The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1269 Ji Yuan holds Destiny's hand

Destiny was suddenly looking with woeful eyes on Ji Yuan, "Do you really meant what you have just said?"

Ji Yuan put on a straight face as he tried to say with great seriousness, "Even though I don't remember what I did when I was drunk but I am also a gentleman of the sword. I guess that I have no other choice but to accept what I have signed and accept this betrothal agreement that is between us."

The Goddess Destiny was startled, "Real-ly?"

Ji Yuan nodded, "Really. Moreover, you are really a likeable maiden. So, why not?"

The Goddess Destiny was looking blissful all of a sudden as she looked at blankly at Ji Yuan…

Ji Yuan was also grinning in his heart; he had purposely made her heart succumbed so that he could alleviate her up again. In this way, she would better cherish him and he would be her lord.

Anyang had heard Ji Yuan's thoughts alright as she said weakly: This is totally unnecessary, you know. She likes you…

Xiang Li giggled as she asked Ji Yuan: If it is an ugly maiden, will you still accept the betrothal agreement?

Ji Yuan answered immediately with a loud chuckle in his soul sea: Of course not! Never! Dream on! No way!

Anyang: ….

Ji Yuan had suddenly caught hold of Destiny's hand, startling her with his gesture. "Let's go!"

He was purposely trying to take advantage of her by touching her silken and smooth hands while saying quite righteously, "Since we have a betrothal agreement now, do you agree that we ought to give it a try to work out our new relationship?"

The Goddess Destiny asked him, "You won't say anything such as breaking the betrothal agreement and becoming stronger than me in 3 years so that you will break this betrothal agreement?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "Why should I do that?"

He could not resist adding with a soft chuckle, "I am already stronger than you now."

The Goddess Destiny: …

He is too shameless…

Just like that, for the next 5 hours, they began to hold hands together as they crossed the ridge slowly until finally they had reached the Black Death Mountains that was on the other side.

The Black Death Mountains was extremely tall and steep as it rose from the oceans of the pinkish desolate mists that were around them.

Ahead of them was a towering twin black mountains that looked like a huge gate that towered over 100m in height.

It was massive and imposing to say the very least.

However, at this moment, Ji Yuan was not thinking about this yet and he was thinking of another matter instead.

Ji Yuan sighed heavily to complain to Destiny, "What a waste of my precious profound strength to walk in such a tiring manner up to this point."

The Goddess Destiny merely smiled but she was feeling a little awkward in her heart as she could cross this ridge almost instantaneous and taking Ji Yuan along with her but she had enjoyed the walk with him instead.

She asked him instead to distract him, "Do you think that your conjecture of the hieragraphic rune name is right?"

Ji Yuan laughed aloud, "Of course not! I was randomly guessing only. Haha…"

The Goddess Destiny was stunned, "But you are so sure in front of Maiden Shui Xisi?"

Ji Yuan chuckled softly, "That is because she sounds so sure too but she is also making a guess as me."

The Goddess Destiny: …

The two of them...

She asked again, "Since you don't know the answer, then won't we have to confront that Great Desolate Wyrm instead?"

Ji Yuan grinned to her, "That is the point, am I right?"

"What do you mean?" The Goddess Destiny asked him curiously.

Ji Yuan explained with more grins, "The whole point is to just obtain that Dark Heavens Eyes, am I right? Also, whether we can guess it right or wrong, that Divine Messenger of the Nine Abyss Realms will spare those desolate cultivators. So, all I need to do is just to defeat this Great Desolate Wyrm and to obtain the Dark Heavens Eyes. Isn't this as simple as that?"

The Goddess Destiny frowned, "You are putting yourself at risk to save those desolate cultivators? It is far easier if we join hands to defeat that Divine Messenger instead."

Ji Yuan grinned, "That is because I have a good and merciful heart…"

Xiang Li giggled immediately: That is because Big Brother likes that Demoness Empress An Xuanji and hence decides to aid her, am I right?

Anyang sighed as she muttered: Isn't this so obvious? What good and merciful heart. You can fool the Goddess Destiny but not us.

Ji Yuan immediately protested to them in his soul sea: Stop listening to my innermost thoughts. How can I even fool the two of you when the two of you are like my heart demons that can listen to my thoughts?

The Goddess Destiny looked knowingly at Ji Yuan, "Indeed you have a good heart…"

She was thinking of the time when the True Devil God had sacrificed himself to save the 6 Immortal Realms from the Dark Void Universe; the Great Beyond Goddess had told her everything.

This time round, the Goddess Destiny was determined that not to let Ji Yuan dies again.

The Great Beyond Goddess had said to her, "Ji Yuan is birthed from the purest essence of the Dark Void Universe, he may hold the key to stop this great upcoming calamity that will befall us in the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods."

When the Great Beyond Goddess had said this to her, there was a grieving look that were in her beautiful golden eyes as she slowly added. "Many of my kind have once died inside the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods."

Ji Yuan had suddenly asked the Goddess Destiny, "You are thinking about something?"

The Goddess Destiny smiled, "I was just thinking that it would be better if your conjecture is right about the hierographic runes. Then we can avoid a nasty fight with the Great Desolate Wyrm instead."

JI Yuan chuckled, "How powerful can the Great Desolate Wyrm be? Haha… I can handle him alone."

The Goddess Destiny did not know where Ji Yuan's confidence had come from as she could sense a powerful profound presence inside the Black Death Mountains.

She said to Ji Yuan softly, "Even if we can win against the Great Desolate Wyrm, aren't you worried that the Divine Messenger of the Nine Abyss Realm won't attack us? He never says he won't attack us and may take advantage of our exhausted state after the fight with the Great Desolate Wyrm to deal with us. This is killing three birds with one stone."

The Goddess Destiny was referring to the Divine Messenger obtaining the Dark Heavens Eyes, killing the Great Desolate Wyrm and their group at the same time.

Ji Yuan frowned as he began to rub his chin, "I've actually never thought this far…"
