Chapter 189 The Ming Dynasty's Rouge List is Released, Women Are Not Inferior to Men!
The laughter in the inn enraged Dongfang Bubai.
The plan was going smoothly from the start, it's all because of those self-righteous idiots!
If it weren't for them, I don't think I would have succeeded.
At the same time, there was still a hint of doubt in Dongfang Bubai's eyes.
Although the plan was discovered, Li Chengqian clearly drank that cup of tea!
Why is he completely unharmed?
(Li Chengqian: Manggu Zhuha Dan, making you immune to all poisons, is worth having.)
Looking at the crowd below laughing so hard they were bent over, Li Chengqian took a sip of tea and wiped the sleeping potion stuck in his mouth.
"It seems like not having the sleeping potion to drink isn't a good thing either."
Li Chengqian spoke these words very softly.
But with just that one sentence, the smiles at the inn froze instantly.
""
Are you a sore loser? I was just joking. Why are you insulting people with "543"?
It's just a sleeping potion, don't act like nobody can afford it. I'll buy a pound and drink it for you tomorrow.
Seeing everyone's dejected expressions, Li Chengqian was in a great mood.
Ah!
A bunch of single people dare to laugh at me?
Wow!
Li Chengqian opened his folding fan, shook it twice, and said, "The main text of the storytelling session has ended."
"Next is time for casual conversation. I promised you all last time to compile a list of the most beautiful women in the Ming Dynasty. Now, let me, Li, reveal the secret to you."
"Mr. Li, please wait!"
A voice interrupted Li Chengqian.
Lu Xiaofeng walked out with a smile.
“Mr. Li, you once said that there were no women of unparalleled beauty on the list of beauties of the Song Dynasty.”
"But the Ming Dynasty Rouge Ranking does exist, so you should at least explain the difference between the two Jianghu Rouge Rankings."
"Yes, Mr. Li, please tell us about it!"
The martial arts enthusiasts below started to jeer.
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Young Master Lu is right. We should indeed talk about the differences between the Rouge Rankings."
"Customs vary from place to place."
“Every dynasty has its own unique flavor, and this is perfectly reflected in women.”
"The Jianghu of the Song Dynasty is uniquely skilled in poetry and painting, so the women of the Song Dynasty are as beautiful as the misty rain of Jiangnan."
"And it gave birth to the Little Dragon Girl, who was like a fairy from heaven."
"In contrast, the Ming Dynasty was filled with a sense of war and bloodshed throughout the entire martial arts world and the imperial court."
"This also led to the emergence of many outstanding women in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty."
"As for what constitutes 'peerless beauty' in Li's mind..."
Li Chengqian paused deliberately halfway through his sentence.
Have you ever heard anyone say that women are inferior to men?
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty all fell down.
Although Mr. Li phrased it tactfully, everyone understood.
The meaning is simple: the Ming Dynasty had great backbone, while the Song Dynasty was cowardly.
Faced with such humiliating words, the people of the Song Dynasty should have fiercely refuted them.
But they just can't bring themselves to say it!
Six great dynasties stand tall on the continent of Kyushu, each having experienced countless wars.
Even today, there are still foreign countries eyeing the borders between the Song and Ming dynasties.
However, among the six great dynasties, the Song Dynasty suffered the most defeats.
Some battles were lost in a very bizarre way, even when the enemy had more troops, better weapons, and more supplies.
But somehow they managed to defeat them; that's a really baffling move.
And even more baffling things were yet to come. The Song Dynasty suffered so many defeats, and almost every time it had to pay reparations.
However, the Song Dynasty was far more wealthy than the Ming Dynasty, a fact that many martial arts practitioners still don't understand.
In contrast, things were much simpler in the Ming Dynasty.
They've suffered major defeats before, but their emperor is tough!
Long ago, the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty also wanted to emulate the Song Dynasty by having the martial arts community support the imperial court.
