The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1111 The Victory Banquet (2)

When the jovial banquet had officially started, there were more things that were on Ji Yuan's mind that were bothering him.

It was because he was now sitting in the seat of honor with Ding Xiaoxiao.

And she was really extremely beautiful today which startled Ji Yuan as she put on a charming robe which showed her curves nicely.

He was gulping dryly at her beautiful sight.

And Ding Xiaoxiao was one of the things that had bothered him lately, especially after they had embraced each other after the battle with the Immortal Abyssal Gong Diablo.

After fighting with her against the Immortal Abyssal Gong Diablo, he found it really hard to picture her as an enemy that he has to fight when he is back to the Celestial Realm.

It was still an undeniable fact that they were actually on opposing sides.

Ding Xiaoxiao was looking quite coquettishly as she sat near to Ji Yuan, not saying anything while Ji Yuan was the more talkative one as he returned toast after toast.

By now, most of the cultivators had gotten used to the quiet Ding Xiaoxiao so they did not mind at all.

Moreover, they were all quite impressed by her sword skills and her cultivation strength.

Without Ding Xiaoxiao to fight alongside Ji Yuan against the Immortal Abyssal Gong Diablo, they would not have won such a great victory and earned so much prestige in the Dark Abyssal Realm.

It was not exaggerating to say that Ji Yuan and Ding Xiaoxiao had single handedly won the Ancient Race all the lost prestige of their Ancient Race and made the other abyssal races trembled at offending the Nightfall Heights for a very long time.

Ding Xiaoxiao had never been so intimate with a man before and Ji Yuan was the very first man that had ever impressed her, not once but multiple times.

Although they did not have much exchanges with each other and they had duel in many different ways but he had earned her grudging respect.

She thought that it was no wonder why there were so many maidens that were all willingly to follow Ji Yuan.

Like Ji Yuan, Ding Xiaoxiao was finding it hard to focus her sword intentions against him should they duel again in the Celestial Realm.

She was greatly bothered by it.

As she would be fulfilling the third and final wish of the Great Demon God, she may be forced to release her peaked 9th cultivation strength against Ji Yuan should the Great Demon God ordered her to fight against Ji Yuan.

From all appearances, Ji Yuan was the most powerful cultivator in the Celestial Realm now and he was naturally the biggest threat to the Great Demon God's ambition to seize the Celestial Realm from the immortals of the Nine Heavens Divine Realm.

The loss of the Celestial Realm to the Desolate Immortals would severely hurt the Nine Heavens Divine Realm as it is their most important great world.

Ding Xiaoxiao was not the only one that was bothered in this banquet.

Cardinal Confident Jun Qianfeng was looking quite depressed and her eyes were fluffy; she had been crying for the past 2 days when she had learnt that Ji Yuan would be leaving the Dark Abyssal Realm in 3 days.

She was actually heartbroken.

Although she was not rejected by Ji Yuan but she did not have the chance to talk with him too.

In her heart, she wanted to express her affections for Ji Yuan.

She felt that even her mother consort Li Yifen had more opportunities to talk with Ji Yuan because she was his Cardinal Harpy and they were both staying in the same Cathedral of the Songs.

Although she had paid the Cathedral of the Songs several visits, often multiple times in a day but Ji Yuan was always in cultivation.

She soon realized that she was simply not fated to be with Ji Yuan and was heartbroken.

Also, when she had learnt that even Xuan Qiaoqiao and Juan Xian'Er had an affair with Ji Yuan, she was even more heartbroken.

Sitting near to her was the Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen; how could she not know how her daughter is feeling right now?

She was well aware of her daughter's visits and half of the time when Jun Qianfeng had come, Ji Yuan was in bed banging her instead.

Li Yifen felt extremely guilty but matters of the heart could not be forced.

She also knows that Ji Yuan had a leg with the Cardinal Priestess and Juan Xian'Er too, two of their highest level cultivators at the Nightfall Heights.

When Xuan Qiaoqiao had told the Cardinals about her pregnancy and that her child's father was Ji Yuan, it shocked all the other Cardinals and Millenium Jun Feitian.

Millenium Jun Feitian had also liked Juan Xian'Er even though he already had Ur Muyuan. But in this regard, he was more generous as he said outspokenly. "Savior Ji Yuan truly deserves Xian'Er and our holy priestess."

Sitting further away from Li Yifen were the 4 maidens Xuan Qiaoqiao, Juan Xian'Er, Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er.

The 4 of them had become unbelievably close lately and were always together.

Right now, the 4 of them were gossiping in secret that Ji Yuan and Ding Xiaoxiao must be a pair of secret couple.

Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er even told Xuan Qiaoqiao and Juan Xian'Er about their duel in the Spirit Divine Realm.

For the past 2 days, Xuan Qiaoqiao and Juan Xian'Er were asking the two divine consorts Little Jie'Er and Tang Manni plenty of questions on Ji Yuan's background.

As the jovial banquet was on-going, the Cardinal Patriarch had suddenly shouted jovially. "Everyone, listen here. We got an announcement to make for everyone…"

Everyone began to look in his direction.

The Cardinal Patriarch laughed jovially as he looked at the Cardinal Pope and the Cardinal Herald, "As you all know, we owe the victory over the Nefarious Blood Kingdom to Savior Ji Yuan and Maiden Xiaoxiao here. Therefore, the Cardinal Council has decided on unanimous decision to make Ji Yuan and Maiden Xiaoxiao our honorable Ancient Race. From today onward, they will be one of us!"

When he had announced this, all the senior cultivators and elders numbering more than 3000 were all cheering loudly inside the great hall.

Their cheers were so loud that the Argos Palace was even trembling with their loud claps and cheers even though the great hall was protected with anti-sound barrier.

The profound voices of so many cultivators together were a match for the defensive array that were in the great hall!

Almost all the cultivators were shouting, "All hail Savior Ji Yuan! All hail Maiden Xiaoxiao!"

Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "Thank you. I am so happy with his honor…"

Ding Xiaoxiao merely smiled as she did not attach any importance to any positions.

The Cardinal Pope rose up to make another announcement, "Everyone! I have another announcement to make. Our Cardinal Priestess will be engaged to Savior Ji Yuan today as well."

The reason why Juan Xian'Er was not mentioned because her affair with Ji Yuan was still a secret and she was worried that the Immortal Ancient Race would find out about it so she did not tell anyone.

The great hall exploded into loud chattering immediately; it was not displeasure but great excitement!

The cultivators actually did not mind that Savior Ji Yuan was actually taking their Cardinal Priestess and Holy Priestess as his consort.

Jun Qianfeng lowered her puffy eyes as she sincerely wished the two of them well but it could not hide her broken heart.

It came as a surprise to Ding Xiaoxiao as well even though she had suspected that Ji Yuan had an affair with Xuan Qiaoqiao for some time.

She lowered her eyes to say quietly to Ji Yuan who was sitting near to her, "Congratulations on getting another consort."

Ji Yuan turned to her with a grin, "It is only for ceremony's sake. After that, I will be returning to the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth…"

"You don't have to explain to me," Ding Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly "Soon, all your consorts will become widows anyway."
