SHOCKING VENOMOUS CONSORT: FRIVOLOUS MISS
20. Ordinary Failure, Sudden Success II

...🧆🧆🧆...

Ling Chuxi casually walked to the front of the appraisal monument, then bowed lightly to lower Little White at her feet. Then, he got up and calmly placed his hand into the indentation of the monument. He felt a cold breath in his palm. It was not clear to him what material the monument was made of. All he knew was that the monument had been passed down from generation to generation within the Ling family.

As Ling Chuxi climbed onto the stage, a shadow marked the entrance of Ling's ancestral palace. Qin Xiruo, Qin Yumei and their posse had come to observe the tail end of the Ling clan's appraisal ceremony since their ceremony was over. The Ling family servants did not forbid them from entering because Qin and Ling were known to maintain good relations and even have marriage alliances. Given this, of course none of them could prevent any of the Qin clan from entering to observe the ceremony.

Naturally, Qin Yumei rushed to look for Ling Xiaoting. He managed to find her amidst the crowd, but a bad premonition surfaced in his heart upon seeing her pale face. 'Impossible. Could it be that Big Brother Xiaoting did not pass the assessment? It's impossible, right?'

On the other hand, Qin Xiruo's eyes were fixed on the sight of Ling Chuxi on the stage. He stared with a frown. His heart was not calm even though he could not say why. There was a hunch that this was not the same Ling Chuxi.

Ling Xiaoting's sad look worried Qin Yumei a lot, but she did not dare to go and ask him about the results of his assessment. Ahah! He was going to ask Ling Yuanhong about it. After sticking out his neck, he looked at Ling Yuanhong from a short distance away. As he usually did, he waved to call out to her, but Ling Yuanhong did not heed her as his eyes were glued to the stage. Qin Yumei tried and waved to Ling Yuanhong again only to not get a response once more. This made Qin Yumei upset. He rushed to Lung Yuanhong, pulled his arm and angrily snapped, “Are you blind? Didn't you see me calling you?”

“I don't. I am very busy,” Ling Yuanhong replied in bewilderment without even turning to look at Qin Yumei. With dewy eyes, he continued to stare at Ling Chuxi who was on stage channeling his Battle Qi into the stone monument.

"Who is that? Ling Chuxi's? Why are you staring at such an ugly monster? Are you sick?" qin Yumei asked in disbelief as she saw who Ling Yuanhong was staring at.

“You ugly monster! Scram!" Ling Yuanhong's anger flared up when he heard Qin Yumei talking about Ling Chuxi like that.

“How dare you?! Say that one more time, Ling Yuanhong!” qin Yumei shouted in surprise. Quickly, he realized the people around them were glaring at him for making a fuss. His screams must have been louder than he thought. Qin Yumei continued to scold Ling Yuanhong with angry whispers, “You must have gone mad. Do you even realize what you are saying?! Don't you dare show your face in front of me again!” Qin Yumei found it hard to believe that Ling Yuanhong who was usually very rambling on her, had spoken harshly to her.

"good. Get lost now, I don't want to see you,” muttered Ling Yuanhong without looking at him. He waved his hand impatiently as if he was expelling a fly.

Qin Yumei was furious, her body was trembling with anger and her lungs felt like they were exploding. Since when did Ling Yuanhong dare to treat him in such a manner? All he wanted was to ask him if Ling Xiaoting had made it through the assessment, but instead, Ling Yuanhong had spoken to him so rudely before he even had the chance to ask.

What Ling Yuanhong cared about right now was if the monument would react to the Battle of Qi Ling Chuxi. Will it light up? Was it?

A gust of wind blew around the quiet courtyard. The cold breath Ling Chuxi felt in her palm had now surrounded her.

The wind started to blow even louder as clouds gathered in the sky!

The strong gusts of wind distracted the audience from the game waiting on stage for a moment. Those in the crowd were worried about straightening their clothes and combing their wind-blown hair before returning their focus to what was happening on stage. What sight awaits them.

The blunt layer of the stone monument was taken over by the dim white light that shone brighter and brighter and brighter by the second! Finally, the milky white light shone so blindingly that no one watching could open their eyes.

Ling Chuxi reduced the light brightness of the dazzling stone monument by controlling the strength of his Battle Qi as he stood upright in front of him with an open face. His long black hair was wagging his slender figure wildly in the wind. She was absolutely matchless beauty and the sight of her face made everyone breathless. The confidence emanating from his eyes captivated the attention of the audience without letting their focus shift elsewhere. Its features do attract the heart with eyes as clear as spring days with a winter gaze, and lips that are smooth and curved.

Isn't this an amazing sight? An unparalleled sight? A surprise?

Was this actually Ling Chuxi's true appearance?

Needless to say, everyone was dumbfounded. Everyone in the crowd stared with their mouths agape as if they were stupid. It was shocking of epic proportions due to his appearance, and even more so because of his innate talent level.

Ling Yichen herself was stunned despite having seen Ling Chuxi's recovered face several times. There was a stirring emotion in his heart that had not existed before.

Qin Yumei's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. 'Is this really Ling Chuxi? That ugly monster? How did she become so beautiful? How is this possible?!' Jealousy spread within Qin Yumei's heart like wild grass. He turned towards Ling Yuanhong and saw him looking at Ling Chuxi longingly and understood why he was so rude to her before. Ling Yuanhong realized Ling Chuxi's beauty and decided to pursue her. 'Just wait for Ling Chuxi!' thought Qin Yumei to herself as she glared at Ling Chuxi viciously.

Qin Xiruo stood glued to the spot without being able to move. She stared blankly at the bright-eyed beauty, matchless with an incredible level of innate talent on the stage in front of her.

Ling Xiaoting was stunned. Astounded. Whaaat! This is Ling Chuxi. It really is him! Regret and dissatisfaction swelled up in his heart.

The five elders on the stage rose from their seats excitedly, especially the Second Elder. There were tears streaming down her face from the corner of her eyes. 'Chuxi. Oh, Chux. He really did.'

"Chuxi, Chuxi ..." The Second Elder tried to speak but he was too suffocated by emotions. He was very happy and excited, his hands were trembling.

Ling Chuxi raised his head and gave Second Elder a reassuring smile before increasing his Battle Qi strength. The radiance of the monument became dazzling again. The crack! The sound of a judgment monument breaking hit the courtyard!

The appraisal monument that had been used by several generations of Ling family members was unable to withstand the might of the Qi Ling Chuxi Sea and had collapsed under the pressure. The dazzling light faded once the monument was destroyed and everyone in the crowd quickly opened their eyes to see what was happening on stage.

What kind of innate talent is capable of such a thing?

Ling Yichen looked at Ling Chuxi with a complicated gaze. He would not be able to achieve what he had just done. How strong was his innate talent?

The First Elder laughed and laughed and laughed as if he had gone mad. "That's good, that's good, that's really good!" He cheerfully issued an order to the nearest waiter, “Go to the store and grab the big monument now! Go, quick!”

With hasty steps, another stone monument belonging to the Ling clan generation was brought out and placed on the stage. This monument is bigger and thicker than the last. If the previous monument was unable to withstand the Qi Ling Chuxi Ocean, this one should. It would be able to determine the true strength of the Qi Ling Chuxi Sea.
