The Romantic Cultivator



Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue was playing with her newborn baby, a baby boy when Saintess Fang Zhenfei had suddenly dropped in into her personal room.

Her already loveliness and cuteness level were further enhanced when she saw that it was Saintess Fang Zhenfei aka Jiajia. 

She began to chuckle with a playful wink, "Jiajia, so it is you! My personal room is never secure against you. You can simply come and go as you wishes, hehe."

She did not mind this intrusion at all because she was proud of this new friend and bosom sister. Although they had known for 100 years now but it was only in the past year or so that they had become really close.

Xue Qianxue was always grateful to Jiajia for bringing Ji Yuan and her together, even though this was actually not really Saintess Fang Zhenfei's original plan; Ji Yuan was just too unpredictable to follow any plans and he was always thinking funny. 

They had setup a ruse for Ji Yuan 100 years ago because they had all heard that he was infamous not attracted to any of the lovely maidens in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity and they wanted to know if he was really a gay since he had many drinking brothers. 

But it turned up that he was actually not… 

Meeting Jiajia for the very first time actually awakened something in Ji Yuan again after his bitter past relationships. 

She had guessed that even Jiajia had given up on trying to predict his moves and at one point had even sent Hua Wuwu and Hua Baiyue to ensure that he was at least doing something predictable.

When Jiajia saw Xue Qianxue, she was smiling too; it was because they seemed to be sharing the same thoughts.

She had no idea how Ji Yuan had managed to find the Goddess Tear while he was a fugitive from her and she had never expected that the Goddess Tear was hiding in a low level trial.

At one point of time, she was even trying to seek the Goddess Tear to enhance her own profound strength but it was just a legendary story and no one had ever seen one before. 

It was primary because the Goddess Tear only appeared to the most pure heart and the most desperate. Also, the Goddess Tear would never appear to the powerful and the greedy. 

Till today, she had no idea how Xiang Li the Goddess Tear was willing to become Ji Yuan's soul mate. Ji Yuan had no idea as well and he could only say, "I didn't think too much. I only want a friend…"

The truth was, Ji Yuan had too much heart demons and he was always trying to talk to himself to convince himself. Having Xiang Li as his new heart demon actually resolved many of his inner heart demons. He could not say no to his heart demons but at least he could say no to Xiang Li. Plus the fact was that Ji Yuan really only wished for a friend and he did not think of anything else. 

When Ji Yuan had first acquired Xiang Li, she had warned him that she was completely useless and asked him if he still wants to have her.

Ji Yuan reply was sincere and funny; he had simply told her to be quiet and watch him perform. A Sword Saint like him has his own pride and he believes that he is the best. 

Xue Qianxue chuckled sweetly, "What brings my Jiajia to visit me today?"

Jiajia slowly smiled, "You know that I have a purpose?"

Xue Qianxue slowly put down her baby on her bed before she walked over to Jiajia, "Saintess Fang Zhenfei aka the Palace Divine Master of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace is always so busy. Even if we are under the same roof, it is still impossible to talk with you."

Jiajia sighed softly, "I am really busy…"

Xue Qianxue interrupted her with a soft chuckle, "And now you are not?"

Jiajia smiled, "I am still busy."

Xue Qianxue chuckled with a nod, "So I guess that you are here because you are on official business, am I right?"

Jiajia nodded as she started to hold onto Xue Qianxue's hands gently, "You are right. I want you to take care of the other sisters and also… Ji Yuan."

Xue Qianxue was startled, "What do you mean? Jiajia, surely you are not planning to do anything reckless, am I right? This is so unlike you… maybe you can tell me your plans and we can look into it together?"

Jiajia shook her head slowly, "Among the sisters here, you are the strongest here and you are a great saintess of the purple lightning tribulation. So I want you to lead them out of the Eons Firmament Mountains and go into hiding until the trials of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth is over."

