The Romantic Cultivator

When the Smiling Divine Maiden saw his shocked look, she tried to comfort him by smiling. “It is really alright. Sometimes your expectations will be much higher than the result. Take for example, after what I did for Divine Consort Dongfang Xin, I’ve only 30 Trust Points with her. I was actually expecting a much higher result. It is a long and difficult path to 100 Trust Points. I guess that the only way to gain more trust points is to be their champions in the Spiritas Tower.”

And she had reached out tenderly to comfort Ji Yuan.

“If you do not want to share with me. It is perfectly alright.”

Ji Yuan looked extremely awkwardly when he looked at his senior sister and consort-to-be, “It is not that I do not want to share. I have 100 Trust Points with all 5 of them…”

When the Smiling Divine Maiden had heard him, she almost fainted on the spot. 

She gasped aloud, “100 Trust Points? With all 5 of them?! Did you screw all of them?”

Ji Yuan turned to look blankly at her, “That’s the big problem. I didn’t bang anyone of them yet.”

The Smiling Divine Maiden could not believe what she was hearing, “This is so unfair. You are probably the only male celestial that scores the highest.”

Ji Yuan frowned immediately, “There are other male celestials that you know? Or you mean Xi Huangdi?”

The Smiling Divine Maiden giggled divinely, “Stop thinking about that Great Saint Xi Huangdi. He is dead now.”

Ji Yuan was startled, “He is dead now?! What happens?”

The Smiling Divine Maiden smiled, “He just got what he had deserved and Divine Consort Dongfang Xin shared with me half of his loot in his spatial space.”

Ji Yuan was greatly relieved, “That is good. At least I feel so safe now…”

“I am actually referring to the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong. He is not only handsome but he is also perfect in all ways. He is truly a knowledgeable cultivator and we get along quite well while I am with the Divine Consort Dongfang Xin.” The Smiling Divine Maiden smiled divinely.

She added, “I’ve never met a cultivator that can be a full talent in so many profound cultivation arts.”

Ji Yuan almost fainted on the spot as he stammered, “What?! I thought he is dead? He isn’t a good man. Don’t talk to him!”

What the heck was all his male rivals popping out from?! 

Divine Consort Tang Manni had merely taught him a lesson and had thrown him out to the streets instead of really feeding him to the fishes. 

Afterward, the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong had found his way to the camp of the Divine Consort Dongfang Xin to be her champion. 

Xiao Muhan and Ji Yuan had actually met Jiang Guanzhong on their very first day in this city-state and he was eating at Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei’s tavern. 

The way Ji Yuan looked at him, he was just a trouble maker. 

Ji Yuan said solemnly, “Senior sister, I hope that you don’t ever talk to him again!”

No one shall green him! 

The Smiling Divine Maiden smiled divinely, “We are in the same camp. How is it possible for me not to talk with him? Moreover, I have many things to learn from him…”

Ji Yuan had suddenly interrupted her coldly and he was raising his voice, “You are my future consort. He isn’t a good man and he is full of ulterior motives. He is only a perfect hero because he is only trying to impress the maidens. This type of perfect hero in cultivation stories always have maidens falling in love left and right because of his godly cultivation talents! So, stay away from him!”

The Smiling Divine Maiden looked a little startled as she started to nod lightly; she had never seen Ji Yuan shouting at her like this. Not even when she was with Xi Huangdi whom he had disliked. 

She had wanted to argue with him that cultivation stories were different from reality but she held herself in-check and said with a faint smile, “Alright then.”

In this situation, she could still be smiling and that was why she was called the Smiling Divine Maiden.

Ji Yuan was quite startled that his senior sister could agree so readily and he was starting to regret shouting at his senior sister and losing himself. 

In terms of cultivation, his senior sister is actually his cultivation superior and she is also a peaked great saintess. 

Therefore, in terms of cultivation seniority or protégé ranking, he actually has no right to rebuke his senior sister like this.

