Novel Full Chapter 496 False Hope Or Hope? (1)
It had taken Ji Yuan some time to find Ling Feiyue and Little Princess profound signatures among the thousands of towering monuments that were all as tall as mountains.
And when he did, he saw that they were chatting with each other instead of meditating the profound mysteries of the cultivation cave.
He had naturally entered with Yu Jingjing and Yang Mi.
When Ling Feiyue saw him, she was naturally displeased immediately. Not because of him but that Yu Jingjing and Yang Mi were cuddling very close to him; it was as though they were his lovers.
Ling Feiyue had a mix reaction when she saw Yang Mi, “Not Yang Mi too. You don’t even spare the injured.”
As for Little Princess, she just lowered her glances but were smiling enthrallingly and not bothering. However Ji Yuan had remembered that she had told him to enjoy himself before she had left. Therefore she may have already guessed what would have happened.
There was a sense of comfort when Ji Yuan saw Little Princess again. She had rarely made her feelings known and she was game for whatever Ji Yuan would like her to do. For example, when he had suggested that Ling Feiyue, Xue Qianxue and her had a foursome with him, she did not resist the thought at all.
JI Yuan knew that she was just trying to redeem herself from the past but he was missing her old wild side and the arrogant Little Princess.
But he quickly cast thoughts of Little Princess away, laughing weakly to Ling Feiyue, “Don’t misunderstood. They are both grateful to me for my aid…”
“Oh? The one that provides profound healing pills is Little Princess and the one that heals Yang Mi with her profound energy is also Little Princess. So what did you actually do? Help her with your hand massage?” Ling Feiyue hummed.
Even Yang Mi had spoken out, “My lord Ji Yuan, didn’t you say that Jingjing and I will be your consorts?”
Yu Jingjing was also nodding as she hugged Ji Yuan’s left arm even tighter, “Jingjing will always follow you from now onward.”
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
“Erm, this is not what you all think…”
But he quickly surrendered as he said weakly, “You are all my consorts. Happy now? Shall we get to the real topics?”
Ling Feiyue alluring countenance began to hum softly but she did not forget to mention to Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing, “Welcome to the harem.”
Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were also smart as they quickly began to shower Ling Feiyue with praises.
“Sister Consort Ling Feiyue, you are more beautiful than us…”
“We are nothing comparable to you…”
“We can only be Ji Yuan’s concubines while like Little Princess, you are his true consort…”
“We are a little unwilling at first but Ji Yuan has forced himself on us…”
Ji Yuan interrupted their praises finally when he had heard the last praise that was muttered and he had displayed an ugly look, “This is ridiculous? Who forces upon who, is still a who you knows question.”
But he quickly said as he looked at Little Princess, “Senior Mo Bei will be coming very soon with Qin Shuang…”
“And you want me to tell you if they have been turned into a living furnace or an evil dual cultivator, am I right?” Little Princess had quickly said.
Ji Yuan nodded with a soft sigh, “The worse scenario that I can accept is that Qin Shuang is a living furnace and not an evil dual cultivator. I really do not want Qin Shuang to be an evil dual cultivator…”
Little Princess, Ling Feiyue and Yu Jingjing were all nodding; they knew that Qin Shuang had given Ji Yuan a lot of tips to survive the 404 Fallen Relic Trial not too long ago.
“And one more thing.” Ji Yuan actually had a sour look when he had said that. “I saw Maiden Qin Shuang and Mo Bei together just now.”
Ling Feiyue and Little Princess were startled as they said at the same time, “They are together as a couple?”
Ji Yuan answered, “That I do not know. I am afraid that Senior Mo Bei is a victim just like Xiao Mohan.”
When he had said that, there was a sadness in his eyes.
Little Princess began to look away because she had recognized the sorrow in his eyes. The art of the evil dual cultivation was really too much in Ji Yuan’s eyes and he wanted to eliminate them.
Many of the cultivators did not oppose dual cultivation because it is able to nourish the yin and yang of the cultivators at the same time and they can cultivate together as a couple.
However the evil dual cultivation art is another thing; it only benefits the one who is cultivating and destroys the victim cultivation. Also both the cultivator and the victim would become very promiscuous.
Ling Feiyue knew by now that Hua Yingxiong was a living furnace and she had discussed with Little Princess earlier on this. As a living furnace, that could mean that Hua Yingxiong had been secretly targeting her and the other maidens. It was no wonder he was appearing to be so humble and friendly. Many of the maidens, including Ling Feiyue already had a good impression of him and they were upset that Ji Yuan had been ‘bullying’ him.
She found herself saying, “Qin Shuang must have…”
Everyone was quiet now because they all knew that Qin Shuang had probably been sleeping with many men by now.
Yang Mi was muttering and she was teary, “That was supposed to be my fate tonight…we must help her…”
Ji Yuan did not want to hurt Qin Shuang too…
He got nothing to do with living furnace because they were victims themselves. He had only killed Hua Yingxiong because he had shown no remorse and he was trying to lay his hands on Yang Mi.
