3: The list of beauties: Su Rouxue and Lin Wanqiu, women of destiny!

Another picture of Revered Master Yun Mengli

This beautiful women ranking recorded one hundred beauties with peerless talents selected from the countless female Cultivators across the Nine Great Domains.

These one hundred women with world-toppling beauty are all undeniably of celestial fairy caliber within the Nine Great Domains, each with their own unique charm, and Leng Qing Shuang is ranked eleventh!

And the Su Rouxue before him, although her Realm and strength cannot compare to Leng Qing Shuang's, is also listed on this ranking.

Su Rouxue, ranked thirty-fourth on the beautiful women ranking, is known as the Snow Sword Fairy!

It can be said that anyone on this ranking, even the hundredth-ranked beauty, possesses an undeniably peerless appearance within the Nine Great Domains, with not much difference from the first place, only a gap in popularity.

After all, these hundred beauties were selected from among trillions of female Cultivators; how could any of them not be stunning?

If you lack the visage of immortal grace and jade-like beauty, the charm of divine spirit and icy soul, even if you possess the allure to topple cities and kingdoms, it's still not enough—you absolutely cannot make the list!

Su Rouxue thought for a moment, her gentle gaze meeting Lu Yu's burning stare, and spoke.

"I don't know much about Leng Qing Shuang, only that she should be very familiar with your Revered Master, like close sisters. Her personality is completely different from your Revered Master's, leaning towards aloofness and frostiness, as her name suggests."

"Her Physique is the Nine Yin Cold Jade Body, which also makes her temperament rather cold. Your Pure Yang Body evolving into this Nine Yang Haori Body might very well be due to the influence of her Physique!"

Lu Yu felt that was indeed the case. If the other party didn't have this Nine Yin Cold Jade Body, the System probably wouldn't have rewarded him with the corresponding Nine Yang Haori Body.

He picked up the token she gave him. It felt warm and smooth in his hand, with cloud and water patterns that seemed to shimmer faintly under the moonlight.

"Canglan Sacred Order..."

He recalled the woman's icy yet complex words.

"One act of protection?"

Lu Yu shook his head slightly. He was the Divine Son of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect, the seventh Disciple of Grand Elder Yun Mengli, with six formidable Senior Sisters above him!

Although the Canglan Sacred Sect and the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect are both among the Nine Great Overlord Powers, the gap in their strength is not insignificant—one Ranks in the top two, while the other is at the very bottom.

The one at the bottom is naturally this Canglan Sacred Sect.

He uncorked the jade bottle again. The medicinal fragrance grew stronger. Inside were three green, translucent Medicinal Pills the size of longan fruits, with pill patterns on the surface—definitely high-grade goods.

He naturally knew these pills were meant to help him recover from his damaged Golden Core. Leng Qing Shuang also knew that her demands last night were somewhat inhumane and had definitely caused some damage to Lu Yu's Foundation.

Therefore, she gave him these most precious pills of hers, which could even be considered holy healing medicine for Mahayana Stage Cultivators, to heal the injuries caused by the damage to his Foundation.

For pills with such significant healing effects even on Mahayana Stage Cultivators, restoring a mere damaged Golden Core would be as easy as pie.

However, Leng Qing Shuang probably didn't expect that Lu Yu's Golden Core would reach a higher level with the System's help, making these pills unnecessary.

"Healing holy medicine given by a Mahayana Stage Cultivator."

He also had healing pills on him, and their grade wasn't low either. He then stored them away.

That voice came again, this time calm and unfluctuating, like an emotionless customer service agent.

Lu Yu steadied his mind and silently thought: "System."

A semi-transparent, light-blue screen projected directly onto his retina, not obstructing his vision but clearly visible.

[Destiny Protagonist System]

[System Function Brief]:

Subduing Daughters of Destiny yields generous rewards.

Suppressing/eliminating Sons of Destiny (plundering their Opportunities/Luck) yields corresponding rewards.

Luck Value can be used to unlock Advanced functions and exchange for special items.

"So, in the future, I need to interact more with these Daughters of Destiny? And it has to be 'deep bonds'?"

Lu Yu stroked his chin.

"And Sons of Destiny? Step on them to death whenever I see them?"

This System is a bit ruthless.

But he liked it. The cultivation world was inherently a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Having this clear goal guidance and cheat was far better than his previous blind fumbling.

"But I'm also a son of destiny. Suppressing myself should probably count too..."

Lu Yu thought of the reward he just obtained from the System's notification about 'intercepting Son of Destiny Lu Yu's Dao Companion'.

Speaking of which, Lu Yu looked at Su Rouxue beside him and used a System detection.

