Chapter 84: The First on the List, Mo Zhu Xianzi

“Old Three, did you buy it?”

“Of course, I did. I risked my life to get it. You guys have to be careful, or we’ll all be in trouble if this gets out.”

“I understand. But I didn’t think you’d actually be able to buy it, Old Three. You’re really something,”

“Shh, let’s take a look first. I’ve been waiting for this for a whole year.”

In a small room in the disciples’ quarters, three young disciples huddled together, closing the doors and windows, and lit a dim candle.

Each of them looked tense and expectant, as if the scroll in Old Three’s hand was a precious treasure.

The scroll slowly opened, and the three disciples’ breathing quickened.

But just then…

“Old Big Brother, please don’t keep touching me.”

“Who’s touching you? I’m perfectly normal. Wait, Old Three, what are you doing?”

“Cut it out, it was clearly Old Two who did it.”

The three disciples suddenly realized something was off and turned around.

A figure stood calmly behind them.

In an instant, the three disciples were so frightened that they almost lost their souls, and their bodies trembled as they subconsciously backed away.

“Senior Brother Nie!”

Old Three cried out in shock, his hands shaking.

Nie Chen was a core disciple, and if he found out about this, they would be in big trouble!

“Senior Brother Nie, please don’t tell anyone. If you do, we’ll all be kicked out of the Heavenly Cloud Palace!”

Old Three begged, tears in his eyes.

Nie Chen frowned slightly: “What exactly are you guys looking at?”

He had noticed that these few disciples were acting strangely, so he had quietly followed them.

But it seemed that things were not as simple as he had thought.

“Is it… a dirty book?”

“Of course not!”

Old Three hastily handed over the scroll:

“We were secretly looking at the latest edition of the Beauty Booklet.”

“Beauty Booklet?”

“Yes, the Beauty Booklet is updated every year. It lists the top 30 most beautiful women in the world. Although it has portraits of 30 women, it’s a perfectly legitimate publication, and it’s widely circulated in the world. However, because the Empress forbids romantic relationships, the Beauty Bookletis considered a forbidden item in the Heavenly Cloud Palace.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Nie Chen took the Beauty Booklet and examined its exquisite cover, which was filled with the scent of books:

“I won’t expose you, but I have one condition.”

“Senior Brother Nie, please tell us. As long as you don’t tell anyone, we’ll do anything!”

Not just Old Three, but the other two disciples also begged.

“Very well. In that case, this Beauty Booklet belongs to me now. Old Three, you seem to be very familiar with the Beauty Booklet. Explain it to me.”

Nie Chen spread out the Beauty Booklet on the table and slowly opened it.

The contents were soon revealed to everyone.

The scroll listed the names of beautiful women, along with corresponding descriptions and portraits.

Most of them had extremely realistic portraits.

“Senior Brother Nie, you’re actually this kind of person!”

Old Three suddenly felt a pang of regret, realizing that Nie Chen was also interested in this kind of thing.

The Beauty Booklet was extremely expensive, worth half a year’s worth of Spirit Stones.

But it was too late to regret now.

He could only grit his teeth and sit down next to Nie Chen, hoping to get a few more glances at the Beauty Booklet.

A flame fell onto the candle, and the light brightened.

Nie Chen looked at the contents of the Beauty Booklet.

It listed the top 30 most beautiful women in the world.

Among them, there were many familiar faces.

For example, the 27th place was held by Shu Xiangdie, the Third Princess of the Imperial Court, whom he had saved twice.

The 18th place was held by Yao Mengyun, the Saintess Fanhua’s sister, whom he had beaten up and left with some psychological trauma.

As for the 12th place…

“I didn’t expect Frost Holy Envoy to be ranked so high!”

Nie Chen was surprised.

In his impression, Shen Congshuang was a bit silly and not very bright.

So, for a long time, he had only treated her as a good friend and had never paid attention to her appearance.

“Frost Holy Envoy is known for her heroic and elegant demeanor, which is different from the usual weak and delicate women. Her outstanding appearance has earned her the 12th place on the Beauty Booklet. Although there may be some controversy, it’s well-deserved.”

Old Three explained, seemingly very knowledgeable.

Nie Chen: “You seem to know a lot about this.”

“Of course, I’ve been reading the Beauty Booklet since I was three years old.”

Old Three proudly raised his head.

Saintess Fanhua was also highly ranked, reaching the third place.

Nie Chen continued to read, and soon, he couldn’t help but smile.

The second place on the Beauty Booklet was held by Empress Qingyue!

“No wonder she’s my wife. She’s indeed one of the most beautiful women in the world!”

Nie Chen thought to himself.

But soon, he frowned slightly.

Among the 30 beautiful women listed in the Beauty Booklet, 29 of them had exquisite portraits.

However, the first place had no description or portrait.

There was only a name that seemed to carry a hint of elegance and refinement — Immortal Mozhu!

“Why doesn’t the Beauty Booklet have any information about Immortal Mozhu?”

Nie Chen asked Old Three.

Old Three immediately explained: “Senior Brother Nie, you don’t know, but Immortal Mozhu has already ascended to the Immortal Realm.”

“Ascended to the Immortal Realm?”

“Yes.”

Old Three’s eyes revealed a look of longing:

“Thousands of years ago, Immortal Mozhu left the Continent and ascended to the Immortal Realm. According to the seniors from thousands of years ago, Immortal Mozhu was incredibly beautiful. Her skin was flawless, and she was elegant and refined. Her smile could captivate people’s hearts, and her steps were accompanied by a fragrant scent that could intoxicating. She was recognized by the heavens and didn’t need to cultivate to become an immortal. She was able to ascend to the Immortal Realm just because of her beauty.”

“So, even though thousands of years have passed, the first place on the Beauty Booklet is still reserved for Immortal Mozhu.”

Nie Chen was speechless.

He had thought that his System was the most bug-like thing in this world, but he never expected that there was something even more ridiculous!

Immortal Mozhu was able to ascend to the Immortal Realm just because of her beauty!

This was no longer just a bug; it was simply absurd!

Was the heavens’ standard for beauty really that important?

Nie Chen couldn’t imagine just how beautiful Immortal Mozhu was.
