14 Chapter (14)

Location: Shenghuo village sat on the Northwest of the capital- Yueliang -near the borders of The Spirit Forest.

Wang Hua and her maiden, Yu Jia Yi were disguised in rural men's clothing ready to hit the road and go down the brink. The maiden tied her belt and still looked arrogant and exhausted but they had to leave and earn some coins to supply their goods.

Wang Hua surveyed between the boxes. She was certain that her father had made an elixir to transform faces, and named it -Face Slap elixir!-

"What are you looking for?"

Asked Yu Jia Yi who now was standing beside her, her eyes following the quick trace of Wang Hua's hands that swiftly switched between boxes.

"Face Slap elixir, drinking it can transform us into someone else!"

"Huh? Why would departed Master make such an elixir?"

Jia Yi was dumbfounded, her brain wasn't that prosperous to contemplate complicated subjects.

"Ah, it is up there!"

She looked up at the 6th-tire of the shelf and beamed cheerfully. She presumed that her father had sent them all to the spies but fortunately, the initial versions were kept safe here.

Wang Hua turned and grabbed the chair, dragging it in front of the elixir shelf. She jumped on the chair.

Yet, she needed to stretch her arm and the tip of her fingers poked the box but she struggled to lead it her way.

With a slight yank to drag the box, the forworn chair's leg broke, and Xiaojiao dodged.

Jia Yi was stunned and had to decide whether to save her Lady or the box and in an instant, she leaped up and grabbed the floating box.

These elixirs must be very expensive.

"Ouch!" Wang Hua cried.

Then the maiden turned to her Lady, "Oh, my lady!"

Xiaojiao snorted and walked beside Wang Hua, licking her face.

Coming back to her senses, Wang Hua sat straight and suddenly burst into tears.

"My Lady, are you alright?"

"I lost a precious chance!"

Jia Yi opened her mouth to say that no she didn't but her Lady didn't stop, "I'm clumsy, I better die. I can't even manage to stand on my feet."

Jia Yi quickly opened the lock and extended her arms, shouting, "You didn't!"

Four vials of green glowing elixirs came to Wang Hua's sight, their green aura cast a green shade on her pale wet delicate face and teary eyes.

Silence fell but soon she broke it while sniffing and wiping her nose.

Snatching the box from Jia Yi, she stood up, abruptly. For a moment, all her attempts to act like a substantial mighty person went futile.

"I'm glad you are my Lady!"

Huh?

"Why?" She frowned, she was about to lose these precious elixirs.

"Since our reunion, you have been acting like someone else. I was a bit worried that you might not be my previous Lady."

Wang Hua nodded, "I am your friend from now on. Stop calling me Lady Wang Hua, we are equal now. Call me Wang Hua."

Jia Yi was baffled and just blinked with her poker face.

"Come here!"

She put down the box on the table and picked one vial, "These are made for spies on the battlefield. If the spy is a woman she will transform into a man and if that's a man he will transform into a woman."

"Wow!"

Jia Yi had no idea how strong the departed leader of the Wang family was.

"For how long does each last?"

"The initial ones remain for Twenty-four hours!"

Wang Hua was delighted and her cheeks blushed, after coming back from an absolute death in Spirit Forest, this could warm her heart.

"Would it work on you?"

Wang Hua nodded and removed the lid with her thumb and extended her hand, "Take it, it is not only me who must learn to cultivate!"

Jia Yi couldn't believe what her lady just noted, she was an insignificant Dove and merely lost her spirit animal! How could she advance in cultivation? She lingered to take it.

"I will search for the sacred flame to help you. There is still hope for you to repossess Mia. Her spirit is a part of you, connected to you. You stand a chance, if she is wandering in the mortal world to help you."

She spoke confidently and Jia Yi's eyes brimmed with tears.

"My Lady, you are so generous!" She gulped the lump in her throat, and trailed off, "Are you sure that it wouldn't hurt you without a spiritual magic core? It can be inconsistent with your essence!"

"Then let's try it, if it was poisonous Xiaojiao would show a reaction. Also, I can see…"

She swallowed the rest of her words. She should not reveal her secrets about seeing herb auras and qi consumption. It was in her essence to recognize herbs' factuality.

She gave her a serene smile and added,

"Never mind, I will go first!"

She sipped all the content of the forefinger-sized silver glassy vial and eased her shoulders.

"Ough, it smells like a wet dog!" She growled.

Her stomach lurched but she pushed the sensation away and soon her hands began to change. Her skin loosened and wrinkled, countless brown speckles appeared on her scrawny hands and she felt that her facial features were falling gradually.

Jia Yi freaked out, it gave her goosebumps to behold the figure across her sight, even the cub was scared and rushed away, hiding behind a bamboo basket, covering her eyes with her little paws, yet peeking.

"What is happening? Why are you turning into a crone? You considered being a male!"

Wang Hua touched her face, this was the initial elixir, and if its operation had gone wrong she could do nothing but sigh! But why did it sound fatty on her back, exactly the area between her shoulders? Something grew on the back of her shoulders!

With Jia Yi's reaction, she grabbed the mirror to take a glimpse of how wretched she looked.

She flinched backward a few paces, taking her short crooked arm up to see what was on her back, yes, here we go!

Huge double-humps?

No way!

Desperately, she put the mirror down and gave it a thought.

"Before drinking the spiritual elixir I was willing not to have an ugly face! I am an idiot, spiritual power just made me exactly the same as the image that crossed my mind, however, I did not want to be like that!"

Wang Hua let out a long sigh and turned to Jia Yi who was pale, pitying her Lady, her hand covering her mouth.

"Don't wear that face and come take one, just think of a handsome man, you'll turn into one. You have to carry my sword! I'm in no place to fight any foe."

Jia Yi shook her head, doubting Wang Hua's new-fangled explanation.

Wang Hua rolled her eyes away, but instead of looking cute, she looked uglier.

"You don't trust me? But I'm certain."

"I didn't make it, hurry up we don't have time."

Wang Hua persuaded the scared girl, and Jia Yi grabbed one vial with a shaking hand, "You are crazy, Wang Hua!"

Removing the lid, she closed her eyes and imagined a very good-looking young man, a man she dreamed to marry one day.

Waving her hand, her white aura led out the green liquid and it moved to her mouth between the seam of her lips, she cursed, "Damn, what a shit!"

Soon her body began to change, she could feel a large muscle attached to balls hanging between her legs, and her breast changed, touching her face, she quickly gazed at her hairy hands!

Want Hua smiled!

As the strange tickling and a little painful sensation vanished, she jumped to grab the mirror.

Her mouth fell open, "My Lady!"

Even her voice was thick.

"Yes, now we are the beauty and the hag!"

She laughed but coughed afterward as her waned throat could not help it.

"My Lady, I have those things in my pants!" she was looking at her just-given intimate parts, "Come here, take a look!"

Wang Hua stepped forward and seized a peek, her left eyebrow that almost covered her eye arched up, "Was it your imaginary man?" she snapped.

Jia Yi blushed and quickly stepped backward and wrapped herself.

"You are dangerous my Lady!"

Wang Hua snorted and staggered to the door cursing herself for choosing this worn-out body.
