The first stop that the two of them chose was Baihua County, which wasn’t far from Xilin County.
.It could be seen from the name of Baihua County that this county was famous for its flowers.
In the Tianming Summary that Wen Hanshan once threw to Lou Xingyao, the person who wrote it also came here. In the second half of the book, he spent a lot of pen and ink on this county, showing his love for this place.
In the description of Tianming Summary, every household in Baihua County made a living by planting flowers, and there were different types and categories.
Due to this, Baihua County was in full bloom all year round. No matter what time a person visited it, they could see the wonderful scenery inside.
The moment he stepped into the territory of Baihua County, Lou Xingyao smelled a strong scent of flowers.
The floral fragrance was intense, but it wasn’t unacceptable.
Looking closely, he could easily tell that it was mixed with more than a dozen different varieties of floral fragrances.
They were intertwined, not interfering with each other but blending to form a myriad of different scents.
However, before anyone could distinguish it carefully, the breeze blew by and blew away the rich scent that carried more than a dozen types of flowers.
Soon, there was only a light and elegant fragrance left around the surroundings, forming a unique business card of Baihua County.
“It is said that it is better to see it than to hear it. This Baihua County is really special.” Lou Xingyao sighed in a low voice. Just the change in the fragrance of flowers just now was already a wonder that wasn’t found in other places.
In addition, what surprised Lou Xingyao even more was the harmonious and cheerful atmosphere of this Baihua County.
This place clearly wasn’t far from Xilin County. It was only a short three day journey on a second-grade demon beast.
Lou Xingyao originally thought that even if Tianming Summary portrayed this Baihua County very well, it would definitely be affected with some of the atmosphere of Xilin County.
Who knew that the truth was very different from what he thought?
No matter whether it was the colorful flowers blooming on both sides of the road, the relaxed looks on the faces of the surrounding pedestrians, or the cheerful voice of the shopkeeper in the stores on both sides of the road, they all revealed the tranquility and peace of this county.
For a moment, Lou Xingyao even suspected that he had returned to Earth.
This seemed to be a bit incompatible with the background of Tianming Continent.
Obviously, Lou Xingyao wasn’t the only one who had such doubts.
Not far from him, someone asked what was in his heart.
The next moment, someone responded to this person’s doubts.
“What do I think? Do you know what this Baihua County is rich in besides flowers?”
“Nectar?” The man pondered for a moment before replying with some uncertainty.
Nectar was indeed one of the specialties of Baihua County.
There were often people selling it even in Xilin County.
Compared with the nectar of other places, the nectar of this Baihua County was sweeter. It was sweet but not greasy, and had a fragrance to it.
Therefore, even if its price was twice as expensive as ordinary nectar, it was still in short supply on this Tianming Continent.
Even Lou Xingyao often purchased it.
“Wrong.” Unexpectedly, this answer was directly denied. The man immediately said, “It is beauties!”
The man saw that the person who asked the question really didn’t know much about this Baihua County and no longer kept him in suspense. He explained the special features of this Baihua County to everyone.
It was said that beauty was like flowers. This Baihua County might really have different Feng Shui. It wasn’t just that the flowers on its territory were more gorgeous than other places, but even the people were more beautiful.
As the man spoke, four or five young girls passed by laughing. The man immediately stopped talking and waited quietly for the girls to pass by.
The girl’s gestures could be described as brilliant. They were very good-looking and were indeed rare beauties.
The scene immediately attracted the attention of many people, and a man wanted to come forward to talk to the girls.
However, before he could make a move, he was stopped by the person next to him, accompanied by an extremely stern shout, “Do you want to die?’
It was so serious that it was really a bit confusing.
The moment the girls left, the person cleared his throat and continued the topic just now.
Due to the little episode, the people around him became more serious.
It had to be said that beauty was truly a special attribute.
Even in the peaceful era where Lou Xingyao lived in his previous life, beauty alone could be a burden. If a woman happened to come from a poor background with no powerful support, that burden could instantly lead to a dead end.
This principle naturally applied to the Tianming Continent.
Due to the law of survival of the jungle, the result would only be more cruel than in a peaceful world.
This was the case with Baihua County in the past.
