The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan was walking in front, along with the short old man while the Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Empress had kept a respectful distance away from them.

It was because the short old man had never said he would not kill the Smiling Divine Maiden or the Lovely Empress.

Right now, they were just following Ji Yuan and if he needed any help from them, they would all gang up against the old freak.

Ji Yuan whispered to the short old man, "Is it still painful?"

The short old man frowned, "What do you think if you got hit with a miracle sword art and a saint-step divine sword?"

Ji Yuan laughed, "At least I never use my sword spirit on you, haha! Well, I don't think you will be painful because my old master once taught me that real men must be able to take stabbing and can't make any complains even if they are bedridden for a year. But since you can still stand and walk, it isn't any much pain I suppose."

"You sure know how to take advantage of your old master." Frowned the short old man.

But he soon soften his voice to say, "I hope that you are able to guide my daughter Lixue to a righteous path. She can be as stubborn as me. Once she set her mind into doing something, she will almost never changes her mind."

Ji Yuan nodded eagerly, "I will surely help to take care of senior protege sister for you, haha."

The short old man sighed softly before continuing, "Once we are out of this place, I will make an arranged marriage for you. This is something that I have actually wanted to do for a long time. This is because you are my best direct protege."

Ji Yuan laughed awkwardly as he was already thinking of the Smiling Divine Maiden, "Really? Haha... then I shall not decline... haha..."

The short old man stared at Ji Yuan, "Little rascal, you are indeed too shameless. You didn't even say no to my request."

Ji Yuan chuckled, "Is this the first day that you have known me?"

The short old man laughed as well, "Among all my proteges, you are the only one that can become my direct protege by being the most shameless but smart cultivator. That is why I have chosen you to succeed me."

"Haha..." Ji Yuan had indeed used the most unorthodox means to be a direct protege. "But you know, after I have become your direct protege, I have already regretted it. If I know you will break my bones almost every day and force me on your brutal trainings, I would definitely want to be just a normal protege."

The short old man frowned, "Darn you. You are too spineless. When I adopted you as a baby, you still have to beg me for your milk!"

Ji Yuan shruuged his shoulders as he muttered, "As if you can produce any milk..."

The short old man: ...

"You know. When the others are just a baby, they will tend to add strength, intelligence and wisdom but you probably end up adding physical beauty at the expense of your wisdom, which cause you to be a big mouth."

Ji Yuan frowned, "Are you insulting me that I have only a beautiful face?"

The short old man chuckled, "If you are not an adorable baby back then, will I not adopt you?"

Ji Yuan: ...

The short old man quickly laughed and asked, "Are you using my methods to train your two direct proteges?"

Ji Yuan had a stupidified look before he said awkwardly, "Actually I have never hit them before."

The short old man was startled, "What?! And Chengxi can be a sword saintess?!"

Ji Yuan began to lament awkwardly, "The minute i opened my mouth to scold them, Chengxi and Yan'Er would start to cry. Can you imagine if I were to use your methods? Therefore I can only abuse them with my mouth everyday."

The short old man: ...

"Little rascal! This is your biggest mistake! You shouldn't have abused them with your mouth!"

Ji Yuan frowned immediately, "Um? What do you mean? What did I do wrong?!"

The short old man howled with displeasure, "Do you know what is your greatest weakness? You got a big mouth. Sooner or later, your mouth will end up killing you!"

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "How come I didn't know that I have a big mouth? Care to give me an example?"

The short old man angrily said, "You still dare to ask me for an example?! There was one time when you are drunk, I saw you boasting to some cultivators that the Matriarch of the Water Melody Palace was too old for you and she was begging you to bang her..."

"Wait a minute! Did I really say that?" Ji Yuan interrupted with a soft growl.

The short old man continued, "Then I saw an old granny following you and she was beating the hell out of you."

Ji Yuan began to frown immediately for he did remember getting beaten up by an old granny now...

"Then why didn't you help me? Since you are so strong? You actually allow your direct protege to be beaten by someone?!"

The short old man hummed coldly, "That old granny happened to be the Matriach Shui of the Water Melody Palace. She is on par with me and I may not even be able to win her. Are you asking me to court my own death? If it is that Palace Mistress Shui Qingqing then it is really easy."

Ji Yuan was now staring at the short old man, "You sure it is the matriarch of the Water Melody Palace?!"

The short old man nodded firmly, "And moreover she had already known that I was there to follow you but she still beat you up and did not give me any face."

Ji Yuan: ...

Ji Yuan: ...

Ji Yuan: ...

Sisi actually knows me back then?!

Ji Yuan told the short old man, "If I tell you that I have banged the Matriarch Shui, would you believe me?"

The short old man laughed uncontrollably, "You really got poor taste. I think you got forced by her, right?"

Ji Yuan: ...

Well, sort of so...

He was already missing her...

And she was the only uncontactable maiden left...

Ji Yuan quickly tried to change the topic, "Say old man, so you are here to save your daughter from this place?"

The short old man hesitated for a while before he solemnly said, "That is right. I need to bring her back. However her master is a half-step divinity and also a true god of the Desolate Divine Realm. Should I perish in this place, I want you to take her away no matter what to fulfill this wish of mine. But it will be extremely difficult. I have already tried for many years now and have failed. Today is the first time in a thousand years that I have seen her."

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes and said with a soft chuckle, "What if I can defeat the Death God Mingwang and takes her away from this place?"

The short old man hummed coldly, "You are getting more and more shameless with your big mouth. If you can do that then I shall call you grand daddy for life!"

Ji Yuan grinned, "Haha, I shall remember what you have said..."

All of a sudden he had frozen on his tracks as did the short old man.

The Smiling Divine Maiden and the Lovely Maiden had also frozen in their tracks.

It was because they had suddenly spotted a dark figure moving toward them in the fog and his profound aura had pronounced him aa a peaked great saint.

The Smiling Divine Maiden shouted a warning, "He is Hunter North King and he is the strongest under Steward Gu Bugu!"
