The Lovely Empress had suddenly said to Ji Yuan, “Wait here for me.”

Ji Yuan: ???

The Lovely Empress did not reply to Ji Yuan’s perplexed look but she had walked to the naked Ye Jing and all of a sudden there was a profound light.

Ji Yuan was startled for the Lovely Empress had dissipated the fake Ye Jing with her profound force.

Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu heaved a soft sigh, “This avatar is my wrongdoing… rest in peace…”

Ji Yuan sighed softly as he displayed a weird look at the ‘death’ of the goddess in his heart. This bust his bubble of banging the Great Heroine Ye now…

Even Xiang Li was muttering weakly: Our bubbles are bust now…

Anyang frowned: She isn’t even real in the first place.

Ji Yuan was suddenly on high alert as he quickly turned around, “There is someone else who is in this passage!”

A beautiful shadow could be seen emerging from the darkness of the passage and she was the Smiling Divine Maiden.

The Lovely Empress gasped when she saw her sister, “Sister Lixue, you are also here…”

When the Smiling Divine Maiden had appeared, she was like an enchanting light that lit the place with her charming presence.

The Smiling Divine Maiden smiled alluringly, “Little Sister Jiangsu, I have finally found you at last and it seems that our plans can still be carried out after all. This Ji Yuan does not have much profound strength now after using three miracle sword arts. This is our chance to kill him now.”

She had naturally used the Spirit Divination Compass to track down the Lovely Empress.

Ji Yuan was smiling bitterly now because what she had said was true. Moreover, she had also concealed herself so well that that he was not able to sense her. That would mean that she had already seen his trump cards.

The Smiling Divine Maiden smiled with great loveliness, “Ji Yuan, even if you can really run, you won’t be able to run away from me.”

Ji Yuan asked her instead, “You have managed to run away from Gu Sangu? How?”

The Smiling Divine Maiden slowly nodded but there was a hint of unpleasantness in her golden eyes, “I am afraid that there is a big possibility that he may be dead by now.”

Ji Yuan was startled, “Who can kill that monster?”

The Lovely Empress was also startled, “Vice Steward Gu Sangu will be defeated?”

The Smiling Divine Maiden nodded lightly, “It is because we had met a more terrifying monster in this maze.”

The lovely Empress was blinking her shocked eyes, “Who can be stronger than Gu Sangu and my Sister Lixue here?”

The Smiling Divine Maiden slowly said, “That old freak is back.”

The Lovely Empress took two steps back and she was truly shocked, “Really?”

“Let’s discuss this later. But first, we have to kill Ji Yuan.” The Smiling Divine Maiden had walked forward and she was monitoring Ji Yuan keenly.

The Lovely Empress had suddenly stepped in front of Ji Yuan, “This is most unfair to Ji Yuan if we were to take him out when he was at his most vulnerable. Also, he did come to our aid earlier, am I right? Or else we won’t be talking now.”

The Smiling Divine Maiden was startled to see the Lovely Empress suddenly defending Ji Yuan, “You have only been with him for a while and you are already defending him?! Have you forgotten that he is our mortal enemy? The purpose of us coming down inside the arena trial is simply to kill him or else why should we expend so much effort in doing so?”

She was not only saying to the Lovely Empress but she was also saying it to Ji Yuan. She had wanted to shock Ji Yuan with this revelation but from his nonchalant look, it seemed that he had already known about it.

The Lovely Empress answered softly, “Sister Lixue, I…”

She was trembling all of a sudden and was lowering her head before she lifted her delighting golden eyes to say firmly. “Yes. I have wanted to kill Ji Yuan before this but now I don’t want him to die. I am willing to go back to explain to master.”

Then she quickly turned to say to Ji Yuan with pleading eyes, “As long as Ji Yuan can promise us that he won’t oppose or lift his fingers against our master the Death God Mingwang, can we let him go?”

“What? You even let him know the name of our master?!” The Smiling Divine Maiden was shocked and her smiles had ceased.

Ji Yuan thought that it was impossible not to lift his fingers on Yun Chi and that it was also very hard to agree with Yun Chi all the time so there may still be a little opposing. So he quickly said, “I am willing to make an oath with my soul sea that I won’t be an enemy of the Death God Mingwang. Do you think that this is even better?”

The Lovely Empress was startled as she looked at Ji Yuan, “Really?!”

She had not expected Ji Yuan to say that and that he was willing to drop his feud with the Death God Mingwang. Was it because he had been touched by her?

Ji Yuan smiled weakly, “Really.”

The Lovely Empress was now saying to the Smiling Divine Maiden, “Sister Lixue, what do you say?”

The Smiling Divine Maiden displayed a hesitant look, “He is lying. Our master has treated him like a mortal enemy. If our master wants to kill him then is he going to stand there and let our master kills him? Can he still make such an oath in the name of the Great Beyond Goddess?”

Ji Yuan answered with a stupefied look that was displayed more on himself than with the others, “If I can make such an oath and I won’t retaliate against him then you will let me live?”

He had no wish to fight against Yun Chi’s protégés. Even though he may not have his full profound strength back but deep inside him, he was itching for a fight but because of Yun Chi, he had decided to suppress his fighting will.

The Smiling Divine Maiden sighed softly, “After I had met that old freak today, I seem to have lost some of my usual killing intentions. Very well, if you can make the oath then I shall spare you today.”

The Lovely Empress was delighted as she grabbed Ji Yuan, “Quick! Make the oath!”𝑛𝑜𝓋𝓔𝐋𝞰𝗲xt.𝑐𝗈𝓜

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, “In the sacred name of the Great Beyond Goddess, I, Ji Yuan swears by your name that I will not be an enemy of the Death God Mingwang. Even if he wants to kill me, I shall allow him to slay me…uh… erm… is this alright?”

The Smiling Divine Maiden had a pleased look as she smiled beguilingly, “Remember what you have said or your soul sea will suffer a backlash. My master is a vengeful master and there is no promise that he will spare your life. But for now, you are safe in our company.”

Ji Yuan could only weakly nod as he thought: Well, Yun Chi will never kill me right?

Xiang Li giggled: Unless you make her angry enough.

Anyang was nodding: Did our lord makes her angry?

Ji Yuan laughed and said to Anyang: Well, never! Haha…

He did not know that right now Yun Chi felt like strangling him for not listening to her.
