Chapter 290 - Saint World
"Can I really not go back on my words?" Yang Wei stuttered.
For some reason, he couldn't help but feel an ominous omen once he learned about Zhu Wenqian's full story.
"Are you even a man?" Zhu Wenqian scoffed angrily.
"As a man, you're not allowed to go back on your words and I'm going to tell my story now whether you like it or not."
Yang Wei sweated profusely as he heaved a soft sigh.
"Fine, but don't expect me to do anything." Yang Wei said.
He then continued cooking the meat while having his waist wrapped around tightly by Zhu Wenqina.
.
Although Yang Wei didn't know why he would wrap her around him like hot glue, he decided to allow her to do whatever.
It wasn't like she was harming him so Yang Wei kept silent as Zhu Wenqian began speaking.
"Anyway, did you know besides this current world, there are many worlds out there?" Zhu Wenqian asked.
Yang Wei nodded his head.
"I have heard of this world being regarded as a Mortal World from a senior already." Yang Wei said.
"Good, so I don't have to bother explaining all that unnecessary information." Zhu Wenqian grinned as she continued with her story.
"As you already know, I can utilize Saint Qi in my body, unlike you humans."
Zhu Wenqian then emitted some Saint Qi from her fingertips, showcasing how different her qi was from the spiritual qi Yang Wei knows.
"I hailed from the Saint World- a world that every Saint Race regarded as their homeland."
"Saint World?" Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.
"Is the Saint World similar to the Mortal World?" He then asked.
Zhu Wenqian suddenly laughed in a mocking tone. "Similar? It's not even close to the word similar."
And she continued, "The Saint World is a thousand times better than the Mortal World and every person you find in the street in the Saint World is enough to demolish you."
Yang Wei grumbled slightly as he knew she was looking down on the humans again.
However, he didn't argue with her because her words are more often or not the truth.
'Sigh, why are humans always so weak?' Yang Wei asked inwardly as he placed the meat down on a plate to let it rest.
Afterward, Yang Wei retrieved a small knife and began slicing the meat that has been resting for a long time.
"You're probably hungry by now right?" Yang Wei asked as he handed a plate toward Zhu Wenqian.
Zhu Wenqian smiled blissfully as she quickly released her hand around his waist and reached for the plate.
"About freaking time that the meat should be finished." Zhu Wenqian hissed as she began to stuff her mouth full with the meat.
In between her eating, Zhu Wenqian continued with her story, "My family is one of the top clans in the Saint World and are regarded as one of the best."
"Nobody in the Saint World would dare to even offend us who held the surname, Zhu." Zhu Wenqian held a prideful expression when she explained her Zhu Clan and their domination over others.
Yang Wei rolled his eyes at her. Grabbing his own plate, Yang Wei ate his meat and commented, "If your clan is really as powerful as you said, then why are you here? In our Mortal World that you look down upon no less."
Zhu Wenqian suddenly paused her movement as she tried to open her mouth to rebuke.
However, not a single sound was coming out of her as she was rendered speechless by Yang Wei's argument.
After all, her being on this cliff with Yang Wei was the decisive evidence that her clan clearly had met with problems.
"S-Shut up and just listen would you?" Zhu Wenqian raised her tone in a tsundere type of act.
Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders.
"As long as you remained neutral in your story then I wouldn't have made any comments. If you want respect from others then you must first give them the respect that you wanted." Yang Wei said.
Zhu Wenqian nodded her head.
"Fine, the point is, I do not belong in this world and only came here accidentally through a space storm during the portal."
"Portal?"
"Yes, a portal is like transportation or teleportation from one place to another. It's powered by spirit stones and they are extremely costly to activate in a single-use."
Yang Wei became intrigued since it was his first time hearing about a portal that could transport a person from one world to another world.
"W-Wait… what did you mean by a space storm?" Yang Wei suddenly asked.
She had mentioned coming to this world accidentally then it must have meant that her original destination wasn't here.
Meanwhile, Zhu Wenqian held a bittersweet expression.
She heaved a soft sigh as she placed her plate down on the ground. "There was a rebellion in my Zhu Clan and we suffered a miserable defeat. To escape… my father forcefully opened a portal and sent me inside."
"I was traveling through the space void to another world- one that was brimmed with life, unlike the Mortal World." She added.
"What do you mean by brimming with life?" Yang Wei showed a bit of dissatisfaction when Zhu Wenqian continued to look down on them.
There were multiple people living the Mortal World as well and it was filled with life.
Zhu Wenqian clicked her tongue as she threw a fit. "I meant the spiritual qi supply in the world. The Mortal World we're in right now is extremely weak and scarce for a cultivator to even reach past the Xiantian Realm."
"Reach past the Xiantian Realm?"
"Yes, you'll need an abundant amount of qi in the world to help you break through the mortal's shackle." Zhu Wenqian explained.
"However, the moment I met with an accident in the portal and landed here, I noticed there was barely any qi that supplied every corner of this world."
Yang Wei became dumbfounded. "There's not enough spiritual qi in this world?"
