Chapter 345: The Red Mansion (2)

Ling Feiyue hummed coldly as she looked at Yun Chi, "Hmph! Pardon! We're not Ji Yuan's attendants. Rather, we're all his beloved consorts!"

Both Feng Minyue and Shui Xisi were startled and their lips moved to protest silently; who is his beloved consort…

Little Princess said with equal coldness, "I think that you look very much like a gold digger."

Yun Chi appeared to be startled by the harsh tone that was used by Little Princess that she turned to Ji Yuan to ask, "Please believe me. I'm not a gold digger and I've no ill-intentions."

Ji Yuan laughed, "I believe you."

All the maidens: …

Fairy Anyang was saying to Xiang Li, "I think that a big catfight is about to start. Don't you think so?"

Xiang Li was rolling her eyes, "I hope not! I don't know who to support…"

Fairy Anyang: …

Yun Chi turned to Ji Yuan to ask, "They are your women? Sorry I didn't know about it."

"It's alright." Ji Yuan laughed.

Yun Chi smiled pleasantly, "But do you think that a consort should worship her lord? If I've a lord, I will surely put him above everything else and that includes respecting him and not interrupting him in front of the others."

"Haha. That's because you're a wonderful maiden." Ji Yuan laughed, "Actually I do not mind at all."

Shui Xisi said coldly, "Are you here to tell us all these or are you here to lecture us? Let me tell you that you're not welcome here at all!"

"We're in the middle of a trial." Yun Chi smiled, "Where do you expect me to go then?"

"Weird, this hall is so big and has so many passages. Or are you blind?" Shui Xisi mocked coldly.

Ji Yuan muttered, "We're all cultivators here and we can talk politely…"

"Ji Yuan, whose side are you on?" Ling Feiyue interrupted unhappily.

"Or he is thinking with his lower body now." Little Princess hummed.

Yu Jingjing, Feng Minyue and Bai Qianfeng were looking awkward; they did not want to be involved in any spats.

However it seemed that Ling Feiyue, Little Princess and Shui Xisi were all no pushovers and they were bent on driving this Yun Chi away.

Shui Xisi repeated to Yun Chi, "Why don't you leave now?"

Instead of replying to Shui Xisi, Yun Chi turned to Ji Yuan with a pleasant smile to say. "If you're my lord, I will just keep quiet because any disrespect to your guests is like a slap on your face…"

"You can leave now." Ji Yuan interrupted coolly.

Yun Chi was startled, "What did you just say?"

Ji Yuan grinned, "You must be hard on your hearing. I'll repeat, you can leave now."

Yun Chi: …

She could not believe what she was hearing…

And she was very sure that no man will be able to turn her away, moreover turn her away in such an ugly manner.

Even the six maidens that were with Ji Yuan were startled and they could not believe what Ji Yuan was saying all of a sudden. It was as though he had suddenly become another person and had suddenly lost all his friendliness with this Yun Chi.

As Yun Chi slowly turned back, there was a perplexed look in her eyes.

"We shall meet again soon, farewell…"

Her walk was elegant and slow; she was half-expecting for Ji Yuan to call her back or to apologize to her but it did not come…

It was because Ji Yuan was serious when he had asked her to leave.

Although Ji Yuan likes beautiful, especially the ones that appeal to his heart but this Yun Chi had made a terrible mistake and that was to belittle his innermost sentiments for his beloveds.

He may be a male chauvinist most of the time but he also had the most sentimental heart. Ling Feiyue and Little Princess, they are both dear in his heart; he has never forgotten how they are acquainted, the rough journeys that they had been through and the tears that he had unwittingly brought to them.

Even today, he could still remember how he had made the proud Dark Mistress Feiyue wept in front of him by pretending not to reciprocate her feelings and he had even shamed her in front of Hua Baiyue and Hua Wuwu. At that time, even Jiajia was there in secret to witness his shameful act.

As for Little Princess, she had almost ended her life the last time and he was so close to losing her. It actually took them over three hundred years to clear their various misunderstandings.

He is not prepared or is willing to lose her again. Since she had made the choice of entering the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and he could not dissuade her, he had resolved to protect her instead.

And he had fully understood that Ling Feiyue and Little Princess are quite tolerant to his overbearing male chauvinist behavior and did not rebuke him harshly.

In fact they had closed an eye to his man misdeeds.

Rather, it was their little act of theirs that showed him of their affections for him instead.

And he was enjoying this little process of slowly opening up to them and they were also doing the same as well.

He will not allow anyone to hurt nor belittle his beloveds.

Yun Chi had clearly underestimated his love for them.

Beautiful maidens?

The Great Poet Ji Yuan has countless beautiful fan girls but this does not mean that he will take a liking to them all.

In Ji Yuan's tunnel vision, Ling Feiyue and Little Princess are his family; no one can insult them in front of him!

Ling Feiyue was startled as she muttered, "You're really letting her go just like this?"

"I can't believe." Little Princess muttered.

Even Fairy Anyang was saying to Xiang Li, "I don't believe…"

Shui Xisi, Yu Jingjing, Feng Minyue and Bai Qianfeng were staring at Ji Yuan, unable to believe what they were actually hearing; Ji Yuan was actually acting quite rude in front of such a polite and pleasant maiden, at least to Ji Yuan that was the case.

Ji Yuan frowned, "Why are all of you looking at me like this? Do you think that I'm only capable of thinking with my lower body?"

All the maidens, including Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang in his soul sea were all nodding silently at him.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

"Haha, actually…"

"Actually, this must be a plot of yours, am I right?" Little Princess chuckled.

Shui Xisi giggled, "That how he got Maiden Yu."

Yu Jingjing was suddenly flushing behind her curtain veil. She quickly muttered weakly, "No…this…isn't what…you…all…think…"

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

There was a sudden earthquake that shook the entire red hall, startling Ji Yuan and his party all of a sudden.

All of a sudden there were several loud shouts across the red hall and many of the cultivators were rushing to the source of the earthquake excitingly, "A secret passage has just opened!"

Another shouted frantically, "Another of the Fallen God Relic has revealed itself!"

"Quick, go and have a look!"

"Hurry, everyone!"

Ji Yuan: ???

He was growling softly to the maidens, "Why are they sharing the location of the Fallen God Relic with one another?"

Bai Qianfeng said quietly, "Maybe they need one another. After all, this is an S Rank Trial."

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "I've almost forgotten that this is an S Rank Trial. The way here has been too easy except for a single bad encounter with the Death God Mingwang."
