Chapter 1257 The Eleventh on the List

Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257 The Eleventh on the List

The Nine Heavens Tower’s announced rankings are numerous and actually not few, but the ones that garner the most attention are naturally the Divine List and the Beauties of the World List.

Compared to the former, which has no ranking but just a selection of individuals, the latter is discussed much more.

So much so that each update of the list could provoke no small amount of fluctuation.

With Ye Qingci’s recent active presence in the Capital City, this Demon Slayer Saint from the Ye Family naturally became the subject of everyone’s enthusiastic discussions.

Almost everyone believed that Ye Qingci making the list was a sure thing, what they debated over was what rank she could achieve?

"If you ask me, even if she can’t top the list, she’ll at least be in the top five. An Earth Immortal in her thirties—that achievement has already broken the record set by the Lord National Master, hasn’t it? Her potential is immeasurable!"

"Potential is potential, strength is strength! The Lord National Master was so esteemed back in the day, wasn’t he only ranked fifth when he first made the Beauties List? What makes Ye Qingci think she can enter the top five right away? Don’t forget, within that top five, the National Master and Imperial Concubine Chen will surely be there!"

Imperial Concubine Chen, Le Niushang.

The most renowned among the emperor’s consorts and very much the topic of conversation for everyone.

It’s no other reason than, in the same year she topped the Beauties List, this woman, already famous throughout the land, entered the royal palace and became a motherly figure to the entire nation.

And what few people noticed was that, in the same year, Yun Qingluo from the Cloud Tribe disappeared from the Beauties List and did not appear on the World’s Beauties List.

That year, the Cloud Tribe was in turmoil, with an unknown Earth Immortal with a sword breaking into the Cloud Tribe...

"A bunch of clowns."

A cold voice emanated from a corner of the tavern, spreading a chilling killing intent around.

"Lone Star, don’t be rash. The master has instructed us not to make trouble during this period. And... people from the Dragon Soul Department are also here."

Mo Ningchen spoke up to stop Yang Qianyan, who had murder in his heart. He knew that when it came to matters involving Ye Qingci, this Demon Slayer Saint known for his cool and decisive nature would often lose his usual composure.

"I have my reasons."

Yang Qianyan’s gaze shifted slightly, noticing Zhuang Yihan, who came with the same purpose to this tavern.

Seeing Yang Qianyan’s gaze, Zhuang Yihan stood up and boldly sat beside him, saying, "Lone Star Saint Envoy, we meet again. Are you also here to wait for the Nine Heavens Tower to release the list?"

The tavern where the two were located was a business of the Nine Heavens Tower in the Capital City, normally dealing with some affairs related to the Nine Heavens Dark Web. It was only at times such as these that it would become so bustling.

Seeing Zhuang Yihan taking the initiative to engage in conversation, Yang Qianyan still did not show much friendliness, retorting coldly.

"I’m here on orders."

Zhuang Yihan smiled slightly, immediately understanding the other’s implication.

Obviously, Yang Qianyan was acting on the orders of the Demon Slayer Department to observe the specific names on the new list.

The Nine Heavens Tower’s Beauties List is indeed fair and impartial, but how could it have lasted so long in Xia Country without some special significance?

Understanding this, the Nine Heavens Tower would try to ensure all is in order with each update of the list.

Of course, based on the Nine Heavens Tower’s style, others have no right to nominate candidates for the list. Though nominating won’t work, whether someone makes the list or not, the Nine Heavens Tower still respects the decision of the person in question... or the involved power.

Whether one can make the list is up to the Nine Heavens Tower to decide, but whether to be on the list or not, the Nine Heavens Tower still shows sufficient respect to those on the list. The ranked World’s Beauties List is like this.

Of course, the Divine List, which only lists names without ranking, follows a different set of logic.

The slow update of the Divine List is also related to this, but that is a story for another time.

As for those present, they all knew that Ye Qingci being on the list was a sure thing.

Some even sensed that Ye Qingci’s recent "reveal" of strength might be related to the list update.

But even so, everyone was still curious about what rank Ye Qingci would achieve, a detail probably even Ye Qingci herself did not know.

"If I remember correctly, didn’t the Nine Heavens Tower approach the Demon Slayer Department the last time the list was updated?"

Zhuang Yihan suddenly addressed Yang Qianyan with the question.

