The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1241 Dangerous Encounter in the Cave

After Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi had put on their clothing, they were both holding hands tenderly as they decided to explore the cave together.

Ji Yuan sighed softly as he looked at Shui Xisi.

Even though she had many similarities to his Jiajia but she was still not his Jiajia.

Ji Yuan loves her for who she is, just like he loves all his maidens for their unique personalities.

However, Xia Jiajia is like his heart demon and she has occupied a very special place in his heart.

In fact, he is still using the divine sword that Jiajia had given him 100 years ago and this is the only thing that Jiajia had left for him.

But he is still hopeful that he would see his Jiajia soon because isn't this what the Great Beyond Goddess had said to him?

If he goes to the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods then he would be able to see his Jiajia again.

Maybe it would be just a soul fragment of his Jiajia but it would still be her.

No matter if she has a physical body or not, he would not forsake her as long as she could be with him.

Even if the cost is high, he would do everything that he could be with her and he would go to the ends of the earth to look for any profound treasures to revive her.

This was of course a false hope because all the cultivators know that there is no such thing as a resurrection.

Even the immortals know that it is impossible to bring someone back from the dead.

Even a good-for-nothing cultivator like Ji Yuan knows about this too.

That is why the cultivators are constantly seeking immortality so that they could live forever.

There were actually three passages in this cave.

Ji Yuan and Shui Xisi picked the bigger passage so they could explore more comfortably.

As they walked along the passage way, Shui Xisi asked Ji Yuan a question that was bottoming in her heart for a long time. "What do you think of my successor, Shui Qingqing?"

Ji Yuan sighed softly, "She is a good maiden."

"You like her then? Then why don't you make her into your maiden?" Shui Xisi asked him curiously.

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "She is likeable but I like her master more. Hahaha…"

Shui Xisi asked with a wry smile, "So, if I am not around then you will take her as your maiden?"

Ji Yuan answered honestly, "I am not too sure about this. She is a little too innocent. I like badass maidens like you…"

Shui Xisi had suddenly given him a kick on his foot, "Be serious and tell me the truth!"

Ji Yuan laughed before he said solemnly, "She is really a good maiden but I am the one that is badass. I don't want to ruin my heroic image in front of her."

Shui Xisi laughed softly, "You will have a heroic image?"

Ji Yuan: …

"Well, I am a hero and savior of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity, right? Therefore, I am a hero."

Shui Xisi continued to laugh jovially, "Heroic image in front of her… hehe. This is really funny."

Ji Yuan frowned, "In her heart, I am her hero and has a heroic image. But actually, I don't feel worthy of being a hero."

Shui Xisi laughed, "So you are afraid of letting her know your true self and you are afraid that this may be awkward to your face?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "Do you have to be so blunt? What about you? Aren't you afraid of letting the others, especially Qingqing to know about our relationship?"

Shui Xisi was startled before she muttered, "This is so true…"

Then she began to sigh softly, "I don't mind the others knowing about this but I am afraid of letting Qingqing to know about this."

Ji Yuan asked her, "Why?"

Shui Xisi awkwardly said, "I've been emphasising to her all this while that it is immoral to share the same lord as her mistress. We are an orthodox cultivation sect and also a respected holy cultivation sect of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. Therefore, our Water Melody Palace has to uphold a certain moral standard."

Ji Yuan laughed aloud, "So you mean you've shot yourself in your foot? If I am with Qingqing, then you must be my secret lover from now onward?"

Shui Xisi: …

She hummed by giving Ji Yuan an unpleasant look, "You dare?"

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "Although I dare but you don't have to worry about this. I dare not accept Qingqing's love for me."

Shui Xisi smiled wryly, "I've heard that you have promised to give her a proper accounting when you are back from the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "She even told you about this?"

Shui Xisi giggled softly, "Of course. And she was so happy about it. You have certainly given her a hope."

Ji Yuan said bitterly, "She is only thinking about the positive aspect. She didn't consider the fact that I may reject her."

Shui Xisi began to sigh softly, "She is praying for your safe return and when you do, you will then ask me for her hand. That is what she is thinking."

Ji Yuan slapped his face, "Maybe I should get myself killed in the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods instead…"

All of a sudden, Ji Yuan had stopped talking and he was displayed his black true divinity sword as he looked ahead of them, "There is something there."

"I've sensed it too as well." Shui Xisi was also alarmed.

They did not think that there would be something in these tunnels.

A huge black armored desolate beast had suddenly appeared from the darkness of the passage that was in front of him.

It had two gigantic black claws and eight sharp talons on its back; it was truly a hideous monstrosity.

Ji Yuan muttered with some alarm, "6th rank desolate beast… but it is a supreme profound desolate beast…"

Even Shui Xisi was alarmed because next to an epic class, the supreme class was the next powerful.

"Wait here." Ji Yuan said to Shui Xisi as he flashed to attack the desolate monster.

With a quick swing of his divine sword and his sword energies, Ji Yuan had swiftly cut off one of its gigantic black claws but he was unable to make further progress in his attacks before he was forced to evade out of the way from its eight talons that had come down upon him like wind blades.

Ji Yuan quickly evaded the attacks as he gasped, "This thing is fast. Luckily, I am fast in my reflex as well…"

All of a sudden, the severed gigantic black claw had been reattached by the desolate beast and it was as good as new.

Shui Xisi gasped, "Rapid regeneration and instant healing. This desolate beast is not easy to beat and it can easily kill a great saint. Be careful Ji Yuan…"

Ji Yuan nodded slowly as he raised his divine sword in front of him and he did not care to be careless.

A 6th rank supreme profound beast can easily be equaled to a normal 8th rank profound beast plus it would also have several unique abilities.

Also, its sharp talons of this 6th rank supreme profound beast could easily severe the limbs and body of even a great saint!
