Chapter 46: "Great Xia's Twelve Handsome Men"
Chapter 46: "Great Xia's Twelve Handsome Men"
"Fat Dragon."
"Hmm."
"You've had a tough few months."
"It's not too bad."
Fat Dragon shook his head, his expression unreadable, and said, "I've always said that only those who don't believe in their future strength would feel humiliated by yesterday's kneeling."
"It doesn't matter."
"These setbacks are necessary experiences on my path to greatness. It's the Heavenly Dao's way of testing me."
Chen Qiu nodded complexly and didn't say anything further. It was undeniable that Fat Dragon had an excellent mindset. Most people, after experiencing such a series of unfortunate events upon transmigrating, would likely have some mental instability. But when Chen Qiu first met Fat Dragon, he was still thinking about stealing his pork head meat.
Fat Dragon truly had a carefree attitude.
"By the way—"
Chen Qiu looked towards a woman surrounded by several young men in the distance. His brows furrowed slightly as these young men didn't give him a good impression. They tightly guarded Ma Yinxue in the center, and their eyes were filled with hostility towards the other men around.
It was as if they feared the appearance of more rivals.
"What's the effect of Ma Yinxue's beauty?"
"It allows her husband to be favored by the Heavenly Dao, enabling him to transcend the restrictions of the Celestial Path Secret Realm and advance his cultivation by three minor realms. Additionally, he will randomly obtain two timed entries."
"I understand."
Chen Qiu nodded thoughtfully, "Is there a beauty ranking for men?"
"There's no male beauty ranking."
"The beauty ranking includes men. According to the intelligence I gathered recently, there are twelve men on the list. These men are also considered Heavenly Beauties, but the ranking is updated in real-time, so it's uncertain if there are still twelve at present."
"Once someone becomes a Heavenly Beauty, they rarely fall off the list unless they die. Then, a new Heavenly Beauty will take their place."
"Those men are also surrounded by a flock of admirers. These twelve men are known as Great Xia's Twelve Handsome Men."
"But behind closed doors, people call them Great Xia's Twelve Gadgets."
Just then—
Ma Yinxue, who was surrounded by the crowd, suddenly noticed Chen Qiu and Fat Dragon standing under a pine tree. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and she gently waved her sleeve as she slowly approached them.
Her flower-guardians closely followed behind, their faces filled with vigilance like qualified servants.
Almost everyone's gaze was fixed on this woman in a pink dress, and Ma Yinxue seemed to relish the attention.
"It seems she's heading towards you, and it doesn't look like she's coming to reminisce."
Chen Qiu whispered as he watched Ma Yinxue approach them.
"Hmm."
Fat Dragon nodded, his voice a little hoarse. "If she ridicules me later, can you protect me, Qiu brother?"
"Are you so sure she'll ridicule you?"
"Hmm, that's just her personality. In my previous life, when my company was doing well, she treated me nicely. But after the company's performance declined, her attitude did a complete one-eighty."
"With just these few people, it's no problem. You can say whatever you want, just avoid group ridicule."
"I can't fight against so many people at once, and Scholar and the others are still in Fufeng City. It's hard to escape."
"Understood, I got it."
"It's been a long time, Fat Dragon."
With each step Ma Yinxue took, a plum blossom would appear under her feet, making her light and graceful walk extremely eye-catching. She reached Fat Dragon's side, her smile both genuine and mocking. She raised her hand and lightly caressed his cheek before finally resting it on his throat, her voice as soft as silk.
"The Celestial Path Secret Realm has a cultivation restriction of up to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, yet you still want to take a chance and enter?"
"Tsk, you're still the same as before, addicted to gambling."
"Didn't I tell you not to do that business, but you insisted? What happened? Did you lose money? Why do you always think you're infallible and that everything you do is right?"
"Do you feel any regret seeing me again? If you had humbled yourself and tried to win me over instead of letting me continue being your virtuous wife, perhaps you would have been qualified to stand among these men behind me."
Fat Dragon, expressionless, slapped away Ma Yinxue's hand and said coldly, "In just a few days, you've become as brazen as a courtesan."
"Are you out of your mind? Did you get stabbed in the head too?"
". "
Chen Qiu, who had been standing aside, twirling a jade feather fan and enjoying the spectacle, suddenly froze as he heard Fat Dragon's words. He slowly put away the fan into his Spirit Ring and prepared to draw his sword at any moment.
It seemed that a fight was inevitable today.
The crowd that had gathered to watch the commotion also seemed to understand this unspoken agreement, and they quickly dispersed, leaving the area under the pine tree empty.
The stage was set for them, and it was time for the main event.
Although the crowd had scattered, their faces were filled with curiosity, eager for the latest gossip about the Heavenly Beauty. This kind of gossip was never tiresome, especially when it was fresh news.
As soon as Fat Dragon finished speaking, the men standing behind Ma Yinxue drew their weapons from their chests and pointed them at Fat Dragon, their faces contorted with anger.
"How dare you!"
"Who gave you the audacity to speak to Sister Xue like that?"
"You're asking for death!"
"We haven't even held Sister Xue's hand, yet you slander her name with malicious defamation! How dare you!"
As the men were about to charge forward, fueled by their anger, Ma Yinxue's face turned cold, and she stopped them with a wave of her hand. Then, she leaned closer to Fat Dragon and spoke, word by word.
"I once heard a saying—"
"A man's money is not meant to be spent on women, but to be displayed for them."
"I find it very reasonable."
"A woman's charm is not meant for men to use, but for them to admire."
"As long as I don't choose a husband, everyone will want me. These men can be of use to me, but what about you? I'll show you, my decisions have always been right, and those like you, who are arrogant and ignorant, can only rage in their incompetence."
"Filled with regret and bitterness, they can only face reality again and hide in the sewers."
"By the way."
The woman took a step back and suddenly laughed, taking out ten porcelain bottles from her Spirit Ring and throwing them at Fat Dragon's feet. "These are the potions you gave me. I'm returning ten of them to you."
"Didn't you say that you worked day and night for over ten days doing manual labor to earn enough for this potion?"
"You had to remind me every day, as if you wanted me to be indebted to you for this potion for the rest of my life. It's just a few hundred silver coins; do you expect me to remember it forever?"
"Is returning ten enough?"
