Chương 254: Beauties of the Hundred Flowers Valley

Moon-Gazing Pavilion Feigning absent-mindedness as he sauntered around for a circle, Scumbag Song finally put on a very poorly acted expression of utter surprise and shouted loudly:"Little brother Hui Wu, so this is where you were sitting!" Hui Wu:..... Though he cursed the other party countless times in his heart, the bald monk still didn't lose his manners, smiling and cupping his hands:"Amitabha, Brother Song!"

"Greetings, Young Hero Song!" The crowd of beauties surrounding the guy also offered sweet, gentle bows one after another, melting Grandee Song's heart on the spot. Without batting an eye, he took a few deep breaths of the delicate fragrance, a warm and amiable smile gracing Grandee Song's face as he nodded:"Greetings, fair immortals! Hui Wu, could you help introduce us?" What else could he do?

Knowing this guy possessed a skin thicker than city walls and probably wouldn't fuck off even if he was chased away right to his face, Hui Wu had to swallow his bitter hatred and introduce the beauties of the Hundred Flowers Valley to the thief Song. So they are the fairies of the Hundred Flowers Valley! No wonder they smell so good! The Hundred Flowers Valley was also a top-tier faction in the Southern Region, specializing in the business of perfumes, cosmetics, and women's goods.

There were three First-Tier experts within the Valley, and the Valley Master was even an 8th Grade Meridian Opening realm expert. Furthermore, every single one of them was a top-tier beauty, backed by countless admirers and simps following their every step. Their influence was immensely vast, which was why practically no one dared to provoke them. Villain Song's mind instantly became active:"So you are the fairies of the Hundred Flowers Valley!

No wonder the moment I stepped into the Moon-Gazing Pavilion, I caught a whiff of a captivative fragrance reminiscent of a secluded valley. Truly, the people are more beautiful than flowers, and the scent surpasses them."

"Giggle... Young Hero Song certainly knows how to talk." The little maidens beamed with joy, giggling charmingly at his praise.

"I wonder what everyone was discussing so animatedly just now?" The beauties of the Hundred Flowers Valley were also lively conversationalists. Hearing Song Que's question, they chirped as they explained:"Hehe, we were just asking Grandmaster Hui Wu to read our fortunes." Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Grandee Song looked at the honest, reliable-looking monk with eyes full of reverence. He even knows how to pretend to be a mystical deity to lure and swindle innocent maidens. This bald head's script runs deep.

Master Song the Half-Immortal unceremoniously followed suit:"So that's how it is! Hui Wu and I have previously delved into the art of divination quite a bit, and we understand a thing or two about it. If you ladies don't mind, you can hold out your hands, and I can help read your fortunes."

"Really? Really?" The girls cheered in excitement. Seeing Hui Wu sitting to the side, miserably chanting Buddhist scriptures without raising any objections, they simply and purely believed it was true, one after another eagerly extending their delicate hands for the thief Song to inspect. Heh heh heh... With his wicked scheme succeeding, Grandee Song went wild with joy.

Starting to pick the tallest tree from the forest, he pinpointed the most prominent among them—a beauty named Ji Yao—and took her hand, placing it upon his cattail-leaf-fan-sized palm to carefully observe. Having her hand held by a strange man like this caused the girl's face to flush red, but seeing that this little thief made no excessive movements, she quietly observed with a hint of eager anticipation to see what kind of fortune this master would divine.

Gazing down at the exquisitely carved little hand before him, Grandee Song was so moved tears nearly filled his eyes. How many years has it been? My hands are finally tasting a bit of salt for once! How far off could the day be when my massive weapon gets its consecration? Outwardly keeping his composure while pretending to inspect it for a moment, the half-immortal Song finally spoke:"Miss Ji, your Life Line is long and sturdy, extending all the way down from here to your wrist.

That proves you will live a peaceful and healthy life throughout your days, entirely free from turbulence or setbacks. Am I right to say you have always been free from illness and disaster since childhood, rarely even catching minor colds?"

"That's right, that's right! Young Hero Song is so accurate! Go on, keep reading for me." Ji Yao's eyes lit up as she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Heh heh, which martial artist gets sick? Besides, this young lady looks like she was carved from jade, and her cultivation has already reached the 5th Grade. It would be a ghost story if she had suffered hardship or illness before. If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

These young girls were still too green. Accepting the worshipful gazes of the beauties from the Hundred Flowers Valley, Master Song continued:"Judging by your palm, Miss Ji, you are a kind-hearted, gentle person who doesn't contend or compete with the world. However, deep in your heart, you still yearn for adventure and thrills. You want to experience a life of roaming the martial world with a long sword and upholding justice.

But your personality is far too gentle, so when the elders around you offered advice, you buried this thought deep inside your heart. Am I right?"

"Oh heavens, absolutely right!" Ji Yao gasped in astonishment.

"That's right, that's right! Young Hero Song figured out Senior Sister Ji's personality the moment you met. It's too accurate! Hurry, hurry, it's my turn!"

"No, Brother Song, read for me first!" — Oh my, she even called me older brother. I love it!

"Quiet! Brother Song hasn't finished reading for me yet!" Ji Yao immediately brandished her authority as a senior sister to suppress the group of alluring temptresses, turning back to look at him with eyes full of eager anticipation.

"Brother Song, can you... can you read my future romantic prospects for me?" Speaking up to this point, her face turned as red as a ripe apple, looking exceedingly charming. Suppressing the urge to lean over and bite her cheek, surrounded by little beauties crying out and crowding closer—nearly throwing themselves into Scumbag Song's embrace with flesh and fragrance—he exerted nine-bulls-and-two-tigers' worth of strength to suppress his raging inner pillar.

