No matter where one was, being cute and good looking could be a great advantages in many ways.

For example, there were different kinds of rare animals on earth. Many of them were as rare as pandas, but only cute species could enjoy the same treatment as the panda. As for others, such as the the Arctic wolf, the Cuban crocodile, and the dwarf rhinoceros, which were as rare as pandas, they were perhaps less in number, but they didn’t live lives as comfortable as pandas did.

The reason was that they were not good looking or cute at all!

When it came to marriage, the advantages of being cute and good looking were even more obvious. Before Sui Xiong’s space-travel, he had known a novelist who was quite rich, with a steady income and fame in both the illustration and comic industry and the animation industry. However, such a man was still single in his thirties. Even though he had managed to get a girlfriend, she had left him very quickly.

Why? Because he was ugly. He was tall, but very fat, making him look like a strong bear. What was worse, he had been born with a fierce face. Even though he tried to smile kindly, he still gave others the feeling of an evil guy. With his shining bald head and his white teeth, he looked like a terrorist who was ready to set off bombs in America…

At that time, this man had been in the same group as Sui Xiong in an online game, and the girl this man was chasing after was Sui Xiong’s friend. Considering that they were partners in game and this man had offered a lot of work opportunities to Sui Xiong, Sui Xiong tried to help the man by telling a lot of good stories about him to the girl. However, at last, the girl had said, “I know he’s not handsome, and I don’t mind, but if we get married and give birth to a daughter who looks like him, then what can I do?”

What can you do? How about taking her to Korea for plastic surgery?

Sui Xiong suggested that and was blacklisted by the girl.

Appearance had been so important on earth, a highly developed and open society, let alone in this world, with a relatively closed and backward society. Actually, being good looking was even more important here.

Stephen Carter was handsome enough, and he could even make a living with his handsome face to be a super star or something like that. Actually, Romon was also handsome, but he was older. A middle-aged man wasn’t suitable to become an idol. Anna knew none of the suitors. Thus, compared to the others, this super handsome young man, Stephen Carter, would be the best choice for her.

However, after several thoughts, Crick was worried. He talked to Amyveile privately. “This young man is even more beautiful than my sister. After getting married, won’t she feel stressed?”

Amyveile didn’t think so. In her opinion, the most important thing in marriage was stability first, and the second was loyalty. As for appearances and love, they didn’t matter as much.

However, Stephen Carter was, indeed, beautiful.

That night, Romon went back to the hotel and passed the Projection Crystal to Stephen.

“Here you are. It’s from Miss Anna,” he said carelessly.

Stephen accepted it without paying it special attention at first. Then he was shocked at what Romon had said.

“Sir, what on earth did you do today?”

“What did I do? Nothing special,” Romon answered carelessly again. “I went out this morning to visit the Archbishop of the Church of Void Mask, Mr Miramon, and he introduced me to Lord Crick. We talked about cooperating and your proposal. Lord Crick prefers that it be decided by the two of you, so I showed you to Miss Anna through the Projection Crystal. She seemed to like you, so Lord Crick asked her to record something on the Projection Crystal for you.”

“But…”

“Rest assured. I didn’t watch it. You can go back your room and watch it yourself.” Romon touched his student’s head and said, “However, you need to be mature. You’re going to get married, after all.”

Stephen blushed at once and couldn’t say a word.

Romon laughed loudly and asked Stephen to go back his room with the Projection Crystal. Romon went to his own room, took out the the doctrine of the Church of Void Mask that Bishop Miramon had presented just now, and studied it carefully.

Romon’s strength had reached a bottleneck at that time, and he had to be ready to work hard for the Legendary Realm. Theoretically, he could have been a Legendary Bard, or a Legendary Thief as he had originally planned, but now, he had changed his mind. He wanted to work hard in the direction of priesthood, aiming to become a legendary clergyman.

That wouldn’t be easy, but being a clergyman would make entering the Legendary Realm much easier. For that advantage only, it was worth a try.

Romon had always been a realistic person, which had made him lose a lot, but also gain a lot.

When he had been young, he had wanted to change himself and be a positive and hardworking man. But now that he was middle-aged, it was too late to make a change. There was nothing wrong with him maintaining what he had always been.

However, when he looked at the lively doctrine, full of enthusiasm and righteousness in its lines, and compared it to his almost withered heart, he couldn’t help laughing bitterly.
