4: Chapter 4: The System's Rating is Too Harsh: This Saintess Only Scores 90?

Night falls, and the stars shine brightly.

The Hall of Eternal Life, however, is brightly lit, as bright as day.

The normally empty and quiet Bedchamber is now packed to the brim with Jade Slips, scrolls, and projection stones. The air is filled with a mixture of various spirit papers, beast skins, and a faint scent of powder.

The Grand Elder leads a dozen deacons, moving in and out like porters, every face beaming with a smile even more festive than during the New Year.

"Young Lord, this is the roster of the current generation of Disciples from the Eastern Wasteland's 'Hundred Flowers Pavilion.' All of them are virgins."

"Young Lord, this is the little princess of the Southern Ridge's 'Beast King Sect.' I heard she has cat demon bloodline; her ears can even move."

"Young Lord, this is the detailed information on the top 100 on the Central Plains' 'Beauty Ranking.' Your servant used the Family's secret agents in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to get this. It's absolutely authentic!"

Xu Chen sits behind that large purple sandalwood desk, looking at the 'wife-selection database' before him that could drown a Mortal, his mouth twitching slightly.

The execution of this group of old men is simply too terrifying.

Less than two hours have passed, and they have not only turned the Xu Family treasury upside down but have even brought in information on beauties from half the Immortal Realm.

"Alright, alright, put them down."

Xu Chen rubs his temples and waves his hand to signal everyone to leave, "I am going to start... ahem, I am going to start working. Without my permission, no one is allowed to come in and disturb me."

"Understood! This servant understands!"

The Grand Elder reveals an ambiguous smile that 'every man understands,' hurriedly leads everyone out, and thoughtfully activates the isolation Formation of the Bedchamber.

The hall finally falls silent.

Xu Chen takes a deep breath, his gaze becoming sharp.

Although there is a lot of data, he has a cheat.

"System, activate Beauty Scanning Eyes (Advanced Version)."

[Ding! Function activated. Please focus on the target's portrait or data, and the System will automatically analyze and rate it.]

Xu Chen picks up the scroll closest to him.

The scroll unfolds, and a woman wearing a pink Flowing Immortal Dress appears on the paper. The craftsmanship is excellent; the woman's face is beautiful, with spring in her eyes, holding a pipa, possessing a charming allure.

The note next to the scroll reads: Eastern Wasteland Hundred Flowers Pavilion Saintess, Liu Yiyi, eighteen years old, proficient in all arts, countless suitors.

At first glance, she is definitely a goddess-level figure.

However, the moment Xu Chen focuses his gaze, a light blue light screen visible only to him pops up.

[Name: Liu Yiyi]

[Identity: Hundred Flowers Pavilion Saintess]

[Height: 165cm | Measurements: B85 W62 H88]

[Beauty: 85 points (The artist used a beauty Spell, please discount the physical appearance by 20%)]

[Special Evaluation: Used a 'Bone Shaving Pill' to adjust her chin, used 'Plumping Grass' to fill her chest. Also, her private life is chaotic; she has had close contact with three Senior Brothers.]

[Comprehensive Rating: 59 points (Fail)]

[System Suggestion: Although the Host is in urgent need of offspring, there is no need to be a cuckold. It is not recommended to pick up things from the trash can.]

"Holy shit..."

Xu Chen's hand shakes, nearly throwing the scroll away.

This System is too savage, right?

Not only did it see through her plastic surgery, but it even dug up her private life?

Looking at the pure and lovely appearance on the scroll, Xu Chen feels a chill.

As expected, the 'photo-editing' in the cultivation world is more terrifying than in his previous life. Back then, it was at most Photoshop; in this world, they use Medicinal Pills and Spell plastic surgery!

"Next!"

Xu Chen throws Liu Yiyi's scroll into the trash can without hesitation.

He picks up a scroll made of beast skin.

In the painting is a wild girl wearing a beast skin skirt, holding a giant axe, with a hot body, tanned skin full of a sense of power.

Southern Ridge War God Temple Saintess, Xing Man'er.

[Name: Xing Man'er]

[Identity: War God Temple Saintess]

[Height: 188cm | Measurements: B95 W75 H100]

[Beauty: 88 points (Wild Beauty)]

[Special Physique: Savage Ancient Tyrant Body (Not fully Awakened)]

[Comprehensive Rating: 82 points]

[System Suggestion: Although she is physically healthy and easily fertile, this target advocates violence and once tore apart three ancient remnants with her bare hands. Considering the Host's current Mortal Physique, there is a risk of having your spine snapped in bed. For the sake of life safety, please be cautious.]

Xu Chen subconsciously touches his waist and shudders.

Spine snapped?

Better forget it.

What he wants is many children and many blessings, not dying young.

"Next!"

For the next half hour, the Hall of Eternal Life stages a cruel 'beauty pageant elimination round.'

"This one won't do, although she is beautiful, she is a stone woman, can't have children, Pass."

"This one won't do either, she cultivates the Dao of Severing Emotions, only has a sword in her heart, will be a piece of wood if married back, Pass."

"This... is this a man? System, are you sure the gender is correct? A woman dressing as a man? That won't work either, her chest is too flat, will affect the offspring's genes, Pass!"

Hundreds of scrolls are thrown all over the floor like waste paper.

Xu Chen becomes more disappointed and disheartened.

In this vast Ancient Immortal Realm, known for its countless beauties, why is it so hard to find a top-tier one with over 90 points?

Is the System's standard too high?

Or are the truly stunning ones hiding themselves and refusing to show their faces?

"I don't believe it!"

