BXBX NOVEL Chapter 42: Encounter (1)
“These seniors are really birds of the same feather. Always telling you something but leaving out the crucial part for us to think.’
Yang Wei cursed inwardly as he closed his eyes to regain his conscience again.
Staying in this dark environment is not going to help him out and Elder Jing is probably going to scold him.
Yang Wei hoped that Elder Jing is more worried about his safety so that she wouldn’t blame him for scaring her.
As expected, when Yang Wei opened his eyes, he saw Elder Jing using her hand to inject some of her true qi into his abdomen.
‘Senior Nie Jin’s word, I can say for sure that he did not imply anything about Elder Jing. If she really wanted to harm me then I’ll be dead already.’
Yang Wei said inwardly while looking at Elder Jing with a gentle expression on his face.
“Elder Jing, you can stop injecting me true qi. I’m alright now.” Yang Wei’s voice alerted Elder Jing as she stopped her action.
She turned her head slightly and with an irritated expression, she shouted, “What is wrong with you Yang Wei? You have been unconscious literally almost every time there is a fluctuation of spiritual qi.”
Yang Wei smiles bitterly at Elder Jing’s speech. “Elder Jing, you have also fainted one time in the secret herb garden and it was longer than me.”
Yang Wei’s words embarrassed Elder Jing as her face soon became red. It was a shameful and disgraceful scene whenever she recalled herself lunging into Yang Wei.
Gritting her teeth, Elder Jing scoffed and pushed Yang Wei away.
Afterward, she stood up and faced Yang Wei with her back. “Hmph, what a cheeky mouth you have there Yang Wei. You can just go die.”
Yang Wei shook his head slightly at the behavior Elder Jing performed.
‘Well, at least I avoided talking about Nie Jin’s warning.’ Yang Wei said inwardly before getting up to catch up to Elder Jing who was walking away in a fast movement.
“Elder Jing, you should wait up for this junior.” Yang Wei chased after Elder Jing and said softly once he caught up.
Elder Jing ignored his complaint as she continued to travel faster, not even sparing a glance at him.
There was a bittersweet taste in Yang Wei when Elder Jing is acting like some spoiled girl being wronged.
“Did anyone ever say you are extremely cute when you become angry?” Yang Wei asked without caring if Elder Jing replied or not.
Though Elder Jing continued to ignore him, she could still hear his words clearly.
“Elder Jing, I’m really happy to be able to hold your hand and explore together with you.” Yang Wei said as he continued on.
“I’m willing to bet if we go back into the sect, all the male disciples would want to cripple me or even issue a life and death situation.” Yang Wei blabbered about how his situation with Elder Jing is something that everyone would envy of him.
Elder Jing was speechless by the shameless display of Yang Wei. ‘How did Yang Wei start to act like a scoundrel all of a sudden?’
Meanwhile, Yang Wei smiled brightly as he tried to lighten up the mood. At the same time, he was thanking one person in his mind.
That person was Meng Yan who had helped him enter the sect when the elder rejected him.
‘Thank you, Meng Yan. If it weren’t for you, constantly bothering me with multiple questions then I wouldn’t have been able to learn your skill to brighten up Elder Jing.’
Yang Wei kept on talking and it was unlike his usual demeanor where he stayed quiet most of the time.
The reason why Yang Wei always stays quiet is that he has no friends or lovers to chat with.
But now he has Elder Jing as a company and he was willing to interact with her. At this time, Elder Jing finally could no longer ignore him anymore.
Yang Wei has talked for more than 15 minutes straight without stopping when she was exploring the place they’re in.
Stopping her footstep, Elder Jing glared at Yang Wei and said, “When are you going to stop talking nonsense?”
Yang Wei smiled as he replied calmly, “I finally got you to look at me and talk to me again. It was suffocating to have you ignore me. The feeling was unpleasant for me.”
Elder Jing blushed slightly on the flirting that Yang Wei unconsciously said. However, she soon showed a solemn expression.
An ice-cold look appeared on her face, scaring Yang Wei who thought he was about to get beaten up for his annoyance.
“E-Elder Jing, I-I apologize. No need to get so violent.” Yang Wei stuttered as he stepped back a little.
Elder Jing rolled her eyes at Yang Wei for remaining ignorant. “There is a demonic beast swiftly approaching us yet you are acting so carefree.”
‘D-demonic beast?’
Yang Wei cried inwardly as he was so focused on brightening Elder Jing’s mood that he forgot to remain alert.
It wasn’t his fault to forget since remaining in the secret herb garden lowered his alertness.
Since there were only herbs in the area without any sign of a demonic beast. Yang Wei has slowly forgotten the true danger of this mysterious realm.
Yang Wei was ashamed of himself to commit such an amateur mistake as he scratched the back of his head slightly.
Afterward, Yang Wei became serious and asked, “Elder Jing, what are we going to do now?”
“As much as I want to avoid a fight, it seems like this demonic beast is tracking us so there’s no other choice but to fight.” Elder Jing said solemnly as she took out her sword.
Yang Wei nodded his head as he brought out his sword and held it tightly.
Shortly after, they could see a wolf-like demonic beast appearing in front of them. His ravenous teeth were shown as he growled at Elder Jing and Yang Wei.
