Chapter 1346 The World Upside Down

Daphne finally let out a small sigh of relief.

She had never lacked money in her entire life.

But stepping into this realm, suddenly finding herself broke–it felt unbearably uncomfortable,

She glanced toward the stage not far where someone was loudly hawking goods. Bloodshade Fruit could go for two or even three hundred thousand Netheris coins!

Daphne couldn’t help but laugh.

And every so–called ‘handsome‘ man up there looked like a donkey.

She listened closely and watched the reactions around her, piecing them together.

Turns out, the women here with pitch–black skin, bodies like stubby–legged bears, and faces that could scare off ghosts were the beauties of this realm.

At first, Daphne thought people were just watching for laughs, drawn in by curiosity.

But then she heard how they praised those short, dark, chubby women swaying on stage–and she realized the truth. This was their actual beauty standard.
