3042 The Beauty
“Her strength is not weak, and although she is still young, she has reached the Golden Core Peak stage. She is comparable to the daughters of influential families. Hmm, no, her calm and unflustered disposition is unrivalled even among those influential families’ daughters.”
Wanyan Shisan paused, touched his chin, and grinned. “I wonder what she looks like.”
Feng Jiu looked on, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips as she watched. She looked at the woman and swept her gaze over the other women, anticipating the moment they would remove their veils.
She was more curious than ever about the woman’s appearance.
“All right, everyone, our Beauty Pavilion has always allowed anyone to participate as long as they have talents, regardless of where they come from. This is the Beauty Pavilion’s rule. Take a look at this beauty. Everything about her is superior, whether it’s her posture, temperament, or cultivation. Will you still think she’s beautiful only if she dresses up in a luxurious dress?”
The woman in her thirties covered her mouth with her hand, smiled, and said, “Now let them lift their veils and reveal their faces. Each of the guests in the front row has one vote in addition to the ten judges in our building.”
As she spoke, she took a step back and signalled to the first woman to start by removing her veil and revealing her face to the public. This was the final round of the competition, and it was crucial in determining whether or not the contestant was a beauty. Even if she was the daughter of a powerful family, she had no choice but to remove her veil here.
As the first woman removed her veil, she confidently raised her head and glanced up, and the other women followed suit. Each woman’s veil was removed in exchange for a round of applause from the audience.
When the last woman, the plainly dressed woman, removed the veil from her face, there were gasps from the audience. Someone even forgot his manners and stood up from his seat, his gaze fixed on the beautiful woman on stage.
Compared with other contestants, the woman in the plain grey dress looked no better off than a beggar on the street. However, when she removed her veil, revealing exquisite facial features and unique temperament, the audience could not tear their gaze away. The alluring red flower in the outer corner of her left eye, in particular, added a touch of mystery and aloofness.
“The twelfth beauty is absolutely stunning!”
“Yes, she’s even more gorgeous than last year’s Beauty Pavilion winner, Beauty Yu.”
“It’s a shame she’s only wearing a shabby dress. What kind of majestic beauty should she have if she changes into a beautiful dress?”
“What is this woman’s identity? Is she a resident of this city as well? How come I’ve never heard of her?”
“I must propose marriage to her and bring her home!”
“Hahaha, excellent. I’d like to propose to her as well. A woman of such beauty and Golden Core Peak strength is absolutely qualified to enter my Chen family.”
Everyone in the audience was talking for a while. They intended to find her, propose to her, and marry her back home.
The woman on stage stood quietly, gently closed her eyes, and hugged the guqin in her arms, not even changing her facial expression after listening to the conversations of the luxuriously dressed men below.
After staring at the flower on the woman’s face for a brief moment, Feng Jiu’s lips curved slightly, revealing a devilish smile. “It’s interesting, really interesting.”
