Xu Yifei said to a female follower, "It is quite inappropriate for Ji Yuan's painting to be displayed in my tavern alone. Tomorrow, have an escort ready to take the painting to the Divine Temple where it will be displayed as a valuable legacy for the future generations. But for now, you are dismissed and so is the rest."
Her order and dismissal were quickly acknowledged.
As for the rest of the other 4 divine consorts, they had also dismissed all their followers, leaving only the 5 of them to look at the drunken Ji Yuan who was still babbling in the banquet seat.
Xu Yifei then erected an anti-sound barrier around them so that their conversations would be secret.
Once they were all secured from scrying, Sun Dingjun pretended to ask innocently as she giggled. "So, shall we ask Ji Yuan who he wants to escort him back to his room? Just thinking about this makes me flush, flush with shyness."
When she had said that, the other 4 divine consorts Xu Yifei, Tang Manni, Dongfang Xin and Ding Jie'Er gave her an awkward look; it was obvious that this was not the question that they wanted to ask Ji Yuan but Sun Dingjun was only trying to bait them by pretending to be as innocent as possible.
Ding Jie'Er reacted the quickest as she was already quite used to Sun Dingjun's antics since they were close friends and sisters.
She giggled softly, "Then why don't Sister Divine Consort Dingjun asks Ji Yuan for us?"
Sun Dingjun smiled weakly as she looked at Xu Yifei, "I am only a guest here and I am not the host or the highest ranking noble here."
She had immediately thrown the ball to Xu Yifei's yard now.
"I am not the one who have thought of this," Xu Yifei smiled weakly before she looked awkwardly at her Sister Tang Manni and Dongfang Xin.
This left Tang Manni and Dongfang Xin to look at each other awkwardly now and they were both thinking of the same thing: why don't you ask Ji Yuan first?
Tang Manni looked at everyone with a sigh, "Ji Yuan promises to give us all a proper accounting after he is back from the Spiritas Tower. Maybe we should ask him when he is more sober?" (See Chapter 863)
Dongfang Xin saw that Tang Manni was still hesitating so she laughed softly as she walked next to Ji Yuan before bending down to whisper to the drunken Ji Yuan, "Divine Lord Ji Yuan…"
All of a sudden Ji Yuan had grabbed her and pulled her tightly toward him and he was frowning, "What Divine Lord Ji Yuan? Call me Ji Yuan instead!"
Dongfang Xin was startled and she was flustered when Ji Yuan had suddenly pulled her to him and he was even wrapping her waist to stroke her back.
The other 4 divine consorts were also startled too when they saw that Ji Yuan had outraged Dongfang Xin's modesty but at the same time, they were hoping that they were the ones that Ji Yuan was embracing now instead of Dongfang Xin.
Dongfang Xin gasped shyly, "Do you know who I am?"
Ji Yuan raised his fingers to shake in her face, "Who you are, isn't important. The most important is, we must drink to our hearts' content."
Dongfang Xin turned to look at the other 4 divine consorts with a weak smile, "I think he is totally drunk now. Do you agree with me?"
All 4 of the divine consorts slowly nodded…
Ji Yuan certainly looked extremely drunk now and he had even dared to outrage Dongfang Xin's modesty.
He was now saying with a grin as he stared at Dongfang Xin with his reddened face, "You really have a nice bosoms, you know. Haha… Can I touch you?"
Dongfang Xin: …
Xu Yifei, Tang Manni, Ding Jie'Er, Sun Dingjun: …
Dongfang Xin laughed softly to Ji Yuan, "I am afraid that I can't let you touch me there but I can…"
When she had said that, she had suddenly kissed Ji Yuan on his cheek.
This startled and shocked the 4 other divine consorts; the Dongfang Xin that they know well was the cold and lofty divine consort. Moreover she was known to be nasty toward the men and they all thought that she would never kiss anyone in public especially in front of them.
But they were all wrong.
She had.
Tang Manni looked a little unhappy as she went to the other side of Ji Yuan as well and she had also kissed him on the other cheek.
This stunned Dongfang Xin and the other 3 divine consorts.
The most surprised was naturally Xu Yifei herself for Tang Manni is her sister.
Tang Manni explained with a soft chuckle as she looked at Dongfang Xin, "You have kissed him on one side and it is only fair that I can kiss him on the other side. Right?"
She was actually flustered when she had said so and was also looking at how Ji Yuan would react.
However Ji Yuan continued to look stupor and he was even grabbing Tang Manni intimately toward him as he sniffed her, "Maiden, you give off such a nice heavenly scent…"
When Tang Manni heard his praises for her, she was flushing and she did not push him away. Not even when he started to stroke her back as well.
Instead, she asked him, "Ji Yuan, do you know who I am?"
Ji Yuan tried to focus his eyes on her but he saw many split images of a hazy maiden, "You are my maiden of course. Do I need to know who you are?"
"I am… your maiden…" Tang Manni was overwhelmed by what Ji Yuan had just told her and her eyes were bleary. "Really… is that what you really think?"
She had suddenly remembered that Ji Yuan had told her that he loved her before he had entered the Spiritas Tower (Chapter 862).
And she really loved Ji Yuan and she wanted to be with him…
Xiang Li who was secretly watching in Ji Yuan's soul sea was feeling quite awkward but she was also quite delightful at the same time.
Anyang frowned to her: Why are you so excited? They are kissing our lord and not you…
Ding Jie'Er had suddenly stepped forward and she was looking with bleary eyes at Ji Yuan, "Yuan Beluga, do you love me?"
Ji Yuan laughed jovially, "Of course I love you!"
Ding Jie'Er refused to believe it and she slowly put her hands on his cheeks, "Do you know who I am?"
Ji Yuan stared blankly at her for a while before he grinned, "Of course I do. You are my Little Jie'Er."
Ding Jie'Er gasped as she covered her mouth, "You do, recognize me?"
Sun Dingjun was startled as she walked to Ji Yuan and asked, "Divine Lord Ji Yuan… do you know me?"
"Of course I know you! You are Sun Dingjun and you are so beautiful today. Haha…" Ji Yuan answered her with jovial laughter and at the same time, his hands were not honest with Tang Manni and Dongfang Xin.
Xu Yifei weakly said, "I think that Master Ji Yuan is really drunk and he may not know what he is saying or doing. Let's carry him back to his room first…"
"No, I'm not drunk!" Ji Yuan interrupted her, "You are… Xu… Yifei… am I right?" He had hesitated as he was trying to focus on the splitting images of Xu Yifei in front of him until he was finally able to recognize her.
Tang Manni interrupted him shyly, "Master Ji Yuan, actually... which one of us here do you like the most? Or don't like?"
Ji Yuan grinned blankly, "I like all five of you here... hahaha..."
All 5 of the divine consorts were gasping with shock, "Really..."
Then Ji Yuan grinned to them, "I see five maidens here. Why don't the five of you help me to my room and then we can have a little chat?"
When Ji Yuan had said that, all 5 divine consorts answered almost at the same time in varying degrees of shyness. "Alright…"
