Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 110: Ride or Die

“No, absolutely impossible,” Yang Wei shouted as he was determined to stick with her until the end.

“There is no way I will leave you alone and ascend by myself.” Yang Wei added.

Elder Jing was rendered speechless by his outburst. ‘Sigh, this Yang Wei still doesn’t know how to weigh the pros and cons.’

“Listen up Yang Wei, I am using the identity of Sect Elder in the Feather Wind Sect as I order you to ascend by yourself.” Elder Jing glared at Yang Wei as she held a solemn expression.

Yang Wei clenched his fist tightly as abandoning his companion in this situation is something he could never do.

When Elder Jing saw Yang Wei remained still without any intention of moving, her heart started to waver.

Normally, in this sort of situation, anybody would choose to abandon the person who is deemed a burden and in this case, it was Elder Jing.

After all, she has reached her limits because the pressure upon her was at least 30 times more than Yang Wei because of her high cultivation base despite being restricted.

However, Yang Wei seemed to have become a tree as he was unmovable, almost like his feet became the root, stamped into the staircase.

Elder Jing twitched her brows slightly as she tried to push him upward but couldn’t muster any strength.

“Yang Wei, leave me already, the staircase below us is slowly disappearing,” Elder Jing said in a panic.

The staircase behind them only has 20 steps left while the rest of them have fallen into the void where they will become the next one to fall into the void if they don’t ascend further.

Yang Wei ignored her pleas as he lifted one of her arms and placed it around his shoulder.

Afterward, Yang Wei used his strength to support Elder Jing as he slowly took another step upward.

“Yang Wei, stop being stubborn and listen to my words,” Elder Jing tries to struggle away from Yang Wei’s grasp on her.

However, her strength seems to have no deterrence from Yang Wei’s resolution in bringing her with him.

‘Can I even be counted as a man if I leave the woman I love alone in a place where death can be possible for them?’ Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he kept walking up while lifting Elder Jing.

Sometime later, Yang Wei continued to ascend with Elder Jing and the staircase behind them continued to diminish into the void.

Sweats began trickling down Yang Wei’s forehead as he had to withstand the pressure on him and Elder Jing at the same time.

Elder Jing was silent the whole time as she no longer bothered pushing Yang Wei away.

‘Foolish brat, now you’re going to fall with me at this rate,’ Elder Jing cursed inwardly as she never imagined herself being the burden.

She didn’t want to drag Yang Wei down and wished he would have just abandoned her for his own safety.

In the cultivation world where every cultivator only cared about their own life, there is rarely anyone like Yang Wei left in this world.

Thus, she hated Yang Wei’s stubborn behavior but at the same time, admired him for being a true companion, one that will not leave them alone when the situation becomes dire.

Elder Jing turned her head around to look at how many stairs were left before it caught up with them where they would fall into the void.

Her complexion soon paled when there were only around 7 staircases left.

“Yang Wei, this is as far as you can help me,” Elder Jing said as she wiped his sweat slowly with her sleeves.

Afterward, she purposely used her true qi to fling away Yang Wei’s hand that was holding her hand.

Yang Wei was dumbfounded as he quickly tried to lift her up again to ascend but became flabbergasted when he saw Elder Jing’s eyes turned teary.

“E-Elder Jing?” Yang Wei said in a shocked tone.

Yang Wei quickly wiped some of the tears from Elder Jing with a disbelief expression. Never in his life would he imagine the headstrong and determined Elder Jing would be crying in front of him.

“Why are you tearing up, Elder Jing?” Yang Wei asked as he felt his heart tightening and his breathing became difficult.

Although he doesn’t understand the feelings he gets, Yang Wei understood this had to do something with Elder Jing’s sad emotion right now.

Elder Jing stared at Yang Wei deeply and started punching his chest lightly.

“Isn’t this all your fault? I have told you numerous times to leave me already because I don’t want to be a burden.” Elder Jing pouted as she tried her hardest to keep the tears in her eyes.

‘I don’t want the same to happen to my elder sister from back then. Why can’t they just leave me alone to live for themselves?’ Elder Jing cried inwardly as she recalled her elder sister’s death because of her.

Yang Wei saw her saddening mood becoming worse as he knelt down and embraced Elder Jing tightly.

Afterward, Yang Wei started rubbing her back in hopes of calming her emotion down.

“Elder Jing, you should know by now about my personality.” Yang Wei spoke softly as he continued.

“Therefore, no matter how dire the situation is… there is never a chance for me to abandon my companion.”

“You said that but didn’t you act like you could care less about your fellow sect disciples during the time when they were cornered by the Purple Scorpion Sect.” Elder Jing replied swiftly to deny his words.

Yang Wei chuckled softly as he nodded his head. Indeed, he showed zero care for them because they were only fellow sect disciples and none of them were close to him.

Hence, there wasn’t a logical reason for him to risk his life for them.

However, Elder Jing is different. Without Elder Jing, Yang Wei doubted he would ever be able to have a chance in becoming a prominent cultivator.

“Based on our relationship ever since our first meeting, we are now in a ride or die relationship where none of us are willing to abandon each other.” Yang Wei smiled at Elder Jing.