Xu Chen grits his teeth, his gaze falling on the top of the desk, on a brocade box wrapped in ten-thousand-year ice silkworm silk.

Just sitting there, the brocade box emits a cold chill that keeps people away.

There is no text on the brocade box, only a simple Tai Chi symbol.

"Tai Chu Holy Land?"

Xu Chen's heart stirs, remembering the name his father mentioned during the day.

He reaches out and opens the brocade box; inside lies a scroll quietly.

The scroll slowly unfolds.

In an instant, the temperature of the entire Bedchamber seems to drop by several degrees.

In the painting is a cliff peak shrouded in clouds.

A woman in a moon-white palace dress stands against the wind. She has her back to the painting, revealing only a beautiful profile.

Three thousand strands of black hair fall like a waterfall, skin whiter than snow, crystal clear as if one can see the blood vessels under the skin.

Her features are so exquisite they don't look like a Mortal's, especially those eyes, cold as ten-thousand-year mysterious ice, as if nothing in the world can stir a ripple in her eyes.

Cold, noble, not eating the food of Mortals.

This is the first feeling the person in the painting gives Xu Chen.

But as an experienced player, Xu Chen's gaze keenly penetrates that cold temperament and lands on the woman's figure.

Although the palace dress is loose, it still cannot hide her proud curves.

The waist is as slender as a willow, but the chest is magnificent; this extreme contrast is simply a deadly temptation.

"Is this the Eastern Wasteland's number one beauty, Su Qingge?"

Xu Chen holds his breath, a long-lost sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

"System, scan!"

[Ding! Deeply analyzing target...]

This time, the System's scanning time is longer than any previous one.

After a full three breaths, a dazzling golden light screen unfolds before his eyes.

[Name: Su Qingge]

[Identity: Tai Chu Saintess / Eastern Wasteland's Number One Beauty]

[Cultivation: Great Perfection of the Four Poles Secret Realm]

[Height: 172cm | Measurements: B92 W60 H94 (Perfect hourglass shape)]

[Beauty: 98 points (Heavenly beauty, looks great without makeup)]

[Special Physique: Nine Yin Mysterious Maiden Body (Top-tier furnace Physique, but needs Pure Yang Qi to sort it out, otherwise she won't live past twenty-five)]

[Emotional History: None (Hasn't even held a man's hand, the surface coldness is to hide her inner ignorance and extreme sensitivity to male aura)]

[Comprehensive Rating: 96 points (S-rank)]

[System Evaluation: The best of the best! On the surface, she is an unreachable ice mountain Saintess, but in reality, she is a blooming flower in urgent need of Yang Qi nourishment. Her Physique and the Host's 'Hongmeng Creation Origin Body' are a match made in heaven. Once combined, it can not only solve her short-life crisis but also bring the Host huge benefits. If you pass by, you must not miss it! Missing it will get you struck by lightning!]

After reading the System's evaluation, Xu Chen can't help but slap his thigh hard.

"Slap!"

"It's her!"

What is a match made in heaven?

This is it!

A high score of 96, simply refreshing tonight's record.

And the description of the 'Nine Yin Mysterious Maiden Body' is simply hinting at him: Go save her quickly!

Needs Pure Yang Qi to sort it out?

What a coincidence, he, Xu Chen, has nothing else but plenty of Yang Qi!

And this 'surface cold, actually sensitive' contrast setting completely hits Xu Chen's XP System.

Imagine bringing such a high-and-mighty Saintess, regarded as a goddess by countless Prodigies, home, and then on the wedding night, tearing off her cold mask bit by bit, watching her show a shy and even longing expression under him...

This is the treatment a harem novel protagonist should have!

Xu Chen grabs Su Qingge's portrait, carefully rolls it up, as if it were his wife who had been lost for many years.

"Someone come!"

Xu Chen shouts at the door.

The hall door is pushed open instantly, and the Grand Elder, who has been waiting outside, appears in front of the desk like a teleportation, eyes shining.

"Young Lord! Have you chosen? Which girl is it?"

Xu Chen hands the scroll in his hand to the Grand Elder, with a smile of certainty on his face.

"Grand Elder, notify my father."

"No need to wait until tomorrow, just set it in the Tai Chu Holy Land!"

"Also, add another 30% to the betrothal gifts! Tell the people below, they must make the spectacle grand, the grandest!"

"I want the whole Eastern Wasteland to know that I, Xu Chen, have taken a fancy to Su Qingge!"

The Grand Elder takes the scroll and looks at it, immediately beaming with joy.

"Tai Chu Saintess? Good eye! The Young Lord really has a good eye!"

"This servant will go do it now! I guarantee that tomorrow morning, the Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin... pfft, the Nine Dragon Pulling Carriage team will be able to set off!"

Watching the Grand Elder leave in a hurry, Xu Chen sits back in the chair, fingers tapping on the desk lightly.

Tai Chu Holy Land, Su Qingge.

A 98-point beauty.

I hope you are more interesting than in the portrait.

"System, claim the reward from just now."

Although he hasn't officially won her yet, the System just hinted that because he locked onto an S-rank target, a small reward was issued in advance.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for locking onto the first S-rank target.]

[Reward: Divine-Grade Charm Halo (Advanced Version).]

[Explanation: The Host's temperament will have a fatal attraction to the Nine Yin Mysterious Maiden Body. Even if you do nothing, just standing there, you are a walking human aphrodisiac to her.]

Xu Chen touches his face and walks to the bronze mirror to look.

The young man in the mirror is still handsome, but there seems to be an indescribable evil charm between his brows.

"Human aphrodisiac?"

Xu Chen's mouth curls into a wicked smile.
