Chapter 42

Top Ten Beauties?

"Such an old trope?" Zuan An couldn't help but comment, "Isn't it a cliché from novels from over a decade ago?"

"What novels?" Wei Suo was also taken aback but continued, "Who cares if it's old or not? If the people love it, it's classic."

Zuan An laughed, "That makes sense. Go on, go on. Who are the top ten?"

Wei Suo had a look of someone who was pleased to teach, and he responded appropriately, showing the professional demeanor of a good listener, rather than babbling on like a fool: "The top beauty is naturally Chu Chuyan, the eldest daughter of the Mingyue family. She's like a fairy in a white dress, beautiful and highly cultivated, and is the dream lover of 99% of the students in the academy."

Then he sighed deeply, "Unfortunately, she got married a few days ago. It's said she married a notorious wimp from the city, which infuriated many young talents in the school who wanted to challenge him. I wonder what good fortune that guy had in his ancestors' graves."

Zuan An's fingers cracked as he grabbed Wei Suo's shoulder with a smile, "What did you say? Say it again."

"Ouch~" The pain in his shoulder made Wei Suo react immediately. Recalling what he had heard at the school gate, he hurriedly smiled and said, "I almost forgot, you are that wimp... Ah, no, no, Brother, you are indeed a man of talent and charm, surpassing me in every way. No wonder Chu Chuyan chose you."

Zuan An couldn't help but glance at his two lecherous buck teeth, thinking that this guy's thick skin was somewhat like his own. He asked curiously, "Why only 99% of people like her?"

"Mainly because Miss Chu is too cold. She naturally gives off a distant and aloof vibe," Wei Suo replied.

"Is that so?" Zuan An thought of the romance comic he had secretly read and smiled, "You just don't know her well enough."

"Of course we don't know her as well as you do," Wei Suo said with a hint of jealousy, "You've had close contact with her, how could you not know?"

"Besides Miss Chu, who else is on the list?" Zuan An, unaware of his thoughts, continued to ask, thinking it would be good to gather more information about the academy.

Wei Suo then said, "The second is Pei Mianman, who recently transferred from another school. Her figure... well, let me put it this way, any man who sees her will immediately think of a bed. She's the dream lover of all the men in the academy."

Zuan An recalled the scene from last night when he had a close encounter with her and subconsciously agreed, "Yeah, indeed, her assets are quite intimidating."

Wei Suo couldn't help but feel disdain, "You haven't even seen her, so what are you daydreaming about?"

Zuan An suddenly noticed the difference, "Why is she liked by 100% of men but ranked second?"

"You don't understand," Wei Suo said with the air of an experienced person, "Such a perfect beauty is suitable as a lover, not a wife. Miss Chu is the type who would make a good wife, so she's ranked first."

Zuan An couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Brother, you have a point! Who's third?"

Wei Suo replied, "The third beauty is the foreign language teacher, Shang Liuyu..."

"What? A foreign language teacher?" Zuan An was taken aback, "There's foreign language in this world?"

What a nightmare, in his previous life, he had been tortured by foreign language, and now it was here too. He knew of a novelist named Huoxing who, despite being a top talent, failed the foreign language section of the college entrance exam and ended up at Nan University.

"Of course there is," Wei Suo looked at him as if he were an idiot, "After the great battles, the other races were driven to the remote and harsh lands, but there are still many non-human races in our society. They have their own customs, languages, and cultures, which we need to understand. Otherwise, if we can't understand them in the future, we'll be at a disadvantage."

Zuan An was stunned. He had just arrived in this world and didn't fully understand the thousand-year-old war between humans and non-humans, but he could sense the deep pride and confidence in every human, much like the people during the Tang Dynasty's golden age.

"Arriving in a prosperous era, what a great time. This way, I can easily be a pampered young master," Zuan An was relieved.

"Where was I?" Wei Suo thought for a moment, "The third is the foreign language teacher, Shang Liuyu. She's not only beautiful but also elegant and refined. In my opinion, such a gentle and mature big sister should be ranked first, but those kids only like their peers."

Zuan An wanted to ask how old he was, clearly a kid himself but liking older women. Wait, he just said the foreign language teacher's name is Shang Liuyu?

Isn't that the one Ji Dantu mentioned? Hmm, looks like he should try to get closer to her and see if there's a chance...

"What level of cultivation does Teacher Shang have?" Zuan An thought it was important to gather information to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

"Cultivation?" Wei Suo frowned, "I don't think Teacher Shang is known for her cultivation. I haven't heard anything about it, so she's probably around the fourth level at most."

"Fourth level?" Zuan An's eyes lit up. The gap didn't seem so large, so he might still have a chance.

Wei Suo continued, "The fourth is our principal, Jiang Luofu. She's a top-notch mature woman, a queen, not only beautiful but also the strongest in our academy."

"The principal is a woman?" Zuan An was surprised.

