The Romantic Cultivator



The regal and beautiful maiden that was titled the Cardinal Harpy looked at Ji Yuan and smiled to him, "What musical instruments are you able to play?"

Ji Yuan had no idea what exotic musical instruments were popular in the Dark Abyssal Realm. However, all music had the same principle and he was particularly good at it when he was in the Dream Trial.

So he answered, "I am good in all the musical instruments. Maybe you can show me one and I try to play it?"

Jun Qianfeng interrupted him coldly, "This is quite a boast. You are not afraid of overblowing your air?"

But the Cardinal Harpy simply laughed softly as she displayed a long flute from her spatial belt, "How about this?"

Ji Yuan saw that this long flute had 13 holes in it and it was indeed something that he had never played before. 

But he was still confident that he would be able to play this.

So he took the long flute and said nonchalantly, "I didn't play this type of musical instrument for a long time. Give me a little while to get used to it…"

Then he smiled to the regal maiden, "Your Cardinal Harpy, you must really be very good in playing the flute for having such an exquisite flute with you."

This flute was actually a profound treasure and was forged from the heavenly relic so it was also a divine weapon as well.

The regal maiden smiled faintly, "Indeed. I am good in playing the flute."

When Xiang Li had heard this in Ji Yuan's soul sea, she was immediately giggling: Big Brother, did you hear that? She is really good in playing the flute. 

Ji Yuan: …

Anyang: …

Ji Yuan muttered weakly to Xiang Li: Not that flute…

He quickly returned to check the long flute; he was soon blowing on it and it sounds terrible. 

Jun Qianfeng and Ur Muyuan were both laughing softly now when they had heard Ji Yuan. 

"This is called good in playing? A slave is indeed still a slave." Jun Qianfeng smirked coldly. 

As for the regal maiden, there was a small frown from her looks. 

But Ji Yuan ignored the mocking from Jun Qianfeng and continued to blow a few more times with the flute, producing terrible sounds each time. 

This only caused Jun Qianfeng to laugh even colder and there was soon a dark look that was upon the regal maiden.

The regal maiden said slowly to Ji Yuan, "4444, that's enough already…"

"Wait!" Ji Yuan grinned, "I was only testing the sounds. After all, this flute isn't mine and I am not quite accustomed to it yet. But I am ready now."

And he started to blow at the flute and almost immediately, a beautiful and serene sound was being produced by Ji Yuan.

This music was enticing and it was so mesmerizing that everyone else in the great hall of the Argos Palace had stopped what they were doing and hundreds of them were all looking in Ji Yuan's direction.

There were stunned looks from Jun Qianfeng and Ur Muyuan at the same time; they had never heard such beautiful and mesmerizing music before. This music stirred their emotionless hearts and they were staring blankly at Ji Yuan…

The regal maiden blinked her eyes and she was gasping softly, "This is really very beautiful to listen to. I've never heard anything like this and I didn't think that this can be done by using a flute…"

Ji Yuan was actually the most renowned poet in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. Also, he was highly proficiency in music. As a poet that was also good in music, he could easily blend the music into poetry language that was equally beautiful. During his time in the Dream Trial, he had become extremely good in polishing his musical skills.

That was why Ji Yuan was confident that he could play any musical instruments that were given to him.

The regal maiden was smiling wryly now, "Good. He shall join my Cardinal Harpies then. I shall even consider making him a Harpy too."

Jun Qianfeng was shocked, "Make him a Harpy?! No slave has ever become a Harpy before!"

The regal maiden stared coldly at Jun Qianfeng, "This is my right. Does the Cardinal Confidant have the right to interfere with my decision?"

Jun Qianfeng muttered, "No…"

Ji Yuan saw that Jun Qianfeng seemed to be afraid of this regal maiden here and he supposed that it was because it could be that the Cardinal Harpy had a higher position in the hierarchy than the Cardinal Confidant. 

Seeing this as a good opportunity to escape from the clutches of this Jun Qianfeng as not to become a male harlot, Ji Yuan played the flute to an even more mesmerizing level. 

The regal maiden was clearly pleased with Ji Yuan's performance and did not interrupt him until he had finally finished.

When Ji Yuan was done, he was grinning to the regal and beautiful maiden. "How is it? Did I pass your test?"

He pretended to be so focused in playing the flute that he did not hear the exchanges that were between Jun Qianfeng and her.

The regal maiden smiled with a pleased look, "This is the most excellent piece of music that I've ever heard in my life in fact. Naturally, you have passed the test. From now onward, you shall join me as part of my Cardinal Harpies…"

Jun Qianfeng interrupted coldly all of a sudden, "4444! If you join her, you will surely regret it. Remember the Cardinal Priestess has placed you in my hands…"

"We should allow this 4444 to decide, am I right?" The regal maiden smiled wryly as she interrupted her.

Jun Qianfeng asked Ji Yuan again, "4444, do you choose to go with me or with the Cardinal Harpy?"

The choice presented to Ji Yuan was clear and he immediately grinned, "I shall go with the Cardinal Harpy!"

Jun Qianfeng appeared to be shocked with Ji Yuan's decision as she stared angrily at him, "You will surely regret your choice! Don't come crying back to me when you've regret it!"

Ji Yuan continued to grin, "I won't."

Anything was better than being a male harlot to the big size female abyssals.
