Days later;
Ji Yuan was holding onto Bai Qianfeng's hand as he whispered in her ears, "Qianfeng, I love you. I really do."
Bai Qianfeng returned a loving look at him. "My lord…"
They had copulated for many days in a row due to their pent up desires.
"My lord, so how did you manage to overcome the trial to be the first one to pass?"
Ji Yuan: …
The question has returned…
He laughed, "I was actually suspicious about the trial in the first place. As you know, this is a fifth level trial therefore I was already suspicious that the trial seemed too easy."
"No, you didn't!" Both Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang echoed silently at the same time.
Bai Qianfeng nodded with a heavy sigh, "At first I've my suspicion as well but since I was the Trial Spirit and had all the information, I didn't think there will be a catch."
"The problem isn't with the trial itself but the mortal cultivators themselves. They are a bunch of born losers." Ji Yuan grinned.
"I've realized that too late." Bai Qianfeng said melancholy. "But I must really praise the sharp perception of my lord. It is a lucky thing that you've discovered it early or else you may have almost failed the trial like me. So how many survivors do you got?"
Ji Yuan grinned awkwardly as he lifted his three fingers.
"Three thousands? That is a lot. I've only thirty survivors." Bai Qianfeng was clearly very impressed.
"Haha." Ji Yuan was also quite impressed with himself, for making through his lies.
Fairy Anyang, Xiang Li: …
"I am a little anxious for the others now." Bai Qianfeng said. "Actually this trial is not easy at all…"
All of a sudden there was a brilliant flash of light that had appeared in the vicinity.
Both Ji Yuan and Bai Qianfeng were startled as they quickly turned to the direction of the light to have a better look.
A maiden began to materialize down below where they were watching and she was Shui Xisi.
Ji Yuan was overjoyed; Sisi had also overcome the trial!
He quickly flashed down the mountain as he yelled aloud. "Yo Sisi! You've also passed the trial too!"
In a short while, Ji Yuan was already hugging Shui Xisi. "Haha. Sisi, I'm missing you so much…"
"Don't…Qianfeng is here." She protested weakly.
"Haha. It isn't a secret that I will be taking you as my main consort." Ji Yuan grinned.
"Well, if you die in this place then I am surely not going to marry you for sure." She giggled. "And who says anything about marrying a rascal like you? Did you even ask me if I am agreeable or not? What are my betrothal gifts? If it is too cheap, I'm not going to marry you. Never say I didn't warn you first."
Ji Yuan: …
Her heart is already willing to be my consort yet she still has to act so cheekily…
But she soon smiled awkwardly, "Sorry for keeping you and the rest in waiting. I have encountered a little difficulty in this trial."
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Not at all. You're actually the third after Qianfeng and I."
Shui Xisi looked at Ji Yuan with a perplexed look, "You have passed this trial ahead of me?"
"Obviously I did and I am the top cultivator for the trial as well. The Trial Spirit says that I am the first to have overcome the trial." Ji Yuan laughed.
Shui Xisi: …
She muttered weakly, "You're smarter than I've thought."
Ji Yuan asked her, "So how did you manage to overcome the trial?"
Shui Xisi answered weakly, "After some difficulty, my good-for-nothing group managed to reach the summit."
She had actually threatened them with all kinds of threats with her whip to drive them ahead and even threatening to remove the safe zone. That was a lie; she can't remove the safe zone.
In the end only a handful had survived because they were all running nonstop.
But she quickly added weakly, "They felt inspired by me and they didn't want disappoint my guidance."
"Haha, so I see." Ji Yuan laughed but he was cursing; why is it that my group seems the most useless?!
Shui Xisi asked as she looked at Ji Yuan and Bai Qianfeng, "Do you think that we are the only three that have overcome this trial?"
Ji Yuan sighed bitterly, "I hope not!"
Bai Qianfeng nodded, "Let's wait for a few more days."
Ji Yuan sighed, "I have full faith in Feiyue and Little Princess. After all, they are all strong willed cultivators. But for Maiden Feng and Maiden Yu, alas, maybe we won't be able to see them for the time being."

Sure enough, after waiting for a few more days, there were two flashes of light.
Ji Yuan was excited immediately.
Once again, he sped down from the mountain slope and saw that it was Feng Minyue and Yu Jingjing.
Ji Yuan was truly startled, "Maiden Feng, Maiden Yu?"
Yu Jingjing smiled, "Sorry for coming a little late. You seem quite surprised to see us?"
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "It is within my expectations."
Feng Minyue saw that Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi were with Ji Yuan so she asked curiously, "Where are Feiyue and Little Princess?"
"They are still in the trial I guess." Ji Yuan said with a disappointed look.
Feng Minyue merely returned a light nod; she could tell that Ji Yuan was really anxious for the whereabouts of Ling Feiyue and Little Princess. Even though he did not say it loud but he was not in his usual self.