"Who says the principal has to be a man?" Wei Suo looked at him as if he were naive, "Principal Jiang could have been ranked first, but her overwhelming presence probably pushed her to fourth. It's a shame this generation of kids is so lacking."

"Cough, cough, criticizing the principal behind her back, do you want to die?" The school staff member, who had been listening intently, couldn't help but warn him.

Wei Suo immediately smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't say anything more about the principal."

The staff member then turned away.

Wei Suo continued to Zuan An, "The fifth beauty is Wu Qing, the daughter of the Duke of Yangquan in the neighboring city. She's very beautiful, but it's said she has a bad temper."

"The sixth is the city lord's daughter, Xie Daoyun, the sister of Xie Xiu you saw at the school gate. Unlike her brother, she's a talented woman, strong in cultivation, and gentle. In my opinion, Wu Qing is only ranked higher because of her father's influence."

"The seventh is Ji Xiaoxi, the daughter of the famous doctor Ji Dantu. She's petite and adorable, and her fans in the school are as numerous as those of Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman. She's the favorite of lolicon, but not my type."

Zuan An was intrigued. He hadn't expected the little girl he met in the valley to be studying here. It seemed they had a connection. He should try to get closer to her, as his future happiness depended on her father.

"The eighth is Zheng Dan, the daughter of the Zheng family in the city. The Zheng family is probably the wealthiest in the entire Mingyue City after the Chu family. Whoever marries her can work hard for at least thirty years, but marrying a Chu family daughter would save you fifty years of effort."

Zuan An sighed inwardly. Being a son-in-law of the Chu family was a bittersweet experience. Few in the Chu family took him seriously, and the fifty years of saved effort was just an outsider's perspective.

Of course, a man can't lose face in public, so he had to act modestly.

"But there's a rumor that the Zheng family might be marrying into the newly appointed governor's family. I don't know if it's true," Wei Suo said, somewhat resentfully, "It's frustrating, there are already too few beauties, and now they're all taken."

Zuan An patted his shoulder with a smirk, "Cheer up, there are still many singles. I believe with your skills, you can easily win them over."

"That's true~" Wei Suo raised his head, but thinking of his favorite, Principal Jiang, he immediately lost his spirit, "The ninth is Chu Huanzhao, the second daughter of the Chu family. She's clearly a beauty from a young age, but she hasn't fully grown up yet. Plus, she acts like a tomboy, so she's ranked lower."

"The tenth, I forgot her name. She has a special aura that makes people subconsciously forget her..."

"Those who make it into the top ten are all extremely beautiful. In my opinion, their looks don't differ much. The ranking is mainly influenced by other factors."

Impressed by his insight, Zuan An couldn't help but respect him, "You have a good understanding, indeed a seasoned veteran."

Wei Suo, surprisingly, was modest, "Not really, I'm just a theorist. I can't compare to you, who has personally experienced the top beauty... Why do I feel like crying when I say this?"

"Enough, enough, stop fooling around. Wei Suo, go to your class," the staff member pointed to a classroom not far ahead. The school was large, and they had walked for a while to get there.

Then he waved to Zuan An, "Follow me, the principal wants to see you."

Wei Suo was immediately anxious, "We're both new students, why doesn't the principal want to see me?"

The staff member rolled his eyes, "You came in through the regular exam, he's a connection. Can they be the same?"

Zuan An felt a bit awkward, "Hey, hey, hey, don't say that in front of me. What about my face?"

Hearing the reason, Wei Suo could only accept it reluctantly. He walked a few steps toward the classroom, then turned back, "Remember to look at the principal's legs and tell me what kind of stockings she's wearing today!"

Zuan An: "..."

The staff member, looking angry, made a move to hit him. Wei Suo, seeing the danger, quickly dodged into the classroom.

The staff member then warned Zuan An sternly, "Don't listen to that guy. If you upset the principal, even the Mingyue family can't protect you."

Zuan An nodded, becoming more curious about the beautiful principal.

Following the staff member, they arrived at a tall building. Unlike the teaching building, the stairs here were carpeted in red, with intricate and valuable patterns.

"Truly luxurious!" Zuan An couldn't help but comment, "It seems that in any world, the most magnificent building in a school is always the administrative building."

The staff member reminded him, "The teachers' offices are in this building. Even though some don't come often, don't wander around here. If something happens, don't blame me for not warning you."

Zuan An nodded, but was thinking about where Shang Liuyu's office was. But then he thought, her intimate clothing wouldn't be in her office anyway.

They climbed the stairs to the top floor, walked down a long corridor, and the staff member stopped at a room at the end, knocking on the door, "Principal, I've brought Zuan An."

"Let him in," a formal voice came from behind the door. Despite its formality, the unique and melodic tone was enough to make any man fantasize.

Zuan An nodded, becoming even more curious about the beautiful principal.
