Primordial Cultivator-Chapter 348 - Returning

A few days had gone by, and Zhu Wenqian was still deep in slumber.

"Why is she still not awake?" Yang Wei asked from the side as he checked on her pulse. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

"It's been a few days already, and she is still sleeping…"

Suddenly, a small groan sound could be heard.

"Ungh, what happened?" Zhu Wenqian rubbed her forehead slightly as she gazed around her surroundings.

Yang Wei twitched his mouth.

"Stop pretending to have amnesia, Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei said as he crossed his arms.

"W-What do you mean?"

"Do you really take me for a fool? Your acting is complete crap, and you simply wanted to avoid the blowjob incident."

Zhu Wenqian began sweating nervously as she cursed Yang Wei silently in her mind.

'Since you know I want to escape that, then why expose me?'

After a few moments of silence, Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders as he stood up, "Whatever, I had already said I would forgive you."

"R-Really?"

"Yes, so can you please tidy up yourself and stop stalling time."

"R-Right away," Zhu Wenqian said swiftly as she got off the bed and began fixing her clothes.

However, she felt the wrinkled clothes in her were unsuitable.

'The clothes are a bit smelly…' She sniffed her sleeve for a bit before she began stripping her clothes.

"..."

Yang Wei was rendered speechless when she watched her casually take off her clothes in front of him.

'Seriously, what is she thinking?' Yang Wei sighed softly as he kindly took his leave silently.

Although she may have done something ridiculous behind his back, he wasn't going to be a scoundrel and watch her strip naked.

He headed outside as he looked for another person- or should he say an Ice Egg.

"Xie Dong, are you still alive?" Yang Wei asked in a rude remark as he glanced at the Ice Egg.

The Ice Egg was still emitting its usual cold aura, but thanks to the fact that they are currently in the Pagoda, the coldness had subsided.

The Ice Egg trembled slightly as a voice resounded.

"Hmph, you're still going to continue to act rudely in front of me?" Xie Dong grumbled slightly.

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders.

"And whose fault do you think it is?"

"Tch, speak, what do you want from me? I doubt you came all the way here just to sneer at me."

Xie Dong was no idiot. He knew that Yang Wei must have something to say to pay him a visit.

After all, ever since that incident with Zhu Wenqian suffering a backlash, he was side-casted to the shadows.

Yang Wei nodded his head.

"I'll be leaving this dimension soon, so if you want, I can return you back to that waterfall passage." He offered.

Although he was still mad at his conduct, it was also true that it was thanks to his persistence that had caused this problem.

Thus, it was only natural for him to return where Xie Dong was originally living before bidding farewell.

Xie Dong stayed silent for a few minutes as he was unsure of what to do.

'Staying in this Pagoda with the rich spiritual qi has boosted my cultivation rate to new heights… If I return to that waterfall passage, then my cultivation might take another few centuries.'

"So? What is your answer, Xie Dong?" Yang Wei asked again.

"I don't have all the time to wait for your answer." He added.

Another few seconds go by, and Xie Dong finally bent over with his Ice Egg's figure.

"P-Please allow me to stay here, Yang Wei." Xie Dong pleaded.

Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.

"Why would I let a ticking bomb stay in the Pagoda?" Yang Wei laughed sarcastically. He had no idea when Xie Dong would suddenly decide to try and invade his consciousness again.

There was no way he would do something as stupid as risking his life just because of a pleading.

Being soft-hearted is a death sentence in the cultivation world.

Xie Dong was put in a dilemma as he understood Yang Wei's worries.

"H-How about if I offered you some of my Ice Crystal Drop?" Xie Dong suggested.

"Ice Crystal Drop? What is that?" Yang Wei asked.

Before Xie Dong could respond, a gust of wind occurred and Fan Ping revealed himself as he scoffed coldly.

"Yang Wei might be ignorant, but did you really think you could take advantage of him under my watch?" Fan Ping sneered.

Xie Dong trembled slightly as he shouted angrily, "What do you mean, Fan Ping? Ice Crystal Drop is like my lifeline and I'm willing to offer it."

