Ding Xiaoxiao had already stepped in front of Ji Yuan as she raised her long scabbard in front as she coldly said, "If you dare to take one step in front then don't blame me for taking action against you."
The Goddess Zhen Ying was actually taking steps to attack Ji Yuan once again when she received Ding Xiaoxiao's warnings and she had halted her steps immediately; it was because she knows of Ding Xiaoxiao's reputation and had hesitated.
Ji Yuan quickly stopped Ding Xiaoxiao from moving forward as he caught hold of her left shoulder, "Wait a minute! This must be a misunderstanding. Surely, we can talk over this…"
But before he could finish his words, the Goddess Zhen Ying hummed coldly as she took flight to the sky while issuing her warnings in mid-air. "Ji Yuan, I won't forget about our feud!"
Ji Yuan: ???
As he watched the Goddess Zhen Ying disappeared in the horizon, he gave a perplexed look to his maidens. "I really don't remember having a feud with her. Moreover, she is my best friend Tie Bawang's consort…"
Little Princess and the Lovely Empress were suddenly giggling behind Ji Yuan and he frowned as he turned his head back, "What is so funny?"
The Lovely Empress chuckled, "You really think it is a feud that is between the two of you? If it is, then she won't guard your rear when you were fighting against the three desolate immortals earlier. She can easily take you down when you are being overwhelmed."
Ji Yuan began to blink his golden eyes and he was frowning, "Then why did she attack me earlier?"
Little Princess rolled her golden eyes before she smiled mesmerizingly, "Maybe she wants to leave a lasting impression of her in your heart?"
Ji Yuan: ???
When the Smiling Divine Maiden heard Little Princess, she was suddenly sighing with realization while Ding Xiaoxiao, the Immortal Fairy Lucia and Xu Yifei were still as perplexed as Ji Yuan.
As for the Lovely Empress, she was giggling softly to herself and suppressing her chuckles.
Ji Yuan frowned as he looked at the giggling Lovely Empress, "Why don't you tell me what you know instead of mocking me?"
The Lovely Empress displayed a playful wink at Ji Yuan as she gave him a lovely smile, "I am not going to tell you! Not ever!"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He quickly protested, "Do you want to hear my story between the two of us? After hearing, you will surely believe that I am truly innocent of what you are thinking."
When he had said that, he was also frowning in the direction of the giggling Lovely Empress, the Smiling Divine Maiden and Little Princess who gave him a look of great disbelief.
Even Ding Xiaoxiao was saying coldly to him, "Then hurry and tell us. You have only 3 incense time to tell us the entire story."
Ji Yuan quickly protested, "3 incense time is like only 30 minutes…"
But when he had caught a look of Ding Xiaoxiao's stare, he began to protest a little weakly by saying. "I mean I have just lost my heart and is dying. You can't force a dying man to speak faster than that…"
The Smiling Divine Maiden interrupted him as she hummed coldly, "Little rascal, hurry before I stab you with my sword."
Ji Yuan: …
He muttered a protest, "My senior sister is too fierce. Other than me, no other men will want you…"
"Ji Yuan!!!" The Smiling Divine Maiden flickered her fingers to shoot him a blast of sword energies bursts.
Ji Yuan quickly neutralized the sword bursts with his fingers as he took a step back, "Alright, alright…."
Then he began to tell his innocent bear stories with Tie Bawang to the maidens.
After a while, even Xu Yufei and the Immortal Fairy Lucia were looking at Ji Yuan with great disbelief.
Ji Yuan said with great indignant when he had finally finished his story, "So, do you all believe me now that I am completely innocent? What did I do wrong except for some careless remarks?"
Due to Ding Xiaoxiao staring at him for cheating her feelings that he was dying, he quickly finished his epic giga bear stories rather quickly. (See Chapter 1379)
One by one, the maidens looked at Ji Yuan, including Xu Yifei who was the last to say to him. "I don't believe your story."
Xu Yifei said rather awkwardly, "Master Ji Yuan, are you hiding your story from us? This doesn't look like the whole story."
The Lovely Empress was humming rather sarcastically, "Of course he is hiding the true story from us. Why do you think that Goddess Zhen Ying will call him a great charlatan then?"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
For the very first time, Ji Yuan felt truly very wronged by the maidens and he wanted to protest that he was not a charlatan, "Look, I am not a great charlatan but a truly righteous man…"
Little Princess chuckled softly, "Ji Yuan, you have just tricked us into giving you our precious profound energies earlier. You are the one that are being exhausted from your fight and you are thinking of exhausting us as well. Are you sure that you are not a great charlatan at all?"
When she had said that, the other maidens including Xu Yifei were all nodding too and some of the maidens like Ding Xiaoxiao and the Smiling Divine Maiden were even looking quite coldly at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan quickly said with an awkward look to everyone, "Wait!!! This I can really explain! I REALLY thought that I was dying just now… Hahaha…"
