The Romantic Cultivator



In the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, Inside the Goddess Star Palace;

It was 8 hours before Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had returned and she was gasping breathlessly. 

Old Reverend Beiyuan who was pacing nonstop ever since Grand Holy Saintess Yuexing had entered the portal that Ji Yuan had indicated, was absolutely delighted when he saw that she had returned. 

He did not even scolded Ji Yuan nor Shui Xisi as they began to fight with each other. 

It was because Ji Yuan had suddenly realized that Shui Xisi was the one that had humiliated him so many centuries ago and he had sworn to avenge his humiliation (See Chapter 169).

Shui Xisi had actually thought of sparing Ji Yuan that day as she was intrigued by him and did not want to ruin their first impression as she was in the guise of an old woman. 

However, in the end, she could not resist on 'playing' him for a while before the White Sword Monarch arrived at the scene. 

She did not exactly fight with the White Sword Monarch but she had sensed his coming and that this opponent was not going to be an easy one. Since her intention was just to check Ji Yuan's skills and to teach him a lesson, she had quickly fled into the darkness.

And Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi had really fought with their fists for the past 8 hours, much to the surprise of Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng and the Lovely Empress. 

This time round Ji Yuan was much stronger and he could not be bullied by Shui Xisi. 

The three maidens had tried to break off but gave up eventually. It was because they were confused by their fights; Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi were both not using their full profound strength and they appeared to be aiming for the faces. 

Bai Qianfeng was well aware of how strong Shui Xisi really was and that she had got the immortal sword of the Great Goddess Alice. In the end she told Yun Chi and the Lovely Empress. "Let them fight shamelessly since they like to fight."

When Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing had returned, Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi were still fighting but they stopped when they saw her as well.

Ji Yuan was breathlessly and was dazed by the scratches on his beautiful face; he was thinking, how did Sisi have so much profound strength in her soul sea?

On the other hand, Shui Xisi or Sisi was unfazed at all and she was laughing jovially behind him while mocking. "Ji Yuan, you are a few million years too early to punch my face."

The Lovely Empress muttered weakly to herself, "They have finally stopped wasting their profound strength. What exactly happens between them?"

She had never seen Ji Yuan so hot faced in the past. 

Ji Yuan was actually not angry, especially when he had learnt his assailant was actually Shui Xisi. He just felt awkward and shameful that it was actually Shui Xisi. His only small consolation was that he had banged Sisi several times already to make up for his humiliations. 

He had only thought of teaching Sisi a little lesson but she was proving to be an extremely tough nut for him to crack and she got a miracle art that could cause his profound strength to falter. 

But of course, none of them were serious and did not draw their divine weapons. 

Also, they were pretty used to try to beat each other up and were also amusing themselves with the time here. 

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing was smiling when she saw Ji Yuan and Old Reverend Beiyuan, "He is right. This Ji Yuan is right. That is indeed the right portal. Unfortunately, I can't clear the next portal as well and would need his help again."

Old Reverend Beiyuan took a look at the smiling Ji Yuan before he muttered weakly, "He is just lucky to solve this portal. It doesn't mean that he is a genius…"

"Speaking of geniuses," Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing took a look at Old Reverend Beiyuan. "Aren't you supposed to acknowledge me as a genius if I can go to Room 25?'

Old Reverend Beiyuan was startled and he was suddenly blinking his golden eyes weakly, "Erm…"

Then he seized Ji Yuan with a loud chuckle, "Young celestial, consider yourself lucky today."

Ji Yuan was startled that Old Reverend Beiyuan had suddenly flashed next to him and had seized him like a powerless cultivator, "Let me go. What are you doing? And what do you mean?"

Yun Chi was startled and she was shouting, "Let go of Ji Yuan at once!"

Even the Lovely Empress, Shui Xisi and Bai Qianfeng were panicky and they were shouting the same as well. 

Fairy Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang were also shocked inside Ji Yuan's soul sea and they were both shouting: let's go of our big brother immediately! 

"What are you trying to do?" Even Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing was startled that Old Reverend Beiyuan had suddenly seized Ji Yuan by his neck. 

Ji Yuan muttered weakly as he muttered breathlessly to Old Reverend Beiyuan, "Did I happen to offend you by any chance?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed, "Hohohoho. You have misunderstood me. I have the intention of making you my protégé disciple. That is all."

Ji Yuan was stunned as well as the others.

"Is this the way you ought to ask me to be your protégé disciple?" Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "Erm, why don't you let me go first?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed jovially, "Hohoho, so you have accepted?"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Is he forcing me to accept him as his master?!

But he muttered weakly, "I don't get it. Why did you want to accept a lowly celestial as your protégé disciple? Am I a talented cultivator or something? Why not the others?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan shook his head and laughed, "Naturally I have my own reasons to make you my protégé disciple instead of the others. Now, your answer is Yes or No?"

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes breathlessly and knew that he could not freed himself so he had to suck his thumb and said, "Alright master but can you let go of me at once?"

Old Reverend Beiyuan laughed jovially before he released Ji Yuan from his grip, "Hohohoho, from today onward, you're my protégé disciple now."

Ji Yuan: …

He was totally wordless to answer him and he did not even know why Old Reverend Beiyuan had suddenly wanted to make him into his protégé disciple.

Old Reverend Beiyuan turned to look at Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing with jovial laughter, "You may be a genius but it is my protégé disciple that has helped you to solve the portal. Therefore, as his master, I am the genius of the geniuses."

Ji Yuan: …

Yun Chi, the Lovely Empress, Shui Xisi, Bai Qianfeng: …

Fairy Xiang Li, Fairy Anyang: …

Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing: …

When Ji Yuan and the others had heard him, they were all stunned.
