Chapter 496: Huangpu Xian’er

I have to admit, the person who initiated this charity evening is quite talented. Even he was somewhat attracted by that gimmick, of course, provided that Lan Yue wants to stay…

“Honey, what’s that woman’s name? She looks really impressive!”

Looking at the dense crowd, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but sigh. The attraction of a beauty is indeed immense. Just this spectacle alone probably rivals any first-tier celebrity’s concert tour. Xiao Yufan’s curiosity grew.

What kind of woman could cause such a sensation…

“I only know her as Huangpu Xian’er. As for other things, I’m not very clear. How, could it be that my husband is already smitten?”

Lan Yue said with a smile, completely ignoring Xiao Yufan’s slightly embarrassed expression. If her husband really had the ability to win over that mysterious woman, she wouldn’t mind, because it would only prove her husband’s charm.

If Xiao Yufan knew what Lan Yue was thinking at this moment, he would surely faint on the spot…

“I don’t even know what she looks like, how could I be smitten? Besides, I don’t think she can be more beautiful than my woman!”

He gently lifted her smooth, jade-like chin, a playful smile curling at the corner of his lips. However, these words, falling into Lan Yue’s ears, carried an entirely different meaning.

Still, upon hearing the name Huangpu Xian’er, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but frown slightly. The surname Huangpu was rare to begin with—at least in the capital, he had never heard of it. Thinking about this woman’s mysterious aura, he couldn’t help but associate her with hidden families.

Xiao Yufan’s current perspective was no longer limited to just a few prominent families or major financial groups controlling the economic lifelines. Having entered the realm of cultivation, he now knew far more than most people could ever see.

At the very least, he knew that throughout China, there were many mysterious places—unassuming, yet extremely powerful. Just like Gong Hao he had encountered before, a member of the hidden Gong family, a name he had never heard of previously.

Suddenly, the venue became even more chaotic. Xiao Yufan looked up and saw a man stepping onto the stage, immediately met with a chorus of boos.

“Get off! We want our goddess!”

“What the hell? It’s a guy? I took my pants off for this!”

Angry curses rained down, and the man hadn’t even spoken a word before being utterly vilified. Fortunately, he had enough composure; otherwise, he would have already fled the stage.

“I know everyone is eager to see our goddess appear, but please wait just a little longer, as Xian’er still has many things to attend to…”

“Fuck! Xian’er is not something you can call her! Don’t you dare disrespect my goddess again, or I’ll make sure you don’t live to see tomorrow!”

The mention of “Xian’er” ignited the crowd’s fury. Several people threw whatever they had in hand at him, and the scene quickly became chaotic. The host on the stage was visibly frightened—this was practically a life-threatening situation.

But given three times the courage, he wouldn’t dare address her so familiarly again. One more word, and the collective saliva of everyone present could drown him…

“Please calm down a bit. Prepare the things you’re willing to contribute for this charity evening, and you might earn the goddess’s favor. Good luck to you all!”

He practically fled the stage. The man was certain that if he stayed any longer, something truly unfortunate might happen. He was merely a scout and had no intention of offending anyone needlessly.

Truthfully, he also wished to obtain the benefits promised to the top three bidders, but he simply couldn’t afford much. He probably could only watch helplessly from the sidelines—he hadn’t even entered backstage, let alone seen the woman herself…

At this point, the venue quieted down significantly. Everyone was silently waiting for Huangpu Xian’er’s appearance, as if anticipating an immortal fairy descending from the heavens.

Not a single person felt discontented. On the contrary, they felt that waiting for this woman’s appearance was an incredibly fortunate thing. Infected by this collective emotion, Xiao Yufan’s lips twitched involuntarily.

Just then, all the lights suddenly converged on the main stage, forming a dazzling halo…

In a flash, a white figure appeared. A woman in white robes had already entered everyone’s sight. Seeing such a beauty, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, completely captivated by her aura.

If Lan Yue was like a forest elf, then this woman before him could only be described as a fairy, dressed in white, drifting like a dream.

Lan Yue’s expression also subtly changed. Though her eyes didn’t hold the same level of infatuation as the many men around her, there was still a hint of astonishment. This woman could only be described as perfect…

That’s right—perfect! The most fitting description for this white-robed woman was nothing less than perfection…

Whether it was her eyes, bright as stars, or her flawless, porcelain-like skin, or her perfectly curved figure, everything about her could only be described as perfect.

What made Lan Yue feel slightly inferior, however, was the unique aura exuding from this white-robed woman—a presence that naturally evoked the feeling that she was a celestial fairy descended from heaven.

Time seemed to freeze. For a brief moment, everyone’s breath caught in their throats. Then, in the next second, the entire venue erupted into a frenzy!

“You all should know who I am by now!”

Huangpu Xian’er’s ethereal voice echoed throughout the venue. Her gaze gently swept across the crowd, giving everyone a sudden feeling of basking in a warm spring breeze. Such a perfect woman was beyond words.

“Huangpu Xian’er…”

Slowly regaining his senses, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but admit that at the moment Huangpu Xian’er appeared, he too had been captivated. However, more than anything, he felt a deep curiosity about this woman, because on her body, he had sensed the ripple of internal energy.

It seemed his guess was right. This woman named Huangpu Xian’er was indeed from a hidden family. Moreover, she was the first woman he had ever encountered who possessed internal energy, and her power was so profound that even he couldn’t fully gauge it.

Shaking his head hard, even if this woman belonged to a hidden family, what did that have to do with him? As the saying goes, if it doesn’t concern you, stay aloof. Although this woman was indeed beautiful—even more so than Lan Yue by a margin.

Sometimes, a woman’s beauty isn’t necessarily a good thing. Take Dongfang Yanran, for example. Although she had become much calmer in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, to many others, she was still a rose with thorns. Therefore, this woman named Huangpu Xian’er—she was untouchable…
