Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Holy crap! What a coincidence! I didn’t expect I would meet her again! Could it be caused by the Red Rope of Marriage? Xu Que was greatly shocked.
The Five Elements Mountain was not a big place, but he didn’t expect he would meet her again in such a short time! Before, Xu Que would have been quite happy about this. After all, this kind of predestined relationship was quite rare. These frequent accidental encounters had given him a lot of opportunities to flirt with girls!
However, after the last encounter, Xu Que had figured out that it was very difficult to change his image in the heart of Zixia Fairy. So, Xu Que had decided to stop his flirtation! After all, it was extremely difficult to flirt with a woman like her. Also, he was not as powerful as she was, which increased the difficulty of flirtation!
“Alas, the Red Rope of Marriage has created many opportunities, but the predestined relationship between us has gone!” Xu Que couldn’t help but shake his head. He could win someone’s heart forcibly through his efforts. However, for some people, no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn’t stand a chance! Undoubtedly, that extremely beautiful Zixia Fairy was one of the latter ones!
...
“What? You said you want to join us?” a young man in the crowd said at this time as he looked at Zixia Fairy, disguised as an emaciated girl.
Zixia Fairy nodded her head quietly as she approached these people and tried to join them. The young man was stunned a bit. Then, he said with a smile, shaking his head, “This...lady, although you have reached the Golden Core Stage, you are...too ugly! Heh-heh, we don’t need you for you might scare us in the abode! You could try your luck with others!” After saying that, the man laughed loudly and left directly!
People around her also laughed as they looked at Zixia Fairy sarcastically. However, Zixia Fairy wasn’t annoyed by them. She frowned a bit and walked toward other people. It seemed she still tried to find someone to go into the abode with her! But she was really unlucky this time. Nobody wanted to go together with her!
After all, there were a lot of cultivators at the Golden Core Stage in this area. Some cultivators even had reached the Original Infant Stage. It was really a bad idea for Zixia Fairy to disguise herself into an ugly girl at the Golden Core Stage! For people around her, as long as they could get a better choice, they would never choose her!
Interesting! As a powerful cultivator, she could enter that abode easily. There is no reason for her to cover her identity and try to find company! Xu Que was confused. However, the next moment, his eyes lit up and he smiled, for an idea came into his mind!
“System, I want to purchase a Disguise Puppet, which can’t be seen through by cultivators at the summit of the Great Vehicle Stage!” Xu Que summoned the System.
Ding! “A Heaven-Rank Disguise Puppet has been purchased successfully with 3,000 Acting Tough Points!”
Together with the warning tone of the System, an item appeared in the System package of Xu Que! Without any hesitation, Xu Que defined a face and changed himself into a new appearance immediately!
...
At this time, many groups of cultivators had been formed under the desolate mountain. They were about to enter the abode to search for opportunities and fortunes! Zixia Fairy, disguised as the emaciated girl, was still being rejected by the rest of the people in this area. However, she didn’t give up. She walked to another group of cultivators and asked in a low voice, “Guys, could I join you? Also, I don’t want anything you might find in that abode!”
“You don’t want anything from that abode? Hah-hah, why do you want to enter it?” The cultivators sneered after hearing that.
For them, this was a hilarious joke! Without rewards, nobody would risk their lives in that dangerous abode!
“The ugly person always acts weirdly. Maybe she is planning a conspiracy! Let’s just ignore her and prepare to enter the abode!” someone said coldly.
The rest of the people also nodded. They ignored Zixia Fairy and started to make preparations by checking their magical artifacts and spells! Zixia Fairy couldn’t help but frown again. However, she said nothing and turned around to ask other cultivators again!
“Excuse me, my lady!”
Just at this time, a gentle and resonant voice came from behind her! Zixia Fairy was surprised. Then, she turned around slightly. She saw a handsome young man in a shabby cloth gown was smiling at her. A bronze mirror which hung on his chest was eye-catching. After making eye contact with the man, Zixia Fairy was sure the young man was talking to her.
“My Lord, may I help you?”
“My lady, my name is Joker, and I am new here. Just now I saw you were looking for a companion. If you don’ t mind, I’d like to go with you!” the young man said gently with a disarming smile.
