The Romantic Cultivator

Back to the Desolate Celestial Fraternity in the Celestial Realm. 

12 hours ago, in the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect. 

Shui Xisi flew into a rage when she had realized that Ji Yuan was missing from the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect and that he was not drinking with Guo Taiming. 

She angrily said to Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan in front of the other maidens of Ji Yuan, "So the two of you already known that Ji Yuan would be looking for the Great Demon God himself and you did not tell us?!"

Shangguan Yan was in tears as she could not withstand Shui Xisi's rage. 

Even Shui Qingqing got ranted by her and she was bleary eyed.

Ling Feiyue, Xue Qianxue and Feng Minyue were both trying to restraint Shui Xisi.

Shui Xisi said angrily to Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan, "Ji Yuan may be nuts to confront the Great Demon God himself but the two of you are also nuts not to tell the rest of us. Do you really think that Ji Yuan is able to defeat the Great Demon God alone? The Great Demon God isn't alone. He has an army of high level cultivators with him and his cultivators alone can exhaust Ji Yuan to the death! So if we didn't discover that Ji Yuan is missing, you still won't tell us?! How long have Ji Yuan been away now?!"

Fairy Ye Chengxi quietly said, "10 hours."

"10 hours!" 

Shui Xisi wanted to faint immediately. 

Fairy Ye Chengxi was no pushover as she quietly said, "We have promised Ji Yuan to keep his movement a secret. He didn't want to risk anyone of you in this confrontation. If he says that he has a way, then he will have a way…"

"Naïve!" Shui Xisi interrupted her as she stormed to the large balcony that was in front of her and then she had released her 9th rank god beast phoenix. "I am going to look for him!"

"Wait!" Yun Chi had suddenly called her to her, "Let me go with you!"

Shui Xisi quietly nodded at Yun Chi.

The Smiling Divine Maiden, the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong were all shouting, "Mistress, let's us go with you as well."

Yun Chi turned to say to them and to the other maidens, "The rest of you are too weak. We are going to fight against the Great Demon God and you are useless there. The two of us will go and bring Ji Yuan back instead."

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei interrupted gently, "I may be of some help. Please let me come with you. My profound arrays may be able to help you to reach Ji Yuan."

Yun Chi nodded, "Alright then. Come with us then."

She had heard what Xu Yifei was able to do from the other maidens and she may be of some help.

Even Shui Xisi was nodding as she said, "Let Xu Yifei and Yun Chi come with me. The rest of you please stay behind. I don't want the rest of you to take any risks." 

With that, she had hopped on top of the phoenix god beast, followed by Yun Chi and Xu Yifei as they had taken flight together on the phoenix god beast. 

When they were far and had disappeared from the horizon, the rest of the maidens tried to comfort Shangguan Yan and Fairy Ye Chengxi.

Ling Feiyue smiled, "She isn't like this all the kind. Don't mind her. She is just concerned about Ji Yuan, that's all."

Shangguan Yan tried to dry her tears as she nodded, "I know. Don't worry about this. I'll be fine shortly."

Little Princess said, "Shui Xisi is as concerned about Ji Yuan as the rest of us."

Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er didn't say a word as they were looking quite melancholy and they were anxious for Ji Yuan. And they can't blame Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan as they did not have the right to do so.

Right now, they were just hoping for Shui Xisi, Yun Chi and Xu Yifei to bring back Ji Yuan safe and sound.

Of all Ji Yuan's maidens, only Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue were both not around as they were searching elsewhere in the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect and the nearby vicinity for Ji Yuan. 

As for Ling Tianshui and Sword Saintess Yuluo, they had a quarrel with Shui Xisi over this matter as they felt that wasn't the fault of Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan. 

Ling Tianshui had said to Shui Xisi, "I don't care if they are your sister's protégés but they are Ji Yuan's official first and second consort. So, you got to give them a little respect and you ought to stop scolding them."

Even Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo had stepped in to say, "If I were them, I'd have done the same thing too. Or you want to scold me as well?"

Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo was actually Ji Yuan's second love, after he got bumped by his junior sister who had left with Jin Yilong. Also, she was the mother consort of Ji Hao as well. 

Although her cultivation was not as powerful as Shui Xisi but she had commanded a great deal of respect from the other maidens due to her close relationship with Ji Yuan. 

Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue had even remembered a time when Ji Yuan was so grieved when Sword Saintess Yuluo had 'died' in front of him. At that time, Ji Yuan had thrown out Bai Qianfeng's body out of her icy coffin and put Saintess Yuluo inside. 

It turned up that the icy coffin was able to revive Sword Saintess Yuluo while earning the wrath of Bai Qianfeng against Ji Yuan.

Sword Saintess Yuluo had known Ji Yuan when she was the Saintess Yuxian which was her alias and she was forced to leave him without a word when her father had threatened to kill Ji Yuan if she did not obey him. 

When she had left, she did not tell Ji Yuan that she was actually Jian Yuluo from the Profound Heaven Sword Manor, 1 of the 7 major celestial cultivation sects in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. 

She had said to Shui Xisi, "We all know that you like Ji Yuan as much as we do but why are you being so harsh against Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan? This is Ji Yuan's wishes and they are only helping him to keep it a secret from the rest of us. Didn't they confess Ji Yuan's whereabouts to us already?"

But her words had also unwittingly hurt Shui Qingqing who was bleary eyed; she had finally realized her matriarch and protégé mistress was in love with Ji Yuan as well. And she did not stand a chance anymore.

Naturally Sword Saintess Yuluo and Ling Tianshui were not really upset with Shui Xisi despite their quarrels. But they were just trying to reason with her that it was not the blame of Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan.

But Shui Xisi had continued to blame them for allowing Ji Yuan to fight alone.

Sword Saintess Yuluo tried to reason with her that they were not as strong as her and because of this, she was not able to see from Ji Yuan's point of view. 

But Shui Xisi had continued to rebuke Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan instead.
