Chapter 1176 An Old Friend Appears
Just as Ji Yuan was protesting loudly to his maidens that he was innocent of their accusations, a 4th realm cultivator had suddenly approached them with an urgent message for Xue Qianxue and Ji Yuan.
He had been looking everywhere for them.
“Sacred Maiden Xue, Sword Saint Ji Yuan. There is a freed prisoner that insists on seeing you and he says that he knows you.”
Ji Yuan took the opportunity to say, “Oh really? Take me to him. Maybe I really know him. Hahaha…”
“Wait a minute first,” Xue Qianxue interrupted Ji Yuan.
Then she turned to ask the messenger, “What is his name?”
The messenger answered, “He says that he is Guo Taiming and he says that he is erm… the best friend of the Sword Saint Ji Yuan.”
Shangguan Yan and Fairy Ye Chengxi were both gasping as they do know this Guo Taiming as they were all from the Five Heavens Peaks.
Ji Yuan laughed jovially, “I do know him. Come, let me go and meet him straightaway!”
“Wait a minute first,” Xue Qianxue winked at him before she turned to say to the messenger. “Bring this Guo Taiming here.”
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He had thought that Guo Taiming’s arrival would save him for the incessant questionings and he was using this opportunity to make his quick exit.
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, “Trust me, you don’t want to meet this best friend of mine. So, it is better that I met him alone.”
Fairy Ye Chengxi nodded awkwardly, “That’s true.”
Even Shangguan Yan was nodding too.
However, Xue Qianxue ignored the two of them and she had surrounded Ji Yuan along with Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Ling Feiyue and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu.
“Ji Yuan, are you having an affair with that Immortal Fairy Lucia?”
“Why are you touching her bosoms?”
“You like her?”
“Why is she alone with you in that hallway?”
“Aren’t you addressing the rest of the 299 maidens but you have singled only her?”
“Is she prettier or we are prettier?”
Ji Yuan asked Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress instead, “The 2 of you are not my consorts, right? Why are you asking me questions as well?”
Shui Xisi giggled softly, “I am not your consort but I am checking on you on behalf of my Sister Feifei as well as my other good sisters here.”
The Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu was also saying shamelessly, “I am checking on you for my Protégé Mistress Yun Chi and for my good sisters as well. I am afraid that you may hurt my Sister Zhi Jiugong and Sister Chu Lixue too.”
Ji Yuan: …
He turned to say to the 7 maidens, “Seriously, the 7 of you thinks too much. I am a Gentleman of the Sword. Do you even think that I am such a man as to have an affair with my so called prisoners of war?”
“You banged the abyssal maidens,” Shui Xisi pointed out with a soft chuckle.
Ji Yuan: …
All of a sudden, a fat man was waving and shouting toward them, “Ji Yuan! It is me! Your best friend Guo Taiming!”
It was indeed Guo Taiming and he was being accompanied by the same messenger.
Guo Taiming was delighted when he saw that there were 7 extremely beautiful maidens that were in front of him and he had even recognized 2 of them.
“It is Fairy Ye Chengxi and Maiden Shangguan Yan! Hahaha, I miss seeing the two of you. I am back from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth now and have become far stronger than before!”
“And you were captured by the Evil Cultivation Palace?” Ji Yuan could not resist adding for Guo Taiming.
Guo Taiming sighed heavily, “You may not know this but I had fought against the evil cultivators for 3 days and 3 nights…”
“The battle ends after 6 hours,” Ji Yuan pointed out. “You mean that you battled with the evil cultivators in your prisoner’s cell?”
Guo Taiming: …
He muttered weakly, “That isn’t the point. The point is that I refused to yield to them and that is why I am their prisoner! Do you know that they even try to torture me with the beautiful maidens of the Evil Cultivation Palace but they did not succeed?”
“The maidens at the Evil Cultivation Palace have high criteria for their dual cultivation targets. They won’t choose you for sure.” Little Princess casually said.
Guo Taiming: …
Indeed.
The maidens of the Evil Cultivation Palace did not even pick him as their dual cultivation targets and he was left alone in his cell, leaving him to lament why these beautiful celestial maidens did not choose him.
He wanted to be a hero that was ‘tortured’ by the Evil Cultivation Palace but he was ignored instead.
Guo Taiming looked at the mesmerizing and enchanting maiden in front of him, “This beautiful maiden here, what is your name and cultivation realm?”
Ji Yuan interrupted, “She is a peak great saintess and she is Little Princess. And she is also my consort.”
“What?!” Guo Taiming was shocked beyond words, “She is… Little Princess?! Isn’t she from the Evil Cultivation Palace too?”
Ji Yuan patted him, “Brother, your news are out-of-date but I don’t blame you since not many people know about this. Indeed, she is Little Princess but she has already left the Evil Cultivation Palace and she is fighting on our side.”
Then he pointed at the rest of his maidens to introduce them to the disinterested maidens, “They are the Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue, Dark Mistress Ling Feiyue, Matriarch Palace Mistress Shui Xisi of the Water Melody Palace and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu.
Guo Taiming gulped with his dry throat, “The 3 great beauties of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity are all here. But they are all equally so beautiful. Even the Matriarch Palace Mistress is also here… Brother Ji Yuan, how do you know them? Care to introduce them to me?”
As he said so, he was looking at the Lovely Empress with interest.
Ji Yuan frowned, “They are all great saintesses so you can forget about it. As for this Matriarch Palace Mistress and the Lovely Empress here, approach them at your own risk. They don’t like men at all.”
Shui Xisi, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu: …
Then Ji Yuan had dragged Guo Taiming away as he warned him sternly, “If you dare to have any funny ideas on them, I shall slaughter you immediately. Is that understood?”
“Why, Brother Ji Yuan?”
“Because they are all my maidens.”
“But I thought you say that the two of them are not interested in any men? Don’t tell me that you have disguised as a maiden with that beautiful face of yours?”
Ji Yuan frowned, “Why do I have to meet you in this place? I feel like killing you. Do you know that we are having a great battle in this place very soon?”
“Don’t worry, Brother Ji Yuan. I still remember that you have jumped realms to fight all the cultivators at the Five Heavens Peak when you are merely a second realm cultivator.”
Ji Yuan growled angrily, “Don’t mention that time! I feel like killing you whenever you have mentioned that time.”
At that time, Ji Yuan had challenged numerous 2nd to 4th realm cultivators in the Five Heavens Peak’s martial tournament.
He was unable to speak at that time because Guo Taiming had mixed a weird drink for him that caused him to lose his voice.
And Guo Taiming had spoken in his instead as he said to all the cultivators presented, “My Brother Ji Yuan says that you are all no match for him. One to one is too slow. Why don’t all of you come and fight him together?”
If it was not for the godly reward of 100 spirit stones, Ji Yuan would have jumped off the fighting stage immediately.
He got screwed up badly by Guo Taiming very badly at that time and he had earned numerous hatreds for defeating the many young masters and core protégés of the various cultivation sects in the Five Heavens Peak.
Ji Yuan muttered weakly to Guo Taiming, “I don’t know why you always got such a long life even when you got captured by your enemies. Even the Evil Cultivation Palace ignores you when you are captured. All your friends except for me, are all dead now.”
Guo Taiming laughed jovially, “That how I have become the sect leader of my cultivation sect. Because all the potential successors had all met with an accident.”
Then he asked, “Where are we going now, Brother Ji Yuan?”
Ji Yuan grinned, “I am going to kick you down the mountains of course.”
Guo Taiming: …
