The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 286 Reflections Of The Heart (2)

Yu Jingjing was quietly walking along the corridor now.

She had a look of hesitation in her eyes, "It is already so late now. I wonder if Ji Yuan is still awake or he is actually cultivating right now. It must be an exhausting day for him."

But when she had thought of the love song that Ji Yuan had dedicated to her, she immediately mustered her courage again.

"If he is not interested in me then why did he give me a divine sword? This is an earth-step divine sword and not just a broken half-step mortal divine sword. Surely he doesn't need to do this because I have clearly stepped on his foot a few times and yet he is being so gracious to me…"

"It must be it. He truly admires me. But how do I say no to him? Maybe I should not say no to him first or it will seem to be too rude. We can start off as a friend first. That's right. We can be friends first."

When she had thought of this, she mustered more courage in her steps.

"But what excuse should I use to knock on his door at this hour? What if I am seen by the others?"

"He has given me a divine sword and I haven't thanked him yet. That's right. I should offer my sincere thanks to him. This is only proper. At the same time, we can also clear up our misunderstandings."

"But if he invites me into his room and even if we are seen by the others, I shouldn't reject him because he isn't a bad person. While rumors may be vicious but as long as our conscious are clear, we should not let unfounded rumors affect our friendship."

She was smiling delightfully as she mustered more courage in her steps.

But of course if the cultivator was not as handsome as Ji Yuan, it would be a different story. Good looks were more important than real talents in her eyes when it comes to entering a stranger's room.

90% of the maidens will not say no if the man that they are interested in were to suddenly invite them into his room.

And Yu Jingjing was not an exception.

And she would look for any excuse to convince herself otherwise.

If it was an ugly cultivator, she would use another set of excuses not to enter his room but in the first place she would never even considered approaching his room at all and not even take any steps in that direction.

"Of course I won't because I am a noble maiden from a reputable celestial clan. It will be bad for the repute of my celestial clan and the chastity of my name if I were to enter an unknown man's room."

"But of course Ji Yuan isn't an unknown man. He is a friend so that is alright." She pointed it out to herself as she smiled delightfully at the thought that she may be entering Ji Yuan's room.

"Surely he isn't a lecherous cultivator and is a gentleman. I will be safe when I'm in his company. Moreover he is such a romantic cultivator…"

She had totally convinced herself all the good that was in Ji Yuan and why he was given an exception by her.

Actually Yu Jingjing has a lofty status in the Endless Celestial Fraternity where she hailed from; she is the Holy Oracle Priestess of the Holy Oracle Sect, one of the major celestial clans in her fraternity.

That was not all of it. The Holy Oracle Sect actually collects information about the various celestial fraternities and that is why she has known about the other major figures of the other celestial fraternities.

She really did not lie about her background.

The very reason why she did not know about Ji Yuan is because her celestial information can be quite outdated by 5-10 years.

Although Ji Yuan is renowned in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity but he was not a saint 5-10 years ago.

And the Holy Oracle Sect only keeps record of the saintly cultivators.

Therefore she really did not know who Ji Yuan is.

That was why Ji Yuan had thought that she was a fraudster and was in conspiracy with the other cultivators from the other fraternity.

She actually did not know anyone else in this trial.

As she walked along the corridor, a bearded cultivator was suddenly smiling to her.

She did not know him but she had recognized that he was from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, the same celestial fraternity as Ji Yuan.

This bearded cultivator smiled, "Maiden Yu, I've a letter for you from Saint Ji Yuan. Will you be so kind enough to follow me to my room to retrieve it?"

Yu Jingjing was startled, "Um, a letter from Ji Yuan? Why did he have to write a letter for me? Why doesn't he ask me directly?"

The bearded cultivator laughed, "He says he is a little shy. However I do not know the details of the letter."

Yu Jingjing was thinking: Does he not know that I am already going to look for him? Does he need to be so shy?

But she replied cautiously, "Why don't you just pass the letter to me? Why must I go to your room?"

The bearded cultivator smiled gently, "Our rooms are our personalized places in this trial. No matter how powerful a cultivator is, they cannot force themselves into our room to disturb us. Therefore I've placed the letter inside my room. That is naturally the most secured place. If I were to lose the letter, I will be letting down Great Hero Ji Yuan…alas!"

Yu Jingjing nodded with a shy smile. "This makes sense. I will follow you to your room."

"How do I address you?"

The bearded cultivator laughed softly as he stroked his beard, "I'm Saint Mo Hai, from the same sect as Senior Mo Bei."

As he turned around, he was secretly smiling; it was because that was obviously a lie. He was actually Chen Hai from the Evil Cultivation Palace.

He had actually recognized Ji Yuan on the first day and he had a mission to kill Ji Yuan.

