Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Lotus Pond was bustling with people.

Yao Guang sat at the head of the VIP seats, waving a folding fan in his hand, chatting and laughing with several heads of small families.

"Master Yao is so full of energy, I think your daughter's victory is a sure thing!"

"Isn't it? Miss Yao is as beautiful as a flower, she can be said to be the most beautiful woman in Hezhou!"

"..."

Yao Guang really enjoys being admired by everyone.

He turned his head and saw Wei Jin approaching with a sullen face, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Brother Wei, you don't look very good."

"Could it be that you overindulged yourself in the brothel last night and harmed your health?"

Wei Jin said in a deep voice: "Yao Guang, don't put me in the same category as you."

Yao Guang sneered: "Tsk tsk tsk... Look at what you said. We are all good brothers, so why should we be embarrassed?"

Wei Jin was already annoyed because his daughter stayed indoors, and when he heard his daughter's frivolous words, he threw his sleeves and scolded her on the spot.

"Don't think I don't know!"

"If you hadn't secretly bribed the examiner and learned the test questions in advance, how could you have prepared so thoroughly?"

Yao Guang was not at all flustered. Instead, he clapped his hands and chuckled openly, "Brother Wei, that's quite a formality."

"The rule in Zhongdu has always been that the competent ones get the job."

"Besides, if you have the ability, why don't you try your luck?"

This remark caused everyone at the table to laugh.

Wei Jin was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He was about to explode, but he saw the three judges on the jury raised their hands to signal him to stop, so he had to give up in anger.

The three judges covered their faces with veils, revealing only their jaw lines, and not showing their true faces.

"Brother Wei, don't panic," Yao Guang said softly, "This year's three judges are all talented people from various sects. They have absolute say in the matter of judging beauty."

"As long as Niece Wei performs well, the grading will definitely be fair."

After Yao Guang finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curved into a grin.

He had already bribed a judge and was sure to get first place for his daughter.

"The time has come——"

Soon, Hua Niang stood in the center of the lotus platform, holding a gilded bell, and announced loudly.

"Please come in, my lady!"

As soon as he finished speaking, figures appeared one after another from the pond.

Several young women dressed in animal skins rushed into the field with wooden spears in hand.

There was also a girl wearing a flaming cloak that was about ten feet long. Sparks flew with every step she took, making the red carpet sizzle.

What's more, he was carrying a bronze sword half a person's height, which scared the guests in the audience so much that they covered their eyes.

"What...what is this!?"

"My goodness!"

"Even if it's a 'tyrant', it wouldn't be so bizarre..."

"Why did such a word come out this year? Where did the judges come from?"

There was a lot of chatter in the audience.

Just at this time.

Yao Yue'er entered the venue with her head held high, leading twenty black-clad guards. As soon as she appeared, she was greeted with thunderous applause.

She was wearing soft armor with red flame patterns that fitted her body, a gilded dagger hung at her waist, and her black hair was tied up high with a red rope.

Chen Xian and Zhou Zhou accompanied him, looking heroic.

"That's the eldest daughter of the Yao family, right?"

"That's right!"

"As expected of a young lady, your appearance is different."

"From this perspective, those above are all monsters..."

……

Hearing everyone's comments, Yao Guang's mouth almost broke with laughter.

snort!

Want to steal the limelight from the girl from the Yao family?

Go drink the northwest wind!

The three judges were whispering to each other and exchanging opinions, and it was obvious that they were all very satisfied.

The more this happened, the more nervous Wei Jin became.

Wei Xiangyuan didn't know what she had done, but she was sneaking around with two new maids, and no one knew what she was preparing.

When the servants in the pavilion were asked, they knew nothing.

"Brother Wei."

"Where's your Xiangyuan?"

"It's been so long since the start. If you miss the deadline, you'll have to withdraw from the competition."

Yao Guang smiled with narrowed eyes.

Wei Jin ignored him and kept staring at the entrance.

"Look!"

"The eldest lady of the Wei Mansion has arrived!"

Someone yelled, attracting everyone's attention.