After that, Xie Dong decided to change his form in order to negotiate better.

A blue glowing light emitted from the Ice Egg as it started having multiple cracks.

Energy circulated around it as a miniature figure could soon be seen popping out.

"..."

Both Yang Wei and Fan Ping were speechless at Xie Dong's transformation.

Xie Dong's current appearance right now was no different than that of a little 7 years old kid.

"Truly a shameless old man. Imagine pretending to be a little kid to trick people." Fan Ping said sarcastically as he shrugged his shoulders.

His words were like a sharp arrow, piercing through the very soul of his body.

"Did you think I want to look this little?" Xie Dong snorted coldly. "My cultivation is still not complete, so this is the best I can do for now."

"Why not just admit how useless you are? Cultivating for multiple centuries, yet that is the best result you can afford." 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

"S-Shut up…" Xie Dong felt his face turning bright red from embarrassment.

"A-Anyway, Yang Wei, what I'm offering is literally my lifeline. So can you please allow me to stay here to cultivate?" Xie Dong gazed at Yang Wei with a pitiful gaze as he revealed the Ice Crystal Drop.

Alas, Yang Wei shook his head as he showed a solemn expression.

"I can not gamble on this," he said softly.

Xie Dong's face turned ashen white as he gritted his teeth. With a difficult expression, Xie Dong finally offered another thing.

"Fine, we can make a contract."

Suddenly, both Yang Wei and Fan Ping grinned wickedly as they bro-fisted.

It was only at this moment did Xie Dong realize… he had been played like a fool by the amazing act from Fan Ping and Yang Wei.

"Ahem, as a senior, one word spoken can never be taken back." Yang Wei coughed slightly as he quickly retrieved a contract paper.

Xie Dong felt like committing suicide. As someone who had lived for many centuries, he could not believe that he was scammed hard.

"Y-You two are the incarnation of a demon." Xie Dong spatted as he reluctantly signed the contract.

He had already scanned through the contract term, and it was to his benefit as well, so he didn't waste any time signing it.

Once the contract was activated, Xie Dong quickly reverted back to his Ice Egg form as he ignored his surroundings.

He had no intention of listening to their laughter.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei quickly left the scene to meet up with Zhu Wenqian.

"Have you finished prepping?" Yang Wei asked.

Zhu Wenqian nodded her head.

"Yup, we can leave at any time you want."

"Alright then, let's get out of the Pagoda for now." Yang Wei said as he controlled the Pagoda's function and transported them back to the outside world.

Sometime later, Yang Wei inspected their surroundings and made sure it was safe to use the metal token.

"Here, inject some of your spiritual qi or Saint Qi in the metal token and we should be able to leave this dimension," Yang Wei said as he threw one of the metal tokens toward her.

Zhu Wenqian was a fast learner as she quickly understood how to use the metal token.

"Alright, here we go… 3.... 2… 1"

At the count of 1, both of them injected their qi into the metal token as their body was soon shrouded by a golden light.

Zhu Wenqian was the first one to turn into a speed of light as she vanished from the dimension.

Yang Wei was about to follow ahead until a voice echoed from behind.

"Did you really think you can leave without suffering consequences?"

Yang Wei was dumbfounded when he recognized this familiar voice.

"F-Fang Xifeng?? How did she get here?" Yang Wei asked in surprise before meeting eye to eye with Fang Xifeng.

Fang Xifeng's claws were wide open as she prepared to launch a deadly strike.

"Hmph, to tease me and play me like a toy. Go to hell, Yang Wei." Fang Xifeng yelled as she got closer to Yang Wei.

"W-Wait, don't enter the golden light." Yang Wei tried to warn her.

Alas, it was already too late as the golden light surrounded Fang Xifeng's body as well.

Fang Xifeng raised an eyebrow before getting pushed by an unknown force as she collided with Yang Wei.

The golden light swallowed them up, and with the speed of light, they broke through the sky as they left the dimension.
