The Romantic Cultivator

Maiden Flower Ju had quietly taken Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan to a splendid room in the top upper floor.

There were at least a dozen attractive maidens that were quieting standing at all corners of the floor that led to this splendid room. 

These attractive maidens lowered their heads humbly and did not flinch or even look when Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan had walked past them.

Ji Yuan muttered, “Your mistress is waiting in this room for us?”

Maiden Flower Ju slowly nodded and said, “My mistress is behind the curtains in this room.”

Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan were both startled; it was because they could not sense the presence of anyone in this room!

A soft melody voice began to say from behind the curtains, “Lift the curtains. I want to look at these two men.”

Maiden Flower Ju began to pull the curtains slowly to reveal an astonishing beautiful maiden that was lying sideway in front of the curtains and she had a hand resting on the side of head. 

This astonishing beautiful maiden had a mixture of gold and blue eyes as well as a pink sigil on her forehead. 

She looked frail though but unlike the other maidens, her modesty was carefully concealed by her flimsy transparent robe. 

Maiden Fairy Ju quickly said, “This is my mistress the Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei. She is also the owner of this tavern.”

Ji Yuan laughed heartily when he saw that ‘this mistress’ was actually such a great beauty and he began to introduce himself, “I am Ji Yuan.”

Xiao Muhan was also eager to hit it off with this Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei and he quickly introduced himself, “I am Xiao Muhan.”

Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei inspected them for a while before she smiled, “Please forgive my weak health. The two of you seem humble. Do you really like the Magnificent Spirit King Fish dish?”

Ji Yuan grinned, “Oh that. It is delicious. I’ve never eaten anything this great.”

“Same here!” Xiao Muhan proclaimed. “It is just too heavenly!”

Actually Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan were not lying; it was because they truly enjoyed the dish earlier. Or rather, they had low culinary skills and they stayed in the poor regions of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. So any good food like the Magnificent Spirit King Fish dish was just too heavenly for them since they had never tasted better food than this in the past.

Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei took a moment to appraise them before smiling, “You have indeed been truthful. Naturally we only serve the best profound dishes in my tavern here.”

Ji Yuan chuckled as he looked at this frail but astonishing beautiful maiden. “How dare anyone speaks ill of the food in your tavern. You know. Just ignore that cultivator just now and don’t pay too much attention to his complaints. He is just someone that isn’t worth your time.”

Xiao Muhan was also smiling, “With a beautiful mistress like you in this tavern, who dares to say anything bad about the food here? Hehe…”

Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei curiously asked, “But what if that man is right?”

Ji Yuan immediately answered with a chuckle, “How could he be right? One look and I know that he isn’t even a profound culinary expert. He is just talking rubbish here….”

“I bet that he is being sent here by your rivals to ruin you! If I were you, I shall chop him into pieces and feed him to the fishes…” Xiao Muhan quickly raised his voice to interrupted Ji Yuan. 

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes to look sheepishly at Xiao Muhan and he was cursing silently: Bruh. You didn’t happen to see the black ring that is on him, do you? He is actually one of us… you are way too overboard with your curses…𝑂𝑣𝐿xt.𝔠𝓞𝑀

Concubine Xu Yifei turned to Ji Yuan with a wry smile, “What do you think is a fitting punishment for him then?”

Ji Yuan quickly answered with a chuckle, “Feeding him to the fishes is just too good for the fishes. If I were you, I would surely put him into a company of depraved men. This will teach him not to open his vicious mouth in the future. Haha.”

Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei smiled, “I don’t think I can find any depraved men. How about depraved desolate beasts instead?”

Ji Yuan laughed aloud, “This is even better than my own idea. Haha…”

Concubine Xu Yifei smiled more beautiful than ever, “If only everyone is as considerate as the two of you then this place would be a happier place.”

Just then, the extremely beautiful maiden with the long pony hair that had earlier appeared downstairs was now back and she was giggling to Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei, “Mistress, I have settled him already.”

Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei looked a little disappointed before she returned a soft sigh, “This Master Ji Yuan here says it is better to thrown him into a company of depraved desolate beasts. I actually think that this is a good idea.”