A pitch-black, elongated carriage rushed in, and ice crystals spread wherever the wheels passed.

The moment the car door opened, the cold fog made the audience in the front row shiver.

pat-

Lu Yuguan and Miao'er got off the car first.

They were wearing dark suits, with silver icicles on their collars and sunglasses on their noses.

The two men stood on both sides of the car door with expressionless faces, waiting quietly.

The audience was silent.

Wei Jin was dumbfounded.

"This……"

"What's going on?!"

Yao Guang sneered, "Brother Wei, you think you're a tyrant just by relying on this group of dark-skinned servants?"

Yao Yueer even mocked him directly.

"Wei Xiangyuan, ah Wei Xiangyuan..."

"Do you think you can defeat me with these ingenious ideas?"

There was silence for two minutes, but the protagonist Wei Xiangyuan was reluctant to show up.

"What are you doing?"

"Why hasn't Miss Wei come down yet?"

"Yeah, isn't this playing tricks on us?"

……

Listening to the voice beside him, Lu Yuguan twisted his mouth and smiled.

"I'm waiting for the atmosphere group."

"What are you in such a hurry for?"

After saying that, he snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

For an instant.

Countless extras rushed to the front of the carriage like fish in a river, some of them were holding cheering signs, and some were so excited that they burst into tears.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Wei Xiangyuan!"

"Missy, we love you!"

"Please favor me, Miss!"

Lu Yuguan had a grim expression on his face. He stretched out his hand and pushed the crowd aside: "Make way, everyone, make way!"

Miao'er followed closely behind, holding a roll of red carpet and shaking it out in front of the door.

Swish! ! !

The crimson silk was suddenly spread out, extending all the way to the judges' seats.

Seeing that everything was ready, Lu Yuguan took out a voice tube from behind his back:

"The young lady has arrived——"

"Get out of the way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xiangyuan opened the door and got out of the car.

She was wearing a white gauze dress, the hem of which billowed like a cascading river of stars, making her look like a fairy from heaven.

Looking at the dark crowd, Wei Xiangyuan slowly raised his right hand and rubbed the corner of his lips with his thumb.

"Ahhhhhh, sister, kill me!"

"That look, that figure, I'm dead, I'm dead!"

"Look at me, Miss!"

"I want to be the ice at your feet!"

Lu Yuguan threw the magic weapon in his arms, and it projected large characters on the lake surface -

"Let the fragrance fly freely, and the fans will always be with you"

This scene instantly ignited the whole audience.

Ice crystals pave the way.

The cold fog is lingering.

With every step Wei Xiangyuan took, an ice lotus bloomed under her feet, sparkling in the sunlight.

On the judges' bench.

The three judges paused slightly, and one of them tapped the table with his fingertips, as if thinking.

Yao Guang's smile froze on his face, the folding fan in his hand snapped shut, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"This...what kind of 'dominance' is this?!"

He gritted his teeth and growled.

Wei Jin's expression relaxed, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Brother Yao."

"It seems your understanding of 'Ba' is still a little shallow."

He stroked his beard slowly, "Becoming a hegemon is not achieved through brute force, but rather -"

"momentum."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Xiangyuan had already reached the center of the lotus platform.

She raised her eyes slightly, her eyes were as cold as frost, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"Everyone."

The voice was neither fast nor slow, but like the sound of a cold spring hitting a rock, reaching everyone's ears clearly.

"Today, I, Wei Xiangyuan—"

"What I want to dominate is your eyes."

"What I want to dominate even more is your...hearts."

After she finished speaking, she flicked her wide sleeves, and the ice crystals in the sky condensed into a phoenix with spread wings. It let out a clear cry and circled up!

The whole place was excited!

Yao Guang's face was completely gloomy.

He turned to look at the judge he had bribed, only to see him slowly shaking his head.

Yao Yueer clenched her fists, digging her nails deep into her palms.

She stared at Wei Xiangyuan intently, jealousy in her eyes almost bursting out.

"Wei, Xiang, Yuan..."

"You wait!"
