Chapter 272 Farewell Ji Yuan…
After entering the blue portal, Ji Yuan and his group found themselves in a new place that was surrounded by black cliffs.
Ji Yuan laughed when he saw Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi and Feng Minyue again. “Xiang Li’s magic works again.”
Xiang Li could not resist a chuckle in his soul sea. “That is for sure!”
Just as Ji Yuan was laughing jovially, a gentle voice that had come from Feng Minyue had suddenly said to him. “Ji Yuan, it is time for us to part.”
Ji Yuan: ???
Ji Yuan: ???
Ji Yuan: ???
Not only was Ji Yuan startled but Ling Feiyue, Little Princess and Bai Qianfeng as well.
“Why?” Ji Yuan inhaled softly. “You’re not happy with me or?”
Feng Minyue averted her eyes before she shook her head. “I actually appreciate being in your party but I’ve my own group of companions…”
Ji Yuan panicky said. “You can always rejoin them when we’ve found them. I promise you I won’t force you to stay in our party.”
Ling Feiyue nodded and her disappointment was clearly shown. “Ji Yuan is right. Maiden Feng, are you not happy with us? I’ve thought that we have all got along very well together?”
Shui Xisi smiled. “I may not be terribly close to Sister Fan but I am sure that she doesn’t mind that you join us first. Moreover we have the obligation to take care of you while Sister Fan isn’t here.”
Little Princess rolled her eyes; this Shui Xisi was already treating herself as part of their original party…
“Why do you want to leave?” Even Bai Qianfeng was asking quietly. In her heart, Ji Yuan is the greatest cultivator and there is no reason to leave the party. Moreover Maiden Feng Minyue isn’t a weak cultivator and she is a peaked great saintess.
In fact, she is on par with Shui Xisi, above Ling Feiyue and Little Princess in her cultivation realm level.
Even Xiang Li was gasping silently in Ji Yuan’s soul sea. “Nooo!!! No! No please!”
Ji Yuan forced himself to smile. “Look! They all want you to be in the party as well. We are so glad to have you with us. Will you stay with us then?”
Feng Minyue lowered her head quietly…
The main reason why she did not want to stay in the party is because she feels out of place; all these maidens have some sort of relations with Ji Yuan except for her.
In her heart, she is thinking that it is best that she does not disturb their romantic moments. With her around, there are not many chances that Ji Yuan has with his women.
Yes, I’m a light bulb…It is best that I leave…
So she lifted her head to smile gently. “I’ve already decided. Farewell and best of luck.”
Without waiting for Ji Yuan to reply, she had already turned around and leapt up high above the black cliffs.
With a melancholy heart, Feng Minyue had vanished out of sight with a few blinks of an eye.
Ji Yuan was left stunned…
Ling Feiyue rolled her eyes as she looked at Ji Yuan, “So our Romantic Cultivator Ji Yuan has just lost a beautiful maiden.”
Little Princess could not resist a chuckle. “Make it three instead of one.”
Ji Yuan returned a bitter smile. “It seems like this.”
Bai Qianfeng asked him. “You’re not going after her?”
Ji Yuan began to rub his chin to ponder…
Actually he was not a lecherous cultivator and throughout the years, he had actually chosen his dao companions selectively.𝗇𝑂𝚟𝗲𝐥𝑵𝓮xt.𝑐𝑂𝓂
In fact, he was known as the Most Beautiful Bearded Cultivator and Great Poet Ji Yuan, admired by thousands of maidens all over the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.
While his fellow cultivators were busy chasing the beautiful maidens, Ji Yuan was barely moved by them no matter how beautiful they were.
However as he was often in the drinking company of his fellow cultivators, he had to pretend that he was an badass lecherous arrogant golden celestial that was the same as all the others.
The truth was, he had never recovered from his shameful experience with Little Princess and broken romance with Sword Saintess Jian Yuluo (Yuxian).
When he had lost Yuxian, he had thought that he would never fall in love again until he caught sight of Jiajia.
All of a sudden, his manly vibes and interest in the opposite sex had suddenly returned.
Jiajia had an enticing charm that had suddenly caught his attention and he had thought that she was a very special maiden even though she was only a fifth realm golden celestial when they had first met while he was already a peaked sixth realm golden supremacy.
He did not know that at that time she was actually a peaked great saintess as well as the true protégé master of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace.
Actually he did not put much hope that Jiajia would give him any attention and he was not the type of cultivator that would force a weaker cultivator to submit to him.
But to his surprise, Jiajia had actually agreed to his pledge of waiting for him for a hundred years.
A hundred years may be a blink of an eye to a celestial cultivator but to Ji Yuan, it was far too short.
He did not put much hope that he would be able to become a saint and to protect Jiajia from Xue Qianxue in a hundred years but he was willing to try to offend the Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue.
It was because Jiajia really stirred his heart.
And so was Feng Minyue.
But he did not want to force her to stay in his party so he had to let her go…
Ji Yuan inhaled deeply. “It is alright. Let her go. She has been a great help to us already. The Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth is a personal trial for the cultivators. We shouldn’t stop her from attempting her own trial lest it will be detrimental to her future attainment.”
Ling Feiyue slowly nodded. “I guess that you are right.”
Ji Yuan laughed as he displayed his lightless profound art as he jumped up to a nearby ledge. “Come. Let’s us go now as well.”
“My lord…” Little Princess began to mutter. “Isn’t this direction where Maiden Feng has just gone to?”
Shui Xisi also returned a perplexed look. “That’s right…”
Ji Yuan smiled weakly. “I did say it is alright for Maiden Feng to leave our party but I didn’t say we are not following her, am I right?”
All the maidens: …
Bai Qianfeng asked. “How are you going to follow her? Did you not see her swiftness movements earlier? You can never catch up with her or know the exact direction that she is going to.”
Ji Yuan rubbed his nose with a grin. “Maiden Feng Minyue is known as the Fragrance Princess and therefore she has a distinct fragrance that is always lingering around her. And it happens that my nose is really very sharp and I think I will be able to track her down.”
All the maidens were all gasping softly; by now they had known that Ji Yuan’s eyesight was really sharp but they had forgotten how sharp Ji Yuan’s nose really is or did not know about it.
Only Ling Feiyue and Bai Qianfeng knew that Ji Yuan has a really sharp nose…
