Spirit Weapon cleared his throat and said slowly, "The Harmony Technique is actually a fragment... Cultivation has its risks, but according to what you said, it should revert back once you break through... As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Those who cultivate should follow the way of heaven and go with the flow..."
"Go with your sister!" Li Xiaonan cursed. He didn't care about whether Father-in-law was present or not. Biting his lip, he extended his right hand into a claw shape, igniting a blue flame.
"This..." Spirit Weapon stepped back in surprise.
Li Xiaonan sighed. So the Harmony Technique was just a fragment; no wonder cultivating it had been so difficult. The flame was born out of his anxious heart, and its temperature wasn't very high—certainly not as powerful as a Cultivator's True Sunfire. He wondered what use it would be! Noticing Spirit Weapon's unusual expression, he asked, "Does Father-in-law know what this is?"
Spirit Weapon nodded and then shook his head. "It seems... maybe... perhaps... it looks like..."
"Are you going to say something or not? Readers might think we're just filling up space!" Li Xiaonan was taken aback by his own words.
"Nine Yin True Fire, said to be the coldest fire between heaven and earth..." Li Xiaonan interrupted Spirit Weapon, frowning. "I don't care what this thing is! You all tell me what I should do now! How am I supposed to go out in this body?"
He placed his hands behind his back, chest puffed out. Spirit Weapon couldn't help but blush slightly and pulled at the stunned Mei Qingdan. "Old Mei, don't you think... Xiao Nan suddenly has an alluring aura about him..."
Mei Qingdan blushed and dared not look at Li Xiaonan. He bit his lip and nodded vigorously. "Dragon in-law, look..."
Spirit Weapon shook his head. "I can't bear to look anymore... My heart is racing; he's just a little demon!"
"Who are you calling a demon?" Li Xiaonan shouted at the two old men whispering loudly to each other. Anger surged within him as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight, but was stopped by Mei Yingluo.
She patted Li Xiaonan's hand and said, "As your in-law said, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Just think of it as having another daughter; you... just take on this daughter's form for now..."
Li Xiaonan pulled his hand away in panic. "How can that be! My reputation as Li Xiaonan would be ruined! No way! No way! I won't show my face!" He found a corner and began pacing in circles, cursing the creator of the Harmony Technique! Pervert! Total pervert! He had only heard that one had to castrate oneself for the Sunflower Manual, but why had no one told him that the Harmony Technique required the same? And he was still a virgin!
As he thought this, his hand brushed against his lower region, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
The women exchanged glances, frowning in unison as they called out, "Xiao Nan... "
"It's fine... It's fine! I'm still your husband; I just have two more buns now, hehe..." Li Xiaonan laughed awkwardly, looking more like he was about to cry than laugh. He genuinely didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
At that moment, he was neither fully male nor female, seemingly having become androgynous, which was hard for a normally composed Earthling to accept.
The women all turned their gazes toward Ling Kui. With a sigh, Ling Kui slowly crouched down and embraced the somewhat deranged Li Xiaonan, gently calling out, "Xiao Nan..."
"Hehe!"
"No matter what you become, we are all your wives."
Li Xiaonan took Ling Kui's delicate hand and smiled foolishly, "It's okay, really, it's okay. I'll change back..."
"I have a plan!" Lu Nishang exclaimed, clenching her fist and striking her palm.
Everyone was taken aback and stared at her intently. She frowned slightly and pointed with her index finger, saying, "As long as Brother Xiaonan isn't Brother Xiaonan anymore, it's fine!"
"Hmph! What kind of plan is that?" Yun Moyu scoffed.
Li Xiaonan chuckled and suddenly stood up, startling Ling Kui beside her. "Who says it's not a good plan? Just change the name and identity... Besides, with Mother here, what's the difference in having more daughters? I've got it! From today until I break through the Nine Yin Stage, I'll be called Li Xiaobei! Li Xiaonan's younger sister, Li Xiaobei!"
The others rested their chins on their hands, staring blankly at the increasingly hysterical Li Xiaonan.
Now that she had an idea, the next steps were easy. All the girls joined forces along with Mei Yingluo to start reworking Li Xiaonan—no, Li Xiaobei!
With suggestions from the girls and Mei Yingluo personally taking charge, an hour later they smiled at their handiwork while Li Xiaonan looked regretful, wearing a helpless expression.
In front of a full-length mirror stood a graceful woman with her long hair styled up and a simple willow leaf silver hairpin inserted. She wore a silver brocade qipao with a round cutout at the chest that revealed an endless allure. The slit was extremely high; any slight movement from Li Xiaonan would cause her smooth thighs to peek out tantalizingly.
The once unsightly leg hair had long since vanished, leaving only skin as smooth as cream.
Li Xiaonan sighed deeply as a flash of brilliance sparked in his eyes. The Seven-Level Pagoda within him trembled violently; the connection with Chen Yaojin above had weakened to the point of being nearly undetectable. He panicked and exclaimed, "Oh no! Little Jin is in trouble!"
He swiftly activated the Carefree Fan and flew westward, having completely forgotten his current female identity. Fortunately, his speed was so great that any mortals below hoping to catch a glimpse of spring would likely be unable to do so.
The girls were momentarily stunned, and by the time they regained their senses, Li Xiaonan had already vanished.
