Chapter 864 The Brutality Reality Of The Spiritas Tower
?
After finding a perfect excuse to reject all the divine consorts, Ji Yuan managed to gather all the 4 divine consorts this very day to talk to them when Divine Consort Dongfang Xin and Sun Dingjun had also visited the tavern.
Xu Yifei was still in close cultivation and hence, Ji Yuan did not have the chance to talk to her yet.
But luckily, he did not or else he would be full of guilt in front of her.
He grinned at Ding Jie'Er, Tang Manni, Dongfang Xin and Sun Dingjun while saying to them at the same time. "After the end of the Spiritas Tower, I will give you all an accounting. But for now, I have to focus for the trials of the Spiritas Tower so that I won't die inside there and won't be able to give all of you any accounting."
His real plan was of course for him to 'die' inside the Spiritas Tower.
Then they would grieve for him and slowly, they would forget about him.
This was a brilliant idea, and he applauded himself for devising such a brilliant plan.
He purposely said, "Therefore the 4 of you must also focus on the Spiritas Tower too. I'll be glad for you if you are able to come out tops against the other 36 divine consorts of the other city-states."
Because he was talking with the divine consorts on the first floor of the tavern, Xiao Muhan, Yu Jingjing, Yang Mi and Chu Lixue were also able to hear him since they were there as well.
Xiao Muhan thought that today Ji Yuan was acting a little weird.
Even Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were wondering what his 'accountings' were since he had been so vague with it.
But there seemed to be a triumphant look in his golden eyes when he had talked about it.
Yang Mi whispered shyly to Yu Jingjing and Chu Lixue who were sitting next to her, "I think Ji Yuan is going to take them all as his consorts after the trial at the spiritas tower has ended. That is why he looks so happy about it."
Yu Jingjing nodded slowly, "I think so as well."
Chu Lixue displayed her divine smile, "Is it even surprising?"
Although she was smiling but she was quite sarcastic in her heart.
Yang Mi giggled softly, "Actually I don't mind at all. Especially when Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er. She looks so friendly and we even have a nice chat together a few days ago too."
"Yes, she is the friendly one. Divine Consort Tang Manni is also quite friendly." Yu Jingjing was forced to admit.
Chu Lixue muttered weakly, "I wish my divine consort is that friendly…"
All 4 of the divine consorts were all looking at Ji Yuan with great delight and Ji Yuan sounded like he had good news for all of them.
They were all looking delightful as they crowded around Ji Yuan.
At this moment Divine Consort Dongfang Xin spoke up, 'This is great news I think for all of us."
She was smiling shyly and was even flushing, "Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan, actually we want to tell you that we can't come to visit you anymore because we have to prepare for the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower."
"That's right." Sun Dingjun was sighing woefully, "Almost the entire populace of the Northern Alliance Theology Olympiad will be watching the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower for the entire month and we have to prepare the best champions that we got to the grand council of the senates."
Tang Manni was also nodding, "My Sister Yifei will soon exit her seclusion to brief you on this. By right, each divine consort is allowed to send 20 champions of their choice to the Great Games of Spiritas Tower. But it can be lesser. I have my 20 champions now but sister does not have. She may look for more…"
As she said that, she had looked in the direction of Yu Jingjing and Yang Mi.
But she was soon smiling, "But if these two maidens are precious to you, it is better that they do not go. Because like you have said, it is a most dangerous undertaking."
Ji Yuan looked a little startled, "A most dangerous undertaking?"
Ding Jie'Er smiled, "Although it is a most dangerous undertaking but the champions that can survive the great undertakings of the Spirit Tower will all be heroes, even if they are celestials. We didn't want to tell you this at the very start because we are afraid that this may be discouraging to Yuan Beluga. But now, we know that Yuan Beluga is going to take part in the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower for our sake. We are so happy…"
Ji Yuan looked a little stunned.
Wait a minute.
This isn't part of my plan to partake in a most dangerous undertaking?
Dongfang Xin was sighing heavily now, "The survival rate in the Spiritas Tower is only 20%..."
Ji Yuan was stunned.
What?! Only 20%?!
What the heck?!
Did he just sign his death warrant or something?
This isn't part of my plan…
Tang Manni looked affectionately at Ji Yuan, "Master Ji Yuan is indeed a true hero. He is willing to partake in the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower to be a hero of our Snowy Pavilion City. If Master Ji Yuan survives this then I can sure my people will not oppose for all of us to be attached to him."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
From wanting to faking my death to a real death sentence?
"Erm… actually…"
"This settles this then!" Sun Dingjun had suddenly interrupted him with a woeful look but also a look of great adulation. "Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan really knows what are in our hearts."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Actually, he wanted to say which pervert planned for the Spiritas Tower to have only a survival rate of 20%?
This rate was even worse than the final trial rates of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth!
Fairy Anyang corrected Ji Yuan, "Actually the Great Valhalla Hall has a much lower rate than 5% and it is a SS Trial. This is also a SS Trial and 20% survival rate is considered to be extremely high."
Sun Dingjun shyly looked at Ji Yuan and she was flustered with a beautiful glowing look, "Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan, I wish you great success in the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower. Even knowing that your golden talisman cannot be used inside the Spiritas Tower, you are still so determined to join this trial. We are truly impressed by your heroism."
Ji Yuan blinked his golden eyes…
Actually, I don't know that my golden talisman cannot be used inside the Spiritas Tower because no one has ever told me…
Ding Jie'Er was now giggling softly to the other 3 divine consorts, "It seems that a heavy weight has been lifted from our hearts now…"
Dongfang Xin nodded thankfully, "We should go now and prepare for the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower."
Then she turned to look up at Ji Yuan, "Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan, please take care of yourself. Don't die please…"
Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "I won't die…"
But he had actually wanted to ask if he could quit the trial of the Spiritas Tower?
And his golden eyes were looking at his senior sister Chu Lixue who appeared to be nonchalantly with the 20% survival rate.
But for Xiao Muhan who was standing next to Maiden Flower Ju, he had broken into a cold sweat.
Maiden Flower Ju asked him softly, "Are you sure that you still want to join in the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower?"
Xiao Muhan said with a thick face, "Of course I am still joining. I am a true man after all. I am just afraid that Ji Yuan dares not join in the Spiritas Tower and I will be there to watch over him."
"But the two of you are likely to be in separate teams," Maiden Flower Ju pointed it out to him.
Xiao Muhan: …
Xiao Muhan: …
Xiao Muhan: …
All of a sudden Xiao Muhan felt his legs growing weak…
And he was protesting weakly in his heart: I am merely a golden saint…
