BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170 Beauty with purpose
There was one word An Xiulan could use to describe her teacher.
Cruelly perfectionist.
She didn’t know if the word existed or not. But she would like to submit a petition of the word if it didn’t, to add it to the dictionary.
It had been three days since Mr Yun started his lessons. And all they could say was that she was dying. Her legs were sore. Her body was aching all over.
“Show me your walk, ” Mr Yun’s voice boomed in the room. As she began walking, he barked. “This is what I taught you? You walk as if you are walking towards the palace of an emperor. It’s a beauty pageant not a concubine selection show!”
See, that is why she said he was cruelly perfectionist.
“Start walking again, ” He ordered and he began. But she was cut off mercilessly once again..
“Why does it look like you are holding a pitcher on your head and if you walk a little faster, it will fall down, ” Mr Yun said in frustration. This girl had no base for this field yet she was being stubborn. What kind of teacher did she have before who didn’t even teach him such a little thing?
“Walk fluidly like you own the stage, ” Mr Yun said patiently. He was a very impatient man for someone as perfectionist as him. “Imagine you are a queen, full of elegance and power.”
An Xiulan took a deep breath and walked, imagining herself as a queen but still, she gave him a chance to nitpick. Why did everything seem so difficult now?
“Don’t smile like that, ” He said with a sigh. “It seems like we need to work on your smile too.”
An Xiulan couldn’t help but grumble. “Can’t I smile like I usually do? Smile means smile. It shouldn’t matter how you smile. This is my real smile. I don’t want to adopt fakeness in my life.”
“Your words are too good to hear, ” Mr Yun said with a smile that could make a Miss World envious. But since she was already Miss Universe in someone’s heart, it didn’t affect her much. “But their relevance? Nah. Nothing.”
He took a step ahead and said, “Do you know? The curves of your lips play a crucial part in your winning or losing. If the judges feel that your smile is not glamorous or elegant enough, you are out. And what makes you think as if that field is full of reality? Once you enter the venue, you will understand the ugliness of this beauty field.”
“If I need to fake a smile to win, I will do it, ” She said with a bright smile. “All I know is I have to win this contest to go to the next stage to be Miss China eventually.”
Looking at her, Mr Yun shook his head in disappointment. If it was five years ago, he might have applauded her for having such a positive attitude and confidence but now all he could see was blankness. He saw the face of another girl in her that he didn’t wish to.
“What if you didn’t win?” Mr Yun said. “You have no experience or base for the contest. There are girls who have been participating in the pageants ever since they learned to walk. Are you sure you are even one-tenth of those girls? You can’t even walk without making it awkward. Your language is not what a beauty queen should have. She must eat elegantly, laugh elegantly, walk elegantly and even exist elegantly. Can you do anything?”
He held up his hand to say. “Before you cry or stomp on your feet to complain, I am just showing you a mirror. There are people better than you or better than me in this world. The universe is quite vast. You never know how many remarkable people exist. What would you do if you didn’t win the contest? Before joining the contest, you must have an answer to it. It’s good to have confidence and competitiveness but don’t you think we should have a bit of fear too? What if you lost and then what would you do?”
At this moment, Mr Yun was thinking about another girl who came with the confidence of winning the contest but when she was thrown out by more capable girls who were taught by him and no one else, she couldn’t bear it and gave up on her life.
He was just making this girl understand that a pageant could be a part of life but it couldn’t be her entire life. If she fails, she needs to learn to move on without losing herself in the loss.
“I don’t know, ” An Xiulan looked at him and said. “I just want to be Miss China.”
Mr Yun scoffed. “You want to be Miss China. Why do you want to be Miss China?”
An Xiulan had no answer to that question. She didn’t know what to say.
“Miss China is a beauty with purpose. What is your purpose? Fame? Glamour? Money? “Mr Yun asked the silent girl. “If you can’t figure out the answer to the simple question, do you think you deserve to take part in the contest?”
Outside the door, Lu Xuan and his mom were hearing the conversation happening inside.
“Ma, he is so hard on our Teeny, ” Lu Xuan complained. “Ask her to take her name back from the stupid contest. He has been making her work all day since the last three days and doesn’t even let her eat. Even Betty and Augustine get more to eat than our Teeny.”
“Ah Xuan, if she couldn’t handle this hardship, do you think she could live her life well?” An Qinyan said to her son. “We all face hardness and we all find solutions for that. Let your sister walk her own path. These hardships will one day make her a great woman that we all will be proud of.”
“But mom–*
” If I didn’t face what I did, I wouldn’t be who I’m today “An Qinyan whispered. “His words are heavy and harsh but they are necessary for her to hear.”

A/N: Hello there, thank you for your patience while I was updating Privilege chapters. It must be hard on you all to wait for 4 days. Actually, I couldn’t make a stockpile and now I had to muster up the update of two books along with 10 chapters of privilege and burned myself badly. My eyes hurt and so does my head right now. I can’t look at the screen for the time being.
I have few things to say before the normal chapter updates begin. Don’t worry, my ranting won’t cost you coins as I always put it after posting the chapter and the system only recognises the coins of old Word counts.
1…..I have 2.9K collections currently but why does my vote not increase 700? The goal of this month is to cross 1000 power stones. I know it is possible. So, kindly help me.
2….I had 65 privileged readers last month. I hope I had almost the same this month too. First of all, thank you all of you for helping me reach 1K unlocks and we got a 7 days feature.Our Goal is to reach 1K privilege unlocks again. So, dear readers, kindly show your power.
3…I’m thinking of posting 3 chapters a day and doing two mass releases in a month. What do you think about it?
4….I have come up with an idea. Whoever buys the last two tiers of privilege can ask for the scene of your favorite character in it. For example, Reader A likes Song Xueyun and Lu Xuan together, all you have to do is buy the last or second last tier privilege and post the screenshot in comments and put in your request for your favourite character scene. Also, the buyers of the last two tiers can claim 100 coins worth code. (Do note only the first 10 people can claim the coin code.)
5…The goal of Golden tickets this month is 200!
