Chapter 490: Am I Beautiful?

“Great Emperor, do you think I’m beautiful like this?”

At the source of Darkness.

The Darkness Origin transformed into a figure clad in a long black dress with dark patterns, her inky hair neatly piled up, revealing a fair neck. Her curvy figure was accentuated by the dark golden gown, leaving little to the imagination.

Great Emperor of Covering Heaven…

He’s already over a hundred thousand years old, looking so decrepit he barely resembles a human anymore, with murky eyes and a frail demeanor.

You’re asking him about aesthetics now?

“Just let this old man be, I really can’t see what’s beautiful or not these days,” the Great Emperor of Covering Heaven said with a strained voice.

The Darkness Origin glanced at him and sighed.

“You’re the earliest to awaken; if I don’t ask you, who else can I ask?” the Darkness Origin replied.

The Great Emperor’s eyelids twitched.

This is ridiculous.

How did the Darkness Origin start wanting to become a woman out of the blue?

What’s so great about becoming a woman?

Why not become a man instead?

This strange behavior must have a catch.

The truth might just be that… the Darkness Origin wants to fall in love.

Thinking of this, the Great Emperor’s eyelids twitched even more.

Infinite Celestial Lord, if the Darkness Origin started dating, that would be a catastrophic romance.

If the Darkness Origin gets sentimental and does something bad with her partner, wouldn’t the whole Darkness Origin be shaken?

If you have questions, just ask.

The Great Emperor hesitated before speaking up, “Um, Darkness, are you into men now?”

The Darkness Origin looked puzzled.

“No!”

“Then why are you…?”

“Because I found that as long as I transform into a very beautiful woman, my luck would improve a bit. I’ve been experiencing a string of losses lately, and my luck has been awful, so I want to change it,” the Darkness Origin said seriously.

“Is that a thing?”

“Of course! This is a conclusion I’ve drawn over a long time—beautiful women have good luck!”

The Great Emperor…

He was actually a little worried. Now that the Darkness Origin was becoming superstitious after so many failures, and with Lu Ye’s growing strength, the pressure on the Darkness Origin would only increase. Would she end up going completely insane?

“But I really can’t tell if it’s beautiful or not…”

In the Great Emperor’s eyes, the concept of whether a woman is beautiful or not had already faded away.

Yet the Darkness Origin understood.

Not beautiful!

Because if the Great Emperor met Shen Xitang, he would definitely think she was beautiful without a doubt.

Even if the Great Emperor had lost his appreciation for beauty, the kind of beauty Shen Xitang possessed was that of supreme Dao beauty. No matter who sees her—man, woman, or any other being—they would be captivated.

That’s what true beauty feels like.

Now, since the Great Emperor couldn’t see any beauty, it meant she wasn’t beautiful enough.

Speaking of which, although the Great Emperor looked ancient and barely human anymore, he was still a man. Asking him about beauty while changing her appearance felt awkward, as if her looks were his choice.

No way, I can’t let this old man see it. I must change into someone else!

But who should she choose?

The Darkness Origin began scanning through the people sleeping within her.

Men were out of the question since they always tend to be suspicious and might infer things that don’t exist.

So she had to choose a woman.

But not one too smart.

Uh, Shangguan Fool would actually be quite suitable, but the Darkness Origin was too scared to approach, afraid of catching something dirty.

The Darkness Origin chose carefully.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Hmm?

This one looks good, and she’s a Quasi-Emperor, so she should be fine, let’s wake her up!

The Darkness Origin picked a stunningly beautiful woman. Let’s just say, if she’s a Quasi-Emperor, she’s definitely remarkable.

This “remarkable” doesn’t mean the most beautiful but still ranks among the top beauties, maybe in a million.

And by “a million,” I mean not ordinary people, because while ordinary people can be beautiful, their skin often has many flaws and pores that are terrifyingly large.

This million refers to cultivators, whose skin is typically in good shape.

Another reason to wake this woman is her aura, which gives off a low-tier Shen Xitang vibe.

Who knows if she’s smart enough? No matter, a Quasi-Emperor has control over herself!

It’s you!

A delightful little sound escaped her lips.

Bai Huxin slowly opened her eyes.

There was a hint of confusion in her gaze, not sure what had just happened.

Wasn’t she supposed to be sleeping within the Darkness Origin?

A beautiful face appeared in her sight, and Bai Huxin immediately woke up, recognizing the identity of the woman before her.

“I’m Bai Huxin, greetings to the Darkness Lord!” Bai Huxin hurried to her feet, gracefully bending at the waist and bowing to the Darkness Origin.

How did the Darkness Origin become a woman?

The Darkness Origin’s status was supreme before a Quasi-Emperor. Slightly stronger than an Emperor and on par with a Celestial Lord.

Bai Huxin still needed to rely on the Darkness Origin to survive, so her attitude was very respectful!

The Darkness Origin nodded gently.

“I woke you early partly because you still have lifespan left and because you are suitable for my needs. Do you have any objections?”

Bai Huxin looked a bit dazed, since she wasn’t skilled in combat as a Quasi-Emperor. She had entered the Darkness Origin due to her charm, having captivated a Celestial Lord who held her very dear, which is why she got to come along.

“It’s an honor to receive the favor of the Darkness Lord, but I’m not good at fighting. Will that delay your important matters?” Bai Huxin said softly.

“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to fight. Just look at me now, am I beautiful?” The Darkness Origin twirled lightly, the black dress flowing, revealing a fair, elongated leg.

Bai Huxin???

However, anyone who can flirt with a Celestial Lord clearly has high emotional intelligence.

After all, the Celestial Lord she flirted with wasn’t the Nine Lives Celestial Lord but a regular one.

In a flash, Bai Huxin had a rough idea.

The Darkness Origin woke her up not just to receive a compliment about how beautiful she is to the extreme.

But what could be the reason?

Bai Huxin discreetly observed the Darkness Origin’s expression.

“Darkness Lord, to be honest, it is beautiful indeed, but I feel like something is still missing,” Bai Huxin said.

The Darkness Origin was instantly intrigued.

“Then tell me, what’s missing?”

She guessed right!

The Darkness Origin woke herself up to help her become beautiful!

Bai Huxin’s heart raced with excitement. Perhaps this was her chance; if she could win over the Darkness Origin, she might just have a shot at that supreme Emperor position!
