Chapter 310: Weird Beauty Standards

Bei Feng could feel the corners of his mouth twitching in response. That show of force was too perversely overpowered!
The several hundred to a thousand meters tall mountain was so easily smashed apart in one punch. And from the looks of it, he still had plenty of strength remaining.
Bei Feng also understood by now that this place's environment was completely different from Earth. The Ling Qi here was very abundant, and the gravity was at least ten times stronger!
In other words, something that only required one jin of strength to move on Earth would require at least 10 jin of strength here!
That gravity was also the source of that crushing feeling he felt without the protection of the purple pearl!
As an earthling, he was already used to the environment and physical conditions on Earth. When placed in a place with such vastly different conditions, it was natural that he would encounter some difficulties when adapting to it. If he still had his cultivation, this difference in gravity and pressure would only require him several hours to adjust to. But in his current state, it was fatal!
Bei Feng was quite heavily impacted by the sight. However, he only felt shocked at the power of the attack, and had not lost his confidence in the Bear Form Style.
He could tell that the Form and Will Fist was not such a simple thing. Right now, it was just that his cultivation was too low, causing him to be unable to display the essence of the technique!
If it was in the hands of these people, the Bear Form Style might display a much greater might!
Bei Feng was not worried that these guards would secretly learn the martial technique by observing him practice. Firstly, they looked at him with contempt, clearly thinking that he was too far beneath them for them to be bothered with him. Secondly, the Form and Will Fist was not something that was so easy to learn just by observing someone practicing it. One needed to pair it with the special breathing technique and blood and Qi circulation method.
Bei Feng raised his head to look at the thousand zhang huge black condor soaring high in the sky. This condor was a variant savage beast that Xia Peng had tamed. Its strength was exceedingly great!
Bei Feng held great interest in this world. For some reason, the Demonic Beasts here didn't seem to have unlocked their intelligence yet. Most of the time, they only acted on their instincts, and could not speak or communicate well.
But as he thought of his current situation, he could not help but laugh lightly at his plight. While he was very interested in this world, it actually held great dangers for him! Any random person could squeeze the current him to death with absolute ease.
Two days later, Bei Feng woke up to the cheers of all the people on the ship. He hurried out of the room and came onto the deck.
A magnificent city which seemed to stretch endlessly into the horizon had appeared before his eyes. The city appeared exceptionally glamorous, and emanated a terrifying heaven-suppressing aura!
The ship pulled slowly into the dock and in a short moment, everyone began to alight and rush into the city. As for the other menial tasks, there were naturally left to other professionals to handle.
Bei Feng was like Granny Liu stepping into Grand View Garden. [1] Everything looked wondrous to him. Looks like it was not just that any adult could kill the current him. Rather, any random person could kill the previous him with ease as well!
Even the most common hawkers walking around the port had a heaven-defying aura of blood and Qi energy on their bodies!
Bei Feng felt a deep sense of sadness for the different fates of the people on Earth. Countless martial practitioners fought bitterly with their lives for a chance to ascend to the Xiantian realm back home, while simply the children running about before him already had a powerful blood and Qi aura not inferior to Xiantian Lords!
At this time, he truly felt that the Xiantian Lords and Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts from Earth were really not worth a mention here at all.
"What a terrifying race!"
Bei Feng licked his dried lips with wonder. He felt like a door had been opened in his heart, and his horizons had been broadened significantly!
Back on Earth, he was already considered as a top tier expert. But in this place, he was so insignificant that others disdained to look upon him. The bit of pride he had in his heart because of his achievements disappeared in an instant!
Numerous people were looking at their entourage with curiosity. More accurately, they were looking at Bei Feng.
"Eh? This granddaddy can be considered to have widened my horizons today! There's actually such a short person!"
A middle-aged man slapped his thigh and laughed as he looked at the eight year old boy beside him. Even his eight year old son was taller by Bei Feng by quite a bit!
"Haha, this kind of person actually dares to come to the royal city? He won't get thrown out immediately after stepping foot here, would he? The appearance of this fellow is completely enough to affect the image of our Grand Xia!"
A rough-looking woman with a bulging waist sneered as though she was waiting to watch a good show.
From the side, another person immediately laughed aloud as he heard this. "Madam, you must have just gotten to the royal city, right? Do you know of the phrase "disasters are birthed from the tongue"? Don't you know who's in that sedan chair? That's His Highness the Royal Prince!"
All sorts of discussions accompanied their journey through the city. Xia Peng regarded Bei Feng who was walking outside with a calm expression as though he wasn't affected by the scornful voices at all. In that moment, he nodded his head lightly with appreciation. "Such a person just HAS to be a shorty, what a pity!" A soft sigh came out of his mouth. If it was anyone else who was being looked down upon by the masses in that manner, they would have lost their temper long ago!
But what Xia Peng did not know was that Bei Feng could not even understand what these people were saying at all! The System's translation function required experience points, which he happened to be in low supply of. Naturally, he could not afford to translate these people's words freely.
In any case, while these people found his appearance funny, he also thought they looked exceedingly strange as well! All of them had large waists and rough shoulders.
The group walked like this until they reached a luxurious mansion beside the palace. A servant hurriedly opened the doors and welcomed Xia Peng back to the mansion.
"Little fellow, This Prince intends to gift you with a heaven-defying opportunity. Everything depends on whether you have the guts to grasp it!"
Bei Feng stood awkwardly in the supersized room. He had a strange feeling like he was living in a giant's city. Hearing Xia Peng speaking, he turned his eyes to the latter. "My guts have always been rather big!"
He didn't really have a choice in this matter. Bei Feng was sure that if he rejected the opportunity, he would die without a burial spot in the next second!
"Haha! Good! You are a brave man. Follow me to the royal palace tomorrow. This Prince will marry the prettiest daughter of my royal brother to you!"
Xia Peng's laughter resounded loudly in Bei Feng's ears as he called for a servant to take Bei Feng away for a bath and to tailor a set of suit.
"Ah, my dear elder royal brother, let this little brother see if you still have any hidden trump cards!"
Xia Peng's cold laughter continued unabated in the room.
Bei Feng felt an intense headache spreading through his head. That lunatic was preparing to usurp the throne!
By this point, Bei Feng also discovered that this place evaluated a person based on their height. And his height which did not even reach 1.9 meters was probably the record holding shortest in the entire history of the Grand Xia empire!
Under such circumstances, Xia Peng intended to marry the emperor's daughter to him? Bei Feng was in an extremely difficult position!
"There's no point thinking too much. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Living an extra day is an extra day of hope. As long as I'm alive, I'll at least have a chance to return home!" Bei Feng muttered to himself in a language that only he knew.
Early the next morning, Bei Feng was dressed up neatly in a set of violet gold robes. He himself was naturally very displeased at this arrangement.
But the other party vastly overpowered him, so he could only endure.
Bei Feng was seated in a luxurious carriage pulled by powerful Demonic Beasts into the royal capital.
As for the two royal guards in charge of commandeering the carriage, their faces were completely black as they hurried through the city. This was simply too humiliating. They, as royal guards, were driving a carriage for a midget!
This was the greatest humiliation of their lives!
As long as one had a tall build, even if they were only a commoner, there would be many invisible privileges granted to them by the society. For instance, it would be much easier to find a partner. If two persons committed the same crime, the taller person would also receive a lighter sentence!
If one's height reached or exceeded ten meters at adulthood, congratulations. Countless people would come visiting, requesting for marriage. Not only that, these enthusiastic families would not even mind not receiving any betrothal gifts. In fact, they would even pay money to marry into the guy's family!
