Primordial Cultivator

"Yang Wei, can you stop being so petty." Zhu Wenqian said as she poked on his back.

Currently, Yang Wei was laying down and had his back facing toward her. At the same time, he was ignoring her every word.

"I know I'm wrong about calling your cooking terrible…" Zhu Wenqian mumbled.

"Can't you forgive this queen's words already?"

Sometime later, Yang Wei finally opened his mouth to respond to Zhu Wenqian.

"Zhu Wenqian, I'm currently exhausted right now and want to rest." Yang Wei said.

"Aren't you just being petty and angry at me?" Zhu Wenqian said in a somewhat pitiful tone..

Yang Wei heaved a soft sigh as he turned and faced her.

"Zhu Wenqian, I don't have the time nor energy to be mad at you." Yang Wei said.

He then pointed his finger at the sky that had turned dark already.

"It's nighttime already and we should rest well for the day. Otherwise, we're going to be in trouble if we have to run away again."

Zhu Wenqian nodded her head.

"Indeed… we haven't rested enough ever since we left the cave and encountered the Anguished Fog." Zhu Wenqian said as she laid down next to Yang Wei.

"There are so many spacious areas around here… Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei said.

He felt her body warmth oozing out toward him and he was a bit uncomfortable with that.

If the person laying next to him wasn't Zhu Wenqian but Elder Jing instead, then Yang Wei would have been happy.

However, she wasn't and Yang Wei had barely known much about her.

"Why did you feel the need to lay next to me?" Yang Wei asked, hoping to have Zhu Wenqian find another spot to sleep in.

"Am I really that unbearable to you?" Zhu Wenqian suddenly said.

"It's scary to be sleeping alone and you should be happy that I'm sleeping next to you. After all, it means I have full trust in you for being a gentleman." She added.

Yang Wei was rendered speechless since she was complimenting him.

Thus, he found it hard to find another excuse to push her away as that would make him look petty.

"Fine, but we are simply going to sleep and nothing else." Yang Wei warned as he closed his eyes.

Zhu Wenqian smirked as she nodded her head happily.

Sometime later, Zhu Wenqian and Yang Wei fell fast asleep as they rested for the night.

Meanwhile, outside the cliff, two people were running around in amok.

"What the hell are those bees?" A person shouted in a panicked voice as he increased his pace.

"You ask me, I ask who?" Another person snorted as he flicked multiple spiritual qi toward the black wisp of clouds.

If one decided to take a closer look at the black wisp of clouds. Then it would show that the black wisps are actually made of a bunch of Killer Bees.

The people currently running away were wearing blue robes and Yang Wei could easily determine who they were with one glance.

They are the disciples from the Burning Sword Sect.

"Damn it, where are Elder Chen Xue and the others?"

"Shut up already, Peng Tian! If you have time to curse then you should have time to delay these bees."

"And you're much better than me huh? Your spiritual qi did nothing to those bees, Luo Zian." Peng Tian snorted coldly.

"Hmph, still much better than you who kept running and not stalling." Luo Zian replied in anger.

"Over there, we can take cover under those tree leaves." Luo Zian suddenly shouted as he pointed in a direction.

Peng Tian nodded his head.

Sometime later, they increased their movement and hid under the tree leaves.

They then concealed their aura and presence as they kept quiet. The Killer Bees were dumbfounded as they tried to survey the areas.

Peng Tian and Luo Zian sweated profusely as they waited for a long time before the buzzing noises slowly diminished from their area.

"Phew, just what exactly are those bees?" Peng Tian complained as he retrieved some herbs and rubbed them in his injured arm.

He was attacked by the Killer Bees when they first got out of the Anguished Fog.

The next thing he knew, they were running around everywhere, hoping to find Elder Chen Xue's location.

"I don't know either… The only thing I know is that Tang Xin is still here somewhere." Luo Zian suddenly said.

"We were so close at stopping him yet the Anguished Fog suddenly surrounded us like some madman," he added.

Peng Tian sighed softly as well.

"What is this place even… our communication devices are all blocked off by some phenomenon," Peng Tian said as he glanced at the dark sky.

"It doesn't matter anymore, Peng Tian." Luo Zian said as he stood up. "We are now together in this crap so we'll need to work together from now on."

Peng Tian nodded his head.

"You're right, we don't even know how many crazy creatures are in this area."

"Anyway, we can't hide here any longer." Luo Zian then said as he took a step forward.

However, the terrain they were standing on began to tremble and Luo Zian's expression paled.

"Crap!" Luo Zian cursed.

"We need to get away from here." Luo Zian tried to warn Peng Tian but it was too late.

The terrain shattered as they started falling down.

A loud thud sound echoed around as the two of them landed on the ground.

"Fuck, Luo Zian, are you trying to kill us both now?" Peng Tian shouted angrily as he brushed off some dust.

"It's not my fault that the terrain couldn't support your fat weight," Luo Zian roared back.

He wasn't going to take the blame for what happened when it was because of him that they managed to avoid the Killer Bees.

While Peng Tian and Luo Zian continued to argue, they suddenly felt a cold chill in their neck.

A sword was being pointed next to their neck and they could feel death was lingering around.

"Who are you?" Yang Wei asked as he revealed himself. "Don't even try anything funny unless you think your neck can handle my sword."
