Yuan Ji never told Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan that he was almost whipped to death while he had first visited the Celestial Orthodox Sect. He just told them because he was so charming that the maidens of the Celestial Orthodox Sect were unwilling to whip him.
Even the two saintesses from the Hundred Flower Divine Palace had also fallen into his charms and hence they risked everything to help him.
He ended the story with Xue Qianxue and Ling Feiyue trapping him on top of a mountain, threatening him to take them as his consorts or he would never be able to leave the mountain.
He was forced to end his story earlier than he had intended because it was getting quite late and he was supposed to talk to everyone in a little while.
This 'little while' actually lasted quite a long while.
