The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan had followed Ye Jing down the mountains and they were soon taking a path that was going up again.

When Ji Yuan saw that, he was greatly relieved.

But he could not resist saying, “Senior Sister Ye, we still have slightly more than one hour now. Aren’t we taking things a little too long?”

Ye Jing chuckled, “With your speed and mine, do you need to fear that we will be a little late?”

“Erm, no…” Ji Yuan weakly answered.

Ye Jing was suddenly looking romantically at him, “It is just the two of us here. Do you not think that this is the most romantic thing to happen between the two of us?”

Ji Yuan was forced to admit, “Well yes…haha…”

All of a sudden there were two ninth rank epics desolate raptors that had jumped from the top of the mountains into their paths, startling the two of them and blocking their paths.

Ye Jing hastily shouted alluringly, “let’s divert one each as we try to shake them off.”

“Alright.” Ji Yuan answered her but he was also weakly saying, “It seems that this path isn’t as safe as you think.”𝒏𝗈𝗏𝓮𝓁𝑛𝑒xt.𝑪𝑜𝕞

But barely had he said that, he was already in hot pursuit by the ninth rank epic desolate raptor which towered 20m. By desolate monsters standard, 20m was not towering at all for a ninth rank epic desolate monster but it made up its size by being really very fast. Moreover this was an epic class desolate monster and not a mere profound desolate monster so it had really deadly combat techniques.

Ji Yuan had hurled his sword energies upon the epic desolate raptor as he ran but he failed to injure it even with his saint-step divine sword and sword spirit. Even the sword energies of his heaven light of the coiling dragon had just bounced off the thick profound armor of this desolate monster as he tried to maintain a distance between the two of them.

Ji Yuan shouted lamely to the epic desolate raptor, “Can’t you see that I have a saint-step divine sword in my hand? If you dare to come close to me, I will cut you down.”

This was only a threat. And there were several times that the epic desolate raptor had come close to him and he had barely delivered a scratch on the heavily armored monster which was quickly regenerated by its profound animus.

And this epic desolate raptor had six beaming sharp blades that were as strong as his saint-step divine swords and were slicing the trees and rocks apart whenever the monster attacked him.

Ji Yuan saw that Ye Jing had lost the monster that was pursuing her and had climbed to a cliff top in front. So he tried to follow her too.

However there were suddenly two epic desolate raptors that were on him in the next instant.

As he did not want to use his spirit animus that would consume half of his inner spirit sea, he began to unleash a stroke from his newly acquainted miracle art and the profound power unleashed was shocking; combined with the strength of his saint-step divine sword and his sword spirit, he had delivered a cutting wound into one of the epic desolate raptors and knocking it against the other epic desolate raptor with a thunderous smash against the sides of the mountain cliff.

However he did not press his advantage as he quickly flew up to the top of the cliff, knowing very well that the stunned epic desolate raptor would soon regenerate its wound in a blink of a few eyes.

This small distraction was good enough for him to fly up to the top of the cliff as Ye Jing caught his hands firmly as she giggled, “You are good. We are so high now that they won’t be able to catch us so soon. Let’s continue on our way.”

A breathless Ji Yuan could only nod as he followed his idol, the Great Heroine Ye Jing.

He had thought that Ye Jing was about to take him to fight another round of desolate monsters again when she had brought him up to another mountain top as she smiled. “We have arrived.”

She pointed to a mountain platform and there were hundreds of blue flags on top.

With an excited look she said to Ji Yuan, “Follow me. We don’t have much time left.”

An exhausted Ji Yuan had estimated that he had climbed the mountains down and up at least 30 times. However Ye Jing did not seem exhausted and he was quite ashamed of his physical attributes.

He was wondering to himself: What if I were to follow the cultivators in front? Will I be this exhausted?

While thinking he had sped along with Ye Jing and had finally reached the other mountain platform.

All in all, he took almost two hours.

When he had reached the mountain platform he saw that Lin Antian, the Lovely Empress and the Smiling Divine Maiden had long arrived at the place.

He put on a brave front and a smile, “This trial isn’t too difficult, haha!”

The Smiling Divine Maiden merely smiled quietly in his direction.

The Lovely Empress was giggling softly when she saw him and she could not resist saying, “Hey Ji Yuan. You look so exhausted. Are you sure that you can complete the rest of the trial? How much inner spiritual sea have you used? Do you need to copulate with me to regain your profound strength?”

When Lin Antian had heard her, he was annoyed and shot Ji Yuan a look that was filled with bloodlust. However the Lovely Empress ignored him completely.

Ji Yuan hummed coldly at the Lovely Empress and said, “Even if all the women are dead, I will never copulate with you.”

There was twitching in the countenance of the Lovely Empress and it was obvious that there was anger in her golden eyes.

The Lovely Empress answered coldly, “Not even free of charge?”

Ji Yuan was dumbfounded as he put his fingers crossed behind his butt before he answered her coolly, “Not even free of charge.”

The Lovely Empress began to chuckle softly, “I was thinking if you want to honor your deal with me last night. But since you have said that you are not interested in me, I guess the deal is off now.”

Actually Ji Yuan was looking at her short skirt and between her legs. When she had suddenly said this, he was banging his head on the wall as he said shit to himself.

But he pretended to be as cool as before and laughed nonchalantly, “I was actually about to suggest the same thing. Haha…”

The Lovely Empress hummed coldly, “Hmph! So be it!”

Ji Yuan began to walk away nonchalantly but he actually had a heavy heart.

Xiang Li was curious: Big Brother, I don’t understand. Didn’t you say that you are not interested in the fake Lovely Empress?

Ji Yuan answered with a heavy heart: Not when she is free of charge, right?

Xiang Li: ???

Anyang: ???

A short while later, Zhi Jiugong’s beautiful voice began to echo in the heavens above. “Congratulations to those that have cleared this trial. There are 600 of you that have cleared this trial. Unfortunately, 250 of you have failed this trial and… may not even have survived to hear me.”

When Ji Yuan had heard her, he did not know whether to laugh or cry at the dead cultivators. He took a quick look around him and saw that many of the 600 cultivators were injured as well.

Unfortunately, the same could not be say for the Lovely Empress, the Smiling Divine Maiden and Lin Antian; they were all uninjured.

Zhi Jiugong continued to say, “All of you will be receiving 2 million high grade spirit stones when the 3 day arena trial has ended. You will now be taken to the next trial of the day where a reward of 3 million high grade spirit stones will await you. However if you fail in the next trial, you have to pay a 2 million high grade spirit stones penalty. But as a small consolation for those that fail the next trial, we will be giving you a free ticket to the Extreme Bliss Colosseum.”

Then she said coolly, “To the next trial…”
