"The place where the Emperor selects his consorts!?"
Everyone was shocked, looking at the magnificent Chuxiu Palace before them.
It reminded them of the emperors of ancient Huaxia, who had three thousand beauties in their harems and countless concubines.
They hadn't expected the Emperor of Da Gan to be the same, becoming more and more like ancient Huaxia.
"That's right, it's the place His Majesty selects his consorts!" Wang Hao said, his tone somewhat excited. "His Majesty has been on the throne for a hundred years and has never selected consorts. His harem has always been empty. It wasn't until a few days ago that he issued a decree to select beauties from across the land."
Lin Wencheng exclaimed, "The Emperor of Da Gan only started selecting consorts after a hundred years? That's too... too unbelievable!"
He thought of the emperors in ancient Huaxia's history, who already had numerous wives and concubines when they were crown princes. After ascending the throne, they enjoyed the company of three thousand beauties in their harems.
He had originally thought the Emperor of Da Gan would be the same, but he hadn't expected this Emperor of Da Gan to have been on the throne for a hundred years and only now be holding his first selection of beauties.
This truly lived up to being the emperor of a cultivator; he was different from mortal emperors.
Jack and the curly-haired man listened with immense envy.
Selecting beautiful women from across the country for a beauty pageant was something that all men in the world would surely envy.
Although Jack and the other man had unusual statuses on Earth, with many women throwing themselves at them, it was nothing compared to the Emperor of Da Gan's selection of consorts.
"The Emperor selecting consorts? That's so domineering!" Alice's eyes sparkled with curiosity about the selection.
As a Western woman who had studied in China, she had a good grasp of ancient Chinese history and knew that in ancient China, the emperor held supreme power.
Lin Xue, however, felt strange upon hearing the terms "selecting consorts" and "harem."
After all, modern China had practiced monogamy for a long time, and she wasn't as liberal and open-minded as Alice, a Western woman.
Therefore, she felt a slight aversion to a situation where many women served one man.
"Brother Wang, we can't go in, can we?" Lin Wencheng asked in a low voice.
"Of course not!" Wang Hao said coldly. "Chuxiu Palace can only be entered by female officials permitted by His Majesty. Any other man who dares to approach will be executed!"
Lin Wencheng and the others shivered as they felt the coldness emanating from Wang Hao.
They looked at Chuxiu Palace with reverence!
All the women inside were the Emperor of Da Gan's, and who would dare approach if they didn't want to die?
Alice looked at the beautiful palace and couldn't help but say, "Those who can participate in the Emperor of Da Gan's selection of consorts must not be ordinary people, right?"
Wang Hao replied, "Naturally. His Majesty is exceptionally talented. To be worthy of him, one must be incredibly outstanding."
"Are there many women applying for the selection?" Lin Xue asked curiously.
"Too many. In Da Gan, which woman wouldn't want to become His Majesty's consort? Tens of thousands are eligible to apply," Wang Hao said, recalling the data his daughter had told him.
"Hiss... Tens of thousands! Then the chance of becoming a concubine must be one in ten thousand?" Lin Xue was a bit shocked.
These were only those who voluntarily applied and were eligible. If the gates were opened, wouldn't hundreds of thousands of women participate?
And to stand out from such a crowd, one would have to be exceptionally outstanding!
Lin Xue considered herself top-notch in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, but she didn't think she could stand out if placed in this selection.
Alice also looked surprised, but she quickly understood. After all, she was an international superstar with millions of fans, most of whom were male.
Therefore, she could easily understand the actions of hundreds of thousands of women vying to become the Emperor of Da Gan's consort.
"So, are all the women currently residing in Chuxiu Palace candidates for the imperial harem?" Alice asked.
"Yes," Wang Hao nodded, then his expression became excited. "My daughter is also living inside, and she is currently a candidate for the imperial harem!"
He spoke animatedly, telling Lin Wencheng and the others how amazing his daughter was and how she would surely enter the harem in the future.
Everyone was shocked to hear Wang Hao's words.
They had never expected a soldier's daughter to become a candidate for the imperial harem!?
Looking at his rough appearance, he didn't seem like someone who could have a graceful and beautiful daughter.
"Congratulations, Brother Wang. Your daughter will surely be selected and become a consort," Lin Wencheng offered his congratulations.
Sam and the others also chimed in, congratulating Wang Hao's daughter. After all, saying nice things didn't cost money.
"Hahaha! It's alright. She's just a candidate for now. Whether she can become a consort depends on whether His Majesty fancies the girl."
Wang Hao's joy was evident, and his expression was very excited.
If Fifth Brother wouldn't let him vent, he would vent to these Earthlings, which made him feel much better.
Everyone listened as Wang Hao continuously boasted, saying things like his daughter becoming a consort would mean generals would show her respect and ministers would have to bow to her, and that it wasn't a big deal.
Lin Wencheng and the others initially offered continuous congratulations and flattering words as if they were free. But the more Wang Hao heard, the more pleased he became, and he opened up, his words becoming increasingly boastful.
The others noticed the boastful tone and felt a bit exasperated.
They had seen people brag about their parents, but never about their daughters.
Lin Wencheng couldn't take it anymore and said tactfully, "Brother Wang, since we can't enter Chuxiu Palace, perhaps we should leave?"
"Hmm?" Wang Hao snapped back to attention, then nodded. "Young brother is right, we should leave. We can't stay near Chuxiu Palace for too long, or we'll be apprehended as suspicious individuals."
At this moment, he sensed several sharp gazes fixed upon him. These were the Dragon Guards secretly protecting Chuxiu Palace, and their strength was immense!
Even ordinary cultivators at the Body Cultivation realm would be captured.
Wang Hao quickly led everyone away, not daring to linger any longer.
As they left, Lin Zihao looked back at Chuxiu Palace, his eyes shining with ambition.
He secretly thought: My sister is a great beauty, very pretty. If she becomes a consort to the Emperor of Da Gan, why would I lack immortal techniques?
If one wasn't enough, then add another!
Lin Zihao looked up at Alice, who was holding Lin Xue's hand.
...
Da Gan Imperial Palace.
Xu Mo returned to his sleeping quarters, his heart unsettled.
He had obtained too much information today, making it difficult for him to calm down.
It was now confirmed that the other side of the Boundless Sea of Desolation was Earth. As for why it was Earth, he had no answer yet.
"Only fourteen years have passed on Earth. I wonder how Qin Cheng is doing?" Xu Mo sighed.
