5 Beauty Contest in Garong City
Walking in the gloomy night Bai Yuan was feeling sluggish, she led on the wall in the dark alley. Clenching her left arm, she slowly lifted her bloody white sleeve to see a deep cut on her flawless skin. She didn't get hurt in the fight against the Bai family assassins sent by the third master, Bai Honghui. But seeing the deep wound was on the hand she holds the sword, she asks, "System, is this the reason why I can't hurt Lan Wuyou?"
[You're CORRECT!! I did tell you didn't I! How shameless!!]
"Tell me? You told me right when I was going for the kill. You're the corrupted one!" Bai Yuan cover her ears from the system yelling but drop her left hand due to pain.
[... Good! Very good!]
The system was sounding angry but still, tell her the reason why she got hurt. After listening, she understood a bit about the reason. It's quite simple if she put it in her own words, it just means that it isn't time for him to die yet. She felt like there's more to it, she urges the system, but the system wouldn't budge at all. It just stated that it's more dangerous and she'll know sooner or later.
Bai Yuan couldn't get anything out of the system so she just gives up. The system will always stay with her, if she dies it'll die so it'll definitely support her until...
Hearing the roaring sounds from the street, she peaks out to see everyone rushing towards one direction with excitement. Bai Yuan ask a middle age woman running towards that direction. The woman look at up and down, she was wearing commoner's clothing and her face was dirty making the woman feel pity.
"Let me tell you. It's the Garong city's beauty contest, where beautiful girls from high status to low status compete to see who is the most beautiful and thoughtful. The winning awards this year is the greatest, that those who didn't participate every year are going to. I even heard that the two beautiful Bai sisters are going to join in the fun. There are more than a hundred participate that the judges have to eliminate before the real contest begin."
"What are the rewards, that so many young ladies in Garong City is willing to participate?"
"The rewards this time is special because it's from the emperor. The rewards for first place is the glory of all time! It's a mystical fruit called the Fruit of Fruitlessness, it's said to help the body improve greatly and reconstruct the body. I also heard that the fruit is mysteries and there is only one in the world. Another great thing is that you'll get an interspatial ring with at least 500 space! The least cultivators can get is a 100 space or none at all. Making this very good. There are medicinal herbs that are a thousand years old too," the woman excitedly shouted out at Bai Yuan with sparks in her eyes.
"Why would the emperor be so generous, does madam know?"
Seeing that the poor girl was behaving so well and being nice to her. She says some rumors she has heard, "The emperor's fourth son is getting married soon and I heard that everytime one of his child married, the emperor would be generous enough to gift his daughter-in-laws or son-in-laws city... and not just any gift this time, but a big one since the fourth prince is from the woman he loved. When the emperor heard about the beauty contest he sent the gift here...Seeing you asking me this, don't tell me your planning to join? Miss, I suggest not to. The time period to join is already over and they are picking the most beautiful woman today."
With the woman walking away, Bai Yuan uses her sleeve to wipe some dirt off her face. Her face shows a small smile with amazement as she fades in with the crowd. She didn't leave Garong City but stay instead. Garong City is where Bai Honghui, the third master of the Bai House supervised. It is the most dangerous place for her but also the safest place. She has been living as a common person, working here and there to earn a living. Without the Bai house protection or security, Bai Yuan finally know how important money is for someone very poor, such as her. She'll use the beauty challenge to earn as much money as possible.
In the crowd stood a man and two children about ten years of age. The man doesn't look old or young but his long hair was all white. He has a face that can be called handsome but what attracts people to his appearance; is his eyes. His smokey blue eyes combined with his white hair make a strange combination that seems to draw you closer. The two children standing behind him is a boy and a girl. The boy has a moderate body shape structure but he's more mature than others his age. He has short black hair, paired with black eyes, and was presented in a messy way. He wears common clothing but that didn't hide his outstanding appearance. The girl has a beautiful delicate face with rosy cheeks that arouses peoples desire to protect her. Her dark brown hair is medium long and tock behind her shoulder. She wears a pink colored short dress that shows her beautiful long legs.
Everyone was watching them instead of the stage, wondering if the girl is a contestant. But, to their disappointment not one of them move, making the crowd sigh thinking 'have the appearance but can't even put it to good use.' Bai Yuan wasn't paying attention to where the crowd's eyes wander instead she slips into the backstage where the contestants are. She didn't think the boy would spot her going into the backstage.
Ling Xia peek up from his master's shoulder to see a woman older than him walking past them without looking. He thought that his master and Xiao An would attract attention anywhere they went. But this woman didn't seem to care at all instead she bypass them as if they were only ants. Ling Xia didn't follow her, he only stays with a small smile on his lips.
"Young miss! Are you alright!" a female maidservant rushes over to her maiden. Kneeling down she help inspect her miss's face. On that pale delicate face; there was a red faceprint on it.
"Shen Qing, you're a hundred years too early to compete against me and Mingyu," Bai Meili sneered, walking away with Mingyu in tow.
Thinking back, everything is that Bai Yuan's fault. If she wanted to die, why drag the whole family down with her. Their parents have been so nice to her but she isn't even faithful at all. After the day, her father sent assassins to kill Bai Yuan and she disappears, the emperor questions the whole origin about her. In the end, getting nothing useful out of their father, the emperor decided to gift the treasures for their sister, Bai Zhilan, for the beauty contest.
