The Romantic Cultivator

Word quickly spread in the Green Faction that Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan were pitting their artistic skills to extol the great beauty of Yun Chi.

While the male cultivators were excited about it but the female cultivators were cool about it.

Ling Feiyue hummed coldly to the rest of the maidens, “She only knows how to pose herself, that is all. In terms of mesmerizing charm, is she comparable to Little Princess? In terms of refine beauty, is she up to Maiden Feng Minyue? In terms of allure, is she up to Qianfeng? In terms of imperturbable beauty, is she up to Jingjing? Is she as stunning as Sisi?”

“Most importantly, is she as beautiful as me?”

“That is right!”

“Sister Feiyue, well said!”

“Yun Chi cannot be compared to any of us!”

“That’s right!”

Ji Yuan: …

They’re praising themselves…

Bai Qianfeng whispered to them, “And our lord has even called her ugly and cocky too.”

Ji Yuan: …

He quickly stopped their gossips, “Not so loud. The walls have ears.”

He was extremely afraid of letting Yun Chi overheard their conversations; for some unknown reasons, he is now freaking afraid of her whenever she is near to him.

It is because he never knows what she is going to say…

He had to move his eyes around to check if Yun Chi was near, not trusting his divine sense anymore.

And he saw her chatting jovially with Xiao Muhan as though he was the handsomest cultivator.

All of a sudden he was seeing green as he cursed silently, “Brother Muhan, do you know that you can’t take your best friend’s friend for yourself or you will be damned…”

What am I saying?

I’ve no relationship with this Yun Chi at all…

The hours quickly passed and soon the sun had finally set.

The Green Faction that was led by Gong Xiaotian had found a ruin and they had quicky made a makeshift camp in the ruins.

Everyone was excited as they gathered in a big circle around Ji Yuan, Xiao Muhan and Yun Chi.

The reason why everyone was excited was because a fight between Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan was about to start soon.

It was not a physical fight but an artistic fight.

And they were now fighting over Yun Chi to see who the superior was and who the inferior brush was.

They had all waited until it was night time and when the temperature was much cooler.

Hundreds of torches were lit up around Ji Yuan, Xiao Muhan and Yun Chi.

Many of the cultivators were even making side bets to see who shall emerge as the better brush and victor.

“Who do you think will win?”

“Xiao Muhan…”

“Ji Yuan…”

“Xiao Muhan because Yun Chi seems to have taken an interest in him. I’ve seen them talking together for the entire day…”

“Ji Yuan because he is more beautiful…”

“Ji Yuan will lose because Yun Chi doesn’t seem to like him that much…”

“Ji Yuan will win because Yun Chi seems to like him…”

Eventually the odds of Ji Yuan winning are 1:3 while Xiao Muhan has a 1:1 winning odd.

Ji Yuan was not happy with the odds because it seems that many of the cultivators were betting that he would lose.

Even Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue were all betting that he would lose.

Ji Yuan: …

Qin Shuang said to him, “Master Ji Yuan, I have betted that you will win.”

Ji Yuan laughed, “Thank you-“

“Mainly to improve your odds or it will look terrible on you.” Qin Shuang giggled all of a sudden before she walked off.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan had used their divine swords to cleave off a smooth table for them from the ruins that were around them.

Right now, the two of them were staring coldly at each other.

Although they may be the best of friends but today their reputations were at stake!

The cultivators from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity were excited because they were witnessing a contest between the two legendary brushes today.

In the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, Saint Xiao Muhan’s paintings were worth thousands of spirit stones. He was the best of the best when it comes to paintings.

At the same time dozens of cultivators had also taken out their brushes, ready to best Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan with their paintings and poems.

Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan were actually not the only talented cultivators around and these cultivators were ready to show everyone their awesome works later.

Right now everyone was looking at Yun Chi who was smiling coyly at everyone as she slowly removed her upper face mask.

Once again, many of the cultivators were gasping at her astonishing peerless beauty.

She was like a sculptured goddess and her pleasant smiles were like the strong noon sun that lit the hearts of everyone.

Even Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue had to admit that she was really good in smiling because she looked too natural.𝔫𝚘𝑣𝞮𝓛𝐧𝗲xt.𝓒𝐎𝑚

Ji Yuan whispered to Xiao Muhan, “It is not just a competition between the two of us. Did you see that there are so many cultivators that are around us that are also with their brushes?”

Xiao Muhan whispered weakly, “I can see it. I don’t need you to tell me all this. You’ve better not disgrace our good name in the eyes of these cultivators.”

