The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1139 Xue Qianxue's Hideout

Five Heavens Peak.

Ji Yuan followed Xue Qianxue, Xu Yifei and the other maidens back to their hideout that was below the desolate mists of the Five Heavens Peaks.

Ji Yuan was finally united with all his maidens again except for Yun Chi, Smiling Divine Maiden and Zhi Jiugong and Feng Minyue who were still missing.

But Shui Xisi had secretly whispered to Ji Yuan that the Smiling Divine Maiden, Zhi Jiugong and Feng Minyue were actually with Yun Chi. So there was no need to worry for them first and she would be joining them later. 

The reason why Yun Chi did not join them was because she was still assuming the identity of the Death God Mingwang and she had departed after the peace treaty had been signed.

Ji Yuan was quite relieved when he had heard about this. 

The temporary hideout was a series of caves below the desolate mists that Xue Qianxue and the others had found. 

Inside this hideout, there were several hundreds of cultivators. 

As soon as Ji Yuan had arrived with Xue Qianxue and the others, there were many other cultivators that were eager to know the battle result. 

"Ji Yuan, it is really you?" A beautiful maiden had suddenly appeared and she was Fairy Qiu Xiuyu; she was several months pregnant and she had stayed at the hideout. 

Ji Yuan was astonished, "Xiuyu, you are also here?"

Fairy Qiu Xiuyu was Ji Yuan's mistress when he had gone to the mortal realm for his trial. 

Ji Yuan immediately took Fairy Qiu Xiuyu to his arms and gasped with delight, "I didn't think that I can get to see you in this place. Good. This is good. We have finally reunited again."

Fairy Qiu Xiuyu was in tears, "Ji Yuan, I have finally got to see you again." 

Ji Yuan said quietly to her, "Don't cry. I take you to see Li Ye, your master if I see him again."

Fairy Qiu Xiuyu nodded as she rested her head on Ji Yuan's chest.

Xue Qianxue chuckled softly, "When we found Sister Xiuyu, we didn't really believe that she knows you and thinks that she is a spy. But Jiajia believes in her…"

All of a sudden, she had stopped halfway because she had suddenly realized that she should not have mentioned Jiajia at all.

But Ji Yuan said, "It is alright."

Fairy Qiu Xiuyu had suddenly taken out a golden battle garb and placed it on Ji Yuan, "I am safe now. Please take back your robe. This will be more useful to you."

Ji Yuan said, "This is my gift for you…"

But Fairy Qiu Xiuyu smiled to say, "You have already given me 2 heaven-step divine swords and helped me to ascend to the Celestial Realm as a golden celestial. What more do I want?"

Slowly she wrapped the golden robe over Ji Yuan's shabby robe.

The Lovely Empress could not resist a murmur, "I can't believe that he fights in such an inferior robe that has a poor profound defense for such a long time."

Shui Xisi was also frowning, "I can't believe either."

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "I do have a mystic toga when I was at the…"

All of a sudden, he could not say a word. 

He had actually wanted to say that he had a mystic toga when he was at the Spirit Divine Realm but it was destroyed during his fierce trial while he was taking a trial in the Spiritas Tower. 

However, he was unable to say anything because the mystic laws of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth had prevented him for mentioning anything about his trials inside.

So he muttered weakly, "I have this half-mortal step robe for the past 200 years, you know. Together we have been through thin and thick."

When he had said that, many of the maidens were looking at him in an awkward manner. 

It was because Ji Yuan's robe was not even a full mortal-step robe and it was no better than a junior protégé's robe in some of the maidens' cultivation sects.

Even Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan were looking quite awkward as they know their old master was quite poor and he had to use all his spirit stones to support so many protégés. 

Xue Qianxue quickly sent the returning cultivators to rest or to work on the repairs of the profound ships.

Then it was Ji Yuan and all his maidens in a cave together.

Xue Qianxue then briefed Ji Yuan and the returning maidens on all the updates that had happened in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity while they were away.

Ling Feiyue was astonished, "The Desolate Dragon God Longdi is dead?!"

Among the returning celestials, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu had gasped with the loudest shock. 

It was because she belonged to the Death Faction inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and her Death Faction had a bitter rivalry with the Dragon Faction of the Desolate Dragon God Longdi.

She muttered, "My mistress will be overjoyed for sure when she has heard of this news…"

Xue Qianxue smiled to Ji Yuan, "Who is this beautiful maiden? Ji Yuan, you have forgotten to introduce her to us."

Ji Yuan replied softly, "This is Maiden Lu Jiangsu and her celestial title is the Lovely Empress. She is actually from the Nine Celestial Fraternity. She is someone that I've picked up along while inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth."

The Lovely Empress: …

"What do you mean by pick up along in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth? Do you really think that I want to follow you? Stop pasting gold on your face…"

Then she turned to smile with great loveliness to the other maidens, "This Ji Yuan owes me 500 million spirit stones. I am not leaving until he pays me back."

Ji Yuan: …

All of a sudden Ji Yuan gave a loud yell, startling Shui Qingqing, Ling Tianshui, Saintess Yuluo, Hua Wuwu, Hua Baiyue and the rest of the maidens.

"Wait for me here…"

He quickly called for Xiang Li and Anyang to bring him inside the Great Oracle Gate. 

When he was inside, he quickly activated the heart link necklace that the Cardinal Priestess Xuan Qiaoqiao had given him to communicate with Little Jie'Er and Tang Manni. He then informed them that they could come out now. 

The reason why he had used the heart link necklace was because he did not want to spend a few days wandering inside the Great Oracle Gate in search of the Delphi Palace. 

Once he was there, he had also quickly found Mu Wan'Er.

Soon, Ji Yuan had brought Little Jie'Er, Tang Manni and Mu Wan'Er to the presence of the maidens that were in the cave.

Xu Yifei was astonished and so were Tang Manni as the two sisters wept and embraced each other, unable to express their happiness of seeing each other again.

Tang Manni was truly astonished, "Sister Yifei, how come you are here?"

Xu Yifei quietly said, "This is a long story. I'll tell you later."

JI Yuan then introduced Mu Wan'Er, Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er to everyone. 

Once everyone was introduced, Xue Qianxue began to update Ji Yuan again.

When Xue Qianxue told Ji Yuan about the part about the poor fate of the cultivators at the Pentecost Mountains where the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect is located, Ji Yuan was boiling mad. 

He got up and said coldly, "Lend me a profound ship immediately. I will go there immediately. 

Xue Qianxue was startled, "Ji Yuan, you have not recovered from your injuries yet…"

Ji Yuan smiled to her, "I am alright. I am going to avenge for Jiajia and her celestial sect. So let me go."

Hua Wuwu was bleary eyed as she immediately said, "Ji Yuan, take me with you!"

Hua Baiyue was also saying, "Our mistress' profound ship is the fastest. I will guide you to the Pentecost Mountains!" 

Ji Yuan nodded, "Let's go then!"
