The little fox bowed, "If Your Immortal has a wish, this humble immortal dares not disobey. What does Your Immortal wish me to transform into?"
"Transform into a beautiful woman for me! Listen closely, a maiden of sixteen, with a slender waist like a willow, skin like congealed fat, eyebrows like wisps of smoke, almond eyes that gleam, a face like peaches and plums, and lips as red as cherries and teeth as white as jade."
"With earrings adorned, and eight-treasure rings, a cascade of raven hair coiled with jade pearls, and a golden hairpin slanted in your temples!"
"Your demeanor should be elegant and ethereal, as if untouched by worldly affairs, and you must wear a white robe!"
Ji Xiang poured out every description of a celestial maiden he could recall from his mind or from the storybooks he'd read on the streets. After all, if the transformed woman wasn't beautiful, she wouldn't attract demons, and it would be better not to transform at all.
The request made, the little fox was startled. It muttered to itself, wondering why such a handsome and powerful immortal would come to the wild mountains of Yuquan to have a fox spirit transform into a beauty for his amusement.
Were there not the Imperial Entertainment Quarters within Shuntian? Those were filled with ladies of the court, not only beautiful but also skilled musicians, possessing both attractive appearances and inner substance.
Moreover, these demands, setting aside the fact that it was like molding a person, the most crucial point was...
"Your, Your Immortal, this, this is all manageable, but there's just one aspect that's difficult." The little fox's face turned slightly red. It raised a paw and weakly proposed a modification.
"What aspect is difficult? Tell me, I'll change it, and then you can transform. Speak quickly."
Ji Xiang was in a hurry, so he immediately asked it to explain clearly. The little fox was partly serious, partly shy, and partly embarrassed. It scratched its head:
"Your Immortal... do you really want me to transform? But I'm male."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiang was overjoyed. "Excellent! I thought it was some major issue. If you, being male, cannot transform into a female, can you at least change the clothes? It's not a big deal, just try to look as much like a woman as possible!"
"Male is even better!"
Even if the transformation was into a male, he could simply wear women's clothes.
Furthermore, a male fox transforming into a handsome man would also attract demons, and with a higher success rate! After all, no matter how beautiful they were, you'd still know they were male!
"Transform properly, and I won't treat you unfairly," Ji Xiang encouraged.
The little fox was stunned. The look in Ji Xiang's eyes instantly changed.
What did this mean?
*Sob sob sob!* Calculating by fox immortal age, I'm not even an adult yet! This, this, cultivators' preferred playthings are usually female foxes, why would I...
Never mind, with a gritted teeth, I'll transform. Who told me I lost and am inferior in skill!
The little fox felt aggrieved, yet also a sense of tragic resolve, feeling that its "chrysanthemum" was not safe today.
It spun around on the spot, trying its best to appear feminine according to Ji Xiang's custom description. A red light emanated from its body, and after a while, it transformed into a delicate and beautiful young man, wearing women's clothes, looking about the same age as Ji Xiang.
The little fox mumbled with its lips, about to speak, but was stopped by Ji Xiang, who told him that his transformation was only the first step, and there were lines to deliver immediately!
The little fox was even more shocked.
Can it be played this way...?
"Sing a seductive poem, or speak seductive words. Come, tell me!"
Ji Xiang, with the most serious expression, uttered words typically heard in brothels, and his tone was even stern. The little fox was momentarily unsure how to respond. It had never been to a brothel and its knowledge of seduction was limited to some erotic storybooks. After thinking for a long time, it could only stammer out, "Sir, would you like to play?"
"No satisfaction, no money?"
Due to the overly clumsy acting, Ji Xiang, who had been maintaining a stern face, couldn't help but almost burst into laughter!
I am a professional celestial master, I generally don't laugh... unless I can't help it!
Seeing Ji Xiang's face twitch, the little fox knew it had failed. Even it felt embarrassed, its face burning with shame, and it felt genuinely wronged in its heart!
And with this feeling of being wronged, that look of pitiable vulnerability immediately emerged.
Ji Xiang seized this moment, stepped forward, and placed his hands on the young man's shoulders!
