway to be crap.” He added.

Lee Tao then glared at the chimera who was whimpering in the corner.

It was most likely afraid of Lee Tao’s wrath and his life since he still believed Lee Tao still had the power of an Immortal.

Lee Tao sneered at the chimera’s attitude as he ignored him and began walking around the room.

Of course, whatever items Lee Tao saw on the way, it would be automatically stored in his storage ring.

It would be a crime if he didn’t collect everything for himself when he had called dibs already.

“Ahh, that pseudo-Immortal’s gift is too extravagant~” Lee Tao mumbled as he grabbed a dagger into his hand.

The dagger was emitting a dim but subtle light and was extremely sharp.

“What is that dagger, Young Master?” Tang Lingling asked.

“I can feel a dreadful pressure just by being near it.” She added.

Lee Tao grinned evilly. “It’s obvious that you would feel a dreadful pressure by being near it.

And he continued, “After all, this is a soul weapon and one without an owner.”

“A-A soul weapon?” Tang Lingling gasped in horror as she glanced at the seemingly harmless dagger in Lee Tao’s hand.
