Nuwa had remained calm and composed throughout. She was certain that, when it came to beauty in the Three Realms, no one could compare with her.

She had never believed her beauty inferior to anyone else's. Even setting aside her achievements in creating humanity and her grace in creating the world, she was fully confident that her appearance alone was enough to secure her the top spot!

Upon hearing Su Yang's words, everyone was stunned.

He had never even met those Fairy Maidens, yet he dared to rank the female immortals of the Three Realms?

But then they thought about it again. Perhaps he had extensive knowledge and truly knew which Fairy Maiden was the most beautiful in the Three Realms!

Without the slightest hesitation, someone looked at Su Yang and immediately said:

"Mister Su, then tell us—which Fairy Maiden in the Three Realms has the most outstanding appearance?"

"Exactly, Mister Su. You're widely experienced. Why not tell us how the beauties of the Three Realms rank?"

"I'm really curious how many powerful figures' names will appear on Mister Su's list!"

Hearing everyone's questions, a faint smile also appeared on Su Yang's face.

Although Su Yang had not seen every beauty in the Three Realms, his understanding of the Primordial World was far from lacking.

As for the many female immortals of the Primordial World, he could not claim to know everything about them, but he knew them in considerable detail.

Making a ranking of the Three Realms' beauties was no difficult task for him.

Su Yang gently shook the folding fan in his hand. The first name he spoke immediately plunged the entire audience into silence.

"Without a doubt, the person at the top of this list is none other than the legendary Empress Nuwa."

"In ancient times, Empress Nuwa created humanity. She is the Mother of the Human Race, so it goes without saying that her appearance is one of the most peerless in the Three Realms.

"Needless to say, apart from her beauty, her strength also ranks among the very best in the Three Realms. Surely none of you are unfamiliar with the title of Saint Nuwa?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the listeners all around him revealed surprised expressions. Then someone spoke up.

"Mister Su, Empress Nuwa's beauty is indeed the greatest in the Three Realms, but surely no one in the Three Realms is unaware of that?"

"That's right, Mister Su. Back then, Empress Nuwa's statue was enough to make King Zhou fall completely in love with her. We accept Empress Nuwa as your first choice, but tell us about the others!"

"Exactly, exactly! Your first choice is far too predictable, Mister Su. We want to hear something new. Tell us about some other Fairy Maidens."

Nuwa, seated in the front row, was initially delighted after hearing Su Yang's words. But after hearing what everyone else said, her expression darkened slightly.

Could I not even qualify for first place?

Su Yang remained calm and smiled faintly as he continued:

"Very well. Since that's the case, we'll place Empress Nuwa at the top of the list as the most beautiful female immortal in the Three Realms. How does that sound?"

"That's only right, but hurry up and tell us about the others, Mister Su."

"Exactly, Mister Su. Tell us about the other female immortals so we can broaden our horizons."

Su Yang nodded slightly and then said:

"Very well. Since everyone wants to hear it, I'll tell you about the female immortal who ranks second in my heart. Her bearing is in no way inferior to Empress Nuwa's."

"I believe all of you have heard this Fairy Maiden's title as well."

"She is Empress Houtu, once one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch-Demon Era and now the ruler of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shaken once again. They all turned toward Su Yang in unison, as though they had seen a ghost.

"Mister Su, this is truly hard for people to accept. Empress Houtu and Empress Nuwa are both famous beauties throughout the Three Realms. Who could hear that and not be completely convinced?"

"That's right, that's right! Mister Su, name a few more! A few more!"

Everyone began to cheer noisily, urging Su Yang to continue.

Su Yang had named two extraordinary figures right from the start. Their names were known by practically everyone in the Three Realms, so why would they need him to emphasize them further?

Who would dare question the status of Empress Nuwa and Empress Houtu?

"Since that's the case, then continue."

Su Yang smiled faintly and continued:

"Besides Empress Nuwa and Empress Houtu, there are still many female immortals in the Three Realms whose beauty could astonish the world. Their appearances can also be called peerless."

"For example, Empress Queen Mother of the Jade Pool."

The crowd immediately fell speechless after hearing this.

Heavens, why are all the people Mister Su mentions such eminent figures?

Although they had never seen these Fairy Maidens' appearances with their own eyes, their reputations for beauty had long spread far and wide. Could they possibly be false?

Su Yang did not stop and continued:

"Besides Queen Mother of the Jade Pool, isn't the mother of the Heavenly Court's God of War, True Lord Erlang—Empress Yao Ji—also an unparalleled beauty capable of bringing down a kingdom?"

"It is said that Empress Yao Ji also has a daughter named Yang Chan, who is now serving as Mount Hua's guardian and stationed at Western Peak."

As soon as he finished speaking, Third Holy Mother, seated toward the back of the crowd, blushed. She had not expected her name to actually be mentioned!

Yet at that moment, she also felt somewhat uneasy. After all, her name had been placed alongside that of Queen Mother of the Jade Pool, such a powerful figure. It made her feel that something was inappropriate.

Still, she chose to remain silent. In any case, she was not the one who had made this ranking. Even if someone was truly dissatisfied, it had nothing to do with her.

"Besides these figures, there are countless other beautiful women in the Three Realms. For example, the two Lunar Goddesses on the Lunar Star, Changxi and Xi He."

"There are also the Dragon Princess in the East Sea Dragon Palace, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden from Above the Nine Heavens, and the Buddha Maiden of the Great Thunderclap Temple in the west.

"There was no doubt that their beauty was also of the highest order."

"Of course, there were also the Three Sanxiao Maidens of the former Interception Sect—Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao. Their appearances were absolutely among the most outstanding in the Three Realms as well."

After he finished, Su Yang glanced at the stunned crowd and then asked with a smile, "Well? Are you satisfied with the Fairy Maidens I mentioned?"

"Mister Su, you mentioned so many of them. Why not rank these Fairy Maidens?"

"That's right, Mister Su. Didn't you say this was a ranking? Aside from Empress Nuwa and Empress Houtu taking first and second place, why haven't you ranked the others?"

"Exactly. We're very curious. In your heart, who ranks third besides those two?"

As he listened to everyone's persistent questions, a faint smile also appeared on Su Yang's face.

Then he snorted and said, "You people really love to talk. Do I have to offend the female immortals of the Three Realms and make them dislike me before you'll be satisfied?"

As soon as he said this, the listeners around him also came to their senses.

Someone immediately burst out laughing. It turned out that even Mister Su had things he was wary of.

It was no wonder Su Yang did not dare casually assign them rankings.

Inside the System Space.

Su Yang looked at the points he had obtained this time, and excitement involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

Because the heavenly tribulation had descended this time and triggered the Zixiao Divine Thunder, the entire Three Realms seemed to be watching Qingshan City.

As a result, Su Yang now had a full thirty thousand points in his hands!

What kind of number was that?

One hundred points were enough for one draw from the Blue Prize Pool, while one draw from the Purple Prize Pool required one thousand points!

Thirty thousand points meant that Su Yang could make thirty consecutive draws from the Purple Prize Pool!

And if he continued working hard, perhaps he might even reach the Gold Prize Pool in the future!

"You're done talking?"
