The Romantic Cultivator

Little Princess flashed in front of Ji Yuan. “Why did you spare that scum?”

Even Ling Feiyue was folding her arms with an unhappily look. “He tries to kill you, me and Qianxue. Have you forgotten about it?”

Little Princess and Ling Feiyue were not orthodox cultivators and they preferred a much harsher treatment of their enemies.

Shui Xisi may not be an unorthodox cultivator but she was never a softie. “Yea. Why didn’t you teach him a lesson?”

Ji Yuan turned around as he said casually to them. “It is all because he has a good daughter and his daughter is now with my son.”

Then he laughed aloud. “Haha. But this guy is definitely a scum and I don’t like him at all. “

“Then why?” Shui Xisi asked.

Even Mu Wan’Er was saying. “He is part of the group that wants to kill you inside the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth for sure. He can’t kill you now but he will try to kill you later when all the cultivators began to gather at the higher levels.”

Ji Yuan smiled as he explained. “Actually without Jin Yilong, I would never have met the first love of my life, Saintess Yuxian. At that time I did not know that she is actually Jian Yuluo…”

Little Princess interrupted. “Huh?! She is the first love of your life?! Then what about your ex-sweetheart? You are so dead drunk at that time because of her…”

Ji Yuan interrupted with a bitter laugh. “Actually our relationship isn’t supposed to last. She had always told me that one day she would leave the Five Heavens Peaks as the place is too poor for her to cultivate. She wanted a better future.”

Then his smiles got even bitter. “I had thought that I was in love with her but after I had met Yuxian, I have finally understood what love is.”

Shui Xisi could not resist a tease. “So what is love?”

Among the maidens, only Feng Minyue and she could be considered an outsider.

Ji Yuan smiled with fond memories. “Love has to be unconditioned. It did not work out with my ex-sweetheart because her heart isn’t with me in the first place.”

Ling Feiyue chuckled softly. “So is that why you’re never been attached all these years until recently?”

Ji Yuan frowned before he rolled his eyes to look at Little Princess who quickly averted her head away. Very slowly, he grinned. “Actually, I just cannot forget Yuxian. Haha.”

Little Princess hummed coldly. “Good answer.”

Ji Yuan laughed. “If I say something wrong, I am afraid that I will be dead overnight for sure.”

Little Princess: …

But all of a sudden Ji Yuan began to say solemnly. “The feud with Jin Yilong is only a small matter but if he pushes his hand then I won’t be so kind in the future. I just don’t want to put my son and future daughter-in-law in an awkward position. Moreover their children are going to going to address Jin Yilong as their grandfather and be his heirs as well.”

Then he rolled his eyes before saying. “However, I can’t party with Jin Yilong. He has to get out of here himself and what happens to him is none of my business…”

Feng Minyue giggled softly. “But you seem to be tricking him so that he would castrate himself. If you say that you are willing to forgive the feud between the two of you then is that so? You have lied to him.”

This was the rare moment that Feng Minyue had taken the initiative to speak. Most times, she had stayed away from Ji Yuan’s affairs and his chats with the other maidens in the party unless it was necessary for her to speak.

Ji Yuan frowned. “It is only a joke. Surely his intelligence isn’t that low as to really believe it?”

All the maidens: …

They were all thinking; it was obviously that Ji Yuan was not joking to Jin Yilong and he was seriously trying to fool him…

Ji Yuan added. “He tries to kill me and I am only making a joke to him. Can this even be considered to be a feud at all? I don’t think so. I am extremely forgiving person and is a gentleman of the sword.”

All the maidens: …

The maidens continued to think; it was obvious he was lying because there were clear hostilities in his eyes when he saw Jin Yilong…

Feng Minyue suddenly said. “You didn’t tell him who that person that his daughter has fallen in love with is actually your son, am I right?”

Then she added a wry smile. “You are letting him go because you want him to experience the shock of discovering that his daughter and your son is a couple. Why are you so mean?”

Ji Yuan laughed weakly as he displayed a guilty countenance. “Haha. Let’s go. It is getting later now….we still have a trial to complete…”

Why is Feng Minyue so smart?

Now her impression of me is going to take a big hit…

“This is sweet revenge and I like it.” Feng Minyue suddenly said all of a sudden, surprising Ji Yuan and interrupting his thoughts.

Ji Yuan began to smile weakly. “Is that so?”

“Not all revenge needs to be settled with the sword.” Feng Minyue casually replied. We are all superior cultivators here and we shouldn’t be picking up fights with the weaker cultivators because of petty feuds.”

Shui Xisi laughed. “That is true. Ji Yuan and Jin Yilong are merely friends with benefits.”

Ji Yuan: …

He immediately protested strongly. “I don’t regard Jin Yilong as a friend and there are no benefits between us.”

“Qianfeng, why didn’t you kill that desolate beast earlier? I’m sure that you can.” He quickly tried to distract the topic to Bai Qianfeng.

Qianfeng replied coolly. “Because I don’t want to give the merit points to Jin Yilong.”

If a desolate beast was killed nearby, all the other nearby cultivators would benefit from it by receiving merit points.

“Well, that is not the point. We should continue our hunt now.” Ji Yuan laughed weakly.

It took them less than a day before they had obtained the 10,000 merit points that were necessary to clear the trial.

The trial reward this time was not as awesome as before as Ji Yuan and his party were not the first to clear the trial and this trial was not exactly too hard for many of the high level cultivators to clear.

The trial reward was still reasonable rewarding and Ji Yuan got a rare fourth rank recovery profound pill as his reward.

After he had exited the reward portal, the other seven maidens had all exited at almost the same time as well.

Ji Yuan laughed warmly when he saw them exiting. “This trial is easy. I wonder what will the next trial will be?”

Everyone was nodding as they agreed with Ji Yuan as well as asking one another. “So what are your rewards?”

Chen Hanhan had a flustered look as she watched Ji Yuan quietly. She had never thought that she would be in a party full of geniuses and expert cultivators.

Basically she did not need to do much as all she did was to just follow them.

Even Mu Wan’Er was feeling a little guilty. She had never thought that she would clear a level three trial in such a short time.

And the two maidens began to idolize Ji Yuan even more as Ji Yuan asked. “So where are we now?”

In the meantime, elsewhere below the desolate mist;

Jin Yilong had taken out his divine sword with trembling fingers. He had finally decided to shave off his beard and to castrate himself because he was too afraid of dying inside the desolate mist.

Without a group to support him, he was really afraid now.

He was actually beginning to curse Ji Yuan for his good company. “I really don’t want to die in this place…”𝚘𝓥𝓛xt.𝒸𝔬𝑀