Yang Qianyan did not respond, simply continuing to drink as if he hadn’t heard Zhuang Yihan’s words at all.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yihan persisted, asking, "Why agree to let Ye Qingci be on the list this time when the offer was refused last time?"

Watching Zhuang Yihan, who had no intention of giving up, Yang Qianyan finally couldn’t help but say, "Why don’t you just go and ask her these questions directly?"

As their gazes met, the tension was thick between the two men who both had special feelings for Ye Qingci, causing Mo Ningchen, who was by their side, to lament his bad luck in being tasked with this unfortunate affair.

"I did ask, but she ignored me," Zhuang Yihan replied calmly, causing Yang Qianyan to pause before chuckling softly, "Then what makes you think I would know?"

Confirming rankings should have been a task simple enough for anyone to handle, but Yang Qianyan had actively volunteered to take the trip himself, since he was very concerned about it as well.

Listening to him, Zhuang Yihan smiled and suggested, "Since neither of us knows, then allow me to make a reasonable guess... perhaps... they plan to make Ye Qingci into an existence capable of standing on her own, like Lord National Master, and then to succeed the Demon Slayer Department?"

Hearing the other’s words that obviously intended to provoke, Yang Qianyan said indifferently, "I don’t care, but if Qingci takes over the Demon Slayer Department, wouldn’t Ye Qingming be worried?"

"Lone Star, you worry too much. Demon Slayer Department, Dragon Soul Department, in the future, all will bear the Ye surname, and that’s a good thing. Certainly better than all bearing the Yang surname, right?"

Zhuang Yihan’s words struck a nerve in Yang Qianyan, making his face change in an instant.

He prided himself on being no worse than Ye Qingming by a hair, but compared to Ye Qingci, his brother Yang Junmo was leagues apart.

Demon Slayer and Dragon Soul Departments might indeed one day bear the Ye surname, but it was absolutely impossible that they would all bear the Yang surname!

"I too will become an Earth Immortal, very soon."

Zhuang Yihan scoffed, "Then we await the good news from the Lone Star Saint Envoy."

Big talk?

Who couldn’t talk big?

If it were Long Xuan saying this, Zhuang Yihan might have taken him seriously, but Yang Qianyan, what did he count for?

The difference between mortals and immortals, a single step represented a gulf of thousands of miles; and Yang Qianyan was lacking more than just a single step!

At that moment, the screen on the other side suddenly flickered. After a burst of changing colors advertising the Nine Heavens Dark Web, the brand-new Beauty Ranking of the land finally began to slowly appear before everyone’s eyes.

At the top of the list were Le Niushang, Ji Yuguang.

As always, the ranking held the tradition of dual beauties at the top, with the number one position on the Beauty Ranking surprisingly undergoing no changes.

And this was Le Niushang’s fourth time retaining her position at the top of the Beauty Ranking.

Beneath the two names, Ye Qingci’s name appeared prominently.

Her brief biography didn’t have anything special, but the term ’Earth Immortal’ marked at the end of her realm was striking.

Even though people were already well aware, it still caused a shock to all.

And below, the names that followed were equally astonishing.

Yun Qingluo, who had once been on the list and then disappeared, her name unexpectedly reappeared.

This woman, who was born in the Cloud Tribe and currently stayed hidden among the Ancient Clan, had her name appear again on the Beauty Ranking for reasons unknown.

What was going on? Cloud Tribe or Yu Clan? Was there going to be some major action soon?

With Ye Qingci ranking just below the two leading beauties, and the reemergence of Yun Qingluo, the onlookers were all dumbstruck.

And while they were still in shock, the full list had already appeared completely before everyone.

The top five.

Le Niushang, Ji Yuguang, Ye Qingci, Yun Qingluo, Feng Jie Yu, Nangong Fuxue.

The last four: Ming Jinxu, Pei Qin, Yan Shengnan, Su Zi.

Because the Beauty Ranking only lists ten people, and with Imperial Concubine Chen Le Niushang and Ji Yuguang sharing the first position, the Beauty Ranking in fact only listed up to the ninth place, lacking a tenth person!

Yet, at this moment, following the ten names, another name appeared: Zhao Ziyuan.

When the last name emerged before everyone, it was like a bombshell detonating.

The occurrence of joint leaders on the Beauty Ranking was not new, but for the first time, this list of a fixed ten people now held the names of eleven!
