The Romantic Cultivator

After a few days Ji Yuan was actually quite surprised to see that the two maidens Yun Chi and Qiu Xiuyu were actually getting along very well.

Both of them even know that they were now pregnant with Ji Yuan's child as well.

They were chatty except that they did not let Ji Yuan into their conversation. This caused him to think that they were gossiping about him.

One day, Qiu Xiuyu panicky said to everyone. "I've just received an urgent message from the protégé grandmaster that the heretic cultivators are grouping to attack our sect. The situation is not very good. They have even unsealed a legendary demonic beast the Dark Tyr to use against us."

This got Ji Yuan and Yun Chi attention immediately as they looked curiously at her.

"Legendary demonic beast? Sounds very badass." Ji Yuan smiled bitterly. He began to wonder if his fourth realm profound strength would be enough to defeat this legendary demonic beast.

So he took a look at Yun Chi…

Yun Chi smiled, "Don't look at me. You're the hero."

Ji Yuan: …

You are not planning to give a helping hand, is it? Even though we are on the same boat…

As though Yun Chi could read his thoughts, she smiled coyly as she patted her belly. "You don't want anything to happen to your unborn daughter, am I right?"

Ji Yuan was startled by her reply as he muttered weakly, "Right, right…I'm the hero…"

Even Qiu Xiuyu could not resist poking fun at Ji Yuan as she touched Ji Yuan's belly with a playful chuckle, "My lord, you're the only one who doesn't have a big belly. So you will get a chance to be a hero."

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes as he muttered, "I never want to be a hero…I actually never a busybody. You know heroes usually die tragically."

That's right. He never wants to be a hero in the first place.

Yun Chi chuckled, "That is why a hero is always a hero. If he doesn't die, how can he a hero? Only heroes that die will be remembered as heroes."

Ji Yuan frowned, "Yun Chi, which side are you on?"

She is as sharp witted as ever before…

"Do you even need to ask?" Yun Chi winked at him. "Of course I'm on the hero side. Don't worry, when you are dead, I will sing your praises to our daughter on what a great hero her father is."

Then she whispered to her belly, "My little precious, do you agree that your father is a great hero?"

A cute soft voice chuckled from Yun Chi's belly, "Yes, my papa is a great hero!"

Ji Yuan: …

,m Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

I think I've better kept my mouth shut in front of Yun Chi…

"My lord…" Qiu Xiuyu had suddenly turned solemn. "My Sister Yun Chi…"

She began to sigh deeply, "This legendary demonic beast that we call the Dark Tyr cannot be underestimated and is a terrifying monster. Thousands of years ago, a dozen Ascend Realm Cultivators, the best from the seven celestial orthodox clans joined hands together to seal the Dark Tyr. Although the Dark Tyr was sealed but all the Ascend Realm Cultivators lost their lives. They were just one step to ascending the heavens to become a true celestial but…alas…"

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "Then this legendary demonic beast must be truly powerful."

Qiu Xiuyu nodded, "Our ancestor patriarchs have used the seven heavenly profound treasures of the seven celestial orthodox clans to seal this monster. I didn't think that we will bear witness to this Dark Tyr again. Indeed, a calamity is about to befall the entire seven celestial orthodox clans now."

She added fearfully, "This Dark Tyr is unkillable hence we call it the legendary demonic beast."

Ji Yuan turned to look at Yun Chi, "What do you think about this monster?"

Yun Chi smiled, "Why do you ask me? You're the hero, not me."

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes before he answered weakly, "This Dark Tyr is able to kill 12 half-step celestials. Naturally we can't underestimate it. I just wonder how the heretic cultivators are able to unseal such a terrifying legendary demonic beast all of a sudden? After all, this monster had been sealed for thousands of years already. Moreover if this legendary demonic beast is so terrifying, how is it possible for the heretic cultivators to control it?"

Yun Chi smiled, "Maybe I do have an answer to that."

"Oh?" Ji Yuan said.

"A powerful cultivator must have broken the seal and has contracted this legendary demonic beast as a spirit pet to the leader of the heretic cultivators." Yun Chi smiled.

Ji Yuan was suddenly staring at Yun Chi before he said weakly, "You sound as if you have bear witness to it yourself. Don't tell me that you are that 'powerful cultivator'."

Yun Chi realized that she had a slip of tongue so she covered her mouth as she chuckled, "Why are you so smart today."

Ji Yuan, Qiu Xiuyu: …

Ji Yuan, Qiu Xiuyu: …

Ji Yuan, Qiu Xiuyu: …

Yun Chi quickly explained with a soft sigh, "The leader told me that he can bring me to his mountain spiritual vein to meditate if I can unseal the Dark Tyr for him. In the end, he brought me to his sect most secret cultivation chamber to meditate but I realize that there is no spiritual vein in that place at all! He doesn't even know what a spiritual vein look like…alas!"

Ji Yuan bitterly said, "Sometimes the heretic cultivators can be quite ignorant. They cultivate the power profound arts and they don't really spend that much time cultivating in meditation. Why didn't you cripple or kill him after that?"

Yun Chi explained, "Then I will have failed my trial. Do you want me to fail my trial?"

Ji Yuan weakly replied, "Of course not. Or else we won't meet in this place."

Yun Chi suddenly averted her golden eyes and she had a shy smile on her, "Moreover, I did promise a rascal that I won't kill unnecessary."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Haha…I wonder who this rascal is…"

Then he suddenly asked Yun Chi, "Is this Dark Tyr powerful then since you have seen it with your very eyes."

Yun Chi laughed, "I've no idea."

Ji Yuan frowned all of a sudden, "How come you have no idea?"

Yun Chi smiled, "In front of me, this Dark Tyr looks pretty docile to me."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "I think I've asked the wrong person here. Maybe she should be the one to confront this Dark Tyr then…"

Yun Chi had suddenly turned solemn, "Ji Yuan, be careful. This Dark Tyr is powerful. If you want to confront this Dark Tyr then you need plenty of luck. You have to remember that you only have your fourth realm profound strength here and you can't use your most powerful sword arts as well. "

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Thanks for sharing this with me."

Then he added with a bitter smile, "I also can't use my divine swords and my spirit animus here as well."
