The Romantic Cultivator

The four maidens; Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi were all kicking and slapping Ji Yuan as they chuckled together. They were really happy to see Ji Yuan again in such a short time again and their depressions had suddenly been lifted.

Ji Yuan was perplexed as he frowned. How come they seemed to be hitting me so hard?

Indeed they were because none of them believed Ji Yuan when he told them that he was only teasing them about banging the beautiful maidens on this level.

Although they were not as smart as Jiajia, Qianxue or Yan'Er but they were all top cultivators. They just knew that Ji Yuan was covering himself up and they were just pretending to go along with him.

And also, they were too happy to see him and so they had taken an opportunity to hit him hard so that he could remember them.

Even Qianfeng was no exception. When she saw that Xisi had pinched Ji Yuan so hard that his countenance had changed, she too, began to follow after her by pinching Ji Yuan hard.

Ji Yuan was smiling weakly and looking quite sheepish but as a man, he would not allow himself to cry out in pain. So he had endured their 'happiness' attacks.

Feng Minyue was looking at them curiously before she could not resist the urge to ask. "How did we end up in the same place?"

Ji Yuan muttered. "Well…"

"Well, maybe we have found a secret trial in this place that requires us to co-operate with one another." Shui Xisi laughed as she took Feng Minyue's hands. "Since I know Sister Yuqing so well and you're in her group, why don't you join us for the time being?"

As she turned around and out of sight from Feng Minyue, she stole a wink at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan saw her wink and he quickly laughed. "That is right. Maybe it is really a new secret trial. It is best that we travel together to meet this new challenge together. Haha."

Ling Feiyue, Little Princess and Bai Qianfeng rolled their eyes and smiled weakly.

But Ling Feiyue knew that Feng Minyue is a peaked great saintess by now and she also knew that Feng Minyue had an enticing charisma that could make men look mesmerizing in her direction and that Ji Yuan was no exception to her charms.

Therefore she laughed softly. "If Maiden Feng does not mind to be in our company then we can travel together. After all, we are not as familiar as the trials as you."

Little Princess took a look at Ling Feiyue as though she was saying; she will be our rival and she is close to the Shui Xisi. Are you sure about this?

Ling Feiyue returned a light nod while Bai Qianfeng was smiling. "Welcome to our party."

Qianfeng actually had no objections because the immortals often had multiple partners and the weak will often gather around the strong. When powerful cultivators like Feng Minyue are around Ji Yuan, she will feel assure that her man is the correct choice for her.

Qianfeng only respects the strong because she is an immortal and her sense of equality is different from the others.

As for Feng Minyue, for the very first time she was confused and she did not know what to make of her new situation.

Ji Yuan grinned as he said. "Yea, follow us. You will be safe with us and we do need senior advice to overcome the trial here too."

Feng Minyue replied. "There is no need to address me as your senior. You are also a peaked great saint…"

Then with a light nod, she added with a strange look on him. "Alright, I will join your party for now." Somehow there was a strong compelling urge that seemed to persuade her to agree to join his party.

Ji Yuan seemed to have a charismatic compelling voice and she could not resist saying no.

But she quickly added. "I have my own party here. I will have to join them once I can find them."

Ji Yuan laughed. "Of course, of course. I am best friend with Fan Yuqing and Lu Qingyun too. Haha."

Feng Minyue had a sudden mesmerizing soft chuckle. "I don't believe."

Ji Yuan frowned with an anxious look. "You don't believe? Lu Qingyun and Fan Yuqing had given me a sixth rank divine pill. If we are not best friends, will they have given me a sixth rank divine pill?"

Feng Minyue said with an amused smile. "Maybe for Lu Qingyun but Sister Saintess Yuqing is different. She is a horrible spendthrift and she doesn't know the worth of many things. Also she doesn't make friends easily and she has few friends."

Then she took a look at Shui Xisi. "And I doubt that you are really close to her."

Shui Xisi had a soft chuckle as she gave a sheepish look. It was true that she was not really close to Fan Yuqing at all and she was only trying to claim a 'relationship' with her. Fan Yuqing was actually closer to her Sister Feifei (Jiajia) than her.

It was because her Sister Feifei's intellectual could at least tame Fan Yuqing's temperament while she was helpless in front of Fan Yuqing. She still remembered that Fan Yuqing had almost bankrupted her Water Melody Palace on her last visit when she had promised her that she could make several fifth and sixth rank divine profound pills.

"Trust me! I am a sixth rank master alchemist!" she had assured her.

In the end, none of the profound pills had works and she had become a guinea pig for Fan Yuqing's alchemist practice.

Fan Yuqing laughed it off. "You know there is always a seventy percent failure even if you are a master alchemist. Or else fifth and sixth rank profound pills will be everywhere. Trust me and give me all your profound plants. This time round, I will surely succeed."

She had trusted Fan Yuqing and in the end, it had failed again…

It was more like a nine-five percent failure…

Shui Xisi could not resist adding with a not so amused look. "She is also a high level master alchemist as well."

Feng Minyue laughed softly. "You sound like a victim already."

"I am." Shui Xisi groaned. "So is she a master alchemist or not?"

Feng Minyue rolled her eyes. "Sometimes she is, sometimes she is not. It depends on her mood."

"Her mood?!" Shui Xisi exclaimed unhappily. "What does her mood have to do with her alchemist skills?"

"When she is in a happy mood, it is likely that she will screw up the profound pills that she is making." Feng Minyue smiled.

Shui Xisi: …

"Isn't that the opposite?"

When someone is a good mood, they are more alert and tend to make few mistakes.

Feng Minyue shook her head. "Not with Fan Yuqing. The happier she is, the more disastrous it will be."

Shui Xisi was groaning immediately. She had suddenly remembered that Fan Yuqing had been in a jovial mood and she looked so confident. That was why she had trusted this half-sister of hers with all of her spiritual herbs and she had ended up losing all her precious spiritual herbs.

"And by the way, she is only a third rank alchemist and not a sixth rank master alchemist. But she loves to proclaim herself as a sixth rank master alchemist." Feng Minyue smiled.

All of a sudden Shui Xisi felt like banging her head on the cliff. She had trusted a third rank alchemist to make her fifth and sixth rank profound pills!

"This…this…" she was totally speechless. "But she looks like a high level master alchemist…"

She had observed Fan Yuqing throughout the alchemist process and she was sure that Fan Yuqing was not faking.

Feng Minyue smiled weakly. "Sister Saintess Yuqing knows all the theories but she doesn't know where she is wrong. It is Lu Qingyun that has been secretly helping her with her concoctions. He is the real master alchemist even though Sister Saintess Yuqing is always insisting that Lu Qingyun is stealing his knowledge from her."

Shui Xisi: …

"She should give up on her alchemist. She sucks at it…"

Feng Minyue smiled weakly. "She won't. This is a most expensive hobby from her and I had tried to persuade her to give it up many times in the past. But she always says, practice makes perfect."

Shui Xisi muttered. "I have become her guinea pig to become better. She had even blown up my place several times…"

Feng Minyue nodded. "She really enjoys the sounds of explosions. So this won't deter her at all."

Shui Xisi: …

She had suddenly remembered that Fan Yuqing seemed to be in a more jovial mood when an explosion had occurred and was even more excited than before.

No matter how powerful the explosion was, it would not hurt Fan Yuqing because she was stronger than any peaked great saintesses because she was a half-goddess…

Ji Yuan was half-amused to hear that Shui Xisi had been scammed by her half-sister and he was enjoying the look that was on her now.
