Fu Qingjun encountered this kind of situation for the first time.

Each and every one of the ladies possessed extraordinary grace, with mostly long, flowing hair. Some were icy, some elegant, some alluring. After three thousand years of gene optimization, they seemed to have reached some state of perfection.

They all looked at him with curiosity.

After all, a young grandmaster who was handsome, tall, charming in speech, selflessly righteous, and highly skilled in martial arts, while also owning a watch shop.

Simply a perfect husband candidate.

Even those independent and new martial heroines from the New Continent were very interested and thought it was great to come over here and get to know him.

However, Fu Qingjun's first reaction now was different from before. In a sage-like mode, looking at these peerless beauties didn't arouse any excitement or longing. He merely thought it was a pity they didn't have a bald hairstyle.

The old woman chuckled and said, "Gang Leader Fu, I am Red Granny of the Red Pavilion. Firstly, let me introduce these ladies. Almost half of the renowned New Continent Hundred Beauties of Jianghu have come, which shows Gang Leader Fu's charismatic personality."

After all, the martial arts world is still Jianghu.

There is a weapon ranking, a grandmaster ranking, and naturally, a Hundred Beauties ranking.

It's within reason for those who enjoy stirring things up to list major female heroes of Jianghu, ranking them comprehensively based on martial arts, appearance, figure, and achievements.

Du Guan Town is small, but the outer world of the New Continent's Jianghu is still vast.

"Thank you, Granny." Fu Qingjun maintained a composed demeanor and cupped his hands, saying, "I didn't expect that the noble young ladies of today's Jianghu would regard me so highly."

But he was quite clear in his heart.

The times are evolving, and martial arts families are ultimately being phased out.

The families are racing to connect with the new era, making himself the best option for their transformation!

Strong in martial arts and owning a watch shop, possessing both means he can cater to both the conservative martial arts factions at home and the radical reformists, thus instantly aligning with the desire to recruit him as a son-in-law!

Moreover, when a battle is fought, each family's foundation is exhausted, with more than half of the grandmasters dead on the battlefield, leaving almost no male members, so male grandmasters naturally become in demand.

However, Fu Qingjun had no inclination to talk about marriage at the moment.

But...

These Jianghu beauties all have good genes.

No need to mention Yin Xu, now in the New Continent, families from half of Jianghu have come, if he could capture them all and do hairstyles for them… it would be a big win.

"Since women in Jianghu can't find men to marry, why not shave their heads and become nuns, it would be a good destination too." Fu Qingjun propped his chin, lost in thought, though the current situation seemed like the start of a harem.

"Why marry a wife? Wouldn't persuading them to shave their heads and become nuns be more refreshing?"

"Wouldn't encouraging them to cultivate immortality and pursue long life be better? Relying on what men, you need to stand up for yourselves!" Fu Qingjun's heart stirred, the more he thought, the more feasible it seemed.

The old woman continued introducing various Jianghu heroines.

Fu Qingjun was in no hurry but did hear about some interesting martial arts families, some even successfully transitioned into merchants.

"This is Hu Family's lady, Hu Cai'Er, first in the Hundred Beauties ranking."

The matchmaker introduced: "The Hu Family's ladies always top the Hundred Beauties ranking, cultivating Celestial Fragrance Skill, with martial arts soft and enchanting, giving off a captivating fragrance. It's said that their lineage traces back to the Yin Shang Dynasty, their ancestors once being the concubines causing national disasters."

The matchmaker added, "The Hu Family, in recent years, has developed a perfume brand using the natural fragrance of martial-art-training girls as raw material. It's very popular and has become the most successful merchants in recent years."

Even from a distance, Fu Qingjun could smell the pleasant feminine fragrance.

"Greetings, Young Master Fu." Her appearance was so stunning it seemed otherworldly.

"It truly is remarkable."

Fu Qingjun mused silently.

After a tedious round of socializing, he arranged for the ladies to stay temporarily and went to have lunch.

He had a headache, knowing he had to accompany the old woman through procedures in the afternoon.

