âCloudcenter Commandery?â Zu Anâs eyes narrowed. He hadnât expected such a coincidence. It seemed this trip to Cloudcenter Commandery was one he had to make no matter what.
Xiao Jianren asked, âSir Eleven, will your respected self remain on this ship? Sir Sang arranged a boat for you. Should I guide you there?â
Zu An shook his head. âThereâs no need. I have another mission, so I wonât be staying on this ship.â
Fortunately, the Embroidered Envoy had been mysterious to begin with. Those of lower ranks couldnât really question the actions of those of higher ranks. Otherwise, it wouldnât be so easy to fool others.
After some hesitation, Xiao Jianren asked, âIf something happens, how do we contact sir?â He just couldnât feel peace of mind if the other party was never with them.
âIâll return to the ship from time to time to interact with you. You just need to give me a report then. If there really is some emergency, Iâl know when to arrive promptly.â Zu An replied in a serious tone.
Xiao Jianren was shocked. Sir Eleven getting on and off the ship at his own convenience is something I can understand, but if something urgent happens, how can he immediately react if he isnât on the ship?
But he knew that all golden token envoys had extraordinary methods. Even though he was suspicious, he didnât think about it too much and replied, âUnderstood!â
âThen Iâll be leaving first.â Zu An was about to leave, but when he noticed the books on the table, he stopped and said, âI advise you to just read during the day. Reading at night will damage your eyes.â
âThank you for your concern, sir.â Xiao Jianren bowed. That was something easy to say, but hard to do. Only at night could he have some peace and time to himself. It would be a bit of a waste if he didnât use that time to read.
After Zu An left the room, he took a bit of a detour. When he was sure that no one was following him, he then returned to his own room. He changed out of his Golden Token Eleven uniform and began to think carefully to himself. Once or twice like this was fine, but there would easily be problems if he continued to switch places. After all, whether it was Sang Hong or Xiao Jianren, they were both meticulous people.
After thinking for a bit, he suddenly thought of something. He summoned Daji.
Under the quiet moonlight that scattered through the window, it almost seemed as if there were a glistening mist swirling around her. She really was too beautiful for this world. Her long and foxy eyes added a bit of a charming feeling to her otherwise untouchable and aloof aura. It made her look pure, yet also seductive.
âItâs a pity that youâre like a lotus flower. You can only be admired from afar and not played with.â Zu An felt gloomy. However, that was something he had already accepted, so he didnât dwell on it. He took out a set of clothes and gave it to her, saying, âChange into this.â
Daji gave him an indifferent look with her alluring eyes, but then she decisively ignored him.
Zu An was speechless. Whoâs the real master here? He took a deep breath and put on a kind smile, saying, âYou donât need to take off any clothes. Just wear this over your current outfit.â
After some hesitation, when Daji realized that she didnât have to take off her clothes, she didnât have any more feelings of rejection.
âIâll help you!â Zu An exclaimed, overjoyed. But Daji immediately took a step back and looked at him vigilantly.
Zu An was speechless again. He knew she was rejecting any form of physical touch from him. He thought to himself, I can give you an order through just a thought, so to a certain extent, arenât we already spiritually linked? Your head is already in my shape, and yet youâre still so on guard against me. Is there really a need for this?
âThen put it on yourself,â he said as he turned around. He pulled over a chair and sat down gloomily. A while later, the sound of rustling fabric faded. Only then did Zu An turn around. His eyes immediately widened.
Daji was dressed in a well-ironed uniform, embroidered with meticulous patterns. The feeling she gave off was completely different. If she had previously been more like a goddess who fell to the human world, or like a seductress who brought down an entire country, that charm had now completely changed. Instead, she now looked valiant and formidable, like a female prosecutor or an attractive policewoman⦠Zu An thought, Ahem, I need to stop right here before I go too far.
After a while, Zu An took out the Golden Token Eleven mask and put it on Daji. He sighed in amazement, exclaiming, âSimply perfect!â
At first, he had been worried because she was wearing a dress underneath, and thought it would look a little strange with the Embroidered Envoy uniform over it. He had thought that would easily cause problems.