Though his heart was beginning to run wild with romantic fantasies, he forcefully put on a cold and serious expression.

"Miss Ji, your Marriage Line is neither narrow nor wide, and it features a distinct rosy hue, proving that you are a deeply loyal and devoted person. Judging by this, there are currently many men admiring and pursuing you, but you remain unsatisfied in your heart, still waiting for the prince charming of your life to come and sweep you away."

"That... that's right. But... I wonder if that person will ever appear?" Ji Yao asked, a bit shy yet full of longing.

"Yes, that person has already appeared!" Song Que answered with absolute certainty. Meeting the excited, glowing look in her eyes, he let his true nature slip through with a flirtatious grin:"In Miss Ji's destiny today, you will meet the prince charming destined for you by heaven. That person is tall and handsome on the outside, yet kind and forgiving on the inside. He is someone you will trust the moment you lay eyes on him, placing your hand in his as he leads you past every obstacle and turbulence in life.

Congratulations, as long as you are willing, that person will immediately whisk you away to his castle to live a carefree and blissful life from this day onward. How romantic is that?" Ji Yao was stunned for a moment, but with her sharp and intelligent mind, she immediately realized that wasn't she holding hands with this dark little thief this whole time? Instantly, her face flushed crimson with anger. She pulled her hand back, glared at him, and pouted coquettishly:"You're terrible!"

Realizing they had been tricked by the thief Song, her fellow sisters burst out like a startled hive of bees, scattering away while continuously laughing, scolding, and teasing their Senior Sister Ji.

"You scoundrel Song!"...

"Senior Sister Ji, congratulations on finding your ideal husband, giggle giggle..." Seeing the beauties instantly scatter away from around him, Song Que hurriedly tried to reel them in:"Fair maidens, you haven't had your fortunes read yet! Why are you running so far away? Is anyone taken with me? If you've fallen for me, you must boldly speak up! Don't keep it bottled up inside and let someone else snatch the prize away. You'll regret it when it's too late!"

"Giggle..."

"Hmph! You dark-faced villain with an equally dark heart, specializing in swindling naive women. Go home and narcissistically pine away by yourself!" Her anger not yet subsided, Ji Yao glared and pouted. Yet after staring at this guy for a moment, she couldn't help but burst into laughter:"Black Gorilla, Black Gorilla... giggle... The Ends of the Earth Sea Pavilion gave you a title that really suits you... giggle..."

"Giggle..." Plenty of people nearby were amused to the point of covering their mouths and shaking uncontrollably. Master Song's face turned even blacker as he argued back in fierce defiance:"What's wrong with being a little dark? Dark means healthy, dark means handsome! Have any of you ever seen anyone with a chest as broad and shoulders as sturdy as mine? Just imagine how exceptionally secure it feels to lean against them! Furthermore, I know how to cook, and my family has money.

I am quite literally a super-duper prince charming and the perfect dream husband! Fair maidens, you miss this village and you won't find this shop. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is here! If your heart beats for me, you must take action immediately! Is there anyone who wants to embark on an epic, centuries-renowned romance with this humble one? Don't let this peerless flower of a man be plucked by someone else, only to realize too late that there's no medicine for regret in this world!"

"Moreover, let me spill a vital secret to everyone: this humble one's original appearance is basically the number one most handsome man under heaven! I am truly an unpolished jade—and a particularly precious kind at that—just waiting for you young ladies to take me home and polish me up. It would be an absolute pity to miss out!"

"Giggle..." Hearing Song Que's saliva flying everywhere as he aggressively pitched himself, the dozens of people in the room couldn't help their inner turmoil. The beauties of the Hundred Flowers Valley didn't even care about their image anymore, clutching their stomachs and shaking with laughter. Over on their side, Lin Zhenjie and Zhu Yinming shot him pitying, disdainful glances. Thinking of their own handsome faces, these guys instantly regained a bit of their self-confidence.

"Giggle... Even if you're a Black Gorilla, we still can't stomach you. We'll leave this supreme opportunity for someone more capable!" Finished laughing, Ji Yao stuck out her tongue in a cheeky retort and led her sisters a bit further away from this guy.

"Don't be like that! Opportunities are rare, everyone shouldn't miss out just because you're shy!"

"The fair maidens over there, your faces are so red, are your hearts beating fast?" Jing Tian, Zheng Shuang, and the others glared angrily when he singled them out. Refusing to believe it, Grandee Song even scanned the area for another round, but unfortunately, even the great beauty Yun Xi had darkened her face and lowered her head, ignoring this guy entirely. This dealt a massive, agonizing blow to Master Song's fragile soul.

"Fair maidens, there are too many people here, so maybe you're too embarrassed to confess out loud. But you can secretly seek me out afterward, or write me love letters! We can start with a long-distance relationship, getting to know each other for a year or two first, there's no rush." Scumbag Song still refused to give up, trying desperately to coax them. Unfortunately, looking at this guy's fierce and rugged mug, the beauties all felt their stomachs churning and hastily backed away.

The people sitting here were either proud sons of heaven or scions of wealthy noble families; who among them didn't harbor dreams of a prince charming? Even if there were calculating women among them, a small fry like Master Song didn't yet possess the strength to sway them. Thus, tonight, he was destined to return empty-handed.

Surrounded by a circle of absolute debuffs—the complete extinction of beauties—Grandee Song dejectedly dragged Hui Wu back to his table, whose expression looked just like he had swallowed a live fly. If I can't eat it, I'll smash it. Scumbag Song simply couldn't stand seeing this bald head secretly enjoying such boundless fortune all by himself.
