You’re all dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such mine-sweeping searches, it was not unheard of for a single incident to claim over a hundred lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, to this day, throughout the New Nation, every lower-class citizen held an unspoken rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not get too close to those of exceptional beauty; do not linger your gaze on them too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think of your family—you cannot bear the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, none of these beauties had any close opposite-sex relatives or friends, for no one dared such audacious transgression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only these beauties—even Fang Can, with his looks, was the same before his powers were revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Can had long been silently regarded by classmates and teachers as a male Yubei  member of some female superpowered’s harem, with no close friends of either gender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, which aunt wouldn’t be dazzled by a brother like him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning, these women learned their time for tribute had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of what was to come, their hearts held little joy—only dread and fear for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine grace is vast as the sea! Divine wrath is hellish as the abyss! The Heavenly Will is unfathomable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before arriving, they had only been told by staff to obey the superpowered’s orders—everything else was unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To dedicate their entire lives to some unknown superpowered lord—unfamiliar in appearance, personality, and especially preferences—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he enjoyed things that couldn’t be approved? Their future life might be worse than death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the one summoning them might not be male—it could be an older woman jealous of their youth and beauty, eager to torment them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, before meeting the master, fear and dread far outweighed any hope of being chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a blind-box life game—no one knew if they’d draw a reward or a punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Creak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft sound, the door slowly opened, and a figure walked in slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the door opened, they knew the blind box of fate was about to be opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, they rose from the sofa, bowing together toward the door: “Welcome, Lord, home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, their eyes respectfully fixed on the floor, seeing only the figure’s silhouette blocking the sunlight from outside, casting a tall shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This is a male, and a tall superpowered lord,’ the women deduced from the shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, unperturbed by their bows, said: “Hmm. Good morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a voice they vaguely recognized, the man slammed the heavy gilded door shut behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘That voice… I’ve heard it before?’ All three unconsciously raised their heads, gazing directly at the man before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radiant! Dazzling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, their eyes were drawn irresistibly to his skin, glowing white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to his Immortal Sun-Undying Body, excess light clung to his skin, emitting a faint glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outdoors in daylight, the effect was negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside the dim villa, every strand of hair and patch of skin emitted a soft radiance, as if a god had descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, the purer and whiter the surface, the more a single black flaw would magnify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Fang Can’s flawless, luminous skin was like the finest jade—no flaw could be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came his features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of Fang Can’s features, taken alone, could be chosen by an art academy as a model of beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, they formed a gentle aura that did not repel—instead, it drew them in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the man before them, the women unconsciously slowed their breathing, afraid their breath might disturb him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His appearance was worthy of the title “Great Beauty”—so beautiful it bordered on the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ye Qingshi, later ranked among the top beauties by the Celestial Mechanism Tower, had confessed: “If dressed as a woman, I am inferior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even Ye Qingshi, who would later be ranked among the Beauties List by the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, humbly admitted, “If I were to dress as a woman, I could not match her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the women, lost in awe, recognized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this the superpowered lord from yesterday’s live broadcast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defeated the enemy army—represented strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Protected the city—represented goodness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was peerless—represented beauty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A superpowered lord combining strength, beauty, and kindness wanted them? This couldn’t be real?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t drawing an SSR from a blind box—it was a group of R cards being chosen by an SSR.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t this superpowered lord fear polluting his pool by taking them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1070,"2026-06-20T07:05:46.054Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bce8cb84ba6b84bb0be76784bf7564ed84fd50159780f65c8e821b2fdee9362c","this-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-chapter-103","this-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-chapter-101",368,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-high-martial-world-is-too-crazy-cover.jpg"]
