It's terrifying…
Chi Xiu stared at the male and female Soul Masters before him, their eyes fixed on him with predatory glints.
The sight sent chills down Chi Xiu's spine.
Yu Tianxin stood out in the crowd. He lifted his mask, revealing half his face, and sat down, munching on a chicken leg while smiling at Chi Xiu, his eyes filled with schadenfreude.
Yu Tianxin knew that even if he cultivated for another ten or twenty years, he might not be able to defeat 0000. After seeing 0000's Soul Ring configuration, he was even more certain of this fact.
But if he could see 0000 humiliated during the voting process, that would be incredibly satisfying!
He was sure he wasn't the only one who wanted to remove 0000's mask, judging by the eagerness of the people around him.
…
This was a dead end.
Chi Xiu gradually analyzed the entire situation from beginning to end.
He had previously suspected that there would be a dramatic twist at the matchmaking event, and now it had actually happened.
He had been worried that attracting too much hatred would negatively impact his public image.
But now it seemed…
whether everyone hated him or everyone liked him, the outcome was exactly the same.
Everyone wanted to see him remove his mask!
Everyone was curious about his appearance!
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and this time it hit the bullseye.
Chi Xiu suddenly lost his appetite.
For six years, his true appearance had never been shown outside of his bedroom. Did he really have to remove his mask in public tomorrow?
Of course, he could discreetly remove both the meteorite mask and the golden mask, so no one would associate his face with the identity of Chi Xiu.
After putting the meteorite mask back on, he could return to normal life; no one would know that the 0000 who shone brightly at the masked matchmaking event was Chi Xiu!
But after six years of maintaining this habit, showing his true appearance in front of so many people for the first time felt strange.
Chi Xiu touched the mask on his face, feeling a momentarily dazed, the image of him wielding a hammer to make masks at the Forging Association still vivid in his mind.
Time flies so fast.
"0000, guess who I'll give this bouquet of roses to?"
The roses swayed between Qian Renxue's slender, white fingers as she teased Chi Xiu.
"Give them to me. To be honest, there aren't many roses I want to receive at this social gathering, and yours is one of them."
Chi Xiu said with a smile, his feelings for Qian Renxue genuine.
Qian Renxue sat up straight, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
She was overjoyed.
"Then... can I have yours too?"
"Do you like them? Of course."
...
After nightfall.
Everyone parted ways and headed towards the surrounding buildings.
Chi Xiu arrived at his room door, number 0000, the first room out of more than four thousand.
Once inside, anyone could only leave once, a rule set to prevent malicious interference with the voting results.
Chi Xiu, as number 0000, was the first to be called.
Holding a vibrant red rose, he walked towards room 0030, followed by a soldier.
The first rose of the entire vote was successfully delivered!
Back in his room, Chi Xiu stretched and lay on the bed, but soon he noticed footsteps at the door.
Good grief, the second person voted for him!
This efficiency… Chi Xiu couldn't help but complain.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
"0000, I've come to bring you a rose."
"Who are you?"
"I have a pair of invisible butterfly wings."
Chi Xiu was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and replied, "It's you. How many bouquets do you have at your door?"
"Just one, but I put it away."
Put it away... If Qian Renxue used her power, the soldiers following her probably couldn't do anything about it.
"But you, you already have twenty bouquets at your door."
Upon hearing this, Chi Xiu's face instantly darkened.
It's only the 30th, and he's already received twenty bouquets?!
...
On the other side.
In the vast, deserted palace hall, Bibi Dong put down her diamond-encrusted scepter and sat down directly on the highest step, her long, gorgeous skirt covering the steps below.
At this moment, she didn't resemble the Pope of the Spirit Hall at all; her usual noble and aloof temperament was nowhere to be found. Only the eager joy of a young girl in love remained on her beautiful face.
Bibi Dong couldn't wait to open the letters in the basket.
The love words written by these boys were incredibly varied. Bibi Dong's expression was sometimes strange, and sometimes she couldn't help but laugh, amused by them.
If the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall were to witness this scene, they would surely rub their eyes and think they had mistaken someone for someone else.
Time ticked by, and a pile of selected letters gradually filled the space beside them.
The sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath and turned to look at the last blank sheet of paper in the basket. She
stared blankly for a long time.
The light in her eyes gradually dimmed, but she still placed her hopes on this last letter,
even though the hope was slim.
"0000? I only just realized they were arranged by number..."
Bibi Dong picked up the letter, looking at the number on it, and muttered to herself.
Opening it, she saw several lines of clear handwriting.
Upon seeing the first line, her expression changed.
It was as if that child was speaking again in his innocent voice:
"Why don't you smile?"
"Beauty is your asset, smiling is your right. You look so beautiful when you smile, of course you should smile often."
"It's not like I can be this happy every day..."
The thin letter slipped from Bibi Dong's hand onto the steps, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she gazed out the window.
"Number 0000..."
...
In a daze, a beam of light shone in from the window.
Chi Xiu looked up; it was already dawn.
He sprang up in bed, stretched his back a few times, and shook his aching neck before heading towards the door.
But as soon as he opened it, a wave of red roses burst through the doorway, completely engulfing Chi Xiu.
He sat staring at the center of the roses, stunned for a long time before recovering.
Holy crap... these bastards, they're serious!
Just as dawn broke, the soldiers had tallied the number of roses outside each room and reported it.
The young Soul Masters emerged from their rooms one after another.
Qian Renxue stretched at her doorway, then turned to look at Chi Xiu, whose disheveled appearance as he squeezed his way out made her burst out laughing.
"You really received a lot of roses!"
"I'm really not that good-looking!"
Chi Xiu shouted helplessly, attracting many nearby Soul Masters who were there purely for the spectacle. They'd see what he looked like soon enough; they were just waiting for the show. The
Soul Masters began to gather in groups towards the plaza. At this moment, Tang San and his companions quietly broke away from the group and headed in another direction.
"Did you all understand the plan we discussed yesterday? This is our last chance; success or failure hinges on this."
He looked at Ma Hongjun and the other two with a solemn expression.
