The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan did not have the chance to do any ‘scouting’ because his main beloved maidens were all keeping a close eye on him; strictly no sharing for the time being because Ji Yuan had not been spending much time with them for the past two trials.

After Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi had realized that they had been so close to losing Ji Yuan, they decided to treat him a little nicer and started to shower him with more affection even in the presence of Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue; they simply did not care anymore about maintaining the proper social etiquette anymore.

After a few days of search for a new trial, Ji Yuan and his party had found another trial in the deep mountains.

This place was really beautiful and had many waterfalls.

When they had arrived at the trial platform, there were already hundreds of other cultivators.

Ji Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry when he had overheard them cursing the three spirit old men from their earlier attempted trial.

He thought; are these cultivators the failures from my last trial?

These cultivators were mostly high level cultivators and had a lofty air.

When they saw Ji Yuan and his group, many of male cultivators were scoffing coldly;

“A single male cultivator is actually in the company of several female cultivators.”

“He must be a spineless cultivator.”

“Maybe he is just romancing them…”

Even the female cultivators were commenting coldly;

“Although he is handsome but he is a little too spineless.”

“I doubt that the six veiled maidens that are with him are pretty…”

“Only losers form a group…”

“Maybe he is afraid of taking the trial alone. After all, this is the fifth level.”

“It seems that they are mostly from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity…”

“Why is he a beardless cultivator then? I’ve heard that beardless cultivators in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity are all losers and scums.”

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Are these cultivators too free? Why are they gossiping about me instead of focusing on the trial? And why are they all gathering outside the trial?!

“Ji Yuan, ignore them.” Ling Feiyue hummed coldly as she marched to the black stele.

Ji Yuan nodded slowly and saw that they were the only group from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.

He began to smile weakly; where are all his fans when he needed them the most?!

Are there no expert cultivators from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity?

Where are his friends or enemies?

Ji Yuan had an ugly look on his beautiful face as though he wanted to bash the other cultivators.

Obviously many of the cultivators were actually trying to provoke a fight with him to gauge his strength or reaction.

For the trial, everyone was more or less a rival as they competed for the limited resources.

Even without any mean to check their profound animus, Ji Yuan knew that half of them were probably at the saint level and were all dangerous cultivators.

He was about to shout back at them, being the uncouth cultivator that he had always been and unmindful of his foul mouth when Bai Qianfeng gently said to him, “My lord, you don’t need to be bothered with any of them. They are not worth our time. Why don’t we check the black stele instead? I am curious to know why they are all here instead of inside the trial. This trial may have a specific condition to fulfill first.”

Ji Yuan frowned unwillingly…

Bai Qianfeng smiled as she said gently to him, “Aren’t you a romantic cultivator? Can you be more gracious and more romantic?”

She had been with Ji Yuan long enough to know about his short tempers.

But she also knows that Ji Yuan is really different from the other men; he is really sincerely nice to his beloved and he will endure their gossips about him. Others may scold him for being a spineless man who will endure insults and teases from his beloveds but Ji Yuan actually does not mind at all.

He may complaint about it or muttering curses about it but in his heart, he actually did not mind. It is because Ji Yuan is actually a crude cultivator or rather a grumbly cultivator who tends to complain about everything due to his years of being the protégé grandmaster of the Orthodox Sword Sect.

Even poor Shangguan Yan was not spared his constant grumbling.

But Ji Yuan is now much kinder to Shangguan Yan and had totally restricted himself from grumbling against her; this applies to all his consorts and beloveds as well as he realized that he had a tendency to be a horrible foul mouth crude cultivator.

In the eyes of the majority of the rich cultivators, he is an uncouth, uneducated and a peasant in the world of cultivation.

Not that Ji Yuan really cares about their views on him because he can actually be quite thick skin and know when to retreat strategically at times.

“That veiled maiden in white. Yes, the one with the puny lizard and the ugly green bird. Is she here to take the trial or she is here to take her pets for a walk?” A cultivator laughed aloud.

This caused many of the cultivators to laugh jovially at the same time.

Bai Qianfeng: …

Bai Qianfeng: …

Bai Qianfeng: …𝓝𝑂𝓥𝗲𝐿𝓝𝚎xt.𝕔𝑶𝑚

Ji Yuan buried his face into his right hand as he muttered, “This is a terrible mistake…”

Before the cultivator who had first poked fun at Bai Qianfeng knew what was actually happening, she had flashed next to him and had sent him flying with her fists!

The cultivator landed with a loud stump as he struggled to pick himself up with disbelief; he is a great saint and he cannot believe that he can be tossed up in the air just like this.

But when he saw the profound animus that was on the veiled white maiden, he was furthered startled; she has the aura of a peaked great saintess!

He had just provoked a peaked top cultivator!

Before he could react, Bai Qianfeng had unsheathed her celestial-step sword with a brilliant flash of light and had slashed him twice on his chest, causing him to fly through the ground in a long streak of dust and debris!

Again, he was stunned; her sword art is extremely swift and she has a celestial-step divine sword!

He could not even react in her presence as he felt her overwhelming aura suppressing him completely!

How was it even possible?!

He was a great saint, a power cultivator with the Ultimate Golden Body Profound Art!

He was not the only cultivator that was startled; the hundreds of cultivators were all gasping with shock at the speed attack that was displayed by Bai Qianfeng.

She had suddenly flashed ahead of her party to assault her offender without even displaying a hint of profound strength and had even flashed with her celestial divine sword in a blink of an eye.

Under Ji Yuan’s occasional guidance, Bai Qianfeng’s reflexes are now much quicker because Ji Yuan specialty is his speed.

Bai Qianfeng was about to flash again to make her next offensive move when Ji Yuan had suddenly flashed ahead of her as he caught hold of her shoulder, “That is enough. He may die.”

When Ji Yuan had suddenly made his movement, many of the cultivators had broken into cold sweat because they could barely see how he had made his move.

And moreover Ji Yuan had barely even pronounced his profound animus at all.

They were all thinking; if he had displayed his full profound aura then won’t his speed be doubled?

Luckily for them, Ji Yuan was actually not a power cultivator so he had weak profound animus. As a matter of fact, his profound specialty was actually not in his profound aura that could enhance his speed or the power of his defenses. Rather, it was in his profound recovery.

The great saint that was beaten up by Bai Qianfeng was now pleading with fear, “Heroine, surely we can talk things over? This is…only…just a…tease…”

Ji Yuan gently nodded to Bai Qianfeng to hint her to be more forgiving and to stay out of trouble.

Bai Qianfeng nodded, “Since my lord says so then so be it.”

Then she turned to face the pleading great saint who was heaving a soft sigh of relief. “But only if you can take a bite from my puny lizard and my ugly bird.”

The great saint began to heave with great relief; just a puny lizard and an ugly bird…

But his relief was suddenly wiped out when the ‘puny lizard’ and the ‘ugly bird’ had both transformed into two gigantic seventh rank profound beasts in front of him, stunning all the cultivators who were in the midst of their jovial laughter…

“This…this…is…”

“These two puny beasts…just become two seventh rank profound beasts…”

The great saint immediately fainted from shock while the jaws of all the cultivators had all dropped and they did not dare to make even a feeble sound at all.

The deadly silence had in fact intensified further when the veil from Bai Qianfeng had suddenly loosened to reveal her unearthly heavenly beauty.

Immediately all the male cultivators were all gasping as they could not believe such an unearthly heavenly beauty could be among them!

Even the female cultivators all had a envious stunned look as well!

Ji Yuan began to frown immediately when his Qianfeng’s veil had accidentally been loosened and he was suddenly seeing green from all the lecherous eyes that were around him.
