Hearing about it was one thing; seeing it with their own eyes was another.
In their eyes, Xu Yi was simply too handsome, too perfect. They could hardly help suspecting he was human.
Now, seeing the star pattern on Xu Yi's chest, they were finally reassured.
What followed was a chorus of praise.
"Brother Xu's looks would make even Li Silang, Lover's Regret Lord under King Huang, feel ashamed by comparison."
Jing Ping praised him sincerely, then suddenly reached out and insisted Xu Yi leave his mark on her hand.
Xu Yi couldn't refuse, so he took out a calligraphy brush and wrote his surname: "Xu."
Tu Guan said, "With looks like Brother Xu's, he must come from a noble background. Perhaps he even carries the bloodline of some mighty primordial being. It's truly hard not to admire him."
Xiong Dao suddenly bowed to King Pingding. "Congratulations, Great King!"
King Pingding chuckled. "What is there to congratulate me for?"
Though he said that, he knew full well.
Xiong Dao smiled. "I congratulate you on gaining a great talent. With Brother Xu's peerless looks alone, when our Pingding Demon Cave visits King Huang's demon manor again, he's sure to dazzle everyone and boost the morale of our cave. That alone is reason enough to congratulate you. What do you think, Great King?"
"Hahaha..."
King Pingding burst into laughter. Grabbing Xu Yi by the arm, he declared, "Old Bear hit the nail on the head! Brother Xu, I won't ask about your origins, and I won't ask you to do anything for me. Just come with me whenever I visit the demon manor. If you can do that, you'll bring rare honor to Pingding Demon Cave. Hahaha! Enough talk. Strike up the music, bring on the dancers, and set out the feast!"