[Name: Su Rouxue]

[Age: Two hundred twenty-six years]

[Realm: Tribulation Crossing Stage Late Stage]

[Luck: 5,600 (Purple)]

[Physique: Ice Lotus Moon Yin Body, a top-tier Dual Cultivation Physique!]

[Description: A passably good Daughter of Destiny. Currently acting as Lu Yu's guardian. One of the future Dao Companions of Son of Destiny Lu Yu. The current protagonist can take the initiative to subdue her and seize Lu Yu's Dao Companion Opportunity!]

Lu Yu immediately widened his eyes!

This System is slandering me, slandering me!

I never had such dirty thoughts about Aunt Xue... Alright, Aunt Xue is so gentle and considerate towards me, and so dignified and beautiful. It's only natural for me to have such thoughts!

He chose to leave that topic.

"Let's get out of this damned place first."

Lu Yu stood up, stretched his limbs, his joints crackling, filled with a sense of power.

The Nine Yang Haori Body seemed to significantly enhance his Physical Body as well. He identified the direction and sped towards the mountain range's exit. His movement speed was more than just a step faster than when he came.

It was already dawn outside. Lu Yu summoned the small flying boat his Revered Master had given him for travel. It was extremely fast and very energy-efficient.

Setting the course for the Sect, the flying boat slowly ascended.

Sitting in the cabin, he familiarized himself with his newfound power while continuing to study the System.

That 'Character Detection' function was quite interesting. It seemed to help him identify who were Daughters of Destiny or Sons of Destiny. He tried using it on a passing wild goose.

[Target: Ordinary Gray Goose, no Luck.]

"..."

Alright, it seems not just anything is worthy of possessing Luck.

The flying boat flew for half a day. The terrain below gradually became desolate.

Lu Yu was just planning how to pay his respects upon reaching his Family's old site when suddenly!

[Detected intense Luck fluctuations ahead. Type: Daughter of Destiny (unawakened, extremely high potential), Status: Crisis!]

The System prompt sounded urgently.

Lu Yu frowned, controlled the flying boat to lower its altitude, and swept his Divine Sense forward.

Ahead were the ruins of an abandoned town.

At the entrance of a filthy alley, three men dressed in black martial attire, faces covered with black cloth, with cultivation at the second or third level of Golden Core, were surrounding a figure curled up in a corner.

The one being surrounded was a little beggar. Their clothes were so tattered the original color was indistinguishable, their hair knotted like dry grass, their face so dirty only a pair of eyes wide with fear were visible. Judging by their figure, they weren't old.

One of the men in black was kicking her, snarling viciously: "Little bastard, run! Run again! Hand over the thing, and we'll give you a quick death!"

The little beggar hugged her chest tightly, not uttering a word. Only in those eyes, besides fear, was a startling stubbornness and hatred.

The moment Lu Yu's Divine Sense swept over the little beggar, the System screen automatically popped up with detailed information:

[Name: Lin Wanqiu]

[Age: Fifteen years]

[Status: Severely injured, starving]

[Physique: Nirvana Phoenix Body (unawakened), a top-tier Dual Cultivation Physique!]

[Luck: 12,000 (Red)]

[Description: Formerly the sole daughter of the Qingzhou Lin Family. The Family was exterminated by the Black Wind Fortress half a month ago. The Family secret treasure 'scarlet phoenix pendant' is missing. She narrowly escaped by wearing a replica. Currently being pursued relentlessly. Future Dao Companion and Disciple of Son of Destiny Lu Yu. The protagonist can take the initiative to subdue her and intercept Lu Yu's Opportunity!]

"Exterminated? Pursuit? Nirvana Phoenix Body?"

Lu Yu's gaze sharpened.

He wasn't originally someone who liked to meddle in others' affairs. Many people died every day in the cultivation world.

But the System's prompt, coupled with the familiar despair and hatred in the little girl's eyes, reminded him of his own Family's experience when he was young.

Similarly, his Family was exterminated by enemies, leaving only him saved by his Revered Master. The enemies were completely annihilated by his Revered Master, their ashes scattered. The head of that Soul Transformation Stage Old Ancestor was still being used as a chamber pot in his room!

Add to that the fact that she was a Daughter of Destiny, so she absolutely had to be taken in!

The flying boat quietly landed behind a broken wall. Lu Yu put away the flying boat, straightened his clothes, and walked over leisurely from the other end of the alley.

"Hey, a few grown men bullying a little beggar, aren't you ashamed?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the alley.

The three men in black and the little beggar simultaneously looked up at this uninvited guest.
