The Romantic Cultivator-Chapter 584 The Demonic Outer World (3)

The duel between Ji Yuan and Zhi Jiugong naturally did not take place.

Hours later.

Zhi Jiugong and Ji Yuan had been assigned a common abode because everyone had thought that they were a couple.

Ji Yuan had actually mean consort-to-be instead of consort but he was too used to call everyone his consorts so there was a blunder.

Now that they were alone, Ji Yuan was now saying awkwardly. "Shall we tell them that we need 2 abodes instead of just one?"

Zhi Jiugong lowered her glances as she said softly in her usual heavenly voice, "No need. We are all cultivators here. Do you mind?"

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "Of course I don't mind at all."

Finally, he got to sleep with Zhi Jiugong and that was what he had always wanted so he had no issue about that.

Zhi Jiugong suddenly said as she looked at him, "Ji Yuan, did you notice that the cultivators are really strong in this place?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "They seem weak to me. Or else they won't need our help."

"No, Ji Yuan." Zhi Jiugong said with a pondering look. "If we are at the same cultivation realm, they are definitely stronger than us."

"Oh?" Ji Yuan looked at her with a perplexed look.

"I was here much earlier in this village than you and moreover I saw their fights with the demonic cultivators." Zhi Jiugong pointed out to him.

"What is stopping them from reaching the sixth and seventh cultivation realm is the cultivation resources and they have none to speak of. Even a profound treasure like a divine sword is almost non-existent for them."

"Can you imagine that? Although this place is rich in spiritual auras but they just cannot produce any profound treasures due to the lack of cultivation resources. Instead, they have spent all their high grade spirit stones to maintain the elusiveness of their profound defense arrays."

"And they also have much better profound pills than us."

Ji Yuan asked curiously, "That means that erm… the enemy demonic cultivators are all stronger than us?"

Zhi Jiugong nodded, "Even a demonic sixth realm cultivator may be able to kill us. If they are also the great saint cultivation level then they are 100% stronger than us."

Ji Yuan gasped softly, "This is such a brutal truth…"

Zhi Jiugong nodded slowly, "And that is why this trial is actually the most brutal trial. We can't be holding onto our golden talisman at all times. What if the enemy has the profound strength to massacre us? Even if I have 5 golden talismans, it is also useless."

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "Actually I have only 2 golden talismans…"

Zhi Jiugong sighed softly, "That isn't the point. What if we are beaten until we are so weak and we don't even have the profound strength to burn our golden talisman to escape?"

Ji Yuan answered most awkwardly, "At least the Old Trial Spirit has promised us that he will retrieve our bodies for us. Haha…"

Zhi Jiugong: …

Zhi Jiugong: …

Zhi Jiugong: …

"Ji Yuan, do you dislike me?" Zhi Jiugong had suddenly asked him and she was looking nervously at him.

Ji Yuan was startled by her question and he looked a little perplexed, "No. Of course no. Why should I be? I have flirted with you, right? Haha."

Zhi Jiugong smiled as Ji Yuan had said that but she was solemn almost immediately, "Or is it because you're with me because of my two other sisters? I can tell that that you like them more than me."

Ji Yuan laughed softly before he said solemnly, "Actually I think that you are noblest among the three and you really have a most noble demeanor. Also, you are very good in playing music and you have such a heavenly voice. I really like you. In fact, I like you on the first day that I've seen you."

Zhi Jiugong blinked her eyes with surprise, "Really? You like me on the very first day that you have seen me?"

Ji Yuan chuckled softly, "Of course! And I have wanted to get close to you since day 1."

Xiang Li giggled to Anyang: Big Brother means the Doll Zhi Jiugong. That real one.

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes in his soul sea: Shut up Xiang Li and stop corrupting Anyang. We really need to talk one day and stop sleeping when I'm talking to you on serious matters.

Zhi Jiugong lowered her golden eyes, "Is that so? That is good…" 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

Ji Yuan smiled, "Of course I am telling the truth. Also, I think that you are also the strongest cultivator among the three sisters."

Zhi Jiugong was startled, "You really think so?"

Ji Yuan nodded as he said without any doubt, "If you are not strong then you won't be known as the Ancient Matriarch of the Holy Oracle Sect. And you have formed the foundation of the Holy Oracle Sect into the top 3 celestial clans in the Endless Celestial Fraternity. This is really such an achievement."

"It is just that," Ji Yuan began to say curiously. "I don't understand why did you choose to abandon your lofty status as the Ancient Matriarch and did not return from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth?"

Zhi Jiugong heaved a soft sigh, "Because most of the great saints will not overcome their ascension to the Immortal Realm. I want to be an immortal. This is my end goal and my destiny. I want to be an immortal cultivator and have an unlimited lifespan."

Then she turned to look at Ji Yuan with a quiet voice, "Is this really wrong?"

Ji Yuan shook his head, "No, you are not wrong. But you have given it up because of me?"

Zhi Jiugong was quiet all of a sudden.

Ji Yuan saw her silence and he was quietly lamenting, "I like to be an immortal now too. In the past when I have nothing, I didn't really think about it. But I am just a sword cultivator. Am I able to pass the gruesome conditions to ascend as an immortal?"

"Aren't you a purple lightning cultivator? These types of cultivators are the most likely to overcome their ascension and to be an immortal." Zhi Jiugong returned an encouraging smile.

JI Yuan smiled weakly, "I am sure that you know by now that I have overcome my purple lightning tribulation with the help of Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue and Dark Mistress Ling Feiyue. They have all the profound treasures with them while I have only my five leaf clovers. Haha…"

Xiang Li protested immediately: That is not true big brother. Xiang Li has also contributed to your lightning tribulation!

Ji Yuan growled to her: No, you did not.

Xiang Li raised her sweet voice: No, I did! I make Xue Qianxue's spirit animus much, much stronger!

But Ji Yuan had already ignored Xiang Li and he was looking intently at Zhi Jiugong.

Zhi Jiugong was flustered when she had noticed that Ji Yuan was looking at her, "What are you looking at? There is something on me?"

Ji Yuan answered softly, "No. That is because you are too beautiful…"

Zhi Jiugong quickly said, "Ji Yuan, do you think remember that I have owe you one unfulfilled wish? Why don't you tell me what your unfulfilled wish is and I see if I am able to fulfill it for you?"

Ji Yuan was surprised that she had still remembered and he was quick to chuckle, "It is really easy for you to fulfill and within your limits."

Zhi Jiugong gave him a flushed look as she asked softly, "What is it?"

Ji Yuan had already move closer to her and he was bending upon her, "Um, I am actually thinking of kissing you. Is it alright?"

Zhi Jiugong reacted with a coyly look before she had suddenly grabbed her slender hands around Ji Yuan's head to kiss him mouth to mouth and head to head...

And then both of them stumbled onto the bed with a strong burning passion…
