The Romantic Cultivator



The regal Cardinal Harpy smiled wryly to Ji Yuan, "Come, follow me."

With that, she had walked away and seemingly away from the Argos Palace and leaving behind an upset Jun Qianfeng with Ur Muyuan.

Ji Yuan hurried after her and when they had exited out of the Argos Palace, he asked her curiously. "Where are we going?"

The regal Cardinal Harpy smiled at him, "Are you really a slave?"

Ji Yuan stammered a little, "Of course I am a slave. I am descended from a slave and my whole family are slaves too."

The regal Cardinal Harpy smiled, "A slave won't ask question like you do unless his master allows him to do so."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan, sooner or later, you will end up killing yourself by talking too much…

But he quickly explained, "This is my first time in such a beautiful place. So, I am a little anxious and curious too. Hahaha…"

The regal Cardinal Harpy smiled, "We are going to my Cathedral of Songs. After all, I am the Cardinal Harpy of this palace. Therefore, you will be a slave of my Cathedral of Songs."

Ji Yuan muttered, "I see. Thanks for enlightening me…"

Then he could not resist asking, "I am a little confused about the Cardinal titles in this place. The Cardinal Confidant seems a little squeamish in front of you. Is it because you are ranked in a higher hierarchy in the Cardinal titles than her?"

The regal and beautiful Cardinal Harpy smiled wryly, "Not exactly. In terms of our Cardinal hierarchy, we are equal."

Ji Yuan was bewildered, "Then?"

She giggled softly, "It's no wonder why you are puzzled earlier. I'm an elder, that's why and Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng is my junior. That's why. Therefore, she has to be a little subservient to me."

Ji Yuan nodded; this makes sense to him now.

And he was thinking: This Cardinal Harpy here may be an elder but she looks friendly enough. Therefore she isn't a spy for sure…

Fairy Anyang interrupted his thoughts: My lord! Looks can be deceiving! Maybe she is faking it and you will suffer when you reach her palace. Remember the warnings of that Cardinal Confidant earlier! 

Ji Yuan protested immediately: I trust her more than that Cardinal Confidant.

Xiang Li giggled: I trust both of them.

Ji Yuan: …

He weakly said: Xiang Li, you trust any beautiful maidens. This is wrong and the wrong thinking! 

While Ji Yuan and the Cardinal Harpy were walking to another beautiful white palace on the plateau, an angry bald man with his six entourage of winged helm cultivators were seen marching in their direction.

Ji Yuan had naturally recognized him to be Jun Feitian and he was frowning why he was approaching in such an angry manner in his direction?

But he was not worried. It was because the Cardinal Harpy seemed to have more authority over the Cardinal Confidant and the Cardinal Confidant was earlier able to suppress this Jun Feitian. 

Therefore, he did not believe that this Jun Feitian would dare to be insolent in front of the Cardinal Harpy.

But to his surprise, Jun Feitian was shouting angrily. "How come this slave is able to walk out of the Argos Palace? Why did you bring him out from there?!"

His shouts stunned Ji Yuan who was not expecting that this Jun Feitian could behave so insolently in front of the Cardinal Harpy.

Don't tell me this Jun Feitian is also an elder? And he is only deferent to his elder sister earlier? 

The Cardinal Harpy smiled calmly, losing none of her beautiful regalness, "So it is Millenium Jun Feitian. This slave has a talent for music and I have the intention to bring him to my Cathedral of Songs. You have a problem with that?"

Jun Feitian mocked angrily, "He is good in music? Or is it because of his beautiful face? Surrender him to me at once!" 

The Cardinal Harpy ceased her smiles and hummed coldly, "Surrender him to you so that you can whip him to the death? Dream on!"

An enraged Jun Feitian raised his fists, "He is nothing but a mere slave. Her Holiness the Cardinal Priestess needs no distractions like a lowly human slave! Therefore, he must die today!"

The Cardinal Harpy said coldly, "He is under my protection. Also, he is brought back by the Cardinal Priestess. Surely, you don't want to displease the Cardinal Priestess or is it because you don't care about it?"

Jun Feitian ignored her and angrily shouted at Ji Yuan, "You there! You say you are good in playing the music? What music are you are capable of playing?"

The Cardinal Harpy seized to speak for Ji Yuan with a wryly look, "He is good with blowing the flute."

Ji Yuan weakly said, "Yeah. I am really good with blowing the flute."

Xiang Li agreed too: Yeah! My big brother is really great with blowing the flute! He is the Master! 

Ji Yuan: …

Anyang: …

Jun Feitian stared angrily at Ji Yuan, "Good with blowing the flute?! I don't believe!"

The Cardinal Harpy smiled, "Believe it or not, it is up to you. He is mine now."

Jun Feitian continued to ignore her and said angrily to Ji Yuan, "Slave. If you don't come with me, you will surely regret this day. I don't believe that you can hide all the time in the Cathedral of the Songs all the time and I don't believe that the Cardinal Harpy will always be around. I can always kill you anywhere else and no one will care about it. After all, you are just a lowly slave!"

Ji Yuan thought: This man has the greatest suspicion to be a spy…

Anyang muttered weakly: A spy won't be so obvious…

But Ji Yuan replied instead, "I am a slave of the Cardinal Harpy now and she is free to dispose of me as she wishes. Unless it is her will, I can't come with you."

The Cardinal Harpy was pleased with Ji Yuan's reply and she chuckled softly, "Millenium Jun Feitian, you have heard him, right? Now, please leave quickly or don't blame me for being nasty with you in front of your guards."

Jun Feitian appeared to be taken aback but he continued to stare coldly and angrily at Ji Yuan for a while before he said angrily, "You slowly slave. Watch your steps carefully!"

With that, he had walked off angrily with his 6 guards.

Ji Yuan simply shrugged his shoulders and did not care for his threats.
