The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan said again, "So aren't you shameless or what? You have claimed that you would like to have me as your future lord. In front of everyone, I can't promise you directly but look at the poem that I've written for you. All my great love is there for you to see!"

Then he said righteously, "In front of everyone, I've professed my longings and love for you. What's more do you want? What proof do you want?"

Xiang Li gasped in his soul sea, "Big Brother, well said. You can be an actor too!"

Ji Yuan chuckled back, "I'm thinking that will be my next profession."

Fairy Anyang muttered weakly, "If you manage to make it through tonight, that is."

Yun Chi shuddered a little after hearing Ji Yuan and her twenty-four hovering flying swords around him were also wavering at the same time.

"But you on the other hand, are just toying with my feelings!" Ji Yuan said coldly, "And you even want to kill me!"

Then he took out the Escape Talisman and said, "But if you want to kill me, I will like to know if your swords are faster or my Escape Talisman is faster."

Unlike the other cultivators who were unprepared earlier and got killed, Ji Yuan was telling her that he was fully prepared to 'escape' at a short notice.

But of course he was not preparing to do it because he would end up screwing himself; if the Death God Mingwang had setup a sword array outside that is triggerable only if he shows up, then he would have to fight the clone of the Death God Mingwang.

Since the Death God Mingwang is also in the trial as well then if he will use the Escape Talisman immediately then Ji Yuan would be cornered by him.

"Don't forget that I'm Number 404. You need my help to complete the trial!"

"I will keep your secret for you…"

"You're joking with me, am I right?"

"Dear Yun Chi…"

Ji Yuan was now babbling nonstop.

Yun Chi was rolling her golden eyes as she looked at Ji Yuan; she did not want to kill him yet because he still has some uses.

Most importantly, she was slightly confused and amused by him when he had suddenly told her that he had already given her his betrothed gift in the form of a poem.

Truth was, she had been sleepless that night after Ji Yuan had composed the poem for her and she had secretly taken out the painting to recite his poem and to appreciate his handwriting.

But she still has to teach him a lesson first.

And she was also interested to know how strong his sword skill was.

And so, she raised her fingers to launch all twenty-four of her flying swords at him.

Ji Yuan was startled; she is not afraid that I will use the Escape Talisman?

The twenty-four swords immediately attacked like a shooting star all around Ji Yuan.

But Ji Yuan was even quicker as he parried all the attacking flying swords that were all around him as he charged toward Yun Chi.

His attacking speed had suddenly doubled, especially his main sword arm that was reacting three times as fast.

Ji Yuan knew that Yun Chi's flying swords were really swift and powerful, capable of piercing through the profound animus of even the saint cultivators and even dismembered their almost indestructible golden skeleton so he dared not be careless.

Moreover he had used the precious moments to quickly recover some of his profound strength.

He was merely distracting her while he used his profound recovery to his advantage; his profound recovery is many times faster than most of the saint cultivators because he is a sword energy practitioner.

Yun Chi actually did not send her flying swords to go through to Ji Yuan but had controlled it to stop at the precise moment.

But when she saw Ji Yuan was capable of fending off her flying divine swords, her attacks got bolder too.

Ji Yuan was thinking as he sped toward her; I need to get her before the end of my vital energies breath. But these damn flying swords of hers are distracting me and using the bulk of my profound strength…

Yun Chi was smiling all of a sudden as Ji Yuan sped toward her.

Six of her flying divine swords were suddenly by her side immediately and were hovering around her, ready to fly toward him.

"So the renown of the Sword Saint Ji Yuan is just so and so…"

Ji Yuan gasped, "Oh darn…"

He had suddenly realized that he had cornered himself into her barrage of flying swords on all sides without a chance to evade now…

But all of a sudden a powerful profound force had exploded in another direction and had surprised both Ji Yuan and Yun Chi at the same time.

It had come from the 'dead' Gong Xiaotian. Although he had appeared to be dead and was severely maimed but he had used his secret profound art to play dead.

When he saw that Ji Yuan and Yun Chi were both engaged in a fierce fight together, he had used the secret profound art that he had learnt in the red mansion to attack all of a sudden.

This secret profound art was extremely powerful but it had a heavy price; the cultivator must use his life force energies as a price.

