The Romantic Cultivator



All 4 divine consorts were now at their drinking table. 

And they were looking quite coldly at one another. 

Divine Consort Dongfang Xin was smiling, "It has been such a long time since we have all sat down together for a drink."

"Don't give me that crap about the last time," Divine Consort Tang Manni hummed coldly. "The last time was about our territory disputes and it was not even a friendly one."

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er giggled softly, "And I got the smallest territory. This isn't right…"

Divine Consort Dongfang Xin pointed at her with a soft rebuke, "Be quiet, Divine Consort Jie'Er. You have the least say in this place."

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er: …

"Oh yes?" Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er retorted loudly. "Let's be straight about this. Ji Yuan is my cultivation partner and I have also plenty of witnesses. He is mine."

Divine Consort Sun Dingjun chuckled, "Sister Jie'Er, I have also plenty of witnesses that are around that can prove that Ji Yuan isn't your cultivation partner and instead, he is actually interested in me."

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er laughed coldly as she slammed her hand loudly on the table, "Who is your Sister Jie'Er? I don't have a backstabbing sister like you. This is called a lover's quarrel and you have no right to snatch away my man."

Divine Consort Sun Dingjun, Divine Consort Tang Manni and Divine Consort Dongfang Xin looked a little startled; it was because Divine Consort Jie'Er was the most timid usually and she often back off without a fight as she was too poor to pay for the compensations of her female followers.

It seemed that this time round, she was really serious about obtaining this Ji Yuan. 

Divine Consort Tang Manni was not afraid of this outburst since she was a superior divine consort and only another superior divine consort like Dongfang Xin was able to contest with her. 

That was why the two weaker divine consorts Sun Dingjun and Ding Jie'Er had formed a sisterhood against Divine Consort Dongfang Xin and her.

Divine Consort Dongfang Xin smiled, "I can offer each one of you a champion that is at the saint level each in exchange for Ji Yuan. What do you think? In additional, I can give 1000 jade stones each to all of you if you are willng to back off from your claims."

Divine Consort Sun Dingjun said coldly, "This is indeed generous but no thanks."

Divine Consort Dongfang Xin smiled at Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er, "But I am sure that my Sister Divine Consort Jie'Er will be interested in my proposal, right?"

She had only got to eliminate them 1 by 1, for the right price of course.

But to her astonishment, Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er hummed coldly. "No, thanks. Not for any riches."

This remark had completely caught Divine Consort Dongfang Xin by surprise.

And she was not the only ones that were looking startled.

Even Divine Consort Sun Dingjun and Divine Consort Tang Manni were looking startled. It was because Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er was a famous gold digger and she could be easily bribed in the past. 

Divine Consort Dongfang Xin could not believe her ears and she raised her fingers, "5000 Jade stones. That is my limit. Jie'Er, this is your last chance."

She was looking a little irritated and she had even dropped addressing her as a divine consort.

5000 Jade stones was indeed a lot and it was more money than Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er had ever seen in her entire life.

But she knew that Ji Yuan was far richer than this and she did her maths already.

So she said firmly, "It is pointless to try to bribe me. No amount of money can move me…"

"She is lying." Divine Consort Sun Dingjun had suddenly interrupted her with a beautiful soft chuckle. "This Ji Yuan is a multi-billionaire. Look at her new spirit outfit. I bet that this is from him, right?"

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er was suddenly flustered, "So what if it is? He is my man and it is perfectly normal for him to buy spirit outfits for me, right?"

Dongfang Xin and Tang Manni were both gasping with shock when they had heard that Ji Yuan had brought Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er her profound spirit outfit and it looked really expensive.

Tang Manni was thinking: Multi-billionaire? How come I didn't know this Ji Yuan is so rich? 

She felt really upset with him because he was obviously trying to play with the feelings of these divine consorts. 

The reason why she did not want to tell Ji Yuan that she was a divine consort was because she wanted his real sentiments and not because of who she was. She did not want him to court her just because she was his trial objective and then he would betray her after 70 days.

Divine Consort Dongfang Xin was also thinking: There is a really rich patron tonight. Don't tell me it is him? No wonder he can afford to throw me a gold coin for free…

Tang Manni said aloud, "I say it again. Ji Yuan is my guest and I have known him since the very start. You should all know our sacred spiritas laws, right? I have the first right to claim Ji Yuan for my own."

Dongfang Xin once again flashed her gold coin, "Did you happen to forget about our other sacred spiritas law? I am his maiden now and I have plenty of witnesses…."

"No, you don't!" Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er had suddenly interrupted. "I am not sharing my man with anyone!" 

These 4 divine consorts were actually fighting over Ji Yuan to be their cultivation partner and not because they wanted him to be their champion.

It was something that the Smiling Divine Maiden had missed as she was trying to shake herself off from Ji Yuan. 

And it was also the main reason why the 4 divine consorts had decided to settle this privately as they did not want to lose their faces in front of their female followers that they were in fact, fighting over a man. 

One must know that in the Spirit Divine Realm, the maidens here outnumber the men 20:1 and a beautiful man like Ji Yuan is like gold to them. 

Divine Consort Sun Dingjun was actually gleeful that the two superior divine consorts Dongfang Xin and Tang Mani were at a loss tonight and that they would all be fighting over a man.

Since she had the weakest claim, she began to giggle softly. "You know. It is perfectly alright for a man to have a harem, especially the desirable ones. But all of you are divine consorts and naturally you are not going to share a man or this would be awkward to your faces in front of your followers. But I have a solution for all of you…"

The other 3 divine consorts had slowly turned in her direction to hear what she had to say.

Divine Consort Sun Dingjun giggled, "It doesn't need to be a hard decision. Why don't we let Ji Yuan chooses which one of us should he belongs to and we settle his ownership for good?"

All 3 of the divine consorts were quiet for a while; it was because they had no confidence that Ji Yuan would actually pick them…

And they did not even know whagt was Ji Yuan's relationship so far with the other divine consorts as well…

Divine Consort Sun Dingjun asked again, "Well?"

She waited for a while before she giggled again, "Silence means consent. I take this as a yes. So, why don't we summon Ji Yuan now and ask him? He should be awakened now. If not, I have a profound pill here that may be useful to wake him up."

Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er said coldly, "Don't feed him weird stuff. Let's check if he is awakened and we shall ask him which 1 of us, would he choose to be with."

Divine Consort Tang Manni and Dongfang Xin were both nodding their heads slowly; although this was not the best plan but this was a fair plan.
