Chapter 340 - Assimilate
"What do you want?" Zhu Wenqian snorted coldly as she glanced at Yang Wei.
He could be seen panting heavily as he was chasing after Zhu Wenqian.
'Just how the heck did she walk that quickly?' Yang Wei cried inwardly.
He could barely catch up to her while activating his movement technique.
Thus, he wondered if she was truly a sick patient or pretending to be one.
Yang Wei took a few deep breaths before staring at Zhu Wenqian.
"You can stop jestering me already." He said.
Zhu Wenqian shrugged her shoulders and showed a confused expression.
"Jestering? What's that? I don't even know what you want from me." Zhu Wenqian said.
"..."
Seeing how the situation wasn't in his favor, Yang Wei decided to go through his storage ring for a few moments.
Afterward, he took out 3 mature Dragon Soul Grass as he waved it around.
"Well, then I guess these mature Dragon Soul Grass is useless as well." Yang Wei smirked evilly.
"Maybe I should burn these Dragon Soul Grass up in a furnace." He added.
Zhu Wenqian's face instantly turned ashen white as she tried to snatch the Dragon Soul Grass away from him.
However, Yang Wei had already expected such a move from her.
"Heh, did you really think I would be this careless?" Yang Wei teased as he narrowly dodged her advance.
Zhu Wenqian gnashed her teeth in anger when she could see his cheeky expression.
"You're a vile and shameless man for doing that to a fine lady." Zhu Wenqian said.
Yang Wei nodded his head.
"Thanks for the compliment. If I'm not shameless or vile enough in this ruthless cultivation world, then I'll be long dead in some wilderness." He said.
Zhu Wenqian clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.
"Tch, whatever." She said and turned around as she began heading toward the direction of her room.
"It's not convenient to do the trade here." She added.
Yang Wei nodded his head.
He then proceeded to follow Zhu Wenqian to her room.
Sometime later, Zhu Wenqian sat on the bed in a lotus position as she glanced at Yang Wei.
"Set up a formation to prevent any unnecessary sound from interrupting us." She instructed.
Yang Wei didn't say anything else as he quickly retrieved multiple talismans and placed them all around the room.
After that, he stepped into the center position of the room as his eyes flickered in a blue light.
"Formation activated," Yang Wei shouted as slammed the ground, activating the previously placed talisman.
With a swooshing sound, a large and translucent barrier was created.
Zhu Wenqian inspected the barrier for a few moments before nodding her head.
"Although the formation is a bit lacking… It should be good enough." She said in a calm voice.
Yang Wei twitched his mouth.
'Wouldn't it be better if you had set up the formation instead?' He thought.
"Anyway, come and sit in front of me." Zhu Wenqian waved her hand as she ordered.
"Don't even think about doing dirty things to me." She warned.
Yang Wei rolled his eyes on her.
"You can rest assured. Your appearance does not arouse my sexual desire at all." Yang Wei teased as he sat down with his back facing her.
"Hmph, 9 out of 10 men spout that kind of nonsense. But when it really comes down to their sexual desire, none of them can resist the temptation." Zhu Wenqian snorted coldly.
Yang Wei was rendered speechless by her words.
After all, her words weren't wrong, and it does seem to be the case for every male being out there.
He had seen those types of men in his previous life and in this current life as well.
Thus, Yang Wei couldn't rebuke her words.
"Sigh, you aren't wrong, but I hope you can at least exclude me from the list… I have two women already." Yang Wei said awkwardly.
Suddenly, he felt a cold sensation emitting from behind, and before he could even do anything.
His head was smacked ruthlessly by Zhu Wenqian.
"Hmph, I knew it. You men could never stick your thing into one woman." Zhu Wenqian scolded.
"It's always a goddamn harem and nothing new." She added.
The atmosphere became insanely awkward as Yang Wei had nothing left to say to respond to her.
After all, he was exactly what she had described- a scoundrel that had multiple women in his embrace.
"A-Anyway… we're not here to discuss some love life or morality, right? We're here to talk about the exchange of the Saint Blood and the Dragon Soul Grass right…" Yang Wei smiled awkwardly.
He wished to change the topic as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would continue to be at a disadvantage with the scolding of Zhu Wenqian.
Yang Wei didn't wish to continue with the topic since her words were similar to an arrow piercing through his heart.
Although a bit disappointed at Yang Wei's conduct, Zhu Wenqian sighed softly as she shook her head.
"Whatever then, just remember, my opinion of you has dropped down completely." She said and snapped her finger.
With the snap, Yang Wei could feel the temperature in the room turn up.
It was almost like he was sitting in a volcano that was about to erupt into magma.
Beads of sweat began trickling down his forehead.
"H-Hot…" Yang Wei mumbled as he wiped some of his sweat off with his sleeve.
"Heh, just some heat, and you're already sweating like a pig. How else are you going to assimilate with the Saint Blood if you're struggling now." Zhu Wenqian laughed as she questioned his capability.
"A-Assimilate?"
Yang Wei raised an eyebrow as he was confused by her meaning.
Zhu Wenqian sighed as she knew he was clueless about this part too.
"Yang Wei… I swear you are beyond ignorant at this point."
"..."
"Did you really think Saint Blood is something that appears naturally in your body or something? Of course, you have to swallow the Saint Blood and assimilate it into your body."
Zhu Wenqian showed a hopeless expression at Yang Wei as she finished explaining.
