The Romantic Cultivator

A stunned Ji Yuan was now dragging his body to where Hua Xunzi had fallen while Bai Qianfeng had gently dropped behind him with a light tiptoe.

A remorseful Ji Yuan had now fallen to his knees and he was bowing next to the mangled remain of Hua Xunzi’s dead body; she had died a most horrible death when she was twisted to death by the Demonic High Immortal Ena and also because she had used her body to buy Ji Yuan some precious time.

Ji Yuan slammed his fists onto the ground next to her and he was angrily saying with hot tears in his golden eyes, “This is my fight. I don’t need you to help me…”

Although he had said that but he also knew that she had brought him the precious time until Bai Qianfeng could appear to deal with the Demonic High Immortal Ena.

Ji Yuan lamented loudly, “You don’t ever deserve to die…”

And he was grasping her hand tightly as he had said that.

But all of a sudden he could feel a little vital life energies in her and when he saw that she still had a little life in her, he began to panicky infused his life force energies into her.

Hua Xunzi’s twisted neck began to open her eyes as she weakly said, “Ji… Yuan? I don’t deserve your concern … I am just a wanton maiden…”

Ji Yuan knew that his profound energies were not going to help but he continued to persist; her injuries were simply too fatal to be healed.

“No, you are not a wanton maiden… I don’t see it this way… listen to me; you are a golden celestial, a great saintess, are you going to just die in this manner?!”

He was just lying to himself; when a golden celestial had broken their fatal golden body, it was extremely fatal to their cultivation core and it was also beyond any hope of repair.

If his neck was twisted like her, he would have died instantly and moreover Hua Xunzi also had her body twisted by the Demonic High Immortal Ena.

Ji Yuan said panicky and his eyes were shimmering hot with his tears, “Listen, you got to muster all your profound strength for healing. As long as you live, it doesn’t matter if you lose your cultivation strength. With your talent, it is only a matter of time before you can cultivate it back to the great saintess level…”

Hua Xunzi forced a smile, “Silly… I won’t die…”

Ji Yuan interrupted with a loud cry, “You should not talk but focus all your mental will for your healing instead. I know that you are just trying to comfort me…”

He turned to look at alluring figure of Bai Qianfeng who was behind him and said, “Qianfeng, can you do anything to help her? You are an immortal. Surely you can help her? Where are your immortal profound treasures?”

Bai Qianfeng displayed a look at surprise at Ji Yuan, “Help her? Why should I?”𝒐𝒱𝓁xt.𝐜𝑜𝑚

Ji Yuan stammered, “She is a friend of mine… so you have to help her.”

Bai Qianfeng shrugged her shoulders to leap and flash to where Zhi Jiugong was; this only took her a split second. In just a blink of an eye, she had moved a mile away and she had echoed. “Why should I? I can’t help her.”

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Xiang Li was startled: Big Brother, did our Qianfeng just leave like this?

Fairy Anyang weakly said: She sure did. Therefore it is obvious to even an immortal that it is hopeless to save Hua Xunzi now and our lord here doesn’t even have any heaven-defying profound treasures to prolong her life.

Ji Yuan sighed softly: You have all misunderstood Qianfeng. She means to say that it is better to give her a clean and painless death…

Fairy Anyang asked curiously: So you will give her a clean and painless death then?

Xiang Li muttered weakly: My Big Brother is going to kill an innocent? This won’t do. She just saved your life…

Ji Yuan frowned as he tried to suppress the hot tears that were in his heart: Do you think that I will be so cruel? I am going to be a romantic cultivator of course and see her through the end of her life…

With that he had caught hold of Hua Xunzi and said gently to her, “Maiden Hua Xunzi, you have lost your life because of me. There is nothing that I can say to you that can allow me to relate my emotions to you. But since you have saved me and you are now dying in front of my eyes, I shall make you into my consort to be part of my clan and I shall remember this day forever…”

Hua Xunzi was startled as she interrupted weakly, “I am only your consort because… I have saved your life? Then I… don’t want to be your consort… saving you is because you have given me a hope, that’s all… and also…”

“Don’t say anymore!” Ji Yuan had interrupted her angrily and he was wailing out loud, “I take you as my consort because I like you and not because you have saved me! Don’t you understand my heart?”

Xiang Li was also sobbing: Big Brother is so impressive when he is acting to be a romantic cultivator.

Fairy Anyang was smiling weakly: Our lord doesn’t look like he was actually acting.

Hua Xunzi was startled as she stared at Ji Yuan, “Really…”

Ji Yuan said firmly as he trembled, “Really. I swear by my soul sea!”

Hua Xunzi was suddenly flushing and she had found the added profound strength that she had needed to display her secret profound skill; this time round it was much quicker than before.

Right in front of Ji Yuan, she was suddenly twisting her form back to her original form and was like a doll.

Ji Yuan blinked his eyes and was stunned.

He had suddenly realized why Bai Qianfeng had suddenly left when she spotted her giggling with Zhi Jiugong behind.

Bai Qianfeng had actually left because she had found it weird that Hua Xunzi still had so much vital life energies in her and that she must be practicing some unknown skill. As she was a high level soul immortal, her divine sense could actually read that much.

She had never thought that Hua Xunzi would die but it was amusing to see Ji Yuan over-reacting so she had left to giggle with Zhi Jiugong as they watched what would happen next.

And true enough, Hua Xunzi had reshaped to her original form and she could even repair the cracks of her golden body and her meridians.

This stunned Ji Yuan…

As Hua Xunzi got up, she was greatly flustered; she did try to tell Ji Yuan that she won’t die but he had kept interrupting her…

Xiang Li giggled: I think that Big Brother just got himself a new consort…