"Big brother, are you dazzled by the choices?" Baiyu chuckled.

"Seems so."

Fu Qingjun nodded while continuing to eat.

"Logically speaking, you are already twenty-seven, having reached the Grandmaster realm, with an impeccable martial body, breaking the Vermilion Sand should be of no concern. It's time to start a family."

Baiyu also advised Fu Qingjun to start a family soon.

After all, it seemed reasonable,

Finally reaching the Grandmaster status, shouldn't one marry and have children?

"Of the three unfilial acts, not leaving descendants is the greatest," this is traditional Huaxia thought, and martial arts families focus even more on this aspect of bloodline and martial arts heritage.

Fu Qingjun shook his head, "Although the Jianghu girls coming for matchmaking are of decent realms, mostly in the Bone Realm, some even reaching Great Perfection, none have reached the Grandmaster level. Their Vermilion Sand cannot be broken yet, right? How could they marry?"

If not reaching this level, breaking the martial body prematurely would make it hard for their cultivation to progress further.

"Don't worry, the girls coming are just engaged and will continue cultivating. Everything else is like a couple, eating, practicing martial arts, flirting, only not sleeping in the same bed at night."

Baiyu explained: "Generally, they'll send side-branch girls of the Bone Realm to serve as chambermaids at night to attend to the master... as it's a side-branch, ruining their cultivation doesn't matter, even if they never advance."

Fu Qingjun listened, just sighing regretfully.

The wicked old society.

How pitiful are those side-branch girls, laboriously training to hundreds of pounds of martial body, only to be chambermaids for grandmasters?

"The martial arts world, indeed, has strict rules." Fu Qingjun remarked.

Fu Qingjun thought these side-branch girls could also be a way to absorb living strengths.

"It's not that cruel." Baiyu shook his head, "Those who can endure hardships will naturally continue to be nurtured. Female grandmasters, although having innate disadvantages, are a combat force... but many cannot endure hardships and they think this isn't bad either."

Fu Qingjun listened, yet pondered with some hesitation.

The two continued eating in the canteen when suddenly noise came from afar.

A black car stopped at the entrance.

Click.

The door opened.

A handsome and imposing man, his steps steady, slowly walked onto the street, followed by a woman who resembled Qin Hong.

Even wearing plain clothes, his noble aura was hard to hide.

The Emperor of the martial arts world!

Fu Qingjun, sitting in the canteen, stared from a distance.

"Is the room ready for the meeting with Qin Hong?" Fu Qingjun asked.

"It's ready, the Emperor and Qin Hong will meet secretly now." Baiyu replied, looking into the distance, seemingly seeing such a great figure for the first time too.

After all, it's the current Emperor.

Ten Blades Association, Miao Chun Hall, were only notified to maintain local security and didn't even have the qualification to receive them.

With the Emperor's arrival, the fewer people who knew, the better.

Hence, these local figures were not expected to meet, naturally not conflicting with his matchmaking.

In fact, not only local sects were maintaining order secretly, but the entire Du Guan Town was filled with grandmaster-level powerhouses in disguise, hiding throughout the streets.

A true emperor indeed, his foundations are formidable.

"Let's get off."

At this moment, Ziying got off the car with his sister, speaking calmly: "The New Continent, its customs and traditions are quite unique. After meeting Qin Hong, we could take her to the foreigners' district for a walk."

Beside him, an old eunuch disguised as a servant hurriedly stopped him, anxiously saying: "Your Majesty, you mustn't! This is our autonomous region, going to the foreigners entails great risk."

After all, he is the current Emperor, nominally abdicating, returning the imperial power to the state, a sage king of this era, with a high talent in martial arts and wisdom. Any incident, and the entire Yin Xu will be in turmoil.

"We are only visiting their concession area as merely their allies."

After all, it's just a section administered by the Hawks Kingdom, a Martial Arts Country, where knights speak of alliance.

"I sensed a Celestial God is approaching."

"A God."

The princess was startled.

They encountered a Celestial God while out, and he was definitely coming well-prepared.
