The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 347 The Red Mansion (4)

Ji Yuan took a step back from Yun Chi as he said bitterly, "I don't know her at all…"

Many of the cultivators interrupted with a mocking laughter, "He can really lie his way through. We saw them together and they are even laughing together."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Many of the same cultivators had an envious look when they saw Yun Chi talking to him earlier.

When Yun Chi had left Ji Yuan's company, she was even smiling pleasantly; this caused many of the cultivators to think that they had a big hit with each other. This further invoked their irk for Ji Yuan.

Gong Xiaotian said even more coldly, "You don't know her? What a coward. I saw the two of you earlier!"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan was frowning immediately. It was because he had suddenly realized that Gong Xiaotian had picked on him for another reason.

A woman can often cause hot blooded men to fight with one another for her attention.

And Ji Yuan was right; Yun Chi had indeed given Gong Xiaotian the cold shoulder when he had approached her earlier and he had witnessed her talking to Ji Yuan in an amicable manner.

"Xiang Li, do you know what I'm thinking?" Ji Yuan asked Xiang Li inside his soul sea.

"Why did you only ask Xiang Li? Am I not your spirit consort too?" Fairy Anyang said coldly.

"Haha. I've almost forget that you can also hear me in my soul sea now. That of course includes my Consort Anyang too." Ji Yuan laughed weakly.

He still had not gonna used to having Fairy Anyang presence in his soul sea until now. After all, he was used to murmur to Xiang Li in his soul sea even though half of the time Xiang Li was either sleeping or MIA.

Why did he have to force Fairy Anyang to be his Spirit Consort?

Because he wanted her to keep his secrets tightly within the three of them or else his manly pride would be screwed.

"Erm, Big Brother. Are you thinking that this Master Gong Xiaotian is just a bitter love rival?" Xiang Li giggled as she answered Ji Yuan.

"Not a bitter love rival. He is just an envious man that can't even get his woman." Ji Yuan chuckled.

"So, how are you going to settle this? Need my help?" Fairy Anyang smiled. "I am obligated to help my lord, naturally."

Ji Yuan laughed jovially in his soul sea, "Do I look like I need any help? Watch me!"

Fairy Anyang and Xiang Li rolled their eyes as they looked at each other; they had no idea if Ji Yuan was just saying this to them because it serves to bolster his manly pride or because he really had a good idea.

Their lord was sometimes too unpredictable even by their spirit standards.

Ji Yuan laughed aloud all of a sudden, startling all the cultivators, including the maidens in his party. "Haha, Master Gong. I've finally got your attention now."

Gong Xiaotian: ???

Ji Yuan grinned, "A woman is like a piece of clothing. If you want Maiden Yun Chi to be your own, I can give her to you."

Gong Xiaotian: …

Yun Chi: …

Everyone: …

Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue were all thinking the same thing; I'm going to hit Ji Yuan later. What does he mean by a woman is like a piece of clothing…

Ji Yuan continued, "As for your leadership, I've no doubt about it."

Then he pointed at the cultivator that had first mocked Gong Xiaotian, "As for him over there, I'm actually thinking of helping Brother Gong to teach him a lesson. Do you mind at all?"

In a split second, Ji Yuan had quickly diverted the focus of attention from himself to the other cultivator.

"Hmph!" The cultivator that was now at the center of the attention hummed coldly, "Who do you think you are that you think that you can teach me a lesson? Do you know who I am and my status in my celestial fraternity?"

With a sudden flash of light, Ji Yuan had waved his hand and two superior divine swords had suddenly flashed into the ground in front of everyone.

Almost all the cultivators had dropped their jaws when they saw one saintly-step divine sword and one immortal-step divine sword in front of them…

Just when many of them were thinking that this Ji Yuan was not able to wield two superior divine swords, he had suddenly lifted both superior divine swords into his hands as he exclaimed loudly, "Try me then!"

Many of the cultivators, including Gong Xiaotian almost dropped their jaws again; it was because even a celestial-step divine sword is extremely difficult to wield with just profound strength alone and merely lifting it will reveal the full profound strength of the cultivator.

At this moment they can all see that Ji Yuan is a peaked great saint.

Just as they were all looking with disbelief, they were further startled to see that there were two divine halo on both of Ji Yuan's divine swords.

He had a perfect divine harmony with both divine swords!

Even the maidens in Ji Yuan's party were startled; they had never known that Ji Yuan had a perfect divine harmony with his immortal-step divine sword. Didn't he say he will give this immortal-step divine sword to Qianxue?

