# Chapter 29: Peerless Beauty
As he said this, Jiangnan actually used a brick to draw a line...
Li Xiang and Li Muyan's expressions turned ugly!
Let him have his moment for now!
When the time comes for the Heavenly Pond Spiritual Ruins, Jiangnan will get what's coming to him!
After school, passing by the barbecue stall on the way home.
The business was booming!
A bunch of young punks were standing guard at the stall, and Scarface was enthusiastically helping carry plates?
What the hell?
What's going on?
The moment these guys saw Jiangnan, they all bowed in unison and shouted, "Boss Nan!"
Instantly, whether it was people eating or just strolling by, everyone's gaze focused on Jiangnan...
Jiangnan: "..."
Aunt Zhou warmly greeted, "Xiao Nan's here? Yuqing, say hello!"
Jiangnan asked suspiciously, "These guys..."
Aunt Zhou smiled bitterly, "Don't even mention it. They showed up in the afternoon and insisted on helping. When I said no, they threatened to kneel down. I couldn't refuse..."
"Xiao Nan, take a look..."
Jiangnan glanced at Scarface!
The guy flinched and gave an awkward smile.
Right.
Probably Wu Liang's doing.
"It's fine, Aunt Zhou. Just use them as free labor! If any of them cause trouble, give me a call!"
"This area's pretty rough anyway. With them around, they can keep things under control."
Aunt Zhou: "That would be so improper..."
Zhou Yuqing also blushed, "We don't need that many people! Thank you, Jiangnan Gege..."
Jiangnan affectionately patted her head, "No one's been bullying you lately, right?"
Zhou Yuqing smiled sweetly, "No, they've all been very nice!"
Jiangnan chuckled.
Dare to be anything but nice!
On his way home, passing by Uncle Wang's doorstep, Jiangnan curiously peered into the yard...
He saw Wangcai lying listlessly in front of his doghouse!
The dog had visibly lost weight.
A few female dogs were lined up outside the doghouse...
Then he saw Guoguo, Aunt Zhou's dog, wagging her tail and barking excitedly.
Wangcai replied weakly, "Woof~"
Then Guoguo grabbed Wangcai's tail in her mouth and dragged him into the doghouse...
Wangcai's face was utterly resigned to his fate. Not long after,
Guoguo came out, looking unsatisfied, flicked her tail, and left...
Wangcai had just crawled out on trembling legs when a big wolfhound dragged him back inside again...
Wangcai couldn't resist at all!
Seeing the seven or eight female dogs still waiting in line, Jiangnan shuddered!
Wangcai, you're on your own!
Brother can only help you this much...
Looks like Spirit Leeks really have side effects—lack of stamina, right?
Hmm, it's time to start selling Spirit Leeks too!
Back home, Jiangnan started his compulsive ten-pull gambling again!
After saving up for three days, his grievance value had reached over 310,000!
Then he got another twenty bundles of Spirit Leeks...
Jiangnan cursed in anger!
The third time, he finally got something.
[Thank you for your patronage! Consolation prize: One pair of Hulk Brand Shorts!]
[Congratulations! You won: One Peerless Beauty Pill!]
[Congratulations! You won: One Peerless Beauty Pill!]
[Thank you for your patronage!...]
Jiangnan froze.
Not only did he get a new consolation prize, but he actually got real prizes too? And two of them?
Remembering the powerful effects of the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, Jiangnan felt a surge of excitement.
He quickly checked the effects.
[Peerless Beauty Pill!]
Effect: Improves appearance after consumption, granting you peerless beauty! Flawless!
Jiangnan was stunned.
He had expected a Spirit Bead, or a level-up potion, something to boost strength.
But what the hell was a Peerless Beauty Pill?
A plastic surgery pill?
What did that have to do with improving strength?
No! Looks are a kind of strength too!
After all, the saying goes, "Those with looks always win"?
Living off your face is a skill too!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. Nervous, he sat in front of the mirror and touched his face...
"Well... I'm already handsome enough. There's nothing I'm dissatisfied with!"
But he still took out a Peerless Beauty Pill and swallowed it.
It was sweet, with a hint of White Rabbit candy flavor.
Then Jiangnan felt his face start to itch...
His heart was full of worry.
Was it going to ruin his face?
Was it going to explode?
This damn system had Jiangnan on edge.
Half an hour later, Jiangnan stared at himself in the mirror in disbelief.
Star-like brows, sword-like eyes, a high nose bridge, slightly upturned lips, and dark eyes that seemed to hold the vastness of the starry sea, enough to steal any girl's heart.
His skin was so smooth, fair, and flawless it was almost criminal! He exuded an unrestrained, free-spirited aura.
Combined with his aggressive crew cut, a faint smile was like Cupid's arrow!
No! It was Cupid's Gatling gun! Area-of-effect damage!
The face was still his original face, only with subtle adjustments, yet the change was so drastic!
Jiangnan rubbed his face.
Handsome!
Damn handsome!
He never knew a person could be this handsome!
A girl killer?
A sugar baby for wealthy older women?
With this handsome, face-threatening good looks, he could wipe out any top male celebrity in the entertainment industry!
Love it! Love it!
Jiangnan slowly clenched his fist, his face resolute.
"It's time to buy a copy of 'How to Win the Favor of Rich Women'!"
Then he checked the new consolation prize.
[Hulk Brand Shorts!]
Effect: Bug-level shorts! Can change shape with the wearer's body.
Jiangnan swallowed hard.
In the movies, when the Hulk transforms, he rips through all his clothes except his shorts. No matter how fierce the battle, his shorts hold strong!
Do Hulk Brand Shorts have the same effect?
Amazing! Amazing!
This is a godsend for spirit martial artists with beast transformation abilities!
As for side effects?
It's not like Jiangnan would wear them, so he didn't care!
He'd let Wu Liang test them first!
After all, that image was still burned into Jiangnan's mind...
After a quick glance, there were plenty of styles for both men and women!
At this point, Spirit Leeks also appeared in the system shop, priced at 300 grievance points per bundle!
Jiangnan: "..."
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
A video call from Lang Mie.
Jiangnan answered.
In the frame, Xia Yao was holding Zhong Yingxue's arm, laughing happily!
The area around them seemed noisy, like they were on the street.
"Xiao Nan! Come out for dinner! Xuexue's in a good mood today; she's treating!"
Zhong Yingxue gave a gentle smile, "Xiao Nan, what do you feel like eating today?"
Seeing the two beauties instantly lifted Jiangnan's spirits.
"Where are you two? I'll head over now!"
But Xia Yao pouted, "Xiao Nan! Are you using beauty filters on your video? You must have cranked it up to level 10!"
"Turn it off! Turn it off! You're blinding me with your handsomeness!"
Jiangnan: ???
"I didn't turn it on!"
"Still lying? Xuexue, are phone beauty filters really this terrifying these days..."
Zhong Yingxue rolled her eyes and ignored Xia Yao:
"We're waiting for you at Century Square!"
Jiangnan: "Got it! I'll be right there!"
After hanging up, Jiangnan sighed helplessly.
This... was this really his fault?
Beauty filter?
My beauty filter is applied directly to my face, okay?
