The Romantic Cultivator

Destiny had suddenly slammed the table with her hand and she was saying unhappily as she stared coldly at Ji Yuan, “Why am I not inside the painting?”

Not only was Ji Yuan startled by the sudden disruption to the jovial mood but all the divine consorts and everyone else was also startled too. 

Immediately the jovial chattering had died down as everyone was looking curiously at Ji Yuan and their Great Oracle.

Ji Yuan had actually asked Xiao Muhan to draw two copies of the same painting; one for himself of course and the other for the divine consorts. The one for himself was of course for his own guilt pleasure. 

Xiao Muhan had asked him repeatedly, “Are you sure that you want me to draw it this way? Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei has a higher noble rank than you. Shouldn’t she be in the middle instead of you? The way you want me to paint you in the center sounds like you are their lord instead. Aren’t you afraid that they may be angry with you?”

But Ji Yuan laughed instead, “They won’t be upset with me, especially Xu Yufei…”

The Xu Yifei that he knows is the gentlest maiden that he has ever met. Moreover, she had even tried to help him twice and he had even seen her naked twice.

This painting was his farewell painting for them as he knows their hearts for him.

So this was the reason why Destiny was not in the painting.

Moreover, if Ji Yuan had included her in the painting then won’t he courting his own death if Destiny realized that she was inferior to Ji Yuan in it? 

But Ji Yuan did not understand why the Goddess Destiny was so upset with him? 

Isn’t Xiao Muhan and her an item? 

Isn’t Xiao Muhan the True Devil God?

Didn’t she say that it is someone that you know quite well and she is afraid that she can’t tell me who he is. But I can make a guess?

All of a sudden Ji Yuan felt so dumb; does she mean that he is the True Devil God? 

It is because he had suddenly noticed that the Goddess Destiny did not even bother to take a look at Xiao Muhan and she had even told him about her past with the True Devil God. 

He was that ugly man?!

If not, why should she be upset that she was not in the painting? 

But he was not sure about this yet; he had to confirm with Xu Yifei later. 

Ji Yuan however did not want the jovial mood to be disrupted for the banquet so he quickly grinned to the Goddess Destiny, “Actually I have prepared a painting for you as well. It is just you and me. However, Xiao Muhan is still preparing for this painting so I am unable to show you this painting tonight.”

Destiny was startled as she blinked with surprise, “You have a painting for me as well?”

Ji Yuan nodded with a soft chuckle, “That is right. Haha…”

Then he quickly to the others as he cooked a story, “I have promised the Great Oracle to showcase her painting as well. But Xiao Muhan is too slow… I apologize for him. Haha…”

Xiao Muhan: …

You didn’t even ask me to draw a painting for the Great Oracle…

Destiny looked a little flustered as she realized that Ji Yuan was trying to find an excuse for her outburst and she felt a little bad now.

And she did not want all the blame to be on Ji Yuan too.

So she smiled to Ji Yuan, “I am only teasing you…”

Then she chuckled softly as she looked at divine consorts and the others, “What? Do you think that your Great Oracle is a goddess that do not know how to joke and is always serious?”

“This painting is indeed really very beautiful…”

She then had raised her cup of wine as she smiled, “Let me give a toast to Ji Yuan, all the divine consorts and all the spiritas noble maidens here today.”

When she had said that, all 5 of the divine consorts heaved a soft sigh of relief and they were all smiling now as they realized that the Great Oracle was only teasing all of them.

“So the Great Oracle is only pulling our legs and only teasing us…”

“Our Great Oracle is truly humorous…”

“Actually our Great Oracle has helped our Divine Lord Ji Yuan alot through her divinations and he should really commision the first painting for her instead…”

When everyone saw that Destiny was smiling and even toasting everyone, soon everyone was all chatting jovially again as they raised a toast to their Great Oracle with merry chatters. 

Ji Yuan had also raised a toast to the Goddess Destiny and he was looking quite relieved as he thought: I have better commission another painting from Xiao Muhan as quickly as possible or I am going to be dead very soon.

“A big toast to the Great Oracle for your help. If it isn’t for divinations of the Great Oracle, I won’t be standing in this place. Haha….” Ji Yuan laughed as he grinned and look in the direction of Destiny. 

Destiny was smiling as she looking intently at Ji Yuan and there was a slight flush in her countenance; in the past, the True Devil God would not look at her in this manner…

Ji Yuan was naturally being himself; the Goddess Destiny was naturally an astonishing beautiful maiden especially with her unsurpassed forbidden immortal air that further enhanced her already astonishing great beauty. 

Most great saint cultivators would not be able to look at her directly without being suppressed by her forbidden immortal air that was like a dizzling bright light and they would not dare to raise their heads to look at her without feeling some ill-effect as their cultivations were lacking. 

Xiao Muhan on the other hand was thinking: Brother Ji Yuan, the next painting will cost you 100 million spirit stones. You have no other choice than to beg me to help you or the Great Oracle will be unhappy with you…

Just as the atmosphere for the banquet was back to the jovial mood, a spiritas maiden had suddenly run hurriedly to the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei and said, “There are two maidens that are outside that say they know the Divine Lord Ji Yuan. They are a little too strong for us to stop them and they threaten to gatecrash into the tavern if we don’t invite them in soon.”

Xu Yifei was startled, along with the rest of the 4 divine consorts and the others.

Ji Yuan was also startled, “2 maidens? Who are they?”

Xu Yifei repeated Ji Yuan’s question and asked the spiritas maiden. “Did they leave behind their names?”

The spiritas maiden answered, “One is called Bai Qianfeng and the other is called the Little Princess.”

Chu Lixue gasped softly, “Senior Sister Qianfeng is also here…”

Ji Yuan was startled but he was also delighted at the same time and he said excitingly, “Quick! Invite them in! Haha…”

Bai Qianfeng and Little Princess are both his closest confidants! 

He did not have news of them in this place nor the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower but Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing had told them that the two of them had also entered the trial to look for him. 

Ji Yuan was very excited to see his Qianfeng again because he was still thinking of faking his own death and another opportunity had presented itself now.𝑜𝒱𝐥xt.𝒞𝑶𝓂
