The Romantic Cultivator



Ji Yuan and Juan Xian'Er were in the forest for 2 days now.

Juan Xian'Er said exasperatingly to Ji Yuan, "Are you trying to pull my leg? Where is the Cardinal Priestess?"

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "Patience, patience. We are reaching the Delphi Palace very soon now."

Juan Xian'Er stared with disbelief at Ji Yuan, "You look like you are lost?"

Ji Yuan returned an awkward look, "Of course I am not lost. It is just that this forest is too big and is constantly changing. It is never the same and even the starting point is also different."

Juan Xian'Er added coldly, "You forget to add that even the profound beasts in this place are also unfriendly to you too."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly.

Indeed.

In the past 2 days, they had encountered several high level profound beasts. But they were not too high level to cause any difficulties to Ji Yuan or to Juan Xian'Er and they were more of a nuisance to him instead.

Juan Xian'Er asked Ji Yuan suspiciously, "Are you stalling for time?"

Ji Yuan bitterly said, "Of course not!"

Juan Xian'Er asked again, "Or are you trying to do something funny to me in this forest and leading me to an ambush?"

Ji Yuan bitterly lied, "Of course not."

He was indeed thinking of holding her in the forest after he had kissed her moist lips twice and after he had a feel of her soft beautiful body.

However, this was only in his thoughts and of course he was not really thinking of forcing himself on her. But he did have funny designs on her for the past 2 days.

All of a sudden Ji Yuan was saved by the sight several white pillars in front of the forest, "Look! We have found the Delphi Palace! Haha… See! I didn't lie to you!"

Juan Xian'Er immediately flashed ahead of the forest and she was quite startled to see a grandeur white palace had suddenly appeared in the middle of this forest. 

Moreover she could sense that this place was protected by many formidable arrays. 

Ji Yuan had also flashed next to her and he was grinning, "The Cardinal Priestess is inside this palace. Follow me!" 

Ji Yuan soon brought Juan Xian'Er into the outer palace where he met with Old Fu and many of the freed slaves again. 

Old Fu was astonished that Ji Yuan had brought another astonishing maiden with him again!

Juan Xian'Er looked startled but she was not entirely surprised; she had been wondering where Ji Yuan had been the freed slaves safe. 

She had indeed observed Ji Yuan with this company before in the Bloody Forest but she did not stay for too long and she did not know that they had taken refuge inside the skull ring; she had actually guessed that Ji Yuan had a hiding place for them inside the Bloody Forest or either that, he must have taken all of them as his blood cauldrons to be made into medicinal profound pills. 

Ji Yuan simply chatted with Old Fu for a while before he ushered Juan Xian'Er to the inner palace.

Soon it was just Ji Yuan and Juan Xian'Er again.

"The Cardinal Priestess is in this place." 

Ji Yuan walked into the beautiful hallway of the inner Delphi Palace as he said to Juan Xian'Er.

He was now in a jovial mood now because he could soon see Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er again; he had some unfinished business with them. Also, he could soon see Xuan Qiaoqiao again too.

He thought that Xuan Qiaoqiao may be quite delighted to see Juan Xian'Er again after they had resolved their misunderstandings.

As Ji Yuan and Juan Xian'Er walked in the hallway, there was a sudden flash of a shadow and a most beautiful maiden had flashed in the hallway.

It was actually Xuan Qiaoqiao!

Ji Yuan was startled that it was not Tang Manni or Little Jie'Er that was here to greet him first.

When Xuan Qiaoqiao saw Juan Xian'Er, she began to said coldly. "Juan Xian'Er! You have dared to appear in my presence!"

Juan Xian'Er immediately said, "My good sister… please hear my explanation. I have my reasons for doing so. I hope that you can understand."

Ji Yuan also helped to say, "I think there may be a misunderstanding between the two of you."

Then he looked at Juan Xian'Er and said, "Now that we are here, do you think that you can now tell me why you have set me up?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao frowned slowly, "Misunderstanding? I don't believe."

Ji Yuan said to Xuan Qiaoqiao, "Maybe we should hear the explanation from Maiden Juan Xian'Er first, alright?"

There was a look of hostility that was Xuan Qiaoqiao to Juan Xian'Er but when she turned to look at Ji Yuan, there was a soft look in her eyes. "Alright then. But it is only because this is your request."

Then she shot an angry look at Juan Xian'Er, "You have robbed me of my cultivation strength and not only that, you have even thrown me to this beast of man. What a good sister you are!"

Juan Xian'Er sighed softly as she looked at Xuan Qiaoqiao, "Good sister, you have misunderstood my good intentions. Under my careful watch, I have ensured that you won't lose your chastity to this man. If so, I would have killed him first!"

Xuan Qiaoqiao hummed coldly, "You are lying! Do you think that I did not know that he had violated me? I can…"

She was suddenly flushing as she stolen a glance at Ji Yuan, "I can… feel and still remembered his wicked touches on me…"

Ji Yuan was thinking: I didn't know my touches would be this wicked…

Juan Xian'Er interrupted awkwardly, "Good sister, you have misunderstood. It is me that has touched you. Can you please hear my explanations first?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao looked startled as she stared at Juan Xian'Er, "It is you instead?!"

Juan Xian'Er nodded slowly, "Yes, it is me. I did it to mislead you…"

Ji Yuan was frowning, "Why did you do that for? Do you know that you have ruined my good reputation?"
