Chapter 288 - Cliff

    Zhu Wenqian was in a pouty mood as sheined to Yang Wei.


    "Was I wrong for trying to help us?" She asked.


    Yang Wei shook his head.


    "I know you have good intentions but sometimes, good intentions could result in a more terrible oue." Yang Wei said.


    "There was a time that I tried to help out a friend in goodwill." Yang Wei then said.


    "And so? What happened to that friend then?"


    Yang Wei smiled bitterly. "My goodwill only made things worse and I was left with a bitter taste at the final oue."


    Zhu Wenqian raised her eyebrow. She was confused as to who the friend Yang Wei mentioned.


    However, she didn''t get a chance to do so when the swarm of Killer Bees was approaching them at a rapid pace.


    "Let''s go," Yang Wei said as he turned around and activated his movement technique.


    Fighting head-on without knowing their enemy''s strength would be idiotic. It would be wiser to wait and gather more intel about their enemies.


    Zhu Wenqian quickly followed after Yang Wei''s movement.


    Sometimeter, Yang Wei and Zhu Wenqian hid in a nearby cliff.


    "How long are we going to hide here?" Zhu Wenqian asked.


    Yang Wei sneaked a peek at the sky.


    The sky was still covered by swarms of Killer Bees and they have been circling around the area, most likely surveying the area to look for them.


    "I doubt we can leave the cliff anytime soon," Yang Wei said.


    "There are too many Killer Bees in the open and unless we decide to risk our lives to fight them, we should just stay here for a while."


    Zhu Wenqian clicked her tongue as sheid next to a wall. "It''s all your fault, Yang Wei."


    "How is it my fault now?"


    "If you hadn''t interrupted my meal then I wouldn''t have chased after you and ended up in this mess." Zhu Wenqian pouted.


    Yang Wei twitched his mouth.


    ''Woman… you are being unreasonable here since we both share the me equally.'' Yang Wei sighed inwardly as he sat down opposite Zhu Wenqian.


    Sometimeter, the buzzing noise around the sky continued to increase.


    "Those damn Killer Bees are really stubborn," Zhu Wenqian cursed when she nced at the increased swarm outside.


    And she continued, "We didn''t even offend them yet they chased after us like we had destroyed their nest or something."


    Suddenly, Yang Wei became dumbfounded as he asked Zhu Wenqian again.


    "What did you just say?"


    "What do you mean what did I just say?" Zhu Wenqian raised an eyebrow.


    "I''m saying we didn''t even offend them." She added.


    "Not that sentence… I mean thetter part."


    "Like we had destroyed their nest or something?"


    Yang Wei nodded his head.


    "That''s right… there should have been others that were trapped in the Anguished Fog like us." Yang Wei said.


    Zhu Wenqian held a gawking expression as she crawled toward Yang Wei.


    "You mean there are others in the Misty Forest that came in with you?" Zhu Wenqian asked.


    "That''s right, I originally came here to capture a notorious person called Tang Xin." Yang Wei replied.


    Zhu Wenqian tilted her head in confusion. She had never heard of the man, Tang Xin so she didn''t know how to react.


    "Who is this Tang Xin?" Zhu Wenqian asked.


    Yang Wei smiled bitterly as he decided to spend the next few hours describing Tang Xin and his deeds in the past.


    By the time Yang Wei finished exining his story, Zhu Wenqian showed a nonchnt expression.


    "That''s it?" Zhu Wenqian uttered.


    "I was expecting some really notorious deed but just some human experiment. Boring!"


    Yang Wei wrinkled his brows. "How is capturing humans for some experiment logical to you?"


    Zhu Wenqianughed as she sneered, "We''re living in a cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak. Those humans and cultivators that got captured by Tang Xin could only me themselves for being weak."


    "But we should still have some morals and not target innocent people. Otherwise, our dao would be tainted and it''ll be hard to improve our cultivation base." Yang Wei argued back.


    Zhu Wenqian shrugged her shoulders as she held a fierce gaze at Yang Wei.


    "You''re being a hypocrite right now, Yang Wei." Zhu Wenqian said.


    "No one is moral or immoral in the cultivation world. There is only the strongest."


    "Strongest huh…" Yang Wei mumbled softly.


    Only the strongest rule and the strong can do whatever they want without facing any retribution.


    After all, no one could ever go against them due to their sheer prowess. Thus, if the strongest said it''s alright to mass murder then mass murder would be allowed.


    Yang Wei turned silent at the thought of what would happen to their current world if there was a deranged person who is also the strongest.


    Such a thought was horrifying and Yang Wei quickly shook his head to snap out of his thought process.


    Sometimeter, a rumbling sound echoed around the cliff.


    Yang Wei twitched his mouth as he tilted his head to nce at Zhu Wenqian.


    "H-Haven''t you eaten enough already?" Yang Wei stuttered as he asked her.


    It hasn''t even been a day and Zhu Wenqian''s stomach began rumbling again.


    Zhu Wenqian''s face flushed slightly in redness as she shouted, "What? Do you think this queen has ever starved herself once?"


    "I''m a queen and I always eat luxurious food, so this situation is new for me." She added.


    "If you were really a queen then why were you in a dead corpse, absorbing their spiritual core." Yang Wei asked.


    "Didn''t you guess it already?" Zhu Wenqian hissed.


    "Those fucking servants from my family betrayed us and I was forced toe to this lowly world out of my will."


    "Why did they betray you?"


    Zhu Wenqian rolled her eyes. "Power- they want to annex my family''s power and influence. The Saint Race has always been ruled through strength alone."


    "Not much different than us human race then." Yang Wei snorted.


    Zhu Wenqian was about to argue more when arge buzzing sound started echoing around their cliff.
