Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei said quietly to Ji Yuan, "Master Ji Yuan, you are free to stay in my tavern. I will reserve for you the best room and the best food. It will be free of charge for you…"
Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes when he heard the words 'free of charge'. When it comes to this word, it was not always 'free of charge' when it comes to the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu. He began to wonder how she was coping now.
It was likely that she had already used the golden talisman to escape from this trial. After all, this trial was totally unfriendly to the maidens who had to seduce another maiden.
This trial was a man's paradise instead…
When he had thought of this, he could not help making a subtle grin…
Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei took a slow flush look at Ji Yuan before saying, "You are not a Spiritas and therefore not from my Spirit Race. I'll sent Maiden Flower Ju to brief you on the important matters of the city."
The reason why she was looking a little flustered was because Ji Yuan was going to stay under the same roof as her and moreover, she knew in her heart that he had seen everything of her while she was in his inner spiritual seas.
Earlier, she had actually hesitated to enter into Ji Yuan's inner spiritual seas because she knew that she would be entering in her nakedness into his inner spiritual seas.
She had sensed something in Ji Yuan's inner spiritual seas that may be able to aid her recovery but that thing was firmly rooted inside his inner spiritual seas by an unknown immortal power. The only way for her to find this out was to enter his inner spiritual seas to take a look.
That was also why she had asked him if he had a cultivation partner earlier. It was mainly because she did not want anyone to look at her sacred body.
But this Ji Yuan was the most beautiful man that she had ever seen and he also exhibited a good character when he had intervened earlier when an outer world cultivator had criticized the food in this place and even accused her for overcharging.
Now this was most unreasonable since the rates that she had been charging was so cheap!
She was not wrong on this Ji Yuan too; only a noble celestial cultivator like him would have such a pure profound inner spiritual seas. Even though his inner spiritual seas may not look formidable but this was only a matter of time since he had the Golden Natal Divine Pearl to aid him.
It was already rare enough for a great saint celestial cultivator to emphasis such a strong emphasis on cultivating the pureness of his inner spiritual seas instead of cultivating the cultivations strength of his soul sea first.
But at the same time, she could also see that Ji Yuan had a good heart in his soul sea too and that he even had two spirit fairies following him.
It was a common knowledge in the Spirit Divine Realm that spirit fairies would never follow a cultivator with an impure soul and moreover he had two of them following him.
However, there was one spirit fairy by name of Xiang Li that had caught her attention. It was because while she was inside Ji Yuan's inner spiritual seas for the past 3 days, she could feel that this Xiang Li was also aiding her to harness the spiritual powers of the Golden Natal Divine Pearl and to cultivate it.
Actually, Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei did not know that Ji Yuan had once entered the Dream Trial to cleanse his impure inner spiritual seas.
Ji Yuan had a sudden weird look as he looked at Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei; it was because now that she was no longer looking frail, she was actually growing more and more attractive each time that he was looking at her and he was suddenly thinking of her complete nakedness in his inner spiritual seas…
Just then, the extremely beautiful maiden 'Han Muyuan' had entered the room with a chuckle and she was accompanied by Maiden Flower Ju and Xiao Muhan.
The extremely beautiful maiden 'Han Muyuan' giggled softly, "While outside of this sealed room, I can already sense that mistress has made a full recovery. This Ji Yuan is really something. I don't believe it…"
Xiao Muhan was muttering unhappily and he was staring at Ji Yuan, "I don't believe it either…"
It was because he had been imagining Ji Yuan running his dirty fingers all over the Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei for the past 3 days and that due to some luck, Ji Yuan had actually succeeded in 'curing' her.
Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes as he stared back at Xiao Muhan: I know what you must be thinking. Actually, this isn't what you are thinking. I've actually done nothing at all in the past 3 days…except for staring where I shouldn't be staring but this is only looking and nothing else…
Maiden Flower Ju was gasping, "Mistress, you've recovered now…"
The extremely beautiful maiden 'Han Muyuan' turned to look at Ji Yuan with a most pleasant look and this was completely different from her usual look that was 3 days ago.
She smiled pleasantly at Ji Yuan, "I am afraid that you must take my mistress as your consort now…"
But Ji Yuan had suddenly raised his hands to say firmly, "This, I am afraid that I can't. I am only here to cultivate myself and have no interest to look for any cultivation partner…"
That is a big lie; he has the intention to seduce the 4 Divine Consorts and have no time for the others.
