Primordial Cultivator-Chapter 60: Beggar Chicken (1)

Chapter 60: Beggar Chicken (1)

“What is beggar chicken? I never ever heard of that dish before in my life.” Elder Jing asked softly.

Yang Wei smiled briefly but kept silent, causing Elder Jing to become irritated by the secrecy.

“Tell me now or I will feed you my newest pill creation.” Elder Jing threatened, hoping to make Yang Wei confess up about beggar chicken.

However, Yang Wei merely shook his head and said, “It’ll be no fun if you know it beforehand.”

And he continued, “Trust me this one time, I promise to make the best chicken dish you will ever taste in your entire life.”

Elder Jing could only clench her fist as she walked toward the cave and glanced at Yang Wei from time to time.

Once they arrived in the cave, Elder Jing stared at Yang Wei, indicating to him to hurry up and make the beggar chicken for her already.

She was starving from fighting for so long since she hasn’t been fighting much besides concocting pills. Yang Wei saw her stomach grumbling and giggled softly as he withdrew a chicken from his spatial ring.

Elder Jing became dumbfounded and asked, “Where did you get that chicken from? I’m pretty confident that there are no chickens in my courtyard and you would have cooked that already otherwise we wouldn’t have to kill a Lightning Wolf for its meat.”

Hearing her questions, Yang Wei scratched his head slightly in embarrassment, almost like he wasn’t willing to tell Elder Jing how he obtained the chicken.𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

Elder Jing squinted her eyes at Yang Wei because she knew him too well that whenever he acted unnaturally, it meant he was hiding something from her.

“Tell me now or would you want to eat some punches before telling the truth.” Elder Jing made a grinning face as she clenches her fist, causing some cracking sounds to echo around the cave.

Yang Wei started sweating and trembled in fear as he hurriedly exclaimed, “It was during the time when we were catching up to the Feather Wind Sect disciples. I was too far behind you and saw some chicken scurrying around the forest so I decided to catch some of them first before meeting up with you.”

Yang Wei lowered his head in shame once he revealed the truth about him getting the chicken. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about his fellow disciples but it was because he was confident in Elder Jing’s ability to save everyone so he thought it wouldn’t hurt to spend some time catching some chicken.

Even though cultivators do not require food anymore to fill their stomachs, Yang Wei still enjoyed the process of eating delicacies and with Elder Jing as a companion, he was willing to cook as many times as possible to brighten her mood.

After learning a little bit about her tragic past, Yang Wei wasn’t going to just sit still and not do anything to make Elder Jing feel happier with him by her side. This was a good chance for him to earn some more attraction points from Elder Jing.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing twitched her mouth slightly in disbelief at Yang Wei’s carefree attitude.

“You- I can’t even believe you do this kind of thing. Do you know what would happen to you if your fellow disciples learned that you would rather catch some chicken instead of rushing to save their life?” Elder Jing asked after regaining her sense from his ridiculous explanation.

“Eh… I believe my fellow disciples would agree with my action. After all, we don’t even know each other well so if the scenario was swapped and I was the one in danger then I am sure that they would not be willing to risk their lives to save mine.” Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders.

He had no interest in saving them if it weren’t for Elder Jing intent on saving their life for some reason. Also, Lian Xinyue was an exception since she could be considered his savior due to the fact that she gave up the mission of helping Elder Jing out.

Elder Jing rubbed her head slightly as she needed to take some time to calm herself down.

“Sigh, I know you aren’t one to open up to others but in the cultivation world, you must learn to have at least some friends that you can rely on otherwise when you get ganged up by others, no one would be there to save your life.” Elder Jing said slowly, hoping that Yang Wei would understand her motive.

Sure, she has been betrayed once but it doesn’t mean everyone who tried to be your friend would betray you.

“I understand your point, Elder Jing.” Yang Wei replied calmly while being careful with his tone in case he opened up her wound again.

Elder Jing wanted to care for Yang Wei and at the same time, Yang Wei didn’t want Elder Jing to worry about others and focus on relaxing herself.

He may seem like a youth but he was not ignorant to the point where he believed the world to be all rainbows and colorful.

Not willing to waste any more time, Yang Wei grabbed some lotus leaves that he picked up from the herb garden to start wrapping around the chicken.

Elder Jing was spectating the process in silence with a smile hanging on her face. However, her expression soon changed when she saw something outrageous happening.

“YANG WEI!” Elder Jing shouted.

Yang Wei shuddered and almost dropped the chicken for her sudden outburst.𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

Yang Wei turned his head around to glance at Elder Jing and asked softly, “What happened, Elder Jing?”

Elder Jing’s face darkened as she pointed at the chicken that Yang Wei was holding and asked solemnly, “Why are you placing the dirt all around the lotus leaves? How can the chicken still be eaten when it’s covered in dirt?”

Yang Wei was rendered speechless as he recalled telling her that it’s going to be a surprise and an amazing dish that she will ever taste.

“I told you, I’m going to make my hometown specialty, beggar chicken.” Yang Wei said with a serious face.
