Only Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er were both horrified that they could not hear the full account of Ji Yuan's story.
The Spiritas has a different concept of time as they live longer. So for Tang Manni and Little Jie'Er, they did not feel that Ji Yuan was being long winded and that he was trusting them so he was entrusting his story to them.
Ji Yuan was horrified that he had been given only 1 hour and how was he going to finish his story in just 1 hour?
This was more impossible than fighting the Great Demon God Hong Meng…
He muttered weakly, "You know. If it isn't because of my great idea to shake off our pursuer, we may well still be followed. I feel so bad for the stupid pursuer that has been following us…"
Then he chuckled as he emphasized, "Super Stupid Pursuer that has been following us but failed..."
Little Princess interrupted Ji Yuan with an exasperated look, "Ji Yuan, can you talk about how you have met Xu Yifei's group and why she is now alone with you? And Bai Qianfeng as well."
Ji Yuan stared at her blankly as he muttered, "That's a long story…"
"You have only 1 hour to do so." The Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue warned him sternly.
Little Princess and the Lovely Empress were both also looking sternly at him as they nodded.
Ji Yuan: …

Floating somewhere in the heaven of the Endless Celestial Fraternity were two maidens.
The fact that they were able to float indicated that they were both immortals.
In fact, these two immortals had been following Ji Yuan's profound ship for some time until their profound mark had disappeared.
These two immortals were actually Ding Xiaoxiao and the Immortal Fairy Lucia.
It was Ding Xiaoxiao that had left her profound mark on Ji Yuan's profound ship and she had been following him for a distance.
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled coldly to the Immortal Fairy Lucia, "So that idiot Ji Yuan has finally discovered my profound mark and has removed it."
The Immortal Fairy Lucia asked gently, "So, what should we do now?"
Ding Xiaoxiao chuckled softly as she pointed to the opposite side where she had lost track of Ji Yuan's profound ship. "The Holy Cultivation Palace is at the opposite side. So, we should go there. This means that we are actually far ahead of him."
The Immortal Fairy Lucia asked curiously, "I don't understand. Why is Ji Yuan going in the opposite direction?"
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, "He is trying to shake us off, that's why."
When she had explained it to the Immortal Fairy Lucia, she had suddenly realized that it may be so; she did not understand the ways of the humans as she is a born immortal and she lacks the subtlety of the celestial cultivators.
The Immortal Fairy Lucia asked Ding Xiaoxiao, "You don't want to meet him? You are not curious why he is here?"
Ding Xiaoxiao blinked her crimson eyes as she looked at the Immortal Fairy Lucia before she muttered, "Maybe later. But now that he is here, they should be safe."
As she said that, she was looking at the distant horizon where Ji Yuan's profound ship had disappeared.
It was actually Ding Xiaoxiao that had chuckled that day when Ji Yuan was requesting for his profound treasure at that time.
Ding Xiaoxiao was contended to follow Ji Yuan and his group secretly but she could not resist a chuckle when Ji Yuan had so shamelessly asked for a profound treasure to be bestowed to him.
She was a little speechless when she had heard him that day and could not resist a small chuckle which accidentally caused her to be almost found out by Ji Yuan.
Little Princess, the Smiling Divine Maiden, the Lovely Empress, Zhi Jiugong, Little Jie'Er and Tang Manni did not know that they had been followed by Ding Xiaoxiao and the Immortal Fairy Lucia ever since they had left the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect.
By all appearances, Ding Xiaoxiao looked indifferent when they were leaving for the Endless Celestial Fraternity but she had actually been followed them all this while.
And with her was the Immortal Fairy Lucia as well as the two of them had become close friends during their stay in the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect.
The two of them were immortals and they had more common than the rest of Ji Yuan's maidens.
Also, Yun Chi had said to her Sister Ding Xiaoxiao after she had learnt of her decision to follow Little Princess, the Smiling Divine Maiden and their group. "Even if you did not look for me to tell me about your decision, I would have looked for you too to request that you follow them to take care of them."
The reason why Ding Xiaoxiao had followed them instead of joining them was because she was a solitary person and she felt uncomfortable to be in a group.
And like her, the Immortal Fairy Lucia was a maiden with few words too. Maybe that was why they had clicked more than the others.
The Immortal Fairy Lucia saw that Ding Xiaoxiao was suddenly smiling to herself so she asked her, "What are you thinking about?"
Ding Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, "I am thinking how Ji Yuan will react once he has realized that it is actually us that are following him."
The Immortal Fairy Lucia chuckled too, "Maybe he will regret for being too smart to shake us off."
Then she chuckled again which drawn Ding Xiaoxiao to ask her why, "Why did you laugh again?"
The Immortal Fairy Lucia lowered her glances to say, "I just find it funny that he had crashed his profound ships 3 times just so that he will appear awesome in front of his maidens."
Ding Xiaoxiao laughed softly when she had heard her, "Same here as well..."
