Chapter 134: Chapter 134 - 128: Stunning the Entire Audience!
Shen Qingli couldn’t wait to let everyone see how disgusting this ugly face is!
But in the next moment, as the robe fell, her smile suddenly froze, looking worse than a ghost’s cry.
Shen Qingli retreated several steps in fright, unable to believe it. How could this be possible?!
It wasn’t the imagined obesity and ugliness, covered with pimples and pustules.
Shen Tang stood tall and graceful, with fair and clean skin, a delicate and gentle face, and long, shiny black hair cascading down her waist like seaweed.
She wore a deep blue fishtail dress that outlined a full and sensual waist, with the fishtail cascading on the ground like a galaxy, making everything else pale into insignificance.
The beastmen who originally planned to laugh were all dumbfounded, and the scene fell into a deathly silence.
Xiao Jin stared dumbly at the graceful silhouette on the stage, his Adam’s apple moved, and suddenly an impulse welled up inside him, wanting to snatch her down so no one else could steal a look.
Shen Li’s charming fox eyes also showed a momentary daze.
He recalled last night, it wasn’t an illusion.
So this was her intention.
Heh, Xiao Tang indeed knows how to surprise people.
Lu Xiao, having returned from the family, went through the process of reinstatement, which delayed him, and did not return last night but came directly to the ceremony venue to join Xiao Jin and others this morning.
Lu Xiao watched the figure on stage intensely, his breath slightly stagnant, and waves appeared in his usually calm heart.
The most shocked of all was Jia Lan.
He stared at Shen Tang on the stage with her deep blue fishtail skirt, eyes deep like a turbulent sea, roiling with waves.
Eldest Prince Shen Xu also stared fixedly at Shen Tang, his thin lips pressed tightly, his face full of astonishment.
The sister in his impression was clearly an ordinary-looking ugly duckling, how could she become so beautiful?
Who knew if it was just a few seconds, a few minutes, or even longer.
Only then did the beastmen come back to their senses from the shock.
Foreign envoys stood up, holding their wine glasses, exclaiming with praise, "Truly as beautiful as a goddess descended to earth, even more beautiful than the rumors!"
Some puzzled envoys asked, "Is this beautiful and noble female the Empire Princess being crowned today?"
"No, she is the exiled late Princess Shen Tang, the one in white beside her is the True Princess being crowned today."
"But why do I feel this female in a deep blue fishtail skirt is more stunning in appearance and demeanor than the one in white, more like a noble and beautiful princess."
"Yes, she seems to have a kind of magic that makes me unwilling to look away and want to gaze at her forever."
"She is indeed too beautiful, and this beautiful fishtail skirt is so noble and elegant that even the True Princess beside her pales in comparison."
"If you hadn’t said anything, I almost forgot who the True Princess is onstage."
"Me too, I had no mood to look at that Princess Shen Qingli."
"..."
The whispers from the audience reached Shen Qingli’s ears, nearly making her explode in anger.
Her fists in her sleeves clenched tightly, nails dug deep into her palms yet she felt no pain.
Shen Qingli stared venomously at Shen Tang, refusing to believe this was real.
How could this bitch not only not become ugly but become so beautiful?
The smile on Shen Tang’s face seemed to mock her stupidity and ignorance, Shen Qingli’s eyes burned with rage, wishing she could rip apart her face!
The Emperor and Empress also came back to their senses from the shock, looking stunned.
Shen Tang had a very ordinary appearance, even if she hadn’t become ugly, how could she blossom into such beauty in just one year?
What happened halfway through?
Despite her rage, Shen Qingli retained a shred of reason, quickly signaling to the beastmen arranged below the stage.
Soon, a voice of doubt emerged from the crowd, "No way, she’s not Shen Tang, she must be a fake!"
"Yes, we’ve seen photos of the late Princess, she doesn’t look like this at all!"
"You must be fake, definitely Shen Tang’s stand-in!"
