The Romantic Cultivator

When Ji Yuan had returned to the tavern with the Goddess Ai Tina, Xu Yifei and Chu Lixue, it was nearly dusk.

To his surprise, he saw that the other 4 divine consorts Tang Manni, Dongfang Xin, Ding Jie’Er and Sun Dingjun were all waiting for him.

And when they saw him, there was an excitement in their eyes. 

They quickly greeted the Goddess Ai Tina before they crowded around Ji Yuan. 

“Master Ji Yuan, how is your trip?”

“Did you run into any dangers?”

“Sister Yifei, I didn’t forget about you…”

“Yuan Beluga, you are finally back now! Do you know that I’ve been waiting for you for the past 3 days?”

“Did you manage to find the Great Oracle of Delphi inside the legendary Secret Oracle Gate?”

“Did you manage to find any other profound treasures along the way?”

“Why is the Smiling Divine Maiden with you?”

“Yuan Beluga, you have gone with your senior sister? Then why didn’t you bring me along as well?”

Ji Yuan was literally bombed by questions. 

Chu Lixue sighed softly when she saw the affectionate looks that were on these divine consorts and she quietly walked away to the other end of the tavern.𝑛𝑂𝒱𝗲𝔩𝞰𝓮xt.𝐜𝑶𝓶

This isn’t fair! 

While she is trying to get her 100 Trust Points with her cold and nonchalant patron Divine Consort Dongfang Xin, her patron was displaying her affections for only Ji Yuan who is not even her champion! 

What else can she do but to walk away?

The commotions caused by the divine consorts had also attracted Xiao Muhan who had rushed down the stairs with a look of excitement as he laughed jovially, “Rascal Ji Yuan, you survive your trip? Why don’t you tell me about your trip then? Hahahaha…” 

Ji Yuan laughed weakly as he tried to answer them one by one, “Actually it is just the three of us. My senior sister isn’t with us. We just happen to meet along the way, that’s all.”

This may not be the whole truth but this seemed to calm down the envious looks that were on these divine consorts.

Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei took a guilty look at her Sister Tang Manni and this was noticed by the Goddess Ai Tina. 

The Goddess Ai Tina was also appraising Tang Manni with a woeful look. 

Like her mother consort Tang Li, Tang Manni was also an extremely beautiful maiden and she would be even more beautiful when her cultivation realm had increased; she had indeed inherited the astonishing great beauty of her mother consort Tang Li.

In fact, she looked like a little mirror image of her beautiful mother consort Tang Li. 

If Xu Yifei is not taking part in the Spiritas Tower then the 6 Supreme Divine Gods will surely pick Tang Manni as a replacement. 

In fact, if Xu Yifei had not regained her cultivation realm, then it is likely that the Spiritas Tower will rig in favor of Tang Manni to ascend to the Greater Spirit Realm. 

The Goddess Ai Tina quietly walked to Tang Manni and said gently to her, “Tang Manni.”

Divine Consort Tang Manni was startled that the Goddess Ai Tina had suddenly called out to her and she quickly stammered to say, “Your goddess, is there anything that I can do for you?”

The commotions around Ji Yuan had also stopped; it was because the other divine consorts were also curious to know why the Goddess Ai Tina was talking to Tang Manni.

This included a curious Ji Yuan as well.

The Goddess Ai Tina said slowly to her, “Divine Consort Tang Manni, since your sister is participating in the Spiritas Tower this time round, I hope that you can wait another 500 years to take part in the Spiritas Tower.”

Divine Consort Tang Manni was stunned when she had heard this.

And she quickly fell to her knees and her alluring eyes were bleary, “My Goddess Ai Tina, it is my dream to join my mother consort in the Greater Spirit Realm. Finally, I’ve this chance and how can I possible miss this opportunity to be with my mother consort?”

The Goddess Ai Tina sighed softly, “I do know your mother consort Tang Li. It is also her wish that you stay in the Spirit Divine Realm for the time being.”

