3: Chapter 3 Traitor! What did you feed me?!

Cao Kun laughed even more recklessly, his chest vibrating, which caused his broken body to break into a fit of violent coughing.

But he didn't care.

The resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for countless days and nights finally found an outlet.

Looking at the beautiful face before him—one that had once made him feel awe, obsession, and bone-deep hatred.

Cao Kun felt comfortable all over, his thoughts clear and unhindered.

"Revered Master, your expression really makes me feel a sense of pity."

He patted Yu Linglong's smooth, tender cheek.

Unfortunately, he had no strength.

Otherwise, he would have left a few palm prints to give this slut a lesson she'd remember.

Cao Kun stopped wasting words; he had delayed long enough.

Heaven knew if the Medicinal Pill's control effect would wear off.

To avoid any further complications.

He picked up the crimson Medicinal Pill from Yu Linglong's fingertips.

Then, with his other hand, he roughly squeezed her delicate jaw and forced it open.

"Ah..."

Yu Linglong's red lips were forced open, revealing her neat, pearly teeth and a glimpse of her clove-like tongue.

In the next second, the Soul-Tethering Spirit-Attracting Pill was stuffed inside by Cao Kun without any tenderness.

Gulp.

The Medicinal Pill melted as soon as it entered her mouth.

Yu Linglong didn't even have time to react.

She felt a strange torrent of energy rush down her throat, instantly invading her Dantian.

That energy was incredibly domineering, instantly wrapping around her rotating, brilliant Golden Core.

Immediately after, a mysterious power ignored the Physical Body's barrier and was branded directly into the depths of her Divine Soul!

A sense of submission coming from her Soul arose spontaneously.

At that moment, a series of System notification sounds began to spam wildly in Cao Kun's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully capturing a Spirit Beast. The novice quest is complete!]

[Quest Reward: 1,000 task points.]

It worked!

Cao Kun was ecstatic, and before he could finish celebrating, the next notification followed immediately.

[Ding! It has been detected that the difficulty of this novice quest was extremely high. The host successfully captured a Late Golden Core Stage Spirit Beast with a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivation, achieving the "Defeating the Great with the Small" achievement!]

[Additional rewards: Strange Small Ball x1, jade beast ring x1, 1,000 task points!]

[Strange Small Ball: An exclusive tool for Beast Tamers, used to remotely control and contact Jade Beasts.]

[jade beast ring: An exclusive tool for Beast Tamers. Once worn, the Spirit Beast becomes your exclusive partner. It cannot be removed by anyone except the Revered Master. It comes with built-in tracking and disciplining functions, and if the Revered Master dies, the Spirit Beast will also die.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for officially becoming a regular and qualified rookie Beast Tamer! The personal panel has been updated. Please check it promptly!]

Cao Kun was stunned for a moment.

This jade beast ring and the Strange Small Ball...

This System... its nature is a bit complicated.

Who uses these things for normal beast taming?

System, you're not quite right!

Before Cao Kun could open his inventory to study just how strange the so-called Strange Small Ball was.

The paralyzing effect that had been restraining Yu Linglong disappeared.

She regained her ability to move!

Almost the instant she regained her freedom.

The overwhelming rage and killing intent of a Golden Core Cultivator instantly filled the entire room.

"Cao! Kun!"

Yu Linglong's beautiful eyes widened, and her jade-like hand was raised high.

Majestic spiritual power gathered in her palm, bringing with it a wave of terrifying fluctuations that made one's heart tremble.

This palm strike was intended to blast this audacious Rebellious Disciple into dust on the spot!

Cao Kun's pupils shrank.

Holy crap!

You damn System, you're playing me!

What happened to the successful capture? Where's the after-sales service? Where's the return button!

A furious strike from a great Golden Core Cultivator—not to mention his current wretched state, even in his prime, he would have died instantly.

However, just a moment before Yu Linglong was about to strike.

The mark branded deep within her Soul suddenly turned burning hot!

"Ugh!"

Yu Linglong let out a muffled groan.

That jade hand, filled with a killing move, actually went limp and hung down uncontrollably.

Yu Linglong was completely stunned.

She looked at her disobedient hand with shock and anger, trying once again to mobilize her spiritual power.

But the result was the same.

She discovered that as long as she maintained the thought of killing Cao Kun.

The brand deep in her Soul would issue a warning.

Forcibly cutting off all her attack commands.

"Bastard! What exactly did you give me to eat?"

Seeing her exasperated yet helpless look, Cao Kun finally felt at ease.

Since he wouldn't die, it was time for him to show off.

"Nothing much."

"Just a small Master-Recognition Pill."

"Revered Master, you've eaten my thing. From now on, you're my pet."

"Pet?"

Hearing these two words, Yu Linglong was so angry her delicate body trembled, and her Dao Heart almost became unstable.

She was an inner sect Elder of the Hehuan Sect!

The dream lover of countless male Cultivators in the Qingzhou cultivation world!

And now, this trash disciple whose potential she had sucked dry.

The one she could crush to death at any moment was actually saying she was his pet?

This was simply a humongous humiliation!

"You're looking for death!"

Yu Linglong didn't believe she could be completely controlled by a single Medicinal Pill!

Since spiritual power attacks were ineffective, she would use her Divine Sense to attack Cao Kun!!

How powerful was the Divine Sense of a Golden Core Cultivator? If she used its full force, it would be enough to turn a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator into an idiot on the spot!

But the result was still the same.

As soon as her Divine Sense left her body, it was ruthlessly dissipated by the rules.

[Jade Beast has developed a thought of killing its Revered Master. taming value -5.]

[Current taming value: -5/100.]

[Friendly Reminder: This Jade Beast is wild and hard to tame. It is suggested that the host perform deep taming as soon as possible to increase the taming value; otherwise, you might easily suffer a backlash, dear~!]

In his mind, the System issued a thoughtful reminder.

Looking at Yu Linglong's pretty face, which was flushed with anger, the wicked thoughts in Cao Kun's heart grew even more intense.

"Revered Master, don't waste your energy."

"The more you're like this, the more excited I get!"

After saying that, he opened the System mall.

Looking at the 2,000 task points he had just received, he unhesitatingly exchanged them for a "Ten-Year Lifespan Pill."

The pill entered his mouth, and its medicinal power surged through his entire body.

Cao Kun could clearly feel his withered body regaining vitality.

Although it was just a drop in the bucket, at least he no longer needed to lean against the wall to walk.

His blood and Qi recovered a bit, and his back straightened.

Feeling the long-lost vitality in his body, Cao Kun turned his gaze back to Yu Linglong.

Yu Linglong subconsciously took a step back, real fear showing in her eyes for the first time.

The Cao Kun before her clearly still looked old and decrepit.

But in her eyes, he was more terrifying than any demon!

"I've long heard that Revered Master has been stuck in the Late Golden Core Stage for many years, unable to break through or make any progress."

"This disciple is untalented, but today, I shall lend Revered Master a hand to help you form your Nascent Soul soon!"

As he spoke, Cao Kun had already closed in on her.

Yu Linglong was completely panicked.

She could no longer maintain the composure of a great Golden Core Cultivator; she was pale with fright and couldn't help but scream.

"You... what are you going to do!?"

"Does Revered Master not have an idea of what this disciple wants to do?"

"Rebellious Disciple! How dare you!"

Cao Kun smiled without a word, reached out, and grabbed a corner of her luxurious purple dress.

With a gentle pull.

Rip—

As the purple dress slid down from those perfect fragrant shoulders.

Only a terrified scream could be heard.

"Rebellious Disciple! Don't... stop!"

Yu Linglong
