74 Uproar in New Empyrean City (1/2)

This was a most unusual day in New Empyrean City and the Eastern District City was unusually crowded today.

Not only were there many thousands of cultivators but hordes of commoners were also swarming around the Eastern District City.

Although New Empyrean City was quite a big city and covered dozens of mountain peaks and there were some fifty celestial clans that had some renown but it seemed that almost all the major celestial clans had come today.

What was the reason for this strange activity?

It was because today was the crowning ceremony of one of the top twenty beauties of New Empyrean City and her name was Qin Keqin. By now, most of the denizens of New Empyrean City had heard of Sect Leader Qin Keqin and the uproars that her Heavens Ridge Villa had caused in recent months.

”I wonder what Qin Keqin really looks like?”

”I've heard that she is fifth realm expert but even a sixth realm expert like Supremacy Wen had fallen to her…”

”I heard that she is quite a peerless beauty but I wonder if that is true.”

”She has just entered the top twenty beauties ranking and is being nominated as number one…”

”That is because she is a sect leader of one of the four major powerhouses in New Empyrean City. This got nothing to do with her beauty but her position…”

”Hehehe, I am here to look at the other peerless beauties that will be attending the ceremony…”

”I doubt that you will be able to see any. They are all in their carriages and we are not allowed to enter the ceremony hall unless we have an invitation…”

”I just need to catch a glimpse when they got off their carriages…”

Although there were few people that had actually seen Qin Keqin in person but the rumors of her peerless beauty had spread like wildfire from the Heavens Ridge Villa to the rest of the New Empyrean City.

It was not just Qin Keqin who would be attending the ceremony. There were also rumors that several of the ranked twenty beauties would also be attending the ceremony. Naturally many of them were not there to offer their congratulations to Qin Keqin but to know this new 'rival' of theirs.

After all since she had suddenly been ranked as the top beauty, a position that none had managed to attain for a long time, surely she must be quite extraordinary.

A horse-drawn carriage had just stopped in front of the ceremony hall and the curious onlookers were edging for a closer look. This carriage had a clear marker and there were the insignia and banner of the Heavens Ridge Villa on it.

Inside the carriage were Lu Qingyun, Qin Keqin, Lie Xingyuan, Ouyang Xue and Leng Qiuyue.

Qin Keqin had brought Ouyang Xue and Leng Qiuyue along because they were in the top twenty beauties ranking as well. Therefore there was no reason for her not to bring them along.

Throughout the journey, Lu Qingyun was in a state of awkwardness. It was because he was suddenly aware that he was sitting with four extraordinary beautiful maidens. Moreover today they were all dressed up in their best and their fragrances were drifting up his nostrils.

He had never taken a serious look at Lie Xingyuan and Qin Keqin. But today, he had realized that they were extremely beautiful indeed. He muttered to himself, ”Qingyun, you are not a lustful man. So please don't have any lustful thoughts on Xingyuan or Keqin…”

Throughout the journey, Leng Qiuyue had lowered her glances and was extremely quiet as well. It was because she did not dare to look at Lu Qingyun…

Ouyang Xue was also avoiding looking at Lu Qingyun as well. It was because she knew that Qin Keqin was quietly observing her and that it was obvious to her that Qin Keqin was constantly looking at Lu Qingyun with unusual loving glances.

When they had alighted from the carriage, Leng Qiuyue was the first to step out.

Immediately there were many gasps from the crowds of onlookers as they muttered, ”She is Leng Qiuyue, one of the alluring flowers of the Heavens Ridge Villa. If she is here then Ouyang Xue must also be here too. Maiden Qiuyue is indeed a peerless beauty…”

The impression that Leng Qiuyue gave was that of an icy beauty. Her countenance was jaded and she was like a lofty beautiful heavenly fairy that was untainted and untouchable.

”She is too beautiful…”

”If she could smile at me then I don't mind dying for her at all…”

There were more gasps as Ouyang Xue had stepped out of the carriage. While Leng Qiuyue was an icy beauty, Ouyang Xue was her opposite and her figure was extremely enticing. Many of the men had hot blood of lusts after taking a glimpse of her and had already started to imagine lustful images.

”She is Ouyang Xue…”

”It seems that the two beauties of the Heavens Ridge Villa are really true beauties after all…”

”Where is Qin Keqin? Is she in the carriage?”

Many of the crowds were now filled with eager anticipations and were all pushing each other to get a closer look. Since Ouyang Xue and Leng Qiuyue were such peerless beauties then this Qin Keqin must be one notch higher or else why would she be nominated as the number one beauty in New Empyrean City?

The men were soon disappointed that the next person to emerge from the carriage was a tall and handsome man.

”Who is he?”

”No idea but I'm sure he can't be considered to be a beauty, right?”

”He is Qin Keqin?…”