The extremely beautiful maiden began to frown as she turned to stare at Ji Yuan, “I think it is already a little too late…”

She had turned to see that Ji Yuan was also staring back at her or rather her body and she lit a curled smile in return, “Is there anything wrong? Why are you staring at me like this?”

Actually, it was not only Ji Yuan that was staring at her but Xiao Muhan as well. 

Ji Yuan quickly tried to explain but in a rather weak manner, “I am just wondering if I am worthy to know what the name of maiden is?”

He was actually wondering if the profound slips that were on her would suddenly be loosened and she would be ‘accidentally’ exposing herself in front of him.

At least, that was what had happened in many of the cultivation stories that he had read in the past. 

And Xiao Muhan was indeed his brother; the two of them were precisely thinking about the same thing as well. 

And of course, Ji Yuan was also thinking it would be great if she was his maiden and he would be pulling her pony hair as she blows for him…

It was actually not wrong to say that this extremely beautiful maiden was actually more beautiful than even Concubine Xu Yifei herself. 

Moreover, Concubine Xu Yifei looked fragile.

But this extremely beautiful maiden on the other hand looked energetic and even bubbly; moreover she also looked approachable. 

So naturally Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan were both thinking: It is not our fault that you have chosen to flash in front of us. I am actually a man of culture…

Ji Yuan added one word silently: Since I am a ‘great saint’ then I am definitely a man of ‘great’ culture too…

The extremely beautiful maiden with the long pony tail began to giggle softly and she started to roll her beautiful golden eyes, “But I don’t even know what your names are…”

“Ji Yuan!”

“Xiao Muhan!”

The extremely beautiful maiden took a look at Concubine Xu Yifei before turning to smile at Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan, “My name is Maiden Han Muyuan. I am pleased to know you.” 

Xiao Muhan was grinning with delight as he promptly chuckled, “Maiden Han Muyuan, I am pleased to know your name. Your name is indeed as beautiful as you!”

Ji Yuan on the other head was smiling in a rather bitter way; it was because when she had reported her name to them, he had suddenly realized that she had simply taken all their names together and had pieced it together. This was a trick that he had used in the past…

But he continued to grin awkwardly and quickly said, “Beautiful name! Beautiful name!”

The extremely beautiful maiden took a look at Ji Yuan before smiling, “You seem less enthusiastism than earlier.”

Ji Yuan: …

He quickly protested, “Of course not! I am just shy! Hahaha… in fact, I want to ask your mistress if she can give your hand to me as consort. Hahaha…”

“What the heck…” Xiao Muhan was stunned, “Ji Yuan, are you an ugly toad that is lusting after a swan?”

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes to Xiao Muhan to growl, “Who are you calling an ugly toad? You old goat.”

Xiao Muhan growled angrily, “I am an old goat now?!”

Ji Yuan was secretly glad that he was being distracted by Xiao Muhan and he was actually quite alarmed that this extremely beautiful maiden looked a little too sharp for his liking.

The extremely beautiful maiden smiled to Ji Yuan, “Unfortunately, I am already married and can’t be given to your hands.”

Ji Yuan laughed, “Hahaha… this is most unfortunately… what a pity…”

While Ji Yuan was faking his disappointments, Xiao Muhan was looking really disappointed when he had learnt that Maiden Han Muyuan was married.

The extremely beautiful maiden giggled softly as she replied them with a wryly smile, “But fortunately, my mistress has been a widow for many years. If you are willing to accept a widow, then look no further.”

When Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei had heard her, there was a subtle look in her eyes as she looked at Ji Yuan up and down for a few times.

Finally, she answered nonchalantly. “I wonder if Master Ji Yuan has any cultivation partner?”

Ji Yuan was stunned when Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei had suddenly asked him this question.

Xiao Muhan was blinking his eyes when he stared at Ji Yuan and he was silently cursing him: Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei didn’t even ask me. How lucky you are…

Ji Yuan began to blink his eyes to say with a straight face, “Erm, I don’t have any cultivation partner?”

The extremely beautiful maiden began to look at Maiden Flower Ju and Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei at the same time…
