Primordial Cultivator

After recuperating his spiritual qi, Yang Wei made sure to cast a barrier around him.

With the barrier, Yang Wei could feel his spiritual qi remained at a constant rate, no longer being depleted by the black insect.

'Just what is this black insect existence?' Yang Wei cried inwardly.

He had never seen such a creature before or heard of a creature that can absorb a cultivator's spiritual qi.

Yang Wei had his hand clutch tightly on the Lightsbane as he narrowed his gaze on the black insect.

The black insect was acting weird as it simply stood still when he was recuperating his spiritual qi.

"Why is the black insect not attacking?" Yang Wei mumbled as he was confused by its action.

It had chased him all the way outside from the spiritual core of the corpse yet it suddenly had no intention of attacking.

"Could it be…" Yang Wei thought as he grinned evilly. "So it's like that huh, you are weakened when you're outside."

Yang Wei believed that the black insect could only reside on a cultivator's spiritual core.

However, Yang Wei regretted his words as he seemed to have provoked the black insect.

The black insect started to emit a red glowing aura, showcasing a strong killing intent.

Yang Wei swallowed his saliva nervously as he felt powerless. His pupil constricted as Yang Wei wanted to curse himself for acting smart again.

"W-We can talk about this in a courteous manner, right?" Yang Wei laughed awkwardly as he wanted to calm the black insect down.

Yang Wei was sure about one thing after the black insect showcase of prowess.

The black insect had no intention of killing him from the beginning.

After all, if the black insect truly wished to kill him then Yang Wei would have died already as he couldn't resist the profound aura emitted by the black insect.

The black insect took a few more moments to calm down as it retracted the murderous aura.

Yang Wei sighed softly as he cleared his throat softly.

"I know we started off on the wrong foot but believe me, I didn't mean to harm you if I had known you weren't going after my life." He said.

"Tch, ignorant human." The black insect suddenly hissed as it growled at Yang Wei.

Yang Wei was deeply shocked by the black insect.

It was not because it started speaking but the fact that it shouted in an extremely feminine and enchanting tone.

'Oh heavens, please don't play this joke on me.' Yang Wei prayed to heaven as he hoped there wouldn't be any more meeting with the black insect.

"What are you still standing there for?" The black insect shouted as it began glowing a fiery red. "This queen is hungry and I can sense your storage ring has something delicious."

Yang Wei's face was ashen as he cursed silently in his heart. 'Not another crazy woman. I have enough of them already.'

"I just want to pursue the martial dao and improve my cultivation. Why are you doing this to me, heaven?" Yang Wei screamed at the top of his lungs as he glared toward the sky.

Meanwhile, the black insect stared at Yang Wei with a confused expression.

"Oi, did your mind go crazy because of my strength?" The black insect shouted. "This queen is hungry and you had interrupted my meal so you better pay for it."

The black insect then emitted the same murderous aura again. The grounds began trembling as it couldn't bear the pressure emitted from the black insect.

Yang Wei shuddered momentarily, his expression was lifeless as he wondered about his miserable moment.

"Are you ignoring this queen?" The black insect shouted in anger as it slowly transformed.

From a hideous-looking black insect, the black insect slowly manifests into a beautiful and charming woman.

Yang Wei plopped to the ground, almost like he didn't even care about her transformation into a magnificent woman.

'Damn it, can't I get a break for once.' Yang Wei then released his hand on the Lightsbane as it dropped to the ground. He no longer has any will to fight.

His encounter was supposed to be an amazing individual adventure where he strived through countless dangers for treasures.

However, the expectation was more often or not just a dream. A dream that would never become a reality.

"What are you doing? This queen is hungry." The black insect- or should it be called a beautiful woman now, asked in an irritated tone.

"What does your hunger have to do with me?" Yang Wei scoffed as he laid his back on the ground.

"This queen here, and this queen that. Just how are you a queen now when you simply transformed into a woman?" He added in a mocking tone.

The so-called queen was enraged by Yang Wei's mocking tone. She exuded a cold aura and clenched her fist. "You think I wanted to be a hideous-looking insect? If it weren't for-"

"If it weren't for someone backstabbing your back, you wouldn't have been in this situation." Yang Wei said, interrupting her words.

And he continued, "I didn't miss the details right? Or it could also be a family member of yours, jealous of your status and plotted against you."

Yang Wei mocked as he asked Xiao Wei to come back to his side. Just in case, the woman really wanted to kill him, Yang Wei decided to crush his talisman to escape.

Meanwhile, the so-called queen was in disbelief as she glared at Yang Wei.

'Never had I ever met such an unruly and rowdy man before.' The queen cursed inwardly as she kicked the ground softly.

With a whoosh, she appeared in front of Yang Wei.

Yang Wei quickly activated his talisman when he noticed the queen was about to make a move.

However, the queen suddenly flicked her hand, and the fluctuation that was surrounding Yang Wei dissipated.

Yang Wei sighed softly as he shook his head and gave up the hopes of escaping.

'Welp, I knew a person like her must have been strong but to think she could cancel the talisman with a simple flick..' Yang Wei then closed his eyes, showing zero resistance.
