The Three Beauties' Contest
As Murong Zhe dodged, he recognized the other person's identity. "Are you Lin Xiu, the Floating Life Sword?"
"I didn't expect anyone to remember me. It seems you're from the same generation as me. As a fellow father, I'm sure you can understand my feelings—come on, let's fight! Let's use this last minute to pave the way for our children's future!"
The two fathers unleashed their full power, engaging in a fierce life-or-death struggle without reservation.
On the other side, three figures accelerated towards the finish line, squeezing out all the power within them, bringing the long-running competition to a halt.
Narrator-kun: The winners of this competition are Si Huaruo, Liu Qingqing, Murong Wu!
Clapping, clap clap...
Narrator-kun: Next up is the long-awaited popularity vote. Each person can vote for a maximum of two characters, with a maximum of one vote per character. You can vote for the character's name or in the comments section. Please don't vote for too many characters, as fake popularity is meaningless. Finally, please come up on stage to give your final summary remarks.
Liu Qingqing:
Let's just put in a little effort. My next goal is to make sure everyone remembers my name.  ̄△ ̄
Hongdou:
I hope everyone can be friends in harmony and love, sharing happiness together, and that no one will bully anyone else (0^◇^0)/
Murong Qing:
Where righteousness lies, I will go even if it means facing a million enemies. (* ̄ ̄)
Murong Wu:
Sis, saying things like that won't get you any popularity... Hey, why am I a candidate too? Something's wrong Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Yu Shuying:
Hmph, anyway, it's an unlikable, third-rate character. Vote all you want, I don't care about popularity or anything (* ̄ ̄).
Yuezheng Yao:
Yu, no matter how I look at it, I'm definitely at the bottom. After all, I only appeared a few times and didn't leave any impression on the readers at all (╥╥).
Si Jingyu:
Sigh, a forbidden love that can never be obtained, only guarded from the sidelines... Actually, you could bypass it by switching bodies in the plot, right? o( ̄▽ ̄)d
Si Huaruo:
Forbidden love, body swapping—that's utterly shameless! I absolutely won't allow it! O(≧口≦)O
Si Shuiyun:
Huh? I got one too? Then please vote for the young lady, because she represents the truth! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
Ling Huanxi:
(-;-)
Yao Bilian:
Wait a minute! Why didn't I appear in the Lunar New Year special? Is there some kind of prejudice against married women? I appeared in the very first chapter, but I've been relegated to a minor supporting character who hasn't shown up in over a hundred chapters! I strongly protest and demand more screen time! Unlike those little brats, I, a mature older sister, can (beep--) and (beep--), even (beep--) isn't out of the question, right? (^?^*)

Chapter 535 The Battle of the Three Beauties
"Husband, why are you only arriving now? I've been waiting for you for a full six months! I'm practically a statue waiting for my husband to come."
Accompanied by a coquettish voice, Si Jingyu appeared at the classroom door, with Si Shuiyun following behind her as always, like a shadow.
Murong Qing's eyes sharpened, and Si Ming in a nonchalant tone, "Aren't you going to explain?"
The instructions are fine, but could you please move the shoe off my instep? Luckily, I have Mercury Alloy Body, so I don't feel any pain at all.
Did I foresee this scenario and that's why I insisted on cultivating the "Supreme Plain Decay True Scripture"?
There's no time for Si Ming to think about this carefully right now. Although Si Jingyu and Murong Qing completely different personalities, they are both equally assertive. The two meeting would be the worst possible scenario, no less than a collision of planets.
In a split second, Si Ming, quick-witted as ever, displayed his seasoned acting skills, flashing a cheerful smile and greeting her warmly, "Sister, it's my fault for keeping you waiting so long, but you shouldn't have joked like that. I really can't stand it."
"Joke?"
Before Murong Qing could even raise any questions, the onlookers, who were eager to see what would happen, immediately started discussing it.
"Is she my biological sister or just a adopted sister I randomly chose?"
"Of course, it's the kind of close-knit older sister and younger brother relationship. Wasn't that quite popular in high school and junior high? Close male and female classmates would recognize each other as brother and sister or something, but everyone knows what the real situation was."
"But don't you think they look a bit alike? I bet even if they're not siblings, they're at least cousins or some other kind of relatives."
"That's possible. They both share the surname 'Si,' and Si Ming is listed as a Nation of Beauty exchange student on the student register, just like Si Jingyu is also from the Nation of Beauty."
Hearing the discussion where everyone seemed to believe him, Si Ming breathed a sigh of relief. The remaining half of his relief rested on Si Jingyu; if this person involved denied it outright, his position would be rather awkward.
Fortunately, Si Jingyu didn't seem to have any intention of doing that. She opened a fan with a whoosh, revealing the words "When truth is taken for falsehood, falsehood becomes truth" written on it. She covered her mouth and giggled, "I've been waiting all New Year's just to say that, so it's only right that I scare you a little."
"It really is your sister!" Hao Shuai immediately jumped out, tightly grasped Si Ming's hand, and pleaded, "From now on, please call me brother-in-law."
Before Si Ming could do anything, Si Shuiyun moved swiftly, delivering a close-range, short-range punch that struck Hao Shuai squarely in the stomach. The hidden force penetrated his body, and even with his Spirit Rhino Iron Skin Art, it didn't dissipate much of the damage. Hao Shuai was in so much pain that he curled up like a shrimp, his eyes bulging outwards. He stammered a few words and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Anyone who dares to take advantage of Miss, I'll chop them into mincemeat and make them into lion's head meatballs."
