All the maidens know that Ji Yuan was being delusional but they did not dare to expose this thin veil to Ji Yuan as this was Ji Yuan's only hope.
Ji Yuan had claimed to all of them that he would see his Jiajia again when he goes to the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods and that the Great Beyond Goddess would not lie to him.
Maybe the Great Beyond Goddess would simply show him a piece of memory from Xia Jiajia and then said suprise to Ji Yuan.
The dead would not revive, not even the immortals.
No one other than Ji Yuan believe that he would see his Jiajia again.
Not even Shui Xisi, her real sister from the same mother consort.
But everyone was saying to Ji Yuan that he would see his Jiajia soon and they were all hoping to see Jiajia real soon.
That was a lie.
A lie to Ji Yuan.
And Ji Yuan actually believes their lies.
Not even Bai Qianfeng believes that Ji Yuan would be seeing his Jiajia again.
Bai Qianfeng was now saying everyone, "Let's toast this cup to Ji Yuan and we shall wish him all the best in trying to cultivate the Divine Philosopher Stone."
Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue were both raising their cups, "That's right."
Everyone else began to follow suit.
Destiny raised her cup the slowest as she sipped her cup; she was a slow drinker and moreover, her cup was actually hot tea and not wine as she prefers tea to wine.
And sipping tea makes her feel more human than being a god beast, rather than gulping her drinks down and it gives her a sense of table manners.
In a way, Destiny was more human than anyone else.
Shui Xisi sighed heavily as she said aloud, "Ji Yuan will probably be vomiting blood if he knows that we are toasting to him but he is unable to drink anything."
Ling Feiyue nodded, "Ji Yuan always like to drink. But he has to cultivate. But I still feel bad about forcing him to cultivate. What if we are wrong to force him to do so?"
Xu Yifei quietly said, "I just hope that he doesn't get any deviation fire. It is alright even if he doesn't succeed."
Xue Qianxue sighed, "Ji Yuan is actually right. It is impossible to ask him to cultivate upon the Divine Philosopher Stone to make it into his profound treasure in a matter of few months. This may even take him thousands of years for it is a true divinity profound treasure. Aren't we too harsh to him?"
An Xuanji said, "Maybe Ji Yuan is a genius cultivator and he can do it?"
Bai Qianfeng weakly said but there was also a subtle exasperated smile too, "He always claimed to be a genius but he is actually weak in cultivating. He just can't sit still at all."
Shui Xisi sighed too, "You know. I've read my Sister Feifei's diary. Do you all know that he is supposed to spend 100 years in a closed door cultivation retreat to cultivate to become a saint but he only started to cultivate after 90 years had passed?"
Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue were both astonished, "What is it? This is a heaven-defying secret that he has never told us."
Ling Feiyue was also giggling softly when she had heard this; this was a new piece of good gossip that she did not know.
Shui Xisi said, "I was also surprised too when I had read my Sister Feifei's diary. He just cannot sit still and he went off to the desolate mists during those years that he supposed to be cultivating."
Bai Qianfeng said weakly, "Why am I not surprised to hear this?"
Ling Feiyue smiled bitterly, "Suddenly, I got a feeling that he is chatting with Xiang Li and Anyang rather than cultivating at this moment."
Shui Xisi sighed, "Let's call him the True Lazy God Ji Yuan instead of the True Devil God Ji Yuan…"
All of a sudden, an immortal cultivator had suddenly stumbled into the great hall and he was gasping panicky as he looked at the Philosopher Goddess, "Your Philosopher Goddess, bad news! You must come immediately. Rockzilla has awakened and I am afraid that we can't stop this monster. Already, the border citadel has been destroyed and Rockzilla is coming our way!"
The Philosopher Goddess gasped with shock and she had turned ashen as she looked at the Abyssal Null Goddess and Destiny, "This is trouble…"
Bai Qianfeng asked her, "What is this Rockzilla?"
The Philosopher Goddess quickly replied, "It is a powerful profound beast of the Nine Abyss Realms and it is like a fearsome calamity to us. It is extremely difficult to tame and we can only hope to drive it away each time. It is a true monster of the Nine Abyss Realms …"
Then she looked at Destiny and Bai Qianfeng with panicky looks, "And also we have not regained our profound strength yet from the battle with the Iron Mountain Immortal Tie Da. This can't be a worst timing."
Destiny asked curiously, "Is this Rockzilla powerful?"
The Humanoid Natas had clearly overheard them and he was patting his chest heartily as he was trying to impress Destiny, "Leave this Rockzilla to me! With me around, no one is going to reach this palace."
The Philosopher Goddess smiled weakly at the Humanoid Natas, "I am afraid that you may be lacking in front of this Rockzilla."
The Humanoid Natas roared with jovial laughter, "I am the Great Desolate Wyrm Natas. When I've transformed into my true form, there is nothing that I will fear."
And he was secretly grinning: And it is time for me to impress all the maidens with my strength. Hopefully the Goddess Destiny will take a look at me…