Hahaha…
When Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei had heard him, she appeared to be disturbed but she quickly said. "I shall not force Master Ji Yuan then…"
The extremely beautiful maiden 'Han Muyuan' turned to stare angrily at Ji Yuan, "Why you! You have no idea what is good for you!"
Ji Yuan gave her a most awesome look as he grinned, "Even if it is a most beautiful maiden like yourself that is standing in front of me, I am afraid that I have no interest in seeking you out as a cultivation partner. My Way is the Dao and the Dao is the Way of my cultivation life."
He had a loftier target and that was to seduce all 4 Divine Consorts to complete his trial here.
After all, this was a SS Trial and the rewards for completing it must be insane good and he was determined to be the number 1 cultivator again after the disastrous failure of his last previous trial.
And he was going to prove to Xi Huangdi wrong in looking down upon him.
Xiao Muhan's jaws almost dropped when he had heard Ji Yuan: …
It was because both Han Muyuan and Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei were highly attractive maidens and were both great beauties…
The extremely beautiful maiden 'Han Muyuan': …
She had already raised her hands into a fist when Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei interrupted her, "Han Muyuan, stay here. I have things to discuss with you. As for Maiden Flower Ju, may you take Master Ji Yuan and his friend to their own rooms first."
Ji Yuan respectfully bowed with his hands to Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei, "Please forgive me for my disrespect. I have my own difficulties."
With that, he had left the room with Xiao Muhan and Maiden Flower Ju.
He simply had no time for any maidens except for the Divine Consorts!
When the extremely beautiful maiden 'Han Muyuan' was alone with Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei, she began to say unhappily. "This Ji Yuan is too insolent! How dare he say such disrespect things in front of me!"
Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei also displayed a displeasure look on her, "Divine Consort Tang Manni, how dare you say that I am a widow? You have ruined my reputation with your words."
The extremely beautiful maiden 'Han Muyuan' or rather Divine Consort Tang Manni began to giggle, "Sister Yifei. I am just putting a test on him. Maybe he is just a lecherous outer world cultivator. But I really didn't expect that he will be able to cure you of your aliment after such a long time. So, does it mean that Divine Consort Xu Yifei is going to be back to the pinnacle again?"
Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei slowly said, "Don't get distracted. I saw your expression earlier. You have almost lost your cool earlier."
Divine Consort Tang Manni weakly said, "He has dared to disrespect me straight in my face…"
Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei interrupted softly, "He has a good soul unlike the others. Not all the men are fascinated by looks alone."
Divine Consort Tang Manni hummed coldly, "Is it? He seems to forget that I am a Divine Consort and that he has to earn 100 Trust Points to get into my goodwill."
Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei said quietly, "You are not the only one Divine Consort in Snowy Pavilion City. Don't forget that there are 3 others."
Divine Consort Tang Manni curled a slow smile, "Oh? You mean that he has just rejected the most friendliness Divine Consort so that he can get into the goodwill of the other 3 difficult Divine Consorts?"
Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei said, "He doesn't know that you are a Divine Consort. And he isn't a bad man too. Leave him out of your schemes."
Divine Consort Tang Manni rolled her eyes before she chuckled, "Sister Yifei, I am only trying to help you. Maybe he is just a beast of a man and is only playacting with you. We clearly have an advantage and we know that these celestial cultivators are on a trial here."
Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei was quiet.
This was the truth; the celestial cultivators did not know that the Spirit Race had already known what their trial's objectives were and they were also able to identify them with such a glance.
Every 500 years, the celestial cultivators would visit the Spirit Divine Realm with their nefarious purposes.
However, in the past 1000 years, after the capture of a celestial cultivator that spilled the beans loose on the trial that they were having; the Spirit Race was now aware of the intrusions of the celestial cultivators.
The celestial cultivators had one fatal flaw that identified themselves and that was their unremovable black rings that had betrayed their origins.
That was also the reason why Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei knew that Ji Yuan was an outer world cultivator in the first place but this was also a fact that she had concealed from him.
As Divine Consort Tang Manni started to leave the room, she turned around for the last time to say coolly. "Sister Yifei, I know that this tavern is your haven and you will naturally try to protect them. I don't really care if you give them our information. But I can't promise you that I won't harm them if they are outside of your sphere of protection. Also, I hope that you won't reveal to them that I am the Divine Consort Tang Manni."
When she had finished giving her warnings, she said slowly. "While I am grateful to this Ji Yuan that is able to cure my sister and to give her a hope but let's not forget that he is not of our Spirit Race."
With that, she had left the room.
Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei heaved a soft sigh when the room was closed, "Indeed the other 3 Divine Consorts are not easy to handle."
