A few days later when Ji Yuan was getting better enough to walk and got over his great disappointment that he was struck as a beardless cultivator, he had decided to pay a visit to Hua Xunzi.
It was because her injuries looked more severe than him.
As this was a sudden decision, he did not tell anyone and moreover it was night now.
In the past few days, Zhi Jiugong had been taking good care of him while the Succubus Queen Minami seemed to be brooding over something whenever he took a look at her.
So he told her, "I am alright. You can settle your sect affairs first. I have Maiden Zhi Jiugong to take care of me."
This caused the Succubus Queen Minami to brood even darker.
As Ji Yuan was also brooding over the loss of his beautiful beard so he did not notice the brooding look that was on the Succubus Queen Minami.
It was not before long that he had reached the court yard that led to Hua Xunzi's residence.
There were actually several female cultivators that were standing guard here but when they saw Ji Yuan, they quickly gave way to him as they respectfully gave him a half bow.
When he had walked past them, they were all raising their lovely countenances and were giggling silently; it was because this Sword Demon Lord Ji Yuan was simply just too good looking compared to the ugly beastman, ogre and fiend male cultivators!
Ji Yuan had entered the inner court yard and there were also some female cultivators that were on guard in the premises.
But when they saw that it was actually the Sword Demon Ji Yuan, they giggled soft as they quickly left the inner court yard.
Ji Yuan did not think much of their behaviors as he was not familiar with the ways of the demonic cultivators. He then quietly knocked on Hua Xunzi's door and said, "Maiden Hua Xunzi, it is me."
A startled voice exclaimed with surprise, "Ji Yuan?"
Ji Yuan laughed, "May I come in?"
Hua Xunzi said quietly, "It is already so late. Why don't you come back in the day? We don't want to cause any misunderstanding in the eyes of the others..."
Ji Yuan simply pushed the door opened, breaking the weak profound bonds on the door; the door could not stop a great saint like Ji Yuan from breaking through and moreover Hua Xunzi did not reinforce it as well as she did not think that she was in any danger.
As he entered into Hua Xunzi's room, he was sighing broodingly and asked. "What did you say just now?"
Hua Xunzi was startled when Ji Yuan had absented mindedly entered into her room and he did not seem to have heard her.
"Nothing." She muttered softly.
At this late hour of the night, she was not resting but was sitting serenely in the small study table as she read her cultivation slip.
However her focus was not on the cultivation slip but on what had happened between Ji Yuan and her; while reading her cultivation slips, she was actually thinking if it was proper to be with Ji Yuan because she felt that she was an undeserving maiden to have any status or attention. And moreover Little Princess was her citadel mistress and Ji Yuan was her man.
Also, Ji Yuan had too many attractive sweethearts in his harems and even a lofty beauty like her felt that she was lacking in charms in front of all these extremely beautiful maidens.
Also, she had a wanton past and she was also from the Evil Cultivation Palace.
Therefore she had already decided to leave at the first break of dawn.
However she did not expect to see Ji Yuan tonight and he was looking quite depressed.
Curious, she asked. "Ji Yuan, what is bothering you?"
Maybe he wanted to tell her that he had sworn in his soul sea to take her as his consort because he had thought that she would not be able to live. But now when she was alive, he was unable to take her as his consort and was here to ask her to cancel what he had said. Then he could be freed of his heart demon.
Ji Yuan sighed as he sat down next to her, "Maiden Hua Xunzi, are you feeling better now?"
Hua Xunzi said quietly as she turned to look at Ji Yuan with her coyly golden eyes, "I am well now. Thanks for your concern. What is bothering you?"
Ji Yuan had a long sigh and he had a brooding look.
Finally he said slowly, "Not long ago, I had found a Cultivator Origin Profound Pill that can restore my beard but… alas!"
Hua Xunzi was startled; this was not what she had been expecting to hear.
She said curiously, "Isn't this good? If this is your wish."
Ji Yuan sighed even louder, "This is the reason why I am so depressed about."
Hua Xunzi looked a little perplexed and she said, "You are undecided if you should take this Cultivator Origin Profound Pill or not, am I right?""
Ji Yuan was startled as he looked up: No?
But before he could give her his reply, Hua Xunzi had misunderstood his startled look as a yes so she smiled. "Actually you should not bother to think so much over this. Beards are ugly and can get into the way. Also men that have beards have no interest in women and instead they spent too much of their time grooming their beards. Some bearded men will even develop a fetish for other men. But you are different. You have a beautiful harem and you should appreciate your beardless look."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Xiang Li laughed in Ji Yuan's soul sea: You know. I totally agree with Maiden Hua Xunzi's point of view on this.
Fairy Anyang laughed too: Me too as well!
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Hua Xunzi saw that Ji Yuan was suddenly very quiet so she asked curiously, "Did I say something wrong?"
Ji Yuan answered bitterly, "Nothing wrong…"
He was not one who would purposely hurt the feeling of a maiden, especially someone who was also injured for his sake. So he had to suck his thumb and answered her otherwise.
Actually, he had actually come here to look for Hua Xunzi to comfort him over the loss of his beautiful beard but instead, he had heard her disliking his bearded look…
Worse, even Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang were both telling him the very same thing tonight…
This caused him to look even more depressed…
As Ji Yuan sunk deeper into his depression, Hua Xunzi was suddenly looking at him with a weird look.
Hua Xunzi was actually thinking that this may be Ji Yuan's final gift to her before she departed from this place.
She had actually saved her true yin essence in her cultivation core to be used for someone that she truly loves in the future. And tonight was a given opportunity. Moreover Ji Yuan looked vulnerable in his current state and he was also not a defense or power cultivator that could resist her hallucinations.
So she said to Ji Yuan all of a sudden, "Ji Yuan, look into my eyes…"
Ji Yuan was startled as he turned to look into Hua Xunzi's golden eyes, "Yes?"
Hua Xunzi said slowly, "Tonight, you will be the happiest man. Are you willing to be a happy man?"
Ji Yuan dully said, "I am willing to be a happy man…"
Fairy Anyang asked Xiang Li: Erm, what is this Hua Xunzi doing to our lord here?
Xiang Li covered her face as she giggled: I think she is trying to get intimate with our lord here. If so, we shouldn't break her mesmerizing spell over our lord.
As Xiang Li and Fairy Anyang were Ji Yuan's spirit entities, they could also strengthen his resistances or to cause soul attacks to fail immediately.
But at this moment, they had purposely allowed Ji Yuan to be caught in Hua Xunzi's mesmerizing hypnosis…
