Chapter 90: The Ten Most Beautiful Girls on Campus

Morning had come, and the third avenue of Blue Emperor Academy was bustling with activity. The density of male students was unusually high, their faces filled with awe and amazement. The reason for their astonishment was, of course, a beautiful woman—most men were captivated by beauty.

Indeed, they had witnessed a stunning beauty, the kind that could hardly be matched. In the center of everyone’s attention was a young woman dressed in white. Her face was exquisitely shaped, her features refined and perfect, her ivory skin as smooth as silk, her bosom full and proud, her waist as slender as a wasp’s, her legs long and graceful, her hips round and alluring; her appearance, her figure, her skin—everything was flawless. Yet she carried herself with an air of supreme arrogance, her cold gaze ignoring everyone around her. To her, the students nearby might as well have been invisible. She walked among them like a swan surrounded by a crowd of toads, her head held high, leaving behind only a trail of stunned admiration.

“Wow, such a beautiful girl! Which class is she in? I’ve never seen her before—could she be a new student?”

“If she were a freshman, we would have heard about such a gorgeous girl long ago!”

“I know who she is, but she’s new here.”

“Who is she? Tell us!”

Meanwhile, the same avenue was alive with another spectacle, though for entirely different reasons.

“Look, that guy in the grey warrior’s uniform—that’s Luo Chen from Class One, Grade Three.”

“You mean the one who abandoned his injured partner during a monster encounter on his internship at Weston Academy, and was subsequently punished with a major demerit? I’ve heard about him for ages, but today’s the first time I’ve seen him.”

“Really? Someone like that? How could the Academy have admitted him? Blue Emperor Academy never accepts students with a major demerit on their records.”

“Do you know who Luo Chen’s partner was during that internship? It was Ellie from Class One, Grade One!”

After the great disaster, monsters became the common enemy of humanity. People might quarrel among themselves, but when faced with monsters, even those with grudges would stand shoulder to shoulder. Luo Chen’s past misdeeds cast a shadow almost as scandalous as the worst of scandals; two months had passed, yet the gossip had not died down. It seemed only when everyone at Blue Emperor Academy grew used to his presence and stopped finding him novel would the finger-pointing finally cease.

Luo Chen felt deeply wronged and worried that even after leaving the campus, he might still suffer others’ disdainful glances. He turned to Shi Feng beside him and said, “I think you’d better stay away from me, or you’ll end up being dragged down too.” He didn’t want Shi Feng to be isolated because of his own reputation.

Just then, a group of girls started up again.

“Did you notice the guy next to Luo Chen? He’s pretty handsome, really sunny-looking—the type I like!”

“Don’t be fooled by his looks. That guy is a real pervert, a total lecher. On the first day of school, he shouted out in front of everyone: ‘Blue Emperor Academy beauties, spread your legs and wait for me!’”

“No way, that’s disgusting! He’s a bona fide pervert!”

“That’s right, he’s from Weston Academy, just like Luo Chen. We have three boys from that school in our class, and all of them say that Shi Feng is a freak, obsessed with underwear. He steals bras and wears them on his head when he sleeps! So stay away from him, or you’ll regret it.”

“Shi Feng and Luo Chen were roommates at Weston Academy, and they still share a room now. Birds of a feather flock together! A pervert’s friend is a degenerate too!”

In truth, aside from the fact that Shi Feng loved chasing girls, he wasn’t as twisted as the rumors claimed. Luo Chen, who had lived with him for three years, knew this well. It was simply that Shi Feng had dated many girls, and plenty of Weston Academy boys were jealous, thinking the prettiest flowers were always eaten by pigs, so they slandered him out of spite.

Shi Feng rubbed his nose and grinned, “Animal, it seems my reputation is even worse than yours, haha…”

Luo Chen was speechless; it seemed that keeping Shi Feng at a distance was pointless—they were both equally infamous.

Shi Feng’s mood was unaffected by the gossip. In fact, he was quite excited as he said to Luo Chen, “Animal, have you heard? The new Beauty Queen rankings for Blue Emperor Academy are out.”

Why was it that every academy loved to hold such beauty rankings? Weston Academy had been no different. Luo Chen replied, weakly, “Beauty Queen? What has that got to do with me?”

“Come on, are you even a man?” Shi Feng retorted. “As long as there are beautiful girls, it concerns all men, and our birds as well!”

Having been ostracized at Blue Emperor Academy, Luo Chen could only banter with Shi Feng; boredom made him muster some enthusiasm. “Fine, go ahead and tell me.”

Talk of beautiful women instantly energized Shi Feng. “This time, ten girls made the list, selected by popular vote. Tenth place goes to Chloe from Class Eleven, Grade Three. Honestly, her looks aren’t as striking as some who didn’t make the list, but she’s mature, seductive, and her personality is bold and uninhibited. She has plenty of admirers, and for that, she’s made the list for three years running. I went to her class yesterday to see for myself—she really lives up to her reputation, so lascivious…”

“Stop!” Luo Chen frowned. “Do you need to describe each Beauty Queen so long-windedly? If you keep this up, you won’t finish before we reach the classroom. Can’t you be quicker and stick to the main points?”

“If you have no patience for information about beauties, you must have low testosterone,” Shi Feng grumbled. “Fine, I’ll focus on the essentials. Ninth place is Angel from Class Seven, Grade One—a pure little loli, the opposite of Chloe. Eighth is Han Lanwu from Class Four, Grade Two, whose main claim to fame is her skin, as white and smooth as milk, almost like silk. Seventh place goes to Louise from Class Twelve, Grade Two, who has the tall, slender figure of a model.”

“Sister Shi Fei from Class Five, Grade Three, has a classic, ladylike air—quite rare these days, and that rarity earned her sixth place. Fifth is Night Dew from Class Two, Grade Two, who’s not only talented in singing and dancing, but also president of the Academy’s arts and entertainment club. As for fourth and third place…” Shi Feng chuckled slyly. “These two beauties—you can’t possibly claim they have nothing to do with you. You’ve got a thing with them, you know.”

Luo Chen blurted out, “Joanna and Ellie?”

“That’s right,” Shi Feng laughed. “Animal, you admit it now, don’t you? The moment I mention them, you remember, so don’t pretend there’s nothing going on.”

Luo Chen decisively raised his middle finger. “Screw you. Don’t change the subject. The only beauties I know are them—who else could I think of?”

“After playing 3P, you still claim you just ‘know them a bit’?” Seeing Luo Chen about to snap, Shi Feng wisely continued, “Since they’re always together, the judges had a hard time separating them, so Joanna and Ellie took fourth and third place. I won’t bother describing why they made the list—you know that already.”

Shi Feng went on, “Second place is Lin Jia from Class Two, Grade One. Her family runs a fashion business with chain stores across the entire Canglan Continent. Their most famous brand, ‘Beautiful Life,’ is well-known—you must have heard of it. Lin Jia is the wealthiest heiress among all the Beauty Queens, and her family’s influence means she always dresses stylishly. Many girls in the Academy try to imitate her. Given her family and personal impact, she’s ranked second.”

Luo Chen asked, “So who’s the top Beauty Queen?”

Shi Feng teased, “Speaking of this flower queen, there’s a bit of legend to her. She’s only been at our Academy for less than a week!”

Luo Chen was surprised. “What? Less than a week? Then not many people should know her—how could she be crowned as Beauty Queen?”
