He could vaguely see his body changing, his hair gradually growing longer.
His physique was also shrinking, his skin becoming fairer and more delicate.
However, Xin Ci was completely unaware of these changes.
After the blue light dissipated, Xin Ci on the bed had vanished.
In his place appeared a beautiful girl with waist-length hair and a petite figure.
Because her body had shrunk, her clothes looked baggy and loose, clashing significantly, yet they unexpectedly evoked a desire to protect.
The collar of her upper garment had slipped, revealing a snow-white and delicate fragrant shoulder.
The cool moonlight filtered through the gaps in the window, gently caressing the girl's body. Her smooth skin, like white jade, emitted a faint luminescence in the moonlight.
With her exceptionally beautiful features, she looked like an elf fallen to the mortal realm, breathtakingly beautiful.
As soon as she spoke, her voice was as sweet and pleasant as a warbler's.
"Finally, I can breathe. The male lead is truly a cultivation maniac. Ever since he entered the Four Symbols Academy, he hasn't rested. It's only now that I have a chance to come out."
Mu Qingqing stretched languidly on the bed, displaying her soft and proud physique.
Internally, she shouted with excitement, "I'm finally out!"
Ever since she broke through to the third level of the "Myriad Manifestations Star Wheel Scripture," she hadn't had a chance to switch bodies and personalities.
The reason was that Xin Ci cultivated relentlessly, giving her no opportunity to try.
Now, taking advantage of the male lead's hard-earned rest, the control of the body had fallen to her, the second personality.
Mu Qingqing naturally wanted to come out and have some fun. Staying in that consciousness space all day, talking to herself, made her feel like she was suffocating.
Just as she was about to leave the room, she remembered that Li Jianxing might be in the courtyard.
It wouldn't be easy to explain if she walked out like this.
So Mu Qingqing chose to climb out the window. However, after only a few steps, she accidentally stepped on her hem and slipped, landing face-first.
"Ow... my face."
Mu Qingqing had forgotten that although her physique had transformed into a female form, this body was still Xin Ci's.
Therefore, she was still wearing Xin Ci's clothes.
Mu Qingqing stared at her clothes, then a sly smile appeared on her face.
"Heh heh, male lead, don't blame me. It's rare for me to come out, so I'll modify these clothes. You have plenty of clothes anyway."
Saying this, she found scissors in the room and with a few snips, transformed her robe into a long dress.
"This is much more comfortable. The outside world, here I come."
Mu Qingqing cheered inwardly and then leaped out the window.
...
"Sigh, I knew I should have chosen the Vermilion Bird Institute back then. The Azure Dragon Institute is full of rough guys; I can't even see a beautiful senior sister."
Liu Mu Ming walked along the road, looking up and munching on fruit, heading towards the Vermilion Bird Institute.
Originally, as a student of the Azure Dragon Institute, he shouldn't have been in the Vermilion Bird Institute.
But ever since he joined the Azure Dragon Institute, he had hardly seen any female students.
From the beginning, he had planned to find a beautiful senior sister after joining the Four Symbols Academy, so he could get rid of that woman Bai Ting.
Later, he learned that most of the female students were in the Vermilion Bird Institute, and knowing the truth, he regretted it immensely.
As for Bai Ting, to catch him, she had joined the Azure Dragon Institute just like him.
This left him with no time for cultivation, only constantly trying to avoid Bai Ting.
So he sneaked over to the Vermilion Bird Institute.
Before he could complain much, he vaguely heard a faint, indistinct conversation.
It seemed to be coming from the small path on the left. He slowly moved closer.
He discovered five dark figures in the forest ahead, murmuring something.
Liu Mu Ming cautiously pressed himself against a tree, slightly peeking his head out.
Under the moonlight, Liu Mu Ming finally saw the appearance of these people clearly.
At a glance, there were about seven people, most of them at the Profound Realm.
To his surprise, all seven had blue and white stripes on their cuffs and hems.
This meant they were all students of the Azure Dragon Institute.
Among them, Liu Mu Ming recognized three: Guo Yan, ranked twenty-first on the academy's earthly rankings.
And Yang Song, ranked fifteenth on the earthly rankings, both of whom were at the late Profound Realm.
Another was Na Lan Wu Chang, who had lost to Xin Ci during the assessment.
What were they doing gathered in the small path of the Vermilion Bird Institute?
Liu Mu Ming became curious and cautiously moved his ear closer, wanting to hear what they were discussing.
"Senior brothers, how is that brat Xin Ci dealt with?"
"This... this... Junior brother Wu Chang, this seems a bit difficult."
Yang Song and the others seemed to have something unspoken, speaking hesitantly.
Na Lan Wu Chang immediately frowned, his tone instantly turning colder.
"Senior brothers, are you joking? A mere trash of the Yellow Realm, and you can't even deal with him? You call yourselves earthly masters!"
Yang Song and the others felt displeased, but they didn't show it on their faces.
If this arrogant brat wasn't Senior brother Na Lan's own brother, they would have gladly dealt with Na Lan Wu Chang.
Guo Yan's expression was troubled. "Junior brother Wu Chang, you don't know, that fellow Li Jianxing is also in that villa."
"In the past few days, many of our junior brothers have already been cleaved out by him with a single sword. We can't find any trouble with Xin Ci at all."
"Li Jianxing is just a useless student who has been at the academy for many years. Can't you two earthly masters even defeat him!"
Na Lan Wu Chang couldn't listen any longer and angrily rebuked them.
This, in turn, made Guo Yan frown, and he said a bit angrily,
"I say, junior brother Wu Chang, you can't speak carelessly. Although Li Jianxing's cultivation talent is average, he has been at the academy for a long time and now possesses Earth Realm strength."
"Let alone me and Yang Song, even if all the earthly ranked students went together, we wouldn't be his match."
The other few nodded in agreement with Guo Yan's statement.
Only Na Lan Wu Chang clenched his fists, his expression contorted, venting his emotions wildly in his heart: "Damn Xin Ci! Damn Li Jianxing!"
Then he raised his head, his face ferocious, and said, "I don't care how Li Jianxing obstructs, you must find all sorts of ways tonight to capture that brat Xin Ci and bring him here!"
They were actually planning to deal with Xin Ci!
Liu Mu Ming, hiding behind the tree, was slightly surprised upon hearing this information.
Although his relationship with Xin Ci wasn't very deep, they at least knew each other. He wanted to quickly leave and inform Xin Ci.
Unexpectedly, as he turned, he heard them shout, "Who's there!"
