The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 349 Greed Isle (2)

Gong Xiaotian gave the instructions to form the green faction into ten teams of around thirty cultivators or more.

He explained, "We should stay in close proximity to one another but we cannot stick too close in case there is a mishap."

Even though Ji Yuan was a co-leader but he was happy to let Gong Xiaotian gave the instructions since he actually knew nothing about the trial or any useful strategies for this trial."

The same goes for Yun Chi as well.

Gong Xiaotian said coolly, "Then we can draw lots to quickly form the teams. Ji Yuan's team shall be the 10th team and the rest of us should ensure that we can safely protect him until the very end…"

"Brother Gong." Ji Yuan chuckled. "I've a request."

Gong Xiaotian looked into Ji Yuan's direction: ???

Ji Yuan pointed at Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Feng Minyue and Yu Jingjing before saying. "My friends here and I are one team."

He did not want to tell anyone that some of them are actually his consorts lest the cultivators would suspect that he has a cheat.

Since Gong Xiaotian did not want to offend Ji Yuan and this was a reasonable request, he quickly smiled. "Alright then."

"I'll like to be in the same team as Great Hero Ji Yuan too." Yun Chi smiled pleasantly.

Gong Xiaotian: ..

Ji Yuan: …

Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Feng Minyue and Yu Jingjing: …

Ji Yuan was about to protest when he had suddenly remembered that this Yun Chi had a sharp tongue and it may backfire on him like in their previous rounds of verbal exchanges.

Eager to start on the trial and also because he did not want any further delays, he decided to keep his mouth shut.

Someone has to go keep a close eye on the beautiful butt of this Yun Chi and Ji Yuan has decided that the man will be him instead.

Yeah, that's right. He had decided.

Even Xiang Li seemed to be echoing his thoughts by giggling, "Since she wants to be in the same team as Big Brother, we can keep a close eye on her. It is better to have an enemy within reach than in the darkness."

Ji Yuan chuckled loudly in his soul sea, "Xiang Li, well said! This is my exact sentiments too!"

Fairy Anyang muttered, "Both of you are…lame."

Gong Xiaotian slowly said, "Since co-leader Maiden Yun Chi has said so, so let it be then…"

"Wait a minute!" A bearded cultivator had suddenly stepped forward and he had an ugly look on his face.

Gong Xiaotian frowned, "What is it? Are you not happy with my decision?"

All three hundred cultivators here have a lofty status in their celestial fraternities and are all cultivators with pride. Therefore Gong Xiaotian knew that they would be constantly interrupting and questioning his decisions. He had already seen quite a lot in his previous three attempts.

And he knew this bearded cultivator as Saint Ximen Wudi and they had fought in the same team as well as on the opposing side previously.

This Ximen Wudi is definitely not a pushover and he is also a powerful cultivator as well.

Ximen Wudi said mightily, "I want to be in Team 10 as well."

He was already looking lecherously at Yun Chi and the six maidens that were with Ji Yuan, "I hope that Saint Gong Xiaotian will be able to grant my request!"

When he had said that, he had actually opened the inner floodgates of the many cultivators presented;

"I want to be in Team 10 as well!"

"It will be our pleasure to travel with so many beauties and see what they look like behind their curtain veils…"

"Let me join Team 10 as well…"

"Hey, I've said it first…"

All of a sudden half of the cultivators were all shouting madly at one another and the situation was almost out of control; swords were being drawn now and furious profound animus were being displayed…

Ji Yuan was blinking his golden eyes…

What the heck had just happen?

Are they all trying to green me?!

Yun Chi saw his expressions and said in a low voice, "Can't you see? They…"

"You want to say that they want to join my team because of your charms?" Ji Yuan interrupted unhappily.

He had already known what Yun Chi was about to say because this was a common line that the maidens like to use.

Yun Chi chuckled softly, "You are such a lewd fellow for saying that. You may look honest but your eyes are not honest at all."

Ji Yuan: …

He frowned, "You can eat the wrong food but you can't say the wrong wrongs. In what way am I lewd? And I always have honest eyes."

When Ling Feiyue and the other maidens in his party had heard him, they were all rolling their eyes…

Ji Yuan never got any honest eyes…

"I actually want to say that these men all want to join your team because it is the safest team. All the other teams have to protect Team 10 and that is the reason why I'm joining your team because I am such a vulnerable maiden." Yun Chi giggled softly.

Ji Yuan laughed weakly; he had completely misunderstood the situation because he had a green tunnel vision.

So all these cultivators were all fighting to get into Team 10 because they were all trying to take lesser risks.

Now this makes sense.

All the other teams have to support Team 10 in order to reach the stone page in the middle of the Greed Island. Therefore it makes sense that only Team 10 has the highest odds in reaching the final destination.

All of a sudden Ji Yuan was shouting loudly, "Silence everyone!"

All the cultivators were now looking at Ji Yuan with a perplexed look and the commotions had died all of a sudden.

Seeing that he had got the attention of all the cultivators, he said coldly. "You can only join Team 10 only if you're a weak and vulnerable maiden."

Then he grinned mockingly, "Or unless you're just a eunuch without any traces of manly pride and is a beta cultivator."

All of a sudden all the men kept quiet because none of them wanted to admit that they were beta cultivators. In their proud hearts, they were all the alpha cultivators instead.

Seeing the deadly silence, Gong Xiaotian said. "It is decided then that only the maidens will have a chance to draw lots to join Team 10. If you're a man then you will be in the vanguard team."

Ji Yuan turned to grin at Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue.

He was already prepared to be receiving praises from them from handling the situation so well that he was now saying proudly, "Sometimes this takes a little wisdom to handle such a messy situation…"

"Ji Yuan is only trying to get all the maidens into his team…"

"He is indeed lecherous…"

"Does he really have honest eyes?"

"He doesn't even look honest at all…"

"He is too badass to think of something like this…"

Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue were all muttering to one another at the same time but they made sure that Ji Yuan could hear them.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …
