“Young Master, hold up a minute,” Tang Lingling shouted from behind as she chased after Lee Tao.

However, Lee Tao ignored her calls as he continued to rush forward.

“Ahh, that chimera must have found the item that controls this ancient ruin.” Lee Tao chuckled softly.

Suddenly, Lee Tao halted his movement when Tang Lingling managed to get past him and stood in front of him.

“What are you blocking my path for, Tang Lingling?” Lee Tao asked in a bit of an irritated tone.

He was on his way to obtaining the greatest treasure in the ancient ruin yet his own servant decided to block him.

Who in their right mind does that to their Young Master?

Meanwhile, Tang Ling Ling spread her arms out and said, “The dagger seemed to dislike the idea of being my weapon.”

“The dagger has been emitting a fierce killing intent for a while and I feared that it might even endanger us.” She added.

Lee Tao stared at the dagger in a solemn expression.

“So this dagger is what made you decide to block my path and possibly delay me in this garbage ancient ruin?” Lee Tao asked.

Tang Lingling sweated profusely when Lee Tao was enraged.

“B-But the soul weapon is attracted to the Young Master…” Tang Lingling stuttered.

It wasn’t that she didn’t wish to have the dagger for herself but the dagger didn’t want her as the owner.

Lee Tao sighed softly as he grabbed the dagger from Tang Lingling’s hand.

Tang Lingling’s eyes lit up when she thought Lee Tao had accepted the soul weapon.

“The Young Master is indeed a prodigy from heaven,” Tang Lingling started praising him.

“Yeah, you can stop that nonsense, Tang Lingling.” Lee Tao said as he clutched the dagger tightly.

With a fierce glint, Lee Tao shouted, “Listen dagger, you either choose to be with Tang Lingling or you can rot on that shelf forever.”

The dagger trembled slightly on Lee Tao’s hand. Clearly, it didn’t doubt Lee Tao’s words as some kind of joke.

After a few minutes, the dagger eventually went toward Tang Lingling and coyed around her despite having sharp edges.

“See, how simple is that, Tang Lingling.” Lee Tao said as he pointed at the coy dagger.

“You need to be dominant and assertive to make a soul weapon obey you.”

Tang Lingling nodded her head.

“I-I understand, Young Master,” She said as she glanced at the dagger in a somewhat dazed expression.

“Do I cut off some of my blood to make it acknowledge me as owner now?” She asked.

It was her first time dealing with a soul weapon so everything was new to her.

However, she had read through some texts that to make a soul weapon obedient toward you, you would have to feed some of your blood as a sacrifice.

Alas, she couldn’t be any more wrong as Lee Tao flicked his finger at her forehead.

“Seriously, how did you become my mother’s servant with such superficial knowledge?” Lee Tao asked.

“Who the hell said one must feed it blood to become a soul weapon’s owner?” Lee Tao sneered coldly. “Only those retards and idiotic people would do such a thing.”

“Then what should I do to become its owner?” Tang Lingling asked.

Lee Tao breathed a soft sigh as he wondered who’s the actual caretaker.

She was sent to him by his mother to assist him yet it feels like it was never the case.

“Just inject some of your profound qi at the tip of the dagger.” Lee Tao instructed.

And he continued, “As long as the soul weapon is willing to accept you, it will blink a few times and you will suddenly feel a connection with it.”

Tang Lingling nodded her head.

She followed Lee Tao’s advice and injected some of her profound qi at the tip of the dagger.

A few seconds later, the dagger began emitting a dim but subtle light.

“I-I can feel a familiar connection with the dagger now…” Tang Lingling mumbled in disbelief.

Never in her life did she expect that to conquer a soul weapon was as simple as injecting your own profound qi at the tip of it.

“Alright, now practice with that dagger in here for a while,” Lee Tao said as he waved goodbye.

“B-But what about you, Young Master?” Tang Lingling asked.

As much as she wanted to get herself familiarized with the new soul weapon, she couldn’t go against her principle of being a servant for Lee Tao.

“Consider that my order and don’t forget, you still have one punishment for blocking my way.” Lee Tao said as he activated his movement technique.

With a swooshing sound, Lee Tao vanished from Tang Lingling’s eyesight.

Tang Lingling could only sigh in defeat as she stood in her position and tried to practice with the new soul weapon in her hand.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao began searching every nook and cranny for the chimera’s footstep.

“Where did that fat chimera beast go?” Lee Tao mumbled as he tried to follow his scent.

“Chimera, you stupid little beast. Reveal yourself or this daddy here is going to enjoy some delicious wagyu meat tonight.” Lee Tao shouted as he enhanced the voice with profound qi.

This ensures that no matter where the chimera went, it would hear Lee Tao’s threat as it wags its tail back to him.

It didn’t even take a few minutes before the chimera came crawling in toward Lee Tao.

“Where did you go?” Lee Tao asked in their beast language.

“I-I was finding the item that you wanted, sir.” The chimera whimpered as it extended its claws out.

Lee Tao raised an eyebrow when he noticed it was a sapphire-looking stone.

However, upon closer inspection, Lee Tao snatched the sapphire stone in disbelief.

“H-How is this possible?” Lee Tao muttered in a low tone.

Lee Tao nearly had his eye socket popped out as his hand began trembling at the stone.

“That pseudo-Immortal actually has a Relic Stone as the key to controlling this entire ancient ruin?”
