"The egg is still emitting some cold air despite your usage of the Heaven Devouring Abyss." Yang Wei mumbled.
"That's obvious." Zhu Wenqian laughed as she stood next to Yang Wei.
"This is an Ice Egg and I can't help but say your luck is truly heaven-defying." She added.
Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.
"Why?" Yang Wei asked.
He doesn't see anything special regarding the Ice Egg except for the fact that it emits a really cold temperature that could change the environment.
.
Zhu Wenqian heaved a soft sigh as she forgot Yang Wei doesn't have much knowledge.
"I'm still surprised you managed to survive the harsh cultivation world." Zhu Wenqian teased.
"Or maybe it's because of your superficial knowledge that you are always cautious and suspicious of things when exploring."
Yang Wei twitched his mouth.
"Being cautious and suspicious of things does not equal ignorance." Yang Wei clarified.
Zhu Wenqian shrugged her shoulders.
"Whatever, the Ice Egg is basically like what you humans always referred to as exotic and only appears in a thousand years or even more." Zhu Wenqian said as she mocked humans and their ways of describing things.
Afterward, she started drooling in saliva as she glared intensely at the Ice Egg.
"Are you serious right now?" Yang Wei was dumbfounded that she was looking at the Ice Egg like some sort of heavenly food.
Zhu Wenqian wiped off her saliva as she pouted in anger. "What? Is it wrong for a queen to be eager in wanting to eat something exotic?"
Suddenly, the temperature began to change and it was coming off from the Ice Egg.
"Quick, use your Heaven Devouring Abyss again. It might have lost its effect." Yang Wei warned.
Zhu Wenqian nodded her head.
She then retrieved her Heaven Devouring Abyss and tried to absorb the cold temperature.
Alas, it was futile as the cold temperature continued to emit out faster than the Heaven Devouring Abyss could absorb.
"What the heck?" Zhu Wenqian cried aloud when she realized her Celestial Rank item was failing for the first time.
"What is wrong with this Ice Egg?" She cursed.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei took a step back away from Zhu Wenqian.
"Um, Zhu Wenqian, I think you should apologize for wanting to eat the Ice Egg." Yang Wei slowly said as he made sure to keep his distance from Zhu Wenqian.
Zhu Wenqian started shivering as she realized it was only her that was feeling the extreme cold temperature.
"Y-Yang Wei, help me." Zhu Wenqian begged. "It's so cold and I feel like my skin is turning into an ice statue.
"Apologize to the Ice Egg, Zhu Wenqian. I think the Ice Egg has its own conscience and was enraged by your previous words." Yang Wei shouted.
Zhu Wenqian nodded.
Biting her lips softly, Zhu Wenqian apologized for trying to eat the Ice Egg and promised to never think about eating it ever again.
Suddenly, the cold temperature subsided and Zhu Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Unbelievable… there's actually a conscience in this Ice Egg." Zhu Wenqian muttered as she dash behind Yang Wei, clearly afraid of the Ice Egg.
After all, her Celestial Rank item couldn't even defeat the Ice Egg, which means that it was a dangerous creature.
"Yang Wei, we should leave now and let the Ice Egg continue to habitat here." Zhu Wenqian tugged on Yang Wei's sleeve as she suggested leaving.
Yang Wei shook his head.
"If we just leave right now then aren't we just wasting our time and back to square one?" Yang Wei said.
"Since the Ice Egg has a conscience of its own, then we could probably make a deal with it." He added.
"What are you even talking about?" Zhu Wenqian raised her eyebrow in anger. "We should be glad that the Ice Egg isn't trying to kill us now since even my Heaven Devouring Abyss is useless against it."
She had lost all of her confidence since her trump card was utterly defeated.
Thus, she didn't wish nor dare to linger in the room any longer.
"Aren't you pretty feisty before?" Yang Wei teased as he cupped his fist toward the Ice Egg.
"Ice Egg, please excuse our intrusion to your peace but we needed to find a way to escape from the Killer Bees." Yang Wei then said politely.
The Killer Bees weren't hovering in the sky around this area was thanks to the Ice Egg's presence, and the cold temperature it emitted.
With the Ice Egg's assistance, Yang Wei could reassure their safety in this unknown place that they were thrown into by the Anguished Fog.
Yang Wei continued to spend the next few minutes talking with the Ice Egg.
Although the Ice Egg hadn't replied nor given any signal, Yang Wei was sure it could understand his language.
"What can we do to get your assistance?" Yang Wei asked the Ice Egg.
"Stop chatting with it already, yang Wei." Zhu Wenqian tried to pull Yang Wei back.
"It's clearly unwilling to assist us so we should just leave before it turns angry again." She added.
Yang Wei tried to converse for another few more minutes before shaking his head.
"Since the Ice Egg doesn't wish to help us then we could only find another way." Yang Wei sighed softly as he turned around and prepared to leave the room.
Secretly though, Yang Wei was hoping the Ice Egg would have a change of mind before he stepped away.
Alas, the Ice Egg had no intention of making any deal with Yang Wei.
'Sigh, this is a wasted journey.' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he proceeded to exit the passage with Zhu Wenqian.
Without the assistance of the Ice Egg, Yang Wei could only try to use his spiritual perception in his surroundings to find another way to leave this area.
By the time Yang Wei got outside from the Waterfall passage, he noticed it was about to be afternoon.
"Let's head back to the cliff and ponder our next step." Yang Wei said and activated his movement technique.