And when he saw that Ji Yuan was in trouble with the cultivators from the Fire Faction, he was there to fan the flames.

But unfortunately, it seemed that Ji Yuan was able to get off the hook with his stunning musical play.

Therefore he had hatched a new plot; if he could not kill Ji Yuan directly then he will hurt the ones that are closest to him or at least make use of them to exploit for a vulnerability to kill Ji Yuan.

Naturally Yu Jingjing was his target because she looked extremely naïve and moreover, she was also stunning beautiful.

Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue were actually both his targets.

But he had decided to set his sight of Yu Jingjing first because he knew that she had lost all her cultivation resources and may not be in her top form.

In a fight, profound strength is not everything but the mental state of the exponents will also play a huge part.

Yu Jingjing may be feeling down and she may not be able to display her form to the fullest.

Chen Hai wanted to be sure because he knew he was dealing with a saintess. In a fight between two saints, it is not so straightforward.

However he hid a more nefarious plot of course.

He actually did not want to kill her, at least not yet.

It was because he was a dual cultivator and he practiced the evil dual cultivation art.

Therefore he naturally wanted to dual with Yu Jingjing.

And he was an experienced elder of the Evil Cultivation Palace who was versed in all kinds of trickery and charms. Once Yu Jingjing is in his room, he will use his 36 art of seduction tricks to seduce her.

But if it all fail to work then he will use his ultimate trick that is superior to these 36 tricks; the 'The Ultimate Gatecrash'.

'The Ultimate Gatecrash' will work even against the most haughty and lofty maiden, even if she is a great saintess.

In his room he had already planted plenty of flush, flush stuff to catch Yu Jingjing's eyes and to cause her thoughts to go amok with lust. To complement all these, he had plenty of secret mechanism that he had already planted to trigger her lusts, naturally.

In this field, he was naturally the expert or else he would not be a saint of the Evil Cultivation Palace.

He was already dreaming of taking her body already and forcing her to engage in all kinds of depravity with her.

And then he would take her as his dual cultivation partner.

But his plans would not end there.

Maybe he would even be the new master of the Endless Celestial Fraternity together with her!

Such a perfect maiden and one that was so naïve in thoughts.

No one would come to her rescue because he knew that Ji Yuan and his group were all too busy this night…

And as elder of the Evil Cultivation Palace, he naturally knew who were the ones from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity that would want to kill Ji Yuan and he already had a helper from one of the orthodox celestial clans from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity to alert him.

But this was totally unnecessary because even an immortal cultivator would not be able to gatecrash into his room unless he willed his permission.

In his room, he is naturally the king and he can do whatever he wants with her.

Even Yu Jingjing will not be able to escape from his hands once she is inside.

He was soon smiling to Yu Jingjing as he pointed at a shimming portal. "We are here. Welcome to my humble abode."

Yu Jingjing was smiling innocently, "I wonder what Ji Yuan wants to say to me in the letter."

"You will soon know." Chen Hai smiled wryly.

Yu Jingjing nodded as she stepped into the shimming portal and she was followed by Chen Hai.

As they entered through the shimmering portal, the portal disappeared entirely because Chen Hai had willed that he was not to be disturbed by anyone.

He had fully made use of the nature of this trial to freely do whatever he wanted.

He was naturally a brilliant and a genius saint cultivator.

Or else he would have wasted nearly a thousand of his years to cultivate in the harsh reality of the cultivation fraternity.

By his standard even Ji Yuan was too young and too simple even though he had become a saint.

Because Ji Yuan was simply too poor and he had come from a remote region of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.

For someone like Ji Yuan that lacked worldly experiences and the finery life of the cultivation fraternity, he was like a joke in Chen Hai's experienced and worldly eyes.

He will bang this Yu Jingjing first and then Feng Minyue will naturally be his next target!

He was laughing silently now because he was naturally a winner unlike Ji Yuan who had been a loser for most of his life.

But there was something that concerned him; he had spotted Little Princess in the trial and he knew that Little Princess and Ji Yuan belonged to the same party.

Although Little Princess was wearing a veil but she could not hide her bewitching aura that was all too familiar to him. And she was really sexy even with her clothing on.

Although they had pretended not to know each other but this information was known to him.

He was smiling again: maybe I can use of Ji Yuan to crush Little Princess' will…

When Yu Jingjing had entered through the portal and into Chen Hai's room, she could sniff a strong scent inside and there were many flasks of oil.

Chen Hai merely smiled. "I'm an alchemist so there are many flasks of aromatic oils in here. If maiden wants one, I can offer it as a gift to you."

Yu Jingjing was feeling a little dizzy now as the fragrance oils were really too overwhelming and this was not lost on Chen Hai.

