The Romantic Cultivator

It was not too long later that Ji Yuan had found the estate where Divine Consort Tang Manni was supposed to be at. 

He had not known that Snowy Pavilion City was divided into the inner city and the outer city.

The outer city was where Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei’s tavern was while the roads of the inner city were bigger, cleaner and more spacious but less people around; it looked more like a huge private garden.

Snowy Pavilion City was really a huge city with more than a million people.

But at this moment, Ji Yuan looked a little confused and dejected. 

It was because he had never thought that Little Jie’Er was actually Divine Consort Ding Jie’Er herself and he really could not believe it. 

And he had badly screwed it up now

She was a free cultivation partner for him and he could gain his 100 Trust Points through her.

Xiang Li was sighing loudly, “I told you to pursue her but you didn’t. Now we are all screwed.”

Ji Yuan growled, “When did you ask me to pursue her in the first place? You have been asking me to screw all the beautiful maidens that we have met. Of course, I can’t do that. That is not part of my trial.”

Xiang Li asked, “Did I? Like? For example?”

Ji Yuan reminded Xiang Li, “Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei for example. Have you forgotten so fast?”

Xiang Li giggled, “She is an exception.”

Ji Yuan frowned, “Why so?”

Xiang Li chuckled, “Because she kisses you.”

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

“This reason is too lame. I’m not going to talk to you anymore, Xiang Li. You are totally unhelpful to me for my trial.”

Xiang Li giggled, “Because I am right. And you are wrong. So you’re not talking to me?”

Ji Yuan frowned, “You are never right…”

Xiang Li chuckled jovially, “Oh yes? I did tell you to go after Han Muyuan but you did not want to and you end up with -250 Trust Points…”

Ji Yuan: ..

Xiang Li continued to giggle, “And I did tell you to go after Little Jie’Er as well but you didn’t…”

Ji Yuan: …

Xiang Li giggled, “What if Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei is a divine consort in the future?”

Ji Yuan said coldly, “By the time Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei has become a divine consort, that will be 700 years later and we only have less than 70 days now.” 

Xiang Li pondered for a while, “Or because Big Brother can help find a miracle herb to help Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei to become a divine consort instead? Isn’t this a faster way to earn Trust Points…”

Ji Yuan interrupted, “I am the one that is doing the trial. I don’t need unhelpful tips from you.” 

He had decided to ignore Xiang Li for now because he had reached the estate where Divine Consort Tang Manni was supposed to be at and he did not want to seen talking to the air. 

And he was too distracted to enter his soul sea to talk to Xiang Li for now.

There were two dozen maidens that were guarding this estate and Ji Yuan saw a long white stone celestium that led upward to a villa on top.

As soon as he approached the gates of this estate, the two dozen maidens had immediately issued him a stern warning. “Go away. This place is not for you to visit!”

Ji Yuan quickly said, “Wait a minute! I am Ji Yuan and I am a friend of your divine consort. Even your divine consort has to call me Master Ji Yuan….”

The two dozen maidens were amused and they were laughing among themselves.

“Everyone is a friend of our divine consort but which one is truly her friend?”

“You are a man. And our divine consort doesn’t have a man as a friend.”

“Are you going away?”

“Or do you want to force us to teach you a lesson and thrown you into the dungeon?”𝒐𝗏𝓁xt.𝑐𝒪𝔪

Ji Yuan was blinking his golden eyes; he had suddenly realized that it was quite impossible to even meet Divine Consort Tang Manni. To think that he had so many opportunities in the past few days to interact with her but he had to screw it unknowingly.

All of a sudden a maiden had walked down the white celestium stairs, “What is the commotion about? Why are all of you here at the gate and not driving away the intruder?”

The two dozen maidens were startled as they quickly greeted, “Spirit Concubine Fay. This man doesn’t want to leave and we are about to teach him a lesson…”

All of sudden, Spirit Concubine Fay looked startled as she asked. “Master Ji Yuan?”

Ji Yuan was startled too but he had no idea who this maiden was.

However he quickly answered her, “Yes I am.”

Spirit Concubine Fay smiled, “You are in a new toga now and I almost can’t recognize who this beautiful man is.”

But she quickly said solemnly, “You may not remember me but I am a personal follower of our Divine Consort Tang Manni. I saw you a few times…”

Ji Yuan was thinking: There are always so many beautiful maidens around Tang Manni. It is hard to remember all of them…

Spirit Concubine Fay continued with a bitter smile, “So what do you want by coming here?”

Ji Yuan was also smiling bitterly, “Erm, I am here to apologize to Divine Consort Tang Manni. I hope that she would give me a chance to make an apology to her.”

Spirit Concubine Fay shook her head, “You are the last person that our divine consort wants to see. You have made her so sad these past days…”

Before she could finish, the two dozen maidens were all muttering with startled shock at the same time. “He is that man that makes our divine consort cries until now?! I want to kill him for our divine consort!”

Spirit Concubine Fay turned around to shout, “Silence!”

Then she turned to look at Ji Yuan, “Master Ji Yuan, you have heard them. Our divine consort has been in deep sorrows till now. Please go away.”

Ji Yuan was stunned as he stammered, “What did you say?! She has been crying till now?”

All of a sudden, he felt so guilty for hurting Divine Consort Tang Manni with his ugly words…

He cursed himself: I should have restricted myself. I actually did not want to hurt her in the future and that is why I need to be harsh with my words. Am I really wrong?

Left with no other choice, Ji Yuan began to sigh heavily and he was turned around to leave…

All of a sudden, Spirit Concubine Fay said from behind him. “Wait Master Ji Yuan. What if I were to let you in to talk to my divine consort?”

Ji Yuan was startled as he quickly turned his head around, “Really?”

He was literally jumping for joy.

Spirit Concubine Fay nodded with a smile, “Maybe you are the only one now that can comfort my divine consort. She is really very melancholic today and have been weeping nonstop.”

Ji Yuan quickly patted his chest with great delight, “Don’t worry! I will make her as cheerful as the sun today! Come, take me to her now!”

Xiang Li asked Ji Yuan: Big Brother, are you sure that she is not bringing you to be slaughtered or something, to avenge her divine consort?

But there was no answer from Ji Yuan because he had completely ignored Xiang Li for now.
