The extremely beautiful maiden was indeed the Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen.
She was now smiling wryly to Ye Fan, "So you have heard of me."
Ye Fan slowly nodded, "I have heard of the Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen but how do I really know if you are the real Great Virtuous Saintess?"
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen: …
She felt a little insulted by this Ye Fan as she coldly said, "Have you ever seen a maiden that is as beautiful as me?"
Ye Fan nodded, "I do know one."
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen: …
"Who is she? I'd like to see how beautiful she really is!"
Ye Fan frowned, "Fairy Xuan Xueqi."
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen: …
Slowly she said, "She is in the former list of the top 6 great beauties but not anymore. She is long dead."
Then she looked at Ye Fan and frowned, "It is impossible for you to know her. Are you trying to make fun of me?
Ye Fan did not say anything to prove his words.
In his heart, his Xueqi is his most beautiful maiden.
But instead he said, "It is said that the Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen is a virtuous maiden and among her many virtues are her humble modesty as well. So she won't care about the top 6 beauties ranking or any comparisons."
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen: …
You are not me, how do you know? This top 6 great beauties of the Dragontooth Continent is the only ranking that I've cared the most.
Ye Fan said, "This Great Celestial here. It doesn't matter who you are. I am waiting for someone here…"
"Wait, wait!" The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen panicky stopped Ye Fan as she was eager to obtain the saint-step divine sword that was promised to her by the mysterious man.
"I can prove that I am the Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen."
With that, she had actually taken out the tablet and asked Ye Fan, "Extend your divine sense into my token."
Ye Fan curiously did as she had instructed and extended his divine sense into the tablet.
To his surprise, the tablet resonates with the extremely beautiful maiden and his divine sense revealed that the owner of this tablet was actually the Great Virtuous Qi Qifen and that she was from the Virtuous Saintess Palace.
This identity token was a minor profound treasure and many cultivators carried one to identify themselves and their cultivation sect.
Ye Fan was astonished that she was really the Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen as claimed.
He had already heard of her while he was walking in the city streets of Anthryl with Fairy Xuan Xueqi and Little Xuefeng.
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen was now smiling to Ye Fan, "So now, you are willing to believe me?"
She was eager for this Ye Fan to believe her because she and to fulfill 3 conditions in order to obtain the saint-step divine sword.
One. She has to convince Ye Fan that she is the Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen.
Two. She has to attempt a kiss on Ye Fan.
Three. She has to tell him that she likes him.
This was a soul agreement so she was not afraid that the mysterious man may break his promise. Also, she also got his life token and with that, she was able to locate him.
Ye Fan said to her, "Great Saintess Qi, it is my honor to know you but you can leave now."
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen: …
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen: …
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen: …
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen said with a disdain look, "You don't seem to welcome me after you have learnt who I am? Aren't you moved in your heart by my sight?"
Ye Fan smiled bitterly, "It isn't that but I am really waiting for someone. It is late now and it isn't appropriate for a great saintess with your virtuous reputation to be here alone with me in the middle of the night."
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen was not about to give up without fulfilling the second and third condition of the soul agreement. She had to obtain the saintly-step divine sword at all costs.
She said rather awkwardly, "You are so handsome. May I kiss you?"
Although she had said those words but she was also looking coldly at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was startled but he quickly said firmly, "No and I think that you are just pulling my leg. The Great Virtuous Saintess won't say such words or she won't be the Great Virtuous Saintess. Please don't make fun of me anymore."
The Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen was indeed quite relieved when Ye Fan had rejected her so quickly.
As a matter of fact, it took her plenty of courage to say mutter these words too and she wondered what if this Ye Fan would allow her to kiss him?
She smiled, "It is indeed a tease."
If Ye Fan had said yes then she would have obtained the saint-step divine sword without a need to fulfill the third condition as she would have exposed this Ye Fan as a lecherous cultivator.
Yes or no, she was not going to kiss this Ye Fan even though he was actually quite handsome.
Although she was looking quite relieved, the third condition was even more awkward for her to say.
"Ye Fan, I… like you."
Ye Fan was stunned when she had suddenly said those words to him but when he saw the disdain look that was in her eyes, he was quite relieved; it was because he had guessed that this Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen was actually trying to pull another trick on him.
"I already have a beloved. So please leave immediately."
When he had said that, Qi Qifen was smiling delightfully. "Is that so then farewell. Heehee…"
Qi Qifen was also looking quite relieved and she was smiling delightfully; she had successfully fulfilled the soul agreement and that mysterious senior must give his saintly divine sword to her.
In the concealed bushes, Fairy Xuan Xueqi was trying to suppress her jovial laughter as she said to Ji Yuan, "Papa, I think you ought to hire an actress instead. She sucks in the art of seduction."
Ji Yuan was muttering, "She is supposed to seduce Ye Fan. Why the loftiness and the disdain look. Damn this Qi Qifen… she is nothing but a great charlatan! The hearts of the cultivators are dark and treacherous indeed!"
Just like this, he had lost a saint-step divine sword to her.
Just as the Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen was about to leave delightfully, a powerful profound oppression was felt by Qi Qifen and Ye Fan.
An old man had suddenly appeared and he was grinning coldly, "So who is in this place? I seem to be in luck so it is the Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen."
Qi Yifen gasped with shock, "Old Freak Shi Dabian!"
This Old Freak Shi Dabian was a peaked great saint and he had always coveted the Great Virtuous Saintess Qi Qifen.
His cultivation sect the Peaceful Divine Temple was also a bitter enemy of the Virtuous Saintess Palace and he was from the Righteous Alliance.
