At the back of the auction house.
Soon, Ye Wangchuan paid for the auction item.
Fifteen thousand gold coins—he could easily afford it.
After all, Ye Wangchuan's spatial ring contained over a thousand spears, each worth a thousand gold coins.
"Let's go, follow me to Spirit Mountain."
Ye Wangchuan planned to take Jiang You to the Longevity Palace first.
He didn’t want her to be stolen away by some "Child of Destiny" in the Ye family and end up being fed to who-knows-what.
Beside them.
Li Luo: "..."
Li Luo silently glanced at Ye Wangchuan's side.
With herself, Hui Qiezi, and now Jiang You...
Once they returned to Spirit Mountain, there would also be Fang Que.
Four lolis...
Uh...
Didn’t Ye Wangchuan say before that he wasn’t interested in underdeveloped bodies?
...
...
Returning to Spirit Mountain.
By now, it was already late at night.
Ye Wangchuan settled Jiang You in a room and then went to Fang Que’s room.
To relieve his fatigue.
After Ye Wangchuan left.
Jiang You opened her eyes, confirmed that no one was around, and sat up.
"Hehehe! Humans are nothing special!"
"Getting in was so easy, not as hard as I thought~"
Jiang You kept smirking mischievously.
In truth, she wasn’t some weak little demon.
Quite the opposite.
She was actually a powerful demon!
Jiang You was a ten-thousand-year-old mother weasel! Her cultivation was incredibly strong!
All the weasels who saw her would respectfully call her "Big Sis!"
As for why Jiang You now looked like a golden-haired loli with cat ears...
That story began a few months ago...
...
...
A few months ago.
In the demon territory.
"Xiao Mian, go crack open a coconut for me. Xiao He, catch a chicken for me."
A weasel sat on a wooden throne, ordering other weasels to serve her.
After giving her commands, the weasel was about to take a nap on the throne.
Just then, an old weasel approached and said.
"Xiao Jiang, you can’t keep living like this. You’ve been single for ten thousand years, never finding a mate, never having any descendants. Sigh..."
"Too lazy to look."
Jiang You replied impatiently.
The old weasel sighed and continued.
"I’m not here today to pressure you into finding a mate. I have something important to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Xiao Jiang, your cultivation has reached a level where you’re eligible for the 'Seeking Recognition' ritual!"
"Seeking Recognition?"
Jiang You looked at the old weasel, puzzled.
This was the first time she had heard of such a thing.
The old weasel patiently began to explain.
"It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it. Only us old-timers know about this."
"To put it simply, Seeking Recognition is a ritual where, once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you must find a human."
"You bow to the human a few times and ask, 'What do I look like?'"
"If the human answers that you look like an immortal, then you’ll have the chance to ascend and become an immortal! Just like a dragon!"
"If the human says you look like a human, then you’ll transform into a real human, which isn’t a bad outcome either."
"But if the human says you look like a weasel, then you’ll remain in your current form for the rest of your life, just like me."
After listening to the old weasel, Jiang You nodded, understanding the basics of the Seeking Recognition ritual.
"Is this ritual really that miraculous? Has anyone in our clan ever succeeded in ascending?"
Jiang You asked.
The old weasel immediately launched into a long explanation.
"That brings us to our ancestor, the very first weasel to undergo the Seeking Recognition ritual!"
"It’s said that its cultivation had been stuck at a certain level for a long time, with no progress. Then one day, it casually asked a human what it looked like."
"That human had been beaten to near-death by our ancestor and was begging for mercy. So, in desperation, the human pleaded, 'Great Immortal! You look like a great immortal! Oh, Great Immortal! Please spare me!'"
"Unexpectedly, as soon as the human said those words, the heavens and earth trembled! Thunder roared! Several bolts of lightning struck our ancestor!"
"After enduring the lightning, our ancestor found that its cultivation began to slowly improve! It was no longer stuck at the same level!"
"At that moment, it had a premonition that after a few more millennia of cultivation, it would be able to ascend and become an immortal!"
After the old weasel finished its excited explanation.
Jiang You immediately asked curiously.
"And then? Did our ancestor succeed in ascending?"
"Uh, no. Before it could ascend, it was casually killed by a human named Zhen Tian."
The old weasel said.
Jiang You: "..."
The old weasel coughed a few times and said, "Ahem, regardless, the method of ascension has been passed down! Xiao Jiang, haven’t you been feeling stuck in your cultivation lately? Then you should hurry and find a human to Seek Recognition!"
Jiang You asked, "What if I beat a human half to death and force them to say I’m an immortal? Would that work?"
The old weasel shook its head. "No, it has to come from the human’s heart. They must genuinely believe you’re an immortal."
"I have an old friend who tried to force a human to say it was an immortal during the Seeking Recognition ritual. The human said it was an immortal, but in the end, my friend turned into a woman with enormous breasts."
"Uh... they were indeed big. Anyway, I’m going back to see my wife."
Jiang You: "?"
After the old weasel left.
Jiang You stood there, deep in thought.
The easiest way to be recognized as an immortal...
Would be to go to a place with many humans and use a divine ability to obliterate their territory!
The surviving humans, seeing her immense power, would surely think she was an immortal!
But first, she needed to find a way to infiltrate human society.
With that thought, Jiang You immediately began to shapeshift.
For a great demon like her, shapeshifting into a human form was a simple task.
However, the transformed form wasn’t a true human but rather a demon with a human-like appearance.
Additionally, some demonic features had to remain after the transformation.
Moments later, Jiang You transformed into a 139.5cm tall golden-haired loli with small fangs.
She also retained her weasel ears and tail.
Looking at her reflection in the lake, Jiang You felt that the weasel ears and tail made her too easily identifiable.
So, she made a few adjustments, turning her ears and tail into something more cat-like.
"There, now humans will just think I’m a regular cat demon!"
Jiang You confidently put her hands on her hips and muttered to herself.
After finishing her transformation, she left the demon territory and sneaked into human lands.
After a few weeks of waiting, Jiang You spotted a merchant caravan.
She immediately suppressed her cultivation, pretending to be a weak little demon, and passed by the caravan.
Sure enough, she was captured.
Then she was taken to Chang’an City, auctioned off, and ended up in Ye Wangchuan’s hands.
And that brings us back to the present.
