Chapter 1113 The Victory Banquet (4)

Ji Yuan was also startled by himself when he had suddenly broken the cup in his hands.n((O)/v..e-/l)(B-(I--n

When Ding Xiaoxiao had suddenly said to him that she also had a good piece of news to reveal as well, he was so startled that he broken the cup in his hands.

It was because he thought that Ding Xiaoxiao was about to announce her engagement to 1 of his 3 brothers.

This was logical to Ji Yuan because Ding Xiaoxiao actually did not kill them but were even with them to protect them. If she did not like one of them, would a lofty and powerful cultivator do something like this?

Ji Yuan would if he likes a maiden.

Therefore, his analysis should be quite accurate.

Xuan Qiaoqiao was also startled when Ji Yuan had suddenly broken his cup and she was looking with a perplexed look at Juan Xian'Er, Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er as she silently wondered to them.

She was wondering if she did the right thing by asking Ji Yuan's brothers to stay; they are brothers, and good friends, right?

However, the 3 other maidens were equally clueless.

Ji Yuan smiled weakly to everyone as he explained awkwardly, "Erm, I use a little force when I was drinking. Hahaha..."

When everyone had heard Ji Yuan, they were all laughing jovially again.

It was just an accident.

Even Guo Taiming, Shen Qin and Li Ye were all looking quite relieved and they were all laughing jovially again as they goggled at the many beautiful serving maidens in the great hall.

As soon as this was over, Ji Yuan displayed an ugly look as he asked Ding Xiaoxiao. "Just now, you say that you are going to announce something? What is it?"

Ding Xiaoxiao wondered why Ji Yuan was suddenly looking at her with such a solemn look, "My three friends are all here now so I am going to announce something that is related to them. Surely you don't mind, am I right?"

Ji Yuan's face become even uglier; even though he had promised his three brothers not to green them since they were interested in Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao but he just could not help feeling quite disgruntled about it.

His guts feeling was right after all; Ding Xiaoxiao is going to announce her engagement to 1 of his 3 brothers.

And Ji Yuan was now feeling quite unhappy about it.

But he forced himself to say bitterly, "I don't mind at all. You can announce it to them all. The more people that know about this, the more the better."

Ding Xiaoxiao smiled at his reply.

Then she turned to face in front of her as she said sharply, "Everyone, today I have another matter to announce to all of you..."

When Ding Xiaoxiao had announced this, everyone stopped their toasting and jovial chatters to turn to look in her direction.

"Maiden Xiaoxiao also has something to announce to all of us..."

"I wonder what it is?"

"Maybe she is also announcing her engagement?"

"Like Savior Ji Yuan, Maiden Xiaoxiao is also our Savior..."

Ji Yuan's face grow more and more ugly as he waited for Ding Xiaoxiao to announce her 'good' news.

Ding Xiaoxiao continued with a faint smile, "Now that Ji Yuan's brothers are here, it is now convenient for me to announce this..."

Shen Qin, Li Ye and Guo Taiming were curiously looking at Ding Xiaoxiao: ???

They were all thinking: Is she announcing that she will be with one of us? This happiness has come too suddenly...

Ding Xiaoxiao sighed softly as she brushed aside her long silver hair covered her pointed ears. At the same time, she also revealed her crimson eyes instead of her golden eyes.

Like Ji Yuan, she was capable of using the Mystic Eye Profound Art to change herself to a golden celestial or even a low level cultivator.

"As you can see, I am not a celestial cultivator. As a matter of fact, I am a desolate cultivator. Now do you see?"

Shen Qin, Guo Taiming and Li Ye were all startled but they quickly protested, "We don't mind at all. You are our friend, celestial or not!"

Ji Yuan was startled too and his face becomes less ugly: She isn't announcing her engagement to them? No wait, maybe she will soon if they don't mind her being a desolate cultivator at all...

Then his face had become ugly again.

Ding Xiaoxiao smiled wryly as she had suddenly displayed her 8th realm cultivation, "I am also not a low level cultivator too. I have in fact, used my profound strength to pull all of you together for this trial. Or else, we are bounded to be separated for this trial."

