Ji Yuan was actually prepared to suck his thumb to burn his golden talisman and to say good bye to all his Trust Points with the divine consorts when he could not defeat Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao.
He may not be able to defeat her now but it did not mean in the future, he would not be able to defeat her.
It was exactly as Xiang Li and Anyang had suggested, a hero can live to fight another day.
When the Goddess Ai Tina had made a sudden attack upon Number 1 Xiaoxiao, he was startled and he had stepped in to block the special soul attack talisman for her.
The reason why Ji Yuan had blocked the special soul attack talisman from Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was not because he was kind or because he was attracted by her peerless beauty but because they were still having their duel and this sudden attack had crossed his bottom line with his martial honor.
