Chapter 784: Chapter 784 Bright Eyes and White Teeth, Smiling Face Like a Flower (3rd Update) Chapter 784: Chapter 784 Bright Eyes and White Teeth, Smiling Face Like a Flower (3rd Update) Xue An turned his head to look.
He saw An Yan, who had removed her illusory disguise, dressed in ancient attire and standing cutely at the door. She was smiling with her eyes curving into crescents as she watched him.
For a moment, Xue An suddenly felt a bit dazed.
It was as though time had violently reversed at this moment, and he was back in his college days, back to the clear morning when he first met An Yan.
Back then, An Yan was just as she was now.
Bright eyes, white teeth, her dimples blooming like flowers when she smiled.
“Husband, don’t I look good?” Seeing that Xue An hadn’t uttered a word for a while, An Yan asked somewhat anxiously.
Her words pulled Xue An back from his memories. A big smile slowly spread across his face, then he said with utmost certainty,
“Beautiful! My Yan’er is the most beautiful in the world!”
Hearing Xue An’s straightforward praise, An Yan blushed with joy, nervously fiddling with the hem of her skirt as she lowered her head and said softly, “Stop it, there are so many people watching!”
Seeing An Yan’s childlike demeanor, Xue An felt his heart was about to melt and he smiled slightly.
“What does it matter if people are watching? My Yan’er is the most beautiful in the world, and I would say the same no matter who came.”
As he spoke, Xue An glanced at Xiao Dancheng, Dong Lingxin, and others.
These individuals, who had been stunned by An Yan’s exceptional beauty, finally came to their senses and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look any longer.
Xiao Dancheng was a bit better off.
He had seen An Yan’s true face a few times at least.
But Dong Lingxin was different.
At that moment, the female shopkeeper of Judan Palace felt her heart toss like crashing waves, filled entirely with shock.
Dong Lingxin had seen beauties before, and she herself could be considered a standard beauty.
But it wasn’t until she saw An Yan that she truly understood the meaning of a beauty capable of bringing down nations.
Unlike those beauties who were either noble, delicate, bewitching, or pure, An Yan’s beauty was an all-encompassing, flawless charm.
You couldn’t even find a single defect or flaw.
It was this type of overwhelming beauty from all angles that made Dong Lingxin feel utterly inferior.
The childlike manner An Yan displayed in front of Xue An made Dong Lingxin smile bitterly.
She finally understood why Xue An adored his wife so much before.
No one could resist such charm.
Dong Lingxin even felt that if she were a man, she would do the same.
Recalling how she had just mocked someone else as “mediocre in appearance,” Dong Lingxin felt like crying.
If this was considered mediocre, then all the women in the world might as well not bother living.
“Daddy, Mommy, let’s go!”
At this time, the two little girls also bounced out energetically.
Seeing these two young girls, Dong Lingxin and others couldn’t help but brighten up again.
Because these two little girls were simply too cute.
They were dressed in ancient attire of the same color as An Yan’s, their black hair twisted into tiny topknots, revealing chubby yet pretty cheeks, just like two little fairies who had stepped out of ancient paintings.
Especially since they looked exactly alike, when standing together, their charm escalated exponentially.
At least Dong Lingxin was so dazzled that she wished she could run up and hug one to plant a big kiss on them.
Xue An smiled at this moment, “Good, let’s set off now!”
As Xue An and his family were heading to the Elixir Tower.
Inside the grand hall of the Elixir Tower, it was already bustling with noise and excitement.
Strong individuals from all directions gathered here, engaged in animated discussions.
Many Pill Masters were also grouped in threes or fives, exchanging their experiences in pill techniques.
And in a corner of the hall, there was a special group.
One saw several lavishly dressed daughters of noble families huddled together, chatting and laughing merrily, occasionally bursting into laughter that attracted the frequent glances of the many men in the hall.
After all, the sight of so many pretty girls together was in itself an eye-catching scene.
What’s more, the girls attending today’s grand event had all put in a lot of effort, each trying to outshine the others.
This allowed many people a feast for the eyes.
Among these girls, a young girl in a purple dress spoke somewhat impatiently.
“It’s already so late, why hasn’t the Elixir King arrived yet?”
“Right? What time is it now, and he still hasn’t shown up?” another girl in a green dress also expressed her dissatisfaction.
“If you find it troublesome, you can go back. No one is forcing you to wait here!” a girl in red with a cold beauty sneered.
“Shangguan Yan, you must be deliberately opposing us at every turn, aren’t you? You want us to leave so you can find ways to get close to the new Elixir King? Let me tell you, no way!” The girl in purple was obviously angry as she spoke indignantly.
The girl in red laughed coldly, “As if you’re not here with that exact thought in mind!”
“Alright, alright! Stop fighting! Both of you, it’s the same every time you meet; is there any point? Besides, is this new Elixir King really as good as you say? I hope he’s not some old and ugly fellow!” The girl in green dress tried to mediate at this point.
But her words were like poking a hornet’s nest.
Many girls who had been watching with cool detachment couldn’t hold back anymore and began to speak out in reproach.
“Nangong Yao, if you want to mediate, mediate, but spare the Elixir King from your comments!”
“Exactly, you haven’t even seen the Elixir King! If you had, you wouldn’t be saying that!”
“If you can’t say anything nice, shut your mouth!” someone said bluntly.
Nangong Yao, feeling cornered and unable to hold back, retorted, “I’m puzzled too. You’ve only seen him once, right? Why does everyone act like they’re bewitched, not even allowing a single bad word about him?”
“Because the Elixir King is genuinely that good!” a girl said.
Nangong Yao curled her lips, “I don’t buy it! Which high-ranking Pill Master isn’t some old man with a bunch of whiskers? Even if he’s younger, how handsome could he be?”
“How handsome can he be? Heh!” Shangguan Yan could not help but sneer with disdain, then her eyes filled with a look of longing.
“You haven’t seen that scene; the moment he dons the white pill robe, you’ll feel as if the whole world becomes unimportant! In the heavens and on earth, amidst the myriad of beings, all pale in comparison to his presence!”
“He just stands there calmly, and his proud demeanor seems to make even the wind stop in its tracks!”
“But what’s most captivating is his gaze because in his eyes, there’s a kind of arrogance that says ‘in all the world, I alone am honored’!”
“I have never seen a man who could match even one percent of his excellence!”
Shangguan Yan, nearly murmuring, spoke with a face full of devout adoration.