Ji Yuan frowned, “This is precisely what I’m trying to tell you. No matter who win or lose today, we have to be better than all of them.”

Xiao Muhan nodded as he cursed softly, “What is wrong with these cultivators? It is our competition and yet it has become their competition as well.”

Ji Yuan weakly said, “Because this Yun Chi is stripping herself for them to view, that’s why.”

Xiao Muhan frowned, “You the Great Poet Ji Yuan. Why are you so vulgar? She is only taking off her mask and not stripping. You are just an uncultured couth. How did you ever get to be exalted as a great poet? Did you spend all your time describing the beauty of the beautiful maidens?”

Ji Yuan frowned, “I don’t remember you’re that cultured. You and your sick painting. You’ve even showed it to me.”

Xiao Muhan laughed weakly, “Let’s have a friendly competition. We are all good friends, you know. No personal attacks.”

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “Right, right. No personal attacks.”

Their attentions were quickly distracted by Yun Chi as she seated herself gracefully.

As Yun Chi seated herself, she had second thoughts about her pose so she started to sit cross-legged as she faced Ji Yuan Xiao Muhan.

Ji Yuan’s lightning fast eyes had already caught between her bare legs and he was gulping…

He was not the only one as Xiao Muhan and many of the male cultivators were all staring hard at the same time, releasing soft gasps of excitement…

Gong Xiaotian was now whispering to the rest of his inner circle, “I want this Yun Chi.”

“We don’t know if she is a saintess or not. She doesn’t look weak.” One cultivator whispered back.

Gong Xiaotian frowned, “Does it matter if she is a saintess or not? She isn’t the only saintess that surrenders to us.”

Then he smirked coldly, “If she is really that strong, she won’t use that Ji Yuan as her support. No matter how strong she is, do you think that she is a match for all of us here? We’re all saints and great saints here.”

“True, true…” The inner circle of cultivators immediately agreed with Gong Xiaotian.

Gong Xiaotian chuckled, “You just need to decide who will be the next one to ride her after I’m done with her.”

One cultivator slowly said, “I’ve only agreed to join you to overcome this trial. Do we have to be so underhanded? What is the difference between us and the heretic cultivators then?”

Gong Xiaotian hummed coldly, “There is no law inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and the shameful things that happen inside will be a secret forever.”

Although there were many golden celestials taking part in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth every 500 years, very few cultivators were willing to share the experiences inside. It had become a taboo in the Celestial Realm to mention the trials of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

Gong Xiaotian said to the same cultivator, “So are you with us or not with us?”

The same cultivator answered with a smile, “Of course I’m with everyone. I’m just bottoming my righteousness from my heart if not I won’t feel comfortable after I’ve ridden her.”

Everyone: …

They were all loudly cursing him in their hearts for being a hypocrite…

Gong Xiaotian smirked coldly, “This Ji Yuan is getting to be an eyesore. If he isn’t the Number 404, I would have killed him long ago here.”

Another cultivator asked in a low voice, “Are you thinking of silencing him?”

Gong Xiaotian slowly nodded with a wry smile, “I want his saint-step divine sword. The rest of you can divide the rest of his profound treasures with one another.”

A saint-step divine sword is a profound treasure that is worth more than the Escape Talismans.

Rather than letting the other Factions have a chance to kill Ji Yuan, he had decided to finish Ji Yuan personally now and to seize his saint-step divine sword.

Another cultivator protested weakly, “I will be risking my life against this Ji Yuan but all the benefits belong to all of you. There are his golden robe and an immortal-step divine sword left. What is there left for me then?”

Gong Xiaotian smiled as he answered him, “Can’t you see that he also have six astonishing beauties that are with him? These astonishing beauties and their profound treasures will also belong to you. Moreover Ji Yuan may have other astonishing profound treasures inside his spatial ring as well.”

Then he chuckled, “To be fair to all, you can all draw lots for it. I believe that even if your luck is the worst, you still have plenty of benefits.”

All the other twenty cultivators were all rolling their eyes as they took a look at one another. They were soon smiling; even if Ji Yuan doesn’t have so many profound treasures but some of them may not survive a fight with Ji Yuan or will be forced to use the Escape Talisman. Therefore they had good chance to seize some good profound treasures and beauties for themselves.

Everyone was thinking that the others would be the one to die and they were all laughing jovially now.

And Gong Xiaotian was also laughing jovially, “Ji Yuan will be a dead man soon.”
