Chapter 648: 650, what a coincidence (first update)
Chu Jin, while enjoying the intoxicating peach aroma, looked towards the end of the highway.
What she saw was...
On the other side of the road, several men were carrying a sedan chair, heading in this direction.
In modern society, vehicles are the norm for transportation.
Sedan chairs rarely make an appearance.
It’s no wonder they attracted a crowd of onlookers.
In front of the sedan chair stood two young women in long dresses, each holding a bamboo basket. They were the ones scattering the flower petals.
Wafts of peach fragrance emanated from their bodies.
The real highlight, however, was the woman sitting on the sedan chair.
She was a very young woman.
Probably around eighteen or nineteen years old.
Dressed in a bright red dress, with a sheer veil covering her face, she sat lazily on the sedan chair, her hand lightly propping up her head as she looked down on the onlookers with indifference.
In her eyes, there was nothing but disdain.
To her, all these people were mere subjects beneath her feet.
Merely ants.
This person was none other than Mu Xianxian.
Following Zheng Chuyi, the unparalleled beauty of the Superpower World.
Now, with the Elder dead, and Zhao Yiling gone as well, Mu Xianxian was even more unrestrained.
Plus, Mo Zhixuan had returned.
More importantly,
Chu Jin was gone.
Before, Chu Jin had always been her rival, but now that Chu Jin was gone, she could rightfully be with Mo Zhixuan.
After all,
She was now the leading beauty of the Superpower World.
Apart from her,
Mo Zhixuan truly had no other choice.
Those other small fries...
Posed no real threat to her.
Except for that one!
That wretch always by Zhao Yan’s side!
Just thinking about it made a vicious light flash in Mu Xianxian’s eyes.
Just wait,
Sooner or later, that wretch would die by her hand!
To cater to Mo Zhixuan’s tastes,
She deliberately wore a vulgar red dress and added a mysterious touch by veiling her face.
What can’t be seen is always the most attractive.
She wanted to leave a mystique in front of these citizens of the Superpower World, to give them a sense of unattainability.
After all, she truly was unattainable.
Chu Jin, looking at the person on the sedan chair, suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu and asked Jian Yi, "Who is she?"
Jian Yi’s gaze shifted back, and his eyes regained calmness, "She is Mu Xianxian, the number one beauty of our Superpower World."
"Mu Xianxian?" Chu Jin slightly raised her eyebrows, why did she find that name so familiar?
But she couldn’t remember where she had seen this person before.
A puzzled look crossed Chu Jin’s eyes.
"What, do you know her?" Jian Yi looked down.
For some reason,
After seeing Chu Jin, Jian Yi didn’t feel the same amazement when looking at Mu Xianxian anymore.
It’s just that this beauty was too stunning,
Stealing the limelight from Mu Xianxian.
It seems, this pest must be dealt with!
She posed a serious threat to Mu Xianxian.
He could not let anyone threaten Mu Xianxian’s position.
"I don’t know her..." Chu Jin shook her head; she should not know her, right? She thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out who this person could be.
Jian Yi slightly frowned, his voice carrying a warning, "Don’t overthink it; the position of the number one beauty isn’t just about looks."
Chu Jin felt somewhat speechless.
This Jian Yi really was overly dramatic.
Could he possibly think she wanted to displace Mu Xianxian as the number one beauty?
It’s just a flashy title, after all.
She had no interest in it.
Besides, she didn’t find that so-called number one beauty all that breathtaking.
Too hyped.
"Thanks for the reminder," Chu Jin said with a slight smile, then added, "But I’m really not interested in that position."
"It’s good that you’re aware of your limitations," Jian Yi said, looking down, irritation flashing in his eyes.
He was so annoyed by this beauty! How dare she look down upon the position of the leading beauty, Mu Xianxian!
So brazen.
That was just too presumptuous.
Did she really think she was something special?
Mu Xianxian on the sedan chair, with a lowered gaze, coldly swept over the crowd below.
