49: Wang Family's Great Beauty

"Heterohuman? What the hell?" the Little Security Guard asked in surprise.

Why did another strange person pop out?

"I beg for your forgiveness, Great One. Even my master doesn't fully understand this Man in Black!"

Seeing his devout expression, the Little Security Guard didn't think he was lying. "What are the rewards for this competition?"

"I'm not going if there aren't any rewards."

Old Man Hulu said, "I don't fully understand either, but I heard it's divided into four Ranks."

"Passing the first Rank makes you a Rank A Expert, and you receive an A-cup as a prize."

"..."

"By extension, passing the fourth Rank makes you a Rank D Expert, and you receive a D-cup as a prize."

The Little Security Guard sneered, "Damn, even the prizes are weird."

"If there aren't any decent benefits, why would anyone go?"

"What a bullshit competition. Tell your master that I don't have time to go."

The old man panicked. If he didn't complete the task, he would be punished.

He hurriedly said, "Great One, you must go! If you win first place, my master has a great beauty to offer."

The Little Security Guard's spirits lifted, and a gleam appeared in his eyes. "Oh? Your master has a great beauty?"

Seeing the light in his eyes, the old man quickly employed a honey trap. "Hehe, our master has a daughter. She is a lady of high standing, proficient in the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting—none of which she hasn't mastered."

"Originally, she was meant to marry into a wealthy Family and become a rich lady."

"Unfortunately, in these chaotic times, wealthy families are no longer defined by money or status, but by whether they have experts backing them."

"Therefore, my master intends to hold a Martial Arts Marriage Tournament for her hand. Whoever wins first place will be recruited as a Matrilocal Son-in-law. Not only can he marry a beauty, but he can also inherit my master's billions in Family assets."

The Little Security Guard thought to himself: I don't care about Family assets or whatever.

If his daughter really is a Little Beauty, then it might be worth a trip.

"Is your master's daughter really a great beauty?"

Old Man Hulu: "Hehe, she's a one-in-a-thousand beauty!"

"She was raised in the inner chambers by my master. She didn't even go to school; instead, he spent a fortune hiring private tutors."

"Years ago, some monks came to our house for a ritual. They were senior monks who had been ordained for decades and had extremely high Buddhist cultivation."

"After accidentally seeing our Young Miss's beauty, hehe, those monks immediately forgot all their monastic precepts. They declared on the spot that they would grow their hair out, return to secular life, and marry our Young Miss."

"This incident became a piece of neighborhood gossip."

The Little Security Guard laughed, "Haha, then I'll take the trouble to go. But if your Young Miss isn't as beautiful as you say, you'll pay the price."

Old Man Hulu immediately replied, "Hehe, how would I dare deceive you, Great One?"

"If I've lied to you, you can twist my head off and kick it like a ball."

The Little Security Guard laughed heartily.

Back inside Bright Moon Villa.

Jing Hua flipped through the red invitation, a suspicious look appearing on her face.

"Hmph, they're rich enough! It's even trimmed with gold."

"Are you really going, Brother?"

"I wonder if it's a trap?"

The Little Security Guard smiled contemptuously. "In the face of true strength, what use is a trap?"

"Even if there is a trap, I'll flatten it in an instant."

He then asked Li Qianxue, "Who is this Wang Jiacheng? Why don't I know anything about him?"

Li Qianxue was a CEO of a wealthy Family and had some understanding of Changning City's high society.

The circles of high society were very narrow.

It was hard to know anything if you weren't an insider.

Asking Li Qianxue this question was perfectly appropriate.

Li Qianxue said, "Brother, this Wang Jiacheng is quite something. Their Family mainly operates in animal husbandry and meat processing. They are considered one of the top ten families in Changning City."

"We young misses of Changning City occasionally gather for tea and gossip."

"But I've actually never met their Young Miss, Wang Ajiao. I've heard she has a graceful figure and infinite charm."

"Fearing that lechers would covet her, the Wang Family raised this Young Miss in the inner chambers. Her tutors were all women."

As Li Qianxue spoke, she saw the lecherous look on the Little Security Guard's face and realized she had said too much.

Wasn't she just recommending another beauty to the Little Security Guard?

There were already enough beauties in Bright Moon Villa!

If another one was added, wouldn't there be more competition for his favor?

Oh no, it's all my mouth's fault for not having a filter!

The Little Security Guard nodded. It seemed Old Man Hulu hadn't lied to him!

He pinched Xiaoxue's cheek. "Little Beauty, it's rare for you to be so open-minded."

"I thought you'd be narrow-minded, get jealous, and deliberately hide it from me!"

"I didn't expect you to proactively recommend her. You truly are the matriarch of Bright Moon Villa!"

Xiaoxue's face turned red. Is that what I was thinking?

When did I ever recommend a beauty?

But let the misunderstanding be!

I'll just go along with it!

I can't exactly defend myself!

To make his participation in the Martial Arts Marriage Tournament smoother, the Little Security Guard immediately increased his chatting with the little beauties to boost his Spiritual Power.

The Little Security Guard discovered that the higher a beauty's beauty score, the more his Spiritual Power increased.

Chatting with beauties with lower scores resulted in a slightly lower increase in Spiritual Power.

Of course, most of the beauties the Little Security Guard collected had scores above 90.

The Spiritual Power increase only varied by two or three points.

After working tirelessly day and night, he had chatted with all the beauties he had collected but hadn't spoken to yet.

Calculating his total Spiritual Power storage, it had now increased to over 500 points.

The Little Security Guard was still a bit uneasy. Nowadays, Heterohumans were popping up everywhere; even a servant who drank could join the Ranks of Ability Users.

There is always someone better out there.

It wouldn't be strange if an expert suddenly appeared whose martial arts surpassed his own.

Only by increasing his Spiritual Power could he increase his chances of success.

The Little Security Guard decided to continue killing Zombies to boost his Spiritual Power.

Teleporting outside the city, the Little Security Guard took an off-road motorcycle out of his space.

He sped along the highway like a bolt of lightning.

When the Zombies on the highway saw a living person, they all chased after the motorcycle.

He attracted Zombies all along the way.

A spectacular scene appeared on the highway.

Vroom, vroom—

A young man was speeding ahead on a motorcycle.

Roar, roar—

A massive horde of thousands of Zombies, clawing and baring their teeth, chased him frantically.

The Little Security Guard found it too troublesome to kill them one by one.

He waited until over a thousand Zombies had gathered.

Only then did the Little Security Guard stop his motorcycle.

He grabbed a handful of air, condensed the moisture, and manifested countless Ice Swords, aiming them at the Zombies and blowing their heads apart.

The entire process took only a few seconds, and over a thousand Zombies collapsed to the ground in unison.

His Spiritual Power value increased to over 600 points.

The Little Security Guard started another round of attracting and slaughtering Zombies... his Spiritual Power value had a Breakthrough to over 1,000 points.

Suddenly, he saw a Zombie ahead that was different from the others.

It was massive, nearly two or three meters tall.

Its movements were quite agile, unlike other Zombies that limped along.

It even seemed to have some intelligence, eyeing the Little Security Guard as if sizing up an enemy.

This Giant Zombie was quite strong; it easily grabbed a nearby Zombie and bit its head off in one go.

Its mouth seemed like a snake's, capable of expanding to swallow things larger than its own mouth.

"Crunch, crunch!"

It was like chewing walnuts without cracking the shells first.

The hard skull was bitten into tiny pieces...
