The Romantic Cultivator

In the secret underground base of Bliss City.

Anyone without the special seal of the Death God or the Desolate Dragon God would not be able to enter the special array that led to this place.

The Death God Mingwang was now standing in the Death Hall and in front of her were her three protégés, the Smiling Divine Maiden, Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress.

They did not conceal all that had happened inside the arena trial, helping the Death God Mingwang to fill in the missing gaps as sounds within the battle imagery could not be transmitted.

All 3 of them were looking extremely pale as they wept uncontrollably and they were all bowing with their backs onto the ground.

Their tears combined could even form a small puddle of water!

The Death God Mingwang was cold and he asked with great coldness as he pointed at the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress, "So this is why you had entered the arena as a contestant?! Are you trying to drive me to the grave by disobeying my direct orders never to enter the arena trials? That is the only place in this entire wonderland that can harm the two of you!"

He stopped for a while to reproach all three of his protégé by looking at them one by one before continuing, "Do you really think the Dragon Faction is without any influence in Bliss City and they will not know that you have entered the arena as contestants? And how many times must I tell you that you can't even trust some of your own even in the Death Faction. Over time, some of them may even allied with the more powerful Dragon Faction. Are the three of you stronger than Gu Bugu and Gu Sangu combined? What if they had led all the powerful cultivators from the Dragon Faction just like this time to screw you up? Have you forgotten that they have the Dragon Subduing Orb to Imbue themselves with the dark powers of the Dark Sol Dragon as well?"

The Death God Mingwang or Yun Chi was so furious that she had rebuked them almost nonstop, causing tears to swell in the golden eyes of the three maidens in front of her.

The Smiling Divine Maiden was trembling as she answered with her captivating look but she had lost her usual captivating faint smiles, "We are absolutely loyal to our master here. If our master has any orders for us, we will not disobey. The very reason why we had entered the arena is to kill Ji Yuan for our master."

She had emphasized the reason again even though she had just finished explaining the details to her master. And this reason was very weak because she did not kill Ji Yuan when he was at his most vulnerable. Moreover like the Lovely Empress, she had fallen in love with Ji Yuan as well.

The Death God Mingwang hummed coldly as she said with great sarcasm, "Then why didn't you fight with Ji Yuan? I didn't see you fight with Ji Yuan when I was there watching you. On the other hand, I saw the two of you embracing Ji Yuan."

The Smiling Divine Maiden said with trembling lips, "Our original intention is to kill Ji Yuan by luring him into the arena trial. But things happen and our honey-traps didn't work as intended…"

"A great deal of things happened right?" The Death God Mingwang interrupted with great amusement. "And you dare to come back?"

The Smiling Divine Maiden slowly said as her tears flowed down but she had to defend Ji Yuan at a risk of being punished, "I know what I did is unpardonable. That is why your loyal servant is here to receive my punishments. Ji Yuan promises us that he won't make an enemy out of you and that is why we didn't fight him. We believe in the oath that he has made to the Great Beyond Goddess...."

The Death God Mingwang ignored the Smiling Divine Maiden as she pointed at the Lovely Empress, "How about you? From what I can see, have you already fallen hopelessly in love with that Ji Yuan?"

The Lovely Empress sobbed tearfully with great softness and her tears were flowing nonstop, "I… I am also here to receive my punishments. No matter what, I won't betray my master. The three of us here will never betray the kindness that our master has shown us."

As for if she had fallen in love with Ji Yuan, she had refused to answer her master because she had really fallen in love with Ji Yuan…

"Do you know what you did wrong?" Asked the Death God Mingwang and he had slowly raised his profound voice.

The Lovely Empress nodded lightly, "We have also caused the leadership of the Dragon Faction to be destroyed. What we did is unpardonable even though we are only trying to help our master to kill Ji Yuan."

The Death God Mingwang hummed coldly, "WRONG! Your biggest mistake is to try to kill Ji Yuan! Ji Yuan is a friend of mine and I refuse to let anyone touch him!"

The Smiling Divine Maiden, Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress were suddenly looking shocked when they had heard the Death God Mingwang; did they hear it wrongly?

The Death God Mingwang said with great displeasure, "Now you know why I am so angry with the three of you? How dare you take things into your own hands and try to kill Ji Yuan! If you have killed him, I will also kill you in retaliation!"

The Lovely Empress trembled uncontrollably before she asked timidly, "That day when I had asked master who your enemy was, master has answered that Ji Yuan is your mortal enemy and that master is fated to be defeated by him. That is why… we had tried to kill Ji Yuan for you…"

Zhi Jiugong was also saying with startled eyes, "When master touched your belly, we thought that Ji Yuan was the one that had wounded our master. That was the reason why we were taking this vendetta for master."

The Death God Mingwang hummed really coldly before he sighed, "You know that I have already summoned all the members of the Dragon Faction to the Dragon Hall?"

