The Romantic Cultivator

"Ji Yuan! You have returned alive?!"

"Maiden Xu Yifei brought you back…"

"Ji Yuan, you have really defeated the Great Demon God? How is it possible?"

"The others are also back with you…"

"Please tell us what had happened…"

Ji Yuan's maidens that were left behind were all jostling at him and poking him to see if he was real. 

"I really can't believe that the Great Demon God has been defeated. What happened to the evil cultivators? You have also defeated them?"

Ji Yuan laughed jovially as he said to all of them, "Of course! I have a complete victory over the evil cultivators as well. Haha…"

All of a sudden the Great Immortal Rohan and the Goddess Alyssa had flashed forward to Ji Yuan.

The Great Immortal Rohan was calling out for Ji Yuan, "Great Saint Ji Yuan! The maiden in white that you have rescued, is Number 1! She is also the right hand sword of the Great Demon God! Be careful of her!"

When he had shouted this warning to Ji Yuan, the thousands of cultivators that were around were all alarmed. 

Some of Ji Yuan's maidens were also alarmed. 

Shangguan Yan was also whispering to Ji Yuan, "She is a very dangerous maiden. My lord, be careful of her."

Ji Yuan chuckled aloud as he jumped next to Ding Xiaoxiao and caught hold of her waist as he said to everyone, "She isn't Number 1. She is Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao, my new confidant. Hahaha…"

Yun Chi was stunned when she saw that Ji Yuan was holding onto Ding Xiaoxiao's waist: They are really together?! When? How? Ding Xiaoxiao actually allows her to hold her waist?!

She had to believe it because Ding Xiaoxiao had declared to the Great Demon God that she was Ji Yuan's maiden and that he was her lord. 

If she had not heard with her own ears, she would not have believed it to be true. 

When the Great Immortal Rohan, the Goddess Alyssa, the Immortal Fairy Lucia and some other immortals that had come with the Great Immortal Rohan saw that Ji Yuan was holding onto Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao's waist, they were greatly alarmed. 

It was because they were half-expecting Ji Yuan's hands to be chopped off by Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao for daring to hold her waist in public.

In fact, they could see that Ding Xiaoxiao was staring coldly at Ji Yuan.

She was staring coldly at Ji Yuan while whispering to him, "Do you have to hold my waist in public? Aren't you taking advantage of me?"

As a matter of fact, Ji Yuan's fingers were indeed stroking her tender waist. 

Ji Yuan whispered to her without looking at her as he maintained a grin in front of the others, "If I don't hold you then they won't believe that you are my maiden. I am merely trying to protect you."

Ding Xiaoxiao whispered, "You can hold my waist but do you have to move your dirty fingers on me?"

Ji Yuan pretended to say, "After my battle with the Great Demon God, my fingers are still trembling and I can't control my fingers."

Ding Xiaoxiao: …

The Great Immortal Rohan was still shouting frantically to Ji Yuan, "Sword Saint Ji Yuan, trust me. She is extremely dangerous. She is trying to infiltrate us."

Ji Yuan frowned with piercing look upon the Great Immortal Rohan, "Nono. She isn't Number 1 or our enemy. Brother Rohan, do I need to repeat myself?"

The Great Immortal Rohan was startled when he saw Ji Yuan's piercing look and he had suddenly realized Ji Yuan's hidden meaning in his message. 

Yun Chi smiled wryly, "Maybe she is a lookalike to Number 1 but she isn't. In fact, she is our mole to thwart the plans of the Great Demon God."

The Great Immortal Rohan got Yun Chi's hint and he quickly said aloud, "Right. She is indeed a lookalike. After taking a careful look, she isn't Number 1. Hahahaha…"

Even the Goddess Alyssa was smiling bitterly, "That's right. She isn't Number 1. It is our mistake."

Xue Qianxue and Ling Feiyue asked Ji Yuan at the same time, "Ji Yuan, how did you defeat the Great Demon God? Why don't you tell us?"

Ji Yuan pretended to sigh heavily, "Well. It is a long story…"

Ling Feiyue rolled her beautiful golden eyes sheepishly as she interrupted him, "Make it short."

Ji Yuan: …

"Well. As all of you know, I went ahead to confront the Great Demon God on my own. After flying for almost 20 hours, I was exhausted from flying and then I saw the Evil Cultivation Palace and at least 500 profound ships that were also appearing into view. I was utterly shocked!" 

Xiang Li rolled her eyes inside Ji Yuan's inner spiritual sea when she had heard him; it was because he was not exhausted from flying. Also, he was not shocked when he saw the Evil Cultivation Palace and that he had almost more than double the size of the profound ships that he had encountered.

Ji Yuan said aloud while also sighing heavily, "I didn't find the Great Demon God because the Great Demon God isn't in the Evil Cultivation Palace. Rather, I've encountered Number 3 and Number 5 instead. They were the vanguard fleet that was sent to attack the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect…"

"In the end, even though I was drained and exhausted, I had to give battle. My battle with the Evil Cultivation Palace and the 600 profound ships were earthshaking to say the least…"

Xiang Li rolled her eyes again; it was because Ji Yuan had just added an extra 100 profound ships.

Even Shui Xisi was rolling her eyes as she could not resist an interruption, "How come you never die and is still kicking?"

Ji Yuan ignored her remarks as he continued, "I had almost died from my battle against Number 3 and Number 5. But I remembered that I have to protect all of you from the Great Demon God and hence, I had to keep on fighting these two powerful foes as well as braving the hundreds of profound cannons that were hitting me nonstop…."

Many of the maidens were looking sheepishly when Ji Yuan described he had been hit by hundreds of profound cannons. 

Yun Chi was thinking: Not even a true god can survive hundreds of those big profound cannons. I know that you are trying to impress the gullible but this is a little too exaggerating.

Shui Xisi was thinking of firing a profound cannon from her profound ship to see if Ji Yuan was able to survive it. 

Ding Xiaoxiao casually interrupted Ji Yuan, "You don't look exhausted and the profound cannons did not even hit you. I saw your battle in the profound imagery."

She had seen Ji Yuan's battle against Number 3 and Number 5 in a profound imagery while she was in the Great Desolate Divine Palace. 

In fact, the Great Demon God and many others had all viewed Ji Yuan's battle against Number 3 and Number 5 as he appeared. 

Ji Yuan: …

"Erm, profound imagery can't capture everything. Your profound imagery probably has a blind spot. Trust me."

Ding Xiaoxiao: …

All of a sudden, the heavens above the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect had turned golden, startling everyone!

It was as though a portal was opening up! 

Ji Yuan was startled too but he was also glad to have an interruption to save him from his awkwardness of answering Ding Xiaoxiao. 

At the same time, he also got more time to make his battle with Number 3 and Number 5 more exciting to his listeners.

Yun Chi was gasping along with the Great Immortal Rohan and the Goddess Alyssa, "I am sensing the appearance of a powerful presence…" 

Ji Yuan had heard Yun Chi and he was startled, "The Great Demon God is back?"

Yun Chi shook her head as she whispered to Ji Yuan, "The Great Demon God can't return so quickly and moreover, I don't think he can even return at all. This presence is even more powerful than the Great Demon God."

The Great Immortal Rohan and the Goddess Alyssa also had the same conclusion as Yun Chi as they watched the clouds in the heaven turned golden in color.
