Primordial Cultivator

"Whatever you say then…" Zhu Wenqian shrugged her shoulders.

Yang Wei was now like an angry child that had suffered a defeat he could not handle.

However, he was still calm and rational since chess isn't a game that could be played with a clouded mindset.

"Don't even try to go easy on me, Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei warned as he waited for Zhu Wenqian to go first.

Zhu Wenqian nodded her head.

"Don't blame me when I destroy you thoroughly." Zhu Wenqian teased as she made her first move.

Time slowly passed by and inside the cliff, it was completely silent besides the chess pieces being moved around on the chessboard.

As Yang Wei and Zhu Wenqian continued to take each other's chess pieces, the game started to go late-game.

However, Yang Wei was at a clear disadvantage by the amount of sweat trickling down his forehead.

In sharp contrast though, Zhu Wenqian was extremely casual and didn't even sit properly in her seat.

Yang Wei wiped some off his sweat with his sleeve as he struggled to make another move.

"What are you waiting for, Yang Wei?" Zhu Wenqian asked in a slightly teasing tone.

Yang Wei heaved a defeated sigh as he stopped and lowered his chess piece down.

He then raised his hand up and opened his mouth, "It's my loss… you have won already."

Today was the day he had suffered a miserable defeat at the hands of Zhu Wenqian. It was so bad that he still couldn't see himself beating Zhu Wenqian anytime soon.

Zhu Wenqian chuckled softly when Yang Wei still had the guts to admit his defeat.

"At least you aren't some sore loser and understand when a loss is a loss." Zhu Wenqian said to coax his feelings.

Yang Wei sighed softly as he glanced at Zhu Wenqian.

"Your behavior and attitude are a sharp contrast compared to your true intelligence." Yang Wei said as he admitted she was more intelligent than him.

Chess is the greatest game to determine who's smarter as it's the only game that players can't cheat in.

After all, the only way to win in chess is by using your brain and foresight to determine the next play.

"Hehe, Yang Wei, have you forgotten our little bet?" Zhu Wenqian suddenly said.

She didn't care about beating Yang Wei in the chess game at all.

She only had one thing in mind, and that was to taste the tender meat of the Jagged Tiger.

Thus, Zhu Wenqian quickly retrieved the Jagged Tiger's corpse as she urged Yang Wei to quickly cook her a decent meal.

"You better not cook it half-heartedly and I only want to taste the best part of the meat." Zhu Wenqian warned.

Yang Wei nodded his head.

"Fret not, I'm not the type to renege on the bet so you don't have to warn or remind me." Yang Wei said as he stood up and approached the Jagged Tiger's corpse.

Sometime later, Yang Wei started dissecting the Jagged Tiger's corpse and grabbed the best part of the meat.

After that, Yang Wei began seasoning the meat while Zhu Wenqian sat on the sideline with a drooling expression.

"How do you want the meat to be cooked?" Yang Wei suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Zhu Wenqian raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by how I want it to be cooked?"

"There are many different ways on how to cook the meat…" Yang Wei said.

"Depending on the person, the meat's temperature could alter to their preference." He added.

"Really?" Zhu Wenqian was surprised as she never realized there were multiple kinds of temperatures for the meat.

"I never knew that since the chef would always cook for me while I'll just be waiting at the dinner table."

"…"

Yang Wei was rendered speechless.

'As expected of a self-proclaimed queen.' Yang Wei said silently as he nodded his head and proceeded to explain the different types of temperature for her.

"For this type of meat, we can cook it as rare, medium-rare, medium, medium-well, and well done." Yang Wei said.

Zhu Wenqian pondered for a moment before shaking her head.

"What's the best temperature for the meat in your opinion?" Zhu Wenqian

asked.

Yang Wei rubbed his chin slightly as he decided to go for the most popular temperature back on Earth.

"If I have to say the best temperature for the meat, it'll be medium-rare since the meat would be more juicy and flavorful." Yang Wei answered.

Zhu Wenqian clasped her hand as she shouted, "Then medium-rare it is, and if the meat isn't flavorful or juicy as you said, then don't blame this queen for being impolite."

Yang Wei nodded his head.

Time slowly passed by and a rich aroma could be smelled throughout the cliff.

Zhu Wenqian sniffed on the rich aroma multiple times with a blissful expression.

"Ahh~ Yang Wei might be trash on chess but he does have a knack for cooking some delicious food." Zhu Wenqian said.

She was complimenting and dissing Yang Wei at the same time, causing him to be baffled on how to respond to her words.

"Just sit still and stay silent please." Yang Wei said as he continued cooking the Jagged Tiger's meat.

"Tch, aren't you just being petty and mad about losing to this queen in terms of intelligence?" Zhu Wenqian sneered as she continued to brag about how she easily defeated Yang Wei.

Knowing her personality, Yang Wei stopped arguing with her and focused on finishing the cooking.

Sometime later, Yang Wei placed the medium-rare meat on a plate and brought it to her.

"Here's your medium-rare Jagged Tiger's meat, queen." Yang Wei said, acting like a waiter in a fine-dining restaurant.

Zhu Wenqian curled her lips upward as she grinned at the meat on her plate that was oozing out juices and emitted a rich fragrance.

However, she became dumbfounded when there was only her plate of meat and Yang Wei had nothing.

"Where's your plate?" Zhu Wenqian asked.

Yang Wei smiled slightly at her.

"You may not have noticed but 6 hours have already passed and it's time for me to pay my second visit to the Ice Egg."
