Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 289 - Full Story



She didn\'t dare to utter a single sound to alert the Killer Bees.

"Stay in your position and make sure to conceal your presence." Yang Wei replied back as he made sure to calm Zhu Wenqian down.

Zhu Wenqian nodded her head.

She remained still in her position and concealed her presence completely.

Now, no one could sense Zhu Wenqian\'s position unless they were meeting her directly in the eyes.

.

The swarms of Killer Bees remained around the cliff for another few minutes before they left.

Sometime later, Zhu Wenqian made sure that the Killer Bees had really left the area and wasn\'t trying to bait them out.

"Phew… never in my life did I have to cower myself like this." Zhu Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief as she complained.

"This is how the cultivation world, every step is a life and death situation." Yang Wei rolled his eyes as he retrieved some ingredients from his storage ring.

"What are you doing with those raw meats?" Zhu Wenqian asked.

"Cooking."

"Cooking? You can also cook?"

Zhu Wenqian was dumbfounded to realize how many things Yang Wei can do despite his young age.

\'Alchemy… Investigation Skills… Soul Force… What else is he hiding?\' Zhu Wenqian pondered inwardly.

Sometime later, Yang Wei began seasoning the raw meats with some condiments.

His action was swift and Zhu Wenqian became immersed in his cooking skills.

"Is that how the meat becomes flavorful?" Zhu Wenqian muttered. "I thought the flavor comes naturally from the meat itself…"

As Zhu Wenqian pondered over the mysterious flavor of the meat, Yang Wei activated his alchemy flame.

"A-Are you going to cook it now?" Zhu Wenqian asked.

Yang Wei shook his head.

"I\'m just going to sear the meat first."

"Sear the meat?"

"Un, I\'m searing the meat to render the fat down. By doing these steps first, the fat would merge with the tender meat and it would be an amazing bite."

Although albeit confused by Yang Wei\'s explanation, Zhu Wenqian nodded her head.

Her stomach was rumbling and it had only increased when the Killer Bees suddenly came near their cliff.

Once the fear is over, hunger would strike instantly as they would start craving for food.

Thus, Zhu Wenqian didn\'t complain for the first time and merely watched Yang Wei\'s cooking in admiration.

Time slowly passed by and Zhu Wenqian began drooling in her mouth.

"I-Is the meat done yet?" Zhu Wenqian wiped off some of her saliva in the corner of her mouth as she asked Yang Wei.

"The meat is already sizzling with white smoke… I think it\'s edible already." She added.

Zhu Wenqian then tried to extend her hand out to grab the piece of meat that was resting on a plate.

However, Yang Wei slapped her hand hard before she could even get the meat.

"If you want to ruin this piece of meat then eat it now." Yang Wei scolded.

Zhu Wenqian held a pitiful expression as she sat down grumpily, almost like a wrong kid that was caught stealing some food before dinner.

Yang Wei ignored her expression as he focused back on cooking another piece of meat.

"How many pieces of meat do you want?" Yang Wei asked.

Although he had scolded her, Yang Wei still cared about her well-being since they are in a dilemma together.

Yang Wei needed Zhu Wenqian to be in her top form just in case there were more enemies and that they would have no other choice but to fight.

"I want 10 pieces."

Zhu Wenqian showed her ten fingers as she asked for 10 pieces of meat.

She had a wide grin hanging on her face.

Yang Wei held a gawking expression as he didn\'t know how to respond to Zhu Wenqian.

"You really have no shame in asking for 10 pieces of meat." Yang Wei commented as he retrieved another 10 meat out.

Zhu Wenqian shrugged her shoulders.

"Don\'t let my appearance fool you but I\'m currently suffering from an injury. I need a full tummy to be able to stay healthy." Zhu Wenqian said.

"What kind of injury are you suffering from?" Yang Wei asked as he started seasoning the meat again.

Meanwhile, Zhu Wenqian suddenly stayed silent upon hearing his question.

Yang Wei realized he might have overspoken his words. "F-Forget about it. Pretend I didn\'t ask at all."

Talking about their injuries was never a good thing since it would remind them of how they received it in the first place.

It was a similar scenario when Yang Wei asked Elder Jing about her injury but this was slightly different.

Yang Wei and Elder Jing had formed a close relationship over time, unlike Zhu Wenqian.

"Do you really want to know about my injury?" Zhu Wenqian suddenly said after a moment of silence.

Her solemn tone and serious expression made Yang Wei shudder slightly.

Yang Wei swallowed some of his saliva nervously as he stuttered, "I-I won\'t have to pay for a price in knowing right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like- I won\'t suddenly become a target of an assassination of learning about your injuries."

Zhu Wenqian curled her lips upward as she smiled wickedly.

"What do you think?" Zhu Wenqian asked.

"Then never mind, I\'d rather stay in the dark." Yang Wei said.

"Too late, kiddo." Zhu Wenqian smirked as she launched herself toward Yang Wei.

Her hand wrapped around Yang Wei\'s back as she leaned her head closer.

"W-W-What are you doing?" Yang Wei was surprised by her action.

"I\'m cooking here and the alchemy flame is at a high temperature. Your action was dangerous as you could have been burned accidentally." He warned.

"Tsk, shut up and listen to my full story." Zhu Wenqian hissed as she wrapped tightly around Yang Wei\'s waist.
