The Romantic Cultivator



The banquet that was held in honor for Ji Yuan was not a big one but it was still several hundreds of guests big. 

Ji Yuan was actually expecting for it to be smaller. 

However, the 5 divine consorts had to invite the noble spiritas maidens that were their followers as it was only proper and moreover, all these spiritas noble maidens were eager to look at Ji Yuan.

Not all of these noble spiritas maidens were presented at the Divine Temple as some of them had duties elsewhere such as at the colosseums and guarding their divine consorts' villas. 

But tonight, they had all turned up in force for the banquet that was to be given to the honor of Ji Yuan.

This was a banquet that none of them would want to miss or it would be too shameful to tell the others that they did not attend it in the future! 

So, there were many Spirit Consorts, Fairy Concubines and Spirit Concubines as well.

As Xu Yifei was the Great Divine Consort, the highest ranked divine consort and also the host, she was naturally accorded the highest seat of position in this banquet.

As for the other 4 divine consorts, Tang Manni, Dongfang Xin, Sun Dingjun and Ding Jie'Er, they were accorded seats of honor that placed them together with Ji Yuan and Destiny. 

Also in the seats of honor were Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing, Chu Lixue the Smiling Divine Maiden and Xiao Muhan; they were after all Ji Yuan's friends; they were given the lower upper seats, just below the divine consorts.

As for the rows of seats below them, it was arranged according to the noble ranks of the spiritas maidens. 

Maiden Flower Ju was a Spirit Concubine and she was sitting far behind but she did not mind at all; in fact, she was busy gossiping to the other noble spiritas maidens that know her as the housekeeper of the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei and they were all asking her about Ji Yuan. 

She naturally knows plenty of gossips about Ji Yuan since she almost seen him on a daily basis while he was here and she was only too glad to share about his gossips to the others.

Almost everyone presented today was quite curious to know what was Ji Yuan's surprise and they were gossiping about it. 

Before the banquet, even Yu Jingjing, Yang Mi and Chu Lixue had pestered Ji Yuan about this surprise and he merely laughed. "Haha… do you know why the Goddess Destiny has asked me for a private conversation? It is because she is interested in Xiao Muhan. So my surprise is to announce their nuptial ties together in this banquet."

But Chu Lixue quickly said, "You are lying for sure. Do you want Xiao Muhan to die horribly by doing that?"

Ji Yuan had grinned, "You will know very soon if I'm telling the truth later. Haha…"

But no matter how they tried to pester Ji Yuan or even Xiao Muhan, these two men refused to tell them anything. 

Their replies were always, "Wait for the banquet and you'll know."

And then the two of them mysteriously disappeared for the rest of the day in Xiao Muhan's room. 

Right now, the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei was now announcing the start of the banquet. "This banquet is held in honor of our Divine Lord Ji Yuan who is also our Great Spiritas Hero. For the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower, he has also received the title of the Great Champion to be the greatest champion in the 12 city-states of the in Northern Alliance Theology Olympiad…"

"We are honored that Divine Lord Ji Yuan is actually from our Snowy Pavilion City and he represents us…"

Many of the noble spiritas maidens were giggling and clapping for Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was a little overwhelmed by so many beautiful maidens that were looking at him with great adulations and he raised his hands to wave at them. 

Xiang Li was also overwhelmed: Wow, Big Brother. You have so many maidens in your harem now.

Ji Yuan weakly said: They are not my harem. What are you thinking about?

Anyang was also weakly saying: Xiang Li, what are you thinking about?

Xiang Li giggled: After you have banged them, they will be in your harem. Big Brother, you got 5 days to bang them all.

Ji Yuan: …

Go and die, Xiang Li.

Xu Yifei gently turned to Ji Yuan with an enticing smile, "Do you have anything to say to everyone here?"

Ji Yuan saw that Xu Yifei was dressed really beautiful today and he almost had a surge of hot blood in him as he looked at her.

It was not just Xu Yifei but the other 4 divine consorts were dressed quite beautiful and seductively too. 

This caused Ji Yuan to almost unable to sit still while he was constantly looking at their beautiful figures in front of him.

But first he had to answer Xu Yifei as he laughed jovially, "I have a present to give to the 5 divine consorts. Haha…"

When he had said that, Xu Yifei, Tang Manni, Ding Jie'Er, Sun Dingjun and Dongfang Xin were all startled as they almost muttered together, "A present for us?"

Ji Yuan stood up as he walked in front of the 5 divine consorts and from his spatial belt, he had displayed a large painting that showed him with the 5 divine consorts.

