The World Is Shaken, All Sides Speculate

Spirit Hall.

At this moment, Bibi Dong, clad in a purple robe and exuding cold pride, gripped her scepter as she frowned at the scene before her.

Since Spirit Hall's founding ten thousand years ago, it had never witnessed anything so strange.

As she was still pondering, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo stepped out and bowed beneath the platform.

"Your Excellency the Pope, we offer our early congratulations!"

The moment the Heavenly Curtain announced that it would reveal the continent's twenty-five most beautiful women.

They immediately concluded that Bibi Dong would certainly make the list!

Looking across the entire continent, there were only a handful of women whose beauty could surpass hers.

"What do you mean by that?" Bibi Dong's icy voice rang out.

Chrysanthemum Douluo slightly raised his head and smiled in his effeminate voice.

"Your Excellency the Pope, is there any woman in this world more beautiful than you?"

His words left Bibi Dong momentarily stunned, a trace of blankness flashing through her beautiful eyes.

After a moment, she could not help lowering her head to examine herself.

Though she had borne a child, she knew how to preserve her beauty. Her skin was still as clear and cold as jade, and her figure as lovely as a flower.

Even sitting here, she remained graceful and alluring, her temperament cold and pure like that of a sixteen-year-old girl.

"Humph!"

But in the next instant, a cold voice shattered the silence of the hall.

"Do you think that I, the Pope of Spirit Hall, would care about such things?"

At once, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo lowered their heads again.

"Please calm your anger, Your Excellency the Pope."

Bibi Dong spoke indifferently, but the hand holding her scepter unconsciously tightened.

"Still, what does this Yin Yang Fusion mean?"

"Is it some special Martial Soul?" Bibi Dong asked doubtfully.

On Douluo Continent, the concept of Dual Cultivation had never existed.

She did not understand what Yin Yang Fusion was and could only interpret it according to her usual understanding.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances, then both shook their heads. "We do not know."

Bibi Dong said no more upon seeing this. And what about that phrase, "gain her favor"?

What a joke. If she made the list, then on this continent, who else could possibly gain her favor?

Then she thought of her disciple, Hu Liena, whose looks were not lacking either.

Coupled with the charm brought by her Nine-tailed Fox Martial Soul, even ordinary Soul Masters found her difficult to resist.

She would definitely make the list. Entering the top fifteen should not be a problem.

As for the rewards, Bibi Dong was rather curious.

Although Spirit Hall possessed immense wealth and resources, there was never such a thing as too many treasures.

Then her heart skipped a beat.

She thought again of that bastard who had been lurking in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace for more than a decade, possessing features similar to her own.

With the blessing of the Angel Clan's bloodline, she naturally would not be lacking either.

Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Great Enshrinement stood in the main hall, quietly watching the Heavenly Ranking in the sky.

Golden Crocodile could not help laughing. "Big Brother, our Xue'er is so beautiful. She'll definitely make the list!"

"She also has the Angel Bloodline, with such elegant and noble bearing."

"I think she'll either be first or second!"

And there was also the great beauty Bibi Dong over at Spirit Hall. She would definitely make the list as well.

Right, her disciple Hu Liena should qualify too.

By that count, Spirit Hall would have three people on it!

Qian Daoliu, dressed in white robes, nodded in agreement, but he first let out a sigh.

"Alas..."

"I don't know what has gotten into that girl lately. She suddenly sent me a message saying that she isn't young anymore and wants to get married..."

"Wh... what?!"

Golden Crocodile was utterly shocked and turned toward Qian Daoliu in disbelief.

If he did not know his Big Brother so well, he would have thought he was joking.

"Has Xue'er found a Beloved?"

Qian Daoliu frowned and pondered for a moment. "Most likely."

"Do you remember how, a few years ago, she told us that she had met a very special young man?"

"I think, barring any surprises, it should be him."

Golden Crocodile shook his head. "She is still undercover. How can she get married?"

"Besides, neither of us has even met that boy. How could we agree to this?"

Qian Daoliu looked toward the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, concern in his eyes.

"Forget it. What worries me most is not that, but whether Xue'er's identity will be exposed if she makes the list."

"This... is indeed a problem." Golden Crocodile also revealed a worried expression.

