The Smiling Divine Maiden, Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress had indeed taken Ji Yuan and his group to a distant mountain that was in the east, far from Bliss City.
When they had said that it was an underground city below Bliss City, it was not exactly under Bliss City.
It actually took them 2 hours to get there even when they were in almost full throttle and it was approximately 200 miles away.
Along the way, the Lovely Empress was constantly striking a conversation with Ji Yuan and it was obvious to Ling Feiyue and the rest of the maidens in Ji Yuan's group that the Lovely Empress was interested in Ji Yuan.
And Ji Yuan did not shy away from the Lovely Empress either and he was constantly laughing along with her.
During the time in the arena trials, they had already grown very comfortable with each other.
