CH 53

Three days later, the banquet was held as scheduled.

That morning, the stylist Doris invited came to the Marshal’s Mansion early to style the masters.

Jin WoWo’s skin was very good. His pores were almost invisible, and his facial features were very delicately aligned. The stylist thought of how to place makeup on his face for a long time but still couldn’t start.

The stylist invited was one of the best in the industry. Even if a person looked ugly, he would still be able to make that person shine using makeup.

But, today he was stumped.

Because no matter how he modified Jin WoWo’s face, it couldn’t match up to the original face and features of Jin WoWo.

Jin WoWo smiled empathetically, “There’s no need to put on makeup. You can just do my hair and bangs instead.”

The stylist breathed a sigh of relief. “You are so good-looking, I don’t dare to touch anything.”

After finishing his hair, Jin WoWo put on a custom-made outfit and tied a bow tie.

Doris was still putting on make-up when she saw the golden snail. She immediately praised, “Oh, look at how handsome our Jin WoWo is!”

Jin WoWo also felt that he looked very handsome today.

The suit was customized according to his figure, looking simple and graceful. Every little detail was added perfectly. With the fabric looking elegant, it looked even better when worn by the person it was made for.

Raymond was sitting on the sides when he turned his head to look at Jin WoWo, eyes filling up with surprise.

“Does it look good?” Jin WoWo proudly asked.

Raymond nodded. “En. It looks good.” He answered with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

Raymond changed into a suit of the same style and was about to tie a tie.

Jin WoWo squeezed the tie in Raymond’s hand and blinked at him. “I’ll help you.”

Of course, Raymond was very happy.

In the past two days, the relationship between him and Jin WoWo has progressed rapidly. Although Jin WoWo hasn’t formally given him an answer, his actions have been very clear about his intentions.

Watching Jin WoWo’s slender and white fingers gracefully flutter between the piece of cloth, Raymond’s chest was filled with tenderness.

Seeing the scene of the two, Doris and Ren looked at each other and smiled ambiguously.

In case Raymond was to take a liking to a subbeast of their family, major families pampered and tended to their subbeasts carefully for the past few days and those that didn’t have a subbeast, picked one or two from their relatives’ families just to bring them over to the banquet.

After all, the huge benefits brought by marriages were limitless.

When the third prince came in, he saw the banquet hall of the Marshal’s Mansion filled with subbeasts. The number of subbeasts present was much higher than that of females, and all of them were dressed up like immortals.

“Oh, such a feast for my eyes today. There are so many beauties but it’s a pity.”

“What’s a pity?” asked a beastman next to the third prince.

The third prince answered, “Unfortunately, Raymond won’t like any of them.”

“How do you know?”

None of these subbeasts were dazzling enough for the beautiful man?

Even he, a beastman who likes females, couldn’t help but stare at several subbeasts.

The third prince smiled mysteriously, “Because Raymond has a different aesthetic from others.”

“What kind of aesthetic does Marshal Raymond prefer?” the beastman asked hurriedly because, today, he too brought a subbeast from the family.

The people around the third prince perked their ears, especially the subbeasts. After all, they tried their best to dress up to catch Raymond’s eyes.

“You may not believe it. Raymond likes people with dark skin, small eyes, and freckles on all over their cheeks.” The third prince said.

“How is that possible?” the surrounding people exclaimed in low voices.

The appearance described by the third prince was already ugly in their imagination. As long as Raymond was not blind, it would be impossible for him to like such a person.

The third prince sneered and said, “Believe it or not, it’s your decision to make. Anyway, everybody already looks like this.”

[STOPPED HERE]

Most people around were dismissive of the third prince’s word. But there were one or two seeds were still planted in the hearts of the audience.

At this time, a female came over. This female was very beautiful. She was elegant and charming, graceful even when she was simply standing and her eyes were especially eye-catching.

“Heller!” The third prince called with a smile.

Heller is the youngest female in Duke Nolan’s family. The Nolans were a family of white foxes, famous for their descendants, man or woman, being very beautiful.

And, Heller by far, is the best in Nolan’s family.

Should the male beastmen who like Heller line up, they could circle the star at least three times its circumference.

Of course, Heller’s family is also top-notch. Ordinary beastmen weren’t high enough to reach her.

As such, people in the empire once believed that Heller, being such a beautiful female and having such a good family background, only Marshal Raymond would be worthy of her.

But, who would have thought? Marshal Raymond actualay likes subbeasts.

If this were not the case, there wouldn’t be much drama among subbeats. After all, compared with Heller, they were still far behind.

“What are you talking about?” Heller asked as she smiled at everyone.

Seeing the smile, the souls of the surrounding beastmen flew away.

Before the third prince could answer, a beastman stammered, “The third prince said that Marshal Raymond likes subbeasts with dark skin, small eyes, and freckles all over his face.”

Heller was startled by the description but immediately recovered. With her eyes casted down, she gave a sly smile and replied, “Oh, really?”

The third prince went up to Heller’s side and whispered, “I ran into Raymond in the virtual mall two days ago.”

“Oh?”

“You wouldn’t even be able to imagine his outfit at that time. He was wearing a vest and shorts that the mall gave to white consumers. He was even wearing a set of fox ears and tail.”

Heller’s eyebrows raised at the word fox, her eyes flashing briefly as an undetectable emotion passed by.

“He was following a subbeast, dressed exactly like him. Raymond introduced the subbeast to me as his partner.”

The light in Heller’s eyes dimmed, and she asked quietly, “Is it that the subbeast you were describing? The one with dark skin, small eyes, and freckles?”

The third prince gave a slight tsk in agreement and said with a serious face, “Heller, don’t think about him anymore. It’s not that you are bad, but that he doesn’t like females.”

Heller smiled softly and said, “I never thought about him that way.”

The third prince gave a wry smile, “You say that but I can see it.”

Heller glanced at him. “You are wrong.”
