The Romantic Cultivator

The Pentecost Mountains, in the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect.

Ji Yuan's victory over this region had caused many of the nearby rebel cultivators to gather at this place.

Hua Wuwu as the new sect leader of the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect did not turn them down and accepted all the cultivators that were willing to join them.

Although there may be some spies that had cunning disguised themselves to join them but it was a risk that she had to take.

And Ji Yuan agreed with her as well.

He had said to her, "The spies are but a minority so don't let this worry you. We just need to put our own people into their groups to prevent the spies from inciting the others. Have our own spies report on any suspicious activities so that we can take immediate action. As for those golden celestials that join us, we ought to be more careful. Nowadays, you can't even trust a golden celestial that is from the orthodox cultivation sect."

For the next few days, Ji Yuan simply waited for the Evil Cultivation Palace to come.

And he wondered why they had gone to the Great Forsaken Basin instead.

Also, he also wondered if he could see Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao again.

He was eager to see her again but at the same time, he was also anxious about seeing her; it was because the next time that he would see her, they may well be enemies.

"Must we fight?"

This was a question that Ji Yuan had asked himself.

When Ji Yuan had banged Ding Xiaoxiao, he was startled that she was actually a chaste maiden and he was her first man.

Ji Yuan became even more unhappy that he had to fight Ding Xiaoxiao especially when he had treated her as his maiden.

But after he had banged her, she just disappeared and not even saying a parting word to him.

His ego was bruised because of this.

"Xiaoxiao, do you think that you are done with me after having your fun of playing with me?"

He certainly is not going to let her off just like this or his name is not Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was naturally sad to learn of Jiajia's death. 

For a full day after he had taken over the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect, he had holed himself inside a cultivation chamber and refusing to leave the place.

He was not doing any cultivations or meditations but he was blanking thinking about his Jiajia and all the things that they had experienced together.

"Jiajia, you say that if I see Xu Yifei in the Celestial Realm then we will surely see one another again and what you had told me isn't a dream. Right? Don't lie to me, Jiajia…"

He kept repeating this to himself.

All the maidens tried to persuade Ji Yuan to cheer up but to no avail. 

Even when they put on their best enticing robes with really short skirts, they could not arouse Ji Yuan's interest.

His maidens were getting a little anxious for Ji Yuan now.

Ling Feiyue said to Shui Xisi, "Ji Yuan has been suppressing his emotions since Jiajia's death and now he has sunk into depression when there are no enemies to be seen in sight. Only you can bring Ji Yuan out of his depression." 

Shui Xisi asked curiously, "I can? He ignored me just like the rest of you and he says that he needs to be alone for a while."

Ling Feiyue said to her, "Yes, you can. Because you are the Jiajia's sister and you have some resembles to her as well. Didn't you notice that Ji Yuan is more patience toward you than with us?"

Shui Xisi protested weakly, "That is because he is a lusty toad that is lecherously looking at my beautiful body. He is nothing but a lecherous cultivator. I don't want to talk to him for a minute longer!"

Ling Feiyue: …

All the other maidens that had been with Ling Feiyue and Shui Xisi in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

It was not a secret to some of these maidens that Shui Xisi and Ji Yuan had a secret affair with each other.

But the two of them just refused to admit it.

Ling Feiyue weakly said to Shui Xisi, "Maybe you can go and comfort Ji Yuan again."

Shui Xisi sighed, "I can talk to him again but I can't promise that I will be able to comfort him. I am also quite upset with my sister's death but he is even sadder than I am. This is a little too ridiculous."

As she said that, her golden eyes burnt with anger against the evil cultivators and the Great Demon God as she muttered, "Feifei, I'll surely avenge your death." 

To the cultivators, especially the high level ones, they are actually quite muted to the deaths of the other cultivators in their long life as they have witnessed too many deaths whether it is in the trials or through duels. 

So she had thought that Ji Yuan would be able to get over it quickly and focused his energies on avenging her sister instead.

But Ji Yuan was hit harder than they had thought.

Ling Feiyue had even secretly summoned Xiang Li to ask her for help when she was alone with her. 

"Xiang Li, just between you and me, how do know why Ji Yuan is so depressed? Is there anything that you can help?"

Xiang Li replied to her, "Big Brother is still sad with Maiden Jiajia's death. Big Brother's big dreams with Jiajia are all shattered now."

Ling Feiyue had sighed, "I know. He wants to take Jiajia as his consort for the longest time. He told me while we are inside the Warrior Labyrinth Empyrean."

Xiang Li said with a sheepish look, "This isn't exactly true."

Ling Feiyue: ???

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Xiang Li explained awkwardly, "He had dreamt of banging Maiden Jiajia every day and night but it is not coming true anymore."

Ling Feiyue: …

Back to the present, Shangguan Yan had suddenly spoken up, "Matriarch Shui, may I say something to you?"

Shui Xisi smiled and asked, "It is Maiden Shangguan Yan. I have heard that you and your protégé sister Fairy Ye Chengxi are both my sister's core disciples now. In the future, I am also half your cultivation mistress. What is it that you want to say to me?"

Shangguan Yan said quietly, "I do have a plan for you to comfort my lord, Ji Yuan. Do you want to hear?"

Shui Xisi asked curiously, "What is it?"

All the other maidens were all also curiously looking at Shangguan Yan. 

Right now, they needed a plan to incite Ji Yuan's fighting spirit again.
