Ji Yuan saw that this Wu Yuanxi was actually a top beauty too and he had also noticed her now; there were actually many top beauties among the kneeling cultivators and he was being distracted by the bosoms and curves of the many great beauties in this place to notice her.
This Wu Yuanxi however was dressed modesty and regally. She did not try to ingratitude herself to Ji Yuan.
As Ji Yuan did not know her, he was instantly curious about this Wu Yuanxi and he had even stepped forward to walk toward her.
When he had walked to her, he saw that her head was still being bowed and he had reached his fingers to touch her chin so that he could raise her head up.
And when he did, he was astonished that this Wu Yuanxi was actually such a top beauty and she had a beautiful noble look and yet a pitiful look that could cause man to want to bully her.
And by bullying her was of course stripping her and doing what a man supposed to do.
As Ji Yuan was lifting Wu Yuanxi's chin up, he could hear the Lovely Empress saying to his other maidens. "This Ji Yuan is purposely trying to take advantage of the other beautiful maidens in this hall. He is truly a lecherous cultivator that is constantly trying to expand his harem…"
Ji Yuan: …
When he had heard the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu, his back was feeling flushed and he was secretly cursing her in his heart: Lu Jiangsu! You talk too much bad things about me! Do you believe that I will bang you until you cry to me for mercy?
But he pretended to say coolly to Wu Yuanxi instead and he had thought of something funny.
So he said to her, "Unfortunately you did not have 10 people to vouch for you and there are only two. But fortunately for you, these two are my maidens and…"
When he had said that Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were his maidens, the two of them began to fluster with great shyness but they were also greatly delighted in secret that Ji Yuan was publicly telling everyone that they were his maidens.
Even the other maidens had a look of envious when Ji Yuan had made this proclamation.
As for the thousands of cultivators in the hall, many of them were gasping with great shock as they did not know the relationship of Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing with Ji Yuan. But now that they know, many of them were astonished and were happy for them that they would have a powerful backer in the Holy Cultivation Emperor.
Ji Yuan continued to grin, "If you can answer a riddle from me then I will grant you my mercy and bestow my clemency to you."
Wu Yuanxi was stunned and she had not yet recovered her composure nor her wits when Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were pleading for her.
Moreover, she was further taken aback when Ji Yuan had suddenly walked to her and had lifted up her chin.
And she was astonished that this Ji Yuan was more beautiful looking than watching him from afar in his battle against the Holy Trinity.
She had not noticed Ji Yuan who was also the Holy Cultivation Emperor when he had entered earlier as she was very sure that she would die today.
Moreover, she knows that Yang Mi is the daughter of the White Sword Monarch and that she would never be able to escape her due punishments today.
As the saying goes, the victor decides the terms and the defeated shall concede.
Ji Yuan grinned as he savaged her beautiful looks in his mind. Without waiting to see if she would agree to answering his riddle, he chuckled. "What is this that a man got but a maiden did not have. And this thing is able to grow bigger with simulations."
Wu Yuanxi: …
Everyone: …
The White Sword Monarch almost flew into an explosive rage that Ji Yuan had just ruined his reputation as the Holy Cultivation Emperor by mouthing such a lewd riddle!
Almost everyone could not believe what they were hearing and many of the Ji Yuan's maidens had even become flustered when they remembered how Ji Yuan had banged them with his manhood.
Wu Yuanxi was especially stunned by this riddle and more so when she was staring right at Ji Yuan's crotch.
She simply refused to answer this lewd riddle that had been posed to her!
Although she was unwilling, many of the kneeling beautiful maidens began to cast a look at the Holy Cultivation Emperor as they hope that they would be asked this question instead.
This riddle was all too easy for them to answer!
And they wanted to receive the Holy Cultivation Emperor's clemency as much as anything else.
They had all though that this Wu Yuanxi would answer the riddle immediately.
Ji Yuan growled when he saw that this Wu Yuanxi was staring at him like a stone and refusing to answer his riddle.
So he asked her, "Do you know the answer or not?"
Wu Yuanxi mustered her pride to say, "You can kill me but not dishonor me!"
When she had said that, many of the kneeling maidens were secretly mocking her in their hearts. For a depraved harlot like Wu Yuanxi to say such a thing as having honor was like the funniest thing that they had ever heard.
Even the kneeling men were also mocking her in secret.
Many of the kneeling cultivators were cursing her in their hearts: Just answer this riddle and you will receive a clemency from the Holy Cultivation Emperor!
Ji Yuan warned Wu Yuanxi, "If you don't answer my riddle then you will have to die. So think twice first."
But still Wu Yuanxi refused to answer Ji Yuan and she would rather die to maintain a sense of dignity in her last days.
Ji Yuan was astonished that this Wu Yuanxi would choose death rather than answer such a simple riddle.
So he said, "In this case, I shall not grant you my mercy."
And when he had said that, he began to walk away.
Wu Yuanxi continued to maintain her dignity and she did not feel woeful that she is going to die when she saw that Ji Yuan had walked away.
But many of the kneeling cultivators were cursing her foolishness for giving up this one last chance to live.
Although Ji Yuan had walked away and he had proclaimed his sentence on this Wu Yuanxi, he was actually just watching her reactions and he did not really want to kill her since Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing had interceded for her.
But that would have to wait for later.
He was actually impressed by this Wu Yuanxi and he thought that she may have some redeeming qualities that would cause Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing to intercede for her.
All of a sudden, an old cultivator that was kneeling began to cry out shamelessly. "Your Holy Cultivation Emperor! If I can answer this riddle then will you allow me to live? I know the answer to this riddle!"
He had quickly taken the opportunity to call out to Ji Yuan immediately because he wanted to live very badly.
