Chapter 35 - Shoe Massage

As Lee Tao continued to lead the way around the cave, the others couldn't help but become curious.

They had all landed on the cave at the same time as everyone yet Lee Tao was walking around the cave-like it was his own house.

"How do you know where the exit is?" Yao Meixiang asked as she followed closely behind him.

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

"Instinct." Lee Tao replied as he continued to walk leisurely.

Yao Meixiang raised an eyebrow but before she could open her mouth to speak again, Tang Lingling intervened as she walked next to Lee Tao.

"Young Master, you haven't drunk any water before." Tang Lingling said.

She then retrieved a water bottle and tried to give it to Lee Tao. "Young Master should rehydrate himself even if a cultivator doesn't necessarily require it."

Lee Tao glanced at Tang Lingling for a moment.

"I'm not thirsty," Lee Tao replied as he tried to brush away her hand.

However, Tang Lingling refused to budge an inch as she extended her hand further toward Lee Tao.

"Young Master, health is the most important quality." Tang Lingling said gently.

"You have exerted your profound qi before and didn't even get to rest properly. Please drink a few sips, okay?" She added.

Lee Tao sighed softly as he tried to shake his head again.

It wasn't that he didn't understand her kind gesture but Lee Tao didn't wish to be assisted by anyone.

He was capable enough to take care of himself and didn't need a babysitter to monitor his every step about being healthy.

"I don't want to drink-"

Suddenly, a loud cracking sound echoed in the cave, and Lee Tao held a dumbfounded expression.

Tang Lingling had crushed the unconscious Lin Cheng's leg while she continued to drag him on the ground.

"Can you repeat it again, Young Master?" Tang Lingling gave a gentle smile.

Her hand was gripping tightly on Lin Cheng's leg, almost like she was ready to snap it in half again.

Lee Tao shuddered slightly at Tang Lingling from her silent but deadly threat.

'It's just some water… did you really have to react like that?' Lee Tao wondered silently.

"Just snap his legs in half if you're going to do it anyway." Lee Tao said as he grabbed the water bottle from Tang Lingling.

Tang Lingling smiled when Lee Tao began drinking a few sips as she nodded her head.

"Very well then, Young Master." Tang Lingling said.

A loud cracking sound echoed in the cave when Tang Lingling snapped both of Lin Cheng's legs in half.

Lin Cheng then woke up from the pain as he screamed in agony.

"AHHH, my legs, my legs." Lin Cheng screamed as he clutched onto his broken legs with his hands.

"Oh shut up already." Lee Tao shouted as he placed his foot on Lin Cheng's mouth.

After that, Lee Tao tilted his head to glance at Tang Lingling.

"Next time, make sure you cover their filthy mouth when breaking their legs. Otherwise, they're going to be screaming like a chicken and annoying the hell out of us." Lee Tao said.

Since he was already being generous today, Lee Tao decided to give Tang Lingling some life lessons for the future on how to torture people and deal with the aftermath.

Meanwhile, a muffled groan began emitting from Lin Cheng's mouth as he tried to push Lee Tao's shoe away from him.

Alas, Lee Tao stepped harder, grinding Lin Cheng's teeth in the meantime.

"Don't you dare try and use your filthy hands to touch on my shoes, understand?" Lee Tao said in a furious tone.

Seeing how Lin Cheng didn't nod his head nor respond to his question, Lee Tao stomped harder.

Blood started leaking out of Lin Cheng's mouth as he began nodding his head vigorously.

Not only was his legs crippled and shattered by Tang Lingling, but his mouth was also being destroyed by Lee Tao's shoe.

Lin Cheng wanted to cry as he wondered what crimes he did wrong or how he had offended Lee Tao in the past.

'Why are you constantly targeting me?' Lin Cheng cried inwardly as he could finally take a breather when Lee Tao stopped stepping on him.

Alas, no one bothered to care about the pitiful Lin Cheng.

Lee Tao threw the water bottle back to Tang Lingling.

Tang Lingling caught the water bottle as she began dragging Lin Cheng.

"Let go of me already." Lin Cheng roared in anger. Lin Cheng began struggling to free himself.

Tang Lingling snorted as she twisted his broken legs.

"ARGH!"

Lin Cheng groaned in pain as he gnashed his teeth to try and withstand it.

"One more word from you and I don't mind crippling your arms as well." Tang Lingling said coldly.

And she continued, "The Young Master had stated you are still of some use for him. However, the Young Master only stated for your status to be alive, meaning it doesn't matter if you become a full-fledged cripple or not."

Lin Cheng turned pale as he tried to glance at Jia Qiu, Meng Xue, and Yao Meixiang for assistance.

"Y-Yao Meixiang… we are fellow students in the Tianyun Academy right?" Lin Cheng stuttered as he began pleading for mercy.

"I-I didn't really harm you and was simply dumbfounded when you had stopped assisting the barrier. It was only an act committed in the heat of the moment." He added.

Yao Meixiang wrinkled her brows as she sighed softly.

"Senior Lin Cheng, a person reveals their true self when it's in the heat of the moment. Thus, your heart is indeed rotten to the core and Lee Tao was right the entire time." Yao Meixiang said.

She then ignored the begging of Lin Cheng as she hastened her movement to catch up to Lee Tao.

Lin Cheng knew he had failed to convince Yao Meixiang for mercy as he tried to beg Jia Qiu and Meng Xue.

However, before he could even speak, two angry shoes launched at his face. Lin Cheng's handsome face was stomped once again by dirty shoes.

He was probably the only one in the vast universe to enjoy such a blessing of a great shoe massage in the face.
