Thus, Eva randomly picked a lucky man in Heaven Dou City.

Then, with her unparalleled beauty and formidable strength, she effortlessly acquired a powerful family background and backing within Heaven Dou City.

With family and influence behind her, along with Eva's breathtaking beauty, everything that followed was child's play to her.

She easily entered Snow Night's harem and, even more easily, became its most favored woman.

And Snow Night himself, after drinking Eva's specially prepared wine, permanently lost the ability to father children.

In Eva's eyes, Snow Night was merely an aging tool that allowed her to indulge in a life of luxury and decadence.

Share a bed with Snow Night?

That would simply be a desecration of herself!

How could a decrepit old man possibly be worthy of being with her?

Eva only needed to use a simple illusion spell to make Snow Night sink into a paradise of tenderness.

Snow Night thought he had enjoyed every pleasure imaginable, but in truth, he had merely been entertaining himself with empty air.

In just a few months, Eva had firmly claimed the position of foremost figure in the harem. No one dared challenge her edge.

Snow Night doted on her and obeyed her every word, while the empire's high-ranking officials were also filled with awe toward this mysterious and beautiful woman.

And now, there was only one reason Eva had yet to become queen.

She had not borne a child.

A child had become the obstacle preventing her from becoming queen. Although Eva's current authority was no different from a queen's,

she adored the title of queen beyond measure. Thus, she had long been prepared for the matter of having a child.

It just so happened that Lin Wan had recently struck it lucky and drawn a large batch of character cards. Eva only needed to pick any child from among them.

At a glance, Eva selected her former child, Snow White.

The girl whose skin was as white as snow, whose lips were as red as rose petals, and whose hair was as black as ebony.

She would become the most useful tool in Eva's hands.

Snow White's first reaction to Queen Eva's proposal was to refuse.

After all, their past experiences together in the fairy-tale world had not been pleasant.

But after thinking it over for a moment, Snow White agreed.

Now, with the system's protection, they could not kill each other.

With her life guaranteed, becoming a princess was clearly a good choice.

At that moment, Eva lounged lazily on a soft couch covered in snow bear fur, idly playing with the Magic Mirror in her hand.

Once again, she asked the question she made sure to confirm every day.

"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, tell me, who is now the most beautiful woman on Douluo Continent?"

Strange ripples spread across the Magic Mirror's profound surface, and an obsequious voice, twisted nearly beyond recognition, sounded from within.

"My incomparably noble and radiant master! Your splendor is like the bright moon in the dark night, and your beauty is the Creator's most perfect masterpiece! Across this vast continent, at this very moment, only you, Her Majesty Queen Eva, are the one and only, supreme beauty! Your existence dims the stars and shames all flowers. You are beauty incarnate—you are the most beautiful woman on this continent!"

The Magic Mirror's absurdly exaggerated flattery had clearly struck right at Eva's heart.

"Ha ha ha ha ha—!"

A burst of brazen, unrestrained laughter erupted from Eva's lips and echoed through her luxurious bedchamber.

She rose to her feet, walked before an enormous full-length mirror, and admired the bewitching figure reflected within it.

"That's right!"

Facing her reflection, she declared resolutely, "I am the most beautiful woman on Douluo Continent! I possess unparalleled beauty. And soon, the Heaven Dou Empire's supreme power will belong to me as well."

Most people in Heaven Dou City did not take Snow Night's new favored consort seriously.

After all, in the eyes of Heaven Dou City's nobles, Eva was merely a beautiful woman.

They had seen far too many beautiful women in Heaven Dou City, and Eva was only one among them.

So what if Eva possessed peerless beauty? She was still merely a consort without children.

A favored consort without children was nothing more than a plaything in Snow Night's eyes.

As for what those people thought of her, Eva felt there was no need to worry. She had already written every one of them down in her little notebook.

Whenever she was in a bad mood, Eva would randomly choose one of them to torment for her own amusement.

Eva was not worried that she would be unable to deal with them. After all, her cultivation had now reached the rank of Soul Douluo. Though she could not be considered among the absolute strongest in all of Heaven Dou City, she still ranked near the top.

As for Heaven Dou City's nobles, their bodies had been nurtured with heavenly treasures since childhood, their soul rings had been selected with painstaking care, and they cultivated only half-heartedly. They had never suffered even a little for cultivation in their entire lives.

How could they possibly escape Eva's grasp?

As for those in Heaven Dou City whose cultivation surpassed Eva's, most of them served as protectors of their respective sects. Their hearts were firmly set on cultivation, and they paid no attention at all to political affairs.

And in Heaven Dou City, Ning Fengzhi was one of the few people who did not underestimate Eva.

As the only one among the upper three sects composed entirely of auxiliary-system soul masters, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's leader, Ning Fengzhi, had always been concerned about the sect's future development.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect currently had two Title Douluo, Gu Rong and Chen Xin, neither of them was young. Once they passed away, what would become of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi set his sights on the Heaven Dou Empire's future crown prince.

He needed to prepare in advance for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. On one hand, he would continue seeking exceptionally talented soul masters; on the other, he would find the sect a powerful patron.

And now, the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince, Xue Qinghe, was the person Ning Fengzhi had chosen to place his bet on.

Heaven Dou City, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect residence.

It was an elegant, tranquil garden estate steeped in heritage at every turn.

At this moment, incense smoke curled through the sect leader's study, but the atmosphere carried a hint of gravity.

Ning Fengzhi gently set down his teacup and turned his gaze toward the young man seated opposite him.

The young man was the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince, Xue Qinghe, and also Ning Fengzhi's disciple.

Xue Qinghe wore the crown prince's casual attire. His features were handsome, his demeanor steady and reserved, and he carried an innate air of nobility.

Yet at that moment, there was also a trace of barely perceptible contemplation between his brows.

"Qinghe."

Looking at the still-pensive Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi asked, "What do you think of Madam Eva, the woman your father has recently favored so greatly?"

He did not use the frivolous term favored consort, instead referring to Eva with the more formal title of Madam. This alone showed how seriously he regarded her.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, swiftly considered the matter inwardly.

She had played Xue Qinghe for a year already and had thoroughly grasped this crown prince's personality, habits, and way of thinking.

She knew that Ning Fengzhi's question was by no means casual conversation.
