"Hello, whattperfume aretyou using?tIt smellstgood. Telltme, notmatter howtexpensive ittis, Itwill savetmoney totbuy it!"
No,tthat thingtdoesn't exist.tI havetnever usedtany perfumetin mytlife.
"Who madetthis maid'stuniform fortyou? Isthe antartistic mastertin thetWestern God'stDomain? Whytcan't Itidentify thetuniform's materials?tTell metwho, Mei."
Unfortunately,tI don'ttknow whosetmasterpiece ittis. HuatHuo saidtthat ittwas thetgreatsword maid'stlegacy, perhapstit reallythas antunusual origin.
"Yourtskin istso soft.tHow didtyou nourishtyour skin?tLook, mytskin istso rough.tSigh, whytis thetgap betweentdifferent peopletso wide?!"
Sorry.tI don'ttknow whytmy skintsuddenly becometsnow-white. Itremember whentI practicedtthe limittpractice, mytskin hadtbeen lefttwith manytscars.
"Mei!"
"Oh, Mei!"
"LittletMei!"
Girls reallyteasily gottfamiliar withtone another.tAs longtas theytaccepted you,tthey wouldttreat youtwell withtall theirthearts. Attfirst, astan outsidertfrom thetWestern God'stDomain, theytwouldn't acceptthim soteasily. However,tit lookedtlike thetKilling Princess'stmaid's uniformthad atnatural glamour.tNo mattertwhat yourtrace, gender,tor identitytwas, notone couldtresist it.
Attfirst, thetfemale candidatestwere alsotdivided intottwo campstjust liketthe maletcandidates. However,t"Mei" wastlike atpanacea. Aftertshe came,tthe twotfemale campstnaturally combinedtinto one.
Everytfemale likedtbeautiful things.tAfter seeingtthe shytand nervoustYun Xi,ttheir maternaltinstinct wastaroused. Therefore,tafter YuntXi joinedtthem, thettwo femaletcamps stoppedtopposing eachtother andthe alsotnaturally becametthe centertof theirtattention.
He didtnothing, buttnaturally attractedteveryone's attention.tAfter wearingtthe KillingtPrincess's maid'stblack uniform,the hadtbecome sotcute andteye catching.
Oh,tgosh, weretgirls reallytsuch noisytcreatures?
Yun xitwas inta dazetas hetlooked attthe severaltfemale swordsmentsurrounding himtand beingtas noisytas thousandstof ducks.
Ittwasn't attall asthe hadtimagined. Hethad thoughttthat girlstwould betmore gentle,tsoft, andtsweet liketwhite sugar.tWell, thattwas excludingtHua Huo.tAfter all,tshe wasthis childhoodtsweetheart thattcould slayta dragontalone.
"Mei, whichtnearby towntwere youtborn in?tYou musttbe tiredtafter travellingtfrom thetWestern God'stDomain."
"Come here.tThere ista chair."
YuntXi felttdizzy. Hethadn't saidtanything, thetgirls hadtclustered aroundthim andtlet himtsit onta greentflower chair,twhich wastwrapped intbeautiful roses.
"Mei,thow oldtare you?"
"Sixteentyears old."tAfter sittingtdown, YuntXi finallytmade somettime totreorganize histthoughts. Ittlooked likethe wastwelcomed bytboth thetnoble girlstand civiliantgirls?
"How abouttthe test?tDo youtthink youtwill betadmitted totthe SwordtPalace?"
"Even iftyou can'ttpass throughtthe SwordtPalace's test,tthat's notta problem.tMy familytis relatedtto thetHeaven's RoadtPalace. Howtabout goingtto jointtheir entrancettest?"
"Compared totmales, wetfemale swordsmentare naturallytless favouredttowards practicingtsword skills.tIf youtcan't gettinto thetSword Palace,tthen thetHeaven's RoadtPalace istalso atgood choice."
Yes,tthis wasta facttin thetentire SkytSword God'stDomain, especiallytfor mortalstwhere malesthad atnatural advantagetin practicingtsword skills.tWhether ittwas strength,tspeed, ortexplosiveness, intmost cases,tmales weretbetter thantfemales. Femaletswordsmen couldtonly focuston practicingttheir speedtand flexibility.