"Let's first see how the rankings are announced. If Xue'er is in danger, then you and I will act."

Qian Daoliu looked helplessly at the Heavenly Curtain. Plans could not keep up with changes.

"Still, Second Brother, what does this Yin Yang Fusion mean?"

"Big Brother, I was just about to ask you the same thing."

Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the sky with a solemn expression.

He called himself Douluo Continent's number one Grandmaster and had studied countless ancient texts, yet he had never seen anything so bizarre.

Behind him stood Tang San, Xiao Wu, and several others.

All of them were looking up at the Heavenly Ranking, utterly astonished.

"Since it is a ranking of peerless beauties, then... Bibi Dong should make the list too, right?"

Yu Xiaogang thought of the peerless Girl he had met in his youth.

She had been so beautiful that he had been willing to abandon everything for her.

But now, he was already old and frail.

Remembering those past events, he could not help shaking his head. They were people from two different worlds now.

Having just pushed Bibi Dong from his mind, he recalled his cousin again.

That fiery Girl who had once traveled the continent with him and Flender—Liu Erlong.

"Er Long will definitely make the list."

"Back then, she had admirers wherever she went. She caused the two of us plenty of trouble."

Flender walked over from the side with a smile.

Thinking back to the scenes of their youth, he too could not help lamenting that time spared no one.

"Perhaps..."

"We have not seen her for many years."

"The last time we met was when we parted ways."

"So many years have passed now. I wonder how she has been doing."

At that moment, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu beside him and smiled. "Xiao Wu, you should make the list!"

"Huh? Really, Brother? I don't understand these things."

Xiao Wu was exceptionally sweet and adorable.

At the moment, she was somewhat confused. She could not understand this Ranking List.

"Mm, Xiao Wu is indeed very beautiful. There is a high chance that she will make the list."

Yu Xiaogang believed Xiao Wu could make the list, but he could not say what rank she would achieve.

After all, Douluo Continent was vast and rich in talent. There were surely many women with outstanding appearances.

"Xiaogang, you are so knowledgeable. What does this Yin Yang Fusion at the end mean?"

Flender asked in confusion. He had never heard that term before.

Yu Xiaogang stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Though I am honored as Douluo's number one Grandmaster, this is also the first time I have seen such a thing."

"And the Heavenly Ranking also says that anyone who makes the Ranking List can receive strange rewards. As for what they are, we do not know yet."

"But I am certain that Xiao Wu making this list will bring nothing but benefits!"

Tang San happily stroked Xiao Wu's head. "Did you hear that, Xiao Wu? Making the Ranking List comes with many benefits."

Xiao Wu closed her eyes and enjoyed his touch. "Mm-hm."

Dark Night Arena.

"Qin Chen, do you think I can make the list with my looks?"

Qian Renxue asked with a smile, sounding perfectly casual.

But in truth, she had an ulterior motive for asking.

After all, Qin Chen had never seriously praised her before, which had dealt her quite a blow.

As long as he acknowledged that she could make the list, it meant he acknowledged her beauty in his heart!

Then she would have the motivation to keep pursuing him!

As for her identity being exposed?

The one exposed would be Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall. What did that have to do with Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire?

"You'll definitely make the list." Qin Chen nodded without hesitation.

But would this Ranking List really be a good thing to make?

"Still, I hope neither you nor Zhu Zhuqing makes the list," Qin Chen added.

The two women froze, unable to understand why he would say that.

"Are you afraid that if I rank too high, I'll have more admirers in the future and ignore you?"

Qian Renxue spoke as if joking, edging closer to Qin Chen.

Zhu Zhuqing's cold and gorgeous expression changed as well. She grabbed Qin Chen's sleeve.

"Monarch, Zhu Qing will always remain by your side!"

Bang!

The door to the lounge behind them was suddenly pushed open again.

A plump and charming beautiful woman in a green qipao, with a curvaceous figure, strode inside.

"Xiao Chen, do you think your Sister Liu can make the list?"

Before he could turn around, a fragrant softness appeared behind Qin Chen and slowly wrapped him in an embrace.

"Sister Liu, making the list isn't necessarily a good thing..."

Qin Chen gently loosened the arms around his waist.

It was only because of Qian Renxue's murderous gaze at his side and Zhu Zhuqing's resentful expression.