More and more instigating voices rose, accompanied by doubts, eventually turning into curses.
"Imposter, get off the stage!"
"Hurry and bring out the real Shen Tang, the ugly monster!"
Shen Tang’s smile remained unchanged; she had foreseen this scene long ago, knowing Shen Qingli would make sure she faced ruin.
Mere beauty wasn’t enough to convince the crowd.
Shen Qingli could easily use various reasons to slander her.
Shen Tang swept her gaze over the furious beastmen below, smiling slightly, "I am the Empire’s late Princess Shen Tang, anyone with doubts can come up and verify with me face to face!"
At the same time, she used the charm buff "A Moment of Dazzling Beauty."
The doubtful voices below the stage vanished instantly.
The crowd’s eyes fluctuated violently, suddenly feeling their bodies heat up, blood surging, hearts pounding!
Shen Tang’s gentle voice felt like a breeze brushing against their faces, capturing their souls.
Henceforth, they harbored no doubts about anything she said.
That’s right, she was the real Shen Tang, the Empire Princess Shen Tang!
The beastmen even felt an impulse to worship and submit!
Young beastmen looked at Shen Tang with eyes filled with extreme fervor and love, transforming instantly into beast form and kneeling on the ground, expressing submission and proclamation of affection.
Someone in the crowd shouted,
"Princess!"
Soon, more and more people shouted,
"Your Highness!"
"The only princess in my heart!"
"My love!"
Shen Qingli trembled with rage, grinding her teeth to dust, almost going mad with anger.
This was her coronation ceremony; she was supposed to be the focus of everyone’s attention, the Empire’s only princess!
Were these beastmen crazy to recognize this impostor as a princess!
Shen Qingli finally understood that she had been toyed with by this bitch, trapped in her cunning plot!
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Shen Qingli disregarded the planned elaborate ceremony.
She quickly took off her veil, forced a smile, "Thank you all for attending my coronation ceremony, I am the Empire Princess Shen Qingli, I will never betray your trust and will lead the people of the Empire towards a beautiful future!"
Then, some turned to look at her, whispering.
"Oh, she’s the Empire Princess, I almost made a mistake just now."
"Princess Shen Qingli certainly didn’t exaggerate, she is quite beautiful."
Shen Qingli indeed possessed enough beauty and had reason for confidence.
Black hair, snow-white skin, graceful body, especially the soul-stirring peach blossom eyes, pure and beautiful, a rare beauty in the mortal realm.
But, the world remembers only the first, rarely paying attention to the second.
The beastmen had already experienced a strike of beauty, and Shen Qingli’s beauty appeared rather flat in contrast, far less exciting compared to the stunning contrast brought by Shen Tang earlier.
This didn’t reach the breathtaking level Shen Qingli imagined, meant to stun the Empire.
Many beastmen’s gazes still lingered on Shen Tang, infuriating Shen Qingli to the point of explosion, today should have been her coronation ceremony, yet this bitch Shen Tang stole all the limelight!
Xiao Jin, Lu Xiao, and Jia Lan didn’t spare Shen Qingli a glance.
Their gaze remained on Shen Tang throughout, unable to see any other scenery.
Shen Li glanced at Shen Qingli indifferently, seeing her embarrassed and angry expression, his lips curled into a playful smile, and he turned his gaze back to Shen Tang, eyes filled with admiration.
Xiao Tang had truly become more and more beautiful.
Enough to rival the Empire’s True Princess.
Recalling the tasting of that night, his fox eyes darkened slightly, and he suddenly wanted to try again.
Xue Yinzhou watched the stunning Shen Tang on stage, his furrowed brows relaxed, snake eyes flashing with surprise.
But when he thought of something, his eyes dimmed, and he turned away.
Meanwhile, Shen Tang’s mind received a system notification,
"Host, I detected Xue Yinzhou’s aura fluctuation, he is also on site!"
