Lu Qingqing heard Huang Ling'er say that and she became unhappy too. We three are all part of the same group. If someone slanders one of us, it's like slandering all three of us. This is unacceptable and absolutely cannot be tolerated. We must retaliate! She immediately said: What Huang Ling'er and Gong Gui Zhen said is definitely true; there's not a bit of deceit in it, so she is not at fault either. It's your own issue if you dare not admit it, but you have no right to look down upon us. Your husband, you think he is the best, which we can understand since in a lover's eyes, their beloved is the most beautiful. Everyone thinks their husband is the best, so we won't argue about that with you. But you cannot look down upon us like this; we haven't offended you or caused any trouble for you. Even if it's about our husband, it doesn't have much to do with you. Whether he and we are suitable or whether there is a destiny between them is our business and has nothing to do with you. Whether we want to become his companion depends on us, not on you. Even if your husband decides whether he wants to accept us depends on him, not on you. So, recognize the situation and clear your own position!
Ding Ahui laughed uncontrollably, "Huang Ling'er, don't you think we are very familiar with each other? But now you don't want to admit the gap between us. Do you find it interesting? Can't you see that everyone else can clearly see that our appearance isn't inferior to yours? Second, when it comes to intelligence and wisdom, none of us three can compare with you in terms of playing the musical instruments, painting, and calligraphy. We are all very skilled in these areas and can hold our own in both formal and informal settings. Can you do that?" Thirdly, when it comes to actual ability, we three are not inferior to you. You have admitted this countless times through numerous competitions where you have never been able to beat us. I just can't understand where your confidence comes from. Why do you look down on us three? Don't you think it is incredibly foolish and laughable for someone to act superior? People should be honest and face reality without having a sense of superiority. Such arrogance is detrimental to oneself. Haven't you heard that modesty leads to progress while pride leads to decline? The only way forward is with a humble heart."
Huang Ling'er, realizing that she couldn't argue against the three of them on her own, looked helplessly at Mo Wenjie. Her eyes conveyed a plea for help, hoping that Mo Wenjie could speak up on her behalf.
Mo Wenjie saw the beseeching look in Huang Ling'er's eyes and couldn't just ignore it. So he spoke up on her side, saying: "You three are a bit over the line with your comments. No matter how good or bad Huang Ling'er is, she will be my future wife. So, to speak about her like this is to slap my face. How excellent you all may be, that has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with Huang Ling'er either. But when you mistreat her, that does concern me. As her fiancé, I must step in now and uphold justice. You three are undoubtedly very accomplished, there's no doubt about that. If you weren't excellent, you wouldn't have the confidence you do. From the confidence you exude, it's clear that you are very accomplished. I don't want to argue about who is more excellent or less so because it's a rather childish question. When you talk about appearance, it can be changed; power can be improved; intelligence... well, let's not even talk about it since using your brain often naturally makes one's mind sharper and intelligence higher. So in my opinion, these are not advantages but rather things that anyone can achieve through effort. What is the real advantage then?"
Advantage is something that lies at a deeper level. It is a person's innate perception, reaction, and behavior towards the world. The meaning of advantage is to be in a more favorable position, to flatterer the one in a relatively favorable position or environment, or to outperform others in certain aspects. What are considered advantages today may be replaced by future strategies. Advantage can only be a powerful internal factor or feature for an organization or individual to achieve strategic priority and effective competition, thus achieving their goals. Persistent and hard work, accumulating and then releasing, are all advantages. As long as you persistently work hard in a certain field and no one can surpass you, then you will always have an advantage! In your eyes, the so-called advantage seems nothing to me because it can easily be surpassed. You might doubt my words and my strength, but I don't intend to argue with you. I will let facts speak for themselves as to what constitutes an advantage and whether I have the strength. You will understand later that what I am saying now is too early. Your arrogant capital that you think you have now will be revealed to you later! You may think that your appearance is more attractive than Huang Ling'er's, but let me show you the gap between you two right now! Here is a beauty-maintaining pill that can make people who take it young and beautiful forever. Will it really work? You will find out soon! Mo Wenjie gave Huang Ling'er a beauty-maintaining pill right now, so please take it. What effect will it have on you? You will know soon enough without me saying too much!
The crowd listened to Mo Wenjie's words and looked at him with a suspicious attitude. Is the beauty-maintaining pill he mentioned really as magical as he says? If it is truly as magical as he describes, wouldn't it be swarmed by women? But we haven't heard of any such elixir, nor has anyone ever sold such an elixir. If there really is such an elixir, can we not buy it? We absolutely will not buy it. But no one has sold it before, nor have we heard of anything like this. It's not right that we must see if his effect is really the same as what he says. If it is indeed as he claims to be effective, then we absolutely will not let go of it, no matter how much money is required to purchase!