Undoubtedly, only Xu Que would say he was Joker in this place! He had disguised himself into Joker with a Heaven-Rank Disguise Puppet. His clothing and apparel were also the same as the Joker. The Heaven-Rank Disguise Puppet was quite powerful. Once it was used, the user’s appearance, stage, and temperament were changed. Even cultivators at the summit of the Great Vehicle Stage couldn’t see through it!
After looking at Xu Que carefully for a while, Zixia Fairy was confused! She couldn’t figure out why this young man at the Golden Core Stage invited her when the rest of the people turned their backs on her!
“Hah-hah, my fellow cultivator, if you want to find a companion, there are a lot of better choices here. Why do you choose that ugly woman?”
“Right! Everyone can see this woman has an evil intent. The abode is quite dangerous. You should take care of yourself and avoid being murdered by her!”
“Actually, the most important point is that this woman is too ugly. Even if she won’t murder you, she might scare you to death in the abode! Hah-hah-hah!” Someone told a mean joke, while the rest of the people also laughed sarcastically.
Zixia Fairy frowned immediately. But she was not annoyed. It seemed she was either holding in her anger, or she didn’t care about it at all!
However, Xu Que turned to the onlookers and said with puzzlement at this time, “Guys, why do you say this girl is ugly? For me, she is not ugly at all!”
What?
Is she not ugly for you?
The onlookers were stunned and looked at Xu Que dumbfoundedly.
Xu Que started to smile “shyly” and said by scratching the back of his head, “Frankly speaking, I don’t know how to judge a person’s appearance, which means I don’t know whether a person in front of me is beautiful or not! I decided to go together with this girl because I feel she is quite nice and reliable! I don’t care whether she is beautiful or ugly!”
Holy crap!
I’ve never heard a cultivator in this world who doesn’t know how to judge a person’s appearance! That’s impossible!
The onlookers were totally confused.
Zixia Fairy also looked at Xu Que in surprise.
Then, Xu Que said to those onlookers earnestly, “Actually, I think appearance is not important for a person! The most important point is the inner beauty! As an old saying goes, ‘Inside a beautiful woman, there is a skeleton; under the beautiful skin, there are flesh and blood!’ It means no matter how beautiful a person is, he or she will be turned into a skeleton after death. Only the inner beauty could never be forgotten!”
His words muted everyone in this area!
“Inside a beautiful woman, there is a skeleton; under the beautiful skin, there are flesh and blood!”
An old man repeated those words several times. Then, he gasped abruptly and said in surprise, “I didn’t expect you could have such a profound comprehension about life at such a young age! Could you tell me which sect are you in, please?”
“Heh-heh, you flatter me, senior! I learned from Master Bodhi when I was young. Now my Master is Tang Monk!” Xu Que replied, folding his hands politely. Hearing that, the old man was surprised. The rest of the onlookers were also confused for none of them had heard of the Master Bodhi and Tang Monk before!
Zixia Fairy also looked at Xu Que with puzzlement. Her eyes were full of surprise as she murmured in her heart, “I didn’t expect I could meet such a gifted young man at this desolate place! It is quite impressive for him to say ‘Inside a beautiful woman, there is a skeleton; under the beautiful skin, there are flesh and blood!’, which is so meaningful!”
“My lady, so what do you say? Do you want to go with me?” Xu Que asked gently as he looked at Zixia Fairy.
Zixia Fairy nodded, “My Lord, it is my honor to go together with you! And also thank you for supporting me just now!”
“Please don’t mention it! What I said just now was truth! By the way, how should I address you?” Xu Que asked politely.
Zixia Fairy hesitated a bit and replied, “You could call me Azi!”
Azi? The Zi from Zixia Fairy?
Hah-hah, this is interesting!
Xu Que smiled in his heart, and his facial expression wasn’t changed.
Then, he said gently, “OK, Lady Azi, please don’t call me ‘Lord’ anymore! I am just a disbanded cultivator and not a Lord! You can call me the damned monkey...Puff! No, please just call me Joker!”
“All right, let’s go!” Zixia Fairy ignored those details and was about to enter the abode, after nodding her head slightly. Xu Que was surprised a bit for he really couldn’t figure out Zixia Fairy’s purpose. How could she enter the abode with only one companion? What is she going to do? Could it be that there is a restrictive spell that she can’t break alone in the abode? Otherwise, there is no reason for her to do this!
