Ji Yuan soon found himself in a dark spatial space.

By now he was all familiar with this dark spatial space as the place for him to claim his trial rewards.

A gentle feminine voice said slowly. "You are the first cultivator to have overcome this trial. Based on your contribution for this trial, you also have the most contribution hence you shall claim the best reward. Because of you, all the others will also pass the trial…"

Ji Yuan protested quickly with a thunderous shout. "Wait a minute! This trial doesn't count at all! There shall be no exchange with Xiang Li to overcome this trial. I want you to destroy the spirit tree immediately."

Xiang Li popped out of Ji Yuan's soul sea as she returned a shock look. "But why Big Brother? We've won! We have won!!!"

Ji Yuan turned to Xiang Li to say solemnly. "I want to win through my own efforts and not because of you or the others. This Cai Bisheng really got me even before the challenge starts. I've nothing to say about this. A real man is someone that can accept defeats gracefully and we don't have to win all the time."

Then he sighed heavily. "Not at your expenses, Xiang Li."

Xiang Li asked curiously. "I didn't have to do anything…"

Ji Yuan was already shouting loudly. "There shall be no exchange. This trial is voided!"

The gentle feminine voice answered. "There is actually no exchange. I'm just helping Fairy Xiang'xiang Li'mu'er, that's all."

"You know Xiang Li?" Ji Yuan asked curiously and he had also turned to look at Xiang Li.

Xiang Li had a blank expression as she muttered. "I don't know this trial spirit!"

The gentle feminine voice answered melancholy. "Fairy Xiang'xiang Li'mu'er will never remember anything that is pertaining to her past. As a matter of fact, she will soon forget about this conversation as soon as her past is mentioned…"

Xiang Li protested immediately. "Who says so? I've a good memory!"

The gentle feminine voice said with great melancholy. "It is an eternal curse that can't be removed no matter how many cycles that she has been reborn. Fairy Xiang'xiang Li'mu'er is doomed to lead a sad eternal life of which she can't remember her past because she merely exists to help her masters to achieve their objectives."

Ji Yuan hummed coldly. "Xiang Li is never a tool and I don't want to use her to fulfill any objective of mine."

Xiang Li nodded as she raised her fists angrily. "What are you talking about? Big Brother will never use me as a tool!"

The gentle feminine voice paused briefly before she echoed. "Your soul link with Fairy Xiang'xiang Li'mu'er is still strongly bonded. This really isn't your wish to win the challenge?"

"I'll be damned if this is my wish." Ji Yuan said with great indignant.

"This…this is Fairy Xiang'xiang Li'mu'er own wish…" The gentle feminine voice appeared to be startled.

Ji Yuan said firmly. "So can you void the trial results? I don't want anything to happen to Xiang Li. I will get a big headache if she turns into a loli again."

"The result of the trial won't be voided. It is because it is also my own wish to help Fairy Xiang'xiang Li'mu'er." The gentle feminine voice slowly echoed.

Ji Yuan was startled. "Huh? Why are you helping us? Erm, I mean why are you helping Xiang Li?"

The gentle feminine voice had a soft sigh before replying. "Don't you know that she is the greatest spirit in the Three Known Realms? She is the goddess that is above all the trial spirits and spirit entities. She is the first immortal spirit. Sadly, she cannot remember anything."

Xiang Li protested. "I always remember…"

"You will soon forget about this." The gentle feminine voice echoed melancholy. "You are our true goddess but you are cursed to experience the cycles of life and death over and over again because you are the daughter of the great beyond goddess."

"I am Xiang Li." Xiang Li laughed softly.

The gentle feminine replied. "Because of who she is, I am willing to grant Fairy Xiang'xiang Li'mu'er her wish as long as it is within my ability to accomplish."

"So there is no exchange?" Ji Yuan asked to confirm his doubts.

"There will be no exchange." f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

The gentle feminine voice sighed before continuing. "I should not be revealing too much because I don't know if you're a good or a bad person. It is my misguided mistake earlier that caused me to believe that you have been granted a wish and I've actually revealed too much. My only existence here is just to oversee the trials. Therefore I shall grant you your reward…"

"Wait a minute!" Ji Yuan said all of a sudden.

"What is it?" The gentle feminine voice asked.

Ji Yuan immediately answered. "I just have a wager with another cultivator. He has promised me his celestial sword should I win the wager. And it seems that I've won the wager. I want his celestial sword."

There was a pause before the gentle feminine voice echoed. "I'm afraid that I can't help you because I cannot forcefully remove another cultivator's divine sword."

Ji Yuan asked. "Am I the first cultivator to obtain the reward?"

"Naturally you're. All the others are waiting behind you." The gentle feminine voice said.

Ji Yuan smiled weakly. "Maybe some cultivators are not as fussy as me and they are able to obtain their rewards earlier than me?"

"Time works differently here. You can take as long as you like to decide but only a blink of an eye will pass and you will still be the first to decide your reward." The gentle feminine voice replied.

Ji Yuan was grinning all of a sudden. "Didn't you say that you want to help Xiang Li? Do you know that Xiang Li will be so sad if I didn't get my deserved trophy after I've won my challenge?"

Xiang Li nodded as she pretended to be really angry. "Indeed I will be very sad! Not just sad but extremely upset as well!"

The gentle feminine voice echoed weakly. "I've never met anyone like you before. Are you trying to bargain with me?"

Ji Yuan grinned. "Surely you have also heard of our wager. You are the trial spirit after all. Are you going to let something so unfair to happen in your trial?"

The gentle feminine voice sighed weakly. "So what do you propose then?"

Ji Yuan rubbed his chin as he looked at Xiang Li. "I want to take my vendetta naturally…"
