Bai Qianfeng had told Ji Yuan and the rest that she would be going for a quick closed-door meditation.
Ji Yuan was startled and secretly asked her, "Qianfeng, are you alright? If you are not alright from the earlier battle, please do tell me. After all, I am your lord consort right? And I deserve the right to know if you are in trouble."
He was really anxious for her.
But Bai Qianfeng pulled him close to her bosoms and whispered shyly, "I have plundered so many profound treasures that I need some time to sort them. It isn't because I am in trouble. So don't worry."
Then she kissed him softly on his cheek, "My lord, thank you for your concerns. I will be out soon enough."
Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes and just as he was able to tell Bai Qianfeng that he was responsible for over 200 kills and hence he deserved a share of the loot, she had already vanished.
Right now, he was alone with Zhi Jiugong and Hua Xunzi.
The Queen Succubus Minami had already left to announce to the stunned demonic cultivators from the Dark Phantom Citadel that all of their elders and leaders were now dead. From now onward, she was to rule them on behalf of the Abyssal Null Goddess.
As for Miya and Misa, they had left to serve as protectors for Bai Qianfeng as she entered into her seclusion.
Unknown to the rest except for Ji Yuan, this was not even a seclusion but Bai Qianfeng was actually inside the cultivating chamber to count her newfound wealth.
When Ji Yuan was alone with Zhi Jiugong and Hua Xunzi, Zhi Jiugong said with a divine hum for her voice was ever so heavenly and beautiful to behold. "Until now, I can't believe that we will actually meet my protégé sister here in this place. I was still wondering how it was even possible for us to deal with so many powerful demonic cultivators in this place. As a matter of fact, I don't even think it is possible for us to obtain the true immortal weapon."
Hua Xunzi stared at the scabbard behind Ji Yuan as she slowly heaved a soft sigh, "This immortal weapon is actually an immortal scabbard and it is now in Ji Yuan's hands. This is indeed a most unbelievable thing that can happen. And moreover…"
She lingered for a while before she stared blankly at the two emperor divine swords that were inside the scabbard, "And moreover, he has two emperor-step divine swords now. I don't think there is any cultivator in the entire Celestial Realm that can fight him on an even ground now, saved for the true immortal swords of the immortal cultivators."
Ji Yuan answered awkwardly, "The immortal cultivators don't need a divine sword to kill me or anyone else. Look at the Abyssal Null Goddess and you will know."
To be honest, he had never thought that he would seen this side of the usual docile Bai Qianfeng. It was true that she had admitted to him that she had tried to kill him in the past. But because Ji Yuan could not really feel her killing intents and that he was always lucky to survive her attempts as a lucky occurrence, he had never thought of Bai Qianfeng as a goddess or someone who was trying to kill him.
From Bai Qianfeng, he had actually overcome his purple lightning tribulation and got 10 000 life span of immortality and he even obtained his first celestial-step divine sword from her as well. Also, without her silver coffin, he could never have revived his Sword Saintess Yuluo from her grave as well...
Hua Xunzi and Zhi Jiugong slowly nodded; while Ji Yuan had to use all his profound strength to kill 200 powerful demonic cultivators with the aid of the intense pressure field, Bai Qianfeng just took just a while to send 2000 powerful demonic cultivators to the abyss. If she had not stopped, all the surviving demonic cultivators would also be sent to the abyss too.
Hua Xunzi suddenly said with a soft inhale, "It is no wonder why my mistress chooses to be with you."
"Huh?" Ji Yuan said with a perplexed look.
He knew that Hua Xunzi was Little Princess' subordinate because Little Princess had actually told him after her talks with Hua Xunzi that day.
That was the main reason why he had given her a golden talisman to leave this place.
The beautiful and coyly looking Hua Xunzi looked at him with trembling eyes, "Right now, you must be despising me because you saw what had happened to me on that fateful day…"
She was naturally referring to that fateful day when she was violently ravaged by the big ogre cultivator Baozi Lama.