Huang Ling'er took the beauty-maintaining pill and swallowed it immediately, not because she had absolute faith in Mo Wenjie's beauty-maintaining pill, but rather because she was partly taking a gamble out of frustration. If she could be prettier than the three of them, even if there was a chance it wouldn't work, she was willing to take that risk. In any case, she absolutely did not want to lose to them. Therefore, without hesitation, she took the beauty-maintaining pill. As she suspected that the beauty-maintaining pill had no effect at all, she suddenly felt sticky all over and a bad smell that made her very uncomfortable. She couldn't stand it any longer and immediately ran to her mother's bedroom to rinse off.
The crowd did indeed smell the unpleasant smell, but they didn't really think much of it. They wouldn't have guessed what caused it. All they knew was that there seemed to be some sort of fishy smell coming from Huang Ling'er. It could be for some reason or another, but no one paid much attention to it. However, even though they didn't pay much attention to it, they couldn't help but feel like they wanted to laugh at Mo Wenjie. You said the beauty-maintaining pill had amazing effects, huh? It seems like it really isn't very good after all. Huang Ling'er took the pill and had no change in appearance, and even worse, a fishy smell came from her body. Is this really the effect of the beauty-maintaining pill? It's just too funny!
Just as they were discussing it, Huang Ling'er came out from inside. When the crowd saw Huang Ling'er for the first time, they were all stunned. How could this be? Is this still Huang Ling'er? She looks so beautiful, it's really hard to imagine. This is too discouraging! Huang Ling'er has undergone a complete transformation. It's truly unexpected! It seems that this beauty-maintaining pill is indeed a miracle cure! No matter what the cost, I must buy at least one beauty-maintaining pill! It's definitely worth it!
This wasn't just the case with Ding Ahui, Lu Qingqing, and Gong GuiZhen. Even Xu Wenjuan, Ye Hongxia, Jiang Mengmiao, Bai Meier, and Su Yanran held similar thoughts. Their eyes gleamed with greed as they looked at Mo Wenjie. It was truly amazing. His abilities exceeded our expectations time and time again, leaving us all in awe!
Huang Ling'er ran over to Mo Wenjie with great joy, shaking her arms as she held onto his arm. "Thank you, my husband, for making me so beautiful. Your beauty-maintaining pill is really amazing. If we could make endless money just by selling this beauty-maintaining pill!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Huang Ling'er and said, "That's not enough for you. Your starting point is so low. I'm telling you, in the future, you will be the most beautiful and attractive person in the entire heaven. Your strength will be the strongest among all the girls. Even with advanced breakthrough pills, you should not take them now. Instead, focus on improving your cultivation. When you catch up to them in strength, they will have no advantages over you. As for intelligence, don't even think about it. I will give you a pill to greatly improve your cultivation at a later time. It will make your cultivation far surpass theirs and make them look up at you!"
Xu Wenjuan watched her daughter with excitement and waved her hand, saying that Huang Ling'er should not take the advanced breakthrough pill at this moment. Their mothers knew that the effect of the breakthrough pill was significant, as they had also consumed it themselves. Therefore, there was no need for Huang Ling'er to prove anything to them. Her strength would naturally outshine theirs. The most important thing now was to swiftly persuade Mo Wenjie to create a pill that would boost her intellect. This way, no one in the first heaven would dare look down upon her anymore. Other considerations were irrelevant; what mattered was to quickly have Mo Wenjie create the elixir for her!
Huang Ling'er nodded. "Mother, don't worry. I'll go right back and persuade Wenjie to help me make the elixir!"
The three women, Yipengxia, Jiang Mengyao, and Baimaying, looked at their own daughters with frustrated eyes. Their daughters felt a bit scared by their mothers' expressions that were like iron bars!
Yipengxia said, "Now do you understand our situation? Do you know how powerful Mo Wenjie is now? Each of you has a high opinion of yourselves, right? Mo Wenjie is such a talented person. It's not just that he's talented. He's so outstanding that he can only be described as a demon prodigy in the first heaven. What are we supposed to say about this?"
Xu Wenjuan looked at Mo Wenjie with satisfaction and then said, "Ling'er, when do you plan to set the date for your engagement?"
Huang Ling'er smiled and said, "Why wait for another day when today is just as good? What do you think, Wenjie?"
