“Well, you were quite accurate with your guess.”
Pei Jing couldn’t sleep in the well. The thought of the snake being there with him made him shudder. Dealing with it wouldn’t take long, but Pei Jing didn’t want to look or touch it. Leaning against the well’s wall, he gazed at the sky and thought, “Does this incident on his first day pretending to be a new disciple already a sign of the hardships he would face in the future?”
World of Cultivation Chapter 7
Feeling bored, he decided to close his eyes and relax.
Finally, the sky became bright.
Yinghui Peak got its name because it was the first peak in all of Yunxiao to welcome the morning sun. A single line of red light illuminated the world. The vibrant colors of the sunrise looked beautiful, like rouge spread across a painting, as seen from the narrow perspective of the well.
Pei Jing endured a boring night and could finally wake up Chu Junyu confidently.
He turned to the side and grabbed Chu Junyu’s sleeve, giving it a few tugs. “Wake up, wake up, it’s morning now. Don’t sleep anymore.”
Chu Junyu slowly opened his eyes, calmly looking at Pei Jing. His eyes were clear, without any confusion, as if he hadn’t slept at all.
Pei Jing was surprised. “Did you wake up early?”
Chu Junyu sat up. “You woke me up.”
Pei Jing responded, “That’s not true, I didn’t make any noise.”
Chu Junyu pursed his lips and remained silent.
The morning had arrived, and the scene inside the well became visible.
Pei Jing turned his head, his gaze freezing as he discovered something astonishing. In the corner of the well, he noticed that the coiled venomous snake had died without his knowledge. Its body was twisted, inch by inch, suggesting it had experienced great pain and struggled before its demise. The snake’s head was turned upward, with blood-red vertical pupils.
However, he had a fear of snakes, and seeing the lifeless snake’s body intensified his discomfort. It sent shivers down his spine, and with a single glance, Pei Jing felt a wave of nausea. Without thinking, he instinctively clutched Chu Junyu’s sleeve, seeking refuge behind him.
Chu Junyu lowered his head, briefly glancing the hand resting on his sleeve, then shifted his gaze to the unfortunate dead snake.
Pei Jing couldn’t hide his genuine frustration. “Why do they have to die in such repulsive ways?”
Chu Junyu responded, “Why are you even afraid of dead snakes?”
Pei Jing stumbled over his words, “I’m not scared, I’m just disgusted.”
Chu Junyu smirked, “Is that so?”
“Yes, it is so.”
Yinghui Peak had strict regulations, and new disciples had to stay there for a full year before being allowed to join other peaks. During morning sessions, attendance was taken, and if the management noticed their absence, they would certainly send someone to find them. For a Golden Core cultivator to locate two Qi Gathering disciples within a single mountain peak would be an effortless task.
