The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 824 Ji Yuan, Your Question Is Stupid!

?

The mountain sides of the Great Primeval Spirit Mountains were filled with hundreds of cultivators, mostly female spiritas that were thrown out by the legendary Secret Oracle Gate. 

This included Ji Yuan, the Goddess Ai Tina and Xu Yifei. 

Above them, the gigantic skull was quickly disappearing from the bottom up even as rippling profound shockwaves could be felt throughout the vicinity, causing balloons of ice and thick mists to envelop the vicinity. 

The trial of the legendary Secret Oracle Gate had finally ended.

When the hundreds of cultivators saw that the Goddess Ai Tina was among them, they quickly bowed respectfully even though more than half of them were actually not from the Northern Alliance Theology Olympiad.

The news that the Goddess Ai Tina was back to the Spirit Divine Realm had quickly rattled throughout the city-states of the Spirit Divine Realm and had filled many of the female spiritas with great excitement.

The hot question that was in the minds of everyone was, who among them had managed to pay homage to the Great Oracle of Delphi and had obtained an answer from her?

Naturally, most of the spirit cultivators had suspected that it was actually the Goddess Ai Tina because the first two waves of cultivators had encountered an immortal profound defensive array that was already in place and the only immortal that they could see was actually the Goddess Ai Tina.

The Goddess Ai Tina said to them, "The trial is over. Go back to where you belong."

Many of the cultivators bowed with their hands respectfully before leaving excitingly for they had finally seen the legend of their Spirit Divine Realm today.

A most peerless and coquettish maiden had suddenly flashed to the Goddess Ai Tina, Xu Yifei and Ji Yuan.

She was actually the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue.

"Senior sister!" Ji Yuan laughed jovially when he saw her. 

He pretended to ask, "Senior sister, why are you here? What a surprise to see you in this place. Haha…"

The Smiling Divine Maiden smiled coyly for she was quite relieved to see that Ji Yuan was alive and well.

But she was also puzzled: Did this little rascal lies to me? I have been so worried for him for the past 3 days and he is alive and well?

She raised her hands together to bow respectfully to the Goddess Ai Tina and Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei before taking a look at Ji Yuan again, "What a coincident to have met you in this place."

She felt a little awkward when she had said that because it was obvious that she had been following them since she was actually staying in the same tavern as Ji Yuan. 

She took a quick look at her surroundings to see if the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong was around but she could not see or sense him.

He had probably landed on the other side of the mountains and had quickly departed. 

She quickly turned to ask Ji Yuan with a soft chuckle, "So did you manage to find the Great Oracle of Delphi?"

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "Yes, we did."

The Smiling Divine Maiden smiled in the direction of the Goddess Ai Tina even as she asked Ji Yuan, "As expected of the Goddess Ai Tina. I shouldn't be surprised that she is the one that have found the Great Oracle of Delphi. Is it convenient to share with me her question?"

Before Ji Yuan could answer her, the Goddess Ai Tina had said nonchalantly, "Naturally it is convenient. It is because I am not the one that have asked the question to the Great Oracle of Delphi."

Ji Yuan had a look of awkwardness on his face, "Actually I am the one that poses the question to the Great Oracle of Delphi."

Chu Lixue had a look of surprise on her divine countenance, "Why should you ask the question? Do you even have a good question to ask the Great Oracle of Delphi in the first place?" 

"Put it this way. I've won the right to ask the question of the Great Oracle of Delphi." Ji Yuan laughed rather sheepishly.

"Which is?" Chu Lixue had a most curious look as she asked Ji Yuan.

"This Great Oracle of Delphi is actually a charlatan. I've asked her to tell me everything about herself. She didn't even tell me anything meaningful about her background before she kicked me out of her Sacred Temple of Delphi."

Chu Lixue had a look of disbelief, "What? Why should she want to give you anything about her background? Her? I get it now…"

She was now frowning unhappily, "This Great Oracle of Delphi must be a great beauty, am I right? And you have actually tried to befriend her by asking about her background. It is no wonder that you got kicked out by her halfway. How could you ask her this stupid question when there are so many questions to ask of her?"

Ji Yuan said bitterly, "I told you already. This Great Oracle of Delphi is a fake. She can fool the others but not me. Even a 3 year old knows how to give a cryptic answer like she does. If you don't believe, you can ask the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei."

Chu Lixue turned to look at the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei with a weak look. 

Xu Yifei said weakly, "It isn't too nice to call the Great Oracle of Delphi a charlatan or a fake. She is a sacred goddess of the Spiritas. So, we should be more respectful to her. The Great Oracle can only give cryptic answer. It is up to the wise to decipher it."

"You may have wronged the Great Oracle of Delphi." The Goddess Ai Tina was also bitterly saying. "She didn't lie to me on the occurrence of the Secret Oracle Gate. She is right."

Chu Lixue was quietly looking at Ji Yuan and it seemed like she was saying to him: Well? What do you have to say now?

Ji Yuan bitterly smiled to himself: She is the mistress of the Secret Oracle Gate. Naturally she can choose to reveal to you the timing of occurrences for the Secret Oracle Gate."

The Goddess Ai Tina said nonchalantly to everyone, "Let's go now. We have no business here anymore. Let me fly all of you out of this place."

Ji Yuan, Xu Yifei and Chu Lixue were all nodding; they were only too glad to leave this god forsaken mountains.

Elsewhere under the heavy debris of the frost and ice stones, an extreme albino beauty with snowy hair was also buried in a pathetic manner. 

She was none other than the Dark Goddess of Destiny and she could not believe what had happened to her.

The Great Beyond Goddess had warned her in the past that should she continued on her deceptions in the future, there would be an even more severe punishment that was waiting for her.

And today, it had finally come true. 

Around her neck was a golden collar and this was no ordinary collar but a slave collar. 

She was now horrified. 

She had a backlash to her cultivation core simply because she did not feel like answering fully on her background to this Ji Yuan and now, she was forced to wear a slave collar to serve this celestial cultivator?

A mighty dark goddess and divine ruler of the Dark Entropy Realm would actually be a slave to a lowly celestial cultivator?!

If the other immortals would to learn about this, she would be a laughing stock in the 6 Immortal Divine Realms! 

She would humble herself before this Ji Yuan?!

Never!

But she weakly withdrew her haughty look; the longer that she is away from her 'master', the weaker she will become. 

She must not let this Ji Yuan knows that he is her master and she is his slave. 

She needs to trick him into removing her slave collar from her instead.

"Curse you, Great Beyond Goddess. May you never find the True Devil God. Even if I know where he is with my rod of destinies, I'd never tell you anything." She cursed weakly before she coughed out a bout of golden blood.

"This stupid Ji Yuan. Can't you ask this goddess a simple question instead of asking something as complicated as my background?! I am so close to being a True Divinity and yet you have screwed me…"

The main reason why she had given this Ji Yuan the right to answer a question from her was because she had thought that he was a simpleton and his question was going to be a breeze for her to answer. 

She had never thought that he would ask a stupid question such as her background instead of a difficult cultivation question.