His eyes seemed to emit a brilliant divine light, scrutinizing the little fox from head to toe. He inwardly praised the fox clan for their innate charm, regardless of gender. As he actively focused his mind, a strange cry suddenly echoed from somewhere in the wilderness.
This cry did not come from heaven and earth, but from the formless void!
"They've come!"
Ji Xiang felt a surge of demonic energy rise from his heart, clouding his eyes. In the unseen realm, he seemed to have already connected with the demon examiner!
As soon as this thought arose, the surrounding scenery instantly changed. Even the little fox's eyes became hazy and dazed, feeling dizzy. It had entered the blissful realm conjured by the demon. From all directions, countless beautiful women emerged, chirping like orioles, their voices like dreams, their breaths fragrant like orchids. Clad in only a few thin silk robes, they pressed close, encircling Ji Xiang and reaching out to touch him.
Ji Xiang looked at the little fox. At this moment, the little fox was dazed, being supported by the illusory women around it. They hadn't treated it as a male, but after a series of transformations, it had truly been幻化 into a beautiful maiden.
The maiden's eyes were vacant, her white robes as pure as snow. She was ushered forward by the illusory women, her cheeks flushed, gradually succumbing to desire.
This was the demon's trial!
The sea of karma is vast, its chief sin being lust! The mortal world is chaotic, its most common transgression being lustful indulgence!
Even a hero who can uproot mountains and cover the sky, once seated in a bed of softness, will ultimately meet a fate of ruin and national disgrace!
And the little fox, as the "initiator" of the demon's test, was naturally chosen by the demon as the main avatar for this trial, helping it transform into a beautiful maiden to seduce Ji Xiang.
Ji Xiang chuckled, "Demon! When I was in the heavens, I conversed with your superiors, the Five Emperor Great Demon Kings, and frequently saw their spirit tablets. They even offered me incense! Today, I am here to pass your test, please grant me passage."
"Moreover, for the trial avatar, you have chosen the wrong person. Even if you make this little fox more beautiful now, I still know it's a male!"
Ji Xiang laughed heartily, greeted them, and without regard for whether they could hear, he directly placed the Heavenly Treasure Lord's Seal before him, gripped the Golden Striker in his right hand, formed the Divine King's mudra with his left, and was about to recite the Three Chapters of the Demon King.
Suddenly, the illusory women all glanced at Ji Xiang. Their originally seductive and flirtatious eyes vanished without a trace. Their faces were filled with surprise, and then they quickly retreated into the forest, disappearing from sight!
Only the little fox, still in its female attire, remained seated on a rock, dazed and with vacant eyes.
Ji Xiang was puzzled, wondering what trial this was, when a voice suddenly transmitted from the unseen realm.
"Since the Great Immortal has already been designated by the Great Demon, why do you transform into human form and specifically come to tease the minor demon?"
This voice carried a tone of helplessness and grievance, and soon vanished without a trace. Ji Xiang was astonished. At this moment, he felt his body's Sacred Embryo was round and flawless, and a surge of spiritual energy flowed from his dantian to his bones. He knew his Sacred Embryo was complete and was about to enter the fifth stage of Manifesting Divinity!
Although he didn't know what was happening, breaking through a realm was a good thing. Ji Xiang felt he had suddenly stumbled upon a windfall, though he didn't understand what "designated by the Great Demon" meant...
Suddenly, the heavens and earth darkened, and Ji Xiang was directly pulled into a new demonic realm!
And this time, Ji Xiang saw a familiar scene: a hazy, luminous expanse, a blue sky and clear heavens. It was actually the Great Fuli Earth!
A spirit tablet descended from the sky, manifesting within the demonic realm, and was automatically drawn towards him, appearing before Ji Xiang!
It turned out that because Ji Xiang was an extraterrestrial celestial demon, the minor demons naturally could not test him. When Ji Xiang summoned the demonic test, he had already attracted the attention of the great demons of heaven and earth. When the demon mentioned Ji Xiang's name, a great demon came to test him!
This descendant was the leader of the Five Emperor Great Demon Kings, the Azure Sky Demon King!
Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, bared his teeth, and roared in anger:
"Changing the exam paper during the test, who does that!"
I already had my answers ready!
