Chapter 388 The Confession
The steep slopes of the white citadel were not the lofty peaks itself as Ji Yuan soon discovered the hard way.
It was actually hundreds of thick metallic chains that were chained to the white citadel and each chain was as tens of miles long!
Because it was covered with thick snow and ice, it looked like a lofty peak from afar.
And now Ji Yuan and his party were now climbing onto the thick chains carefully.
The icy winds were blowing furiously above.
One wrong move, they will slip!
One slip, they will fall down hundreds of miles below!
And the efforts for the past several days will be in vain!
Yes, the white citadel was further and larger than they had thought; they had indeed been climbing for the past several days.
Ji Yuan was cursing under his breath, “Why are there so many cultivators around?”
He had literally seen thousands of them already.
“That is because there is only one main trial on the 6th level.” Shui Xisi pointed out. “This is already the ultimate trial where all the worlds converged.”
“Ji Yuan!” Ling Feiyue said with great exasperation. “Can you please stop doing that?”
Ji Yuan frowned as he threw a shooting profound iceball down to hit the face of a cultivator far below, provoking an angry malevolent outburst from below.
“Did you do that on purpose?!! What the heck?!”
Ling Feiyue lifted her fingers to point in the direction of the cultivator below. “That. And you’ve already cause more than a dozen cultivators to fall below already.”
Yu Jingjing muttered mindlessly, “This is an utterly disgraceful act, you know.”
Ji Yuan protested immediately, “I don’t see anything wrong with this. It is not like they will die or something. They are all golden saints anyway. You mean, they can’t even dodge my projectile attack? It is only a small tickle to their face and lighter than even the icy breezes here and they can’t take it?!”
He had a good reason for doing so.
It was because the icy profound breezes here were capable of blowing off the maidens’ curtain veils and even their face veils. That was why they were not wearing any right now.
And Ji Yuan could see the hundreds of lecherous golden eyes all around him as he was making his way on the huge chains toward the white citadel.
The cultivator below Ji Yuan was now shouting furiously as he displayed his fighting profound aura, “If you want to fight, so shall it be! I shall teach you who the grand-daddy is!”
Ji Yuan also shouted back as he displayed his fighting profound aura and his two saintly divine swords. “I am YOUR GRAND-DADDY…”
But barely had he muttered out his words, the other cultivator had turned ashen when he saw the two saintly divine swords flashing in front of him and had taken the initiative to jump down from the chains to the depths below.
The other cultivator was thinking panicky; Oh shit! I’ve offended a great figure! I’ve better run first. It is better to lose some face than lose one own life…
Ji Yuan: …
All the maidens: …
Ling Feiyue muttered, “This cultivator is a little spineless. Ji Yuan has not even moved yet…”
“Agree…” Little Princess nodded weakly.
“Ji Yuan is my hero.” Yu Jingjing flashed an adoringly look at Ji Yuan.
Ling Feiyue reminded her, “What Ji Yuan did, is wrong. Don’t give him that look. Give him an angry look instead.”
“Give him a smoldering gaze…” Little Princess suggested.
“Cold intense stare…” Shui Xisi giggled.
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, “You all really think I am deaf, do you…”
Shui Xisi also said, “He thinks he is the only blessed cultivator around but there is actually countless number of equally blessed cultivators around too. One day, he will know the hard truths…”
Little Princess was also saying, “There is one cultivator in our party that keeps taking our luck. Look at our reward for the latest S Trial and you will know…”
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He had told them how he had obtained the second saintly divine sword by cannibalizing all the other artefect profound energies in the trial.
He mutterered silently; sometimes you can’t be too honest with them lest they use it against you….
All of a sudden there was a soft gasp that had come from Feng Minyue and she had accidentally slipped.𝐍𝑂𝑽𝑒𝑳𝑵𝖊xt.𝐂𝒐𝓂
Just as she was reacting to regain her balance, a dark shadow had flashed past and had gripped her strongly in her slender waist; it was Ji Yuan.
Feng Minyue gasped softly when she saw that it was Ji Yuan.
There was a hint of flush on her as she stared blankly at Ji Yuan with her beautiful chiseled face.
“Maiden Feng Minyue, are you alright?” Ji Yuan asked breathlessly.
Feng Minyue quickly regained her sense and said, “Thank you…you can let go of me now.”
Ji Yuan muttered, “Right…” But he was still holding onto her waist.
“How sweet!” Shui Xisi giggled. “But how come you’re still holding onto her?”
“Yeah, why?” The other maidens chorused.
Ji Yuan coolly replied as he looked sentimentally into Feng Minyue’s eyes, “There is something that I need to tell Maiden Feng for the longest time and I’m not letting go until I’ve finished it.”
Feng Minyue: ???
All the other maidens: ???
Ji Yuan sighed softly as he continued to look at Feng Minyue, “I don’t know how many times I’ve screwed up my chances with you but in my heart, I’ve actually wanted to court you and to make you as my consort. I know that in your heart, you are probably despising me as a lecherous man but I am not. The reason why I am telling you is that I keep screwing up no matter how hard I’ve tried to gain your heart that there are nothing but a bad aftertaste.”
Feng Minyue averted her eyes shyly, “You can let go of me now.”
Ji Yuan quietly loosened his grip with a heavy sigh…
This is plain rejection…
The truth hurts…
Feng Minyue quietly said, “What do you mean by you actually want to court me. So in the end, you’ve decided against trying?”
Ji Yuan: ???
“If you don’t try, how do you know you won’t succeed?” Feng Minyue shyly smiled all of a sudden.
Ji Yuan was startled and he gasped aloud.
And so did the other maidens; it is as though they are all about to witness something epic that is about to happen.
“Are you really such a baboon?” Feng Minyue looked at Ji Yuan with bleary eyes. “At that time on the 4th level S Trial, I’ve already fallen in love and have given you my first kiss. What are waiting for? I don’t want you to be a gentleman. I want you to be the Romantic Cultivator Ji Yuan.”
Ji Yuan stammered, “But…you say don’t get you wrong that day…”
Feng Minyue hummed softly, “I’ve never expected you to be so brilliant and get that wrong. Do you expect me to tell you that I love you first instead?”
Ji Yuan was stunned.
He had respected Feng Minyue a lot in his heart and hence, he had killed all his inner demons including Xiang Li’s ranting about the kiss.
Turn out, he was too cautious and was too dumbass.
But it was never too late still.
Ji Yuan had suddenly seized Feng Minyue in his arms and he was kissing her lips, “Maiden Feng, I love you…”
And the two of them were suddenly exchanging passionate kisses with one another…
The hearts of both Ji Yuan and Feng Minyue were now felt with gladness as they sunk into each other embrace; they were all waiting for this moment for the longest time…
All the other maidens were too stunned to react by the sudden event that was happening in front of them that they forgot that they were in the middle of a treacherous huge chain that was as slippery as ice.
Even the strong profound winds that were generating around them could not stop them from staring at the two couple.
Finally Bai Qianfeng was the first to react as she looked at Shui Xisi, “I’m afraid that you are the only leftover in this party.”
Shui Xisi protested immediately, “Who says! Ji Yuan says he is going to marry me, so…”
Ling Feiyue was suddenly smiling, “I’ve thought so that Maiden Feng likes Ji Yuan too but I’ve never expect for them to profess their love in this manner…”
