The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1035 A deadly toast to Ji Yuan

The Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen smiled to Ji Yuan, “I hope that you are not disturbed by all these. Sometimes Her Holiness the Holy Priestess can be quite unreasonable. As her elder, I have the duty to guide her.”

Ji Yuan nodded rather weakly as he was now drawing a line with Xuan Qiaoqiao in the eyes of the others. But it would also mean that it would be harder for them to cross each other path too.

But then, he had the linking heart pendant that she had given him and he could use this to communicate to her secretly.

The regal Cardinal Harpy turned to smile at Yue Wushuang, “Holy Harpy Wushuang, thank you for your time to guide Holy Harpy 4444. You shall be given 1000 contribution points for your earnest effort. You are dismissed now.”

Yue Wushuang was delighted when she had heard that she had earned 1000 contribution points and she was smiling as she walked away.

Ji Yuan could see her delightful smiles and he recalled Yue Wushuang telling him that his cardinal contribution points would be 15 every month since he was only a second realm cultivator. He would receive 30 cardinal contribution points every month if he advances to the third cultivation realm.

The earned contribution point would actually double for every cultivation point until the fourth cultivation realm and triple from the fifth cultivation realm onward.

Therefore, Yue Wushuang’s monthly cardinal contribution points were only 180.

This 1000 contribution points was 6 months of her monthly stipend so it was no wonder why she looked so delightful.

However for Ji Yuan, he did not intend to even stay for a month in this place so the cardinal contribution points were pointless to him.

The regal Cardinal Harpy turned back to smile at Ji Yuan, “As for you, you may stay here for a while. I have something to talk with you.”

“Oh?”

Ji Yuan asked curiously as he looked at the Cardinal Harpy.

“But first, let me toast to you.” The regal Cardinal Harpy smiled as she walked over a table to fetch two goblets of red wine and passed one to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was grinning now as he was never one who would pass a good wine. One of these days, he may even be killed when he was drunk.

The regal Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen was also smiling when she saw the grins that were on Ji Yuan, “I ought to toast you for being a Holy Harpy today. Although I can’t present you with a handsome reward yet but a humble toast should do for the time being.”

Ji Yuan laughed as he sipped from the goblet, “I don’t mind if you are able to toast me more of these wines…”

The red wine was indeed very strong but Ji Yuan liked his wines strong.

Somehow this red wine had a weirdly familiar feeling to Ji Yuan and it was as though he had sampled it before but at this moment, he could not place a finger.

The regal and beautiful Cardinal Harpy smiled gently to him, “I am afraid that this red wine may be a little too strong for you to take a second filling.”

While she was saying to Ji Yuan, she was also sipping from the goblet and by the time she had finished speaking, she had finished the red wine.

Ji Yuan had also finished the red wine and he looked a little disappointed that there was no more; it was really a delicious good wine and he was further disappointed that he would get no more of this wine.

He had actually wanted to protest that this red wine was not strong for him at all and he could drink 10 goblets of this red wine without even battling an eye.

But before he could state his protest, the beautiful and regal Li Yifen had gently said to him. “Come follow me elsewhere to talk.”

Ji Yuan: ???

Aren’t we already in the audience hall? We can’t talk in this place?

He was actually thinking of sneaking away to go to the Hermes Palace and he was wondering if the Cardinal Harpy may be introducing the rest of the Holy Harpies or the place to him.

This would cost him his plan for the night.

But he did not have the chance to voice out his thoughts as the Cardinal Harpy had already walked to a hallway so what he could do now was just to follow her.

After walking into many hallways and encountering dozens of black robed maidens that were either walking along the hallway or were sentries, Ji Yuan walked to a hallway that had 8 black robed maidens standing serenely in front of a pillar each.

But what startled him was that these 8 black robed maidens were almost all at the fifth cultivation realm and there was even a seventh cultivation realm among them.

The Cardinal Harpy simply walked past them nonchalantly with Ji Yuan behind her.

These 8 maidens were standing like stones and merely lowered their heads and did not greet her.

Ji Yuan was curious and he asked after they had walked past them, “These maidens look a little different from the earlier maidens that we saw. They didn’t greet Your Cardinal at all.” 𝑛𝑶𝑣𝚎𝑙𝗇𝐞xt.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The regal Li Yifen chuckled softly, “They are all my personal escorts and we see each other multiple times every day. Therefore they don’t have to greet me when they see me. Don’t you agree that it will be quite a hassle if they greet me 100 times a day?”

Ji Yuan nodded weakly, “True, true…”

Soon they had come to a room and Ji Yuan saw that there were powerful array defenses in this place.

This room was also quite splendid and cozy as well.

Ji Yuan blinked his eyes to ask, “This place is?”

Li Yifen smiled wryly, “This place is my personal room, of course.”

Ji Yuan was startled and was blinking his eyes. “Your Cardinal’s personal room? Why are we here in this place?”

Li Yifen smiled as she gently looked at Ji Yuan, “Are you feeling hot now?”

Ji Yuan: ???

Come to think of it, he was indeed feeling hot now but drinking alcohol always made people feeling hot.

Li Yifen continued to smile as she suddenly shook and dropped her outer skimpy robe.

This stunned Ji Yuan and it only made him more hot because he could see that the regal and beautiful Cardinal Harpy was wearing a beautiful robe within that looked like a lingerie.

She looked more beautiful when she was suddenly inhaling softly.

All of a sudden, she muttered softly. “Do you desire me?”

This was when Ji Yuan had suddenly realized why he had found the taste of the red wine that he had consumed to be so vaguely familiar.

The problem was not with the red wine.

It was actually the scent.

And this type of special scent belonged to the Masculine Profound Pills that Ji Yuan had consumed previously and it took him quite a long time to get rid of its effect from him.

And he was feeling hot and flustered now especially when a beautiful Li Yifen was now standing in front of him and asking him this question.

A hot Ji Yuan could not help muttering, “I do desire you…”
