Chapter 5, The Beauty

Ouyang Yu observed these individuals with great interest. Their clothing appeared to be made from some kind of animal hide and leaves. The garments on their upper bodies featured patterns typical of certain animal furs, exposing half of their chests, while the lower part consisted of a short skirt in leaf green, revealing a pair of strong and long legs.

This attire is completely different from what Ouyang Yu saw at Yanping Wang's place. Just as Ouyang Yu was puzzled, a whisper reached her ears: "Today is quite fortunate, half of the nobles from our Huru Kingdom have actually arrived."

Everything here gave Ouyang Yu a sense of strangeness. She took a closer look and discovered that the horses ridden by the several young men and women were particularly majestic and tall, even taller than any famous breed of horse she had seen in her previous life

Upon arriving at the entrance of the restaurant, a tall young man in his twenties, with a dark brown complexion and snake patterns embroidered on his neck and chest, jumped down first. After scanning the crowd in the restaurant with his narrow, purple eyes, he turned to his companions and said, "Let’s eat something here."

His physique is quite tall and robust, and this height combined with his somewhat youthful yet perfect face makes Ouyang Yu immediately think of a phrase: a beastly beautiful young man

As Ouyang Yu raised his head, a slightly hoarse female voice came from nearby: "Hey, who made your hat, where can I buy one, give me this one!"

At that moment, as Ouyang Yu was sizing up these individuals, a group of high-ranking officials rode their horses towards the tavern. As they moved, the crowd of onlookers gradually parted, clearing a path for them.

The speaker is a young man with somewhat ashen skin and grayish-white eyes, which give people a chilling feeling when he looks at them. The young man shook his head and, in a low and hoarse voice, said: "Perhaps so. According to the information I have received, those who saw that woman at the time were all calling her a demoness, claiming that she was a person who should not exist in this world."

Ouyang Yu naturally did not respond

Several young girls were dressed in long robes resembling skirts, with extremely low necklines, exposing most of their breasts. Although the patrons in the tavern did not dare to speak, their eyes constantly roamed over the faces and bodies of those young girls, all displaying an expression of lustful fascination.

As the young man spoke, everyone hurriedly dismounted from their horses. The young man naturally walked to the front, walking side by side with the youth marked with snake patterns. The others lagged half a step behind them

Perhaps sensing Ouyang Yu's gaze, the boy with dark red skin suddenly turned his head and looked at her intently. Ouyang Yu was taken aback and quickly lowered her head, not daring to move at all

Upon looking at those young girls, Ouyang Yu's eyes instantly widened: these girls were all around seventeen or eighteen years old, their features were more than just delicate, but they were not particularly beautiful. However, their skin was noticeably more tender than any women she had encountered on her journey. Could it be that they were the top beauties of this world

"Very well." A young man sitting upright on horseback was the first to speak. This young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a dark red complexion. He had coarse, dark brown hair, and his face, which bore a hint of youthfulness, was as if sculpted from marble, strikingly three-dimensional and attractive

Ouyang Yu listened with trepidation, her head lowered as she cautiously sought an opportunity to leave this place. At that moment, a slightly clearer voice of a woman exclaimed, "A妖女? Is there really such a beautiful woman in the world? It can't be just a boast, can it? In this realm of ten nations, which place do we not know of beautiful women? Where is there a妖女?"

The young prince snorted and said, "The King of Yanping has always been self-righteous; he is full of cunning schemes. Over the years, no one has been able to do anything about his Yanping City. If that woman is truly a demoness, what can he do if he refuses to let us see her?"

As soon as her voice fell, the young girl said unhappily, "Why is it so troublesome?" After a pause, she added, "I don't even know if you are dirty or if this hat is disgusting."

Ouyang Yu wore an expression of disbelief, as the murmurs and excited exclamations continued to ring in her ears while she scrutinized these individuals from head to toe

This young girl is the most delicate-looking among the several women. As soon as she speaks, several young men immediately look at her attentively, their faces filled with smiles

Upon closer inspection, Ouyang Yu noticed that among the exposed skin of the passersby, tattoos constituted the vast majority. Only a few young girls had truly clean faces and bodies.

Behind these individuals, on uniformly black steeds, sat four or five tall young men. And behind the young men, there were several riders, with a few young women seated gracefully on horseback.

At this moment, Ouyang Yu was extremely hungry. Although the beauty was important, what mattered more was that he could no longer bear his hunger. As soon as he saw the waiter bringing the dishes, he set aside thoughts of the beauty and began to eat heartily.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's interest was piqued. However, Ouyang Yu felt a chill: How could it have spread here so quickly? No, I must leave this place as soon as possible

This statement clearly resonated with everyone, leading to a profound silence.

Fortunately, after the young man glanced at her, he shifted his gaze. At that moment, a deep voice said: "Your Highness, it is said that the Lord of Yanping City has acquired a stunning beauty."

As the several nobles strode towards the tavern, the crowd hurriedly made way for them. Before long, they took their seats at the table next to Ouyang Yu.

The young prince nodded and said, "What the fifth sister said is absolutely right. I simply do not believe that there is a woman in this world who is more beautiful than my fifth sister." As he spoke, he broke into a smile and added, "However, if there is, that would be quite amusing." At that moment, a look of longing shone in his eyes.

The rice here is quite peculiar, exuding a pure fragrance of rice, but the grains are exceptionally large, about the size of a child's finger. Ouyang Yu, feeling extremely hungry, paid no mind to it and quickly scooped a bowl full, gulping down a mouthful of tea. After feeling a bit more comfortable, he then followed others and looked up towards the outside.

Ouyang Yu thought to himself: So I have escaped like this and unexpectedly ended up in another country. I truly did not expect this. Could it be that the nobles of this so-called Huru Kingdom wear such revealing clothing?

Ouyang Yu did not want to cause trouble, nor did he look at the young girl. He lowered his head and pretended to be afraid, clearing his throat and saying: "This hat was given to me by a villager from a distant village. You can have it, but I have a bit of a headache and cannot stand the wind. Let me go outside to sell another hat and then I will give this one to you."

As soon as this statement was made, everyone immediately became excited. Without waiting for the young man to speak, the young man with the snake-patterned attire said in a rough voice: "A demoness? Such a high evaluation? Third brother, it seems we must go to Yanping City to witness this for ourselves"

In front of Ouyang Yu's seat, the area was filled with tall spectators. As she turned her head, she could see nothing clearly. At that moment, Ouyang Yu stood up, quietly squeezed into the crowd, and stood on tiptoe to look outside

At that moment, the noise grew louder and closer. This time, not only Ouyang Yu, but even the girl beside him lost interest in asking about her hat and stood on tiptoe to look outside

On the street, a squad of neatly organized fully armed soldiers cleared the way, holding silver guns in their hands, the gun tips glinting with a chilling light under the sunlight

The young man was taken aback and asked, "A stunning beauty? Is she even more beautiful than these few ladies?"