Ji Yuan had actually achieved a second divine halo on his immortal-step divine sword after he had taken Fairy Anyang as his spirit consort.

Xiang Li was giggling to Fairy Anyang, "So you've decided to be fully bonded with him now?"

Fairy Anyang looked shyly away, "I don't want him to die or I'll be screwed. That's all."

Many of the cultivators were muttering with shock;

"Even a divine halo is something to be celebrated and it will take a lifetime to achieve…"

"He has a double divine harmony…"

"And on both divine swords…"

"I can't believe that he has the profound strength to lift two divine swords…"

"His profound strength must be insane…"

"Is he also a power cultivator?"

Actually Ji Yuan's profound strength was not as strong as these cultivators had thought; he had first divine harmonized with his divine sword before it got evolved into a superior divine sword. So it was not as taxing to his profound strength as compared to the others.

As for his current immortal-step sword, when he had first got it, he had also divine harmonized with it.

But even then, this was not enough but Ji Yuan had the profound strength of his sword spirit to aid him to wield his saintly divine sword and his immortal-step divine sword. Moreover he had two sword spirits to do the heavy lifting for him now.

But all the other cultivators would not know because they were all thinking along a straight line. They were all thinking if they could obtain a saint-step divine sword, how long must they meditate upon it before they could even divine harmonized with their divine swords?

In the Celestial Realm, even a great saint cultivator may find it extremely difficult to wield a celestial-step divine sword.

There were many stories of many celestial clans that had a divine sword but because they lacked the profound strength to wield it, they had to keep it hidden and even had to spend centuries and even thousands of years to ponder over it, hoping that they may one day be able to divine harmony with it.

Even a heaven-step divine sword will require a cultivator to be a saint first before they have the profound strength to wield it.

The only way for these requirements to be lowered down are several; either the cultivator has a sword spirit to aid them or they have reached oneness with their swords. However only the sword cultivators and sword saints have a higher chance to reach oneness with their swords.

But no matter if Ji Yuan was a Sword Saint or a Power Cultivator, none of the cultivators that were presented were willing to provoke him now, especially when he also had a dangerous looking golden robe on him.

The same cultivator that had just insulted Ji Yuan panicky said, "Actually Brother Ji Yuan, I didn't say that I didn't believe that you're the greatest hero here. I actually believe that you are! Haha."

Ji Yuan frowned; he has not even displayed his two sword spirits yet and this cultivator is already conceding?

Many of the cultivators were now laughing jovially, "Great Hero Ji Yuan, we've never doubt you in the first place!"

These cultivators were the ones that were mocking Ji Yuan earlier and they were now pretending that the incident earlier had never happened before.

Many of them were already considering Ji Yuan to be more powerful than Gong Xiaotian now.

But Ji Yuan grinned, "Whoever disagree that Brother Gong should be the leader has to first get past my swords first."

Many of the cultivators were cheering for Ji Yuan now, especially the cultivators from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity and the Golden Majesty Celestial Empire.

Many of the cultivators from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity had never seen Ji Yuan before but when they had suddenly heard that he was the beardless Ji Yuan, they were quite startled; even though they had never seen him before but they had heard of his exploits before.

Many of the proud female cultivators were suddenly smiling in the direction of Ji Yuan.

Gong Xiaotian weakly said, "Brother Ji Yuan is too humble. The two of us are actually co-leaders."

Then he said fiercely to all the cultivators, "Anyone that wants to have a different opinion can voice out now."

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "Yea!"

"I have something to say." Yun Chi had suddenly chuckled.

Ji Yuan: …

This maiden has a most dangerous mouth…

Gong Xiaotian asked curiously, "You want to have a second opinion?"

Yun Chi smiled pleasantly, "I am just curious if I can be a co-leader as well?"

Ji Yuan, Gong Xiaotian and everyone: …

Gong Xiaotian was thinking that since this Yun Chi was a friend of Ji Yuan so he had better let him decide. "As long as Brother Ji Yuan does not disagree, why not?"

The last thing that he wanted was any troubles that could screw his chances of obtaining the Fallen Gods Relic.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan was actually a little afraid of this Yun Chi after witnessing her pleasant words that he decided that he had better not provoke her anymore.

So he smiled weakly to say, "Why not?"

Yun Chi laughed softly, "But I'm not as strong as a cultivator as the two of you. Other than my beautiful look, I've nothing to contribute as a leader."

Gong Xiaotian, Ji Yuan: …

This Yun Chi is purposely setting them a difficult question, the two of them are both thinking at the same time.