However, one of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty made a direct remark.
"Go cool off there and stay there. The martial world is the martial world, and the imperial court is the imperial court."
"The borders of the Ming Dynasty are not for江湖人 (jianghu people) to meddle in. If you want to kill the enemy, join the army!"
Thinking of this, everyone in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty sighed.
Why is our own emperor so utterly useless?
It's okay to lose a battle, but at least have some backbone! You're putting us in a difficult position.
Seeing that the crowd below had quieted down, Li Chengqian continued, "I have divided the Ming Dynasty Rouge Ranking into four tiers."
"The quantities are two, three, three, and two respectively."
"The other rules are the same as those of the Song Dynasty's Rouge Ranking; women of the same rank are not ranked."
"The Ming Dynasty Rouge Ranking, fourth tier, tenth place: Bai Axiu."
"Bai Axiu, from the Western Regions Snow Mountain Sect, is the granddaughter of Mr. Weide, Bai Zizai."
"She was beautiful, gentle and kind, with flowing clothes and a graceful figure."
"A gentle yet strong personality, easily moved to tears..."
"Her big, watery eyes looked down at her toes, and tears slid down her cheeks."
"Any man who sees this will feel tenderness and pity for her."
"She is truly a snow fairy descended to earth. Considering all factors, she is placed tenth on the Rouge List."
After hearing Bai Axiu's comments, the martial arts practitioners of the Ming Dynasty were all intrigued.
Gee!
If you marry a woman like this, you'll be so delicate you'll be afraid she'll break if you hold her in your hands, and afraid she'll melt if you keep her in your mouth.
It's amazing that Mr. Li has even explored such remote and sparsely populated places as the Western Regions!
People in the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world admired Mr. Li's extensive knowledge, while those in the Song Dynasty's martial arts world looked down on him.
cut!
What's so great about her? Can she be as pretty as Little Dragon Girl?
The list of beauties in the Ming Dynasty was nothing special.
Li Chengqian naturally noticed the expressions on the faces of the Jianghu people of the Song Dynasty. He decided not to rush to slap them in the face and to take it slow.
"Liu Yiyi, ranked ninth in the fourth tier of the Ming Dynasty Rouge List."
"Liu Yiyi, owner of Shishenju Restaurant".
"Her culinary skills are superb, her eyes are bright, and she has a beautiful appearance!"
"She has a simple, kind, and helpful personality. As the saying goes, if you want to win a man's heart, you must first win his stomach."
"Liu Yiyi is quite beautiful, but if it weren't for her cooking skills, she might not have made it onto the Rouge List."
After hearing about two women from the Ming Dynasty's Rouge Ranking, everyone frowned.
Although these two women are beautiful, they pale in comparison to the stunning beauties of the Song Dynasty, as depicted on the Rouge List.
Upon seeing this, people from the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty jumped out.
"Mr. Li, didn't you say that the Rouge Ranking of the Ming Dynasty was unparalleled in beauty?"
"But now that I've heard about the two beauties on the list, I don't think they're all that great!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Li Chengqian.
Especially those from the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, all hoped that Mr. Li could give a satisfactory explanation.
I don't want to be outdone by those people from the Song Dynasty.
"Hehehe!"
"Please don't panic, everyone. Those two were ideas that I racked my brains to come up with."
"Among those in the Ming Dynasty who are good-looking and possess a gentle beauty, there are only these two."
"The next beauty pageant will feature women who are just as capable as the men!"
The Five Great Jianghu of the Song Dynasty:
I was careless. Why didn't you say so sooner?
Chapter 190 The Jianghu of the Ming Dynasty: A Woman Who Doesn't Get Jealous?
The martial arts world of the Song Dynasty felt that something was amiss. It seemed that Mr. Li's slap in the face last time followed the same process!
Although I really want Mr. Li to stop publishing the Ming Dynasty Rouge Ranking, who can stop him here at Ping An Inn?