This time though, Shen Qin, Guo Taiming and Li Ye were all astonished and were all startled.

Ding Xiaoxiao continued to say quietly to them, "I lie to the three of you."

Guo Taiming immediately said shamelessly, "Love crosses all racial and cultivation boundaries. I don't mind at all!"

Even Shen Qin and Li Ye were both agreeing strongly, "Brother Guo Taiming is right. Love conquers all."

Ji Yuan felt quite ashamed that he actually knows the three of them and he felt like digging a hole to hide himself: Why did I have to know these 3 shameless brothers? For a maiden, they are willing to throw away all their principles and prides. If I were them, I definitely won't do the same as them.

Ding Xiaoxiao smiled wryly to them, "However, I am afraid that I am already..."

She turned to Ji Yuan and smiled tenderly, "I am already engaged to Ji Yuan."

Ji Yuan was startled: Engaged to me?! When?!

Then he received a kick from Ding Xiaoxiao from under the shared table as she sent him a divine whisper: You don't mind helping me to shake them off, do you?

Ji Yuan immediately stood up and grinned with pleasure, "Right. Right! Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao is already engaged to me. Hahaha..."

When everyone had heard Ji Yuan, they were all astonished and were looking quite startled.

Although Xuan Qiaoqiao, Juan Xian'Er, Tang Manni, Little Jie'Er and Li Yifen were all looking quite startled but somehow they had expected this as Ji Yuan and Ding Xiaoxiao were just too compatible when they were fighting together; they had even developed two combined sword arts together instead of one.

If anyone had told them that Ji Yuan and Ding Xiaoxiao were not an item, they would actually not believe it.

This was something that they had been suspecting all along but they had no evidence to prove it.

As for other ancient cultivators of the Nightfall Heights, they too had suspected that Ji Yuan and Ding Xiaoxiao were an item and this announcement, proved everything.

Shen Qin, Li Ye and Guo Taiming were all staring coldly at Ji Yuan now and their faces were extremely ugly; didn't Ji Yuan tell them that he is not interested in Ding Xiaoxiao and he won't green his brothers?

Anyang pointed out to Ji Yuan: Did you just talk about principles just now? You actually lie to your brothers? Or you really like Maiden Xiaoxiao and intends to green them?

Xiang Li giggled softly: Big Brother is always right.

Anyang: ...

Ji Yuan protested immediately: Maiden Ding Xiaoxiao isn't theirs in the first place. So this isn't considered to be greening, right? Moreover, I am being chivalrous to help her to shake off my irritating brothers. Hahaha...

There was a delightful glow in Ji Yuan's countenance now and he was no longer displaying an ugly look at Ding Xiaoxiao.

But he quickly said aloud, "Everyone, I have another matter to announce too."

Everyone: ???

Ji Yuan had made this announcement to distract himself from answering to Shen Qin, Guo Taiming and Li Ye who were all looking quite murderous at him.

"During my journey to your realm, I have encountered some helpless slaves. The Nightfall Heights don't mind taking them in? Not as slaves but as free people, do you? I can't bring them to my realm but I also can't just abandon them."

Juan Xian'Er and Xuan Qiaoqiao had remembered the people that they encountered while inside the Delphi Palace.

So Xuan Qiaoqiao took the initiative to answer Ji Yuan, "Yeah, why not?"

The other Cardinals were also nodding as well.

This was a small favor to repay their Savior Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "Thank you all..."

But at the same time, he pretended not to look at his 3 brothers and instead he was looking at the beautiful alluring figure of Ding Xiaoxiao who was sitting next to him.

And Ding Xiaoxiao had also caught his look and she was smiling faintly, "Thank you for coming to my aid. I want to do a clean parting with them. As you know, we will soon be enemies once I am back in the Celestial Realm. Will your brothers be angry with you?"

Ji Yuan was staring dreamily at Ding Xiaoxiao instead, "Huh? What brothers?"

Then he grinned, "Do you always keep your word of honor?"

Ding Xiaoxiao answered nonchalantly, "Of course. I always keep my word of honor."

Ji Yuan stared at her bosoms as he asked playfully, "So, you just say that you are engaged to me..."

Ding Xiaoxiao: ...
