The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 634 Prelude To The Upper Area Trial (3)

Ji Yuan and everyone naturally opted to continue; it was because none of them were quitters or else they would not be appearing in the upper section of the final trial.

Moreover, the possible enticing rewards of a S plus Trial was too tempting for anyone to actually resist.

So they continued into the Valley of the Darkness.

They continued for a while before they were startled to see a group of cultivators in front of them; they seemed to be waiting for their group of 8s but they had only 7.

Ji Yuan was astonished and startled for he had recognized all 7 of them.

They were actually Mo Bei, Qin Shuang and Xiao Muhan; when they saw that it was Ji Yuan and his group, they were grasping, "It is Ji Yuan…"

Xiao Muhan was looking very pale but he managed to mutter, "It is that rascal Ji Yuan…"

Mo Bei was roaring with laughter, "Haha junior Ji Yuan is here."

The other group was also startled and they were Lu Qingyun, Fan Yuqing, Leng Qiuyue and Shui Xisi.

Shui Xisi had immediately ran to Ji Yuan with a soft chuckle, "Why, this isn't Ji Yuan? Why aren't you dead yet?"

Ji Yuan was actually overjoyed to see Shui Xisi again and he was laughing jovially, "If you are not dead, why should I be dead?"

The Lovely Empress looked a little annoyed when she saw that Shui Xisi was greeting Ji Yuan in such an intimate manner so she said unhappily, "Who is she? Ji Yuan, you can ignore her."

Shui Xisi looked annoyed as well, "Who is this maiden? What is your name? How dare you be disrespectful to a great saintess?"

The Lovely Empress giggled softly, "Weird. I am a great saintess too. So why should I be respectful to you?"

The Smiling Divine Maiden hummed behind the Lovely Empress as she stepped forward, "You dare to be disrespectful to my sister?"

Shui Xisi had caught sight of the Lovely Empress, the Smiling Divine Maiden, Zhi Jiugong and Yang Mi which she did not recognize and turned to Ji Yuan to ask, "Ji Yuan, who are they?"

Ji Yuan said awkwardly, "You are all friends so there is no need to quarrel…"

Bai Qianfeng had also stepped forward and said, "Sisi is a close friend of ours."

Even Ling Feiyue had stepped forward to defend Shui Xisi, "We are all friends here…"

"Harem, you mean?" Shui Xisi expressed with disbelief as she looked at Ji Yuan. "What has exactly happened while I was gone for a while?"

Ji Yuan laughed awkwardly, "It is a long story. Haha…"

"Brother Ji Yuan." Lu Qingyun had also stepped forward to greet him hastily, "It has been some time since we have last met."

Ji Yuan was only too glad to be find something to distract himself, "Brother Lu Qingyun! I see that you have finally found Maiden Leng Qingyue."

Leng Qiuyue looked a little awkward as she shyly said, "Thanks to you, I've finally found Brother Qingyun…"

JI Yuan was immediately gesturing with a loud chuckle, "It is my pleasure to help you. Haha…"

He had actually met Leng Qiuyue on the lower level of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. At that time, she had mentioned that she was looking for Lu Qingyun.

Lu Qingyun was also looking a little awkward as he bowed with his hands respectfully, "This will be forever in my debt for you, Brother Ji Yuan."

Ji Yuan laughed, "Not at all and don't bother about this…"

Shui Xisi who was now surrounded by her old friends, Ling Feiyue, Feng Minyue, Bai Qianfeng, Little Princess and Yu Jingjing were laughing jovially. "This is probably the only good deed that he has ever done in his life."

Ji Yuan: …

​ Behind Shui Xisi, Fan Yuqing was smiling nonchalantly and even playfully; after all, no one will actually knows what the Devil Goddess is thinking about.

Shui Xisi looked a little flushed as she turned to say to Fan Yuqing, "Sister Saintess Yuqing, may I join Ji Yuan's group?"

Fan Yuqing raised her lovely eyebrows, "Then we won't have enough cultivators in our team. Do we have anyone to join us then?"

Shui Xisi laughed as she looked at the other 30 odds cultivators that had gathered, "There are so many cultivators in this place. Hehe."

As they conversed, Yun Chi was actually looking into their direction.

It was because she knew that Shui Xisi had a most extraordinary background but she was more cautious of Fan Yuqing; it was because Fan Yuqing had given her a most uneasy feeling. This was not the first time that they had met in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth but the second time.

Fan Yuqing had given her a nonchalant feel but Yun Chi knew that Fan Yuqing was highly intelligent and she was also studying her as well.

Because Shui Xisi and Fan Yuqing seemed to be so close, she could garner that she too, had an immortal background.

As for Lu Qingyun, he was the most dangerous and she had caught Lu Qingyun's look on her; it was not because he had admired her great beauty behind her upper mask but he was appraising her discreetly as well.

It seemed to her that the Celestial Fraternity still have many extreme characters and many of them are in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth for their trials.

It was no wonder why the Great Demon God had waited for this opportunity to seal off the passage from the Immortal Realm to the Celestial Realm.

The very last time that she had met them, Shui Xisi had suggested to them that they paraded the Death God naked after they had killed him. However for her to suggest that, this would mean that both Lu Qingyun and Fan Yuqing were extremely formidable.

Sometimes, the cultivators did not need to appraise their enemies through their profound animus. By instinct, they would already know that the other cultivator was dangerous.

Right now, Yun Chi, Lu Qingyun and Fan Yuqing were at this stage of appraising each other.

Yun Chi was extremely curious to know Fan Yuqing's background as she thought: Is she a daughter of the Great Goddess Alice as well?

Her thoughts were interrupted when Feng Minyue and Fan Yuqing were embracing each other warmly and they were smiling jovially.

Fan Yuqing giggled softly as she stole a look at Ji Yuan, "My Sister Saintess Minyue, it seems to me that you have finally fallen in love? If you continue to be single then others might think that we have a most unusual relationship."

Feng Minyue smiled gently, "Sister Saintess Yuqing really knows how to tease me. Yes…"

She began to lower her head shyly and as she did so, she had stolen a glance at Ji Yuan. "He is my lord consort now."

Fan Yuqing gasped softly with a little disbelief, "This is a little too fast. He is already my brother-in-law and now he is twice over…

Then she saw the look that was on Shui Xisi's countenance, "Maybe thrice over. Heehee…"

Shui Xisi protested immediately with a soft chuckle, "Never. He is just a playboy rascal!"

Ling Feiyue, Feng Minyue, Bai Qianfeng, Little Princess and Yu Jingjing were too awkward to say anything; it was because the loud lovemaking sessions between Shui Xisi and Ji Yuan were so loud that everyone knows about their relationship and they had always tried to pretend that they were friends.

Ji Yuan was laughing jovially as he looked playfully at Shui Xisi's slim and enticing figure; he was just too happy to see Sisi again.

He chuckled loudly, "Before we enter the trial, I think we should start off with a tale of our journey here so far."

Shui Xisi laughed softly as she looked at the Lovely Empress, Yang Mi, Zhi Jiugong and the Smiling Divine Maiden, "Tell me how you've met these maidens..."

Ji Yuan roared with laughter, "Look at me, I've forgotten to introduce all of you here."

Xiao Muhan interrupted weakly, "Don't forget about your good friend here..."
