Chapter 406

The TV station’s star hostess really was gorgeous.

Among the thousands of people in the courtyard, she stood out like a crane among chickens.

Her stunning face, graceful figure, and unique aura commanded so much attention that she even seemed to eclipse the superstar Lin Jiji and the high-ranking official Zhang Hongtu.

It was as if she were the sole protagonist in this massive courtyard.

Dazzling and captivating, she made the imaginations of countless men in the crowd run wild.

Even Chenyang, who had seen his fair share of beauties, couldn’t help but stare. He had to admit, even gorgeous women like Yan Rongrong would instantly pale in comparison if they stood beside her.

As he stared, lost in thought, Yan Rongrong asked knowingly, “Think she looks like a vibrant rose blooming in a field of weeds?”

Chenyang smiled. “I think ‘peony’ suits her better. She’s stunning but not gaudy, enchanting but not coquettish. She has a pure, flawless beauty, yet also an ethereal grace. Utterly dazzling…”

“Are you just stringing together every pretty adjective you can think of?” Yan Rongrong asked disdainfully.

Chenyang cleared his throat. “Haha, you can’t help but be generous with praise for something so beautiful. Besides, do you really think my description is wrong?”

“Wrong, my ass! A peony? If you ask me, she’s a damn ‘white lotus,’ and the ‘green tea’ kind at that.”

“Are you just saying that because you’re jealous, or… do you know something about her that others don’t?”

“Me, jealous of her?” Yan Rongrong threw her head back, puffed out her chest, and provocatively jutted out her hip. “Do you think I *need* to be jealous of her?”

“Hahaha.”

Seeing Chenyang just laugh without saying a word, Yan Rongrong shot him an annoyed glare. “Fine, I admit she’s prettier than me. But haven’t you ever heard what Zhang Wuji’s mom said?”

“What did she say?”

“The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is!”

“But wasn’t Zhang Wuji’s mom the most beautiful one in that series?”

“You…” Yan Rongrong was suddenly at a loss for words, thrown off by Chenyang’s bizarre logic.

Chenyang just smiled. “Actually, more than whether this star hostess has any juicy stories, I’m more curious about the ‘Top Ten Goddesses’ you mentioned. I mean, I went to university here in Yang City for four years, and I’ve never heard of a ranking like that.”

“That’s because you were moving in the wrong circles. Yang City has tons of rankings: a Goddess Ranking, a God Ranking, even rankings for combat strength, wealth, the ugliest man, and the ugliest woman.

And a good number of these lists are officially recognized.”

“The government helps put these lists together?”

“A while back, to boost the economy and tourism, they launched a big competition online and on TV. The idea was to select some good-looking people to be the public face of Yang City, but in a way, that was basically an official acknowledgment of these rankings, right?”

“That makes sense. And if it’s spearheaded by the government and uses the internet and TV for voting, it would have a high degree of credibility.”

“Exactly. So the list is pretty well-regarded. It’s updated every year based on public voting, and over time, the people in the top ten have all gained a fair bit of fame and a decent following in Yang City.”

As she spoke, Yan Rongrong pointed toward the star hostess. “Take her, for example. Among all the goddesses, she ranks quite high and has a huge number of fans.”

Chenyang raised an eyebrow. “So you’re telling me, even though she’s this much of a knockout, she’s still not number one on Yang City’s Goddess Ranking?”

Yan Rongrong nodded. “She was third last year. I think she dropped to fourth this year.”

“Holy crap. If someone this gorgeous only ranks third or fourth, just how beautiful are the women in first and second place?”

“Well, how do I put this… from a woman’s perspective, when I see the star hostess, I just feel like she’s a little prettier than me. When I see the woman in second place, I start to feel like I’m a little ugly. And if I were to run into number one? I’d just hang my head and run for the hills.”

Hearing this, Chenyang’s curiosity was piqued even further. “Do you have pictures of them?”

“No. When we’re done here, I can take you to see them in person. But that’s it. Just looking.”

“Why only looking?”

“A top-tier goddess of that caliber is completely out of the league for a small fry like you to even think about. So, apart from looking, don’t get any other ideas.”

“I wasn’t getting any ideas. I was just curious to see if they were really as beautiful as you say. But what you just said… that’s stirred up my competitive spirit. Now I’m not just going to see them. I’m going to get them into bed.”

“You?!” Yan Rongrong scoffed. “You want to sleep with them? Not in your next life.”
