Chapter 544 The Most Beautiful Woman
"What my elder sister said is indeed an objective fact."
Fengxian, who had also suffered hardships, deeply agreed with Raven's words:
"It's not just the Heaven Dou Empire that's declining; the Star Luo Empire is declining as well."
"Slums are everywhere in the major cities of the Star Luo Empire, and the Star Luo Imperial City is no exception. In fact, the largest slum in the Star Luo Empire is located within Star Luo City."
"At present, the Star Luo Empire seems to be powerful, but it is also suffering from serious internal strife due to the brutal competitive environment. The common people are even worse off than those in the Heaven Dou Empire."
After hearing Feng Xian's words, the girls couldn't help but fall silent and sigh, and Zhu Zhuqing also seemed to be deep in thought.
As one of the candidates for the next head of the Zhu family of the Xingluo Grand Duke's Mansion, Zhu Zhuqing knows much more about the Xingluo Empire than Feng Xian does.
Although he often secluded himself to cultivate himself in order to compete with his sister Zhu Zhuyun for a chance to survive, he was, after all, a candidate for the head of the family who was being groomed as the family heir.
Zhu Zhuqing was fairly clear about the basic national conditions of the Star Luo Empire, but she hadn't paid much attention to it before.
Hearing Feng Xian mention the current state of the Star Luo Empire, it was inevitable that he would feel a little emotional.
However, she didn't really like discussing these serious-sounding matters, so she didn't offer any opinions on the Star Luo Empire issue.
The other innocent girls exclaimed in surprise but then fell silent, only Raven continued Feng Xian's words:
"The existence of slums in Xingluo City, just like in Tiandou City, is to be expected and not surprising."
"After all, these two empires are essentially collectives representing the interests of the nobility. The exploitation of commoners is inevitable, which naturally gives rise to places like slums."
At this point, a slight smile appeared on Raven's beautiful and spirited face:
"Speaking of which, our Wuhun City should be considered one of the few cities in the entire Douluo Continent that does not have slums."
"In this respect, neither the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial city, Heaven Dou City, nor the Star Luo Empire's imperial city, Star Luo City, can compare to Spirit City."
"Of course, we can't simply compare our Martial Soul City with Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City."
"After all, Spirit City is quite special. It is a city of spirit masters, and its residents are spirit masters who belong to the Spirit Hall and whose strength is at the level of Great Spirit Master or above, as well as their families."
"In the Spirit Hall, whether they are Spirit Masters or ordinary people, everyone who belongs to the Spirit Hall can receive a stipend corresponding to their position, so everyone's life is quite good."
"Most importantly, our Spirit Hall does not value birth; everything is based on strength and talent."
"As long as you have the ability, whether you are a noble or a commoner, you can be given a position in the Spirit Hall that matches your ability. Naturally, there will be no phenomenon like the two great empires where nobles oppress and exploit commoners. Therefore, there will be no poor people and no slums."
Raven's words were unanimously agreed upon by many of her sisters.
In the years since they joined the Spirit Hall, they have carried out many missions outside. Apart from the headquarters, Spirit City, there has never been any sign of the emergence of slums in the areas controlled by the other branches of the Spirit Hall.
Moreover, due to the existence of the Pan-Continental Business Alliance, the branch halls of the Spirit Hall, located in major cities, towns, and villages, even have the capacity to radiate to the surrounding areas and improve the living standards of the local people.
It can be said that, in terms of improving people's living standards, the Spirit Hall took almost the exact opposite path to the two great empires, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
After Raven finished speaking, the group of girlfriends fell silent. At this moment, it was Jin Yue'er, the most outgoing of them all, who broke the silence.
She seemed to remember something, looked at Raven, and suddenly asked:
"By the way, Big Sister, you just said you were taken out of the slums by Brother Shengzi and a sister named Xue'er. Who is this Sister Xue'er?"
These words immediately attracted the attention of all the girls present.
"Sister Xue'er!"
Upon hearing Jin Yue'er's question, Ruiwen paused for a moment. Her turquoise skin momentarily lost in thought, and a nostalgic smile suddenly appeared on her usually beautiful, cool, and spirited face.
