Chapter 439 Choosing The Passages (1)
Ji Yuan and his party continued along the golden hallway.
“So what rewards did you obtain earlier?”
Ji Yuan was asking them about their rewards as he walked with Mo Bei.
“Well, it seems that the rewards of the seventh level trial isn’t that impressive compared to my sword art. Maybe except for that fifth rank cultivation pill that Little Princess had just obtained.
Little Princes smiled wryly, “This profound pill is really good. It is able to treat even the most grievous injuries of the cultivator and even preserve their cultivation core intact.”
Shui Xisi nodded, “The name of your profound pill is the Wondrous Bliss Elixir. It is indeed very useful and has many uses. For example, it can also be used when a cultivator is overcoming his cultivation tribulations.”
Ji Yuan nodded as he turned to Feng Minyue. “Maiden Feng, this is the last trial already, am I right?”
Feng Minyue nodded. “Yes, this is the last trial already before we can reach the artefact core of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. Once we can clear it, we will receive a mark as well as a reward for overcoming the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.”
The reason why Ji Yuan had asked Feng Minyue was because she had already overcome the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth several times in the past; she was the most experienced cultivator in the group.
Yun Chi suddenly said, “I’ve an uneasy feeling over this…”
“Same here.” Bai Qianfeng said all of a sudden and she was looking at her surroundings keenly. “But I can’t place a finger.”
Ji Yuan laughed, “There is no need to be nervous. I am not nervous.”
Mo Bei suddenly lifted his finger, “Look. There are two passages in front of us. So which one should we take?”
Feng Minyue looked a little startled, “There are two passage ways?”
“What is wrong with that?” Ling Feiyue asked curiously.
Feng Minyue blinked her eyes as she answered, “The last two trials of the seventh level are straightforward. There is only one option all the time, never two choices.”
Yu Jingjing looked a little afraid, “But there are two options now. So which of the passage should we take?”
Ji Yuan began to rub his chin as he pondered, “That is indeed the most interesting question. So which of the two passages should we take?”
All of a sudden he was frozen on the spot when he noticed that everyone was looking at him. This naturally included Mo Bei.
He rolled his eyes before asking, “Why are the whole lot of you looking at me as though as if I know which of the two passages to take?”
Ling Feiyue chuckled gently as she shot Ji Yuan a playful wink, “You are our leader so naturally you should choose help us to decide which route we should take.”
Ji Yuan: …
“What if I am wrong?” He muttered weakly.
“Then you will be the one taking responsibility for our mishaps.” Ling Feiyue winked at him.
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He inhaled slowly before he turned to Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng, “Yun Chi, Qianfeng. What is wrong?”
Bai Qianfeng was startled; she did not think that Ji Yuan would suddenly ask her a question.
Yun Chi was also somewhat startled but before she could reply to Ji Yuan, he had added. “Didn’t you say that you have an uneasy feeling earlier? I didn’t forget. Haha.”
Yun Chi sighed softly; she did not think that Ji Yuan would be paying them any scant attention especially when he had just rubbed off their comments earlier.
Bai Qianfeng displayed a shy countenance as she saw that Ji Yuan was looking at her intently before saying, “It is as though there is someone who is observing us. But I really can’t place a finger.”
Ji Yuan nodded before laughing, “Well, I believe in my Qianfeng.”
“You do?” Bai Qianfeng returned a curious look at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan nodded and said, “So let’s us all wait here to decide which of the two passages to take.”
Mo Bei was startled, “You are not going to pick a passage to go? Why are we waiting here for?”
Ji Yuan replied coolly, “We are not just going to wait here but we are also going to meditate here.”
Mo Bei: …
Mo Bei: …
Mo Bei: …
“Junior, we have an advantage by being the first. Don’t throw away our advantage so hastily.”
Ling Feiyue smiled, “Senior, why don’t we do as Ji Yuan has suggested? Even if my Sister Qianxue is here, she will also do as Ji Yuan has suggested.”
Mo Bei grumbled, “I don’t understand. He looked completely clueless so why should we follow his suggestion?”
Ji Yuan laughed as he admitted, “Senior, you’re so brilliant. I am indeed completely clueless on which of the two passages should we take.”
Mo Bei: …
Mo Bei: …
Mo Bei: …
Mo Bei turned to the rest of the maidens to ask, “Are you all going to do as he just suggested? He just admitted that he is completely clueless.”
Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng, Yun Chi, Feng Minyue and Yu Jingjing were all nodding at the same time and echoed, “We will listen to Ji Yuan.”
Mo Bei was startled but he noticed that Shui Xisi did not say anything so he asked her, “It seems that among all the maidens, you are the most sensible one. I am glad that you are on my side on this. It is just plain foolhardy to lose our advantage-“
“I agree with Ji Yuan.” Shui Xisi laughed jovially. “I was just thinking what fun things are happening in Ji Yuan’s little brain.”
Mo Bei: …
Mo Bei: …
Mo Bei: …
“Wait a minute!” Ji Yuan called out to Shui Xisi all of a sudden. “Who are you suggesting that has a little brain?”
Shui Xisi laughed, “I am not suggesting. This is a fact. If you’re not happy about this, why don’t we have a little fight in that corridor over there? Or are you afraid?”
Ji Yuan pretended to be angry as he shouted, “Who is afraid of who? C’mon, let’s take our fight away from the rest and I will settle my score with you!”
Just as Ji Yuan was about to sprint off, Little Princess stopped in front of him and said coolly. “Stop it. We all know your little tricks already. The two of you are just going off to your love escapades, am I right? Have you forgotten that you have already used this trick a little too many times?”
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “Haha…”𝑵𝒐𝑣ℯ𝓵𝓷𝞮xt.𝔠𝒐𝓂
Shui Xisi averted her eyes, “Hmph! I’m really upset with him!”
Ling Feiyue rolled her eyes as she heaved a soft sigh of resignation, “The two of you are really hopeless.”
Although she was complaining but there was nothing much she could do against Shui Xisi for she was the Matriarch of the Water Melody Palace; she was a top great saintess cultivator above her league to stop and also her senior. She had not expected that the Matriarch of the Water Melody Palace to have such a personality and that she would have fallen so much in love with Ji Yuan. And moreover, she is also Jiajia’s sister.
Bai Qianfeng, Little Princess, Feng Minyue and Yu Jingjing were all flushing shyly when they recalled Ji Yuan’s light touches on their bodies…
Yun Chi muttered, “Ji Yuan deserved to be castrated…”