Bai Qianfeng and Shui Xisi could also see Ji Yuan's anxiety look and they could see how restless he had been for the past few days.
Ling Feiyue and Little Princess were very dear in Ji Yuan's heart. After all, they all had been through some very rough times together.
Yu Jingjing suddenly said, "Ji Yuan, I want to ask you something."
Ji Yuan: ???
"What is it?"
Yu Jingjing said quietly, "Are you serious about me?"
Ji Yuan was startled; why did she suddenly ask me about this question. Did she receive a setback in the trial?
There was a slight flush in Yu Jingjing's countenance, "That day when you touch me in my most personal place, they have all witnessed it. I like you too but are you serious about me?"
Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi and Ling Feiyue were all startled that Yu Jingjing was declaring her love for Ji Yuan in front of them.
Feng Minyue sighed to herself, "I like Ji Yuan too but I don't have the courage to tell him so…"
Yu Jingjing said with the most utmost care, "I've an immortal recipe that can restore your beard. I can help you. As long as we can be together…"
Ji Yuan patted her on her shoulder, interrupting her. "Jingjing, I like you too. And I hope that you can be my beloved as well. I want to let you know that I am not playing with your feeling and I really like you as well."
Yu Jingjing broke into a smile, "Really? Then…"
"As for the immortal recipe, I've no need of it because beards are ugly." Ji Yuan smiled.
But he was actually thinking; I won't fall into the same trick twice. After all Qianxue had already used the same trick on me. Haha.
Yu Jingjing smiled and her tears had turned bleary, "This is good, this is good…"
As she muttered her delights, she had also taken out a luminous pearl. "This is the Divine Translucent Pearl and is my reward for the trial earlier. This profound treasure can allow me to go to the celestial fraternity of my choice after the trial. All I need is a drop of your blood on it."
Ji Yuan was actually delighted and he wasted no time to cut his finger, dripping his golden blood on it. "Jingjing, I will surely take you as my consort and I will treat you well."
Yu Jingjing smiled with blissfulness. "As long as I am with you, my heart is glad."
Ji Yuan smiled with delight as well; he had remembered that he had actually molested Yu Jingjing while under the influence of the masculine pills and until today, he had no idea how to explain to her.
Although his bad deeds were stopped just in time by his other consorts but he had felt that he had ruined the chastity of Maiden Yu.
Hence out of guilt, he had been trying to avoid her.
It was especially so when a series of events later had caused his good reputation to plummet in front of her and Feng Minyue, especially when he was caught in the act with Sisi in the great valley…
Bai Qianfeng immediately pulled Yu Jingjing to her, "From now onward, we will be a family."
She had purposely said it loud in front of Shui Xisi and Feng Minyue because she knew that they liked Ji Yuan but did not dare to admit it openly.
"Thank you, Sister Qianfeng." Yu Jingjing was delighted. "I will love to know all of you better."
She took a forlorn look at Ji Yuan, "By going with you, I will be losing everything but I won't regret it because you are the man of my heart."
Ji Yuan smiled and said solemnly to her, "I may be poor but I will protect you."
Xiang Li was also delighted as she did not expect that there would be such a sudden change of events. "So Big Brother, when are you going to bang her?"
"Shut up Xiang Li. You're spoiling a most romantic moment." Ji Yuan secretly made a whisper to her.
JI Yuan hugged Yu Jingjing as he said warmly to Yu Jingjing, "I feel that I'm the luckiest man in this trial. Haha."
Although he was hugging Yu Jingjing, he was actually secretly looking at Feng Minyue who shyly avoided looking at him…
"Ji Yuan, do you know that you've touched my heart that day when you composed that song for me." Yu Jingjing said to him with meaningful glances.
Ji Yuan laughed weakly; actually I've composed that song for Maiden Feng…
All of a sudden, there were two brilliant flashes of light that startled everyone.
Ling Feiyue and Little Princess had both suddenly appeared and they had an unpleasant look on their faces due to the trial that they had just faced.
Unlike Feng Minyue and Yu Jingjing who had trained the mortal cultivators from the very start, they had made the same mistake as Ji Yuan and most of the other cultivators. In the end, they had to use their astonishing beauty to motivate the mortal cultivators. They were already thinking; better don't let Ji Yuan knows about this...
But when they saw Ji Yuan was hugging Yu Jingjing in front of them, they were even more startled as they said at the same time, "Ji Yuan, what are you doing?"
Ji Yuan was excited to see them again as he laughed, "Wait, wait! This isn't what you're thinking. I can explain…"
"Ji Yuan, what are you saying?" Yu Jingjing asked. "You've just pledged to take me as your consort."
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, "Actually it is actually what you're all thinking."
Ling Feiyue and Little Princess were startled, "What?"
Bai Qianfeng was smiling, "That is right. Maiden Yu will be our Sister Jingjing from now onward."
Xiang Li giggled silently, "And me too as well."
Fairy Anyang muttered with cold sarcasm, "And so am I as well."
