The Romantic Cultivator

Maiden Flower Ju and the other maidens had quickly brought Ji Yuan to see Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei who was also appearing shocked.

Naturally Xiao Muhan was not around as he was forbidden to follow them.

Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei gasped with shock as she touched Ji Yuan's chest, "What has just happened?"

Maiden Flower Ju panicky said, "Master Ji Yuan, he is punched to the death by that Xiao Muhan…"

Many of the maidens were also nodding as they said together, "Xiao Muhan has killed Master Ji Yuan. We have seen it with our very own eyes."

Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei: …

She said quietly, "Master Ji Yuan is not dead yet. He has just entered into a state of animated death…"

Maiden Flower Ju and the rest of the maidens were startled, "Master Ji Yuan is still alive?"

Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei nodded slowly, "Leave us alone. I see what I can do."

Maiden Flower Ju and the rest of the maidens respectfully acknowledged her order and as they turned to leave, they began to mutter to one another. 

"Let's lock up this lecherous Xiao Muhan first. If anything happens to Master Ji Yuan, he shall pay with it with his life."

"To think that we have living under the same roof as this depraved Xiao Muhan who is always peeping at us…"

"He is nothing compared to Master Ji Yuan…"

"Master Ji Yuan not only help our mistress and he has also helped us to have a footing in Snowy Pavilion City…"

"It is such a pity that Master Ji Yuan has a beautiful face but he has to be a gay…"

"Is he in a relationship with that Xiao Muhan? They look quite close actually…"

Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei was flushing all of a sudden when she had heard that her followers have called Ji Yuan a gay.

When they were out of her personal room, she could not heave a soft sigh. "They wouldn't dare to spread rumors in front of me. Then, he must really be a gay. It is no wonder that he is uninterested in any maidens. So he in fact, doesn't have any cultivation partners elsewhere. It is no wonder that he has rejected me… and my sister as well…" 

She continued to sigh softly as she reached her spirit divine sense into the soul sea of his slumber body.

When she was inside his soul sea, she started to look at the vast expanse of inner spiritual sea that was all around as she quietly asked. "Fairy Anyang. Fairy Xiang Li. Master Ji Yuan. Are you there?"

Nothing.

Ji Yuan and his two spirit fairies were all not responding.

She was beginning to be panicky.

But she was sure that Master Ji Yuan was not dead because she could still sense the Golden Natal Divine Pearl that was deep in the depths of his inner spiritual sea.

She tried to extend her spirit divine sense deep into his inner spiritual sea to find out what was wrong.

This time she was much stronger than previously and even her spirit divine sense was way much stronger now; it was because she had regained her cultivation strength as a Divine Consort now. 

And very soon, she would also regain her cultivation strength as a Great Divine Consort.

But all of a sudden, she was startled.

It was because she had suddenly discovered a profound darkness that was hidden in his inner spiritual sea…

She was trembling now, not because she was naked but because this profound darkness had come from the True Devil God! 

She had previously found some of the traces of this profound darkness in some of the most ancient relics that were displaced in the Spirit Divine Realm.

But this profound darkness was extremely strong and it had also hidden itself very well.

If she was not Xu Yifei, even her own kind would not be able to sense this profound darkness.

She wanted to enter into Master Ji Yuan's inner spiritual seas to check further but she lacked the spiritual strength to do so as she did not have the permission of Master Ji Yuan to enter his soul sea in the first place.

The very reason why she could even enter his soul sea in the first place was due to her formidable spiritual strength as Divine Consort Xu Yifei now; she was now far stronger than previously. 

But how matter how powerful she was in this aspect, she still could not enter deep into Master Ji Yuan's inner spiritual sea and without his permission, she had plenty of spiritual restrictions in place and could easily suffer a backlash. 

All of a sudden she was startled; it was because this profound darkness seemed to be able to sense her spiritual presence and it felt offended. 

And in that moment, she saw that this profound darkness seemed to be shaped like a dark sword.

Once again she was startled; it was because this was a true divinity sword and was also a complete profound treasure unlike the broken profound relics that she had previously seen.

