The Romantic Cultivator



After Ji Yuan had finished recounting his trip in the legendary Secret Oracle Gate to Ding Jie'Er and how he had met the Great Oracle of Delphi, she was astonished.

Naturally he had lied about the third challenge to her and had merely told her that the Goddess Ai Tina was gracious not to kill him but decided to give him a chance to ask a question from the Great Oracle of Delphi.

Also, he had hidden several things from her like his suspicions on the Spiritas Tower and the Greater Spirit Realm as he did not want to Little Jie'Er to have any undue anxiety. After all, this was only his suspicions and it may not be the whole truth.

Also, he felt uneasy about exposing the Goddess Ai Tina especially he had realized that she and Xu Yifei are actually related.

Ding Jie'Er was suddenly quiet and she seemed to be pondering over something.

This was not lost on Ji Yuan as he asked her, "Little Jie'Er, if you have anything in your mind, why don't you tell me?"

Ding Jie'Er sighed softly, "I wonder if Yuan Beluga is willing to show me the golden horn that you have found inside the legendary Secret Oracle Gate? I know that this may be a most awesome cultivation profound treasure for you so it is perfect alright if you don't want to show it to me…"

But before she could finish, Ji Yuan had already taken out the golden horn and put it gently in her hands, "You mean this? It isn't something that is really useful to me. Haha…"

Ding Jie'Er was holding the golden horn with trembling fingers, "This is really the golden horn of the Wolly Nympha. Your Little Jie'Er cultivates the spirit lightning profound art and this golden horn can enhance my spirit lightning talisman as well as my own cultivation. I wonder if Yuan Beluga can give me a little of this golden horn so that I can research it? I can pay you of course."

She pursed her lips to continue, "I can arrange for it even if you desire…"

There was a flustered look in her dedicate countenance as she tried to say that she was willing to let Yuan Beluga have her if he so desired. But she just could not say the word out. 

But Ji Yuan simply interrupted her with a soft chuckle, "Little Jie'Er, if this golden horn is useful to you then just say so. Take this golden horn then."

Ding Jie'Er was dumbfounded and she was trembling uncontrollably, "The… entire golden horn… is for me? You're… sure, Yuan Beluga?"

Ji Yuan looked at her curiously, "Why not?"

Ding Jie'Er stammered for words, "But what… do Yuan Beluga wants… from this golden horn in return?"

Actually, Ji Yuan had not thought of getting anything in return for this golden horn and he really have no use for it even though he knows that he may be able to exchange it for a huge sum of spirit stones or even for the other profound treasures that he may needed.

But he is Ji Yuan and not the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong who would surely demand a price in return as he sought to perfect all his cultivations.

Ji Yuan on the other hand was unwilling to spend centuries of his life in cultivation so that he could be stronger than the average cultivators. 

He did not need this recognition of being praised by the others. 

Heck! He did not even know what this golden horn would even do! 

Ding Jie'Er shook her head to protest firmly, "This is too precious for me to take. You have no idea how valuable this golden horn is to the spirit lightning cultivators. I can't take advantage of Yuan Beluga even if you do not need this. Your Little Jie'Er just needs a little and it will do."

Ji Yuan laughed before saying to her with an equally firm look, "Although my cultivation sucks but I know that you will surely need more than just a little. After all, once you have the need for it, you will need more than that to test and even improve upon your cultivation profound arts."

"But what do you need for this?" Ding Jie'Er was adamant to ask Ji Yuan what he needed.

Xiang Li had purposely taken this opportunity to say: Take her body, Big Brother!

Ji Yuan: …

Shut up, Xiang Li.

But he quickly answered with a soft chuckle, "The divine sword that my Jiajia has given me is more than enough…"

The earth-step divine sword that Jiajia has given him has now become an emperor-step divine sword and he has been using it for the past 100 years. 

This is actually his first divine sword. 

And he is going to use this divine sword to protect Jiajia when he has emerged from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

He has plenty of love for this divine sword and now this divine sword is also called Xiang Li. 

