After the beauty on stage finished introducing herself, the Villa Master stood up and announced in a booming voice, "Esteemed top geniuses of the Nine Provinces Continent, are you satisfied with the hundred beauties carefully selected by my Supreme Villa?"
"Satisfied!!!" Resounding voices intertwined together like thunder, echoing throughout heaven and earth and expressing the crowd's surging excitement.
As for the young talents' reaction, the Supreme Villa nodded with satisfaction, then said, "The next one, I believe, will satisfy you all even more."
As he spoke, the Villa Master pointed toward the sky in the direction of the main city. Following his gesture, people were astonished to discover an ornate palanquin floating toward them out of the night sky.
The palanquin's material was extraordinarily unique—crystalline like crystal, and especially under the night sky, it sparkled and gleamed, dazzlingly resplendent.
"I nearly forgot—there is still one more beauty who hasn't appeared. It seems this one is the grand finale."
At that moment, almost everyone involuntarily stood up—even the honored guests in the VIP stands were no exception—because when the palanquin drew closer, people discovered that the ones carrying the crystal palanquin were four of the Supreme Villa's presiding elders, all of them Heaven Martial Realm powerhouses.
What kind of person could be riding in that palanquin to have four Heaven Martial Realm presiding elders condescend to carry it for her? Before the person inside had even appeared, it had already sparked everyone's speculation.
Just then, the palanquin, under the control of the four presiding elders, arrived above the spectator stands and slowly descended. The ninety-nine beauties standing at the center of the stands hurriedly moved aside, reserving the most radiant spot on the stage.
Finally, the palanquin touched down. The four presiding elders stood on either side, and the two at the entrance together pulled open the curtain of the crystal palanquin.
At that moment, many people present couldn't help but hold their breath, eyes fixed unblinkingly on the palanquin's opening, wanting to see what kind of person could be the grand finale of this marriage alliance conference—and even have Heaven Martial Realm presiding elders carry her palanquin.
Under countless watching eyes, the figure of a young girl finally emerged into view. When she appeared, whether man or woman, everyone was stunned, involuntarily captivated by her appearance.
Indeed, this was a young girl—and an extraordinarily youthful one at that—yet her beauty surpassed every other woman present.
They say flowers need green leaves to set them off, and beauties need plainer women to accentuate them. But this girl's beauty needed none of that. Even standing amidst a thousand flowers, measured against other beautiful women, she would still be the most captivating presence in the room—a true beauty that could topple nations, a staggering vision who could entrance all living beings.
Her snow-white, crystalline skin; her perfectly proportioned, sweet little face; her eyes as clear as water—the moment anyone laid eyes on her, their heart quickened, captivated at first sight.
"Heavens, how can such a beautiful woman exist in this world?"
After this girl appeared, all the beauties on the stands were instantly overshadowed. Everyone's gaze converged upon her, and some had already been so affected by her beauty that they were drooling.
"I never imagined there could be such an otherworldly girl in this world." At that moment, even Xu Zhongyu, who was not easily swayed by feminine beauty, had his eyes light up, deeply captivated by this girl's beauty.
As for Jie Qingming, it was the same for him—even he, who was always so proud and confident, couldn't help but secretly swallow after seeing this girl's face.
Even that genius young man from the Jiang Dynasty, who had never once deigned to look at any of the beauties present and had been perpetually drowsy—Jiang Wushuang—now couldn't help but gape.
"It's actually her?"
However, compared to everyone else, Chu Feng—who had been relatively calm until now—had his expression subtly shift. His eyes filled with a trace of shock, and a storm of waves immediately surged within his heart, churning without cease.
Because at this very moment, the girl who appeared not far from him was none other than the purple-clothed young woman he had encountered inside White Tiger Villa that day—the one who had fought him for the White Tiger Attack Technique. That Heaven-Gifted Body.
But in just a single year, this girl was no longer at the Xuan Martial 1st Stage she had been before. She was now at the Xuan Martial 9th Stage—a true Xuan Martial 9th Stage. She had actually advanced from Xuan Martial 1st Stage all the way to Xuan Martial 9th Stage within a single year.
"Impressive. She looks like she's only about fifteen, right? Fifteen years old and already at Xuan Martial 9th Stage—that would put her on par with Jiang Wushuang!"
After being deeply captivated by the girl's beauty, people were also beginning to be awed by her formidable strength. To have such cultivation at such a young age—her future accomplishments would be simply unimaginable.
"I can't believe this girl is actually from the Supreme Villa. And judging by the looks of it, her status and position don't seem to be low."
"No good—she must still hold a grudge against me over what happened back then. I can't let her see me." Sensing trouble, Chu Feng wanted to make a quick escape.
"Brother Chu Feng, where are you going? Don't tell me even this little beauty can't interest you?" But before Chu Feng could even turn, Gu Bo grabbed him by the arm.
"Uh... I... oh no!" Chu Feng wanted to explain something, but when he turned back, he noticed that some people in the stands had already noticed the commotion on their side and were looking his way. Most importantly, that purple-clothed young woman had also spotted Chu Feng.
Upon seeing him, the girl's expression subtly shifted. Her beautiful pupils contracted sharply.
Chu Feng noticed a flash of icy killing intent in her eyes, but it vanished in a flash. He believed that apart from him, no one else had noticed.
After that one glance at Chu Feng, the purple-clothed young woman said nothing further. Instead, she pretended not to know him at all and turned her sweet little face away.
Seeing this, the heart that had been lodged in Chu Feng's throat finally settled back down. He straightened his clothes and said cheerfully to the people on the stands, "Got tired of sitting. Just stretching my legs." With that, he sat back down.
Meanwhile, regarding Chu Feng's little antic, hardly anyone paid it much mind—most people had their attention fixed on that purple-clothed young woman.
Under these circumstances, the Villa Master slowly walked over to the girl's side and announced to the crowd with a face full of pride: "This is my, Qin Lei's, adopted daughter—'Zi Ling.' To show our sincerity in forming marriage alliances with all of you, at this marriage alliance conference, Zi Ling will also join the hundred beauties of my Supreme Villa as a candidate for marriage with any of you."