"That's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life."
"Huh? The most beautiful girl in the world?"
Upon hearing this, all the sisters widened their eyes in surprise, their expressions becoming quite varied, ranging from suspicion and astonishment to disbelief and utter astonishment.
But the eldest sister, Rachel, has always been the most trusted by everyone, and she would never speak carelessly.
"Is she prettier than the Pope?"
The person who asked this question was somewhat unexpected; it was actually Xiao Mingyue, who was usually the quietest.
She tightened her grip on the teddy bear, held her head high, and let her two ponytails hang from her head, swaying like red flames. Her dark red eyes were fixed on Raven, seemingly very interested in the "Sister Xue'er" that Raven had mentioned.
In Xiao Mingyue's heart, she believed that Pope Bibi Dong was the most beautiful woman in the world, and the most compatible and well-matched woman with Ye Gege.
This idea had been deeply rooted in her mind ever since she first met her sister, the Pope, in the Papal Palace.
Upon hearing Raven mention that Sister Xue'er was the most beautiful girl in the world, Xiao Mingyue suddenly became interested.
When faced with Xiao Mingyue's question, Raven did not delay, but she did not answer immediately. Instead, she pondered it carefully.
Actually, Xiao Mingyue is a bit older than her. Originally, the position of the team's eldest sister should have belonged to Xiao Mingyue, but because of Xiao Mingyue's height, appearance, and personality, she was not suitable to be the eldest sister, so in the end, the title fell to her.
After a moment's thought, Raven came to her senses, glanced around at her friends whose beautiful eyes were all wide with curiosity, and then, resting her hand on her fair chin, answered seriously:
"With Xue'er's looks and temperament, it's impossible to say she surpasses the Pope, but it's fair to say she's on par with her. Well, we can only say they each have their own merits."
"In short, both Sister Xue'er and Sister Pope can be called the most beautiful women in the world."
"Sister Xue'er's beauty is beyond doubt. In my opinion, she's even prettier than all of us here. You'll see when you meet her. Just don't be too surprised."
Hearing Raven say this, the girls became even more curious.
Every single girl present was naturally beautiful, a true beauty among beauties, and each of them was very confident in her looks.
Just then, Raven said that Sister Xue'er was actually a beauty on par with the Pope, even prettier than everyone else present. How could the girls not be curious?
After all, the desire to compare oneself with others is a woman's nature, especially for beautiful women, and of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
A glint of light flashed in Jin Yue'er's eyes as she voiced everyone's curiosity:
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly want to meet Sister Xue'er."
Raven smiled slightly and said:
There will be an opportunity.
Jin Yue'er immediately asked again:
"By the way, Big Sister, that Sister Xue'er should still be in Heaven Dou City, right? Do you know where she lives?"
"Let's find some time to visit her together."
But Raven slowly shook her head:
"I don't know where Sister Xue'er lives either."
Jin Yue'er was taken aback:
"what?"
Raven immediately explained:
"Brother Ye said that Sister Xue'er's identity is rather special, so please don't spread rumors about her. Information about Sister Xue'er is only for us sisters to know, understand?"
Jin Yue'er immediately patted her well-developed chest and solemnly assured everyone:
"Don't worry, we're very tight-lipped."
…………
"Are those girls the members of the team you formed to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament?"
After the invitation was settled, Qian Renxue glanced at the carriage behind Ye Qifeng and saw seven little heads peeking out of the carriage window. She subconsciously asked a question, her tone carrying a hint of undisguised amusement.
At this moment, the girls in the carriage are talking excitedly.
Hearing their words, Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile beautifully, even under the disguise of her Angelic Divine Armor Soul Bone Skill.
Her powerful mental abilities allowed her to hear the conversations between the girls, especially when she heard Raven mention her and her mother and sister Bibi Dong as the most beautiful women in the world.
Qian Renxue was overjoyed, practically bursting with happiness.
"Hmm." Ye Qifeng also heard the girls' conversation in the carriage and sensed the happiness in Qian Renxue's tone. He smiled slightly and nodded, "How was it? Not bad, right?"
