The Romantic Cultivator



Ji Yuan had crashed onto the grassy ground while he was still cursing unhappily, "You can't do this to me. This is wanton discrimination against a gentleman of the sword like me… you know what. I am going to hate this place and I want to forfeit this trial now..."

But as soon as he had landed onto the ground, he began to shake the wobbly feeling that he had just experienced from traveling through the spatial space to examine his new surroundings. 

He saw that he was in a place full of lush meadows and there seemed to be a white city with blue spires that stood on top of a hill that was nearby.

He began to frown, "This place looks quite beautiful and is full of spiritual auras. Also, there is a city in front of me. Is this place really a SS Trial?"

Xiang Li giggled: Big Brother, this trial has just become a SSS Trial for you now.

Ji Yuan: …

"Where are you when I need you just now?"

Xiang Li began to protest immediately: Big Brother, have you forgotten that you have sent Anyang and I to meditate on the Golden Natal Profound Pearl on your behalf?

She stopped briefly to giggle before adding: We need intense meditation on this, you know.

Fairy Anyang rolled her eyes but said nothing.

Ji Yuan began to say aloud, "Alas. I've almost forgotten about this. Keep up the good job, Xiang Li and Anyang. Haha…"

Fairy Anyang began to shake her head…

Xiang Li began to giggle as she whispered to Fairy Anyang: Anyang, remember to meditate on the Golden Natal Divine Pearl. You know that I am lazy and useless at the same time…

Fairy Anyang: …

All of a sudden, Ji Yuan had paused in his tracks and he was quite startled that his old robe had been transformed into a toga under the profound illusion of this trial.

He shockingly gasped, "I am wearing a short skirt now?! And where is my boot? I am wearing a sandal now? And this toga is exposing my hairy legs…"

Xiang Li interrupted with a giggle: Big Brother, where are your hairy legs?

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes sheepishly; he had forgotten that he had also lost his hairy legs after his failed bodily transformation into a saint…

So he quickly babbled, "Haha. It seems that it is up to the 3 of us now to complete this trial on our own. But you all know that I am actually the one that is doing all the work and the thinking…"

As he said that, he began to flash toward the white city that was on the top of the hill that was in front of him.

While running toward the city, he also saw that he was wearing a weird looking ring with a black ember on it. 

"This must be the trial ring that can enable me to read the Trust Points?"

"So, what is my trial objective again?"

Xiang Li offered a helpful hint: Seduce the Divine Consort and gains 100 Trust Points.

Ji Yuan frowned unhappily all of a sudden, "Xiang Li. How come you are still able to talk to me? Aren't you supposed to be meditating on the Golden Natal Divine Pearl like Anyang now?"

Xiang Li giggled: I am actually going soon but I am afraid that my Big Brother may need some help to remember his trial objective."

Ji Yuan laughed, "I am a cultivator and I have a good memory. How is it possible for me to forget about my trial objective?"

Xiang Li giggled in response, "That is why I am Big Brother's most useless sidekick."

"Of course you are!" Ji Yuan laughed aloud. "Just follow me and I'll make sure that you will be able to survive this trial."

Fairy Anyang was rolling her eyes as she said to herself: My lord Ji Yuan has completely forgotten how he has got into this fine fix. And he is supposed to be the one that is taking the trial and not Xiang Li. Xiang Li is just buttering to her Big Brother…

Soon Ji Yuan had reached the foot of the hill that the white city with blue spires was located. 

But he was soon blinking his golden eyes and he was looking quite shocked.

It was because he had suddenly seen the sight of many beautiful maidens walking into the city and most of them were wearing revealing short robes that showed their bodies that did not hide their modesty.

He even saw that some of the more noble looking maidens were just wearing a flimsy transparent silk short robe that did not seemed to hide their boobs from view and they were not even wearing any panties with only a metallic chain that was hanging loosely between their butts and front.

Some even had just a thinly piece of silk cloth between their legs, exposing their thighs to the fullest. 

"They are wearing nothing for the imaginations..." 

Also, he had noticed that there were few men in the crowd and they were all wearing togas like him.

He began to laugh jovially as though he suddenly had other plans, "What is this place again? The Spirit Divine Realm? Haha… I think I am in love with this place already. Hahahahaha…"

Fairy Anyang could not resist it anymore and she was suddenly reminding Ji Yuan, "My lord! Remember that this is a Spirit Trial! Don't be deceived by your eyes and this is also a SS Trial!"

Ji Yuan seemed to have forgotten that Fairy Anyang was supposed to be in meditation and he quickly found an excuse as he laughed, "Don't worry Anyang. I have really good eyes and my eyes never fail me…"

He was already casting his glances at the swaying butts of the maidens that were at the city gate.

Fairy Anyang reminded him again, "You've got 70 days to gather 100 Trust Points. Without any golden talisman, you can't quit this trial and you will be struck here for 500 years or 5000 years here…."

But Ji Yuan was simply not listening. "Alas Anyang, 70 days here is just too short for me. Maybe the Trial Spirit meant to say 700 days? Haha..."

Instead, he was running faster than ever toward the white city as he laughed with great delight. "What is my trial objective again? Get more information in the city. Found out where the Divine Consort is and seduces her for my Trust Points. I've got such a beautiful face and no maidens would be able to resist me… Hahahaha… I am simply in love with this beautiful place…"

Fairy Anyang pointed it out with an exasperated look: Didn't you say that you hate this place and wants to forfeit the trial at the very start?

Ji Yuan laughed, "I don't remember saying anything like this. I just love my trials." 

Fairy Anyang: ...

She could only sigh weakly: I got a feeling our lord is going to fail this trial badly…

Xiang Li was heard encouraging Ji Yuan: Big Brother, so we shall collect them all?