Divine Consort Tang Manni was stunned, “This is also my mother consort’s wish?”

She had a look of confusion in her eyes as she turned to look up at Xu Yifei who was quietly nodding to assure her that this was the truth. 

In front of the other divine consorts, Xu Yifei did not dare to acknowledge the Goddess Ai Tina as the mother of her mother consort.

The Goddess Ai told her a half-truth, “If you happen to take a seat among the 6 ascended positions in the Spiritas Tower and ascend as an immortal divine consort, you will be no help to your mother consort. Rather you should try to consolidate your cultivation foundation first and be a stronger immortal in the future. You must know that once you are an immortal, it is actually extremely difficult to advance in your immortal cultivation. You don’t want to be a lowly immortal, do you? Compare to your Sister Xu Yifei, you know that your cultivation is still lacking, am I right?”

Tang Manni was quiet; she is indeed inferior to her sister in many aspects and she has no hope of ever attaining as a great divine consort. That is why she has to depend on the Spiritas Tower to ascend to the Greater Divine Realm.

The Goddess Ai Tina smiled to her as she displayed a cultivation slip from her spatial ring before letting it float in front of Tang Manni.

“This is my spirit cultivation. With this, you may even become a great divine consort in the future. Do not disappoint me.”

Tang Manni was shocked as she stared at the cultivation slip that was in front of her, “This is too valuable… I wonder why the Goddess Ai Tina chooses to bestow this favor upon me?”

Not only was Tang Manni shocked to see that the Goddess Ai Tina was bestowing her personal cultivation slip to her but the other divine consorts Ding Jie’Er, Sun Dingjun and Dongfang Xin were also startled as well.

Why is the Goddess Ai Tina showing such a special favor upon Divine Consort Tang Manni?

Naturally the Goddess Ai Tina had her own special reasons and she was not inclined to reveal her purposes and these divine consorts did not dare to ask her themselves. 

Even Tang Manni did not hope that the Goddess Ai Tina would actually answer her.

The Goddess Ai Tina naturally did not want to reveal that this was to deny the 6 Supreme Divine Gods from indulging and to ravage her as their eternal harlot. Such was the fate of all the divine consorts that had ascended in this manner through the Spiritas Tower.

But over the years, due to the increased cultivation realm and knowledge of the Goddess Ai Tina, she had secretly corrected many of the flaws in the spirit cultivation of the Spiritas. 

“Once you have become a great divine consort, you can share with the others on your spirit cultivation. Do not rush it! Cultivation is not something that you can hasten.”

Tang Manni had bleary eyes as she held onto the cultivation slip into her bosoms and she was muttering, “Mother consort, I have to wait a little longer before I can see you again…”

Xu Yifei also had a bleary look when she had heard her Sister Tang Manni and she began to look the other way…

Ji Yuan took a look at Tang Manni and he sighed secretly in his heart when he remembered that day when she had wept in her villa because of his hurtful words; this Tang Manni was really a most sentimental maiden. 

He did not need to ask the Goddess Ai Tina to know by now that something woeful had happened to her mother consort. He could not ask too because it was just like Xu Yifei had said, it was likely that there was a special restriction on her and she had descended to the Spirit Divine Realm for a special purpose that could not be revealed.

He immediately concluded that this Spiritas Tower was highly suspicious. In fact, the Goddess Ai Tina did not seem eager for Xu Yifei to participate in it now that she knows about their bloodline connection. 

And when the Goddess Ai Tina prevented Tang Manni from entering the Spiritas Tower, his suspicions were confirmed. 

  All of a sudden, there was a shadow at the door way of the tavern and a beautiful albino maiden with a long black rod that had a golden circle of nine precious stones was seen walking slowly inside the tavern. 

This albino maiden was pale looking and even her hair was the same shade of white as her peerless countenance. But there was no hiding her eminent beautiful presence nor her luminous golden eyes that seemed to pierce the hearts of everyone to reveal the dark secrets of their hearts.
