Chapter 923: Ugly to the Extreme
Jiang Yantian's words were forceful and resounding.
The Ice Soul Emperor nodded emphatically.
"I obey the Demon Emperor's command!"
This is the best possible outcome for the Holy Lord Jilin.
Whether His Majesty the Demon Emperor was just being playful or genuinely wanted to prank the other party, it didn't matter.
It's all good.
If it is truly a fit of rage, then the Supreme Saint King of Extreme Rin will undoubtedly die.
The entire Zhang Xuefeng area will be doomed.
No one survived.
Upon receiving the order, the Ice Soul Emperor immediately went to the Frozen Island to select a man.
It's incredibly ugly.
This one is easy.
Find someone who is fat, has big ears, and is a bit slovenly.
Give him resources, change his name to Ren Ning, and marry him off to Helian Yuan.
You have to have it even if you don't want it.
This is a marriage alliance!
Ice Soul Emperor left, but Xuan Mo was still at the scene.
He has no connection with the Holy Lord Jilin.
But he dared not offer any other opinions on matters decided by his lord.
They just stood there silently.
"Xuanmo, once the wedding here is over, you can get busy. Gather your old subordinates as quickly as possible!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yantian tossed it aside.
A token appeared before Xuan Mo's eyes.
It carries the aura of Jiang Yantian.
Absolute proof of identity.
"Your subordinate will obey the Demon Emperor's command!"
"Alright, you may leave now. I'll stay with my wife for a while..."
Xuanmo raised his hand in a gesture of respect and slowly stepped back.
It disappeared in an instant.
Only Jiang Yantian and Leng Ning remained.
"Husband, shall we go back? Or shall we stroll around here a bit more?"
"Ling'er and the others are still at their residence."
Lopiling and the others are still resting at their residence.
"It's alright, come for a walk with your husband!" Jiang Yantian smiled slightly and put his arm around her waist.
Leng Ning leaned against him, her face full of a happy and content smile.
......
And the other side.
The Ice Soul Emperor summoned a great many male cultivators.
His eyes swept over the thousands of disciples of the Frost Island.
His voice was like shattered ice striking each other, carrying an undeniable majesty: "I have summoned all my disciples today for only one matter!"
Those people listened very attentively.
The Ice Soul Emperor slowly said, "This matter is about finding the ugliest person on the island."
"!!!"
The area below fell into complete silence!
Thousands of monks looked at each other in bewilderment.
I have absolutely no idea why.
The ugliest person?
What does the island owner mean by this?!
Men are considered to be brave and masculine.
When is it necessary to "choose the ugly one"?
Is it a new trial? Or some kind of strange ritual?
"Island Lord!" A burly man covered in scars stepped forward from the crowd.
Get down on one knee.
His voice boomed like a bell: "This disciple is willing to serve the island lord, but I do not know what the criteria are for selecting the ugliest."
"I think I'm ugly, extremely ugly. Most fellow cultivators who look at me for too long say they feel like vomiting!"
The Ice Soul Emperor glanced at him indifferently.
Despite his ferocious appearance and numerous scars, he exuded an aura of iron will.
It's ugly, but not "extremely ugly".
At most, it's considered ugly.
He raised his arm slightly, and a beam of icy blue divine light suddenly shot into the air.
In an instant, a row of large characters condensed in the sky: "Body like a fat pig, crooked mouth and slanted eyes, broken nose and collapsed forehead, skin like a toad, shape like a hunchbacked ghost."
"This is the standard!"
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped!
This isn't choosing ugliness; it's choosing demons crawling out of hell!
Although the Arctic Island is located in the far north, no one takes pride in having a "crooked mouth and slanted eyes, or skin like a toad"!
In an instant, thousands of men lowered their heads, fearing that being chosen by the Emperor would be such a disgraceful "honor."
Upon seeing this, the Ice Soul Emperor frowned slightly, and his voice suddenly turned stern: "Those who meet the requirements, step forward within three breaths!"
"Otherwise, it will be considered disobedience, your cultivation will be abolished, and you will be expelled from the Frost Island!"
"one!"
"two!"
Before he finished speaking, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind the crowd.
A figure emerged, hunched over and limping.
Everyone looked closely and saw a pig standing up.
The pig is standing upright!
This person's left eye is crooked, almost reaching the tip of his eyebrow.
His right eye was sunken, leaving only a black hole.
His nose was broken and crooked to one side, revealing yellow and black teeth.
His face was covered with bumps the size of walnuts, like the skin of a toad.
Her figure was also extremely bloated.
He was short and stocky, with his left leg being three inches shorter than his right.
Walking was like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it might fall apart at any moment.
"My God...whose monster is this?!"
"It seems to be Shi Chou, the woodcutter from the back mountain? I heard that his parents threw him into an ice cellar after he was born, and it's a miracle that he survived!"
"This...this is absolutely hideous!"
“yue...”
Amid the murmurs, Shi Chou knelt on the ground, trembling, burying his head even deeper, almost as if he were trying to burrow into the ice.
He knew he was ugly and had been called a "monster" since he was a child.
But I never imagined that one day my "ugliness" would be personally pointed out by the Emperor.
The Ice Soul Emperor's gaze fell on Shi Chou, and a ripple finally appeared in his eyes.
It's really ugly.
However, the Ice Soul Emperor will still respect the other party's wishes.
"what's your name?"
Shi Chou lowered his head, feeling extremely inferior, as if afraid of being seen.
"Reporting to the island lord, your disciple is Shi Chou, Shi as in stone and Chou as in ugly monster."
"Currently... I'm a woodcutter/general laborer..."
The Ice Soul Emperor nodded: "Although your appearance is ugly, it is not what you wanted. In the past, you must have been subjected to some ridicule and mockery."
"Now, you have a chance to soar to great heights, but this opportunity comes with stringent conditions."
"Currently, you possess one of the most important conditions, and the other condition is... that you can marry a man!"
"???"
Everyone was utterly shocked by these words.
unbelievable!
Shi Chou, on the other hand, did not show much emotional fluctuation.
It seems like I've become numb to everything.
"If the island lord needs it, Shi Chou will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"If it weren't for the island lord's intervention, Shi Chou would have been annihilated long ago. I will never forget the island lord's kindness in saving me!"
He was very determined.
Hearing this, some of those who had previously mocked Shi Chou felt ashamed.
He was like a ghost, the lowest-ranking servant, spending his days chopping wood in the back mountains.
People passing by only had one impression of him: ugly, but they couldn't remember that there was such a person.
"Good!" The Ice Soul Emperor nodded: "Although you have flaws, this time, I can guarantee that you will surpass everyone present."
"As for the reason, we'll find out soon!"
"I'll ask you one last time, are you really willing to marry a man?"
The Immortal Demon Emperor served as the officiant, an unparalleled honor.
Even the most powerful demons in the Demon Realm would look at this guy with great respect if he went there.
Shi Chou trembled and looked up at the Ice Soul Emperor.
Looking at her ugly hands, tears welled up instantly.
He had never been "seen" so seriously in his entire life.
"I...I do!"
He answered with a choked voice, hoarse and unpleasant, yet carrying a resolute determination.
The Ice Soul Emperor nodded, raised his hand, and a beam of light swept up Shi Chou: "Come with me."
With a flash, the two disappeared into the depths of the ice palace.
The thousands of disciples from the Frost Island looked at each other in bewilderment.
Looking in the direction where Shi Chou disappeared, his eyes held a complex expression.
There was relief, there was envy, and there was also a new understanding of "ugliness".
It turns out that being extremely ugly can lead to instant success.