Due to the abundance of beauties, it was often coveted by thieves.
At that time, the people of Baihua County had an empty beauty, but their strength wasn’t good. They could only grit their teeth and endure the evil deeds of people.
But silence and patience wouldn’t make the villains feel pity for them. It would only make it worse, and at the same time, attract more hungry wolves.
Due to the increasing number of people who came to Baihua County to do evil, people finally found that engaging in intimate relations with the people of Baihua County could improve their own strength.
The entire county was made up of individuals with a furnace physique!
The moment the news came out, it immediately caused a turmoil on the continent.
There were even more advanced cultivators who forcibly took the people of Baihua County.
In just ten years, most of the people of Baihua County had perished.
The once famous furnaces of Baihua County, known throughout the entire continent, had reached the point of extinction!
The evildoers finally realized too late that they couldn’t fish from a dried-up pond. The crazy plundering of the people of Baihua County finally started to become restrained.
At this point, the narrator chuckled.
It was filled with a bit of mocking, but it still made people shudder.
The man’s emotions came and went quietly. In no time, the speaker had returned to his usual tone and continued the story of the past.
No matter the purpose of the villains, it did give the people of Baihua County a chance to recuperate.
However, since then, the people of Baihua County were more like objects that had been kept in captivity by the elites of the continent.
Among them, those who were very good-looking would be kept by the powerful for their own use.
Those who had the best looks were regarded as expensive gifts, either to each other or to their subordinates.
As for those with ordinary appearances…
“Since the people of Baihua County are famous for their beauty, how can there be any mediocre ones?”
There was a hint of uncertainty in the man’s tone when he said this.
Those who heard this probably didn’t feel anything unusual.
However, Lou Xingyao felt cold all over his body.
It had to be known that bad shoots could grow even from the finest bamboo. No matter how abundant the beauties in a place like Baihua County, how could there be no one with an ordinary appearance?
If those with stunning or above-average appearances met such tragic ends, what about the ordinary looking ones? Were their fates even crueler, or were they simply not allowed to survive at all?
Intuition told Lou Xingyao that the answer might be the latter.
However, the man didn’t give him time to think. He had already continued.
Such days lasted for 10,000 years.
For a long time, even the people of Baihua County had become accustomed to it. They felt like they were born to be the playthings of the powerful, and that they should be the furnaces of the powerful.
This was until one person appeared and broke the situation.
At this time, the man couldn’t help laughing again.
It was just that compared to the previous times, this laughter was more lively.
Everyone seemed to have a hunch that what the man said next might be the focus of what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, the man’s expression became solemn, and he directly talked about the remarkable person who appeared, who would later become known as the number one person in Baihua County, Baihua herself.
Yes, the former Baihua County wasn’t called Baihua County. The lord of Baihua County appeared first before there was today’s Baihua County.
Today’s Baihua County was also named after the former Baihua County Lord.
The county lord of Baihua already showed her future peerless appearance from the moment she was born.
Even the people who used to deliver babies often for the people of Baihua County said that this was the first time they had seen a baby with such a perfect face.
As the county lord gradually grew up, the advantages of her appearance became more obvious.
The people of Baihua County, who were once rated as good-looking by the powerful, were overshadowed in front of the lord.
It was a type of beauty where the man would sink on the spot when he saw it, and a woman couldn’t even feel jealous.
She was so stunning that she naturally attracted the powerful to fight for her.
In the end, those powerful people couldn’t determine the final destination of the county lord.
Later, there were two powerful figures who died unexpectedly in the process of fighting. This immediately aroused the vigilance of the survivors, who were afraid that everyone wouldn’t fare well in the end, and someone else would benefit.
Everyone was forced to stop fighting and renegotiate the final fate of the county lord.
Even so, the remaining people didn’t give in when facing the beauty of the county lord.
After a long struggle, the remaining five powerhouses decided to unanimously own the county lord.
This decision was a great humiliation even for the people of Baihua County, who had already lost their shame.
However, the county lord didn’t care and nodded in agreement.

This is a truly sad and messed up backstory, but I hope the new City Lord manages to turn the tables somehow, maybe by absorbing the cultivation of the five slavers in order to crush all those who oppose her.
Thanks for the update!
