Chapter 41: Chapter 41 National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance_1

The woman slowly descded from the tower, accompanied by six maids clad in orange, yellow, gre, azure, blue, and purple dresses. Her footsteps echoed like a tinkling spring, clear and melodious with an indescribable charm. The momt her stunning features were revealed to the crowd, her heavly charm and flawless aura left everyone breathless. "Could this woman be Mu Rou, the Saintess from the House of Harmony? Her celestial beauty is seldom se in this mortal realm. It's indeed hard to find such a perfect woman, it's like an angel has descded to the earthly world," one of them said. Chu Yuan couldn't help but marvel at Mu Rou. Since arriving in the Great Wu Dynasty, her beauty was the most perfect he had ever se, seemingly without any flaw. In his eyes, she was shrouded in an ethereal aura, her figure blurred and wrapped in a hazy crystalline mist, making her more mysterious; ev Chu Yuan could not discern her abilities. And all of this made him more astounded. "She really is like a fairy," mumbled Chu Xiaoniang under her breath. "Hm?" As Mu Rou approached, she suddly felt a gaze on her, deep and abyss-like. Her eyes landed on Chu Yuan. As their eyes met, she felt a slight shudder, like her soul was being sucked into his gaze, as if turning into an empty shell. "I appreciate all of your presce here at the House of Harmony," she said. Mu Rou managed to hide her reaction. Her voice was as melodious as a droplet of water falling onto a silver plate. Her eloqut speech left the nobles and royals stupefied, utterly captivated by her chanting aura. While others were lost in bewitching charm, Mu Rou's gaze fell on Chu Yuan once again only to find him smiling faintly, seemingly unaffected by her allure. "It's our honor to see you," Liu Xi hastily said. On just a glimpse of Mu Rou, he felt his soul being drawn towards her. He felt that he would willingly comply ev if her demand was his death. "Indeed, indeed. Giv your beauty, you're the most chanting in the kingdom. We would do anything you ask of us," some young nobles said as they watched Mu Rou, their eyes full of awe. "Compared to Liu Xi, our gifts are inferior." "Damn, looks like Miss Mu Rou will have a more favorable impression of him now." .... The rest of the people, seeing Liu Xi's precious gift, looked at their own gifts and shook their heads. They couldn't help but feel jealous as they watched Liu Xi snatch the spotlight. "Indeed, it is a fine guqin." Mu Rou glanced at the guqin, indicating a maid in a purple dress to move it to one side, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindheartedness, Master Liu." "It's nothing, having the chance to gift you this guqin is my fortune," Liu Xi replied. After Mu Rou's commt, Liu Xi felt as if he had lost his bones, and his soul was about to fly into the sky. Out of everyone prest, he was the one who had spok the most with Mu Rou. "Look at the proud face of Liu Xi. It's infuriating! He is just flaunting the fact that his father is the Chief of Staff, so he can acquire more resources," another candidate muttered restfully. The other royals and nobles, despite their anger, had no choice but to sulkily prest their gifts to Mu Rou. "Sir, don't you intd to gift a little to me?" Mu Rou's gaze fell upon Chu Yuan. Since arriving here, he had not spok or moved. Unlike the others who were infatuated with her, he always sat calmly. No matter how she tried to sse his spirit, she found that his surings were veloped in an abyss-like aura, swallowing up all her perception. "Me?" As Chu Yuan was about to speak, Liu Xi sneered, "Who are you? I know so many people but I've never se you before. What's your name? You didn't prepare ev a small gift for the fairy's birthday. Did you barge in here? If you're not sincere, you better leave." "And who do you think you are?" Chu Xiaoniang snapped. Her brother was the monarch of the Great Wu Dynasty, and here was Liu Xi, ordering the emperor to leave. Was he anything more than the son of the Chief of Staff? "Speaking of which, I do have a gift," Chu Yuan looked into his System Space and pulled out something, "This is a little gift I've prepared for you."
