The Romantic Cultivator



Xiao Muhan was looking excited;

It was because he had finally found the 'Heavenly Fragrance Brothel', the best brothel in Snowy Pavilion City, according to what Ji Yuan had said to him.

It may take him some time to do so but it was totally worth the effort. 

It was because he was forced to become the living furnace of Matriarch Xi Jingping and in order to free himself from this fate, he had so abstained from any dual cultivation for at least a hundred years.

On paper, this sounded easy but this was not.

It was because it was quite unbearable for him, especially when he could see so many half-naked maidens around him all the time in this city.

This was the ultimate test of his willpower and it was something that he could no longer suppress; especially when he had to gain 100 Trust Points by banging a divine consort for this trial. 

He began to mutter to himself, "Sometimes I have to admit that Brother Ji Yuan is indeed the worm of my stomach. He knows me so well and he has checked this information for me. Haha…"

While he appeared to be at loggerheads with Ji Yuan most of the time and rarely agreed with him, but their friendship had actually come a long way…

In both their hearts, they were close brothers and Ji Yuan had even entrusted the names of the Black Hands to him in case he was no longer around one day. 

Ji Yuan was someone that could somehow provoke his friends around him to be at ease and to speak faster than they could even ponder. Mainly because he was so talkative for a supposedly 'Sword Saint' or maybe it was because he was a 'Great Poet' simply because he talked too much.

Half of the time, Ji Yuan was just talking rubbish. 

Only his real friends know about this and they did not take him seriously unless he started to act a little funny by acting upon it.

He had once tried to warn Ji Yuan when they were alone, "You know Brother Ji Yuan. You should talk less like those high level celestials. This will help your cultivation and keep your soul sea pure."

But Ji Yuan had replied him, "What is the point of keeping my soul sea pure when my body is already impure?"

Ji Yuan was of course referring to the time when he was captured by Little Princess and he was being made into her depraved slave for a month before he made his daring escape from Little Princess and the Evil Cultivation Palace.

He had lost his manhood to Little Princess and he was extremely bitter about this and did not tell anyone about his humiliating experience.

But Ji Yuan had told him before, "I hate Little Princess of the Evil Cultivation Palace the most."

Imagine his shock when he saw Ji Yuan and Little Princess together inside the Empyrean Warrior Empyrean…

He could only say to himself: I have better not take his little rascal's words too seriously. He can flip flop his words as easy as flipping over a prata. How the heck did he become a great saint in such a short time with his puny cultivation?

But he did not want to think about Ji Yuan for now.

It was because he had something more important to attend to.

Xiao Muhan smiled as he greeted the two maidens that was standing at the Heaven Fragrance Brothel, "I am Master Xiao Muhan and I am really rich. Bring me your best maidens in the brothel. I want to look at all of them. Haha…"

The maiden on the left said coolly, "I am afraid that we can't. Please leave immediately."

Xiao Muhan was growling, "Didn't you hear me? I am a rich patron. How dare you reject a rich patron like me?"

The maiden on the right hummed coldly, "No matter how rich you are, you still have to wait until it is night. Have you ever seen a brothel that opens in the day?"

Xiao Muhan: …

Xiao Muhan: …

Xiao Muhan: …

He has actually forgotten about this because this is a different heavenly realm than the Celestial Realm. So he did not think that it will be the same as the place where he has come from.

The maiden on the left added, "So please leave now. We hope that you will come tonight. There will be a show only for the richest patrons."

Xiao Muhan was startled, "What show?"

The maiden on the right smiled mysteriously, "The most beautiful maiden in Snowy Pavilion City will be performing a show. You won't regret attending the show tonight."

Xiao Muhan blinked his golden eyes, "Most beautiful maiden in the Snowy Pavilion City? Divine Consort Dongfang Xin will be in this show?"

Both maidens appeared to be startled and the maiden on the right said sternly, "Our divine consort is someone that is noble. How could she even be in a show to entertain the male spiritas. Don't you have any perverted ideas on our divine consort or we will report you as a rebel."

Xiao Muhan began to smile bitterly, "I was only just asking. I have the purest thoughts among all the men in the city…"

The maiden on the left warned him as well, "It better be. Rich or not rich, you are still a male so don't forget your place when you are here."

Xiao Muhan laughed weakly, "Of course I won't. Haha…"

But he was instantly curiously about this most beautiful maiden in Snowy Pavilion City…

Back to the Villa De Spirit Manni; 

Ji Yuan was now at a loss when a tearful Divine Consort Tang Manni had ordered for him to leave immediately.

Spirit Concubine Fay said to him, "I am afraid that you have to leave now."

Ji Yuan was not someone that would admit to a defeat so quickly so he raised his voice to say like a true poet to Divine Consort Tang Manni, "I know that I have hurt you really badly…"

He paused for a while before continuing with a sorrowful look, "But it is because I didn't want to hurt you. I do like you…"

All of a sudden Divine Consort Tang Manni had walked slowly to him and she was looking at him with a woeful look…

Ji Yuan continued like a pro actor, "In my heart, you are the purest and most beautiful maiden that I have ever met…"

Divine Consort Tang Manni muttered, "Master Ji Yuan…"

JI Yuan knows that he had touched her heart and he replied with a smile, "Ye-yess my dear…"

He did not finish his words because the sorrowful Divine Consort Tang Manni had suddenly slapped his face as she said coldly, "You are only interested to pursue me because you need 100 Trust Points to complete your trial. Try harder the next time but I won't let you have the chance."

Ji Yuan was stunned as he blinked his golden eyes: How the heck does she know about my trial mission?! 

Divine Consort Tang Manni raised her voice to say coldly, "Send him out of here. I'll never want to see this man ever again!"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

He did not even have the chance to show off his beautiful toga in front of her before he was kicked from her presence.

This was a blow to his manly pride…

If Xiao Muhan knows about this, he would probably be laughing and mocking at him for failing to win over Maiden 'Han Muyuan'.

Spirit Concubine Fay said to him weakly, "Please follow me, Master Ji Yuan."

Ji Yuan had no other choice but to leave; it was because he was only interested to court Divine Consort Tang Manni for his trial mission. Now that his scheme had been discovered, he was too ashamed to remain in this place. 

He muttered as he left the hall, "Farewell…"

Divine Consort Tang Manni buried her head on the table and she continued to weep most bitterly, "He has really left. He is only looking for me because of his trial mission and nothing else. Why didn't he explain a little more…"

The dozen female followers around her were all looking sorrowful and lost; they really did not know how to comfort their divine consort.

One of the maidens suggested weakly, "Maybe we ought to ask Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei to come to comfort her sister instead…"
