The Romantic Cultivator

When Ji Yuan had exited the trial portal to the fourth level of the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth, he found himself standing on a rocky perch that was surrounded by tall black cliffs.

"Where am I?" Ji Yuan muttered.

But he got no time to ponder first.

It was because he had to do something else first.

"Is anyone here?" He quickly displayed a loud profound shout that could resonate his voice for miles around.

He silently prayed that Xiang Li's magic would work again…

As he waited, he was sighing to Xiang Li. "Xiang Li, next time don't aid me unless I've asked you for help. I really don't want you to have any blood in your hands."

Xiang Li answered curiously. "But if I don't help Big Brother, won't my Big Brother be in grave danger?"

Ji Yuan laughed. "It is not so easy to kill me."

But at the same time, he was muttering; this Cai Bisheng is really too weak to have died so instantly.

Actually Cai Bisheng was not weak.

Ji Yuan had been lying in ambush behind the portal for Cai Bisheng.

As soon as Cai Bisheng had entered through the portal, Ji Yuan had surprise him with a sudden attack.

Because Cai Bisheng's first reaction was to expend his profound strength to retrieve his celestial sword instead of dealing with Ji Yuan's attacks first. He had made a tactical mistake.

Even though it may only be a blink of an eye but it was a mistake that could cost him his life because he had not expected that Ji Yuan's sword stroke could be so swift. Moreover Ji Yuan had a saint sword as well as a sword spirit.

Cai Bisheng could only mutter silently before his golden skeleton was torn apart. "What a swift sword…"

Ji Yuan said solemnly to Xiang Li. "What if I am dueling with Jiajia, do you want me to kill her by accident?"

Xiang Li chuckled. "Of course not. You can't win Jiajia and I'm not helping you against Jiajia."

Ji Yuan: …

"Whose side are you on?" He frowned.

"Of course it is Jiajia. She is one of the favorite heroines." Xiang Li giggled.

Ji Yuan muttered weakly. "Be careful what you've wished for. You may accidentally kill me when you're on Jiajia's side…"

All of a sudden Ji Yuan could hear shouts from all around him as his mutterings were interrupted.

He had of course recognized these shouts and very quickly, seven familiar maidens had quickly emerged from all around him and they were all smiling behind their veils when they saw Ji Yuan.

"Ji Yuan!"

"My lord!"

"What are everyone's rewards?"

The seven maidens quickly interacted with soft jovial laughter as they gathered around Ji Yuan.

"This is what I've got…"

"I wonder what Ji Yuan got?"

"Ji Yuan, what did you get?"

Ji Yuan's heart was filled with great warmth when he saw them again.

He could barely contain his excitement as he laughed jovially. "What if I tell you that I did not get anything from the trial, will you believe me?"

"Lies!"

"Liar."

"Ji Yuan is always lying to us…"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

I really didn't get anything from the trial spirit…

"Ji Yuan." Ling Feiyue said solemnly. "That White Saint Cai Bisheng is really too outrageous. We must definitely teach him a lesson and seize his celestial sword even if it is divine harmonized to him."

Shui Xisi nodded with teething rage as well. "Indeed! He had dared to cheat in front of us!"

"He may think he is smart but he has earned himself several powerful enemies!" Little Princess was also expressing her unhappiness.

Even Bai Qianfeng was saying. "We will hunt him down in the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth and seize his celestial sword. This is his price for trying to show off in front of us."

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly. "Actually we should be a little forgiving to our enemies. He is just a petty man. There is no need to hunt him down."

Bai Qianfeng hummed coldly. "This is not our way. I am not an orthodox cultivator. If my lord has a merciful heart then please allow Qianfeng to punish him in your place!"

Ji Yuan was smiling bitterly to himself; I've already killed him…it is better that I don't let them know. They're not going to believe me anyway because I can't explain how I've killed Cai Bisheng myself because the entire account is too unbelievable to be believed by anyone anyway."

Ling Feiyue hummed coldly. "Don't forget that I am an unorthodox cultivator so I will surely hold grudges."

"Even if you're not an unorthodox cultivator, you are a woman and all women hold grudges." Ji Yuan muttered.

"What did you just say?" Ling Feiyue asked him.

Ji Yuan laughed weakly. "Nothing. I am just saying that I just saw Cai Bisheng earlier and he has just given me his celestial sword."

"How come he is with you? He is your best friend?" Ling Feiyue asked him.

But before she and the other maidens could ask Ji Yuan more, he had already taken out the celestial-step divine sword that he had taken from Cai Bisheng.

"Feiyue, this celestial sword is for you." Ji Yuan grinned.

Ling Feiyue gasped with shock and she was flushing awkwardly. "It is really for me? Why don't you give it to the others? This celestial sword is too precious for me to accept."

Little Princess smiled. "Sister Feiyue, you may have it. I won't be envious."

Feng Minyue was also smiling. She did not care for any material profound treasures even if it was a saint sword that was put in front of her.

As for Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi, they were not envious as they already had a similar if not higher grade divine sword.

Wan'Er and Hanhan were actually envious when they saw that Ji Yuan was presenting a celestial sword to Ling Feiyue.

It was a normal behavior to feel envious as anyone else would feel the same.

Shui Xisi chuckled. "So Ji Yuan, what did you get for your reward? Are you keeping your reward as a trump card?"

Ji Yuan laughed as he threw Shui Xisi a spatial ring. "I got this spatial ring from the trial spirit. You may have the first choice of pick. All of you can take from this spatial ring. Haha."

He was being generous because he had actually looted it from Cai Bisheng and had asked Xiang Li to wipe away all the profound signatures that belonged to Cai Bisheng.

He did not even have the time to check its content yet.

But since Shui Xisi and the other maidens were pestering him for the trial reward, he knew that he had to show them something outstanding or else he would have a lot of explaining to do.

Ji Yuan continued to laugh. "Haha…"

Shui Xisi was soon gasping as she showed the contents of the spatial ring to the other maidens. "There are so many profound treasures in this ring? It is all for us? There are three divine swords inside…"

Ling Feiyue was also gasping. "And this profound treasure is worth a million high grade spirit stones…"

Little Princess was gasping. "Really! Wow, it seems Ji Yuan really got something good this time…"

Feng Minyue, Chen Hanhan, Mu Wan'Er and Bai Qianfeng were also gasping softly as they could not believe how generous Ji Yuan really was.

As Ji Yuan listened to their gasping sounds, he was gulping his dry throat with great remorse as he thought; did Feiyue just say that there is an item that is worth a million high grade spirit stones…

He had actually wanted to snatch the spatial ring back but his manly pride kept him from doing so…

"Xiang Li, why didn't you tell me that there are so many good profound treasures inside?" Ji Yuan was frowning.

Xiang Li answered him in his soul sea. "But Big Brother, these treasures are just so and so. They're not really worthy anything at all."

Ji Yuan: …

That was the reply when he had tasked Xiang Li to check the spatial ring for profound treasures. He had thought that he could trust Xiang Li because Xiang Li was actually a good appraisal.

He could only mutter weakly; I am not going to trust Xiang Li ever again. It isn't because she is a bad appraisal. She is just too good that everything is worthless in her eyes…

Although Ji Yuan did get the much needed wealth he had always desired but he had scored yet another high score with the maidens in his party.

"Ji Yuan is really so generous…"

"It is really for us?"

"This looks like multiple rewards…"

Ji Yuan was smiling bitterly as he rubbed his chin; this Cai Bisheng is really a rich cultivator. He really didn't live in vain…because he has finally found a new master to all the profound treasures that he had collected in his short life…
