Chapter 652 Room 2
When Ji Yuan had entered through the portal to Room 2, he was looking ashen and was even staggering.
This shocked Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu; they were startled and the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu was gasping softly. "What happens to you?"
On the other hand, Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing and Old Reverend Beiyuan were returning Ji Yuan a growled look as though they were asking him what had happened to him in their minds.
Ji Yuan saw that they were in a similar large golden hallway as Room 1. The so-called rooms were not a small room at all but a gigantic golden hallway littered with portals. However, this time round, there were 4 portals instead of 3; one portal was on the left, two portals were in the middle while there was a portal to the right.
As with the first room, there was also a picturesque imagery in the middle of the golden hallway which was shaped like a dome.
Ji Yuan began to said immediately as he clutched his heart, "You won't believe it but I was attacked by that masked man and his profound sword energies pierced my heart…"
"Hohohohoho…" Old Reverend Beiyuan began to laugh aloud. "Young man, you really know how to joke. Just like me, hohohohoho…"
Ji Yuan: …
"I'm not joking, you know…"
Old Reverend Beiyuan continued to laugh jovially, "There are no signsof any injuries on you, young man. Do you think that you can hide your condition from my sight with my supreme divine sense?"
Ji Yuan continued to protest, "Look, I got pierced by a sword energy and there is even a dark sword inside my soul sea now."
"And where is it now?" Old Reverend Beiyuan snided him with a chuckle.
Ji Yuan was stunned; the dark sword had completely dissipated into his soul sea and it was nowhere to be found. Moreover he had also completely recovered from his agonies earlier and appeared to be completely unharmed.
How is he going to explain this to them?
Suddenly, Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing began to hum coldly in their directions, "Enough of your jokes and pretenses. We need to keep up our guards up in this place. If you have so much energetic stamina to waste, use it for the room trials instead."
"Wait a minute!" Ji Yuan frowned. "I'm really not joking. I got attacked by that masked man in the canvas imagery earlier."
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing answered coldly, "It is impossible."
Ji Yuan raised his voice to protest, "Maybe you can consider it as a possibility. What if there is a profound art that can be triggered in the canvas imagery and he really attacked me?"
Old Reverend Beiyuan could not help laughing even louder while Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing firmly said coldly, "There is no such profound art. Are you even a cultivator at all? You should tell through your divine sense that there is no profound formation in that canvas imagery earlier. Enough with your talks or don't blame me for sealing your mouth."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
What the heck? I really got attacked. No one believes me?!
Xiang Li and Anyang were both protesting loudly in Ji Yuan's soul sea even though no one but Ji Yuan could hear them: Big Brother/ My lord is speaking the truth! He's really got attacked! We saw a dark sword in his soul sea earlier except that it just disappeared mysterious…
Ji Yuan had turned to look at Yun Chi, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress; it was alright if these God Immortals did not believe him but at least his maidens would, right?
But when he saw the almost silent giggles on their countenances, he was left cursing to himself; none of them believed in his story.
Just as he was cursing silently, Shui Xisi had suddenly flown next to him and she was laughing as she cuddled him, "I believe in you…"
Shui Xisi was winking at him and she was rubbing him with her body as she whispered softly, "Hehe, I know you only too well…"
She had purposely dragged her words as though she was implying that Ji Yuan had a real purpose in faking his story. It was quite obvious to her that Ji Yuan was pretending to be injured so that he would have a chance to hold his maidens. Therefore, she had pretended to believe in Ji Yuan's story.
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "That's not really what I want…"
He was suddenly interrupted by the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu who was giggling softly as she grabbed Ji Yuan's other arm, "Ji Yuan, you look badly injured. Come, let me support you while you stand."
The Lovely Empress had also thought that Ji Yuan was staging a pretense and when she saw that Shui Xisi was cuddling next to him, she got envious immediately and she was also cuddling Ji Yuan with her body warmly.
Yun Chi hummed coldly, "Men are just animals on heat."
Bai Qianfeng had lowered her head and was looking the other way, too awkward to look at Ji Yuan. She was actually thinking to herself why she had such a lecherous lord even in the company of strangers.
Ji Yuan muttered weakly but he could not resist grabbing hard the waists of Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress, "It isn't what you all think… that is the whole truth…"
Shui Xisi giggled as she hugged Ji Yuan even more tightly, allowing his fingers to move discreetly down her waist. "This is the whole truth…"
Even the Lovely Empress was nodding and giggling as she flushed hotly for Ji Yuan was moving his fingers between her butt…
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing was looking displeased and impatient as she hummed coldly, "In this room, the Boundless Sovereign Demon God is pointing his sword to the middle and his eyes are looking to the middle right. Therefore we should take the middle portal to the left."
Ji Yuan had suddenly noticed the canvas imagery on the dome above; this time there was only the Boundless Sovereign Demon God and he was seated regally on his throne. He had his demonic sword pointing to the middle and he was looking left as well.
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing said, "It is relatively easy in the first few rooms but it will get increasing difficult. Follow me quick."
With that she had vanished into the portal that was in the left side in the middle of the large golden hallway.
Old Reverend Beiyuan began to laugh jovially as he entered the portal after Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing, "Hohohoho. Young man, maybe I can try your joke sometimes on Qi Yuexing to see if she would hug me instead. Hohohoho…"
Ji Yuan: …
That isn't my intention and I am not joking.
Yun Chi and Bai Qianfeng had also quickly vanished into the portal.
Ji Yuan was pulled along by Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress into the portal and they were giggling at almost the same time, "Nice joke."
Ji Yuan bitterly said, "Maybe this is a nice joke after all."
After all, he got to hug two peerless maidens by his side now by pretending to be injured.
