Divine Consort Tang Manni did not make any special requests from Ji Yuan and she had simply said that she was only going to the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel on the request of Maiden Flower Ju to aid him if he was in trouble.
Actually, Ji Yuan was grateful to her for that; he knows that she was upset with him but yet she was still willing to come to his aid even though she did not want to see him.
But he was too awkward to talk further to her and there were too many things that were on his mind tonight that he needed to digest first.
Once Ji Yuan and Divine Consort Tang Manni had reached Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei's tavern, they quickly learnt from Maiden Flower Ju that Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei still had not returned.
After that, it was just a simply good night between the two of them and the two of them had both departed to their resting rooms.
Once he had rested, he could talk to her tomorrow.
Divine Consort Tang Manni had quietly gone to her personal room in the tavern and so did her 20 female followers. Even though this was not her real home but her sister had permantly reserved the best room here for her.
And she had often frequented this tavern and often sought instructions from her Sister Xu Yifei on the methods of cultivations.
This tavern was like a second home to her and even her female followers were no strangers to this place and they would pretend to be diners while she was here.
Looking at the backview of Ji Yuan as he left for his personal room, Divine Consort Tang Manni looked a little lost; it was because she had not expected herself to like him and she did not know how to continue this relationship.
The other 3 divine consorts were brave enough to claim Ji Yuan as their man and cultivation partner but for her, she was too shy to say anything when it mattered for her to say so.
But she just could not say it in public in front of the other 3 divine consorts.
That was why she had suddenly appeared to be lost when Ji Yuan had chosen her to take him away and had even declared loudly that the reason why he had chosen Divine Consort Tang Manni to the other 3 divine consorts was simply because she did not want him to be his cultivation partner or champion.
But this was not true.
It was because she had secretly hoped that Ji Yuan would sincerely like her for who she really is and not because she is a divine consort.
She was actually quite impressed by him after he had helped her Sister Xu Yifei in her condition.
For the past 500 years, she had been depleting her cultivation resources just to find a cure for her sister's ailment even though her sister told her not to.
She just could not understand why her sister, a genius among the geniuses, will fail in her ascension.
In the past 10 000 years, there was never a genius divine consort like her sister that could reach the peak in just 500 years.
She was a genius spirit cultivator that could reach the peak without the aid of the Great Blessings of the Spiritas Tower.
But at the Spiritas Tower, when her Sister Xu Yifei become the pride of all the spiritas in Snowy Pavilion City over the other city-states, she had suddenly failed in her ascension after receiving the great blessings of the Immortals from the Greater Spirit Realm.
When she had asked her Sister Xu Yifei about this, she simply said nonchalantly. "Perhaps, this is my fate."
But she refused to say anything more about why she had suddenly failed.
All these years, she was beginning to wonder if her sister had stay behind in the Spirit Divine Realm because of her and she tried very hard to follow in the footsteps of her sister.
Even though today she had become one of the two most powerful divine consorts in Snowy Pavilion City, she could not overcome that crucial breakthrough to become a Great Divine Consort.
Even Divine Consort Dongfang Xin had also been struck in her spirit cultivation for a long time.
The only way to successfully gained this cultivation breakthrough was to obtain the Great Blessings of the Immortal Spiritas in the Spiritas Tower that would be opened every 500 years.
And for that, she would need a strong champion to represent her.
Till now, she had not found her champion yet.
But if she picked Ji Yuan to be her champion and he happens to win the great games of the Spiritas Tower then she would be forcefully ascended to the Greater Divine Realm and she has to say farewell to him.
But he is a celestial and he has to leave after 70 days as well.
Why must fate be so cruel to the two of them and forced them to be in two different realms?
Of course, there is still one more option left for Ji Yuan; he can of course decide to stay permanently in the Spirit Divine Realm by removing his black trial ring.
But this was something that Divine Consort Tang Manni did not want to force him to do. After all, he was in this place just take his cultivation trial.

The next morning when Ji Yuan had stopped by at the counter where Maiden Flower Ju was, the first thing that he had asked her was. "Is Divine Consort Tang Manni up already?"
Maiden Flower Ju smiled, "She has already left with her followers."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
"Surely not." He said bitterly.
He had spent the whole night thinking about something and he had an idea all of a sudden.
Since he knows that his senior sister is a champion of Divine Consort Dongfang Xin, maybe he can ask her if he can be her champion. Then he can also join the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower and be at the same place as his senior sister.
Also, he wanted to find out more about this Spiritas Tower from her.
But to his shock, she had already left.
He could only mutter weakly to himself: She must still be upset with me…
Then he asked, "Is Fairy Concubine Xu Yifei back yet?"
Maiden Flower Ju shook her head, "My mistress is still not back yet."
Ji Yuan began to sign heavily; the two maidens that know about the Spiritas Tower are all not around…
So he asked Maiden Flower Ju, "Do you know anything about the Spiritas Tower and what is in there?"
Maiden Flower Ju smiled wryly, "Only divine consorts and their champions are allowed to enter the Spiritas Tower. I will suggest that you ask my mistress or Divine Consort Tang Manni instead. They know more than I do and I don't want to mislead you."
Ji Yuan frowned, "This is a little too secretive…"
And he was cursing himself for not asking Divine Consort Tang Manni last night. But then again, she may not answer him last night as she may suspect his motives for asking and also, he may not be her ideal champion.
"Oh, by the way." Maiden Flower Ju smiled, "Divine Consort Sun Dingjun has sent word that she will help to take care of Xiao Muhan for you. And she will send him back to you after he has signed a spirit contract to become her champion."
Ji Yuan said with a heavy sigh, "Alas, my Brother Xiao Muhan. You know what, I am beginning to miss him really badly…"
Among his best friends, only Xiao Muhan and Guo Taiming were the only ones that would not butter up to him and together, they were perfectly at ease to speak their most unpleasant minds out.
And they were his true friends.
Ji Yuan also had many friends like Li Ye, Shen Qin and among others but they were more interested to butter him up so he did not really think of them as his true friends.
Ji Yuan sighed again, "I really hope that Brother Xiao Muhan will have a pleasant time while he is in the company of Divine Consort Sun Dingjun…"
Then he was suddenly frowning to himself, "Dang! Isn't this what he really wants in the first place? To gain the trust of a divine consort. And this Divine Consort Sun Dingjun looks so easy going and she is always blushing. The longer that Xiao Muhan is with her, the more that I fear for her safety…
