Primordial Cultivator-Chapter 310 - Captured
"Ahhh that was the best chicken ever~" Zhu Wenqian said blissfully as she licked her lips.
"The slow-cooked chicken added with the Dragon Soul Grass and some other herbs helped magnify the taste by tenfold." She added.
Zhu Wenqian continued to spend the next few minutes explaining how this dish was flavorful and juicy.
"I'm glad you liked it." Yang Wei said as he tried to hide his sadness inside.
After all, Zhu Wenqian had managed to finish the entire beggar chicken herself, leaving zero leftovers for him to eat.
'I should have taken a bite myself before giving it to her…' Yang Wei cried inwardly as he wasn't able to eat a really hefty beggar chicken.
All the ingredients used for this particular beggar chicken were extremely valuable and rare to find.
Sometime later, Zhu Wenqian asked, "Yang Wei, can I have another one?"
Her eyes were dazzling like sparkles, almost like the gloomy cliff had turned into a bright sun.
Yang Wei was almost blinded by her dazzling eyes as he turned around and took a deep breath.
"Can you never make that expression again?" Yang Wei asked once he calmed down.
"What expression?" Zhu Wenqian smiled gently.
"This has always been my expression." She added.
Yang Wei twitched his mouth.
As much as he wanted to vomit and disagree with her, he managed to hold himself back.
"I-Is that so… you are indeed very sparkly." Yang Wei said in a somewhat awkward manner.
Zhu Wenqian clicked her tongue as she decided to fake a cough.
"Cough, ugh, must have been the injury that I had from saving you…" Zhu Wenqian said pitifully.
Although her acting may be perfect, Yang Wei was too smart to fall for her trick.
However, he didn't dare to deny her words since it was also a fact that she was injured because of him.
Thus, Yang Wei gave in and nodded his head.
"Fine, I'll cook you another one but don't expect the ingredients to be the same since they are really hard to gather…" Yang Wei said as he stood up.
"Take your time, as long as it retains the same kind of aroma, this queen will be fine." Zhu Wenqian smirked.
While Yang Wei and Zhu Wenqian continued to bicker from time to time. In an unknown place, there were multiple cages full of people.
"Elder Chen Xue, what should we do?" A person in chains asked.
Elder Chen Xue grunted angrily as he glared at the person who asked him a question.
"What do you take me for? A saint? A god?" Elder Chen Xue snorted coldly.
"That goddamn Tang Xin not only caused us to be engulfed in the Anguished Fog but we were also captured by those Killer Bees." Elder Chen Xue added.
"SILENCE!"
Suddenly, a loud voice echoed from afar and Elder Chen Xue instantly kept his mouth shut.
Meanwhile, a loud clanking noise was made and a female was seen walking closer to Elder Chen Xue.
The female had bees-like wings in her back and she held a ferocious expression.
"If you make one more noise and cause a disturbance around here then don't blame me for boiling you humans in a pot." The female threatened as she exuded an intense killing intent.
The killing intent was extremely dreadful that the people inside the cage were almost suffocated to death.
Elder Chen Xue held a pale expression as he nodded his head.
"P-Please forgive this old man for his impudence." Elder Chen Xue stuttered as he begged for forgiveness.
The female snorted and sent a wave of spiritual qi toward Elder Chen Xue.
Elder Chen Xue was knocked back to the wall as he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"This is your last warning." The female hissed as she turned around and walked away.
Elder Chen Xue held a resentful gaze at the person who caused him to be punished. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ
"You better hope my cultivation base doesn't restore because you're the first person I will kill." Elder Chen Xue held a fiery expression.
Everyone in the cage had their cultivation base restricted when they were captured.
Thus, Elder Chen Xue was no different than a mere mortal that could only cower in fear before the strong.
"These damn bitches and their cages… treating this elder like some prisoner." Elder Chen Xue cursed.
While Elder Chen Xue suffered his new identity from a dignified elder into a prisoner, Yang Wei had just finished cooking another round of beggar chicken.
"Zhu Wenqian, this beggar chicken is for the both of us." Yang Wei said as he placed the beggar chicken down.
Zhu Wenqian pouted slightly when she realized she had to share her beggar chicken with Yang Wei.
"Aren't you supposed to be repaying your gratitude to me?" Zhu Wenqian complained.
Yang Wei grinned evilly as he cut off a chicken drumstick and placed it on his mouth.
"I have already given you an inch but you want to take a mile." Yang Wei said as he continued, "Unless you want me to finish this all by myself then it's better to tone it down."
Zhu Wenqian twitched her mouth as she glared angrily at Yang Wei.
"I shouldn't have rescued you so early and let you suffer more." Zhu Wenqian shouted and grabbed the drumstick.
Sometime later, Zhu Wenqian and Yang Wei laid down as they rubbed their stomachs.
"Although being a cultivator doesn't require us to eat food, it just doesn't feel right if I don't eat anything." Yang Wei mumbled.
"What about you, Zhu Wenqian?" Yang Wei then asked.
However, there was zero response and Yang Wei tilted his head to check what's going on.
To his surprise, Zhu Wenqian was fast asleep.
Seeing that she was asleep, Yang Wei covered her up with a blanket before moving aside.
"Senior Fan Ping… just how much backlash did she suffer?" Yang Wei then asked mentally to the pagoda residing in his core.
"That little lass… to rescue you, she had overused every last bit of her energy so she would most likely be fatigued for another week or so.." Fan Ping replied and gave some instructions for Yang Wei to help her recover.
