Chapter 1034 Fighting over the Ownership of Ji Yuan
But before Ji Yuan could sneak off to check on the Hermes Palace, he was to go with Yue Wushuang to look for the Cardinal Harpy first as it was almost time for them to meet her.
The Cardinal Harpy had asked Yue Wushuang to bring Ji Yuan back on the 6th Watch of the time.
This time round, Yue Wushuang had brought Ji Yuan to walk along a different direction from where they had come from.
Ji Yuan did not mind especially when he was secretly glancing at the black panties that Yue Wushuang was wearing and her butts that flashed in front of him.
Anyang weakly said to Ji Yuan: My lord, what are you looking at?
Xiang Li giggled: Admiring the beautiful view?
Ji Yuan protested immediately: I am merely analyzing my possible enemy. Maybe she is a spy. You’ll never know.
Anyang: …
Ji Yuan ignored Anyang by asking Yue Wushuang, “Erm Holy Harpy Wushuang, where are we going? This isn’t the way where we come. You are not leading me to an ambush or what?”
Yue Wushuang displayed an unhappy frowned, “Why should I ambush you? We are going to the audience hall of the Cardinal Harpy. It is where she usually holds her audiences with us. The main hall of the Cathedral of the Songs is usually used for only ceremonies and important announcements.”
Ji Yuan nodded; he was not exactly concerned where he was going but he had asked to distract himself from Anyang’s comments.
Soon Ji Yuan and Yue Wushuang had reached a smaller hallway and indeed, the Cardinal Harpy was already waiting for them in this smaller hallway.
What surprised Ji Yuan further was that Xuan Qiaoqiao was also in the same audience hall.
Yue Wushuang panicky bowed her head to greet, “Your Holiness…”
And she quickly shrugged Ji Yuan to do the same as well.
Ji Yuan quickly followed her example and bowed his head to greet the Cardinal Priestess, “Your Holiness.”
The Cardinal Harpy was smiling wryly to Ji Yuan and Yue Wushuang, “You are all finally here…”
“You are finally here!” The Cardinal Priestess Xuan Qiaoqiao stared coldly at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan was quite startled when Xuan Qiaoqiao was suddenly staring coldly at him.
Ji Yuan suddenly had a look of guilt on his face as he thought: Did I do something wrong?
Xuan Qiaoqiao said with great displeasure to Ji Yuan, “I have put you as a slave to the Cardinal Confidant but instead you have become a slave of the Cardinal Harpy. Come quickly with me and let the Cardinal Confidant determines your slave duties…” 𝗇𝗈𝔳𝞮𝓁𝑵𝖊xt.𝑐𝒐𝑀
Ji Yuan thought miserably as he heard her talking: Qiaoqiao, do you know that your Cardinal Confidant wants me to be a male harlot to the abyssals? The reason why I join the Cardinal Harpy is to escape from my miserable fate. Why are you sending me back to the Cardinal Confidant?
“He can’t,” The Cardinal Harpy interrupted with smiles. “Holy Harpy 4444 has already taken the vow of my Cathedral of the Songs as a Holy Harpy. Therefore he is part of my inner circle now. Therefore he can’t go with you now. Also, he isn’t a slave but a noble of my Cardinal now.”
The Cardinal Priestess turned to look with displeasure at the regal and smiling Cardinal Harpy, “He is my personal slave and I’ve brought him to this place. Regardless of his status, he must come with me to my Cardinal Cathedral.”
The Cardinal Harpy smiled, “I seem to remember that your Cardinal Cathedral is forbidden to the men, right? And 4444 isn’t a eunuch. But even if he is a eunuch, he is still a man so he can’t enter your Cardinal Cathedral.”
The Cardinal Priestess: …
Ji Yuan was beginning to sense that he seemed to have made the wrong decision.
At the same time he was thinking: This Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen seems such a nice maiden. Is there a misunderstanding or something?
The Cardinal Priestess huffed angrily when she had heard the Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen bull-eying into her difficulties; indeed she could not bring Ji Yuan to the Cardinal Cathedral.
She turned to asked Ji Yuan coldly, “Ji Yuan, come with me.”
There was a slight startled look when the Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen had heard the Cardinal Priestess calling Ji Yuan by his name; this ‘Ji Yuan’ had told her and everyone in her Cathedral of the Songs that he had no name and he was called 4444.
Ji Yuan was put into a tight spot now as he did not know the political factions in the Nightfall Heights very well.
Also, if he were to follow the Cardinal Priestess back then everyone would surely know that he is on her side.
His primary objective was to find the spy that was passing information to the court of the Abyssal King Gong Magog.
After thinking for a while, Ji Yuan decided to tell a lie.
He pretended to be quite emotional as he said, “My new name is 4444 now. As for my old name, it is just given to you randomly. Do you really think that I want to come to the Nightfall Height with you? That is only because you have forced me to come with you! Now that I have found a good mistress in this place where I can call home, do you think that I would still want to go with you so that I can be your slave and allow you to whip me like a poor slave again?”
Xuan Qiaoqiao was quite startled to hear this from Ji Yuan; she had actually come to save Ji Yuan from the Cardinal Harpy and she had not thought that Ji Yuan would suddenly say this to her. She thought that he may feel quite delighted to see her again or to cling upon her deliverance for him.
But Xuan Qiaoqiao was also very smart and she was thinking: It isn’t that bad that Ji Yuan is now the Holy Harpy. This new identity may be easy for him to check the other cardinals for me…
When Ji Yuan had changed tact and told a different story, she was quick to follow up with his story by pretending to be upset and she was even saying coldly to him. “How dare you disrespect me! Do you know that I am the Cardinal Priestess? Do you think that by hiding in this place, I cannot touch you? Once my slave, always my slave! I don’t believe that you can stay hole in this place forever!”
Ji Yuan also realized that Xuan Qiaoqiao was pretending to play along with him and he pretended to cowered in fear behind Yue Wushuang.
When Yue Wushuang saw Ji Yuan’s cowardice behavior, there was disdain from her eyes as she glanced at him.
The Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen however looked pleased that Ji Yuan was not going to go back with the Cardinal Priestess and she was smiling wryly, “It seems that 4444 has made it clear that he won’t be going back to you. So please leave my Cathedral of the Songs.”
Xuan Qiaoqiao hummed coldly before she pretended to storm off angrily as she left behind some harsh words, “I shall be back!”
When she had left, the Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen heaved a soft sigh of relief before she smiled at Ji Yuan. “It seems that your relationship with your former mistress isn’t that fantastic.”
Ji Yuan pretended to be still cowering behind Yue Wushuang and he was pretending to sigh fearfully, “I rather that I do not meet her in the first place. You have no idea how miserable I was when I was in her hands.”
Yue Wushuang curiously looked at him, “Such as?”
Ji Yuan was startled at Yue Wushuang was suddenly asking him for an example and this was something that he had not thought of yet.
So he randomly cooked up a last minute story based on his experiences, “She immobilized me nakedly on the bed and touched me.”
When he had said that, both Yue Wushuang and the Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen were both gasping with shock…
Anyang was muttering weakly: My lord. Did you just tarnish the good reputation of Maiden Xuan Qiaoqiao…