But when he saw the guilty look that was in Little Jie'Er, he laughed. "Well, I wonder if you got any replenishing profound pills that can help me to regain my profound strength? I am short of supplies now. Haha…"

This was the truth. 

It was not only him that was short of the replenishing profound pills but all the celestial cultivators in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth were also short in supply after almost 6 months of trials inside.

Ding Jie'Er muttered weakly, "Isn't this too cheap?"

But Ji Yuan insisted, "This is actually quite valuable for me. Haha…"

All of a sudden, Ding Jie'Er had dropped into his embrace and she was holding his strong waist tightly, "Yuan Beluga, thank you…"

Ji Yuan was startled by her sudden action, "Erm, this is alright."

Ding Jie'Er continued to say softly, "This Maiden Jiajia, you seem to like her a lot. Do you mind telling me more about her?"

Ji Yuan was glad to talk about Jiajia. In fact, he wanted to talk more about Jiajia than copulating with his senior sister.

So he cleared his throat before saying, "Ahem! Well, it goes like this. I've first met Jiajia in the Mystic Eye Guild. At that time, I was fishing for information about Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue. This Sacred Xue Qianxue had actually dared to challenge me for a duel but I was kind enough to accept it. If I lose, I would have to shave off my beard. Naturally this is not something that I want to do at that time. That is why I am in the Mystic Eye Guild as this duel is important for me…"

"And then Xia Jiajia had also appeared. At that time, I had already known that she was in cahoots with Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue but I just pretended to play along with her. As you know, how is it possible for a genius like me to be setup so easily? And so…"

"You must know that I am a genius cultivator that always thinks 7 steps ahead…"

Fairy Anyang asked Xiang Li: Is our lord telling the truth?

Xiang Li giggled: This sounds a little different from Maiden Ling Feiyue's accounts…

Fairy Anyang shook her head: His accounts in the legendary Secret Oracle Gate was too exaggerated and he is the only smart cultivator in there…

Xiang Li laughed jovially: Isn't all cultivation stories like this as well? 

Fairy Anyang weakly said: Our lord is simply rewriting all his cultivation history with his fake stories! 

Xiang Li giggled: I know the ending of this story that Big Brother is telling to Sister Little Jie'Er. In the end, Jiajia cannot help but fall in love with him because he is so awesome…

Ji Yuan of course was not paying any attention to Xiang Li and Anyang now as he was now lost in his own world trying to create an awesome hero cultivator that could make Jiajia loses herself whenever she was in his presence. 

Anyang muttered weakly: I feel sad for the impure soul sea of our lord. 

Xiang Li asked curiously: But Big Brother's soul sea is still so pure. Why is it so?

Anyang looked at Xiang Li but did not say anything: Because of you… 

But she quickly smiled: I wonder which silly maiden actually believe that our lord is a genius cultivator?

Destiny was gasping with shock when she had secretly heard the accounts that were from Ji Yuan. 

"Did he just say that he always thinks 7 steps ahead?"

"He is actually a genius cultivator and I have been calculated into his trap… it is no wonder that I have got this slave collar…"

She gasped again with a sudden realization, "Don't tell me that he has planned to give me this slave collar from the very start? And this is all part of his plans? He knows that I have this slave collar and therefore he is trying to deny me from telling him about my background?"

"This is bad now…"

Elsewhere in the tavern, the Goddess Ai Tina and Xu Yifei were in the same room together.

They were weeping together and Xu Yifei sobbed, "Thank you for not allowing my Sister Tang Manni to go to the Spiritas Tower…"

With a broken and yet sorrowful voice, the Goddess Ai Tina said to Xu Yifei. "You must promise me to let me who is the True Devil God before the end of the trias lof the Spiritas Tower. This is our only hope... please promise me..."

Xu Yifei was quiet.

It was because she did not want to betray Ji Yuan for any reasons.

No matter what, she had already decided to shoulder on this fight on her own and she did not want to trouble Ji Yuan further.
