"Yes, not wearing a mask at the Fairy Flower Feast is a sign of respect toward His Majesty, and it is also a ritual, though not a rule. Don"t you know this?""Is it because you are too ugly? Which is why you always hide your appearance?"
"In fact, we are all growing immortals. We don"t really care about beauty or ugliness, as long as you reveal your true appearance."
"That"s right, even if you have chicken skin or bird hair, we will not make a joke of you…"
There was someone with a bad motive who tried to compromise. "Guys, please don"t say this. When this Mighty Immortal started to be famous, His Majesty was not enthroned as the emperor yet. She is the senior of the seniors. Even the Divine Couple needed to give her face. Everyone should respect her as a senior."
These people who continued to speak were all the female celestial beings. It seemed like they had been unhappy with Gu Xijiu for a long time. Hence, everyone took turns to tease her and wanted to make her look bad.
Gu Xijiu was very well-conserved. She listened to them quietly. After they finished, she put her cup on the table and gently smiled. "It is not that I don"t want to reveal my appearance. I am considerate for the sake of the other female celestial beings. I am afraid that after you have seen my original appearance, you will feel guilty and shameful until you run away. How disappointing it is if that happens?"
Everyone remained silent for a moment.
Fairy Yingxue sneered. "Since you said so, it makes us even more curious. You should just take off the mask so that we can all see how amazing you look; apparently, it will even make us feel shameful." She did not believe that Gu Xijiu was beautiful. Everything was just an excuse!
Gu Xijiu put her finger on her mask. "Do you really want to see what"s under the mask? Are you certain you won"t regret it?"
The female celestial beings nodded, along with the rest of the crowd.
Gu Xijiu gently sighed. "Well..." She stretched her fingers to reveal her face little by little. All eyes were gathered on Gu Xijiu"s face. When the mask was taken off, at the moment, almost everyone held their breath!
There were only two words in everyone"s mind: "So beautiful!" Yet, her beauty could not be described in words! Fairy Yingxue"s face was pale. She was also a beautiful woman but compared to Gu Xijiu, she became a mediocre woman that was not worth mentioning. Furthermore, Gu Xijiu looked extremely young. Her delicate skin made her look like a 17 or 18-year-old girl.
The Emperor Immortal"s eyes were also brightened! He could not help but sigh in his heart. No wonder Shen Nianmo was fascinated by her, this woman really had the looks! Her appearance was comparable to Ning Xuemo"s!
All the female celestial beings present suddenly looked old and ordinary after being compared with Gu Xijiu. Those male celestial beings who were initially diligent in courting them had switched their attention away.
Some of them who were pouring tea did not even realize that the tea had overflown. Some even accidentally poured wine on themselves, and some who peeled off the sh.e.l.l of shrimp had mistakenly eaten the sh.e.l.l instead of the shrimp!
"Fake! It"s an illusion! It must be an illusion!" Someone screamed.
The words awakened the women, so those women who had not yet reached the level of a Mighty Immortal echoed. "Yes, it must be fake! How can she look so young at such an age?"
Someone looked at Fairy Yingxue with hope. She was a Mighty Immortal, so she could tell whether it was an illusion or not. Fairy Yingxue grabbed her fists in her sleeves. She could really see through any illusion, so she understood that the current appearance of Gu Xijiu was real. She did not use any illusion magic!
