The Romantic Cultivator



The Dark Abyssal Realm.

3 days after leaving the forest where Ji Yuan had met Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao, he saw the great mountains of the Nightfall Heights.

Although it was a mere 3 days but Ji Yuan and Xuan Qiaoqiao did not take any long breaks. Instead they had traveled day and night for this 3000 miles journey.

But to Ji Yuan and Xuan Qiaoqiao, this was actually an easy journey. 

The great mountains of the Nightfall Heights were surrounded by numerous chasms and red forests; any invasion forces would not have an easy time to reach the Nightfall Heights.

When Ji Yuan saw the mountain walls of the Nightfall Heights, he was also in shock.

It was because the mountain sides were almost vertical in steepness on all sides and the lowest height was at least 30 miles and it sketched for 100 miles. 

Ji Yuan thought: It is no wonder why the Ancient Old Ones are able to survive for so long despites the superior strength of the abyssal races here. It is because they can't fly in the first place. 

Although the abyssals could still use flying mounts to reach the heights of the Nightfall Heights but if they did then they would not have any numerical advantage. 

He said to Xuan Qiaoqiao, "This is your home? Can you even climb the mountains here?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao smiled wryly at him, "Do I need to climb when I have wings?"

Ji Yuan: …

He muttered weakly, "Do you have to run with me when you can fly home anytime?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao chuckled softly, "That is because you can't fly, that's why."

Ji Yuan: …

He said bitterly, "Why don't you fly me to your home in the first place?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao chuckled, "That is because you are too heavy for me."

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "What about now?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao pretended to appraise the heights of the Nightfall Mountains before smiling, "Well, I can try. But there is no promise that I will be able to grip you tightly."

Ji Yuan answered weakly, "Don't worry about it. I will drag you along with me if I happen to fall."

Xuan Qiaoqiao winked at him, "Don't worry too. I can kick you down easily if I am falling."

Ji Yuan: …

He simply shrugged his shoulders and he was soon grinning; it was because he knows that Xuan Qiaoqiao was only teasing him.

In the past 3 days, they had exchanged many small chats while they were speeding across the terrains. It resulted in them having a deeper understanding of each other now, especially when Xuan Qiaoqiao had also learnt quite a lot about him from his three brothers.

She would ask him all sorts of questions about the Celestial Realm while telling him about the Dark Abyssal Realm at the same time too.

Xuan Qiaoqiao began to sigh softly, "Soon, I will be back to the Cardinal Cathedral as the… Cardinal Priestess. I may not have the freedom to see you or to protect you from harm."

She had deliberately slow down their journey a little as she wished to spend more time alone with Ji Yuan. But the inevitable still happen; they had finally reached the Nightfall Heights.

Ji Yuan simply grinned, "Don't worry about that. I can take care of myself. Who knows. Maybe I can even gain some tips from my other fellow slaves in your place. Haha!"

By now, Ji Yuan had learnt from Xuan Qiaoqiao that there were no other False Immortals in the Nightfall Height. Therefore, he would still be able to disguise his cultivation realm. So this was actually a small consolation to him.

However if his identity as a celestial or a high level cultivator would to be discovered then death only awaited him as he would be facing numerous seventh realm cultivators of the Ancient Old Ones. And given his inability to cultivate in the Dark Abyssal Realm or to regain his profound strength in this place, he would soon doom himself should a fight were to break out.

Therefore, he had to disguise himself well.

Xuan Qiaoqiao's plan was simple enough and she had reminded him to strictly follow the script; she would introduce Ji Yuan to be a new slave that she had suddenly fancied and hence, she had brought him back. 

"Remember what I've told you."

However, Ji Yuan may not be able to follow her to the Cardinal Cathedral as it was off limits to the men. 

So her elders would probably send him to the slave quarter, with the worst outcome to the mines. 

Ji Yuan assured her, "Don't worry. I am famous for following the scripts. Hahaha…"

Xuan Qiaoqiao sighed softly, "Keep the Star Heart Pendant that I've given you. This will allow us to communicate with each other. However, it can only be used thrice. Use it when only necessary."

Then she asked Ji Yuan, "Are you really sure about this? That you want to follow me to the Nightfall Heights? That you can find the spy within 2 weeks?"

Ji Yuan nodded firmly, "With or without finding the spy, I will take you away from here in less than 2 weeks and then we will find Juan Xian'Er in the Nefarious Royal City."

Xuan Qiaoqiao was touched in her heart as she looked tenderly at Ji Yuan, "But you may die. Is it worth it? You are on a trial and not a death crusade. And your opponent is the True God of the Immortal Great Abyssal Realm."

Ji Yuan frowned, "It isn't a matter of worth it or not. Or even if this is a trial or not. I shall not be green by anyone!"

Xuan Qiaoqiao looked startled but was also heartened at the same time; this means that Ji Yuan considered her as his maiden. 

She smiled wryly to Ji Yuan, "If we succeed then I shall allow you to vent your frustrations at me."

Ji Yuan looked startled, "Bang my frustrations on you? As in B-A-N-G?"

Xuan Qiaoqiao chuckled softly, "Nope. V-E-N-T, vent."

Ji Yuan frowned, looking a little disappointed.

Xuan Qiaoqiao smiled wryly, "I will allow you to vent all your frustrations on me. That is, you are allowed to vent all your desires on me…"

Ji Yuan's eyes had suddenly widened.

She is allowing me to ravage her all I want?

All of a sudden, he was thinking if Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao also meant the same thing?
