The Romantic Cultivator

The next day.

When Ji Yuan opened his eyes, he felt a little dizzy and saw that he was in his bed.

“What happens last night?”

He was trying to recall what had happened at the banquet last night but he could not really remember anything after his duel with the two great saints that had challenged him.

All of a sudden, he was startled to see that all five divine consorts sleeping on the same bed as him and he saw that Dongfang Xin and Tang Manni were both holding his arms. 

“What the heck?!”

He was shocked and he also saw that he was naked under a blanket. 

Tang Manni opened her eyes and said sweetly to him, “Master Ji Yuan, you have awakened…”

Dongfang Xin had also opened her eyes and giggled softly to him, “Divine Lord Ji Yuan, you have been very naughty last night…”𝓃𝒪𝑽𝑬𝗅𝞰𝑒xt.𝑪𝗈𝑚

Ji Yuan was stunned, “This…”

Soon, even Xu Yifei, Sun Dingjun and Ding Jie’Er had also opened their eyes. 

Ding Jie’Er was even ‘pretending’ to pull the straps of her robe.

Ji Yuan asked them panicky, “Did we do anything… erm… unusual last night?”

All 5 divine consorts lowered their eyes before they said almost at the same time, “Yes… you can’t remember? You should remember… you have been naughty last night…”

But of course, nothing had happened last night but after a short discussion last night, the 5 divine consorts had decided to lie to Ji Yuan and see what he would do.

It was because they were afraid that Ji Yuan may reject all of them even though he had claimed to love them when he was drunk.

They were not stupid and their sixth sense told them that Ji Yuan was planning to dump them soon…

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm   Ji Yuan was stunned, “What have I done?”

Ding Jie’Er asked him, “Yuan Beluga, so will you take responsible for us?”

Ji Yuan was stunned as he broke into cold sweat, “Erm… of course…”

But he was actually thinking that he had only 4 days before this trial would end and then he had to abandoned them. 

At this moment, he was no longer thinking about his trust points any longer.

Xu Yifei caught hold of Ji Yuan’s hands all of a sudden as she smiled enticingly, “Master Ji Yuan, why are your hands so cold and why are your heart beating so fast?”

Ji Yuan smiled weakly, “Erm, I am not…”

But it was true that his body was cold now; it was not because he did not want to be responsible to them but he could not.

Xu Yifei held his hands warmly and said, “Actually Master Ji Yuan, we are only teasing you. Nothing has happened last night. This is merely a joke. Are you angry with us?”

Ji Yuan’s face had suddenly brightened, “This is a joke? Hahaha… Of course, I don’t mind at all…”

But he was cursing in his soul sea now: Anyang, Xiang Li. Why didn’t you tell me?! Where are the two of you?

Xiang Li giggled softly: Great Divine Xu Yifei tells me that they are only playing a prank on you and hence, we are not to tell you. Heehee. And you’ve forgotten about us. That is so sad.

Ji Yuan weakly laughed: Haha…I think you should take a look at

Tang Manni was now saying to Ji Yuan: Master Ji Yuan, are you upset with us? We just want to play a prank on you. I hope that you don’t mind.

Ding Jie’Er lowered her head to say melancholy, “Maybe this will be our last prank to play on you… because you will be going back to the Celestial Realm soon…”

Dongfang Xin was also sighing softly, “We know that we can’t go with you… you are stronger than any of the male cultivators that I’ve seen. You are a hero in my heart, just like my father.”

“Divine Lord Ji Yuan…” Sun Dingjun lowered her eyes and her countenance was flushing, “I know that I don’t stand a chance being with you… but I still hope that you can stay in this place to be my lord…”

Tang Manni interrupted her softly, “Isn’t this what we are all hoping for?”

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, “Even though I may be leaving for the Celestial Realm soon enough. But one day, I may return here again. When I do, I hope that you will still welcome me.”

Dongfang Xin quickly said, “Of course we will still welcome you! You will always be the divine lord of our Snowy Pavilion City!”

“That’s right!” Tang Manni followed after her.

“Always will be, Yuan Beluga!” Ding Jie’Er said firmly.

Xu Yifei smiled, “I will always wait for you.”

Ji Yuan tried to smile, “Everyone… thank you…”

But deep inside, he was feeling quite bitter. 

It was not because he did not intend to keep his promise of not visiting them but he got a feeling that he would never be able to visit the Spirit Divine Realm ever again in the next opening of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

If he was not wrong in his guess, the trials of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth were not as simple as it looked. In fact, it appeared to him that the celestials were being sent to the various middle and lower worlds to help resolve a crisis in the form of a trial.

When he had first come to the Spirit Divine Realm, this realm appeared to be all too normal. But he soon discovered that something was off with the Goddess Ai Tina and the Spiritas Tower. 

Although he did not ask the Goddess Ai Tina what had happened in the Greater Spirit Realm but he was able to tell that the Goddess Ai Tina was hiding a secret and she seemed to be thankful for his aid after the Immortal Divine Lord Achilles had also descend.

Even though they did not tell him any details, he did not feel any hostility from the Goddess Ai Tina anymore compared to the first time that he had met her when he was quite cautious of her motives. 

In fact, he had only felt a quiet gratitude from her which surprised him. This gratitude even extended to the start of the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower when the Goddess Ai Tina had made him a divine lord. That was why he did not suspect the Goddess Ai Tina of any foul play in his difficult trial but he was cursing the Trial Spirit of the Spiritas Tower instead.

Just before she had left for the Greater Spirit Realm, she had offered a heart-warming gratitude to Ji Yuan, “Thank you Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan. You have my eternal great thanks.”

He tried to asked her, “I did something?”

But the Goddess Ai Tina did not give him an answer.

But his guts feeling was that this crisis was finally resolved when the profound darkness had finally been vanquished from the Spiritas Tower.

This profound darkness should be the one that Xu Yifei had felt 500 years ago as well. 

Unknown to Ji Yuan for now, the gratitude that the Goddess Ai Tina had for him was that he had accidentally helped to kill the 6 Supreme Immortal Gods. This is something that Ji Yuan will know at a later time. 

Ji Yuan forced himself to laugh with a loud declaration, “I won’t forget anyone of you…”

All 5 of the divine maidens nodded quietly and their eyes were quite melancholy. 

Ding Jie’Er rubbed the red ring on her fingers as she stared at it: Didn’t the Great Oracle promises me that she will let me be with Yuan Beluga by giving me this red ring? I wonder how she is going to help me?