Ji Yuan shook his head as he grinned, "Is that important?"
Hua Xunzi looked quietly away, "You may have saved me thinking that I may be of some help to you. In the end, I am unable to do anything to help you. Not only did I cause you to lose one precious golden talisman, I am also a burden to you."
Ji Yuan laughed, "With such a lovely maiden such as you in my company, why should I think of you as a burden?"
This was the true. Along the way, he was feasting with his eyes on both Hua Xunzi and Zhi Jiugong.
Hua Xunzi took a look at the noble demeanor of Zhi Jiugong before she averted her woeful glances and she was almost in tears, "Although I am a great saintess but I am nothing but a cheap whore…"
Paaaa!!!!
Ji Yuan had suddenly slapped her face hard and Zhi Jiugong was gasping with shock from the slap.
"Ji Yuan, you…" Zhi Jiugong could not believe her eyes.
Hua Xunzi smiled coldly as she burst into tears, not mindful at all. "Good. Even you think of me as a cheap whore that can be wantonly abuse…"
"No!" Ji Yuan interrupted her firmly before he said unhappily, "I slap you not because you think of yourself as a cheap whore from that one incident but because you have already given up on yourself! Where is your pride in being a great saintess?"
Hua Xunzi laughed coldly as she cried out tearfully and her whole body was trembling, "Do you know my past at all? That isn't the only incident. I've slept with many, many men and I was used by them…"
Ji Yuan interrupted her, "We are not mortals. We are great celestials with a long life. In our long lives, we tend to make many mistakes. Do you really think that I am a hero? I can tell you that before they even call me a hero, I have trampled upon the prides of numerous celestials because they are inferior to me. But do they hate me? Yes. But do I love myself? Yes. So why should I care about their views when I love only myself?"
As he was saying this, he was saying silently to Xiang Li and Anyang: Oh my beautiful beard where are you. Now no one can see my beautiful beard. I do care about their views on my beautiful beard…
Xiang Li, Anyang: …
Hua Xunzi was staring tearfully at Ji Yuan now…
Ji Yuan continued with great righteousness, "My old master said this to me: What is evil, what is good? As long as they are willing to change, we should give them a chance to repent."
Zhi Jiugong had actually heard this and the old freak had said it for his daughter the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue to hear.
Ji Yuan looked at Hua Xunzi with a heartfelt smile, "Maybe if you don't do that, you may have already died several times over. You should be grateful that you are still alive and is still able to turn over a new leaf."
Hua Xunzi gasped softly as she looked at Ji Yuan and her hot tears were flowing, "Ji Yuan…"
She had never met a man like Ji Yuan before.
Ji Yuan sighed softly, "Everyone will have their own sad past. I have mine too. Take for example, that time when I was kidnapped by the Evil Cultivation Palace and was forced to copulate with 3000 maidens…"
"There isn't so many maidens in the Evil Cultivation Palace." Hua Xunzi had suddenly said as she interrupted him slowly and doubts had appeared in her golden eyes.
"Haha… I mean 3000 times. It is a slip of a tongue." Ji Yuan laughed most awkwardly; actually he was just being forced to copulate 3000 times with Little Princess…
All of a sudden there were earth shaking profound shouts from the outside of their room and the entire Dark Phantom Citadel was shaking violently!
It was the powerful profound shout of a 9th rank immortal and he was shouting divinely, "Who has dared to kill my demonic cultivators, my protégés and grand protégés? Come out now and fight me!"
His profound shouts carried a profound shockwave that could immediately injured the lower cultivation realm cultivators.
Ji Yuan was startled, "Immortal cultivators?! And there are 3 of them?
His divine sense had picked up 3 immortal cultivators in the heavens outside.
Zhi Jiugong and Hua Xunzi were also startled for they had also picked up the profound animus of 3 immortal cultivators!
Two were 8th realm immortal and there was even a 9th realm immortal too!