Ji Yuan finally broke the silence, “I will try to help Maiden Qin Shuang. As for Senior Mo Bei, he is just a lusty old man. I will kick him so badly that he will never dare to touch another maiden in his life…”
All of a sudden he had paused because he could sense two cultivators moving upward the stairs outside and they were reaching the cave very soon.
And he had recognized Mo Bei loud voice as he shouted, “Ji Yuan! Ji Yuan! Little Princess! Little Princess!”
In a short while Mo Bei and Qin Shuang had indeed arrived into the cave.
And Mo Bei was still his usual self while Qin Shuang was standing with lower glances.

Mo Bei was giving Ji Yuan and Little Princess an anxious look and he was saying with great righteous, “I actually didn’t want to come here and I don’t believe in what you are saying. In fact, Maiden Qin Shuang will be my consort to be.”
Ji Yuan’s jaws dropped, “You are marrying Maiden Qin Shuang?”
Mo Bei nodded angrily, “Why can’t I? Or you are thinking of feasting my Qin Shuang with your dirty mind and hands?”
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
I am going to kick you now…
Little Princess suddenly said as she interrupted Ji Yuan and Mo Bei, “Senior Mo is fine. He isn’t a living furnace. As for Maiden Qin Shuang, she is actually a living furnace…”
Then she become very solemn as she added, “There are many, many restrictions that are on her. She can’t speak or to give us any hints. She can’t even give us any hints be it gestures, writings or riddles. The person that put such a restriction on her must really be extremely vicious.”
She began to sigh, “You can tell that Maiden Qin Shuang must really be most unwilling or else there won’t be so many restrictions that are on her.”
Mo Bei was still in a state of denial and he was saying, “This isn’t true. You shouldn’t be able to know unless…”
He was suddenly looking at Little Princess and he was about to say that she would not be able to know unless she was an evil dual cultivator herself. But at the last minute, he did not say it aloud.
Instead he said aloud, “So what if Maiden Qin Shuang is a living furnace? I will still take care of her and will feed her my primeval yang. I have many yang essence hoho.”
Qin Shuang was teary when she had heard Mo Bei and she had long fallen in love with him. But she was afraid that he may despise her when he had learnt of the truth. Moreover she was not any chaste maiden now…
But Mo Bei was very firm and resolute on this, not only Ji Yuan could see it but everyone else could also see it. And he continued to say, “The Mo Clan has the Dream Trial and I can cleanse her with the Dream Trial of the Mo Clan!”
“That’s nice.” Ji Yuan said. “But do you have a billion high grade spirit stones or other similar profound treasures? How much does the Mo Clan still have? Are all the elders as willing as you? Have you been inside the Dream Trial?”
Mo Bei was suddenly caught dumbfounded by Ji Yuan, “I…I…erm…”
It was because Ji Yuan was given the right to enter the Dream Trial by Diviner Mo Ming insistence that he was the future savior and he could affect the destiny of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. Even then, elders like Mo Bei were opposed to allow him to enter the Dream Trial, citing high costs that they could not afford. And Diviner Mo Ming was even their Grand Patriarch and he had to join hands with Xue Qianxue to persuade everyone.
When Ji Yuan had thought of this, he was smiling secretly: Even if Jiajia is from a powerful influence, she still could not be able to enter the Dream Trial like Xue Qianxue and him. This was one area that he was superior to her!
Little did he know that Jiajia had already paid the one billion high grade spirit stones and she had recently completed the Dream Trial.
Mo Bei suddenly asked, “How?!”
Ji Yuan said weakly to him, “Are you sure you are asking the right person here? Even my best friend Xiao Muhan is also a living furnace. I can’t even save him. How do you expect me to save Maiden Qin Shuang?”
Ji Yuan and everyone else was quiet too.
After some time, Ji Yuan began to say quietly in a most cold and logical way, “Give her up. Or you will never be able to become a peaked great saint and ascend to the Immortal Realm.”
Ling Feiyue was upset with him, “Ji Yuan you!”
Ji Yuan did not want to say this. But he was his own sectarian leader and he was often forced to say all the bad things that others did not want to hear. That was why he was always the strict and inflexible sectarian leader in the eyes of Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan. And he knew that most of his protégés did not like him too but someone had to be the bad guy that was willing to tell the hard truth.
So he answered Ling Feiyue, “So you want to lock her up like a prisoner? Or allow Mo Bei’s latent talent to waste away? Also don’t forget that we are in the midst of a trial too.”
Dream Mist had suddenly appeared in the cave, startling everyone.
It was because no one had detected her presence till now.
Behind her veil, her alluring misty eyes that seemed to sparkle with the stars seemed to have an irresistible pull on everyone.
She walked gently into the cave before she stopped at Qin Shuang and softly whispered, “Don’t worry, you will be fine.”
Then she had tapped Qin Shuang’s shoulder with a meaningful glance.
Qin Shuang answered, “Thank you for your concern but Qin Shuang will not harm Senior Mo Bei and I will leave the group…”
All of a sudden she was gasping with shock for she had suddenly said what was on her mind to everyone.
Even Little Princess was blinking her eyes, “This is impossible. Qin Shuang cultivation soul core is no longer impure… she is no longer a living furnace now…”