"Brother Xiaonan... wait! Where did Sister Xiao Bei go?" Lu Nishang asked, biting her finger. The other girls shook their heads; just a moment ago, Li Xiaonan had moved too quickly, and they only vaguely heard that Little Jin seemed to be in trouble.
Li Xiaonan burst out of Qingyu City, feeling the faint connection with Chen Yaojin atop the Seven-Level Pagoda as he flew towards Han Jade City.
He soared into the air rather ungracefully, and the dazzling lights below instantly blinded him. Li Xiaonan stumbled and fell into the city, momentarily dazed. Han Jade City was filled with bald heads, or rather, monks! Was there Buddhism on the Starry Illusion Continent? But why was there no mention of it in the Star Mirage Legend? He had never encountered a monk during his travels until now...
He swallowed hard, shaking his head. This wasn't the time to ponder such things; he needed to find Little Jin quickly!
He mounted the Carefree Fan again and flew low until he reached a building with red walls and golden tiles. Looking up, he saw three gilded characters: "Taigong Mansion." With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he finally located Chen Yaojin, who lay on the ground with a pale face, his form not as clear as before—clearly suffering from severe injuries to his Ghost Body.
Opposite him stood a round-faced fat man in splendid attire and a thin monk dressed simply, holding a Golden Bowl.
The round-faced fat man laughed heartily. "Chen Yaojin, even in death you can't find peace. Today I will have Qing'an Master take you!"
Chen Yaojin bit his lip, struggling to prop himself up with one hand. "Liu Guojun, you beast! You promised that if I took the blame for you, you'd let my people go. And now?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I always keep my word. Aren't they all alive?" Liu Guojun said nonchalantly while picking his nose.
"Alive? You gouged out their eyes, cut off their tongues, severed their tendons—left them to fend for themselves! Is that what you call living?" Chen Yaojin retorted angrily.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but frown, feeling an overwhelming urge to eliminate the round-faced fat man. He glanced at the thin monk, whose expression remained unchanged and indifferent.
Li Xiaonan's favorable impression of Buddhism on the Starry Illusion Continent evaporated instantly.
Back on Earth, his grandmother was a kind-hearted Buddhist who often shared stories about Buddhism and recited Sutras. Even now, Li Xiaonan could still recite some scriptures. He had always held a positive view of Buddhism until he realized that those practicing it on the Starry Illusion Continent were far from compassionate; it was utterly contrary to reason.
"Better to live poorly than die well! Besides, I'm doing this for your brother's sake. If people found out he was the mastermind behind everything, could he still enjoy his carefree life?"
"You’re talking nonsense! Why don’t you admit you’re worried about being exposed for colluding with bandits to steal national silver? I won’t spare Wang Gousheng either; after all these years following him!" Chen Yaojin's hair stood on end in anger; his resentment was palpable!
On that day, Chen Yaojin's bandit hideout was framed for robbing government silver. After their lair was raided, he found himself deep in prison. At that moment, his former leader, Wang Gousheng, knelt before the other bandits, bowing and weeping, claiming it was all his fault and lamenting the suffering of his brothers. He stated that he had connections above and that if one person took the blame as the mastermind, the rest could escape punishment.
Chen Yaojin was a man of loyalty and righteousness, and for a moment, he was swayed by Wang Gousheng's actions. He volunteered to take the fall until the mocking words of the jailer before his death brought him back to reality.
Dying would have been just dying; though he felt rage in his heart, there was nothing he could do as a ghost. However, he encountered Li Xiaonan, who allowed him to return to the living world. Coincidentally, it was very close to Han Jade City, so the first thing he did was seek out his old brothers.
To his dismay, not a single one of them was alive. In a fit of anger, he stormed into Taigong Mansion. With his cultivation at the third level of Swallowing Heaven Avenue, killing enemies should have been as easy as chopping vegetables. Little did he know that Liu Guojun had a living Bodhisattva at home, and he was nearly sent reeling from the encounter.
Filled with resentment yet at a loss for what to do, he could only vent his frustrations verbally. "You filthy Bald Donkey! If you have the guts, kill me! When my boss arrives, he'll definitely chop you up!"
Li Xiaonan smiled faintly as she flipped out her Carefree Fan and swaggered into Taigong Mansion, moving gracefully in the eyes of others.
Liu Guojun disdainfully flicked a booger at Chen Yaojin. "Your boss? Wang Gousheng, that coward, has taken my benefits and is busy indulging himself in brothels every day. Do you think he'll care about you? Dream on! Qing'an Master, quickly deal with him and rid us of this menace!"
Qing An nodded and with a flick of his right hand, sent the Golden Bowl flying toward Chen Yaojin.
With a clang, a folding fan collided with the Golden Bowl, creating sparks.
"Boss... Boss..." Although Li Xiaonan had changed her appearance, Chen Yaojin recognized the stunning woman who had descended from above at first glance.
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly as she noticed Chen Yaojin staring intently at her exposed figure with drool hanging from his mouth. She scolded him sharply, "What a bear! Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have saved you. Wipe your drool!"
"It turns out you've taken a woman as your boss," Qing'an Master remarked. "Look how beautiful she is; she must be a disaster for the nation. Quickly capture her and hand her over to me so I can punish her properly." A sly grin appeared on his greasy face as he spoke.
