Gu Yang said, “Previously I was always in the mountains, no one explained these things to me.”
Ling Ling held a strong curiosity about his master, but didn’t pryingly inquire further. She said, “Every woman evaluated and placed on the Beauty List possesses unique qualities.”
“Such as Frosty Skin and Jade Bone, it’s a unique constitution. Its last appearance goes few centuries back. Such individuals innately possess pure Yin Qi within their bodies, making them excellent Cultivation Furnaces to men who cultivate Yang attribute techniques.”
Gu Yang had an enlightening moment. So the Yin Qi inside Su Qingzhen had such implications.
“Any woman possessing the Frosty Skin and Jade Bone attribute is inherently blessed. Born with one foot already stepping into the Divine Power realm, as long as they can reach the First Rank, entering the Divine Power realm becomes a mere trifle.’
When Ling Ling said these words, a profound longing was evident in her tone.
To others, the Divine Power realm is undoubtedly a chasm hard to surmount, as hard as ascending to heaven. Countless gifted individuals get stuck at this juncture, their progress arrested at the First Rank for life.
People like this, who are born with one foot already stepping into the Divine
Power realm, seem to highlight Heaven’s unfairness.”
“So are you saying that I, in essence, took in a future Divine Power realm practitioner as a servant?”
An odd thought flashed across Gu Yang’s mind.
It does seem rather thrilling when put that way.
He then asked, “What about ‘Bewitchingly Charming’? What unique attribute does she possess to be ranked ahead of Frosty Skin and Jade Bone?”
Ling Ling said, “The ranks given on the Beauty List do not imply superiority or inferiority. Those ranked higher simply means they have been on the list longer.”
‘”Bewitchingly Charming’ refers to those born with captivating charm, possessing a natural power to beguile men, and easily capture a man’s heart.” Gu Yang understood; it essentially meant they carried an innate charm aura. Over a thousand years ago, a woman endowed with ‘Bewitchingly Charming’ was immensely talented and self-created a sect, the ‘Femme Fatale Heart Manual’. She transformed this charm into a formidable weapon, bewitching countless Martial Arts experts into risking their lives for her.”
“Their sect, the Femme Fatale Sect, would do everything they could to recruit
any woman with the ‘Bewitchingly Charming’ attribute whenever they appeared, sparking off bloody storms in the martial world.”
Gu Yang curiously inquired, “What about Cao Yiyi? Is she brave enough to swank around carelessly?”
Ling Ling replied, “A few years ago, after Cao Yi Yi was listed on the Beauty
List, her father, single-handedly and with a spear, stormed the Femme Fatale
Sect and massacred all of its members. He then set the whole place ablaze, effectively obliterating the sect.”
Gu Yang suddenly felt a tinge of relief. If he had carelessly killed Cao Yi Yi just now, wouldn’t he have a Divine Power realm practitioner brandishing a long spear chasing after him?
He became increasingly curious about the Beauty List, “What about the others on the Beauty List?”
“You’ll know about them eventually. I’m getting hungry now; let’s go find a place to eat.” Ling Ling diverted the topic.
Next, no more accidents occurred.
After a few days, Gu Yang and Ling Ling arrived at the Yuzhou city, a huge city with a population exceeding a million.
In this era, it was considered a major city bustling with crowds.
Gu Yang found an excuse to send Ling Ling away and went alone to the Four Sea Bank to withdraw the money. He planned to top it directly into the system and didn’t want her following along which would demand explanation.
He collected all the information; there were four branches just in Yuzhou city.
He took few thousand taels from each branch, took it several times, put it in a bundle, completely inconspicuous. As soon as he left, he topped up and no one was any wiser.
By the afternoon, Gu Yang had withdrawn all thirty thousand taels and made the deposit in the system.
Seeing the balance of thirty thousand in the system page, he felt extremely satisfied.
Justifying the great risk, he escorted Su Qingzhen to Pingjun.
This sum would be enough for fifteen simulations.