His depravity plan was now beginning to work!

Nothing was easier than targeting a lone maiden from a little known celestial fraternity!

Because after this trial has ended, no one will care; it is because it is the norm for cultivators to perish in the Warrior Empyrean Labyrinth. There are no questions asked.

Yu Jingjing asked quietly. "So where is the letter from Ji Yuan?"

Chen Hai smiled as he reached into a black box to retrieve something; there is actually no letter from Ji Yuan inside. Rather, it contains an envelope that is laced with deadly amorous powders.

Once Yu Jingjing has opened the envelope, a powdery explosion will occur and she will become victim to him.

At the same time Chen Hai has already prepared his deadly lustful darts to attack her three accupoints points that will cause her to be overwhelmed with lust.

While his amorous powder is deadly but his victim is after all, a saintess. Therefore he had prepared several sets of fail-safe stratagems.

After all, Chen Hai is really an experienced dual cultivator.

He could already imagine sinking his deadly claws into Yu Jingjing's soft and sensual body…

All of a sudden Yu Jingjing had turned around to say, "You're a cultivator from the Evil Cultivation Palace, am I right? And you are also a high level cultivator too."

Chen Hai was startled and before he could explain, a divine sword from Yu Jingjing had suddenly flashed at his heart!

While he was doubly startled that she had a divine sword, he was always prepared for a surprise attack. After all, he is not a saint in vain or else he will not be still alive to this day.

Therefore he had reached out to catch the divine sword with his iron fingers.

Unarmed combat is usually faster than a weapon in reaction time and that is why many of the power cultivators prefer to attack with their palm, finger and fist profound skills.

Moreover his divine sense could sense that Yu Jingjing was focusing all her profound power into her sword.

After he had stopped her, she would be defenseless.

But to his utter surprise, Yu Jingjing's sword thrust to his heart had suddenly turned into her left finger and her divine sword was suddenly pointing downward at his loin.

It was so sudden and unbelievable when Chen Hai's loin was pierced by Yu Jingjing.

Before he could even react in pain, Yu Jingjing's left finger had suddenly switched to a powerful palm that struck him violently on his chest as he was sent flying backward.

He simply could not believe what was happening!

But even as he struggled weakly to get up and to fight back since a saint is not easily killed, Yu Jingjing had already flashed next to him with a cold smile. "You're dead."

She had brutally slashed his loin multiple times.

Words were not enough to describe Chen Hai's great pain in his tenderloin; it was the most horrifying and brutal attack, even despicable attack at which Chen Hai was in so much pain that he could not even muster his profound strength to do any meaningful resistance.

In fact, he was suddenly reduced to a lowly cultivator as he was sliced painfully to his death by Yu Jingjing.

Yu Jingjing hummed coldly, "I forget to tell you that my celestial sect has an internal profound art that can resist your despicable tricks."

Over the thousands of years, men had evolved in their deprave acts and women had also evolved in their counter-measures.

"Also, while I can't use my Shadow Lotus Sword in the battle arena but it is just right to use it on you."

Her Shadow Lotus Sword was a sword art that fooled the opponent into thinking that her profound power was directly through her sword before switching suddenly with her non-sword arm in the form of her fingers as her sword finger.

In that split second, her sword attack would strike the man's most vulnerable part, rendering him completely defenseless after a most painful thrust that scattered his profound strength.

It was a most despicable attack on a man's most vulnerable part and that was why Yu Jingjing could not use such a sword art during the battle arena in front of the others.

Also, this is her celestial sect most secret sword art and she can only use it as a secret sword technique.

Yu Jingjing hummed coldly, "You may think that I am a naïve maiden, am I right but you're also a most naïve man to think that I am a weak and vulnerable maiden. You have forgotten that I'm a saintess with plenty of worldly experiences."

She had already known that Chen Hai was from the Evil Cultivation Palace and had followed him to his room so as to kill such a despicable man.

After killing Chen Hai, Yu Jingjing secretly looted Chen Hai of all his possessions before smiling delightfully as she exited his room; this Chen Hai is really a rich cultivator.

Even though Chen Hai could ensure that Yu Jingjing was not able to exit his room but that was only if he was still alive. A dead man cannot stop Yu Jingjing from leaving, however.

As Yu Jingjing hopped delightfully on her way to Ji Yuan's room, she was suddenly dismayed to see a long queue had already formed in front of Ji Yuan's room as both men and women were all trying to talk to him.

She totally had not a chance to even enter his room tonight…

All of a sudden she felt like crying out loud.

"Hey, queue up please!"

"What do you mean you know Ji Yuan? I know him as well…"

"Please queue just like everyone else…"

"Ji Yuan is my friend! Not yours!"
