Her appearance, body shape, and temperament seemed to be part of her aesthetic sense. No matter how one looked at her, there was no flaw to be found.
A little more would make one fat, a little less would make one thin; a little more would make one too long, a little less would make one too short; a little powder would make one too white, and a little vermillion would make one too red; eyebrows like green feathers, skin like snow; waist like a girdle, teeth like shells …
It was no wonder that he could become the Saint of Love and make countless women fall head over heels for him. With his appearance, considerate words, powerful strength, and gentle disposition, there was probably no woman who could reject him.
"Teacher, is this your original appearance?"
He could not help but communicate with the remnant thoughts in his mind.
Before Song Yu could reply, a calm voice suddenly echoed in the air. "The quality of this sculpture is limited. It doesn't even match up to a tenth of his appearance!"
Su Yin looked over. It was the teacher who had taught him the formation runes, the Formation Rune Saint, Zi Gong!
"Not even one-tenth?" Su Yin was stunned.
He was considered handsome, and he had a born Taoism aptitude. Every part of him was in line with the Great Way. After his flesh was tempered by the Qi of Holy Spirit, his skin and figure were far superior to ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not have been able to attract the admiration of Bai Yiyi and the others … Even so, he was far inferior to this stone statue.
To think that even a stone statue wouldn't be a tenth of the actual person … That's a little exaggerated!
"Back then, Song Yu was the most handsome man in the myriad of worlds. Anyone who saw his face, regardless of whether they were men or women, would go crazy over him. Who knows how many fans he had? It's just a stone statue. Only the face can be carved, but the charm is far too lacking …"
Zi Gong said.
Su Yin nodded.
Even though Song Yu's appearance had been ruined from the moment he met her, her disposition was indeed admirable. On the other hand, the feeling that this stone statue gave off was that of a coquettish woman, which was indeed lacking by quite a bit.
"Since Teacher is the most handsome man in the world, how did he become like this?" Su Yin was curious.
Even the remnant will was unable to revert back to its original form. How severe were its injuries? What had he gone through back then?
Zi Gong shook his head. "Beauties are easily envied by the heavens. Anything that goes too far is as bad as falling short. It's the same for saints."
"Yes!"
Nodding, Su Yin withdrew his consciousness from his Knowledge Sea and 'looked' at the stone statue again. Its appearance was still shocking, but compared to Teacher Song Yu's temperament, it was indeed much worse.
"That should be the leg bone!"
All of a sudden, Zhang Xuan's eyes fell on one of the legs of the sculpture. Even though it was as clear as jade, and there was no difference between the two, if one were to pay close attention to it, one would realize that it was more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. In other words... of the entire sculpture, only this leg possessed the disposition of Song Yu laoshi.
Moreover, it was only a part of his calf, only about three fingers long.
Looks like even though this Lady Luo Xue obtained a leg bone, it wasn't large, and it could only be considered to be a few ten percent of her entire body.
After communicating with the remnant will and discovering the leg bone, although it seemed like a long time had passed, in reality, it had only been ten breaths. Su Yin felt his mouth being pried open by the bowl once more, and medicinal liquid flowed down his throat.
He secretly tasted it with the tip of his tongue.
This time, it wasn't wine but medicinal herbs. After swallowing it down, he felt someone pressing down on his philtrum.
"Cough cough!" Coughing, Su Yin slowly opened his eyes and saw Granny Yao standing in front of him.
Seeing that he had woken up, the Willow Tree Spirit jumped up excitedly. Her ponytails kept swaying.
"You stole this from the Frigid Cloud Sect?" Granny Yao raised the pouch in her hand.
"Yes …" Su Yin nodded his head. "Lady Luo Xue asked me to retrieve it!"
"You're lying!" Granny Yao harrumphed coldly. "The palace master wouldn't covet the belongings of others, especially Fairy Hanyun. Who are you, and what's your motive for getting close to Little Liu? "
"Little Liu?" Su Yin was perplexed.
"I'm Little Liu!" The Willow Tree Spirit giggled.
Only then did Su Yin understand. "I don't have any other motive. I'll leave once I've recovered a little. However, you have to return this pouch to me …"
"Alright!" After hesitating for a moment, Granny Yao nodded her head and said, "I'll brew some medicine for you. Once you've recovered a little, you should leave! Otherwise, when the palace master returns, I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave even if you want to. "
"Thank you!"
Hearing those words, Su Yin knew that Granny Yao wasn't as cold as the rumors made her out to be. Thus, he heaved a sigh of relief and continued to feign his injuries. At the same time, he secretly observed how he could steal the leg bone without being noticed.
Without saying anything else, Granny Yao walked to the corner of the room and took out some medicinal herbs to concoct the medicine.
