Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 335: Fiery Werewolves

“Does your majesty have any complaints about my arrangement?” Fang Xifeng asked sometime later.

She had waited for a few minutes for a reply from Qian Xurong yet she seemed to be lost in her thought process.

Thus, she decided to enquire if she had done anything wrong.

“Ahh, my bad, I was just wondering what that senile old man was thinking about in having Yang Wei purposely stay in here.” Qian Xurong snapped out of her daze and said.

Fang Xifeng raised an eyebrow.

“What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?” She asked.

Qian Xurong chuckled softly as she placed the box-looking item beside her bed for the first time.

“What I mean to say is that… your so-called petty tricks in fooling Yang Wei to help your task is orchestrated by that shrewd Fan Ping.” Qian Xurong explained.

Fang Xifeng was stunned by the words that Qian Xurong uttered.

Meanwhile, Qian Xurong laughed when she saw the shocked expression of Fang Xifeng.

“In front of a shrewd old man like Fan Ping, one must be extremely cautious.” Qian Xurong warned.

And she continued, “Back in the day, he was known as the notorious man that caused multiple people to suffer misfortune simply because he wanted to see their reaction.”

“U-Unbelievable…” Fang Xifeng mumbled.

Sometime later, Qian Xurong waved her hand to dismiss Fang Xifeng.

“Anyway, I doubt that shrewd old man is targeting us so you can return to your duty. As for why that shrewd man wanted to force Yang Wei to stay here longer… It is most likely because he wanted to improve his strength.” Qian Xurong said as her focus soon returned to the box-looking item.

Fang Xifeng could only nod her head despite the confusion as she left Qian Xurong’s luxurious room.

Shortly after leaving, Fang Xifeng began sending some sort of signals to the Killer Bees.

Within a few seconds, her ears twitched slightly as she showed a surprised expression.

“Wow… that Yang Wei had already started the task. And to think he had completed a lot of tasks already during my visit to her Majesty.” Fang Xifeng said in shock as she quickly activated her movement technique.

With a swooshing sound, she reappeared outside of the nest and floated midair as she used her spiritual perception.

“There he is…” Fang Xifeng mumbled when she located Yang Wei.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei, who was currently hunting some magical beasts in the area suddenly halted his movement after killing a magical beast.

“When did the second-in-command turn into a peeping tom?” Yang Wei teased as he turned around and glanced in a certain direction.

Although Fang Xifeng was located pretty far from him. With his newly increased soul power, his spiritual perception had also expanded a lot.

Thus, it didn’t take long for Yang Wei to notice Fang Xifeng was using her spiritual sense to check on him.

Sometime later, Fang Xifeng glided toward Yang Wei as she landed gracefully on the ground.

“What is a peeping tom?” She asked.

“A peeping tom is someone who eavesdrops or spies on someone secretly- usually applies to horny men who want to watch naked women bathing.” Yang Wei swiftly replied as he secretly covered his chest with his hands.

Fang Xifeng twitched her mouth at his shamelessness when she finally understood the meaning of a peeping tom.

“S-Shameless scoundrel. Who the hell wants to spy on your ugly shit?” She shouted in anger.

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders.

“Who knows what is going on in the mind of a woman? If I knew then I wouldn’t be in this predicament where I have a bunch of tasks to do.”  Yang Wei then proceeded to find more magical beasts to farm for materials.

As much as he wanted to tease her further for causing him to be in this predicament, he didn’t wish to waste his time doing so.

A moment of joy is not worth it in his mind.

As Yang Wei continued to use his spiritual perception to sense where the magical beasts are lurking in the area, he noticed Fang Xifeng had been following him behind.

Although being followed by someone didn’t bother Yang Wei, it was still tedious being watched by someone.

The feeling was like when your parents forced you into studying and kept their eyes on you at all times to make sure you aren’t being distracted.

“Can you stop following me already?” Yang Wei finally said when he couldn’t stand her presence around him.

“Who’s following you? I’m just taking a leisure walk in my free time.” Fang Xifeng snorted.

“Then can’t you take your leisure walk somewhere else?” 

“No can do, I love this path the most, and the scenery around here is beautiful.”

Yang Wei nodded his head.

