Chapter 2453: Men Are All Hideous, Whereas Women Are All Beautiful

Annoyed by the woman’s request, Zu An had decided to summon Mo Xi.

It had been a long time since Mo Xi last came out. The first thing she did was to demand Ki Fruits from Zu An, but she suddenly froze up when she saw the beautiful woman opposite her. As the two of them stared at each other, Mo Xi’s empty eyes suddenly flickered. She felt as if a spark of flame had ignited inside her, though Zu An didn’t notice a thing at all.

The beautiful woman initially had a playful smile sitting on her lips. She thought that even if the human was speaking the truth, their resemblance could only go this far. To her astonishment, the other party looked just about identical to her. To be fair, there were differences in their appearances, but the overall feeling they gave off was similar. Even their clothes and accessories looked as if they were carved out of the same mold.

“Holy shit!”

The six men were startled by this shocking sight. They first looked at Mo Xi, followed by the princess, and one of them exclaimed, “My grandmother’s arse! They're identical!”

“Are you saying they're identical to your grandmother’s arse?”

“I don’t talk with fools.”

“You looking for a fight?”

…

Two of them began arguing.

The other four men's gazes darted back and forth between the two ladies.

“My princess, she truly resembles you.”

“Yeah. She looks a bit prettier than you.”

Black streaks crossed the beautiful woman’s face. “Shut your mouth if you have nothing better to say!”

But even she had to admit that the woman was more seductive than her in terms of feminine charm. That infuriated her.

Hmph, beauty is only skin deep. I dare you to fight me! There’s no way I’d lose to the likes of that woman!

Seeing that he had convinced them, Zu An recalled Mo Xi back into his void space. Perhaps he was overthinking it, but for a brief moment there, he sensed Mo Xi’s reluctance. Still, he didn’t have the energy to think deeper into it.

He turned to the beautiful woman and asked, “Can you answer my question now?”

“Who is that woman? She resembles me a lot,” the beautiful woman said, still shaken up by her encounter with Mo Xi.

One of the men grinned. “She’s prettier than you.”

“Shut up!” The beautiful woman’s eyelids twitched. She had always been proud of her appearance, which won her the title of her race’s number one beauty. She hadn't thought she would lose in the field of beauty. That frustrated her greatly.

I should never have asked in the first place.

Zu An grimly asked, “Shouldn’t you answer my question first? Or do you not plan to keep your promise?”

The beautiful woman huffed in anger, “Don’t talk nonsense. We of the Asura race always keep our promises. We aren’t like you cunning humans.”

“Asura race?” Zu An was taken aback. He hadn’t expected them to be from the legendary Asura race. He first looked at the beautiful woman, followed by the other hideous men, and realization dawned on him.

There were legends that the Asuras were a warring race who often fought with the gods. Asura men were hideous, but Asura women were so beautiful that even gods coveted them. There were also stories that their strength could be determined by how many arms they had. No wonder they had so many arms.

Zu An had never expected to meet members of the legendary Asura race in person. Why would they appear in the underworld?

“I am the current Asura King’s little sister, which is why they address me as princess. I am Ni Huang. Are you satisfied now?” the beautiful princess introduced herself to Zu An.

“What are your ties with the Shaman race? I overheard your conversation, and it sounds like you have a grudge with them?” Zu An asked curiously. The Asura race in the legends had fought with the gods, so why would their rivals suddenly become the Shaman race?

“How rude. I have just introduced myself, so shouldn’t you do the same too?” Princess Ni Huang snorted.

Zu An was stunned.

He didn’t want to reveal his true identity in this time period, but this Asura lady would surely blow up if he concealed his identity the way he had with the Mermaid Queen and the Peacock Princess. They hadn't interacted much yet, but he already had a grasp of her temper. So, he intended to fake an identity, but it had to be a reasonable one.

A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind, and he said, “I am the Necropolis Emperor.”

He assessed their reactions in an attempt to gather some information.

The others were stunned. Princess Ni Huang sneered, “Your name is Necropolis? What a weird name. You are arrogant to proclaim yourself an emperor though.”

Her words confirmed that the Necropolis Emperor didn’t exist in this world, causing Zu An to think,

How bizarre.

“Answer my question. Who is that woman to you?” Princess Ni Huang asked, intrigued. “You were ordering her around. Is she your slave?”

She couldn’t help but wonder if he had done anything weird to that woman who looked just like her.

Isn’t that almost like me being violated?

The thought of that made her uncomfortable.

“Slave?” Zu An frowned. He had no idea why she would think that. “No, she’s my comrade, my companion, and my friend. She is no slave.”

Those descriptors brought a subtle smile to the sleeping Mo Xi’s face. The sleeping Daji revealed a faint smile too.

“Why did she suddenly appear and vanish? It’s almost as if she’s your summon.” Princess Ni Huang frowned. The earlier sight had been a huge shock to her.

“I can summon her because I signed a special contract with her. Rest assured, we are in an equal relationship. There’s nothing else going on,” Zu An replied.

Princess Ni Huang’s face reddened. She felt embarrassed that the other party had seen through her thoughts.

“You haven’t answered my question yet. What’s your relationship with the Shaman races? Why did you… emerge from the Eye of the Ocean?” Zu An asked as he looked at the abyss.

“This involves some confidential information. We can’t share it with you, but our Asura race believes in the sanctity of battle. Before deciding whether to answer your question, let me see if you are qualified to call yourself an emperor.” Princess Ni Huang revealed a charming smile as she drew a spear and thrust it toward Zu An.