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous gleam.
She excitedly stood up from the sedan chair.
Why did that person’s profile resemble Chu Jin so much?
Wasn’t Chu Jin supposed to be dead?
Mu Xianxian looked again in that direction, but the familiar profile was no longer in the crowd.
She must have seen wrong.
Mu Xianxian reassured herself internally.
Chu Jin was dead, so how could she possibly come back to life?
She had only seen Chu Jin once, and her memory of Chu Jin’s face had long since blurred. Surely, that person just now wasn’t Chu Jin.
Or maybe it was that wretch.
With that thought, Mu Xianxian settled down and sat back in the sedan chair.
Meanwhile,
Chu Jin dashed toward the other side of the street.
Just moments ago,
She had seen a man with silver hair pass by her.
Seeing that white hair,
Chu Jin’s heart tore with pain, as if only by finding him could she soothe the wound.
But after chasing after him, she couldn’t find him anymore.
Chu Jin looked around blankly.
Was it just her imagination?
She was sure she had seen him.
The full head of white hair was very conspicuous in the crowd.
Just then, Jian Yi caught up to her, sounding somewhat displeased, "What are you running off to?"
At first,
Jian Yi thought Chu Jin had sneaked here to deliver intelligence to the Superpower World.
But after catching up, he realized Chu Jin had suddenly stopped here, not moving anymore.
It seemed likely she had spotted him and therefore halted her actions!
Such a cunning beauty!
"Sorry," Chu Jin faintly withdrew her gaze and continued, "I just thought I saw someone familiar."
Jian Yi had been suspicious of her all along, so Chu Jin didn’t plan to hide it from him.
"Someone familiar?" Jian Yi slightly narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of scrutiny, "Aren’t you supposed to have amnesia?"
The implication behind these words was that a person with amnesia should not be able to recognize anyone familiar.
Unless.
The amnesia was feigned.
Chu Jin smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "You might not believe it, but it was someone... from a dream."
Jian Yi: "..." Did he look like an utter fool?
Someone from a dream!
Haha.
Why didn’t she just say it was someone from the heavens?
"Let’s go," Jian Yi took his eyes off her and moved forward.
"Okay." Chu Jin lifted her foot to follow.
Little did she know.
Right behind her, that white-haired figure flashed by once again.
His silver hair shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight.
The corners of his mouth were slightly lifted.
His enchanting fox-like eyes squinted slightly as he watched the figures of Chu Jin and Jian Yi, a look of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Including that time in Capital City and on Poland Mountain.
This was the third time.
The third time he had encountered this beautiful little lady, truly a stroke of fate.
The smile on the man’s face became even more pronounced.
Chu Jin and Jian Yi were walking on the bustling streets.
The streets were crowded and lively.
Various vendors hawked their wares.
Candied haws, sugar figurines, cotton candy, sugar painting...
And an array of snacks.
In the past, all these could only be seen in dreams, but now she could finally experience them in reality, and this made everything look new to Chu Jin.
She touched this and looked at that.
Although Jian Yi found this beauty quite disagreeable, he still generously spent money to buy her many trinkets.
Of course, the prerequisite was that these trinkets weren’t really expensive.
Chu Jin might not be a good person, but she was still a girl, after all, and it wouldn’t be good for him to be too stingy.
Moreover, every time Chu Jin squinted her eyes and said "thank you" to him, he felt a very strange sense of satisfaction.
Thinking of this, the corners of Jian Yi’s mouth curved up unconsciously.
But it quickly returned to normal, maintaining an expression that said, "I’m not familiar with you."
How could he have a good impression of this beauty? This was an illness that needed to be cured!
He had to stay resolute and not let himself be bewitched by this beauty.
Jian Yi warned himself internally and then walked forward without a sidelong glance at Chu Jin again.
"Uncle, what are these you’re making?" Chu Jin stopped in front of a sugar figurine vendor, curiously looking at the various figurines laid out and reaching out to touch them.