At this time, Gong Xiaotian was already driven by the madness of enacting his vengeance on both Ji Yuan and Yun Chi so preserving his life was no longer his consideration.

Moreover if he wants to surprise them then he had to use his life force energies instead or else their divine sense would alert them to his profound energies build-up.

A similar size life force energies profound force is many times more powerful than a typical profound force. After all, life force energies used up the life force energies in the inner spiritual sea instead of the usual spiritual energies.

Both Ji Yuan and Yun Chi were struck by the profound force that exploded furiously like a white nova on them!

Yun Chi immediately raised her sleeves to shield her face while she diverted her six hovering flying swords to dismember Gong Xiaotian, killing him for good this time.

Gong Xiaotian was stunned when he had died; he had never thought that Yun Chi would react this fast. He did not even have a chance to use the Escape Talisman that he had prepared in his fingers!

As for Ji Yuan and Yun Chi, at the same time that they were both struck by the white nova-like profound force, the ground below them had also given away and they were suddenly plunged into the dark abyss below.

Ji Yuan and Yun Chi were still fighting with each other furiously when they had suddenly plunged into the deep dark waters below.

They were both gasping with shock; it was because the golden skeletons of the golden celestials are denser and heavier than a non-golden celestial. This will cause them to sink rapidly in the deep waters.

Plus their spatial rings contain their divine swords and other heavy items that will also drag them into the waters; spatial rings do not eliminate the weight at all.

Ji Yuan was startled when he had suddenly plunged into the waters; he did not know how to swim!

Although he cannot drown immediately since he can hold his breath almost indefinite as long as he still has his spiritual energies but he cannot renew his spirit energies while he is still underwater.

He must be the first MC in the cultivation stories that is afraid of water and probably drown in the water as well.

He began to recall the poor fishes that he had saved by throwing them into the water, causing them to be drowned.

When he was a young kid, he had also remembered throwing a tortoise into a pond of water, drowning it as well.

He had always thought that all tortoises are able to swim but the unfortunate tortoise that he had thrown into the water happened to be a tortoise that cannot swim.

This must be his bad karma.

Water is scary!

His mind was frantically thinking what he should do once he had dropped into the water.

He must definitely struggle in order to reach to the surface or he would drown.

Therefore he began to struggle very hard in the darkness of the deep water.

Then his sharp eyes saw two balloons in the dark waters on top of him.

Balloons will float to the surface, right?

So he immediately swam toward it to grab onto the soft balloons!

Yun Chi gasped loudly, "Let go of me, you pervert!"

Ji Yuan was not only grabbing her boobs but he was also pulling her short skirt as well.

It took Ji Yuan a while to realize what was going on and he saw that Yun Chi's short red skirt had all fluttered up and that she was wearing transparent grey panties…

But no matter what happened today, Ji Yuan simply refused to let go of the balloons that he had caught firmly or else he would be drowned by the fast moving underground river and he could see furious underwater whirlpools all around them.

And the two of them were suddenly entangled in the dark waters; one trying to free herself from the other and the other trying to hold onto the other.

After an hour of struggling and entanglement in the dark waters, Ji Yuan and Yun Chi had pulled themselves to the nearest bank of the underground river that was flowing with torrential speed; they were basically pulling each other tightly.

Ji Yuan spat out the water as he muttered weakly, "Haha, I didn't drown…sorry Maiden Yun Chi…"

No response…

Did she drown?

Ji Yuan quickly took a look at Yun Chi; he was quite startled to see that she had turned ashen and that she was trembling uncontrollably.

She was having an epileptic seizure?!

Ji Yuan was stunned; she can't swim too?! And she is even more afraid of water than him…

No, wait!

Is she faking it to lure him into complacency and then to attack him?

Then he noticed something.

Her belt was loosened.

And her panties was pulled down by him earlier.

His wandering eyes began to stare hard…

And even her red robe was pull aside by him, exposing her perked bust front…

She seemed to have lost control of her profound strength; hence her belt could be loosened, causing her robe to be loosened and he could even pull down her panties earlier…

Ji Yuan stared hard as he rubbed his chin;

What if this was an act?

There is only one way to find out…