"How hateful. Don't let me see you, Bai Yuan, if I do, don't blame me for being ruthless," grinding her teeth Mingyu, calmly walk into her dressing room.
For the beauty contest, every contestant is assigned a room according to their accommodation. They can have two maids helping them with everything and can only use the clothes and makeup provided. Everything else such as what they are going to do, are left to them.
"Do you wish to win?"
Hearing a beautiful alluring voice Shen Qing turned around towards the voice. From the way she's dress, she's definitely not a noble but her composure can dominate all the contestants. Remembering her mother sick at home, Shen Qing nodded her head with determination.
Bai Yuan walk up to her negotiating the deal, "I'll help you win an exchange I want the Fruit of Fruitlessness and 30% of the profit. ...If you can't agree with this deal, there are many contestants who wish to win. I can just go to them." Seeing her hesitating when she mentioned the deal, Bai Yuan follow up with a different reason.
Hearing those words and seeing the unwavering confidence in the other girl's eyes; Shen Qing bite her lower lip, agreeing with the deal.
Standing on stage in the spotlight, a nervous young man announces the start of the contest. He was nervous due to the large crowds and looking around them, he saw the most beautiful woman he has seen. Even though he has been the announcer for 3 years and saw the contest since young, this girl was the most beautiful. Her lovely smile give an earthly feeling that is unforgettable, making his heart fluctuate. Looking at her once more, he realizes that everyone else was also looking at her and not the stage.
"Um..um. We will be starting the beauty contest now. However, before we start things up, there is a little announcement to be made. First of our emperor has come to enjoy the show with us all. Second, this year's contest will be different from years before. Third, our emperor, Emperor Lan Qin will be the one giving out the rewards for the winner that the judges choose. Hope everyone enjoys," announcing so, he withdrew and let the contestants go up the stage.
The first round of the contest seems the same as every year, where the contestants show of in style like a fashion show. The judges judge everyone on the clothes they wear and the makeup they apply. Some girls clothing are too bizarre, while others are seductive. There is even a girl who has big boobs and dresses up seductively but the way she applies her makeup ruin her seductive looks. More than makeup it's almost like they are seeing a monster, her brows are in red colors, her mascarade looks like it's dripping water down her face. Her lip is so red, plump, and uneven from the lipstick she uses; even overlapping with her cheeks. In the end, she was even throwing kisses at them, making them want to puke on the spot. What others didn't know was that this girl was one of the beautiful misses of the Bai House, Bai Meili.
"Xiao (Little) Xia, what are you snickering about. She makes all the women feel ashamed," Xiao An angrily said.
Ling Xia stopped his snickering, put on a serious face but he couldn't hold up for even a minute, he chuckles again. Ling Xia was watching waiting for the girl to come out but even towards the end of the fashion show, she didn't. This makes him thinks that she came to create trouble instead of participating in the select.
Bai Meili was eliminated on the first round. Bai Mingyu and Shen Qing pass the first and second round. The first and second round didn't seem different from before but everyone didn't think that Bai Meili, their young miss would get eliminated so early. Everyone knows that she is beautiful with a seductive body but why did her appearance look so different from her usual one.
What they didn't think about was that Bai Meili's appearance turned out like that due to Bai Yuan. Bai Yuan was getting bored and playing nice when she saw all the contestants. She was planning not to bother with Bai Meili and Bai Mingyu but who ask them to damage her artist's face. A slap for a slap so Bai Yuan ruined her chance to stand out from the other contestants. It's not like she was the mastermind to it but only a little helper to the other contestants.
The contestants know that between Bai Meili and Bai Mingyu, Bai Meili is more beautiful. They are also glad that Bai Zhilan didn't compete. After she became the Fourth prince's fiancee, she turned around from cowardly to being someone beautiful and resolve. They knew, if she did participate, everyone would lose even if the rewards are unforgettable. That's why they planned to kick Bai Meili from the stage first. They bribed the room accommodation to put the most seductive clothes in her room and her maid to add makeup that would be so beautiful everyone would fear her. When the maid applies the makeup she didn't know that in the powder, Bai Yuan has added some other ingredients in. This ingredient can be itchy or not depending on the amount apply and can be poisonous if left for long. It would make the wearer and those that come in contact hallucinate what they desire the most at the moment.
This poison is called the Face Beauty Scorpion; for it will melt the most tender part of your face and causes your eyes to water turning it red, the red drops would cling onto your skin creating cat stretch marks. This making the mascara drip down, creating the illusion of a ghost's face. But the one Bai Yuan makes affect is lesser than what she thought it would be. She didn't have all the materials to make the Face Beauty Scorpion, so the effect is only 15%, so the skin would only be damaged a bit.
'How disappointing, the me now have been reduce to this,' she sigh to herself.
[You're CORRECT!! I did tell you didn't I! How shameless!!]
"Tell me? You told me right when I was going for the kill. You're the corrupted one!" Bai Yuan cover her ears from the system yelling but drop her left hand due to pain.
[... Good! Very good!]
