Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 63: Can I have a bite?

Lian Xinyue was walking slowly inside the cave when she heard Elder Jing making some happy noises. Lian Xinyue was dumbfounded to know that Elder Jing also had moments where she was happy and not cold-hearted.

As Lian Xinyue took another step closer, Elder Jing, who was about to eat another piece of chicken from Yang Wei, flinched slightly.

“What happened?” Yang Wei asked softly.

“Hmm, someone intruded on us when I clearly warned them that I do not wish to be interrupted nor disturbed at this time.” Elder Jing said and closed her eyes to sense who had the gut to disobey her.

Elder Jing’s spiritual sense spread around the cave and it didn’t take long before Elder Jing detected Lian Xinyue who shuddered slightly when she felt Elder Jing’s spiritual sense, piercing through every nook and cranny of her body.

Lian Xinyue swallowed some of her saliva nervously and didn’t dare to take another step forward, seemingly afraid of provoking Elder Jing further.

However, to her surprise, Elder Jing stopped her spiritual sense and ignored her. Lian Xinyue heaved a sigh of relief and tried to turn around to leave since she doesn’t wish to offend Elder Jing any further.

“You can come inside.”

Elder Jing’s voice echoed in the cave, giving Lian Xinyue permission to enter.

Lian Xinyue’s expression brightened as she ran forward to meet up with her.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei raised his eyebrow in surprise.

‘Elder Jing was interrupted but instead of getting mad, she allowed them to enter. Who could that be?’

Yang Wei pondered inwardly since he didn’t use his spiritual sense to check who was the intruder but soon, his question was answered when he saw the person appearing in front of them.

“Lian Xinyue?” Yang Wei called out, seemingly in confusion on why she would disobey the wording that was carved by Elder Jing.

“Um- Yes?” Lian Xinyue stuttered as she was dazed from the current view.

The aroma that she smelled from outside was in the ground and it was a chicken dish. In addition, it was clear that Elder Jing was having a great time with Yang Wei, almost like they were a couple, enjoying some delicacy together.

Elder Jing coughed slightly when Lian Xinyue held a disbelief expression.

Lian Xinyue snapped out from her daze and hurriedly cupped her fist together and bowed slightly before saying, “Elder Jing, sorry for disturbing your time.”

Elder Jing nodded her head slowly before grabbing a piece of chicken to her mouth. If it weren’t for Lian Xinyue’s presence, she would have made Yang Wei continue on feeding her.

Yang Wei could only smile bitterly when the person who ruined his lovely date was Lian Xinyue.

Grumbling~

As Elder Jing took a bite on the chicken before swallowing it with a blissful expression, Lian Xinyue’s stomach could no longer obey her as it started grumbling, startling Yang Wei and Elder Jing.

Lian Xinyue became bashful when she saw their stare as she raised both her hands to cover her face. She was embarrassed by her conduct since she couldn’t help herself from wanting to take a bite on the beggar chicken.

Lian Xinyue clenched her fist as she mustered up her courage before asking softly, “C-Can I have a bite?”

It took all of her energy and shamelessness to ask for some food. She had never done this before in her lifetime but the beggar chicken aroma continued to ravage her thirst for a piece.

Yang Wei was taken by surprise at her bold action as he glanced at Elder Jing for an answer. He cooked this beggar chicken specifically for Elder Jing so it was her decision to choose whether or not to share it with Lian Xinyue.

Elder Jing held a reluctant expression as she stared at the beggar chicken before staring back at Lian Xinyue.

The atmosphere became awkward as Elder Jing held an indescribable expression as she pondered on whether or not to permit Lian Xinyue from taking a bite of her beloved beggar chicken.

Time slowly passed by with Lian Xinyue standing still nervously with a bashful expression. If there was a corner or a hole to hide in, she would without a doubt go hide there.

Elder Jing heaved a soft sigh and glanced at Lian Xinyue before saying, “Just one bite and no more. Consider this my generosity and your reward from helping me with alchemy all this time in the sect.”

Lian Xinyue brightened up as she hurriedly sat down and Yang Wei cut a piece of chicken before handing it over to her.

Lian Xinyue grabbed the chicken that was glistening with the juices dripping down the ground. She wanted to swallow it in one go but considering that this was the only piece she would get, Lian Xinyue decided to take her time.

She started sniffing the aroma emitting from the chicken and took a small bite before swallowing it in her throat.

Instantly, the flavor intensified as it passed through her throat and into her stomach, causing her to show a blissful smile.

Yang Wei held a gawking expression as he stared at her reaction from just a teeny tiny little bite that she took. Not to mention, her appearance with that smile was a killing move to seduce men and he would have lost himself if it weren’t for his strong mentality.

Elder Jing’s face darkened when she saw Yang Wei continued staring at Lian Xinyue without blinking. In a fit of rage, she pinched his waist, causing Yang Wei to yelp aloud.

Lian Xinyue regained her composure from Yang Wei’s cries and asked in concern, “A-Are you okay, Yang Wei?”

Yang Wei gave a smile as he exclaimed, “I-I’m fine, I just thought I saw something lurking around so I yelled out in surprise. Sorry for the sudden outburst of mine.”

Although albeit confused, Lian Xinyue nodded her head slowly as she returned her focus to the piece of chicken in her hand as she took her merry time in eating it.

At the same time, Yang Wei glanced at Elder Jing with a bitter smile on why she suddenly pinched his waist.
