The Flower King was slightly taken aback; he had actually praised himself for being beautiful.
It seems that my own beauty is an objective fact, not a subjective construct imagined by others.
At that moment, everyone at the poetry gathering wiped away their tears and looked in Ye Chen's direction.
Then many people began to persuade Ye Chen.
"Master Ye, since you've lost, then keep your promise!"
