Ji Yuan muttered. "The wines of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity are stronger than you think. Even the strongest cultivators in my fraternity can't take this dangerous wine that I am drinking."
This Dangerous Liaisons Wine was not only intoxicating but it could also cause delusions, even cause the cultivator to lose all their inhibitions and even lost their surrounding senses as well.
The reason why Ji Yuan had enjoyed this wine was because he was a heavy drinker in the past and had often drunk himself silly to forget over the past experiences quickly.
But the main reason why he was sipping this wine earlier was because he was secretly hatching a plot.
What if he had chosen the wrong passage after all?
Then he would lose all his face in front of these maidens!
And his qualifications to lead would be blown by the wind!
But what if he was a little drunk and his judgment had failed because of that?
At the very least, he could sweep his failure under the carpet and laughed it off away with a haha.
That was lame but this would work.
Because the stakes were high because there were five maidens with him now and not one.
He was a lone fighter in front of five lofty saintesses!
He had to conquer them all with his brilliant and awesomeness.
Yes, that was his plan.
Screw the trial!
The trial was not as important as impressing the maidens!
Although Ling Feiyue, Little Princess and Bai Qianfeng were all his women now but a true man conquers his women into total submission and tamed them with his awesomeness.
Who wants to be a hero when you can get all the beautiful maidens?
Corrections! He corrected himself. He did not want all the beautiful maidens. He only wants to conquer the maidens of his heart.
Just as Ji Yuan was rubbing his chin and thinking that Feng Minyue was really drunk because it was obviously that she had lost her usual rational self; she was muttering about her child hood, her mother consort and even how good she was in drinking now...
All of a sudden his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Feng Minyue who had suddenly flashed into his embrace as she looked up to him before she muttered softly. "So am I beautiful or not? Do you like me, Ji Yuan? If you do not like me then why do you keep looking at me? Or are you just a lecherous man? Ji Yuan, tell me truthfully…"
Ji Yuan was stunned by her questions: …
Even the other four maidens were also shocked and stunned by what they had heard: …
Ling Feiyue gasped softly and even Shui Xisi could not believe what she was hearing.
"Tell me Ji Yuan. Or are you not man enough to admit to your guts? Or have you no guts?" Feng Minyue muttered softly.
Ji Yuan: …
I would have no guts? I am not man enough?!
Ji Yuan's undying fighting spirit was now aroused!!!
Xiang Li who was enjoying the entire show in Ji Yuan's soul sea had suddenly ceased her playful giggles and she was gulping. "Oh no…big brother's spirits seems to be stirring with fire…calm down big brother…"
But Ji Yuan's spirit was taunted by the heavenly fire of his manly pride as his spirit and soul merged within him to protest strongly: I AM A TRUE MAN, A MAN AMONG THE MEN!!!
Just as Xiang Li was covering her face and expecting the worse to happen, Ji Yuan had suddenly caught hold of Feng Minyue's by her shoulders to say. "Maiden Feng, you are really drunk now. Why don't you get a little rest first? We can wait for you to recover."
Not only was Xiang Li stunned by Ji Yuan's rational words, the other four maidens were also stunned as well.
Although Ji Yuan's spirit and soul were protesting strongly but Ji Yuan's mind had triumphed over his irrational sense and he had calmed himself down at the last minute.
Although he had calmed himself down, he was slapping himself hard now. Or at least his Spirit and Soul were now slapping his Mind now;
Stupid Ji Yuan! Why didn't you admit that you like her as well?
You have lost the chance to take her now!
His Mind was protesting weakly. "She isn't an ordinary saintess and she is really drunk. Show her a little respect. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have taken out this dangerous wine…"
Stupid!
Idiot!
Ji Yuan had a straight face as he calmly said to the other four maidens. "You maidens don't mind taking her off me? Let her calm down for an hour or two. She didn't take a lot of sip so it will pass quickly."
Although he was saying so and looking at the four maidens, the corners of his eyes were looking down at Feng Minyue's bosoms and he was enjoying the sensual softness of her body.
A wondrous fragrance had also filled him because Feng Minyue was also known as Fragrance Princess and her scents were really wonderful to sniff. It was especially so for Ji Yuan who had an extremely sharp sense of smell.
As the four maidens took Feng Minyue to one side despite her protests, they all had a perplexed look.
It was because they could not believe that Ji Yuan did not use the opportunity to fondle Feng Minyue or to take advantage of her.
He was really a gentleman of the sword!
Suddenly their respect for Ji Yuan had rose to a new peak!
Even Xiang Li was looking at Ji Yuan with a new respect because she was stunned by Ji Yuan's willpower. "I so weak in willpower compared to my Big Brother…sobs, sobs…"
Feng Minyue was still muttering. "Do you like me Ji Yuan?"
Ji Yuan weakly looked in Feng Minyue's direction as he said silently; I do like you but not in front of them or I'll be screwed later. Keep your calm Ji Yuan…
He said coolly to his party. "I am going to this side for a while."
As he walked over and pretending not to look at Feng Minyue, he was invisibly slapping himself hard and even imagining kicking himself as he lamented silently; Ji Yuan, why are you so stupid to give up such a good opportunity to know whether she likes you or not. Such a good maiden…it is so wasted!
And he really made a swift kick but of course it was not directed at himself but at a wall.
He kicked it so hard that there was a loud kicking sound against the wall.
All of a sudden the wall moved noisily to reveal a hidden passage with a golden shimmering portal!
Not only was he stunned but the other four maidens were also stunned by the noisy commotion caused by the walls moving.
"What is happening?"
"Did the wall just move?"
"Did Ji Yuan find something?"
"Ji Yuan has found a portal…"
"He is so good in finding secret passages and portals…"
Bai Qianfeng gasped when she saw the golden shimmering portal. "Ji Yuan seems to have found the location of the golden keys."
Even Ji Yuan was stunned. It was because the secret passage's pattern was unlike the silver portals and was too inconspicuous.
Moreover it was too near to the start of the uber labyrinth and many of the cultivators would have missed it completely.
But he coolly turned to grin at the maidens. "I've thought that something seems amiss here and had kicked it to investigate. And it turns up that I'm right."
The image of Ji Yuan in the hearts of Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi were suddenly very big and overwhelming, causing them to look with great sentiments in his direction as they thought how wonderful it was to have him as their man…
Ji Yuan laughed. "Why are you all looking at me in this manner? Don't worship me. I will feel shy. Haha…"
Even Xiang Li was looking at Ji Yuan with great idolatry…
