Chapter 1029 The Argos Palace (2)
Xuan Qiaoqiao said to Ji Yuan, “I’m heading to the Cardinal Cathedral now. I shall see you soon enough.”
Although she seemed to be speaking to Ji Yuan but she was also putting a warning to Jun Qianfeng as well not to mess around with her ‘slave’.
Ji Yuan acknowledged immediately as they had earlier rehearsed what to say, “Yes, Your Holiness.”
With that, Xuan Qiaoqiao began to head in another direction.
Ji Yuan could see that immediately a dozen of the cultivator sentries that had surrounded them earlier were all following her.
Ji Yuan bitterly thought: I have thought that the Cardinal Priestess is only facing problems from her elders but it seemed to him that she was also facing strict surveillance from the others too.
Jun Feitian said quickly to his elder sister Jun Qianfeng, “I’ll leave this slave with you. I will go check on the Cardinal Priestess.”
With that, he had hurriedly left Ji Yuan alone with Jun Qianfeng and her entourage.
Most of the sentries had also faded to the shadows by now.
But Ji Yuan could feel the presence of numerous divine senses that were still trained on him from the numerous palaces and these people were merely watching but not showing themselves.
When Jun Qianfeng saw that her brother was gone, she smiled at Ji Yuan. “What is your name?”
Ji Yuan grinned, “I am Ji Yuan…”
All of a sudden Jun Qianfeng had suddenly slapped him violently and said coldly, “You are 4444!”
Ji Yuan of course was able to see that she was going to slap him but he remembered that he was merely a 2nd realm cultivator now and he pretended to roll on the ground with great exaggeration as he was being slapped hard.
He did not feel any pain but he had pretended that it hurt.
Jun Qianfeng had actually controlled her profound strength as she could tell that Ji Yuan was only at the 2nd cultivation realm.
She hummed coldly, “This is only a lesson for you. Next time remember your name.”
Ji Yuan pretended to beg to plead, “I won’t dare to forget my name again! I am 4444!”
Jun Qianfeng was smiling now, “Good. Now follow me to the Argos Palace and I shall delegate your slave duties to you.”
While she was talking to Ji Yuan, he was thinking: You and your brother must be a spy!
He had marked her for slapping him.
Anyang covered her face: My lord, this conclusion is too hasty… 𝗇𝗈𝔳𝞮𝓁𝑵𝖊xt.𝑐𝒐𝑀
Xiang Li was laughing unconcerned about what had just happened: She is a spy?
Very soon, Ji Yuan found himself in the great halls of the Argos Palace.
The great halls of the Argos Palace were grand and there were many beautiful canvases in this place; there were numerous paintings of the Ancient Old Ones in their winged forms and their armaments.
Ji Yuan was quite impressed.
Then he spotted many ‘slaves’ lining in the great hall; the males all worn a simple white garment while the maidens did not cover their upper bodies.
Ji Yuan found his eyes hovering at the young maidens that were in the great hall…
A young maiden in golden robe that was at the 6th cultivation realm quickly greeted Jun Qianfeng, “Your Cardinal Confidant, this is a new slave?”
Jun Qianfeng lightly nodded before saying, “Priestess Ur Muyuan. He is 4444, a new slave that the Cardinal Priestess has brought back.”
Ur Muyuan was startled, “He is brought back by the Cardinal Priestess? But he is a man. Why did the Cardinal Priestess bring him back? What use is he going to be?”
She turned to appraise Ji Yuan before frowning, “He does have a beautiful face…”
Jun Qianfeng nodded nonchalantly, “Maybe we shall have him to be a male harlot…”
Ji Yuan thought: This isn’t such a bad idea…
Jun Qianfeng was continuing her conversation with Ur Muyuan, “We can have him to entertain the visiting female abyssals as a male harlot. Hopefully, he won’t be broken so soon…”
Ji Yuan turned ashen immediately: This is a bad idea…
Jun Qianfeng paused to ponder for a while before she turned to say to Ji Yuan, “4444, do you have any talents that you can contribute to us?”
Ji Yuan blinked his eyes, “Talents? Such as?”
Jun Qianfeng frowned, “Such as craftmanship, painting, carpentry, masonry etc.”
Ji Yuan immediately grinned, “I am good in poetry.”
Jun Qianfeng, Ur Muyuan: …
Jun Qianfeng frowned, “We don’t need anyone that is good in talking.”
Ji Yuan: …
Then I can only be a male harlot due to my beautiful looks? I didn’t come to this place to offer my services as a free of charge male harlot…
Jun Qianfeng turned to say to Ur Muyuan, “I guess that we can give him a slave position as a male harlot since we are in lack of beautiful men for this position…”
“Wait!” Ji Yuan panicky said.
“I am also good in music. Does it count?”
Jun Qianfeng stared coldly at Ji Yuan, “A common slave like you would be good in music?”
Ji Yuan weakly explained, “I am really good in music. Haha…”
Ur Muyuan looked at Jun Qianfeng, “Your Cardinal Confidant, there is indeed a position for someone who is good in music to support the Cardinal Harpies.”
Jun Qianfeng frowned, “This is out of question. The Cardinal Harpies are…”
All of a sudden, a regal maiden in splendid robe had suddenly appeared in the great hall and she was laughing softly, “I’ve heard that this slave actually knows music. My Cardinal Harpies indeed is on a lookout for such a talent.”
Jun Qianfeng seemed to turn ashen immediately when she saw her.
As for Ur Muyuan, she quickly greeted. “Your Cardinal Harpy, we are just discussing how to assign this 4444.”
Jun Qianfeng said coldly, “This 4444 may only know simple music. Maybe he only knows how to sing his native songs. It is unlikely that he knows how to use our musical instruments.”
Ji Yuan saw a ray of hope that he may escape from becoming a male harlot so he quickly said to this newcomer, “Your Cardinal Harpy, you can put me to the test.”
The regal maiden smiled at Ji Yuan and said softly, “I have exactly the same sentiment as well.”
Then she turned to smile at Jun Qianfeng and Ur Muyuan, “You don’t mind that I put him to the test, do you?”
Jun Qianfeng unhappily said, “No, I don’t.”
