Moreover, the world is so vast, yet Mr. Li doesn't even mention Huang Rong's whereabouts.
Li Chengqian put down his teacup, preparing to continue his lecture.
A wandering swordsman stood up and asked, "Mr. Li, Miss Huang is arguably the most perfect woman in the world."
"Is there really a woman more perfect than her in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty?"
Li Chengqian gently waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "If Huang Rong is the pinnacle of humanity, then the next two should be described as celestial beings who do not partake in worldly affairs."
"Especially the first one, if she could stay young forever, it wouldn't be a problem to call her a fairy."
"Wang Yuyan, ranked second in the first tier of the Song Dynasty's Rouge List."
Born in Mandala Manor, she and Murong Fu were childhood sweethearts.
"Wang Yuyan's beauty is not like Zhong Ling's elegance, nor like A Zhu's cleverness and playfulness, nor like A Zi's cold beauty and graceful figure."
"She was dignified and graceful, gentle as the misty rain of Jiangnan, and her knowledge was as vast as the ocean. She was proficient in all kinds of martial arts."
Although he doesn't know any martial arts, his theory of martial arts is that of a master.
"You hear the voice before you see the person; a soft sigh is enough to send shivers down your spine and captivate your soul."
"Seeing its back view, one feels as if enveloped in mist and clouds, like a fairyland."
"Her jade-like hands gather dewdrops, and she sighs softly at the bitterness of parting. Her beloved has gone far away, where can she entrust her devoted heart? Only a dry well in the mud can be her final resting place in this world."
After he finished speaking, the inn fell silent again.
Only occasionally could one hear a sigh.
"Wang San! Wang San! You've lived all these years, why haven't you ever thought of going to see these celestial beings?"
Even if you can't have it, it's good to see it at all!
Countless people lament that they have wasted so many years of their lives, saying that any woman they meet is beautiful.
Now that I've come to this Peace Inn, I finally understand what true beauty is.
In addition, some other people noticed something amiss.
Mr. Li's last line, "My beloved has gone far away, where can my devoted heart find solace? Only a dry well in the mud can be my final resting place in this world," doesn't sound like a description of a woman's beauty.
It was more like fortune-telling; Mr. Li seemed to be talking about Wang Yuyan's fate.
Thinking of this, some bold江湖客 (jianghu ke) rolled their eyes and asked loudly, "Mr. Li, what about your saying, 'A muddy well is the only place for people to return to'?"
"What does this mean? Could it be that Miss Wang's destined partner is not Murong Fu, but the man in the dry well?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
When everyone heard that Wang Yuyan and Murong Fu were childhood sweethearts, they thought it was hopeless, but now it seems that there is still hope!
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Li Chengqian lightly waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "You all are joking."
"Li is not a fortune teller, how could he know other people's fate?"
"Those last two lines were just added for the sake of rhyming, so don't worry about them."
Despite everyone's explanations, the people at the inn simply did not believe them.
Ah!
Do you think we'll believe you?
When you and Wan Sanqian were fighting over the person, you kept implying that the person would die if they left Ping An Inn.
Now you're even commenting on Wang Yuyan's marriage prospects? You're a god! We won't fall for your tricks.
"Oh right, do you guys remember? There's a dry well outside Ping An Inn!"
"Mr. Li isn't talking about that place, is he?"
"It seems there really is one. Could it be that Wang Yuyan's true love is in there?"
"I think so. Let's make it clear first, one person gets one day, and no one is allowed to take it from us. Fate is predetermined."
Chapter 183 A Fairy Who Shouldn't Appear in the Mortal World, Zhang Sanfeng Seeks Medical Treatment
He overheard a group of martial arts practitioners below discussing how to allocate the guard time for the dry well at the entrance.
Li Chengqian's lips twitched incessantly.
I was just getting into the conversation and offering some commentary, wasn't I?
Besides, Wang Yuyan and Duan Yu fell into a dry well, what does that have to do with you?
If you can wait for Wang Yuyan in this dry well, then that would be a miracle!
Before the crowd could quiet down, Li Chengqian spoke up, forcing the martial arts practitioners to stop their discussion.
Mr. Li once said that the number one beauty on the Song Dynasty's Rouge Ranking could be called a fairy on earth.
