Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 308 - Prisoner

"Oh, the Ice Egg seems to be more special than what it's recorded in the ancient text then." Zhu Wenqian mumbled softly.

"What do you mean by special?" Yang Wei asked.

Zhu Wenqian took a few moments to recollect her thought process before explaining things to Yang Wei.

"According to my knowledge, the Ice Egg shouldn't have any change in temperature whether it's daytime or nighttime." Zhu Wenqian said.

And she continued, "Thus, this might be a special case of Ice Egg that was altered due to the environment here."

Yang Wei nodded his head.

"I see… it would explain why no Killer Bees would dare to mess with the Ice Egg given it's a special entity.." Yang Wei said.

Sometime later, Zhu Wenqian yawned as she was tired after eating a ton of meat.

"Anyway, I'm going to head to sleep now." Zhu Wenqian said as she lay down and closed her eyes.

"What about your Heaven Devouring Abyss?" Yang Wei asked.

"Keep it in your storage ring for now… You're going to revisit the Ice Egg sooner or later so it's troublesome for me to keep taking it out and lending it to you."

After that, Zhu Wenqian turned around and concentrated on sleeping.

Seeing how Zhu Wenqian had quickly fallen asleep, Yang Wei decided to use this chance to cultivate and wait for the next morning.

Although he hadn't said anything, his body was actually really cold due to the Ice Egg.

Thus, even if Yang Wei wanted to sleep, he couldn't since the cold temperature seemed to be abnormal where even alchemy flame was not able to warm it up.

Time slowly passed by and morning soon arrived with Yang Wei sitting in a lotus position.

"Ungh, did you cultivate the whole night?" Zhu Wenqian rubbed her eyes softly and asked.

However, she was confused when Yang Wei didn't reply to her as she decided to get up and walked toward him.

"Yang Wei?" Zhu Wenqian called out again.

Her expression quickly turned ashen white when she realized Yang Wei's face was nearly frozen.

"What the-" Zhu Wenqian was dumbfounded as she quickly sat behind Yang Wei and tried to inject some of her Saint Qi to warm him up.

As the Saint Qi injected into Yang Wei's body, Zhu Wenqian could feel a slight sensation coming from him.

"Did the Ice Egg do something to Yang Wei?" Zhu Wenqian asked herself as she decided to use Nirvanic Regeneration to help Yang Wei out.

Alas, it was proven useless when Yang Wei's condition remained unchanged.

Meanwhile, inside Yang Wei's consciousness, he found himself trapped in a frozen cage. Everywhere was surrounded by icicles and a large ice wall that prevented him from escaping.

"Where am I?" Yang Wei mumbled as he tried to punch through the thick ice wall.

However, his punch seemed to have done nothing and the cage began emitting a cold aura.

The cold aura was so fierce that it made Yang Wei's body tremble from the inside.

Yang Wei could see his hand getting frostbite from the extreme cold.

"Am I being trapped by some phenomenon again…" Yang Wei cursed his luck aloud as he wondered why he was always the misfortune one.

Suddenly, Yang Wei felt a warm sensation coming from the outside and there was a dim but subtle light surrounding him.

With a closer inspection, Yang Wei realized the dim light was made of Saint Qi- one that belonged to Zhu Wenqian.

Feeling the sensation of the Saint Qi, Yang Wei was finally able to retract his conscience and escape from the ice cage.

With a swoosh, Yang Wei returned to reality as he opened his eyes slowly.

"Zhu Wenqian, thanks for the help." The first thing Yang Wei did was to thank her for rescuing him from some unknown phenomenon.

After all, Yang Wei was going to be a prisoner in the ice cage if he didn't receive her Saint Qi.

However, a few moments had gone by and Yang Wei still didn't hear a reply from Zhu Wenqian.

He then turned around and saw Zhu Wenqian's complexion was completely pale.

"Zhu Wenqian?" Yang Wei became alarmed as he quickly held her waist and retrieved a pill to feed her.

"What happened to you?" Yang Wei asked once her complexion turned better.

Zhu Wenqian smiled bitterly as she glared at Yang Wei.

"Wasn't it all your fault for being trapped?" She snorted coldly and tried to pinch his waist.

Alas, her pinch was akin to nothing since she was still weakened from overusing her Saint Qi.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei raised an eyebrow as to why Zhu Wenqian became grumpy.

She had just saved his life yet turned extremely cold the next moment. Such behavior was really hard for Yang Wei to comprehend.

"You made me use Nirvanic Regeneration on you more than 5 times before I was able to drag your consciousness back out." Zhu Wenqian said angrily when Yang Wei was acting like an ignorant man.

Yang Wei scratched his head as he held an apologetic look at Zhu Wenqian.

"How about I cook you one of my specialties?" Yang Wei offered as he wished to earn her forgiveness.

"What specialty?" Zhu Wenqian asked.

"Beggar chicken- one of my best dishes ever."

"Beggar chicken? Did you take this queen for a beggar because of my current appearance?"

Zhu Wenqian mistook Yang Wei's good intention as an insult.

"After I went out my way to save your sorry ass, you decided to repay me with beggar chicken?" Zhu Wenqian grumbled in anger as she wished to grind him into multiple pieces.

Yang Wei twitched his mouth as he wondered if he should change the name of beggar chicken.

"Trust me Zhu Wenqian, you are free to break my bones if the dish isn't as tasty as I said." Yang Wei patted his chest as he proved his confidence.

Zhu Wenqian narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

"Hmph, it better be tasty since this queen had wasted a lot of her Saint Qi and it'll take some time for my recovery to happen."