A faint smile graced her lips, her dimples shallow and her exquisitely dainty peach blossom eyes glittering with light, captivating to the beholder.
Jian Yi tried his best to focus his attention on the figurines instead of her.
This beauty was like a poppy, exuding a fatal charm that unwittingly drew people in.
Like a siren, she wore an exquisitely beautiful shell but harbored a malicious heart.
"Sugar figurines, miss, would you like one?" The uncle looked up, and upon seeing Chu Jin’s face, a trace of astonishment flickered in his eyes.
This girl.
She was born truly beautiful.
Compared to that first beauty who plays at being mysterious, she is several times more beautiful.
People in the Superpower World all share one very common trait.
They appreciate beauty.
As long as you are good-looking, no matter what unforgivable things you’ve done, you can be forgiven.
Face
In the Superpower World, it really can be your meal ticket.
So, the uncle on the spot was filled with a good impression of Chu Jin.
"I’ll take one." Chu Jin nodded, curiosity sparkling in her eyes.
"Alrighty," the uncle quickly took a ball of dough and began to knead it in his hands, "Young lady, what shape would you like?"
"Uncle, can I have it made into any shape I want?" Chu Jin asked, with a bright shine in her eyes.
The uncle nodded with pride, "Of course, I’m not bragging, but be it anything that flies in the sky or runs on the ground, any shape at all, I can mold it for you."
Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Uncle, then could you mold a dough figure that looks exactly like me?"
"Certainly, three minutes." As he spoke, the uncle began to mold the dough.
The ball of dough shifted into various shapes in the uncle’s hands.
Soon, a dough figure took form.
Drawing the eyebrows, adding color.
In no time, an exquisite mini-version of Chu Jin was crafted from the dough.
"Wow, it’s beautiful," Chu Jin excitedly received the dough figure from the uncle’s hands, admiring this mini-version of herself, and praised him, "Uncle, your craftsmanship is amazing; you’ve made the dough figure so beautiful!"
"Oh, it’s nothing," the uncle said, a bit embarrassed by the compliment, "It’s all because you’re beautiful. By the way, you’re from out of town, aren’t you? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before."
People in the Superpower World always have a deep impression of beautiful people.
So, the uncle was certain he had never seen Chu Jin before.
Hearing the uncle’s words, Chu Jin’s eyes curved in a smile, "Uncle, great minds think alike, I also think I’m quite good-looking."
It was an incredibly narcissistic remark, but coming from her, it didn’t feel out of place at all.
As if that’s just how things should be.
The uncle was so amused by her that he burst into hearty laughter.
Jian Yi’s mouth twitched: "..." I’ve never seen someone so shameless! To actually praise their own looks!
How is that any different from a vendor praising their own melons?
When it was time to pay, the uncle even gave Chu Jin a discount because of her good looks.
A dough figure costing 108 yuan, he only charged 8 yuan.
Standing to the side, Jian Yi: "..." Uncle, are you getting senile? Aren’t you supposed to knock off that 8 yuan?
For the first time in his life, he realized that this is how people rounded down...
Chu Jin also understood the importance of money.
Without money, nothing could be done.
Therefore, she decided that from today on, she would be self-reliant.
She couldn’t depend on Jian Yi to get by.
After the two left.
The uncle who molded dough figures made several mini ’Chu Jins’ and placed them among a pile of dough figures.
This strategy really worked.
In no time, all the dough figures he molded were sold out.
The uncle watched as customers came and went, smiling so widely that his eyes squinted into slits.
Indeed.
Beauty could bring good luck.
Perhaps tired from walking, Jian Yi led Chu Jin to a simple tea stall and stopped.
After ordering two bowls of herbal tea, he went off to answer a phone call.
Chu Jin was left sitting there alone, with a pile of trinkets she had just bought on the table in front of her.
As Chu Jin sipped her tea, she observed her surroundings and pondered what she could do to make money.
After all, with money, you can travel anywhere.
