Once the 4 divine consorts had decided on Ji Yuan's fate, they had quickly sent their female followers to enquiry about Ji Yuan and found out that he had awakened.
Wasting no time, they had quickly asked their female followers to 'escort' Ji Yuan to them.
When Ji Yuan was brought to them, the 4 divine consorts had quickly dismissed their female followers and they were looking a little awkward.
Ji Yuan was not exactly startled when he saw the 4 extremely beautiful divine consorts together but he was startled to see the sight of these 4 extremely beautiful maidens as they stood together and it was like a scene from his dreams; the enticing charm of the 4 divine consorts together was enough to drive most men crazy with lust.
He had not previously noticed this as he was only paying attention to the Smiling Divine Maiden and trying to urge her to leave with him.
Even when the other divine consorts were trying to claim 'him', he was still arguing with his senior sister.
That was because none of the 4 divine consorts were actually talking to him at that time.
And when their arguments turned ugly, they began to attack one another.
Unfortunately, Ji Yuan happened to be in the middle and he had no idea why he was being 'attacked' for no reason. There was no other reason except that he was simply caught in their crossfires.
Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er was the first to speak and she was looking a little sheepish, "Yuan Beluga… or should I call you Ji Yuan, how are your injuries?"
Ji Yuan answered bitterly, "Thanks to all of you here, I am still 'alive' now. Or should I give thanks to my new spirit toga that I am able to survive all your profound attacks."
Almost at the same time, all 4 divine consorts said at the same time as they pointed at one another. "I didn't attack him. You did!"
Ji Yuan: …
Actually, you all did. You really think my divine sense did not know which direction that I was being attacked from?
Divine Consort Tang Manni turned the other way even though she was saying to Ji Yuan now, "Anyway, I'm sorry. We have asked you here because you can only choose one of us to go with. Whatever your choice is, we won't interfere and we will respect your decision."
Divine Consort Sun Dingjun smiled warmly, "Yuan Beluga… I mean Ji Yuan. Do you remember how blush I am when I am talking to you? And you are also blushing too. Heehee. Come with me and I'll promise you that we can do plenty of blush, blush things together."
Almost immediately, Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er interrupted unhappily. "Slut, you are too shameless!"
At the same time, Divine Consort Tang Manni and Divine Consort Dongfang Xin were also angrily shouting in the direction of Divine Consort Sun Dingjun, "You are too shameless!"
Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er said melancholy to Ji Yuan, "Yuan Beluga, have you forgotten your Little Jie'Er already? Or are you upset with me? Maybe you don't know our sacred spiritas laws but it is alright. We are destined to become cultivation partner together. Come with me, alright?"
Divine Consort Dongfang Xin showed Ji Yuan the gold coin that he had tossed to her and she was saying sweetly, "Do you remember this? By our sacred spiritas law; if I have accepted your gold coin then in the future we are a pair of cultivation partner. Don't you want to dual cultivate with me? I am a superior divine consort and you have nothing to lose for coming with me. In fact, you can be with your senior sister at the same time."
Ji Yuan had to admit that this Divine Consort Xin was really a most gorgeous maiden with a devil body and that was why he had groped her when she had suddenly attacked him.
Indeed, choosing Divine Consort Dongfang Xin seemed like a better choice and he can be with his senior sister again. What was more, he could also prevent himself from being green by Xi Huangdi or anyone else.
Ji Yuan turned to ask Divine Consort Tang Manni, "What about you? Why should I come with you? Is there anything for me?"
Divine Consort Tang Manni bit her lips and she looked upset, "Hmph! I am only here to save you because you are a guest of my sister…"
She paused for a while but she could not find the heart to continue; it was because she had actually wanted to say that she cannot be bothered to come and save him. She was upset because Ji Yuan made it sounds like he was interested to hear her conditions to have him and this upset her.
All the talks about Ji Yuan being her sister's benefactor was also thrown to the back of her head.
This Ji Yuan was too infuriating and he seemed interested in Divine Consort Dongfang Xin because his eyes were constantly looking at her boobs.
This was naturally not lost on Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er and Divine Consort Sun Dingjun as well.
Ji Yuan asked all of them with a pondering look, "From what I can gather, all of you here seem to know that I am a celestial? How did you know that?"
Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er quietly pointed at the black ring that was on Ji Yuan, "You all have the same black trial ring on you. That is how we know that you are a celestial cultivator from the Celestial Realm."
Ji Yuan began to smile most bitterly; this was obvious to him because he was a celestial. He had never thought that the divine consorts were able to know the secrets of the celestials.
Divine Consort Tang Manni said quietly, "She is right. I have already known that you are a celestial since day 1 from your black ring. I have not only known that you are a celestial and you are also trying to obtain 100 Trust Points from us to complete your trial."
Ji Yuan was truly stunned, "Even the details of our trial?! How the heck did you know?"
Divine Consort Tang Manni answered slowly, "1000 years ago, a celestial leaked it to us. However, this information is only known to just a few of us in the Spirit Divine Realm as it will create a panic. It is only then did we know that we have been infiltrated by the high level celestials for thousands of years and our divine consorts had been played by them…"
She inhaled deeply before continuing, "From that point onward, we have known of the existence of celestials and their trial details. Therefore every 500 years, we will take precautions against the celestials."
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "That traitorous celestial. I wanna kill him…"
"That won't be necessary." Divine Consort Dongfang Xin had suddenly said with great melancholy. "That celestial is my father and he had since died as a champion in the great games of the Spiritas Tower to redeem himself of his great sins."
Ji Yuan was stunned: Divine Consort Dongfang Xin is a half-celestial?!
Then she icily said, "But don't be misunderstood. My father is an unsung hero in the Spirit Divine Realm and he is just trying to redeem the sins of the celestials. Without my father, the despicable celestials will be running amok every 500 years and goodness know how many of the female spiritas will be their victims. Most of the male celestials are only fit to be my dogs in the spiritas tower."
Divine Consort Dongfang Xin quickly said, "But you are different. I don't intend to send you to the great games of the spiritas tower."
Ji Yuan blinked his eyes: I am a despicable celestial?
Xiang Li who had been listening, began to giggle: Of course not, Big Brother. Prove them all wrong!
Right, Xiang Li.
Ji Yuan immediately raised his hand forward to protest with a straight face, "I am totally different from the other male celestials. In fact, I am not thinking of playing with anyone. Matter of fact, I've the intention to come clean about my trial objectives too."
All 4 of the divine consorts were gasping all of a sudden; it was because they could sense no fluctuations in Ji Yuan's heart beat and they believed that he was speaking the truth.
Xiang Li was giggling: My Big Brother's control heartbeat skill is top notch!
Ji Yuan had by now mastered a profound skill that was considered useless to most and that was the Control Heartbeat Profound Skill that was part of his Divine Heart Recite which was a divine profound art. There are 3 parts to the Divine Heart Recite; the Absolute Spirits, the Undying Fighting Spirit and Natural Instinct. (See Chapter 56).
By using the Natural Instinct of his Divine Heart Recite, he was a natural now in controlling his heart beat and not even the divine consorts of the Spirit Divine Realm were able to know that he was lying with a straight face.
Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er was now saying, "Yuan Beluga… Ji Yuan… please make your choice now. I am sure that you will choose a divine consort with the highest Trust Points, right? And that is me, right?"
Ji Yuan was smiling awkwardly.
Indeed, even without checking his black ring, he knew that he had the highest Trust Points with Little Jie'Er and that he got the lowest Trust Points of -250 with Divine Consort Tang Manni…
Divine Consort Sun Dingjun was smiling, "My trust points with you aren't too low, am I right? Also, your friend Xiao Muhan is also with me. Look, I am blushing now. Don't you want to choose me instead?"
Dongfang Xin gave Ji Yuan a shy look, "Your senior sister is with me. Join me instead."
Ji Yuan inhaled deeply…
Then he said slowly, "I have made my choice. I will choose Divine Consort Tang Manni."
Divine Consort Tang Manni who had turned her head away was startled and she was looking at Ji Yuan with a look of disbelief…
As for the other 3 divine consorts, they were all shocked by Ji Yuan's decision as they all believed that they all stood a chance…
Xiang Li on the other hand was giggling: I know that Big Brother can't count but I do like this decision of yours.
