The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 542 Bliss City Arena Final Trial (12)

20 hours had passed in the trial now.

The Lovely Empress was now cursing her bad luck for separating with her sister and also her bad luck to meet the old freak in the trial.

The outer area of the third arena trial was so vast that all the cultivators were separated by many miles inside the Forbidden City of Death. Not only was this broken-down city a maze of towering stone blocks, there were also many desolate monsters that prowled within the city.

She had no idea how many of the 358 cultivators were able to survive this final trial of the arena.

But her past experiences had taught her that they would either be slaughtering each other, betraying each other or would be forming into groups to fight the stronger cultivators, everything for the +9 Points to gain themselves the extra 5 million high grade spirit stones or 10 million high grade spirit stones in total. They could even get more rewards if they were to kill a Hunter.

To many of the cultivators, these high grade spirit stones were not a small figure, especially to a poor cultivator like Ji Yuan.

At the thought of Ji Yuan, she began to sigh melancholy. At first, she had entered the arena trial to kill this insolent Ji Yuan. One look at him, she could tell that he was no different from a typical arrogant young master. The only difference between them was that he was dirt poor.

Well, add one more difference, she had told herself.

This Ji Yuan actually has no airs because he is dirt poor, unlike the arrogant young masters.

And this was the difference that break down any barriers that they had and Ji Yuan was also someone that randomly offended people with his reckless mouth for no apparent reasons.

At this thought, the Lovely Empress was immediately cursing Ji Yuan softly. "This Ji Yuan, he has no logical action to speak of..."

All of a sudden, she had paused in her cursing for she had suddenly seen Ji Yuan and the Smiling Divine Maiden in the jagged horizon.

Ji Yuan chuckled when he had finally found her, "We are looking everywhere for you and almost died in order to search for you. But the first thing that I've heard from you is your curse against me."

"Did we almost die?" The Smiling Divine Maiden was saying unhappily as she looked at Ji Yuan with her captivating smiling eyes, "I am actually a good guide."

But she quickly returned a faint smile to the Lovely Empress for she was so glad to see her again.

The Lovely Empress had immediately flown to embrace Ji Yuan, startling him as well as the Smiling Divine Maiden.

The Lovely Empress was now exclaiming jovially as she embraced Ji Yuan tightly, "So you little rascal, you didn't die yet?"

When she saw Ji Yuan, there was actually shimmering tears in her eyes...

Ji Yuan was stunned when she had suddenly flown to him and had embraced him, "Uh... I have actually almost died, haha."

Although he did not want to admit it but he was quite emotional when he finally managed to find her again as he thought that it was so good to know that she was safe...

Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue did not believe her eyes; did her sister just embrace a man?!

All of a sudden the Lovely Empress had also realized what she had just done and she had quickly let go of Ji Yuan. In her great delight to see Ji Yuan again, she had forgotten that they were technically 'enemies' and that Ji Yuan fate was to die in this arena trial.

Ji Yuan laughed awkwardly as he said, "Now that we have met, we should form a group to reach the safe area, am I right?"

The Lovely Empress nodded shyly before she turned to embrace the Smiling Divine Maiden coyly, "Alas, sister, I had killed the Hunter South King and got +9 Points by accident. I didn't want to kill him but he is really too much."

The Smiling Divine Maiden smiled faintly, "It is alright. I had also killed the Hunter East King too and I have got +10 Points. He is really too much too. It seems that the Dragon Faction is just venting against us. Even that Gu Bugu is here in this trial now. I am so glad that I have found you before he does."

Ji Yuan had a most ugly look as he muttered, "And I have +4 Points only..."

But the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Maiden were both ignoring Ji Yuan as they continued to talk excitingly to each other.

Ji Yuan had suddenly felt so lonely because no one was talking to him now...

The Lovely Empress was nodding lovingly as she said coyly, "I am so glad to have found you too sister."

When she had said that, the Smiling Divine Maiden began to smile faintly as she took a subtle look at Ji Yuan, "Really? I miss you too sister."

But she could tell that the Lovely Empress was missing Ji Yuan more than her.

She quickly said with a sense of urgency, "I am afraid that Gu Bugu is trying to use the dark powers of Dark Sol Dragon for himself. He is already so strong and when he has the dark powers of Dark Sol Dragon, I am afraid that no one in this trial will be able to stop him. Therefore, we must quickly reach the safe area ahead of him..."

