Chapter 979 Inside The Skull Ring



"Darn!"

Ji Yuan cursed loudly as he stepped into the pocket dimension of the skull ring.

He was looking a little red now, but it was not anger but awkwardness.

Xiang Li and Anyang however were all laughing jovially in his soul sea.

The reason why Ji Yuan had managed to step into inside the skull ring was not because he had cut off his finger but because Fairy Anyang had told him that she was only teasing him after she saw that he had really taken out his divine sword to cut off his finger.

Ji Yuan had actually wanted to cut off his finger first and then to meld it together; he was after all a golden celestial and it was no problem for him to attach his finger again.

But to his great awkwardness, Anyang had suddenly told him that she was only teasing him and she would send him into the skull ring to take a look.

Anyang laughed jovially, "I am a high level Trial Spirit after all. Unraveling this profound treasure isn't a problem for me."

Ji Yuan was still cursing softly after he had landed inside the pocket dimension of the skull ring and he wondered if there was any MC that was the butt of a joke from their fairy spirits like him?

He warned them, "Remember that I am your high and almighty master!"

Anyang giggled, "Well, we are attached to your divine swords now and not your soul sea anymore. So you aren't exactly our master now."

"That's right!" Xiang Li was also giggling.

Ji Yuan frowned, "Have you forgotten that I am the Master of your divine swords!"

Anyang chuckled, "Who is begging who for help now? Do you want to exit this pocket dimension later?"

Ji Yuan immediately laughed weakly, "Hahaha... I was only joking with the two of you."

He was actually thinking: I may have lost this round but I shall win the next round!

Ji Yuan had actually never thought of himself as the master of Xiang Li and Anyang. Rather they were like his close confidants. And this was not the first time that they had joked in this manner as they slapped one another in the face.

To Ji Yuan, he was just sour about not seeing through their little tricks and was not really angry even though he was cursing; cursing was actually quite normal for Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan looked at his surroundings and were startled that to see the towering trees here look quite familiar to the Great Oracle Gate.

Then he growled as he recalled the likeness of the exterior of the Great Oracle Gate to the skull ring...

"Don't tell me that Destiny is playing a joke on me by hiding somewhere here?"

Then he was grinning, "No one can trick me!"

Anyang pointed out, "I have just tricked you, you know."

Ji Yuan pretended not to hear Anyang and walked around the towering forest but he was also cautious since he knows that there were plenty of high level profound monsters in this place.

But before he moved on, he asked Anyang. "Are you sure that you can get me out of here? The last time I was in this place, I was lost for 3 days."

Anyang giggled softly, "Trust me. This skull ring doesn't seem to have a master around now and it will be easy for me to get you out of here."

Ji Yuan looked startled, "You mean Destiny is not here?"n0VelUSB.c0M

Anyang extended her spirit sense around before she said solemnly, "I don't think so but she may be able to conceal her profound aura. If she is around, I can't get you out of here without her permission."

Ji Yuan weakly said, "I hope that you are not joking with me..."

He was soon walking in the forest and walking cautiously since he had a bad experience in the past in this place; the profound beasts in this place was all extremely high level and above the 7th rank.

An hour later, he was suddenly smiling and he said to Xiang Li and Anyang. "Guess what? I think that I've heard a maiden bathing in the springs ahead. Maybe that may be Destiny?"

Anyang rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't know that my lord's hearing is as sharp as your eyesight."

Xiang Li asked curiously, "Big Brother, are you sure? Maybe you are wrong?"

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "Trust me. My nose can pick up the scent of water from faraway and I can sniff the fragrance soap that is used by the maidens. Haha..."

Anyang rolled her eyes with a sheepish look, "So it is your nose and not your hearings..."

Xiang Li said to Anyang as she praised Ji Yuan, "Well Big Brother can even sniff if a maiden is a chaste maiden or not from afar."

Ji Yuan: ...

"Xiang Li, I didn't say that. Don't put words into my mouth."

But he was soon grinning, "But I can tell if the maiden is chaste or not just by looking at her..."

Xiang Li and Anyang curiously asked, "How?"

Ji Yuan chuckled softly, "Secret! I'm not going to share with the two of you... anyway be very quiet. I am going to check what is ahead of us now..."

With just a blink of an eye, Ji Yuan had quickly disappeared into the forest and he had emerged in the thick covering of the undergrowth.

He had found several fern growths that was as tall as him and he had quietly moved along it; also he did not use his divine sense and he was using his eyes instead. It was because while divine sense could extend his sensory perception but it was all too easy for the high level cultivators to sense if someone else was looking at them with their divine sense.

Ji Yuan was a high level cultivator that was not a cultivator as he had depended on several tricks that most cultivators could not depend on.

For example, he could also move like a shadow and no one could see him if they are not looking in his direction.

Anyang warned him: My lord, don't bump into a flesh rotting spirit plant in the undergrowth of the ferns by mistake. Or you will be screwed. You'll be game over if you do. This will be the most awkward death that can happen to any cultivator.

Ji Yuan said weakly to Anyang in his soul sea: I am not that unlucky...

Then all of a sudden, he was frozen on the spot.

It was because he could see the naked backs of two beautiful maidens in front of him as they giggled softly in the river in front of him. Although he could not see their faces but they looked very beautiful and sensuous.

Ji Yuan was immediately drooling as he gasped: They are definitely not Destiny. Her hair is white silver. These two maidens are so beautiful. But why should they be bathing in this place? This is a most dangerous place...

Xiang Li giggled: Hehe. I think that Big Brother is the most dangerous object in this place.

Anyang asked Ji Yuan: I thought that our lord isn't interested in any beauties anymore?

Ji Yuan frowned to Anyang: Did I say so?

As he answered Anyang, his golden eyes were looking at the two beautiful maidens that were bathing naked in the crystal clear river and he could see that they were completely naked.

He was thinking: Maybe I should ask them why they are here? But I should wait for them to be dressed up first, right? So I should wait until they finish their shower or it will be too rude for me to disturb them. I may give them a fright if I appear just like this...

All of a sudden, one of the maidens turned and shouted in his direction, "Who is there peeping at us?!"

Ji Yuan was shocked that his perfect concealment was actually discovered!

"No, wait! I am not a peeping tom! I am just a passer-by..."

Xiang Li covered her face: Big Brother, this excuse is a little too commonly used...
