Chapter 518: The Thousand-Year-Old (39)
What is this? Gu Li looked at Wen Wan blankly. Wen Wan had already pushed people out to sign up without hesitation. As for herself, she naturally had to go too, to join in the fun. Husband and wife working together, the couple could create hype later, which would also generate buzz. This was a thousand taels! Although she wasn't short of money, who in this world would refuse a thousand taels?
Gu Li saw the expectant look in Wen Wan's eyes, like a little money-grubber, and smiled. She clearly had no shortage of money, yet she was happy because of it. She was a very easily satisfied person.
Both of them quickly registered.
Gu Li passed the moment she showed her face, which made the others resentful, but no one objected, after all, her face was truly stunningly beautiful!
As for Wen Wan, she also benefited from the situation and got by without doing anything.
"Do you have a place to stay?" the man who invited them to sign up asked. These two were his future money-making gods, so he had to keep a close eye on them.
"Yes, we are staying at the Liyue Inn."
The man took out a booklet. "This contains the contents and process of previous Flower Fairy Contests. Since you are new here, it will help you understand the Flower Fairy Contest."
Wen Wan took it, and sure enough, it was a thick stack.
Thanks.
Afterwards, the three of them went for a walk outside. Wen Wan handed the booklet to Gu Li, thinking that Gu Li was so smart that it would be much easier for him to remember this than for her.
In conclusion, this Flower Fairy Contest is almost identical to modern beauty pageants. First and foremost, looks matter, and Gu Li is bound to win, after all, she has a divine beauty that even she herself marvels at.
Secondly, look at talent.
Wen Wan wasn't worried about this at all. Gu Li was best at reading, and not only that, she could also play the piano, paint, and play chess.
In short, there's nothing he can't do. It's unbelievable how he can learn so much, especially considering how he was mistreated by his aunt's family and still managed to grow up to be so outstanding.
If it weren't for that incident at the palace, Gu Li would have been a shoo-in for the top scholar in the imperial examinations, easily becoming a powerful minister and living a life of glory, instead of staying by my side as an unknown eunuch.
Besides looks and talent, there's one last thing: national popularity.
In other words, it's a vote: each citizen of Liuhua City has one vote, and the one with the most votes wins.
This is a disadvantage for Gu Li, because many of the contestants are practically celebrities who have accumulated a lot of fans, so they naturally won't hold back when it comes to voting.
They were newcomers, which put them at a disadvantage.
However, the Flower Fairy Contest will last for five days, which gives us plenty of time to come up with a solution.
Moreover, beauty is the primary driving force, and Wen Wan simply doesn't believe that Gu Li's face can lose.
Soon, the first day of the Flower Fairy Contest arrived.
The talent scout, whose real name was Uncle De, came to the inn to find them. When he saw that the two of them were dressed and made up almost exactly the same as when he first met them, he was stunned. "Why aren't you ready yet? First impressions are so important. Clothes make the man, and even though you two are good-looking, you can't be so casual about it."
Wen Wan: "Don't worry, we've already prepared."
"real?"
Xiao Cui said, "Of course, my mistress is very famous in the capital. Everything she does is praised, let alone in this small Liuhua City."
Wen Yan: "..."
"Keep a low profile, don't be so high-profile."
Xiao Cui: "That's how it is."
Uncle De was half skeptical and half trusting. When they finally arrived at the competition venue, surrounded by a dense crowd of beautiful women and handsome men, Wen Wan felt as if she had arrived in heaven, and her entire soul had been saved.
If it weren't for facing Gu Li face-to-face every day, Wen Wan really wouldn't be able to stand it.
"We're going to wipe out half the players in this first match, so you guys better do your best!"
Although he felt that these two shouldn't be unable to make it past the first round, he didn't know their backgrounds or whether they were only good-looking and knew nothing else.
That could cause some trouble.
Wen Wan took a look and saw that it was divided into sections.
Divided into the Flower Fairy Zone and the Flower Prince Zone, Wen Wan never expected that she would actually be going to the Flower Prince Zone and competing with a bunch of handsome men. Wasn't this like falling into a honey pot? Wen Wan agreed without hesitation and was even very impatient.
Then Gu Li grabbed her wrist. "What's wrong?"
"This is my first time participating in this kind of competition, and I'm a little worried."
Wen Wan: "Don't worry, you should have confidence in your face."
Gu Li leaned closer to Wen Wan and said, "But I'm not a woman, I'm afraid I'll be exposed."
Wen Yan: "..."
"How about I go with you? The Flower Prince's match is in the afternoon anyway," Wen Wan asked Uncle De, who had no objection.
After all, they are a loving young couple, so it's normal that they don't want to separate. Besides, this is the only match they're playing separately; the following matches will all be played in the same venue, so they won't have to be separated then.
Wen Wan followed Gu Li to the competition venue, and Xiao Cui followed as well, but she was unusually silent. Her mind was in a mess, and countless thoughts were running through her mind.
Seeing Gu Li holding her master's hand, Xiao Cui felt that something was not quite right. Weren't the master and Gu Li getting too close? After all, there were countless people watching in the palace, but they were already far away from the palace. Wasn't holding hands going a bit too far?
Does Gu Libie really have some thoughts on this?
That won't do. How can a eunuch be worthy of his master?
Xiao Cui decided to give Gu Li a private warning, telling him not to have any improper thoughts.
They were all beautiful women, representing all styles, and each one had impeccable makeup and styling.
Many people are still wearing makeup, since apart from a few people who have their own professional makeup teams, most of them are just makeup artists who are there for the competition.
Wen Wan quickly pulled Gu Li to a spot and then began to do Gu Li's makeup and hair.
However, she also had to avoid exposing Gu Li's pretense, so it was Gu Li herself who did the work on her face, while she was just giving instructions.
Xiao Cui's hairstyle is on.
Xiao Cui wouldn't make things difficult for Gu Li in this regard, after all, her master would be very upset if she failed.
So, under Wen Wan's guidance, after the makeup was done and the hair was styled, Wen Wan covered it with a thin veil. "We can't reveal this beforehand, so as to shock people. We have to win from the start."
Gu Li: "..."
Xiao Cui: "..."
Seeing her master like this, Xiao Cui swallowed her words again. As for Gu Li, he was happy to see Wen Wan's happy face. If he could, he would like to see her happy forever.
Uncle De, who witnessed everything, was completely shocked. He decided to go back that night and add more money to his bets. With so many people betting on those famous players, he was sure he could make a fortune. The thought excited him greatly. He then became even more attentive, making all sorts of arrangements, including getting tables, chairs, and tea. It cost a lot of money, and it would be a lie to say he didn't feel the pinch. But considering the rewards that would follow, everything he did was worth it.