How should there be a profound darkness sword in a celestial body?

Surely the celestials have no idea who the True Devil God even is, for the Spiritas is the closest race to that ancient era. 

She did not want to admit this but the Spiritas Spirit Race was once the ancient minions of the True Devil God and they had once fought against the Immortal Gods of the Great Beyond.

That was why the Spiritas men worshipped the True Devil God as their True God and there were many profound darkness relics that were still scattered throughout the Spirit Divine Realm.

And there were supposedly even more of these profound darkness relics in the Greater Spirit Divine Realm, which was their immortal realm.

When she had thought of that fateful day when she had lost her cultivation due to her failed ascension, there was still a shiver in her heart.

She was once a Great Divine Consort, the strongest Divine Consort in Snowy Pavilion City and her reputation resonated throughout the Spirit Divine Realm.

That day, when her champion had won in the Spiritas Pavilion Tower that was held every 500 years and she was supposed to receive the spiritual power from the Great Spiritas that were from the Great Spirit Divine Realm to complete her ascension, she had suddenly hesitated…

It was because she had the most extraordinary spirit divine sense and she had suddenly sensed the presence of profound darkness in this 'spiritual gift' from above.

Because she had hesitated in the middle of her ascension, she had suffered a cultivation backlash to her cultivation core.

And from that day onward, there was no more Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei and there was only the lowly Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei.

Today, she had discovered that there was profound darkness that was hidden in Master Ji Yuan's body and this had caused her to tremble.

But all of a sudden, her fear had dissipated because she could suddenly sense that this profound darkness was in fact benevolent and was simply trying to push her out of Master Ji Yuan's soul sea.

With a soft sigh, she retreated her naked spiritual body out of Master Ji Yuan's soul sea and her spirit divine sense was back to the outside now.

It seemed that there was nothing she could do but wait…

This was all too strange even for her.

As she looked at the beautiful face of Ji Yuan that was motionless, there was a weird stirring in her heart.

Her small rosy lips began to tremble…

She could not help bending forward to kiss slightly on his beautiful face…

Maybe she was sad for him for his current predicament and she was helpless to help him…

Or maybe she just wanted to comfort him…

Or even maybe she was sad that he was a gay…

Or maybe she could not help him to get rid of the profound darkness in his soul sea and she could only watch as he become more degenerated and depraved over time…

Or maybe she…

All of a sudden Ji Yuan had suddenly opened his golden eyes and he was shocked to see that Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei was kissing him…

Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei was also shocked when Ji Yuan had suddenly opened his golden eyes and she began to stumble forward even more and soon, she was pressing her lips against his lips in a kiss. 

Both of them were suddenly startled and awkward…

A flustered Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei quickly moved away from Ji Yuan and panicky said, "This is not what you think it is…"

A bewildered Ji Yuan was staring at Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei and he was questioning himself why he was now in Concubine Fairy Xu Yifei's person room?

He was trying to recollect what had happened...

He remembered that Xiao Muhan had punched him and he could not remember the rest...

Dang! When did Xiao Muhan become such a good puncher?! This is impossible! 

Even Fairy Anyang and Fairy Xiang Li who were suddenly awakened were shocked by what they were seeing.

Xiang Li asked Ji Yuan: Big Brother, what has just happened? And why are the two of you kissing? How come I don't remember anything?

Ji Yuan quickly inspected his toga to check if his clothing was intact…

Fairy Anyang said: Erm, maybe the rebels are right after all. The maidens here are really decadent. My lord, luckily nothing has happened to you. I've just checked. Your yang essence is still intact…

Xiang Li looked a little disappointed and asked: So there is no show?! 

When the flustered Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei saw that Ji Yuan was checking his clothing, she was even more flustered; it was because she was thinking that he might have thought that she had secretly drugged him and even violated him.

Because she knows now that Ji Yuan is gay, this matter is extremely taboo to him…

She felt like digging a hole to hide her awkwardness now…

She had never thought that the noble Xu Yifei would be in this awkward situation today that she could not explain herself...
