The Romantic Cultivator

Back to the Tavern at Snowy Pavilion City.

Ji Yuan was shocked that the Dark Goddess of Destiny had declared to everyone that she would be staying in the tavern as well. 

His first thought was that he got to move out of this place because he suspected that she may have an ulterior motive in following them here. 

But when he had thought that he was staying in this tavern because of Xu Yifei, he decided to drop his idea about moving out. 

Moreover, this Dark Goddess of Destiny may also follow him to his new place as well. 

At this moment, he had to maintain his Trust Points with all the divine consorts or he would not get any rewards at the end of this trial. 

He could see that the divine consorts all had a high regard for their Great Oracle of Delphi and she was even their ‘Sacred Great Oracle Goddess’.

The Dark Goddess of Destiny was now smiling to Ji Yuan as she had taken out a ring with a skull on it, “Wear it at all times. This ring will avert you from your Number 1 Calamity that is coming soon.”

Ji Yuan: …

Do I really need to?

The Goddess Ai Tina and the other 5 divine consorts were all pleading with him to put on the ring with the skull as this was a profound artefact from their Great Oracle. 

With great reluctant, Ji Yuan tried the skull ring on his finger before he tried to pull it out again. 

All of a sudden, he discovered that he could not.

“What the heck? I can’t pull this ring off my finger!”

The Dark Goddess of Destiny chuckled, “It means that it is working. You will be able to remove this ring once your number 1 calamity is passed. So don’t worry about this. You should be glad instead for this is an immortal ring and is a ring of great profound power.”

Ji Yuan: …

I say my number 1 calamity is you instead. 

Destiny was now secretly looking quite pleased; she had tricked this Ji Yuan to put on her skull ring. This means that in the meantime he could never shake her off for the time being. 

This skull ring is actually her legendary Secret Oracle Gate and inside it, is a pocket dimension of her world where she had first met them in her Sacred Temple of Delphi. 

Ji Yuan asked her weakly, “What great profound power can this immortal ring gives me then?”

Destiny answered with a half solemn and a half smiling look, “It will guard you and will be useful to ward you against your number 1 calamity.”

“I mean, other than guarding me from this number 1 calamity. What other profound powers can this immortal ring gives me?”

“Nothing.”

Ji Yuan was stunned, “Nothing?!”

This Goddess Destiny is a total fake! 

When Destiny saw the look that was on Ji Yuan, she quickly added with a mysterious smile. “I mean nothing for now. You will soon learn of its great profound power when you are in need.”

Ji Yuan: …

I am in need now, you know.

I need to save myself from a number 1 calamity such as yourself.

Although Ji Yuan had a nonchalant look when he had received the immortal ring but all the others were envious that he got an immortal gift from the Great Oracle and they were all crowding to see the skull ring that was on his finger.

Divine Consort Ding Jie’Er was looking with great envious, “Yuan Beluga is so lucky to receive an immortal ring from the Great Oracle. I wish I have one too as well.”

She had accidentally let her thoughts be known.

But all the other divine consorts, including Xu Yifei were all nodding as well. 

This was an enviable gift indeed! 

Even the Goddess Ai Tina was looking at Ji Yuan with an enviable look and she said, “Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan, maybe the profound power of this ring will soon manifest for you. You ought to treasure this immortal gift from the Great Oracle.”

Ji Yuan could only smile bitterly when he had heard her.

This isn’t an engagement ring, you know. Why should I even try to treasure this immortal ring? And how the heck can I remove this ring?! 

Destiny smiled to Ji Yuan, “And now, it is time for us to have a little chat in private.”

Ji Yuan was startled, “What chat?”𝑛𝑂𝒱𝗲𝔩𝞰𝓮xt.𝐜𝑶𝓶

All the others were also looking curiously at Ji Yuan and the Great Oracle as well. 

Destiny was compelled by her slave collar to answer, “Naturally it is to answer your unfinished question.”

Ji Yuan immediately said nonchalantly, “This won’t be necessary. I am afraid that I am a little busy today.”

And he was already looking in the direction of the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue who was looking with great amusement at the scene.

He was quite eager to be alone with his senior sister again…

Destiny: …

Then how can I be freed from my slave collar?!

Xiang Li was startled: Big Brother, you don’t want to be alone with a maiden in a room? This is not like you!

Anyang was also surprised: Is this still our lord?

Ji Yuan frowned: I am a gentleman of the sword. What are the two of you thinking?

Xiang Li giggled: Naturally thinking of who you want to bang tonight. The Goddess Destiny or the Smiling Divine Maiden.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Destiny was cursing silently in the meantime: Since you say that you are busy today, I can try to ask you again tomorrow. Consider yourself lucky today! 

The reason why she cannot insist is because Ji Yuan is her master and she is compelled to agree with him. 

Destiny was thinking: Luckily, he did not ask me to remove his ring for him…

But she quickly smiled to everyone, “This goddess is going to cultivate in the meantime. So where is my room?”

Maiden Flower Ju quickly stepped forward and she was smiling, “Great Oracle, please follow me upstairs. We will give you the best room that we got.”

Destiny nodded lightly as she began to follow Maiden Flower Ju but not before she returned a mysterious smile at Ji Yuan. 

Ji Yuan in the meantime was quite relieved to get rid of her for the time being and he was still trying to figure out the ulterior motive of this Goddess Destiny. 

Ding Jie’Er had suddenly said to Ji Yuan after the Great Oracle had gone upstairs, “I’ve just remembered something. There is an old cultivator that is my champion that says you are nothing in his eyes and he asks to challenge you.”

Ji Yuan just shrugged his shoulders to laugh, “Well, there are plenty of cultivators that I cannot beat. Haha…”

Ding Jie’Er sighed, “And he says you have no guts at all. But of course, I say that my Yuan Beluga is full of iron guts.”

Ji Yuan: …

He frowned immediately, “What is his name?”

Ding Jie’Er thought for a moment, “He says his name is Old Yang. That’s all I know about his name.”

Ji Yuan was startled but he quickly composed to grin, “Well, let’s pay him a visit tomorrow then.”

Even Chu Lixue was looking at their way as she gasped to herself: My old man?

Ding Jie’Er was startled, “Are you sure Yuan Beluga? This is just a casual remark.”

Sun Dingjun smiled, “Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan, I can offer to teach this old cultivator a lesson on your behalf.”

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, “No need. Tomorrow I shall teach this old cultivator a lesson myself. Hahaha…”

Ding Jie’Er had a flushed look as she giggled softly, “Then tonight, I shall stay in this tavern too. Tomorrow we shall set off together.”

“I am going with you tomorrow to teach this Old Yang a lesson.” Sun Dingjun quickly said and she too had a flustered look, “So tonight I am staying in this tavern as well.”

Divine Consort Dongfang Xin was frowning softly when she had heard them; she had actually wanted to stay here as well but she happened to have a meeting tomorrow so she could not.

The same goes for Tang Manni as well. 

In fact, Tang Manni had to go back to her villa soon and she was just in time to have met Ji Yuan and her Sister Xu Yifei. 

Ji Yuan muttered weakly to himself: Tonight, may be a most uneven night…
