The Romantic Cultivator

Divine Consort Tang Manni had lifted two spirit talismans in front of her and an armored helmed guardian was displayed.

The spirit talismans that she had just displayed was not an offensive one but two defensive talismans. 

“Sister Yifei, Your Goddess. I will be your profound defense against her!”

There was a strong determination in her alluring beautiful eyes.

But this was also this strong determination in her alluring beautiful eyes that caused the Goddess Ai Tina to be sorrowful.

It was because this had reminded her of her mother consort Tang Li that had also displayed this same unyielding determination when she had first ascended to the Greater Spirit Realm before being tortured by the 6 Supreme Divine Gods.

And today, her daughter had the same determination to protect a sinful immortal goddess like her?

The Goddess Ai Tina felt that she could not be able to repay this debt to both mother and daughter…

All of a sudden, she had displayed two talismans at their vulnerable back of Tang Manni and Xu Yifei that exploded thunderously at their back before flooring them to the ground! 

This stunned all the onlookers and even Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao looked a little startled.

Tang Manni and Xu Yifei were naturally the most startled when the Goddess Ai Tina had suddenly attacked them and causing their readied profound attacks to dissipate all of a sudden.

The Goddess Ai Tina said before they could even ask her for an explanation, “The two of you are wounded. You should back off immediately.”

When she had said that she had used her profound animus to throw them to where Maiden Flower Ju was! 

“No!” Xu Yifei was shocked as she gasped weakly, “You can’t fight her alone!”

Tang Manni was also looking with great disbelief, “With the 3 of us together, we can win this fight…”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao did not say anything but waited; it was because she knows that the Goddess Ai Tina was merely trying to protect the two of them from being killed by her.

The Goddess Ai Tina said quietly to Number 1, “As you can see, I have two weak cultivators in my group. They are more of a hindrance than a good help.”

Xu Yifei, Tang Manni: …

Then the Goddess Ai Tina turned to smile at them, “Are you worrying for your goddess? I still have a trump card that I didn’t use yet. So, I won’t be defeated by this Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao.”

Xu Yifei looked doubtful, “Really?”

The Goddess Ai Tina smiled as she displayed a glowing blue spirit talisman on her finger tips and immediately Xu Yifei, Tang Manni and all the others were startled that this blue spirit talisman contained an unimaginable soul power. 

Many of the more knowledgeable spirit cultivators were all gasping with shock as they recognized the type of spirit talisman that this blue spirit talisman belonged to.

“This is a soul talisman, and it is a powerful one…”

“I have never seen anything like this soul talisman before…”

“Our Goddess Ai Tina can win this battle…”

Even Xu Yifei and Tang Manni were startled by this blue glowing spirit talisman that the Goddess Ai Tina had just displayed.

The Goddess Ai Tina was sighing softly to herself; she had originally planned to use this special soul attack talisman on the True Devil God instead of Ji Yuan.

But it seemed to her that today it was no longer possible to hide her trump card…

This Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily was too formidable!

There was a movement in Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao’s eyes; even though she may not recognize what this spirit talisman was but she could sense an immerse profound power within and her instincts had warned her to be careful.

This time round, Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao broke her silence, “Very well then. We shall see who can survive this fight…”

All of a sudden, several cultivators could be seen in the sky above; they were Ji Yuan, Divine Consort Sun Dingjun, Divine Consort Ding Jie’Er, Divine Consort Dongfang Xin and the Goddess Destiny.

Tang Manni broke into a smile as she looked at her Sister Xu Yifei, “Everyone is here now…”

Ji Yuan was being lifted by Sun Dingjun and Dongfang Xin and as soon as he had landed with them, he chuckled. “I have heard that someone called Number 1 wants to challenge me to a duel?”

He was quickly followed behind by Ding Jie’Er and the Goddess Destiny. 

When he finally got a good look at Number 1, he was looking quite astonished because this Number 1 was really peerless in her looks and she looked too elegant to be a challenger. 

However, when he saw the leftover sword energies that were in the vicinity and the killing intentions that had come from her, he knows that she was a most terrifying challenger.

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao looked a little startled as well as she appraised Ji Yuan; this Ji Yuan was too beautiful looking to be a battle-hardened sword saint but when she saw his immortal scabbard on his back, she knows that he must be Ji Yuan. 

Ji Yuan frowned as he looked at the injured Xu Yifei, Tang Manni and the Goddess Ai Tina, “If you are just looking for me, you don’t have to fight the rest. So, leave them alone and come for me instead.”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao nodded with a cold smile, “Indeed. Now that you are here, we can finally have our fight.”

Ji Yuan turned to look at the Goddess Ai Tina, “This is my fight.”

The Goddess Ai Tina hesitated for a while but when she saw the Goddess Destiny also making a nod in her direction, she answered Ji Yuan. “Alright then.”

Destiny was smiling instead; maybe this time round, a real opponent would be able to ‘finish off’ this ‘master’ of hers. 

If anyone knows what she was thinking, they would be shocked too.

Ji Yuan said aloud to Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao, “Before we fight, do you think we ought to have a proper introduction first?”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao smiled coldly, “I am Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily. I know who you are. You are Ji Yuan.”𝞸𝐕𝗅xt.𝒸𝒪𝓂

Ji Yuan grinned, “You may know that I am Ji Yuan but not my celestial title.”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “So what is your title?”

Ji Yuan chuckled, “I am known as the Number 2 Sword of the Heavens. The reason why I am known as such is because there is no Number 1 Sword of the Heavens after me.”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao: …

Many of the onlookers were now laughing; it was because it was obvious that Ji Yuan was slapping this Number 1 with his title.

Even Tang Manni could not suppress a smile while Ding Jie’Er was giggling with Sun Dingjun.

There was an intense atmosphere earlier but Ji Yuan seemed to lift this intense pressure all of a sudden with his remarks.

Xiang Li warned Ji Yuan: Big Brother, pride comes before a fall. You shouldn’t have taunted her.

Anyang was also saying: I totally agree with Xiang Li here…

But Ji Yuan did not appear to hear them in his soul sea.

Instead, he continued with a grin, “I don’t understand it. Why are you looking for me? What the reason?”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao displayed a wry smile, “Nothing. I’ve simply heard that you are the number 1 sword cultivator in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity and that is why I have come here to look for you as well as to pick a fight with all the other renowned sword saints in the Celestial Realm.”

Ji Yuan began to frown, “This is the reason?!”

He had thought that he may have accidentally offended this Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao, somewhere in his cultivation history. 

But Ji Yuan was no stranger to duels and he kinda understand why she was pointing her sword at him. 

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao raised her scabbard, “So we can fight now?”

Ji Yuan had suddenly raised his three fingers, “Not yet. Wait for 3 incense time first.”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao: …

“Why?”

Ji Yuan frowned, “Because I am not ready yet.”

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao: …

All the onlookers: …
