"Everyone, do you think Ruthless Great Emperor can bear the title of the most beautiful woman of the present age?"
Su Yang smiled faintly and asked everyone present.
Only after hearing him point it out did the crowd recover from the shock of that divine thunder destroying the world.
Who exactly was this man? He had erased the heavenly tribulation with a single sentence just now!
And his expression had remained calm, as though that earth-shaking feat had been nothing more than a casual act.
He could actually still smile and ask them what they thought of Ruthless Great Emperor?
What else could they think? Who had dared to think about it just now?
Although the thunder outside had ceased and Heavenly Might had dissipated, everyone still felt shaken, afraid that mentioning Ruthless Great Emperor would trigger Heaven's wrath again.
But there was always someone who could not hold back from speaking.
"Mister Su, Ruthless Great Emperor... did she get to wait for that person in the end?"
"Although you said she chose a path without regrets, I'm still curious. Did she really get to wait for the person she was willing to give everything for?"
"As for that question, we'll reveal the answer later." Su Yang smiled lightly and changed the subject.
"But for now, we're discussing whether Ruthless Great Emperor can be called the most beautiful woman of the present age."
As soon as he said this, the surroundings fell into contemplation.
In terms of talent, Ruthless Great Emperor had undoubtedly reached the pinnacle. No one throughout the ages could compare with her. But when it came to appearance, there were truly people who doubted whether she was really as breathtakingly beautiful as the legends claimed.
The only one throughout the ages to begin with a Mortal Body, yet ascend to the pinnacle!
And when her path to immortality had been smooth, she had abandoned it without hesitation, solely for a single wait in the mortal world. With such talent, who could compare with her?
"Mister Su, Ruthless Great Emperor's talent naturally makes her one of the foremost figures of the present age. But her appearance has always been concealed behind a bronze mask, so we have no way of knowing what she truly looks like."
"That's right, Mister Su. You say she is peerlessly beautiful, but none of us have ever seen her true appearance. How can we know whether she really possesses the legendary beauty capable of toppling cities?"
"In my opinion, although Ruthless Great Emperor is as beautiful as a celestial maiden in your words, there are probably quite a few Fairy Maidens in the Heavenly Realm who surpass her."
"That's right. For example, the legendary Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and Fairy Maiden Chang'e from the moon star..."
"And the countless celestial maidens in the Heavenly Court. They may not necessarily be inferior to her."
The crowd discussed animatedly, their words growing more heated. They went from Ruthless Great Emperor to the Fairy Maidens of the Heavenly Realm, from talent to appearance, and eventually even argued endlessly over who was superior.
Watching the raucous scene, Su Yang shook his head helplessly and slowly said, "Why must everyone argue over this?"
The moment Su Yang spoke, the surrounding listeners' emotions were ignited.
Someone immediately asked impatiently, "Mister Su, you have such extensive knowledge and must have encountered many extraordinary people and strange events. May I ask whether you have ever had the fortune to meet the Fairy Maidens of the Heavenly Court?"
Another person quickly cut in, "Even if Mister Su's origins are extraordinary, that doesn't necessarily mean he has truly met the Fairy Maidens of the Heavenly Court.
"Otherwise, how could the most beautiful woman in your heart be Ruthless Great Emperor?"
"That makes sense. It seems Mister Su has never personally seen a Fairy Maiden's appearance either."
"I truly wonder whether we'll ever have the chance in our lifetimes to witness the beauty of a celestial Fairy Maiden."
"Stop indulging in fantasies. Something like that is ultimately unrelated to ordinary people like us. In my opinion, my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world."
Someone beside him immediately teased, "Give me a break. Who doesn't know your wife's face is covered in pockmarks? What did you see in her back then?"
Those words infuriated the man, and the two immediately began arguing.
Seeing that the scene was becoming somewhat chaotic, Su Yang felt a slight headache and let out a soft sigh.
"Everyone, love contains beauty of its own. Who can define what another person considers beautiful?"
"To me, truly moving beauty is simply seeing each other reflected in one another's eyes."
"Besides, who says that because I haven't met a Fairy Maiden, I can't choose the most beautiful Fairy Maiden in the Three Realms?"
These words immediately attracted everyone's attention. The crowd turned toward Su Yang in unison, their hearts filled with anticipation as they waited to hear what he would say next.
Su Yang smiled faintly, looked around at everyone, and said:
"Today's storytelling session is nearly over. So I'll tell everyone which Fairy Maiden in the Primordial World possesses the most outstanding appearance."
Biyou Palace.
San Xiao heard Su Yang's words, and a trace of surprise flashed through their eyes.
They were extremely confident in their beauty. In the Three Realms, there were only a handful whose appearance could surpass theirs.
At this moment, a hint of curiosity rose in their hearts. Would Su Yang include their names among them?
Qiongxiao spoke first. "Sister, Su Yang probably hasn't seen us before, right? Perhaps he doesn't even know that San Xiao exist.
"If he doesn't mention us, why don't we personally go to the inn in Qingshan City next time and listen to his storytelling?"
Bixiao nodded. "That sounds good. We stay in Biyou Palace all day, doing nothing but cultivating and meditating. It's time we took a trip through the Primordial World."
After hearing this, Yunxiao also nodded lightly. Although she said nothing, she did not object.
A hint of anticipation also rose in her heart. She wondered whether Su Yang would mention their names next.
The Netherworld.
After hearing Su Yang's words, a trace of interest appeared in Houtu's eyes.
She waved her hand lightly, and a bright mirror appeared before her. Gazing at the peerlessly beautiful reflection within it, Houtu's lips curved upward into a faint smile.
"Leaving everything else aside, when it comes to appearance alone, surely no one in the Primordial World can surpass me, Houtu?"
The corners of Houtu's lips lifted slightly, and a hint of anticipation and curiosity appeared in her expression.
She wanted to know whether Su Yang would mention her name, and how he would describe her appearance.
After all, in the current Earthly Immortal Realm, aside from those mighty beings with boundless power, almost no one knew of her deeds.
Naturally, a question arose in her heart: if Su Yang truly mentioned her title, where had he learned it?
In a garden somewhere in the Heavenly Court, Queen Mother of the Jade Pool sat by the pool.
The water mirror before her reflected a scene from the inn in Qingshan City thousands of miles away. Su Yang's conversation with the crowd could be seen clearly.
"He actually dares to rank the female immortals of the Three Realms? This man is truly audacious. In all these years, no one has ever dared to do such a thing."
Looking at the figure in the mirror, Jade Pool's lips curved into an amused smile as she pondered inwardly:
"Although he has a Mortal Body, he possesses the means to resolve the heavenly tribulation. He does have some ability. But if this ranking is inappropriate and he offends some female immortal, his fate will likely be grim."
"If he ranks me a little higher, I suppose I could protect him once."
In the Three Realms, what woman did not wish to be beautiful enough to topple a city?
Jade Pool was no exception. She held herself in high regard and was confident that no one in the Three Realms could surpass her in appearance.
It was only because she was the wife of the Jade Emperor and no one dared provoke her lightly that no one had ever compared them publicly.
But now, she could not help wondering what kind of ranking Su Yang would give her.
In the inn, Changxi and Xi He listened with great interest, secretly pondering:
"With the beauty of the two of us sisters, we should naturally rank among the foremost female immortals of the Three Realms. I wonder how Su Yang will rank us?"
They also had their doubts. Su Yang had personally said that he had never met the female immortals of the Heavenly Court. How could he give a fair assessment?
In the corner, Third Holy Mother was also pondering. She wondered whether Su Yang would call out her name.