The Smiling Divine Maiden began to sigh softly, “Actually I do have a 6th rank divine pill that Divine Consort Dongfang Xin has given me. Originally, I have the intention to ask the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong to check for me but now I can’t. I have actually gone to the trouble of finding a high level spirit alchemist to check this divine pill for me but as this divine pill is made in the Celestial Realm, it is difficult for the high level spirit alchemist here to tell me exactly what it is. As you know, 6th rank divine pill is the highest ranking profound pill in our Celestial Realm.”

Ji Yuan immediately said with a straight line, “Fear not, senior sister. I happen to be an expert in this.”

The Smiling Divine Maiden: …

“You’re kidding with your senior sister, am I right?”

Even Xiang Li was asking Ji Yuan with a look of disbelief.

But Ji Yuan had to prove that he was better than the Perfect Hero Jiang Guanzhong so he said with all seriousness, “This is my secret talent.”

Xiang Li asked Ji Yuan: Really, big brother?

Ji Yuan said to Xiang Li: Not me. You! Luckily you are still around. Aren’t you a Trial Spirit that have seen countless numbers of profound pills? 

Xiang Li began to giggle: Oh!!! Of course I am an expert! Count on me, Big Brother!

She was actually thinking to herself: Even if I am not an expert, I mustn’t let Big Brother knows about this first. 

The Smiling Divine Maiden was pleasantly surprised as she took out a divine profound pill, “This is the divine pill that Divine Consort Dongfang Xin has given me. She says this is from Xi Huangdi and she has no idea what it is.”

Ji Yuan began to take this profound pill curiously to play around his fingers but secretly he was asking Xiang Li in his soul sea: Well Xiang Li, what is this?

Xiang Li began to mutter: Well… this is… erm… 

6th profound pills are actually beyond Xiang Li to know, especially when she had never seen this before and her trial in the past was actually a medium level trial. 

The only way she could obtain high level cultivation slips, high level profound pills and divine swords in the past were for the unfortunate cultivators to die and she would store their cultivation items as a trial reward.

Xiang Li said to Ji Yuan with an awkward look: Big Brother, you should try to taste it first so that I can know what it is.

Ji Yuan frowned: Taste it?! You can’t tell?

Xiang Li giggled weakly: Big Brother, this is a 6th rank divine pill. Of course, you have to taste it first or else it won’t be accurate what kind of profound pill it is.

Ji Yuan began to smile: Alas! This makes sense…

So, he tasted it by putting it into his mouth and it was quite sweet.

The Smiling Divine Maiden was shocked, “Ji Yuan, what are you doing with my divine pill?!”

Ji Yuan laughed, “Relax senior sister. I am not trying to swallow your divine pill. I am just trying to taste it…”

𝒏𝑜𝗏𝓮𝔩𝓃𝗲xt.𝒞𝒪𝗆

The Smiling Divine Maiden panicky tried to take away her divine pill from Ji Yuan’s mouth, “I know that you are a fake. Return it to me immediately! This is my cultivation fortune, not yours!”

She had thought that Ji Yuan was just trying to steal her cultivation divine pill or playing a joke on her. 

“Wait!” Ji Yuan panicky shouted because he was suddenly choking. “Wait! Wait!”

“Return it to me!”

All of a sudden Ji Yuan was no longer shouting clumsily as he entangled with the Smiling Divine Maiden and he had a sheepish look. “Senior sister, I told you to wait but now it is too late. I’ve already swallowed this divine pill and I feel kinda funny.”

The Smiling Divine Maiden was speechless, “You what?!” 

Ji Yuan answered weakly and he really looked sheepish, “I did tell you to wait, right? But you keep rushing me that I have accidentally swallowed it.”

The Smiling Divine Maiden: …

The Smiling Divine Maiden: …

The Smiling Divine Maiden: …

Xiang Li had immediately fled deep into Ji Yuan’s inner spiritual sea after she had realized the big blunder that she had caused to her Big Brother; it was because she saw the changes that were now happening in her Big Brother’s cultivation core…