"I should make use of this opportunity …"
Su Yin's heart skipped a beat. "Hu!" Suddenly, a shout sounded from outside, "That willow spirit, hurry up and hand that person over. Otherwise, I'll destroy this palace …"
"Not good, that tortoise is here again …"
Hearing the voice, a hint of worry surfaced on Little Liu's delicate face. She glanced at Su Yin, and seeing that he was still unable to move, she consoled him, "Don't worry, since you were able to drive it away earlier, you'll surely be able to do the same this time."
After saying those words, she walked out of the room.
As soon as she walked out of the door, the Willow Tree Spirit's voice sounded once more, "I didn't think that you would be able to gather helpers. Let me see how strong they are!"
Following that, the air outside exploded one after another. The sound of surging Celestial Energy struck the ground, causing the entire palace to tremble non-stop.
"Hehe, burn that willow tree down for me …"
"I'm going to eat it!"
Two voices sounded, followed by Little Liu's anxious voice, seemingly unable to hold on any longer.
"No, I have to go out and take a look. This matter happened because of me. I can't let Little Liu get hurt because of me …"
Su Yin struggled to stand up, but his body slipped and fell once more, as if he had lost all strength in his body.
Seeing Zhang Xuan in such a state, Granny Yao hesitated for a moment before shaking her head, "I'll go take a look …"
"Thank you, Granny …" Su Yin hurriedly said.
"There's no need to thank me. To be honest, I'm still worried about you …" After saying those words, she didn't waste any time and sent a slap toward the back of Su Yin's neck.
Pah!
Su Yin's vision darkened, and he immediately fainted.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Granny Yao walked to the entrance of the palace and walked out with widened strides.
After leaving the palace, she saw that other than the tortoise, there was also a donkey and a parrot. While Donkey was slightly stronger, the parrot possessed the ability to breathe fire, and most of Little Liu's strength was suppressed. Thus, he was unable to exert any strength at all.
"Where did all these animals come from?"
Granny Yao was stunned.
She had never heard of the Frigid Cloud Sect raising immortal beasts before. Why would there be a tortoise and a donkey?
Did they open a zoo?
While she was watching the battle between Little Liu and the Three Beasts, Su Yin, who had been knocked out by Granny Yao, suddenly opened his eyes with a 'hu'.
His physical body was already comparable to a Half-Saint, so it would be difficult for Granny Yao to knock him out. She had only faked it for this very moment.
With a slight leap, Zhang Xuan walked up to the stone sculpture and reached out to touch the leg bone.
As soon as he came into contact with it, his entire body shuddered, and every single cell in his body felt fuller than before.
It was the same feeling as when he used Song Yu's hair, and it was even stronger than before. With this strength, he could easily bring out the strength of a Half-Saint pinnacle cultivator, making him even stronger than Han Luoxue and Fairy Hanyun.
"I mustn't use this strength …"
Knowing that he would lose control of his words if he used this strength, Su Yin didn't use it. Instead, he touched the leg of the stone sculpture and soon found the crack that was embedded into it.
Zhang Xuan placed his index finger and middle finger together and tapped lightly on it.
Kacha!
Song Yu laoshi's leg bone was taken out. It was as thick as a rolling pin and as long as three fingers. It felt like a jade seal, harnessing unimaginable strength.
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan kept the leg bone into his storage ring. At the same time, he took out a jade stone and carved it to match the leg bone that he had taken out. Then, he placed it in the jade stone.
It was a perfect fit, without a single flaw.
Su Yin had never learned formation inscriptions. Instead, he had first learned carving. Coupled with his painting and carving skills, there were few in the Celestial World who could surpass him. Putting aside the naked eye, even one's Spiritual Perception might not be able to detect the difference.
"If I remove the leg bone, the charm of the sculpture will disappear … Forget it, I'll just add it in! It'll serve as a memento for the other party. "
After doing all this, Zhang Xuan was just about to lie down and pretend to have fainted when the luster of the sculpture began to fade.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Yin took out his carving knife and began carving the sculpture a few more times.
Even though his carving knife was forged in the Dry Origin World, it was still a genuine Immortal artifact. It was easy for him to carve the jade stone.
Soon, he came to a halt. Even though he didn't alter much of the carvings, the overall disposition of the sculpture had undergone a drastic change. It was still a little different from Song Yu's, but it was already starting to resemble it.
Of course, this was an intrinsic disposition that could only be felt with one's heart.
After doing all this, Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief. He continued lying on the ground as he communicated with the Three Beasts outside.
"To think that you would have reinforcements! We aren't a match for you. Wait for me to bring reinforcements over … "
Knowing what Zhang Xuan was trying to say, the parrot shrieked, and flames burned a path through it before it turned around and flew away.
