Chapter 1444: Female Ugly

Zu An ultimately decided against telling her about Hou Yi shooting down the suns, primarily because of her immense power; he was unsure of the consequences. He could only comfort her gently, and Xi He’s emotions gradually stabilized. She felt increasingly that this man was thoughtful and meticulous, and her gaze towards him softened.

The three women nearby watched this scene with peculiar expressions, but being intelligent, they knew not to be jealous at such a moment.

The golden chariot, pulled by six dragons, traveled swiftly, and the group soon arrived at the gathering place of the ten suns. From afar, they could see ten dazzling spheres of light. Waves of intense heat washed over them, making their hair feel as if it were about to scorch.

Xi He glanced at Zu An, then simply waved her sleeve. A five-colored light shimmered around the golden chariot, and the group immediately felt incomparably cool, free from the oppressive heat.

“Thank you, Madam,” Zu An quickly said, simultaneously wondering how her delicate figure could have given birth to ten suns.

His gaze did not escape Xi He. Normally, if someone looked at her with such eyes, she would have long since gouged them out. However, now she instead felt that her charm had been acknowledged, and a sense of pride swelled within her.

Of course, her attention quickly returned to her sons. The ten suns hung in the air, seemingly surrounding a single individual. Zu An and the others also saw it: a green-clad... woman. The hesitation was because her appearance was anything but feminine; she was tall and robust, completely bald, and seemed to lack any body hair. In addition to her two normal eyes, she had a vertical eye on her forehead. Her already ugly face, combined with this bizarre eye, made her even more unsettling.

Beneath her was a mount: a colossal sea crab with a shell a thousand li wide. The sheer pressure emanating from this giant crab was no less than that of the octopus monster they had encountered in the North Sea. The bubbles it exhaled could even temporarily trap the Golden Crows. The fact that this woman could use it as a mount indicated her unfathomable power.

At this moment, the ten Golden Crows were collectively attacking their opponent, but the woman showed no sign of weakness. Destructive lights of various colors flowed, and even a slight ripple could decimate a mountain. Zu An and the others were somewhat numb; this was truly a battle of immortals. Every participant in this conflict seemed to possess Earth Immortal level strength. They had previously considered trying to kill the ten Golden Crows, but now they realized they wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth.

“Nu Chou, how audacious! How dare you oppose my sons?” Xi He, having clearly assessed the situation, glared at the bald woman with shock and fury.

“Nu Chou?” Zu An thought, “That name is quite fitting.” The woman riding the large crab was indeed extraordinarily ugly.

“Hehehe,” Nu Chou’s throat emitted an extremely unpleasant sound. “Your sons are sons, but are mine not?”

“What do you mean?” Xi He frowned. “We have always kept to ourselves. Why have you suddenly gone mad?”

“Hmph, you know well what you have done,” the ugly woman roared. Suddenly, she summoned another colossal dragon fish, whose strength was no less than that of the giant crab, instantly throwing the ten Golden Crows into disarray.

“Presumptuous!” Xi He, with no time to argue further, launched her own attack. This strike truly caused space to collapse, giving the sensation that even the Great Dao was being annihilated.

Yun Jianyue watched everything with rapt attention, then sighed profoundly, “To witness a battle of this caliber firsthand, even if I die, it wouldn't be in vain.”

“Indeed.” Yan Xuehen was similarly deeply moved. The techniques Nu Chou employed seemed to be the legendary witchcraft, which shared common principles with many Daoist methods. After observing for a while, she felt her long-dormant cultivation realm subtly loosening. If she were given time for secluded cultivation, she might even reach a higher level. However, she knew that this opportunity was probably beyond her reach in this lifetime. Against such terrifying women and equally formidable Golden Crows, even if Zu An used his charm, they would have no chance of escape.

Yu Yanluo, whose cultivation was lower, was equally mesmerized. While she couldn’t fully comprehend all the profound intricacies, she still benefited immensely.

Zu An, meanwhile, observed Nu Chou. Although the woman was rather ugly, an enemy of an enemy was a friend. They should ideally be on the same side, so he secretly cheered her on. He only regretted that they were captured and currently unable to help at all. Nu Chou, facing such a powerful lineup alone, was likely to suffer a tragic fate.

Indeed, once Xi He joined, Nu Chou, even with the assistance of the giant crab and dragon fish, was no match. She quickly began to retreat. First, the dragon fish, bleeding profusely, was torn into several pieces by the Golden Crows’ sharp claws, dying on the spot. Not long after, the giant crab’s bubbles grew fewer and fewer, and its entire body turned fiery red. Clearly, the combined divine might of the ten Golden Crows and the Sun Goddess was too much for its body to bear, and it was roasted alive.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Crows mocked it: “This big crab gave us a lot of trouble. Now we can roast it and eat it to settle the score!”

“Roasted crab is the best! I just love roasted crab.”“The meat in those two big claws is mine; it’s the essence of the whole crab.”“I prefer the meat from the sides of the abdomen; it’s the most fragrant and tender.”“This is a female crab; her roe is the fattest!”

Listening to the Golden Crows’ unrestrained discussion, Nu Chou was both shocked and enraged. She looked at her two fallen mounts with a trace of sorrow on her ugly face, then waved her hand, sending their bodies into the distant sea.

The Golden Crows, unable to stop her, glared at her angrily: “Nu Chou, pay us back for the crab!”“And the dragon fish!”

Nu Chou stared back at the Golden Crows with venomous eyes: “You forced my hand!”

As she finished speaking, her aura surged dramatically. Initially, she had clearly used water-based witchcraft, but now her entire being exuded an intense, fiery heat. Her clothes turned crimson, then completely burned to ash. Zu An did not avert his gaze, but her body was obscured by waves of red light, making it impossible to see anything.

The group was inexplicably horrified because the temperature around Nu Chou rose sharply, and her brightness even surpassed that of the ten Golden Crows, effectively creating an eleventh sun in the sky. The sea boiled, the earth cracked, and an aura of death permeated everywhere. Though Xi He had previously used a spell on the chariot to block the heat, Zu An and his companions now felt the scorching heat once more—an extreme sensation of dryness.

Xi He’s expression also changed drastically: “This aura… you’re not Nu Chou, you are Nü Ba!”

Some people die, but not completely…

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving. Confusion, bewilderment, and various emotions flooded his mind.

“Where is this?”

Shi Yu instinctively looked around, then grew even more bewildered. A single dorm room? Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital room. And his body… how could it be completely uninjured?

With these doubts, Shi Yu’s gaze quickly swept across the room, finally settling on a mirror above the bed. The mirror reflected his current appearance: roughly seventeen or eighteen years old, very handsome. Previously, he had been a dashing young man in his twenties with an extraordinary demeanor, who had been working for some time. Now, this appearance seemed to be that of a high school student… This change left Shi Yu in a long daze.

Don’t tell him the surgery was very successful… His body and appearance had changed; this was no mere surgery, but an immortal art. He had completely transformed into another person!

Could it be… he had transmigrated?

Besides the mirror, whose placement clearly indicated bad feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby. Shi Yu picked them up, and their titles instantly left him speechless.

*The Essential Handbook for Novice Beast Keepers**Post-Natal Care for Pet Beasts**Appraisal Guide for Heteromorphic Beast-Eared Girls*

Shi Yu: ???

The first two book titles seemed normal, but what was up with the last one?

“Cough.”

Shi Yu’s eyes sharpened as he reached out, but his arm quickly stiffened. Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, a sharp pain pierced his brain, and a massive tide of memories surged in.