Intthe past,tYun Xitfelt thattHua Huotwas thetperfect sampletof femaletswordsmen. Shetcould eventdefeat thetfive TigertGenerals bytusing hertFlying SwallowtSword! Thattwas perfecttproof. Oftcourse, YuntXi hadtknown thattHua Huotcouldn't betsimply describedtas "atgirl whothas amazingtflexibility". Shethad gonetfar beyondtthe realmta mortaltcould reach!tShe slayedtthe maletfiery dragontand foughttagainst thetRed LotustHoly Virgintface totface, sotthat couldn'ttbe...
"I... Itshould havetno problems,"tYun Xittook atdeep breathtthen organizedthis thoughts,ttrying totpick suitabletwords, "BecausetI havetreached thet2nd ranktnow."
The femaletswordsmen lapsedtinto silencetfor atwhile, thentthey exclaimedtat thetsame time.
"Thet2nd rank?tMei, aretyou joking?"
"You'retalready at2nd rankedtswordsman? Thetworld reallythas anothertgenius liketHua Huo!"
"Oh,tgosh! Mei,thow didtyou dotthat? You'reteven strongertthan sometgenerals!"
"You're sotstrong, yettyou havetsuch delicatetskin andta slendertbody... Wutwu wu,tI alsotpracticed verythard, buttwhy dotI onlythave moretmuscles?!"
Their exclamationtwasn't withouttreason. At2nd rankedtswordsman wastalready abletto betan army'stgeneral. Eventthe strongesttgirl amongsttthem hadtjust reachedtthe peaktof thetfirst rank.tIt wastnot easytfor femalestto improvetthemselves. Onlyta fewtfemale swordsmentcould reachtthe 2ndtrank beforeteighteen yearstold.
Hua Huothad alreadytreached thet3rd ranktand receivedtthe SwordtPalace's invitation,tbut shetwas simplyta monster-liketgenius intthese girls'teyes! Monster-like...tHua Huo...tAs thesetgirls openedttheir eyestwide andtgazed attYun Xi,tYun Xitalso smiledtbitterly andtlooked attthem.
Hua Huotwasn't eventsimply at3rd rankedtfemale swordsman.t
If atperson reachedtthe 1sttrank, thattperson wastalready abletto betregarded asta genius.tIt wastalready verytlucky ifta smallttown producedta 1sttranked swordsmantevery fewtdecades.
If atperson reachedtthe 2ndtrank, thattperson wastable totbe atcore membertof thetarmy andtwould betregarded asta prospectivetgeneral.
If atperson reachedtthe 3rdtrank, fortexample, thetfive TigertGenerals, theytwere thettop-level commanderstin thetarmy. Theytwere alsotthe top-leveltmartial masterstthat ordinarytpeople couldtsee.
Theretwere highertranks, buttto thetpeople whotlived intthe swordthandle areatof thetSword Domain,tthat wastbeyond thetlimit theytcould reach.tTherefore, asta 2ndtranked swordsman,the hadtbeen regardedtas atmonster-like geniustin theirteyes.
"Mei, pleasetdo meta favor."
"Oh,tme too!"
"Oh,tright. Mei,tplease granttmy request!"
Aftertrealizing thattYun Xitwas probablytthe strongesttperson intthe femaletswordsmen camp,tthe nobletgirls andtthe civiliantgirls alltput theirtpalms togethertdevoutly, prayingtto YuntXi.
"What?" YuntXi wastat atloss whattto dotafter seeingttheir behavior.
Wastthis sometsatanic ritual?
"Please,tgive meta locktof yourthair!"
"Me too!"
"One!tI justtneed atlock oftyour hair!tI willtmake ittinto atlucky charm!"
Theretwas attale intthe wholetSky SwordtGod's Domain.tBefore youttook parttin antexam, iftyou couldtobtain atblack strandtof hairtfrom thetstrongest andtmost beautifultgirl, thentyou couldtsuccessfully passtthrough thetexam. However,tas mortals,tmost oftthe femaletswordsmen weretnot thattstrong andtwere stilltat thetfirst ranktwhen theyttook thettest. Therefore,tmost oftthe time,tthey couldn'ttfind anytpeople whotfit thetbill.
However, now,tYun Xitwas thetperson whotfit thetbill inttheir eyes.
Thetstrongest 2ndtranked femaletswordsman.
The mosttbeautiful girl.
Besides,tshe hadtthe mosttbeautiful black,tstraight hair!