This painting was really vivid and very beautiful; in fact, it looked extremely profound as though the figures were all living.

In this painting, Ji Yuan was sitting on a throne and he was being surrounded by the 5 divine consorts in a seductive manner. 

All 5 of the divine consorts were gasping with shock and happiness as they viewed this profound master piece painting which was more beautiful than any painting that they had seen before. 

Ji Yuan chuckled softly, "My Brother Xiao Muhan and I have spent some time on this painting. I hope the 5 divine consorts will like it."

Xiao Muhan grumbled softly, "This Rascal Ji Yuan sure has plenty of suggestions…"

He was wondering if he may be killed instead because the way Ji Yuan wants the painting to be, was a little too ridiculous and it may be demeaning to the divine consorts. 

But to his relief, the 5 divine consorts seemed to like this painting. He had better not tell them what Ji Yuan was saying to him when he had asked for the painting to be in this way; he did not want to die yet by telling them that Ji Yuan thought that all the 5 divine consorts were treating him like a king and that they were all desiring him with their eyes. 

He had warned Ji Yuan but Ji Yuan was stubborn to insist that he was right. Since he was his customer and he had paid him good, Xiao Muhan did not want to argue with him. 

Ji Yuan took a quick look at Xiao Muhan when he was displaying the extraordinary beautiful painting as he said silently: Thank you Brother Xiao Muhan…

Xiao Muhan is the Saint of Painting. Together with Ji Yuan, they are known as the Two Brushes in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. Although his cultivation sucks, but he is truly renowned for his extraordinary painting and he can be considered as the number 1 painter even in the entire Celestial Realm.

Ji Yuan turned to look at the 5 divine consorts one by one, "Erm, I hope that you like my painting for you."

Xu Yifei lowered her eyes with a flustered look, "Yes, I like it very well…"

Tang Manni covered her mouth, "Master Ji Yuan, do you mean this? I love it very much…"

"Yuan Beluga, you have me in your heart?" Ding Jie'Er gasped softly. 

Even Dongfang Xin and Sun Dingjun were bleary eyed as they gasped together, "I… like this… painting…" 

Ji Yuan was pleased that they liked this painting; it was meant to be his farewell gift to them once he had left this place to continue on his trial in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

Chu Lixue covered her face as she whispered to her Sister Yang Mi, "Why is that I have a bad feeling that Ji Yuan is sending the wrong signal with that painting? 

Yang Mi awkwardly whispered back, "Same here…"

Yu Jingjing weakly whispered to them, "Why is that I think this painting looks a little lewd in some ways?"

Yang Mi weakly whispered, "I think so as well. He may be a good poet but he may not be the best person to understand the paintings." 

While Ji Yuan was thinking that it was worth the 10 million spirit stones exorbitant price that he had paid but he had to admit that Xiao Muhan was really a master painter. Just looking at this painting, he felt so good to have the 5 beautiful divine consorts with him.

Many of the noble spiritas maidens were all clapping, praising or were envious that they were not in this extraordinary beautiful painting!

"This is an extraordinary beautiful painting with our divine consorts and Divine Lord Ji Yuan inside..."

"Divine Lord Ji Yuan looks so stateful in this beautiful painting..."

"Our divine consorts seem to be in praise of Divine Lord Ji Yuan in this painting..."

"I wish that I can be inside this beautiful painting as well..." 

Unknown to everyone, the more praises that were heaped upon this beautiful painting, the angrier Destiny was and there was a twitch in her beautiful eyes. 

All of a sudden, Destiny had suddenly slammed her table as she said unhappily. "Why am I not inside the painting?"

Her sudden bad mood stunned Ji Yuan, the 5 divine consorts and everyone who were all staring blankly at her.

Ji Yuan was the most perplexed: Erm, why should you be inside this painting?

He had commissioned this painting as the 5 divine consorts had been taking care of him while he was in this place. While things may not be good with them at the very start except for Xu Yifei, he had fond memories of this place and with them. That was why he had wanted to leave behind a painting with them behind. 

Destiny was now staring coldly at Ji Yuan now and was demanding an explanation with her eyes.

Her sudden displeasure had stunned everyone and ruined everyone's mood.

But this was their Great Oracle and no one dared to be disrespectful to her. 

It was not only Ji Yuan but the 5 divine consorts were all weakly looking at one another as though they were asking: Why should the Great Oracle be included in this painting that are meant for us?

To them, this painting meant that Ji Yuan is professing his love for them and it may even mean that Ji Yuan may be dropping them a hint that he would take all of them as his consorts.

So to include Destiny in this painting looked a little ridiculous in their eyes.
