Chapter 148: Chapter 88: The Troubles of a Girl’s Eighteen Changes

Thank you to Purple Satellite for the tip; some folks DM’d me, saying the requirement for an extra Chapter for every thousand in tips has been met. Recently caught a little cold, but with some free time this weekend, I’ll push to deliver more and repay the debt~

Xiao Xian, with her sharp eyes, noticed that the light on Building B’s eleventh floor was out. If someone from upstairs came down and saw her, her so-called lie would be exposed.

"Uncle, are you feeling sorry for these trees?" Pretending to misunderstand Qian Yongcai’s pained expression as one of regret, Xiao Xian said, "Actually, it’s no big deal. If you like trees like these, I can find you an identical one. Just change the soil in the flowerpot, and planting it there will do the trick."

"What, young lady, don’t kid with your uncle. My entire happiness is tethered to your hands," Qian Yongcai dared not covet further, but in his panic, his words still came out with a sleazy undertone.

"Of course, uncle. If you don’t believe me, I can take you... nope, it’s too late now. Tomorrow morning, I’ll take you there." Before that, she still needed to make a trip to the flower and bird market. Xiao Xian didn’t want Qian Yongcai to get suspicious, and with night falling, in the dim light, who knows what Qian Yongcai was up to.

"Alright, uncle will drive you wherever you want to go tomorrow morning," Qian Yongcai said, seeing a ray of hope. His scattered wits came back to him, and before leaving, he couldn’t resist showing off in front of Xiao Xian, too bad she wasn’t some naïve little girl.

After leaving Blue Sky Apartment, Xiao Xian thought about heading to the Guiyang Police Station, but then she thought better of it. Her current appearance, standing in front of Zhu Shijun, would just scare the old man to death.

Xiao Xian touched her pointed face and couldn’t help but feel sorrow welling up. There was nowhere to go tonight, but fortunately, she still had the space, saving her the lodging cost.

With her current appearance, even if chalked up to early maturity, she would still need to grow for another three to four years. To suddenly change her appearance, not to mention explaining it to her grandfather, even Sister-in-law Lian would be scared half to death. And then there were those villagers in Ge Village, if they started gossiping, it would make life impossible for her and her grandfather. Xiao Xian entered the space with a frown, her woeful expression immediately caught by the White Flood Dragon.

"Little mistress, if you don’t like your current appearance, I can teach you a method to change back to your original look. Like me, I can change size at will." The White Flood Dragon seized the opportunity to show off its skills. Today, once it returned to the space, it felt that the Spiritual Energy inside was denser than before. The silver scales on its body had a layer of coppery red glow, probably due to the benefits of the copper space.

But the little mistress was still absorbed in the inconvenience caused by her changed appearance and hadn’t noticed the alterations in the space, the White Flood Dragon, and the "sugarcane seedling."

"I can change. And change again. That Sun Wukong knows seventy-two transformations, and I can manage a good eighteen changes." From Ni Qiu to snake form and then to daytime soaring cloud form, it even transformed into the size of an adult dragon. In fact, the White Flood Dragon privately thought that the little mistress’s current appearance was quite nice, much better than the short and plump look she had before.

However, it dared not say that.

"What eighteen changes, no matter how you change, you’re still just a dragon," Xiao Xian’s sharp tongue cruelly floored Little White Jiao.

Little White Jiao couldn’t possibly have the powers described in the novels; all it could do was change its size, but changing its appearance, or even cross-species, was difficult.

"Besides, it doesn’t matter. I just want to be able to change my look, similar to when I was six... or eight years old," Xiao Xian thought, having a Cultivating Immortal Jiao by her side wouldn’t be so bad.

"That’ll work. This magic of mine is called ’Look at Me Eighteen Changes.’ I came up with it after reaching the Core Formation Stage and having just finished reading ’Journey to the West.’" Little White Jiao explained the intricacies of its magic once over.

"First, you need to circulate energy throughout your body. Spread the Spiritual Energy evenly across all parts of your body, using it to control every part so that you can expand and contract freely. It sounds complicated, but it’s not hard to learn," after hearing the so-called intricacies, Xiao Xian recalled her own tragic days as a failed cultivator.

It had been a long time since she had such an experience. It wasn’t enjoyable, but not unbearable either. With a thought, she felt a green light flashing beneath her skin, flowing throughout her body. Imagining how she looked before her promotion, her body, like fruit dehydrated of water, quickly shrank down in size.

After Little White Jiao finished teaching, worried that Xiao Xian wouldn’t master it, it demonstrated the key points once again.
