No one knew how much time had passed before Bai Changsheng slowly woke, her eyelids fluttering open.
She sat up and looked around, only to find herself in a young woman’s boudoir.
A finely crafted dressing table sat quietly by the bed, and on the side desk, all sorts of items and cosmetics were neatly arranged in perfect order.
“What… is this…?” She raised her hand and pressed lightly on her throbbing temples. Suddenly, an image of that black-and-white, luminous jade silkworm flashed through her mind, and a bitter smile unconsciously formed on her face.
“Damn it! I got played by that bastard Tianyan.”
“As expected, one shouldn’t get too full of oneself.”
After steadying herself a little, she cupped her fists lightly toward the door and called out in a clear voice: “I am Bai Changsheng. May I ask which Daoist friend lent a helping hand? I am deeply grateful, and will surely repay you handsomely in the future.”
After her words fell, there was no response for a long while.
Bai Changsheng’s heart was full of doubt. At that moment, an ethereal and pleasant female voice sounded from outside the window: “Bai Changsheng? Are you the Bai Changsheng from the Northern Plains?”
“That is I.”
“But I heard that Bai Changsheng is the finest man in the Northern Plains, you…”
“What about me differs from the rumors?” Bai Changsheng arched her brows ever so slightly, but as soon as she spoke, it was as if she suddenly remembered something. Her face instantly became a marvelous sight.
She abruptly lowered her head, only to see two full and rounded breasts leaping into view.
Her vision went black, and she let out a loud shout!
“Damn Tianyan! This isn’t over between us!!”
Her voice echoed through the southern border mountains, shaking down a few fallen leaves.
“So… these are the past few days you went through?” Su Bai’s mouth twitched as she listened to Bai Changsheng recount her recent experiences.
“That’s right.” Bai Changsheng looked like she was on the verge of tears. “The good news is, I found [Extinguish the Sun]. The bad news is, my second brother is gone.”
“My main body! I didn’t even get to use that second brother, not even a newbie experience, and it’s already…!”
Damn it! Even after a gender swap, it’s still chasing me.
Su Bai could only think: What the hell!!
Ever since she started using this simulator, she’d been gender-swapped inside the simulator, gender-swapped outside the simulator, and now even her avatar in the simulator had been gender-swapped.
What’s the point of calling this a ‘Fantasy Simulator’? It should just be called the ‘Gender Swap Simulator’!
After spending a bit of time comforting her avatar who had lost her ‘second brother’, and pouring her a little motivational ‘chicken soup’—“Those who achieve greatness don’t sweat the small stuff,” “Even Han Xin could endure humiliation crawling between someone’s legs, and all you did was gender swap,” “Look at me, I’m already living out the tragic fate of a hentai heroine, and you’re worried about this?”—after this round of PUA, Bai Changsheng was suddenly full of spirit again, her eyes blazing with a sharp light, sweeping away her earlier gloom as if she’d become a new person.
“I’ll join [Extinguish the Sun] right away!”
“One day, I’ll skin that Celestial Lord alive!”
“And I’ll make that rebellious disciple who attacked her master regret it, I’ll give her a good lesson!!”
Shouting furiously and waving her arms, she was so worked up that her rather ample, snowy chest surged in wild waves.
Su Bai rubbed her chin.
Had she just mastered the essence of PUA herself?
After a brief moment of thought, she shifted her attention to another matter.
In this life, with a few subtle changes, a lot had changed compared to the second round. For instance, she obtained the complete inheritance of the Myriad Transformations True Lord, recruited the future Fortune True Lord as her second son and disciple, and even refined the White Lord who’d escaped from the City of Ten Thousand Souls in the second round, seeing quite a few interesting things from his memories.
The three treasures of the mortal world, cultivating with elixirs, the Yin Spirit leaving the body, the Yang Spirit manifesting in the world, ascending with feathers—these are the paths the Nine Nether laid down.
That White Lord was neither a peerless genius nor the chosen of destiny. He was once a beggar, and only in his most desperate and helpless moments did he strike a deal with an existence named “You.” Under that guidance, he founded the Nine Nether Sect and attained the Yin Spirit level, equivalent to the Golden Core realm in strength.
“You cannot see the true face of Mount Lu, only because you are in the mountain itself.”
After two and a half rounds, having jumped out of the confines of the Longevity Realm, looking at things from a third-party perspective and combining the intelligence she’d gathered over several lifetimes, Su Bai developed a theory.
Longevity and Nine Nether are fighting over the ‘Dao.’
Unlike ordinary cultivators competing for opportunities, legacies, or treasures, they are contending for the right to write the future.
If Su Bai’s previous action of siphoning off the essence of heaven and earth could be compared to a thief sneaking in to steal money, then the struggle between Nine Nether and Longevity is about who owns the house itself.
This is also why Su Bai is convinced that Zhou Xuan dares not leave the Central State. Union with Longevity is Longevity’s path, ascension with feathers is Nine Nether’s path.
Feathered Ascension is now deeply bound to Nine Nether. The Central State is protected by the [Heavenly Emperor’s Spirit Locking Array], isolating the will of Longevity from outside, so there’s nothing to fear. But outside the Central State, if you so much as set a foot out, the next moment you might be struck down by heaven’s wrath.
Of course, all of this is still just Su Bai’s initial guess and speculation. Many questions remain—like why are Nine Nether and Longevity fighting in the first place? Where did the Nascent Soul Celestial Lords and the Union Dao Immortal Lords go? Nine Nether is supposed to be the resting place for the world’s souls, a part of the Longevity Realm itself, so why did it suddenly rebel?
Just then, a pair of fair, delicate arms quietly wrapped around her from behind. Su Bai turned instinctively, and Xue Ji’s youthful face was right before her eyes, cheeks puffed out like a cute little squirrel.
Just as Su Bai was about to speak, Xue Ji blinked playfully, and in the next instant, her lips pressed against Su Bai’s crimson lips. Su Bai’s beautiful eyes flew wide as she felt something soft prying open her teeth, passing something slowly into her mouth.
It was sweet and fragrant, with an indescribably wonderful taste, as if she were reliving the years of the past, and also as if she were ascending to a realm of delight. There were all sorts of wondrous sensations, impossible to fully describe.
“It actually tastes pretty good~” Su Bai suddenly had this thought, and before she realized it, she started swallowing.
“Gulp Gulp Gulp Gulp” Su Bai was gradually intoxicated by the marvelous sensation in her mouth, her tongue entwining with the other’s, the flavor becoming richer and more fragrant, until she unconsciously extended her tongue to gently explore and touch.
No one knew how long the kiss lasted. By the time the two women parted, half a stick of incense had already burned.
A trace of sweet nectar and white liquid lingered on Xue Ji’s rosy lips, and her cheeks were tinged with blush.
Su Bai’s eyes sparkled with moisture. For some reason, her body felt a bit weak and feverish in this moment.
“What was that? It tasted pretty good.” She smacked her lips gently, still savoring it.
“Ten-thousand-year Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid, I snuck it from A-Xuan. He barely has a few bottles of the stuff.”
“Then why did you kiss me? I’m not a narcissus.”
“This stuff tastes best when nurtured with a virgin’s yin energy.”
As she spoke, Xue Ji fluttered those bright, lively eyes at Su Bai, “Besides, don’t you think that way of drinking just now was super tantalizing?”
Su Bai’s face flushed red.
Two fragrant, pretty girls kissing and passing spirit liquid mouth-to-mouth—yeah, that’s super tantalizing~~
After all, she was a face-con. If it were a burly man, she’d have kicked him away at the first sign.