The Smiling Divine Maiden, Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress were slowly nodding and they were all trembling; earlier the Death God Mingwang had already summoned them there to do some 'accountings' in the form of justice for the deaths of their leadership.

"Do you know what I will do?" Asked the Death God Mingwang.

Zhi Jiugong had burst into more tears as she answered tearfully, "Master will hand us over to them to be their play dolls. If this is to be our fate, your protégé Zhi Jiugong is willing to accept it."

The Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress were also weeping for they had long heard of the cruel brutality of the Dragon Faction in Bliss City.

But like Zhi Jiugong, they melancholy wept aloud. "If this is our fate, we will gladly accept this."

The Death God Mingwang grew even angrier when even her protégés had misunderstood her intentions, "They are all dead now, killed by my Avatar Killing Arrays."

Zhi Jiugong, Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress were all shocked; they knew that their master could summon multiple avatars with an immortal-step divine sword but they did not know that their master could kill anyone outside of the arena!

"My role is originally the executor here so this is not surprising. Or else how do you expect for us to take care of the traitors? Do you think that I am the Death God because it is just my fanciful title?" The Death God Mingwang had quickly answered the question that was in their minds.

"It is good that the top cultivators of the Dragon Faction were all killed inside the arena trials. I have a headache for the past several days on how to get rid of Gu Bugu, Gu Sangu and the four Dragon Kings. They are not cultivators that my avatars would be able to defeat easily in this wonderland. Together, they are truly formidable."

The Death God Mingwang had suddenly turned solemn, "Today I'll reveal a deadly secret of mine to you…"

All of a sudden, the Death God Mingwang had taken off 'his' mask and the face of a peerless person could be seen, lighting the Death Hall with the radiance of the Death God.

Indeed Zhi Jiugong, Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress had never seen such a beautiful man before and even Ji Yuan could only be ranked number 2.

Even if they were a maiden, they would also fall in love with such an astonishing peerless demeanor of their master.

All of a sudden Yun Chi had loosened her long hair and had allowed it to flow down like a river of binding silk before she said to them in her normal feminine voice, "This is my true voice and I am a maiden just like the three of you here. That is why I have never touched you in all these years. Do you now know the reason why? And I have come back to destroy the Dragon Faction."

Zhi Jiugong, Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress were all shocked; their master was actually a maiden?! And she was also such a stunning beauty too? But she had come to destroy the Dragon Faction?

"You may address me as the Death Goddess Yun Chi in the future and mistress instead of master." Yun Chi casually said to them. "I won't punish the three of you so get up now…"

She paused briefly as she waited for them to stand before continuing, "And by the way, Ji Yuan is my lord consort and also the father of my unborn child. Therefore, this is the reason why you mustn't touch him. Do you remember what I have said? This is your reward for your undying devotion toward me but tell no one about my true identity. I will also introduce you to my 4th protégé but she will rank higher than the three of you because she is also a 9th rank immortal goddess here and I have imparted to her my secret dual immortal profound art. Very soon, she will soon have her breakthrough to the 9th rank middle tier immortal positioning and she will be an immortal high goddess."

Zhi Jiugong, the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress did not know whether to laugh or cry when they had learnt that their 'master' had always been their 'mistress' and there were many secret things that they had only known today.

But they were not saddened at all because this would also mean that the Death Goddess Yun Chi would also not be laying her hands on Ji Yuan anymore…

Also, they would also be forgiven for messing up Bliss City and causing the Dragon Faction to lose all its current leadership.

The Lovely Empress could not resist a lovely chuckle now that her tears had dried, "Mistress, so how do you plan to defeat that old freak? Do you need my help?"

Yun Chi said coolly, "A big fight between us is inevitable. But don't you help me without my permission. I am really afraid of the mess that you would be making for me now."

The Smiling Divine Maiden had suddenly kneeled again and there were tears in her tears, "Mistress! I have a confession to make. Old freak is my father. The reason why he is here is to look for me and to destroy this wonderland. I hope mistress understands why I can't and won't fight against him."

By now, Yun Chi had already known that old freak was actually Ji Yuan's old master but this was the first time that she had heard that old freak was actually searching for his daughter in this wonderland. It was no wonder why old freak had kept coming back.

Yun Chi rolled her golden eyes and muttered a soft sigh, "He is really a troublesome old man…"

It was more complex now because he was also Ji Yuan's old master too.

The Lovely Empress chuckled softly, "Since that old freak is Sister Lixue's father, it is probably quite tricky for us to plot against him first. Why don't I try to trick Ji Yuan into staying at Bliss City instead? He is really very weak now..."

Yun Chi had suddenly said unpolitely to the Lovely Empress, "You are now confined for a day. Now go!"

The Lovely Empress: ...