"This …" Granny Yao frowned.
She had just come out, and those three fellows had already fled before she had even participated in the battle. What the heck were they up to?
Granny Yao's face darkened, and she hurriedly returned to the palace. She saw that Su Yin was still lying on the ground, unconscious. She looked around, and there was nothing missing in the room. No one had snuck in, so she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Xiaoliu, let's return to the palace first. As long as the palace master returns, those rascals won't dare to cause trouble anymore!"
Liu Xiaoliu pouted in displeasure. "I'm not happy!"
After all, she had suffered a loss in the face of the Three Beasts.
"I'll make something delicious for you later!" Granny Yao said.
Liu Xiaoliu immediately broke into a smile, and saliva flowed out of her mouth.
Granny Yao returned to the room and woke Su Yin up once more. She fed him another bowl of medicine before waving her hand. "You can leave now!"
Su Yin knew that it was the antidote from before, so he pretended to recover his strength. He bowed and clasped his fist. "Thank you for saving my life …"
"This is your pouch. I don't care what your motive is, but I advise you not to give it to the palace master. Return it to the Frigid Cloud Sect as soon as possible!" Granny Yao shook her head.
The palace master was too tired from falling in love with that scumbag. Even she felt heartache for her, so she didn't want anyone to disturb her anymore.
"Yes!"
Understanding the other party's intentions, Su Yin didn't say anything else. He bade farewell to Liu Xiaoliu and walked out.
Even though he had successfully obtained the leg bone, he didn't feel happy at all. Even though he hadn't cheated the other party's feelings, he had still swindled the other party's trust.
This was especially so for Liu Xiaoliu. She was simply too naive. If she were to learn that he was just using her in the future … How sad would she be?
"I'm also trying to save her. If Song Yu laoshi can be revived, they should be overjoyed as well!"
The reason he was searching for the leg bone was to save Song Yu laoshi as well. This was probably Lady Luo Xue's wish as well. If he were to succeed, everything would be worth it.
In any case, it was better than swindling others' feelings!
"Do you feel uncomfortable swindling others?"
While Zhang Xuan was struggling internally, Song Yu's voice sounded in his head.
"Un!" Su Yin nodded his head. At the same time, he asked doubtfully, "Teacher, you … You have feelings for so many ladies. Don't you feel guilty?"
Song Yu asked, "Why should I?"
"If they hadn't met you, they would have had their own feelings. They would have had someone who loved and cherished them …"
Su Yin.
"You're wrong!"
Understanding Zhang Xuan's thoughts, Song Yu smiled. "If I didn't know them, wouldn't they have gone to find someone they loved?"
Su Yin shook his head. "Of course that's impossible!"
Regardless of whether it was Lady Luo Xue or Fairy Hanyun, given how beautiful and powerful they were, they must have had countless suitors when they were young. Even if they hadn't met Song Yu laoshi, it was impossible for them not to have found someone they loved.
Song Yu continued, "Then let me ask you again. Is there any man in the world who is more handsome, more understanding of women, and more gentle than me?"
Su Yin shook his head once more.
His teacher was known as the Saint of Love, the number one handsome man in the world. In the past ten thousand years, there was probably no one who could surpass him. Otherwise, there would have been a second Saint of Love by now.
"Since they have to experience feelings, why don't you let them fall in love with the most outstanding man? This way, their lives won't be in vain!"
Song Yu smiled.
Su Yin blinked his eyes. He wanted to refute Song Yu's words, but he felt that it made sense.
Even if he wasn't the one who caused the calamity, those ladies would still have to find a partner. Furthermore, the one they found would definitely be inferior to him … If that was the case, not only would he not be harming others, he would be saving them …
Song Yu was exasperated. "My good disciple, do you understand now?"
"But …"
"There are no buts. Look at Fairy Hanyun, isn't she happy? Isn't she happy to see me? "Song Yu continued.
"I'm happy!" Su Yin's face reddened.
"Then it's over! We're saving them, not lying! "
Song Yu's voice carried a hint of grandeur and radiance. "Alright, don't think too much. In the future, accompany me to save the beauties of this world. Let them come into contact with more outstanding and better cultivators!"
"Er … Okay!"
After a pause, Su Yin could only nod his head.
Hearing the conversation between the teacher and disciple, the remnant spirits looked at each other and facepalmed.
Damn, another lame one. As expected of the Saint of Love, his twisted reasoning could even make straight people become bent. Who knew how many beauties had fallen into his trap just like that, unable to extricate themselves.
Note 1: Taken from "Lecher Lustful Prose", author Song Yu, from the War Nation, Qu Yuan's student, one of the four most handsome men in China, on par with Pan An. The phrase "lecher" usually came from this essay.