It would be such a shame to mishear even a single word in such a situation.
Room No. 2, Class 1 (Tianzi)
Yaoyue's face was almost frozen solid.
Since entering the martial arts world, Yaoyue has never questioned her appearance.
However, upon hearing Li Chengqian's description, Yaoyue felt an inexplicable surge of anger.
This anger has no cause, no reason.
In short, Yaoyue just wants to kill someone, but she hasn't decided on a target yet.
"Lianxing, didn't Li Chengqian say that he would compile a list of beauties for the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, sister, is there a problem?"
Lianxing was also a little confused by her sister's sudden outburst of anger.
"It's nothing. If Li Chengqian's 'Rouge List of the Ming Dynasty' doesn't satisfy me, then you can stop Dongfang Bubai."
"I'm going to teach him a lesson."
""
You wouldn't be asking him to rank you first, would you?
If that's the case, Dongfang Bubai probably won't let it go easily!
"The Song Dynasty's Rouge Ranking, the number one in the first tier, is Little Dragon Girl."
"Considering Xiaolongnu's unique personality, the origin of her sect will be temporarily concealed."
The group, who had been in high spirits, immediately fell silent upon hearing Li Chengqian's words.
""
That's shameless! You didn't tell us about the most beautiful one's background. Are you trying to keep her all to yourself?
Let me tell you, if you dare to eat alone, I'll...
Everyone glanced at Room No. 1 and Room No. 2, and then looked at Li Chengqian on the high platform.
I can only watch you eat.
"Little Dragon Girl was beautiful as a fairy, with fair skin and jade bones, and was exceptionally beautiful."
"She is genuine and pure in character, intelligent and insightful, with a heart as clear as crystal, and appears gentle but is strong inside."
"I have always loved wearing white, like a jade tree being caressed by the wind, or a bud wrapped in snow."
"Her most stunning feature is not her appearance, but her otherworldly temperament."
A poem says: "White brocade without pattern, fragrant and splendid, jade trees and precious flowers piled like snow. In the still night, the light is hazy and the moon is cold and melting. In the human world and in the heavens, the bright silver clouds shine through."
"She resembles a fairy from Mount Guye, with a natural and elegant appearance, and a noble and pure spirit."
"Who can believe in the myriad forms of nature, which stand apart from the common flowers? Its noble spirit and pure essence, its extraordinary talent, are hard to distinguish on earth. Only by returning to the Jade Terrace can one truly appreciate its pristine beauty in the celestial realm."
"Gulu!"
The only sound in the inn was the swallowing of saliva; everyone's eyes were glazed over, their minds blank.
They simply couldn't imagine what such an extraordinary woman should look like.
Is the Little Dragon Girl that Mr. Li mentioned really an earthly woman?
How could such a woman appear in this world full of everyday life?
She should reside high in the heavens, calmly observing everything in the mortal world; such a woman should not exist among mortals.
"Ding! Personnel have stayed for more than three hours. Reward: 10000 popularity points. (Today's total: 20000)"
"Ding! The inn's visitor traffic has reached a new high, rewarding you with 10000 popularity points. (Today's total is 30000)"
"Ding! Host has unlocked the achievement 'Famous Throughout the World,' rewarding 10000 popularity points. (Today's total: 40000)"
[Ding! Temporary task, service first.]
[Task: The host must help a specific guest resolve their problem.]
[Reward: "Real World" added to the regular lottery pool.]
A series of system notifications left Li Chengqian somewhat bewildered, but a smile quickly crept onto his lips.
The system is incredibly generous; it's giving away real-world value worth 50,000 people just like that.
Although the feature had been available in the world for a long time, Li Chengqian had been ignoring it.
The reason is simple: it's too expensive!
To add real-world prizes to a regular lottery pool, 50,000 popularity points are required.
Yes, you heard right, fifty thousand!
·· Requesting flowers ··
If this is an addition to the bronze lottery pool, Li Chengqian would probably grit his teeth and accept it.
But this is a regular lottery pool!
The most you can pull out is some toilet paper, Head & Shoulders shampoo, and the like.
If you have 50,000 popularity points, wouldn't it be better to use them for a five-pull in Silver rank?
