Goddess Pavilion, Judging the Goddesses of the World

The next day, at noon.

After a morning of travel, Feng Xiaotian finally arrived at Skywater Lake, ten li outside Skywater City.

Looking at the shimmering lake, he saw that it covered at least 2,000 square kilometers. It was about the same size as Lake Tai and Lake Dongting in his previous life, making it one of the largest lakes in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Skywater Academy was located on an island in Skywater Lake, but it wasn't a place just anyone could visit.

Skywater Lake looked safe, but it was actually a gathering place for Soul Beasts, much like Sunset Forest.

One was in a forest, while the other was in a lake. That was also why Skywater Academy had chosen to establish itself on an island in Skywater Lake.

For one thing, it made finding Soul Beasts convenient; for another, it prevented unnecessary disturbances.

After all, Skywater Academy had no shortage of goddesses, so its appeal went without saying. Without an invitation or the academy's consent, others weren't even qualified to set foot on the island.

Feng Xiaotian currently needed to win over goddesses to increase his daily spending limit. What mattered was winning them over, not merely spending money on them every day. He had to make the goddesses truly fall in love with him.

In that case, Feng Xiaotian naturally chose the goddesses who were easiest to win over for now, and planned to win over as many as possible.

Feng Xiaotian had laid the foundation for friendship with several goddesses from Skywater Academy during the exchange tournament. They were his best choice at present, and there were plenty of goddesses here. Winning over a few more wasn't out of the question.

But to visit Skywater Academy, he had to register at the academy's office on the dock and wait until his visit had been reported and approved before he could enter.

Yet when he arrived at the office, he hesitated.

If he visited just like that, stayed at Skywater Academy and kept giving them gifts, judging by the rate at which their affection increased in the system, he couldn't possibly stay at the academy for months, could he?

No matter how good their relationship was, Skywater Academy probably wouldn't allow it or let him break its rules like that. In the end, he would only earn himself a reputation as a licking dog.

The next moment, Feng Xiaotian had a new idea.

Seven days later, in a prime location in Skywater City, a newly renovated and extraordinarily luxurious building drew the attention of countless passersby.

The plaque above the entrance bore the words "Goddess Pavilion" in large characters.

Two women who looked to be in their twenties stood at the entrance beneath the plaque.

A sign also stood in front of the entrance.

From the moment it was put up, it attracted countless people's attention.

Someone read the words on the sign aloud: "Goddess Pavilion, judging the goddesses of the world. Goddesses who pass the evaluation can collect at least 10,000 Gold Soul Coins from the Goddess Pavilion every month. The higher their score, the more often they can collect rewards, and the more cultivation resources they can receive!"

"Goddesses are scored in three categories: looks, charm, and temperament. Together, these determine the final score."

"Those with an overall score of 90 to 95 may be called Ordinary Goddesses. They can collect at least 10,000 Gold Soul Coins once a month."

"Those with an overall score of 96 or above may be called Exquisite Goddesses. There is no limit to how many times they can collect rewards each month, and they can collect at least 50,000 Gold Soul Coins every day!"

"Every goddess who enters the Goddess Pavilion for evaluation will be included in the continent-wide goddess rankings. Who is the number one goddess on the continent? Who is number two? Where can you rank? Come to the Goddess Pavilion and you definitely won't be disappointed..."

"Heavens, who on earth is behind this? Do they have more money than they know what to do with?"

"Goddess Pavilion? Who organized it?"

"Shall I give it a try?"

As they spoke, a tall woman who considered herself fairly attractive walked forward.

But when she reached the entrance, she was stopped by two exceptionally pretty, short-haired twins wearing matching uniforms. "Sorry, you aren't qualified to enter the Goddess Pavilion yet."

The tall woman was a little angry at being rejected. "Why don't I qualify?"

One of the short-haired women said, "Did you see the lamp you just walked past? If you meet the minimum requirement, it will light up. If it doesn't, that means your overall score is below 90!"

The tall woman could hardly believe it. "How is that possible? I'm so pretty. There's no way I don't qualify."

Just then, a woman in a Skywater Academy uniform stepped out of the crowd. The instant she walked past, the lamp lit up.

The short-haired woman immediately said, "She passed. Can you compare to her?"

The tall woman looked back and saw a sweet-looking woman who was younger than her, had a better figure, and crushed her in every respect.

"I..."

The woman from Skywater Academy said, "Can I go in and give it a try?"

After all, this was the Goddess Pavilion. According to the sign, it judged the goddesses of the world. Any goddess would want to know where her looks ranked on the continent, and there were plenty of benefits to be had. Why not?

The short-haired woman smiled. "Please, go in..."

About five minutes after the Skywater Academy woman entered, she came back out with a smile on her face.

The screen in front of the entrance displayed: He Shui Qing, looks: 91, charm: 91, temperament: 92, overall: 91. Meets the requirements for a goddess. Reward: 10,000 Gold Soul Coins.

"You really got 10,000 Gold Soul Coins?" everyone asked.

He Shui Qing nodded happily. For one thing, she was very satisfied to have been rated at the goddess level. After all, her looks could only be considered ordinary among the many goddesses of Skywater Academy. Being rated a goddess was enough.

For another, she had actually received 10,000 Gold Soul Coins, and she could collect them every month from now on. What would she need to work hard for in the future? She only needed to be beautiful.

"Of course it's true!" After saying that, He Shui Qing left at once. She couldn't wait to go back and tell her good sisters at the academy.

Quite a few more people stepped forward afterward, wanting to give it a try, but unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of them didn't qualify.

By the end of the morning, only three people had met the requirements. All three were Ordinary Goddesses, however, and each left with a good number of Gold Soul Coins.

At noon, the Goddess Pavilion's doors closed.

The twins came before Feng Xiaotian, and one of them said, "Boss, today's task is complete!"

Feng Xiaotian smiled. "Xiu'er, Xin'er, both of your overall scores reached 93 too. Here are 60,000 Gold Soul Coins, 30,000 for each of you!"

The older twin was named Lin Xiu'er, and the younger was Lin Xin'er! Both had just turned eighteen, but neither was a Soul Master, because they had no Innate Soul Power!

Feng Xiaotian had met them a few days ago, and through a chance encounter, they were now both working for him!

The next moment, Lin Xiu'er and Lin Xin'er immediately knelt. "Boss, you saved our father and put us on the path of cultivation. We sisters couldn't possibly accept so many Gold Soul Coins."

Feng Xiaotian said, "If I'm giving them to you, take them. Don't you want your parents to live better lives in the future?"

"This..." The twin sisters exchanged a glance. "Thank you, boss!"

The moment the two women accepted, Feng Xiaotian felt their affection for him shoot up.

Perhaps because he had saved their father a few days ago after he was injured by a Soul Beast in Skywater Lake, their affection for him had multiplied. No matter what he gave them, their affection increased greatly.

With that bonus, on top of what he had given them before, Feng Xiaotian had now given them only 30,000 Gold Soul Coins each, yet their affection had risen straight to 80. They could already be considered to like him.

It was only a matter of time before it reached 90 or above.

With the founding of the Goddess Pavilion, Feng Xiaotian had also found a direction for his future spending on goddesses.

Do I need to seek you out and be your licking dog?

There's certainly no need for that with ordinary goddesses. Wouldn't it be better for you to come looking for me and lick me instead?

And with a continent-wide goddess ranking, he believed it would attract even more goddesses.

Skywater City was only Feng Xiaotian's first step. In the future, a Goddess Pavilion would appear in every major city on the continent!