Xue Qianxue was upset, "You are really planning something and you are not telling me…"

But Jiajia continued, "Remember that you have to persist until the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth is over. Although there will be many golden celestials that have perished in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth but there will still be many, especially the strong great saints. They will be back stronger with ever with their profound treasures. Together, you can lead them to attack the Great Desolate Divine Palace and to expose the traitors from the 12 major celestial clans in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity."

Xue Qianxue was growing exasperated, "And what about you? You sound like you are no longer here and is preparing your funeral."

Jiajia ignored her and said slowly, "You must not allow the Great Demon God to lay his hands on you. Because you are the only one that has ever attained the Sacred Maiden Profound Art to the 9th level and he would want you to bear his demonic scions. Also, you must keep Little Princess out of his reach because he would sacrifice her if he is desperate enough to obtain more power from his Evil Veins Profound Art. A cultivator with the Evil Vein Profound Art is able to absorb another cultivator with the Evil Veins Profound Art."

Xue Qianxue was shocked, "The Great Demon God is willing to sacrifice his daughter?!"

Jiajia nodded slowly, "You can't use emotion attachments to describe these immortal gods. They have no hearts and only craved for more immortal power to ascend as a Beyond Divinity God."

Xue Qianxue asked unhappily, "Jiajia, please tell me your plans. I'll promise not to tell the others…"

All of a sudden Jiajia had coughed out golden blood and this shocked Xue Qianxue who asked, "Jiajia, what happens to you?"

Jiajia had turned pale immediately but she slowly said, "Sister Qianxue, I am dying."

Xue Qianxue was so startled that she took a step back, "Jia-jia, you don't mean it. Right?"

Jiajia sighed softly, "But don't worry. I won't allow the Great Demon God to get me..."

She added silently: After all, I am the daughter of the Great Goddess Alice…

Then she turned to look at the heavens above through the balcony window with a quiet prayer: Mother consort, I didn't see you for a long time and I don't think I ever will again…

Xue Qianxue had suddenly hugged Jiajia from behind her back, "Sister Jiajia, I don't know what to do if you are not around…"

Jiajia sighed softly, "You are smarter than most here. I am sure that you will be able to. If necessary, you should ask Ji Yuan to seek the help of the Goddess Tear. This may be our only hope against the Great Demon God."

Xue Qianxue said bitterly, "Can mere celestial cultivators like us hope to contest with the immortal power of these demonic beings?"

Jiajia had turned around suddenly as she taken out a blue glowing artefact core and placed it in the hands of Xue Qianxue, "This is my Xiao Ruan's artefact core. She is still alive but I lack the profound strength now to nurture her now. I hope that you can pass it to my Sister Sisi when she returns from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. She is stronger than Ji Yuan and so is my other sister, Fan Yuqing."

Xue Qianxue asked curiously, "We can depend on them?"

Jiajia did not nod or shake her head but said instead, "There is something that I should tell you now. We are all the daughters of the Great God Pangu, the True God of the Immortal Divine Realm. The reason why we are here in the Celestial Realm is because we are born as a celestial and we can't cultivate in the Immortal Realm." 

Xue Qianxue was gasping with shock, "Seriously?! You are the daughter of the Great God Pangu?! But you have sent them away to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth…" 

Jiajia slowly said, "It is because I didn't want them to risk their own lives to save the Celestial Realm. They are not as strong as me."

Xue Qianxue was startled, "Aren't they peaked great saintesses as well?"

Jiajia explained slowly, "Like my Sister Sisi, we have the bloodlines of the Primeval Phoenix as our bloodline from our mother consort is the Great Goddess Celestial Alice. But I also have the True Primeval Phoenix and my bloodline is stronger than my mother consort and my sister. Therefore, I can easily use profound power that is greater than that of the 7th cultivation realm here. However, my 2 other sisters aren't able to." 

Xue Qianxue was gasping with with disbelief when she had learnt that Saintess Fang Zhenfei has an immortal background, "Jiajia, you're also the daughter of the Great Goddess Celestial Alice. You have the most extraordinary background..."