“Fine, then you can take your leisure walk around here and enjoy the scenery. I will go to another area to hunt,” Yang Wei said as he walked away from his current pathing.

However, Yang Wei could feel Fang Xifeng following him close behind as soon as he changed his path.

“Now what?” Yang Wei asked as he glared at her. “I already changed my path to allow you to enjoy the scenery alone.”

“Hmm, I had a change of mind. I wanted to see a new change in scenery, so I’m walking this path instead.” Fang Xifeng showed a gentle smile as she kindly explained her reason.

‘What is wrong with her?’ Yang Wei wondered silently. 

He recalled her saying that she no longer wished to see him so Yang Wei couldn’t help but wonder what’s with the new change in her.

“D-Did you fall in love with me?” Yang Wei asked.

Fang Xifeng instantly showed a disgusted look at Yang Wei.

“Stop being narcissistic, Yang Wei. You’re not handsome enough to make any woman swoon over you.” She sneered.

“If that’s the case then why are you following me?”

“As I’ve said before, I’m merely taking a leisure walk and not following you.”

Yang Wei wrinkled his brow slightly as he crossed his arms and sat down.

“You win, go ahead and walk. I’ll just sit here and wait for the time to pass.” Yang Wei said.

With Fang Xifeng around, Yang Wei can’t even find any magical beasts to hunt.

After all, her cultivation base is extremely high. Any sensible magical beasts would have long fled the area as soon as they felt her powerful aura.

Fang Xifeng clicked her tongue.

‘Tch, just what are these two people hiding? There’s no way they would be willing to stay here if they truly had a method to leave here.’ She thought.

Sometime later, Fang Xifeng walked about 3 meters away from Yang Wei as she copied his posture and sat in a lotus position.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei held a dumbfounded look at her action.

‘Why is she following me around like some stalker?’ He wondered silently.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward when everything was quiet with no one speaking.

In the end, Yang Wei could only grit his teeth as he stood up and activated his movement technique.

With lightning speed, Yang Wei hoped to ditch Fang Xifeng’s sight by moving extremely fast.

Alas, it was a futile effort when Yang Wei could sense Fang Xifeng was keeping their distance.

‘Since you want to follow me, then it would be impolite of me to not make use of you to my advantage.’ Yang Wei sneered inwardly as he quickly sent a mental transmission to Fan Ping.

“Senior Fan Ping, where is the nearest hideout for those Fiery Werewolves?”

Fan Ping took a few seconds before replying to his question. “About 100 kilometers away from your 3 o’clock direction.”

Yang Wei nodded his head.

He then changed his trajectory and followed the direction that Fan Ping had mentioned.

Sometime later, Yang Wei noticed a gloomy entrance ahead of him that was oozing out some poison gas.

Yang Wei quickly retrieved some pills to consume, and without any hesitation. He dived right into the gloomy entrance.

Meanwhile, Fang Xifeng paused her movement slightly when she saw Yang Wei charging through the poison gas without any hesitation.

“Heh, that must be the secret that they were hiding.” Fang Xifeng sneered coldly. 

“Did they think some poison gas was enough to block me off? What a joke?” 

A few moments later, Fang Xifeng exuded her aura and cast a barrier around her.

Afterward, she dived right into the gloomy entrance, following behind Yang Wei.

After flying around, Fang Xifeng realized she could no longer sense Yang Wei’s presence.

Pausing her movement, she glanced around her surroundings.

“Where did that brat go?” She asked in confusion.

Suddenly, a loud roaring echoed throughout the cave, and Fang Xifeng squinted her eyes at the numerous Fiery Werewolves that appeared at the same time.

Fang Xifeng clicked her tongue when she saw them salivating.

“Damn it, did that brat assign these Fiery Werewolves to safeguard his secret?” Fang Xifeng muttered as she raised her guards up.

Even she would have trouble dealing with multiple Fiery Werewolves alone.

“Good luck hunting those Fiery Werewolves on my behalf, Fang Xifeng.” Yang Wei smirked as he glanced at the projection screen inside the Pagoda.

Seeing how Fang Xifeng had begun fighting, Yang Wei lay in a small cot with some wine in his hand as he enjoyed the show.
