Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 166: A Tracker

Su Mingxia’s comment on Yang Wei being poor made him blush slightly.

“Well… I was always living a frugal life until now and wouldn’t it be a waste to just leave their treasures out in the open.” Yang Wei scratched his head as he explained.

  Su Mingxia started laughing and said, “You can loot his body but I’m not sure if you want to loot the other three guards.”

Yang Wei raised an eyebrow in confusion.

He was focused on killing Luo Xue so he didn’t have time to figure out what Su Mingxia had done to the other guards besides the fact that they are most likely dead.

“What do you mean by that?” Yang Wei then asked.

Su Mingxia shrugged her shoulders and said, “If you want to loot the other guards then I’m afraid it would be pretty difficult… considering the fact that their bodies are being devoured.”

“Devoured?”

“Mhmm, there were magical beasts that came because of our commotion and now they are enjoying a lovely feast.”

Yang Wei was rendered speechless at Su Mingxia’s ruthless manner yet still said it in a bright tone, almost like she was talking about a very exciting event.

“I guess I can only loot Luo Xue’s treasure then,” Yang Wei sighed softly as he headed toward the decapitated corpse.

However, he was surprised to see multiple magical beasts fast approaching him.

Yang Wei unsheathed his sword instantly as he prepared to fight the magical beasts.

“The loot is mine to take for and not yours,” Yang Wei cursed loudly as he wasn’t going to share the loot with the magical beasts until he got his share first.

“Why are you so worked up?” Su Mingxia suddenly said from behind as she giggled.

She couldn’t help herself from laughing at Yang Wei’s conduct and behavior as none of the people she has met would react like Yang Wei.

“You can rest easy and take your time looting him. Those magical beasts aren’t dumb enough to provoke an enemy that is far stronger than them.” Su Mingxia added as she patted his shoulder.

Yang Wei tilted his head slightly and sure enough, he saw the magical beasts halted their movement, or more precisely, they were afraid of approaching any closer.

‘The wonder of being strong is really envious.’ Yang Wei sighed inwardly as he continued to loot Luo Xue’s treasure until he found a particular rock.

Yang Wei held it up in confusion as he didn’t expect Luo Xue would have a rock that has no values considering his personality.

Luo Xue was the typical arrogant and lustful man that will never hold something invaluable in their possession.

Thus, Yang Wei decided to show the rock to Su Mingxia and asked her what it’s about.

“Tao Ai, what is this rock for? Is it something useful?” Yang Wei said, making sure to use her alias instead of her real name as Yang Wei wasn’t sure if there are going to be others eavesdropping on them.

It was better to be safe than sorry when they were just ambushed by a group of guards for the Ling City.

Su Mingxia was playing around with the magical beasts who were cowering in fear of her dominance before being interrupted by Yang Wei.

She waved her hand to order the magical beasts to move aside as she headed over to Yang Wei and said, “What do you mean by a rock?”

“This rock.”

Yang Wei handed it over to Su Mingxia as she began to inspect the rock.

At first, Su Mingxia was laughing at Yang Wei’s overly cautiousness until she detected a very tiny bit of spiritual qi embedded in it.

It was near impossible to detect it if she didn’t decide to focus on her senses on the rock.

Su Mingxia sensed some abnormality in the rock as she concentrated more before turning solemn.

“Let’s leave now,” Su Mingxia then said as she crushed the rocks into pieces.

Afterward, she grabbed Yang Wei’s hand as she used her movement technique to leave quickly.

Yang Wei was too familiar with this kind of scenario as he grabbed her hand tightly and used his movement technique as well.

Sometime later, they arrived nearby a lake as Su Mingxia glanced backward and breathed a sigh of relief.

After checking around, Su Mingxia suddenly noticed her hand was still holding onto Yang Wei.

She blushed slightly as she quickly let go of his hand and turned around to avoid Yang Wei’s line of sight.

Yang Wei noticed her blushing as he curled his lips upward. ‘Hehe, since you have been teasing me this entire journey, it’s about time to do some payback.’

“Oh my, Tao Ai, are you blushing from our little hand contact?” Yang Wei suddenly said, causing Su Mingxia to shudder.

She clenched her fist in anger as she wasn’t dumb to not realize what kind of game Yang Wei was playing.

Thus, Su Mingxia quickly used her cultivation base to stabilize her emotion as she turned around and faced Yang Wei with a calm expression.

“Who is blushing? Are you still daydreaming?” Su Mingxia then said with a cheeky smile.

‘T-That’s cheating,’ Yang Wei screamed internally when he realized Su Mingxia was equally shameless as other people.

Meanwhile, Su Mingxia stuck her tongue out on Yang Wei, clearly boasting at him.

Her expression was showing that she would not be a naive little girl to fall for Yang Wei’s teasing.

Yang Wei twitched his mouth slightly before regaining his composure and Su Mingxia did the same.

Su Mingxia cast a barrier around them to block their sounds as she said, “That rock is a tracker and I doubt that Luo Xue was able to obtain it without a backer. After all, they managed to track our position and lay in ambush ahead of time.”

“Is it someone related to Ling City?”

Su Mingxia pondered for a moment before nodding her head. “That is most likely the case so we better hurry up our objective.”
