The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1253 The Dark Secret of the Holy Maiden Ling Shan (1)

?When Ji Yuan was shown to his quarters in the palace, he was naturally furious but he had to suppress his anger.

It was because he was housed in a separate quarter from the other maidens.

What was more, he was also housed in the outer palace instead of the inner palace.

The Holy Maiden Ling Shan had told him, "You are a servant of the Great Saintess Shui Xisi. You may have a high cultivation realm but you are also a male too. So, it isn't appropriate for you to be in the same place as them."

Just like that, he was housed in another palace and far away from the five maidens.

Ji Yuan was hopping mad as he lay on his bed.

His quarter was actually quite splendid and there was even a cultivation chamber. But this was not the point.

He would rather be in a cave with Shui Xisi than being alone in a room.

All of a sudden, Ji Yuan had a playful grin as he got up of his bed.

He began to rub his chin as he chuckled, "My stealth ability is second to none. If I want to sneak into Shui Xisi's room then no one will be able to stop me. Muhahaha…"

Anyang warned him, "Be careful that you don't enter into the wrong room and bang the wrong maiden."

Ji Yuan frowned immediately, "You got to be kidding me. Will I be so blind?"

Xiang Li giggled, "Big Brother, are you sure that you won't be lost in this place?"

Ji Yuan laughed aloud, "Lost? I will never be lost in any places. Muhahaha…"

Xiang Li, Anyang: …

They had remembered that Ji Yuan was lost in the palace of the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect not long ago.

Xiang Li giggled, "Big Brother, why don't we come out and be in your company? We can also show you our new spirit dresses too. Hehe…"

Ji Yuan had already sneaked to the entrance as he replied nonchalantly, "Not interested."

Xiang Li, Anyang: …

Ji Yuan could see that there were 4 cultivators that were standing guard at the entrance to his room.

They were not standing exactly quite near but in the courtyard of his abode.

In order to sneak out, he had to get pass these 4 cultivators first without knowing.

Ji Yuan began to grin to himself, "Luckily, my stealth ability is top notch."

Anyang frowned, "This got nothing to do with your stealth ability. How do you get pass them? They are not some low level cultivators. With their divine sense, any movements will be sensed by them."

Xiang Li was also pondering the same too.

Ji Yuan laughed softly, "You are all too young and too simple. Their divine sense is at the entrance. But I am not going that way at all."

Then he had flashed to the ceiling arcs and he was slowly inspecting the ceiling.

Soon, he had found a moveable tile as he quietly shifted an opening in the roof.

Ji Yuan was grinning to himself, "This is all too easy. Haha…"

Anyang muttered weakly, "Next time, we know that they should place him in an underground chamber or a multi-storey pagoda."

Soon, Ji Yuan was on the roof top as he had concealed his presence.

However, he still had to wait for an opportunity as the four cultivators were still in the vicinity.

When he had sensed that the divine senses of the four cultivators were distracted and that a dark cloud had just passed by instead of a crimson dark cloud, he began to lurk along in the darkness before he flashed happily in the rooftops.

He soon saw the buildings of the inner palace.

However he was soon dismayed that there was a formidable array that was in this place.

He muttered, "I wonder how I am able to break into this formation without alarming the others?"

Anyang giggled to him, "My lord, your cultivation sucks."

Ji Yuan frowned, "I am a sword cultivator and I don't have time for the other cultivations…"

"What a lame excuse," Xiang Li giggled softly.

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes before he grinned, "Xiang Li and Anyang, can you help me?"

Xiang Li laughed softly, "With Anyang, we can neutralize any formation arrays except immortal arrays."

Ji Yuan was delighted, "Hurry then. Hahaha…"

Xiang Li chuckled, "It is done now."

Ji Yuan was startled, "So fast?!"

Anyang giggled with Xiang Li as she said to Ji Yuan, "This profound array isn't that difficult. You don't need to be a high level cultivator to neutralize it. You just need to be an expert in arrays to neutralize this."

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "Why is that I feel that you are slapping me in the face instead? This isn't an insult, am I right?"

Anyang chuckled, "What do you think?"

Ji Yuan cursed softly as he sneaked past the profound arrays and over the tall walls of the inner palace.

There were dozens of palaces within the inner palace compound and all of the palaces were gigantic in size.

Anyang asked Ji Yuan, "My lord. Are you lost?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "Of course not. I know exactly where I should be going."

Anyang giggled, "And it is?"

JI Yuan pointed at the biggest palace, "Of course it is that palace. It is the biggest. Hahaha…"

And with that, he had flashed in the darkness.

Actually, there was no day and night in this place.

However, the ocean of lava around the Mt. Vulcan Island would grow dim every 12 hours and this caused the crimson clouds above to grow dark instead of crimson.

Right now, it was the darker cycle and hence, it was their night.

Before long, Ji Yuan was lurking in the dark halls of the biggest palace that he was checking upon.

There were naturally many patrols around and even profound arrays.

However, Ji Yuan was able to enter undetected.

Xiang Li asked Ji Yuan, "Big Brother, I feel that you are a thief. So much effort just to look for Maiden Shui Xisi?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "Do you want to miss a show tonight then?"

Xiang Li giggled softly, "Of course not!"

Anyang muttered, "I think you are still sour about your halfway love making act with Maiden Shui Xisi earlier."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly to them.

Then he said to them, "Help me to neutralize the profound defenses in this place as well. This place seems to be triple reinforced."

He had entered a hallway where he saw that there were many cultivators patrolling around the hallways and thought of investigating it.

Xiang Li shouted to him, "Big Brother, done!"

Ji Yuan laughed softly as he entered into the palace grounds, "These cultivators trust too much in their profound arrays. Luckily, I don't cultivate any since these can be too easily breeched."

Anyang, Xiang Li: …

Anyang muttered, "This sounds like a bad excuse not to cultivate in profound arrays…"

All of a sudden, Ji Yuan was gasping softly; it was because he had suddenly caught sight of the Holy Maiden Ling Shan talking to 20 of her elders.

He had recognized them as elders as he had seen them earlier, including Elder You Kuang who was the first elder that he had seen when he was within sight of the Mt. Vulcan Island.

He was thinking: Ops, wrong place.

Just as he was about to leave, he had noticed that the Holy Maiden Ling Shan was scantily dressed.

And before he could leave, the Holy Maiden Ling Shan had suddenly slipped her robe off her shoulders and he saw that she was actually naked, wearing nothing inside her robe.

This astonished Ji Yuan!
