    Default Who's the most beautiful woman in Gu Long's world

    OK, we have reached a concensus that the most beautiful woman in Jin Yong's world is Princess Xiang Xiang (or Princess Fragrance), with Xiao Long Nu taking the second spot.

    But nobody really talked about this category in Gu Long's world. So, who's the most beautiful woman in Gu Long's world ? and why ?

    I haven't read a lot of Gu Long's novels so I wouldn't know the answer. Maybe someone like TigerWong, Junny, or Candide would know ?

    Can anyone give me a description of Shen BiJun from the book?

    Lin Xian Er was described as perfect in every way. Even her voice is captivating.


    Temujin,

    Why do u like Shen BiJun? When TVB was airing Treasure Raiders 2 years ago, there's a lot of talk about this story, and many readers seems to dislike Shen BiJun because of her lack of trust towards Xiao 11 Lang. They all seem to prefer Feng 4 Niang.

    Description of Shen Bi Jun

    (from Chapter 9 of Xiao Shi Yi Lang, translated by Becky Tai)

    Even the title of this chapter represents the beauty of Shen BiJun


    Chapter 9 : Beauty of Beauties


    The door of the carriage opened and out stepped a woman.

    At that instant, everyone froze and held their breath. Never had they seen such a beautiful woman.

    She was not luxuriously dressed, but any clothes would look elegant on her.

    No precious stone could match her splendor, and no expensive face power could add to her loveliness.

    Her beauty was beyond description.

    Some people would compare her to a flower, but no flower could be as glamorous as she was. Some people would say she was like a lady in a classic painting, but no paintbrush could capture the fullness of her grace.

    No goddess in heaven could be as delicate as she. Whoever saw her once.... would never forget her.

    Her presence was surreal. How could there be a beauty like her anywhere else in the world ? It was as if she might vanish with the wind at any moment.

    She was Shen Bi Jun - the most beautiful woman in the Martial Order

    I think they are too different kind of beauties

    Lin Xian Er is more like desirably sexy, beautiful but in a lustful kind of way, every guy can't resist her and want to sleep with her and taste her amazingly perfect figure. She's super hot.

    Shen BiJun is more lady-like, elegant, graceful, classic, upper class upbringing, with matchless beauty. You don't feel like you want to sleep with her if you see her, on the other hand, you would be in awe and would not believe such beauty exists in this world.

    It's like comparing Xiao Long Nu and Madame Ma

    haha I went back to Meh's description of Lin Xian'er. Here's what I got

    A note about chapter 4. The scenes with the young lady were much more descriptive in the book. Gu Long went, in my opinion, way overboard in describing her beauty. Plus its kind of 'R' rated too. I took out mayb 50% of the descriptions. Hopefully, readers can still get the impression that this young lady is really, really, really, really, really, really hot.

    Haha.. Gu Long usually went overboard even with minor characters... Big Merriment Lady Buddha's disciple, the one who got killed by Blue Scorpion, had a hilarious description... something about her being beautiful, but had three chins, and if you cut her in three you would have three beautiful women. I laughed so hard when reading that..

    heh... gotta love Gu Long... he gives details on what matters

    hye... perhaps that chapter blurb should be edited out since Becky Tai IS trying to sell the book and her publishers had requested that only the first 4 chapters stay up online

    Default Beautiful women from Gu Long

    There seems to be so many of them, but who would be ranked as the top etc?

    Just reading LXF, SGFY seems to be extremely good looking too bad she was evil .
    Was SGDF as good looking?

    Aren't they suppose to look the same?

    Anyway, top beauty should be Shen Bijun and Lin Xian-er.

    The original Seung Gwoon Dan Fung was murdered by Seung Gwoon Fei Yin. They did greatly resemble each other, but Fei Yin was said to be slightly more beautiful. This was because Fei Yin, related to, but not herself royalty, could afford to be more overtly seductive whereas Dan Fung, a royal princess, had to observe a modicum of modesty and propriety.

    Fa Mun Lau was initially fooled because Fei Yin, as herself, wore heavy perfume whereas as the fake Dan Fung, she wore no perfume. Fa Mun Lau wasn't entirely fooled, however; he did believe there was something not quite right because despite the different scents, he felt the same "vibe" from both Fei Yin and "Dan Fung."
