The Romantic Cultivator



As the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong were checking Ji Yuan for his injuries, the Trial Spirit had suddenly announced. "All 9 of the Destroyers have now been eliminated…"

The profound voice of the Trial spirit was now back to its usual non gender voice that was used for the first two trials instead of the past 3 trials.

The Lovely Empress stared blankly at Ji Yuan, "You little rascal. You really did not lie? You have killed 7 of the Destroyers?"

Ji Yuan laughed, "I did tell you, right? By the way, erm… do you have any free of charge replenishing profound pill for me?"

The Thousand Sacred Swords and the Million Swords Field had sapped a large amount of profound strength from Ji Yuan.

The Lovely Empress hummed coldly, "Do you miss me or do you miss my profound pills more?"

Ji Yuan chuckled softly, "I miss your free of charge profound pills more…"

Needless to say, he got a hard kick from the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu.

Even then, she had taken out 3 large iron replenishing profound pills for him. "Here! Hmph!" 

Zhi Jiugong had also taken out 3 large iron replenishing profound pills for Ji Yuan. 

Ji Yuan laughed as he hugged the two maidens rightly in his arms before he smiled to the Lovely Empress, "You know that I was only teasing you, right?"

"Hmph! I don't!" The Lovely Empress coldly said but while she appeared to be cold, she was leaning coyly in Ji Yuan's arm.

Ji Yuan muttered silently, "Women…"

But he quickly chuckled softly as he said to them, "We should make a move away from this place first. We don't know if the other teams or other formidable profound beasts may be attracted to the noise here."

Zhi Jiugong displayed a faint smile as she said gently, "I agree. Let's move away from here first."

The Lovely Empress was also smiling while nodding, "Right. I don't want Ji Yuan to die in this place anytime soon. He is so weak. I may just decide to abandon him in this place if there are any threats. If he dies then I can't find him to pay for my profound pills anymore."

Ji Yuan: …

Do you have to add in so many additional nasty words? And aren't your profound pills free of charge? 

  But he did not dare to say it loud.

It was not because he was afraid of the Lovely Empress but because he knows that she was only teasing him. 

They had been through several life and death battles together, with the last one inside the Goddess Star Palace. At that time, she was fighting with her life for him against the terrifying guardians while he was idling and trying to find clues to the right portal for everyone to enter. 

While she was always saying to him that her profound pills were not free of charge but she had never charged him even once.

Also, the most important thing that had touched him was that she had given up an opportunity to ascend as an immortal to be with him.

The same goes to Zhi Jiugong and the Smiling Divine Maiden as well.

These three sisters have deep affections for him and Ji Yuan is not dumb to realize this.

"Why are you so quiet, Ji Yuan? You don't have anything to say to me?" The lovely smile that was on the Lovely Empress had vanished and a frown was replaced in her lovely alluring face.

Ji Yuan chuckled softy, "I want to say, I love the two of you. Haha…"

When he had said that, the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong were both startled and were both blushing. 

The Lovely Empress tried to urge but rather weakly, "Ji Yuan, you are too shameless! We are still in the middle of a trial!"

Although she had scolded Ji Yuan but in her heart, she was secretly delighted. 

Ji Yuan chuckled softly as he held them even more tightly, "Haha…"

Zhi Jiugong asked gently, "Ji Yuan, so what's the new plan now? It seems that the cultivators in our old team are mostly dead now. Except for Wang Gongzi, we spotted their dead bodies when we are coming for you."

Ji Yuan looked a little startled as he weakly said, "They are mostly dead? I didn't think that with 3 great saints, they are so weak."

"I am surprised too," Zhi Jiugong was forced to admit. "This is a little too strange, don't you think? And how did you kill that formidable Destroyer in the first place?"

Ji Yuan did not want to explain that it was due to the silver dragon god beast anymore since he himself had also found it to be difficult to explain. 

So he said, "Yeah. It took me a little luck to kill this one Destroyer too. But luckily for me, I am stronger. Haha…"

He had also given up on explaining that the Destroyer was also able to talk to him and an unknown spirit entity that called herself the name of Rey Pugpatine the Woke Empress had tried to kill him by taking over the Destroyer that was in the trial.

Seriously, he did not remember ever offending this Rey Pugpatine in the Spiritas Tower at all…

Maybe because he is too beautiful in his looks than this Rey Pugpatine?

Haha, this is the least likely reason. 

Ji Yuan quickly dropped this deduction. 

But at the same time, he was saying to the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong. "Our new plan is to go back to where the dead bodies of the cultivators are first."

The Lovely Empress asked curiously, "What for?"

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "Naturally, it is to retrieve the tokens that are left behind."

The Lovely Empress said with a puzzled look, "Ah?! We don't get any points from obtaining the same team tokens, you know."

Ji Yuan grinned, "Although we can't obtain any points from the same team tokens but the others can."

The golden eyes of the Lovely Empress and Zhi Jiugong shone with understanding all of a sudden as they realized what Ji Yuan's plans were now. 

Ji Yuan, Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress quickly backtracked to where the 5 dead bodies were last seen and retrieved a total of 5 tokens; the dead cultivators and their items had long been taken and were absorbed by the Spiritas Tower. 

However since their objective was the tokens so it did not matter to them and as a rule, Ji Yuan would avoid looting spatial rings and belts of the newly dead as a mark of respect. 

As for the dead Qin Gang, they did not go back to retrieve his token as they were cautious of what the spirit plant that had killed him would actually do.