"Well..." Ji Yuan could not resist interrupting when he had overheard them. "If I were him, I will just camp at the safe area and wait for the two of you to come."

The Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Maiden were both blinking their eyes as they looked at Ji Yuan; they did not actually think of this before.

Ji Yuan pointed out with a loud chuckle, "The safest place isn't always the safest place."

"He is right." An old voice had suddenly croaked.

Ji Yuan, the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress were startled and they quickly turned to see a short old man emerging from the shadows of the gigantic jagged stone blocks.

Immediately both the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress had turned pale when they saw this short old man. It was as though they were saying silently together: Old freak!

The Lovely Empress stammered out, "Sugar Daddy... is also here..."

Ji Yuan was startled, "What?! You call him your Sugar Daddy?! Are you his god-daughter?!"

The Lovely Empress turned to Ji Yuan with a perplexed look, "I am sort of his god-daughter. What is wrong?"

But she did not get an answer from Ji Yuan for he had already flashed to the old short man with rage in his golden eyes.

The Smiling Divine Maiden was shocked as she panicky shouted, "Ji Yuan, don't! Come back immediately! This old freak isn't someone for you to lift your fingers! You will surely die if you fight with him..."

To her astonishment and to the great astonishment of the Lovely Empress, Ji Yuan was now punching the face of the short old man and he was even pulling the short old man to kick him hard.

The short old man was also not going to let Ji Yuan punch and kick him for free so he was also punching Ji Yuan hard as well.

But the problem was, they were both using only their profound animus to the fifth cultivation realm. While it was extremely painful to the non-golden celestials, it could not kill a great saint even if they were punching each other hard for a full day.

Ji Yuan was shouting to the short old man, "Old man! How dare you! Do you know that you have just provoked your Grand Daddy Ji Yuan? How dare you call yourself her Sugar Daddy?! Darn you!"

The Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress were completely stunned that Ji Yuan was beating up the old freak...

What was going on here?

The short old man was also shouting and punching Ji Yuan hard, "You little rascal! You dare to punch your old man. Today I am going to teach you a little respect or I am not your old man anymore! Besides, she isn't from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. How will she even know what Sugar Daddy means?"

When Ji Yuan had heard him, he had begun to weaken his punches. "Um... you are right. As long as I don't tell her and you don't tell her what it means. Haha..."

All of a sudden, the short old man had pushed Ji Yuan aside and he had turned to stare coldly at the Smiling Divine Maiden. "Ji Yuan, I want you to go to one side first."

The Lovely Empress was suddenly pulling the Smiling Divine Maiden as she said panicky, "Sister, we should run now in opposite directions..."

The Smiling Divine Maiden cleaned her robe first before arranging her short skirt as she kneeled humbly in front of the short old man.

This shocked both Ji Yuan and the Lovely Empress who did not know whether this was a delaying tactic or should she run now?

The short old man was now saying to the Smiling Divine Maiden, "I have said before. If I find you the next time, I will surely kill you. I had spared you the last time because there was another opponent behind you."

The Smiling Divine Maiden nodded lightly and even her faint smiles had disappeared completely, "And I have also said before, I will not resist you and you are free to kill me if I am caught in your hands."

Ji Yuan was shocked and he was shouting to his old master, "Old man, what are you saying?! You want to kill her? Sure she may be evil but I won't allow you to kill her today!"

The short old man had suddenly kicked Ji Yuan very hard away and had displayed his peaked great saint profound aura.

This shocked Ji Yuan who had always thought that his old master was only a sixth realm cultivator, "Old man, you are actually a great saint?"

He gulped before continuing, "Uh, and also a peaked great saint too?!"

The short old man said coldly, "Ji Yuan, do you know that she is your senior protégé sister? She is not only your senior protégé sister but she is also my unfillial daughter! Do you still think that I shouldn't have the right to kill this traitor?"

Ji Yuan was shocked, "I have a senior protégé sister?! And you're her father? This peerless beauty here is actually my... erm... from the same protégé clan as me?"

It was no wonder that he had found her moves to be very similar to his own.

The Lovely Empress was also shocked as she stared at the Smiling Divine Maiden, "The old freak is your father?!"

Then she looked at Ji Yuan, "Sister and you are protégés of this old freak?!"

The Smiling Divine Maiden answered nonchalantly but firmly, as she kneeled down defenselessly without a hint of displaying her profound animus, "He is not my father!"
