The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan decided to make the last-ditch attempt to persuade Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao not to stay by his side.

So he said to her, "Did you see my mask? Most of them do not know who I am and that is why I am wearing a mask. Even if you want to stay, I am afraid that the Ancient Race in this place will not allow you to stay. Also, these lofty Ancient Ones look down on humans and desolates like us. Hahaha…"

Ji Yuan was not exactly lying when he had said that; it was true that he did not have the right to allow her to stay in this place.

Ding Xiaoxiao asked him nonchalantly, "Does that maiden that is with you knows you are the masked man?"

Ji Yuan was quite perplexed when she had suddenly asked him this question, "She is actually one of the very few people to know who I am."

Ding Xiaoxiao was smiling suddenly, "That is good to know then…"

All of a sudden, she had flashed from the heavens above and she had suddenly tiptoed in front of Xuan Qiaoqiao, Juan Xian'Er, Li Yifen, Jun Qianfeng and the other senior figures of the Ancient Race! 

Her speed was extremely astonishing and she was even able to halt herself suddenly by tiptoeing on the ground before walking calmly toward the Cardinal Priestess Xuan Qiaoqiao! 

This startled all the Ancient Race and even Ji Yuan. 

Ji Yuan quickly followed after her too because he was worried that Ding Xiaoxiao may suddenly decide to massacre everyone.

After all, if there was no one left on the Nightfall Heights to give permission for Ding Xiaoxiao to stay then she did not even need any permission.

Ding Xiaoxiao walked calmly to Xuan Qiaoqiao, seemingly oblivious to the numerous cultivators around her as she said to her. "My friend. We have met again. Do you think that I may be able to stay in this place for a while?"

When she had said that, most of the Ancient Old Ones were startled by her as they did not know when their Cardinal Priestess had known such a powerful desolate immortal.

Even Xuan Qiaoqiao was surprised by this question as she was not expecting a visit by Ding Xiaoxiao all of a sudden.

She said with a startled look, "Sure, why not."

Ding Xiaoxiao smiled wryly to her, "Thank you, my friend."

The reason why she had asked Xuan Qiaoqiao was because she knows that she was a 8th realm cultivator and therefore must also be a important cultivator of the Ancient Race. 

She did not know that Xuan Qiaoqiao is the Cardinal Priestess at this moment. 

Ding Xiaoxiao then turned to a stunned Ji Yuan who had hurriedly landed behind her, "Did you hear that? I am allowed to stay here now."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

He was so stunned that he merely muttered, "Hahaha… That's good. That's good…"

Then he quickly said, "I've got to go now…"

The Cardinal Patriarch had suddenly halted him, "Senior, you are the benefactor of our Ancient Race. We have not really given you our profuse thanks the last time. Why don't we host a banquet for you before you leave? Or maybe you can stay to help us until the crisis to our Ancient Race is over?"

Cardinal Confident Jun Qianfeng who knows that the masked man was actually Ji Yuan began to smile, "That's right. Why don't senior stays to help us fight the Abyssal King Magog?"

Ji Yuan: …

Why did he have to land in this position to be surrounded by all these Cardinals? 

Millenium Jun Feitian was also saying, "That's right. Why don't senior stays with us for a while too? We can offer you our best profound pills and best attention that will cater to your needs…"

Li Yifen could not resist saying, "We have the best Harpies to sing for you and they are all beautiful maidens."

Ji Yuan: …

The Cardinal Pope said solemnly, "We have the best aged wines that we have been keeping in our wine cellars to serve to senior too…."

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes sheepishly behind his mask: Did he just say the best wines?! 

He was naturally very tempted…

But he was also worried that he may get drunk and may accidentally exposed himself…

Maybe he would even get killed by Ding Xiaoxiao while he was drunk and did not even know how he had died…

Thinking of this, he immediately said solemnly. "I will surely come to the aid of the Ancient Race when the time comes. But for now, I'd like to cultivate in peace."

When he had said that, he had leapt into the heavens and was flying off.

As he flew off, he was thinking weakly: Darn. Now I have to climb up this stupid mountain again…

Many of the Ancient Old Ones sighed heavily when they saw that their Great Patriarch Sword Saint could not stay. 

The Cardinal Patriarch turned to Ding Xiaoxiao as he asked politely, "Maiden, may we know your celestial title and your name?"

Any friend of their Great Patriarch Sword Saint is naturally their friend too. Also, didn't they see it quite clearly that their Great Patriarch Sword Saint had even patted her shoulders just now?

Moreover, she is also a friend of their Cardinal Priestess. 

Therefore, most of the leadership of the Ancient Old Ones were quite respectful toward her even though she is a desolate cultivator. 

Ding Xiaoxiao smiled pleasantly, "You may address me as Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily."

Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng had suddenly asked as she smiled, "I wonder if Maiden Xiaoxiao and our Great Patriarch Sword Saint are an item together?"

This question startled Ding Xiaoxiao, even Xuan Qiaoqiao and Juan Xian'Er were looking startled as well. 

Ding Xiaoxiao hesitated for a while as she looked longingly in the direction where Ji Yuan had disappeared, "An item together? Interesting question…"

Her voice was soft but it was still audible to these cultivation experts.

But she quickly smiled wryly to say, "I owe your Great Patriarch Sword Saint a favor. So I am thinking of repaying him while I am here…"

As she said that, she was actually looking at Xuan Qiaoqiao.

Xuan Qiaoqiao had of course remembered the gambit between Ji Yuan and Ding Xiaoxiao not long ago in the forest where they had both made an agreement for the loser to do one thing for the victor.

And Ji Yuan had said he wanted to bang Ding Xiaoxiao…

When she had thought of this, she was suddenly flushing coyly…
