After repeatedly checking the map in his mind, Zhu Liu had to reluctantly confirm: This is just a metamorphosis grass.

And it's not mature yet.

Well, shapeshifting grass isn't bad, at least for now. The dream of the golden finger was shattered, and Zhu Liu comforted himself in his heart with a little frustration.

But it looks like it's going to live here before it matures.

After recovering the Shapeshifting Grass with a new layer of shielding, of course, it was also learned from the inheritance, Zhu Liu flew out of the patio and returned to the cave.

It looks like it's necessary to clean up first.

Manual cleaning is naturally not necessary, although Zhu Liu failed to find anything like the dust purification technique in the inheritance, but fortunately, there is a more direct way: Zhu Liu flapped his wings, and a half-moon-shaped flame blade reappeared, but the scale was obviously much smaller than the last time. As soon as Zhu Liu's wings were folded, this scorching wave of attack shot down the cave and went straight out of the cave, turning everything in the cave to ashes along the way.

After a few breaths, there was a "boom" sound outside the cave, and I don't know if there were any unlucky people who were affected.

Didn't care about the movement he caused, Zhu Liu was very satisfied with his cleaning work: Hmm. Dust removal also comes with a sterilization effect, which is perfect. Zhu Liu wanted to snap his fingers excitedly, but finally raised his little paw to look at it, and silently put it down.

…… I feel like the shapeshifting grass is still quite useful.

For the next period of time, Zhu Liu lived in this cave, groping for the cultivation method while waiting for the transformation grass to mature.

Well, by the way, I almost ate up the nearby barge beasts...

A month later.

Zhu Liu stared at the purple spirit grass that emitted a rich fragrance in front of him, and was a little excited: although there was nothing wrong with the body of the Vermilion Bird, it would feel a little awkward for Zhu Liu, who was used to the human body.

Zhu Liu first covered the entrance of the cave with several enchantments, and then laid a newly learned killing array inside the entrance of the cave - although the technique was immature, Zhu Liu used his advantage as a Vermilion Bird to infuse a large amount of fire aura into it, and it was even enough to kill the monks in the realm by surprise. Naturally, he didn't forget to lay several enchantments around him - Zhu Liu didn't want to be a funny person who was killed by his own formation.

Everything was ready, Zhu Liu gathered his wings and stood on a flat stone platform - this was specially polished with spiritual power before, and he took a bite of the purple spiritual grass in front of him, and swallowed it into his stomach in three or two clicks.

Hmm, it's sweet......

This was the last thought that flashed through Zhu Liu's mind before he fell into a coma.

—————— I am the dividing line of time———

Three months later.

In a cave deep in the barge, a huge white cocoon is quietly shining with a crystal luster.

"Click-"

Suddenly, there was a slight sound inside the white cocoon, and cracks appeared, and a tender white arm poked out of the cracks.

"Actually...... It's already at ease. A lazy female voice with a hint of seduction sounded in the cave.

…… Then there was silence in the cave.

"It's ...... My voice?! The delicate female voice sounded again, only this time it was full of surprise and eagerness.

With a crisp sound, the remaining cocoon wall was directly kicked apart by a white jade-like bare foot, and Zhu Liu, who had been in a coma for three months, was completely awake.

Feeling the strangeness on her chest, she hesitated, she looked down:

"Isn't that a bit ...... What a foul?! ”

As far as the eye can see, it is red and jade, "turbulent"; Zhu Liu couldn't help but stretch out her hand and shake it gently, and the soft and wonderful touch suddenly made a sentence appear in her mind:

It seems to be like a silk willow, and the group is crispy and holds snowflakes.

The ancients did not deceive me!

Well, it seems that the focus is not quite right. With a red face and letting go of his hand, Zhu Liu moved his gaze down slightly, over the snow-white slender waist and flat lower abdomen...... Suddenly his face turned even redder:

"Open...... Are you kidding! I'm Suzaku, not a white tiger......"

——————I'm the dividing line of confirmation———

After some confirmation.

Zhu Liu sat on the edge of the stone platform with a slightly depressed face, and a pair of delicate and slender legs shook unconsciously. Although he hadn't been able to see his face yet, Zhu Liu could already confirm that he was indeed a woman now. Although Zhu Liu's memories of her previous life were incomplete and she couldn't even remember her name, she had decades of male memories after all, and loss, frustration, and discomfort were inevitable.

However, Zhu Liu immediately laughed self-deprecatingly: maybe he was too greedy; It's only been a few months, and now he is a Jindan monk, if he can live for thousands of years and have great magical powers just by switching genders, how many people will feel that such a transaction will be at a loss? Not to mention that he is also a divine beast Vermilion Bird, which is far from being comparable to ordinary Jindan.

…… But I still feel a little bit of a loss.

Shaking his head, Zhu Liu put these aside for the time being, jumped off the stone platform and stood on the ground. In a flash of inspiration, a fiery red robe appeared on her body. After thinking about it, Zhu Liu used spiritual power to transform two underwear into two more underwear in the robe - vacuum? Forget it......

Standing at the entrance of the cave, the slightly dazzling sunlight was shining in his face, making Zhu Liu squint a pair of beautiful eyes slightly, and suddenly there was a feeling that an otaku was forced to walk out of the house.

…… Uh, otaku.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Zhu Liu thought for a moment and then made a decision: first go to the water's edge to see his current face. Everyone has a love for beauty, if Zhu Liu can barely accept it when she becomes a woman, she really can't accept it when she becomes an ugly girl.

A moment later.

A few miles away, on the edge of a secluded pool, a red shadow fell from mid-air.

"It's ......"

With a little inexplicable nervousness, Zhu Liu fixed his eyes on his reflection in the pool:

Between the eyebrows, there is a crimson mark shaped like a flame; Under the slender curved willow eyebrows, there are a pair of big glazed eyes and eyes that sparkle like obsidian, and the corners of the eyes fly slightly upward, and the plain white adds a bit of charm to the whole face. Under the small Qiong's nose, there are two thin lips that are not dotted and vermilion, the lip flaps are slightly pursed, with the sweetness of rose dew, but with a jelly-like texture, under the background of the slender chin and slender neck, it makes people have an urge to taste and eat.

"Taste the peerless color, and restore the city's capital." Zhu Liu muttered to herself sluggishly, and then she blushed when she reacted, she was ...... Narcissism?!

Zhu Liu, who was slightly embarrassed, was relieved from his sluggish state and let out a sigh of relief. Beautiful things always make people feel good, let alone such beautiful faces.

Such a body...... It doesn't seem that hard to accept. Zhu Liu thought secretly in his heart.

Naturally, Zhu Liu, who has completely integrated the Suzaku inheritance, also knows very well that beautiful things will always be coveted, and the monk is not without seven emotions and six desires, and even better than mortals because of the increase in strength; The sinister realm of cultivating immortals is also a thousand times more sinister than the mortal world.

But so what? Zhu Liu asked silently in his heart.

As a divine beast, Vermilion Bird, and now that he has the Jindan cultivation, he has such a rich resource, can't he even protect his own body?

A self who can't even protect his body still cultivates this immortal ...... What to do?

On this day, in the depths of the barge mountain, where there were no more barge beasts, by a small waterhole, a Vermilion Bird named Zhuliu set his first small ambition:

"I will protect this body from anyone."