He had no idea what Dajiâs white dress was made of, but it was almost as if it didnât exist. The uniform still fit her perfectly well. Her build had been smaller to begin with, but because her chest took up too much space, together with the dress and uniform, her figure seemed more similar to his.
âIs her chest area a bit too much?â Zu An thought while propping up his chin. However, he quickly dispelled that thought. He had already tempered his body several times with primordial ki, so he was quite muscular himself. Even if that area was a bit larger than his, the others werenât all that familiar with Sir Eleven anyway, so they wouldnât notice anything strange.
But Dajiâs height was a problem. Even though she was tall, she was still a bit shorter than him. He thought for a bit, then fiddled with the Brilliant Glass Bead for a while before tossing over a pair of modified shoes, exclaiming, âLord Huang Xiaomingâs shoes of blood, sweat, and tears! Being taller isnât just a dream!â[1]
Daji looked away. She didnât know who this Lord Huang was, but she still wore the shoes. Of course, she didnât take off her own shoes. She just put them on with her own shoes inside.
Zu Anâs eyes twitched. He probably couldnât wear these shoes again. Fortunately, he didnât lack extra pairs of golden token envoy shoes. However, he nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Dajiâs height was about the same as his own now. âNot bad, not bad. Take a few steps around for me.â
Daji wouldnât refuse such simple orders. She stepped forward with her long legs. However, because of her new shoes, she wasnât too used to it yet, and she almost fell down.
âBe careful!â Zu An subconsciously moved closer to support her. But unfortunately, Daji reacted faster. Her palm spread out a bit, and she forcefully stabilized herself.
Zu An withdrew his hand unhappily, saying, âIâm your master; Iâm not a wolf. Do you really need to be so apprehensive about me?â
Daji ignored him. She continued to try to walk. She was a powerful cultivator in her own right, and so she quickly found her balance. She was able to walk in the shoes as if she were walking normally.
Zu An was happy at first. To a certain degree, the shoes could be considered high heels. As expected, the way she walked was graceful. However, he quickly realized something.
âHey, donât move your butt when youâre walking.
âDonât let your waist sway back and forth either.
âCan you not act so flirty? How am I supposed to face anyone again if someone catches you walking like that?â
â¦
Zu An finally fixed some of Dajiâs natural habits after great difficulty. The way she walked looked a bit more normal.
Afterward, he had her change her hairstyle a bit too. He didnât have to worry about the length, because just like Ancient China, men and women both had long hair. The main issue was Dajiâs hairstyle. Letting it flow down naturally the way she did normally was purely a feminine style.
After another few hours, it was finally passable.
âNext is your cultivation,â Zu An muttered to himself. Even though the worldâs impression of his cultivation was around the sixth or seventh rank, his real strength was far above that. However, Daji had just broken through to the sixth rank, so hers was a bit too low.
When he thought of that, he brought out the Rage point system. It had already been a long time since he pulled the lottery. He had a total of 118,815 Rage points. He frowned in dissatisfaction when he saw that. He really was slacking off! He had only earned this little bit?
Could it be that the higher my cultivation climbs, the more I instinctively refuse to be as shameless?
I mustnât forget my roots!
After praying for a bit, he began to pull the lottery.
With 118,814 Rage points, he could pull a total of 1188 times. The light indicator continued to flicker around, but it never stopped on the keyboardâs letters. Zu An could only acknowledge his fate there.
However, while he was feeling gloomy, the final result appeared. His eyes widened. He had pulled a total of 389 Ki Fruits!
After all, with the average rate, he was only supposed to get a bit over a hundred Ki Fruits. Yet today, he had gotten three times the amount! Wasnât his luck insanely good this time?
Zu An fed the Ki Fruits to Daji. Daji sat down to meditate, and her aura quickly became stronger. She went from the bottom of the sixth rank to the fourth step. Even though it was still a bit low, it wasnât so bad anymore.
Iâll call her out to use her as Golden Token Eleven one day. I wonder if itâll be enough to fool everyone.