"It's really good."
Qian Renxue slightly suppressed her smile, nodded gently, and commented earnestly during their mental communication:
"Everyone here is very talented and strong. There are four Soul Kings above level 50, and the other three are just one step away from the Soul King realm."
To be honest, Qian Renxue was also startled when she first sensed the soul power of the seven girls and learned their strength levels.
The main problem is that Ye Qifeng's team is just too strong. It's like they're cheating. They can practically sweep through all the advanced soul master academy teams in the Heaven Dou Empire.
It seems the upcoming Elite Soul Master Tournament is going to be quite a show.
Ye Qifeng chuckled immediately:
"It's alright. They were all quite talented to begin with, and with the help of high-quality medicinal herbs to improve their physique and enhance their talents, it's quite normal for them to have their current strength."
"You're quite generous, giving away such rare and precious medicinal herbs so readily."
Qian Renxue glanced at Ye Qifeng with surprise, but for some reason, her tone suddenly became somewhat profound:
"Those girls don't seem to be very old, do they?"
Ye Qifeng keenly sensed the change in Qian Renxue's tone, glanced at her with slight surprise, but couldn't see the expression on her face beneath the angelic disguise. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the truth:
"They were all under fifteen years old. Except for the girl with long light purple hair tied in two small ponytails, who was thirteen, the others were all fourteen."
"Oh? Only thirteen or fourteen years old, they're all so young."
Qian Renxue said with a hint of emotion, but then she suddenly changed the subject:
"However, I have a question for you."
"Leaving aside Raven, why are all the others girls, and all of them good-looking and unique? Do you have some kind of weird collecting fetish?"
As she spoke, Qian Renxue glanced sideways at Ye Qifeng, her eyes filled with suspicion.
"Pfft—what did you say? Collector's obsession? I don't have any collector's obsession."
Ye Qifeng almost couldn't catch his breath.
His original intention was simply to give Qian Renxue a brief introduction to the girls who mentioned Raven, but he never expected that she would misunderstand him as having a collecting fetish.
"Really not?"
Qian Renxue still seemed somewhat skeptical.
"Of course not."
Ye Qifeng spoke with righteous indignation.
Just then, Qian Renxue suddenly chuckled during their telepathic communication:
"Pfft—okay, I was just kidding. Those girls are pretty interesting. Remember to introduce them to me sometime."
Ye Qifeng was speechless.
In fact, Qian Renxue already knew about the backgrounds of the other girls besides Raven.
Even if she didn't actively inquire, her shameless grandfather, Qian Daoliu, would send her a message, subtly urging her on, with the central message being nothing more than one thing—
Xue'er, look how many more outstanding girls are around Ye Qifeng. You'd better hurry up, or it will be too late.
…………
Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue held hands, each doing their own thing. On the surface, they exchanged polite compliments, but in reality, they were having a private mental exchange.
But some people nearby couldn't wait any longer.
An old and hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the air, interrupting the two's "exchanging glances".
"Ahem, Your Highness, it's getting late. Wouldn't it be best if His Highness the Holy Son went into the city to settle down and rest as soon as possible? What do you think?"
Salas had been waiting for a long time, but the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was still holding the hand of the Holy Son Ye Qifeng. Growing impatient, he finally couldn't help but speak up to remind him.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe seemed to only just realize what was happening, and apologized to himself:
"Ah, yes, yes, it's my fault. Your Highness has come from afar, and you must be exhausted and in dire need of rest."
"If Bishop Salas hadn't reminded me, I would have completely forgotten about this. Ahaha, sorry, sorry—"
After saying that, he reluctantly released Ye Qifeng's warm hand, and as he withdrew his hand, he said gently to Ye Qifeng:
"I originally intended to invite His Highness the Holy Son to live in the palace with me so we could have a heart-to-heart talk, but it seems that Bishop Salas has already made some arrangements. In that case, I will not take the liberty of making such a decision."
"Once His Highness has rested properly, the Crown Prince of Japan will come to bother you again another day."
