Chapter 1870 - 1873: Duel of Beauties, Blades Drawn and Blood Spilled
Looking at Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei, who was coquettishly gazing at him, Shen Qiang felt helpless because it was obvious that Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei was competing with the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. She had told Shen Qiang more than once that she was the Palace Master of Baihua Palace and couldn't give up her power, so she would never get married.This meant she would never openly be with Shen Qiang.
Even though everyone in the Cultivation World could see that her relationship with Shen Qiang was unusual, she would never publicly acknowledge it at least.
Under these circumstances, her insistence on competing with Qin Yurou and her father was simply childish.
But just as Shen Qiang's mind was racing, pondering how to calm Weisheng Zhimei down and stop her from entangling in this matter, Qin Yurou, the quiet fairy sitting on Shen Qiang's right, suddenly giggled and said, "Shen Qiang, move over. We're classmates and can be together every day in the future. It's rare to meet the Palace Master; I miss her too. Let us chat."
In an instant.
Shen Qiang felt his hair standing on end.
Indeed, all the women in the world are like tigers; when you meet them, be sure to avoid them!
Qin Yurou, with her gentle elegance, exquisite beauty, and youth, was a standard female prodigy in the Medical University graduate school. In the alchemist circle, she rarely showed her skills, yet she was ranked seventy-third among the top alchemists.
So, most of the time, when facing Shen Qiang, the love-struck Qin Yurou would be shy, nervous, and at a loss.
However, this was not the case when facing others.
In the game League of Legends, her best character was the elusive, nimble, precise, and fierce Lee Sin.
And the game itself is a form of psychological projection. Apart from her exquisite appearance, Qin Yurou is inherently the type of woman with an excellent sense of strategy who never makes a move unless she's sure to hit the target.
And just like that.
She achieved it as soon as she spoke. Her first statement about being classmates with Shen Qiang and being able to be together every day was itself a mockery of Weisheng Zhimei. The general meaning was, "I've seen through your thoughts, but it doesn't affect me because I can be with him every day while you, Weisheng Zhimei, can only watch."
And the following comment about wanting to chat was rather arrogant, exuding a strong aura of challenge, as if to say, "Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
This momentarily sent chills down Shen Qiang's spine as he swiftly turned his head, looking at the elegantly peerless Qin Yurou, and transmitted his thoughts, "Is this appropriate?"
Qin Yurou's eyes turned into crescents with her smile, transmitting, "I may be younger but not stupid. If you don't move over, I'll get angry."
Feeling helpless, Shen Qiang looked at the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley with eyes pleading for help since he was Qin Yurou's father, and a word from him might make her relent.
But to Shen Qiang's astonishment, Qin Yurou's father, Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, merely smiled faintly at Shen Qiang. The expression on his face showed boundless confidence amidst pride, as if he believed Qin Yurou would definitely not be at a disadvantage.
"Hmm, hurry up," Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei coyly glanced at Shen Qiang, "What are you daydreaming about?"
Her eyes were charming, a smile played at her lips, seeming calm and harmonious, but Shen Qiang knew that when the beautiful and electric Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei met the strategically adept, quick, precise, and fierce Qin Yurou, if they didn't metaphorically stab each other and draw blood, it would be as incredible as world peace.
"Alright, you both are good. Please begin your show." Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows, opened a small barrier, and then sat aside, ignoring them both, and remained silent with a stern face.
With a coquettish glance at Shen Qiang, Baihua Palace Master sat with a delightful smile between Shen Qiang and Qin Yurou, gazing at the exquisite and beautiful Qin Yurou, "Junior Sister Yurou, I still remember when I first became the Baihua Palace Master, you were just a little girl learning the zither with Aunt Jingyi!"
Raising her eyebrows with a smile, Baihua Palace Master continued, "Years have gone by in a blink. Who would've thought that the little girl back then would now blossom into such breathtaking beauty?"
Hearing this, Qin Yurou's eyebrows twitched.
Shen Qiang immediately knew that it's futile to hope they could easily make peace by glossing over it.
Because the implication of the Baihua Palace Master's words was roughly that, Qin Yurou, when I, Weisheng Zhimei, was calling the shots, you were still wet behind the ears.
Such words, even to the proud and high-spirited Qin Yurou, who has incredible family background, knowledge, beauty, and capability, would be intolerable, let alone to an ordinary person. Especially with Shen Qiang nearby?
With a slight smile, Qin Yurou replied, "Palace Master Sister, isn't there a saying that the Yangtze River pushes the waves of the past? But you, even now, have kept your beauty intact and are full of charm, truly a cause for joy."
Instantly, the already buzzing banquet hall fell silent.
Because in fact, Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei was twenty-seven, the Baihua Jade Girl Weisheng Qian Dai was nineteen, and Qin Yurou was twenty-three, making Weisheng Zhimei only four years older than Qin Yurou overall.
In terms of beauty, even if Weisheng Zhimei hadn't used the Timeless Beauty Pill, her looks were at their peak, so the term "old" didn't apply.
But these words, coming from Qin Yurou, were not surprising, because Qin Yurou indeed appeared pure and youthful, extraordinarily beautiful, and in comparison to her, the intelligent and alluring Baihua Palace Master undoubtedly seemed more mature.
But just as everyone thought Weisheng Zhimei would be furious, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister Yurou, for the compliment. I never expected, after all these years, you'd not only become prettier but also more eloquent. Someday when there's time, Sister will take you to the Datong River. They have a nourishing delicacy said to be delicious and has breast enhancement properties; I think you will love it as, after all, a woman's figure is her second face."
Qin Yurou was momentarily stunned.
For in terms of appearance, the two's temperaments were distinct and hard to compare, but Qin Yurou, after all, had the slender figure of a young girl. In terms of sensuality, maturity, charm, and allure, she indeed lagged far behind Weisheng Zhimei, which was an incontrovertible fact.
Yet, even though she was at a disadvantage at this moment, Qin Yurou still flashed a charming smile while saying, "People do, after reaching middle age, seem to know better how to take care of themselves, so Yurou really should learn from the Palace Master."
Seeing Qin Yurou keep harping on about her age, Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei also responded with a dazzling smile, "Exactly, what can I do? As one of the twelve pinnacle figures in the Cultivation World, I must maintain my image, so Junior Sister Yurou, you really should learn from this. Perhaps decades later, you might also have a chance to reach the top."
In an instant, Qin Yurou couldn't think of a comeback.
