Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 278 - Tantrum

"Alright, I got it. Stop thinking I'm a greenhouse flower." Zhu Wenqian pouted when Yang Wei continued to warn her over and over again.

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders.

"With your unpredictable behavior, I just don't want to jeopardize my life because of you." Yang Wei said as he gave his reason.

"What do you mean by my behavior?" Zhu Wenqian was ticked off by Yang Wei.

"For your information, my cultivation realm is tenfold higher than yours and I can also utilize Saint Qi," she added.

Yang Wei sighed softly as he shook his head.

.

"Anyway, can you just follow closely behind me?" Yang Wei asked.

"Fine, but if there are any mishaps, then I'm pinning it on you." Zhu Wenqian snorted.

Yang Wei nodded his head.

Sometime later, Yang Wei began treading the new open passage with caution.

Even though he had scanned everywhere on where the traps were located. There could be a chance of some traps that he had failed to detect.

It was better to be safe than sorry and Yang Wei would not act rashly when they aren't even in a rush to explore the new passage.

"Oh right, how did you manage to evade the detection of my array formation?" Yang Wei asked.

He was still confused about how Zhu Wenqian managed to appear in front of him.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhu Wenqian halted her movement as she tilted her head slightly.

"You know- that array formation I set up when I was running away from you?"

"Oh, you mean that array formation? Our Saint Race is unique and those array formations are basically useless against us."

Yang Wei sweated profusely as he cursed his own luck to encounter such a ridiculous race.

'How can a race be so heaven-defying?' Yang Wei cried inwardly as he continued walking ahead.

After walking for another hour or so, Zhu Wenqian's mood became sullen as she pouted.

"How much longer are we going to keep walking?" Zhu Wenqian muttered as she tugged on Yang Wei's sleeve.

She was exhausted from the long walk and decided to use Yang Wei as a pulley strength to keep her moving.

Yang Wei ignored her complaint as he continued to concentrate on the path he had decided on. 'Up ahead is a hidden arrow mechanism so it's best to avoid it and move to the left side.'

Yang Wei then changed his trajectory to the left side as he continued to step ahead.

However, he felt his movement being pulled away from moving forward.

Heaving a soft sigh, Yang Wei stopped his movement and turned around to face the princess-like Zhu Wenqian.

"What are you complaining about now?" Yang Wei asked.

"C-Can't you be gentler with a lady?" Zhu Wenqian mumbled as she held a pitiful gaze. "I-I'm exhausted and my tummy has been rumbling ever since."

Yang Wei twitched his mouth.

"Aren't you a cultivator?" Yang Wei asked in a calm demeanor.

"Cultivators can utilize the spiritual qi around them to fill up their hunger. Since you have Saint Qi that is more powerful than spiritual qi, you could use this method to fill your hunger," he added.

Zhu Wenqian shook her head.

"I'm different from other cultivators. I feed on the soul force of a cultivator and if someone didn't barge in on my meal, I would have been full by now." Zhu Wenqian said.

"What do you want then?" Yang Wei gave up as he knew she wanted something from him.

Her action and implication were too obvious for him to not notice her ulterior motive.

Meanwhile, Zhu Wenqian clapped her hands happily when Yang Wei offered to feed her.

"Yang Wei is indeed generous." Zhu Wenqian smiled cheekily as she extended her hand out.

"I'm really easy to be fed with so you can just hand over the Dragon Soul Grass to me." Zhu Wenqian said.

Yang Wei's expression darkened as he flat-out refused her request.

"Dream on, the Dragon Soul Grass is off the market." Yang Wei scoffed as he couldn't believe her.

Give her an inch and she'll take a mile from you.

Zhu Wenqian started tearing up as she plopped to the ground on her knee.

"Wahhh, Yang Wei is a bully. You just promised me but now you want to nullify it. Wahhh Wahhh." Zhu Wenqian began crying like an annoying little girl.

However, Zhu Wenqian was anything but a normal little girl as her crying started to affect the cave structure.

Her tear-jerking crying sound managed to shake the cave structure and Yang Wei quickly dropped to his knees to coax her.

"S-Stop crying already, Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei tried to sound as gentle as possible.

He then placed his on her back to pat her softly to soothe her emotion.

Zhu Wenqian held a resentful glare at Yang Wei as she kept her hand out.

"Dragon Soul Grass now." Zhu Wenqian said.

"Can't you choose something else?" Yang Wei pleaded awkwardly.

It was hard for him to pick up something as precious as the Dragon Soul Grass yet Zhu Wenqian's tantrum was about to yoink it from him.

'Why is this cave so weak?' Yang Wei cried inwardly as he cursed the cave structure. Just a few crying sounds managed to cause the cave structure to tremble.

If this were outside and Yang Wei didn't need to worry about being buried alive, he could care less about the tantrum thrown by Zhu Wenqian.

Alas, his luck was extremely terrible as Zhu Wenqian threatened to cry like a little girl again.

With a shattered heart, Yang Wei retrieved the Dragon Soul Grass. He then began plucking a few pieces off and handed them over to Zhu Wenqian.

"I want the whole thing," Zhu Wenqian pouted.

"Either have this amount for now or you're getting none." Yang Wei scoffed as he stored the Dragon Soul Grass back into his storage ring.

Zhu Wenqian clicked her tongue as she could only accept the current amount before getting up and extended her hand out.

Yang Wei sighed as he began his movement while holding Zhu Wenqian's hand to drag her.