Many of the male cultivators were laughing quietly as they murmured softly; we don't mind a beautiful vase as a leader at all…

Ji Yuan and Gong Xiaotian were both looking at each other, not knowing how to answer her and at the same time they would be able to preserve their manly prides in front of these hundreds of cultivators.

If they allow a weaker cultivator like Yun Chi to assume the leadership role then they may have a riot in their hands and these cultivators are not weak at all. If Yun Chi can be a leader, why not the rest?

But all of a sudden Ji Yuan chuckled loudly, "Anyone that is here won't be a weak cultivator. Since Maiden Yun Chi wants to be a co-leader, Brother Gong and I naturally won't oppose it. But we need to be fair to all the cultivators here. You can challenge Maiden Yun Chi to a duel if you want to be a co-leader."

Yun Chi: …

Ji Yuan was laughing silently; he had decided to be mean and today he was not going to be a gentleman of the sword.

Screw her!

Even Gong Xiaotian was stunned by Ji Yuan's suggestion as he thought; aren't they friends?

Yun Chi smiled pleasantly as she quietly put her fingers onto her upper face mask, "I do agree with Great Hero Ji Yuan here. This sounds fair…"

With her deft fingers, she had removed her mask and all the cultivators, including Ji Yuan were blinking their golden eyes with great astonishment.

It was not because she was ugly but on the contrary, she was very beautiful, very beautiful. Much beautiful than everyone had thought.

All the cultivators could tell that this Maiden Yun Chi was a really attractive maiden, with beautiful rosy small lips and dedicated facial features.

But when they saw her peerless look now, they were all blown away by her breathtaking demeanor; she looked perfect in many ways.

Many of the cultivators had seen many beautiful maidens before but this Yun Chi was like an alluring vixen that could charm everyone by her subtle expressions in her eyes and smiles alone.

Her beautiful golden eyes had a hidden alluring smile and everyone was seemingly drawn to her golden eyes.

When Ji Yuan saw her peerless looks, half of his rage against her vaporized and he was feeling a little regretful that he was now screwing her in front of the others.

Xiang Li giggled shyly, "Big Brother, so are you going to bring her into the harem?"

But Ji Yuan did not reply to Xiang Li because he was so drawn by Yun Chi's enticing looks that he was admiring her instead.

Yun Chi smiled pleasantly, "So do I have a challenger? I am definitely not a strong cultivator at all. Rather, I hope to contribute to our group in other ways…"

Many of the male cultivators, including Ji Yuan were thinking; maybe you can contribute to us in the bed chamber…

Actually Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi had almost stepped out to teach this Yun Chi a lesson but when they had heard her saying that she was hoping to contribute to the group, they had second thoughts; the last thing that they had wanted was to contribute to the group other than to their own party.

Moreover the shimmering red portal was about to be fully opened.

Ji Yuan had almost panicked when he suddenly saw that Qianfeng and Sisi had stepped lightly forward and were about to remove their curtain veils to fight Yun Chi.

Luckily for him, they seemed to stop in the nick of time or else this would soon turn into a battle of the three peerless maidens.

When Gong Xiaotian saw the muted silence, he laughed weakly. "Then it is decided then. Maiden Yun Chi shall be our third co-leader."

Then he quickly said, "The portal is now opened. We should go inside now. Remember that we are a group!"

All the cultivators nodded as they took a second glance at Yun Chi who maintained her pleasant smiles as she gracefully put back her upper face mask.

Before she had fully worn back her mask, she took a smiling second glance at Ji Yuan. "I've told you that we will be in the same party."

Ji Yuan scratched his face, not knowing what to say…

There were several cold humming sounds behind him and he knew that it was made by Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Yu Jingjing and he could even hear Feng Minyue humming softly!

He protested weakly, "I didn't exactly want to invite her into our party, you know. This situation is a little unexpected to me. We're all here to take the trial. There is no need to be bothered by her…"

Wait a minute! Why am I defending her now?

It was not only Ji Yuan but many of the male cultivators also had second thoughts about humiliating Yun Chi earlier.

They had all thought of humiliating her and to teach her a mean lesson but somewhat, they were all seemingly charmed by her pleasant words and they could not bring themselves to step forward to challenge her lest they become a public enemy of everyone in the group.

Yun Chi smiled to Ji Yuan, "So shall we enter the portal together?"

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Why not?"

Fairy Anyang sighed to Xiang Li, "These men are always thinking with their lower bodies."

Xiang Li giggled, "Me too."

Fairy Anyang: …
