Chapter 1615: Publicly Settling Private Scores

Xie Daoyun clearly shared his thoughts, musing that her disguise this time was an excellent choice. Purple Mountain, though seemingly calm, always gave a sense of impending change.

At this moment, Zhang Zijiang stepped forward and shouted, "Are you blind, your... *cough cough*, we are the Imperial Guards, here by imperial decree to repair the palace on Purple Mountain. This is our leader, General Zu, Marquess of Shen!"

He almost cursed outright but swallowed the words in time, realizing the man was from the Imperial Advisor's faction.

Zu An was mortified. "Why introduce me as the Marquess of Shen?" he thought. "It sounds like I'm a pervert."

"Imperial Guards?" The disciple from Zhengyang Sect's face changed slightly, revealing...

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion, bewilderment, and various other emotions flooded his mind.

Where was this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings and became even more bewildered.

A single dorm room?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital room now.

And his body... how could there be no injuries at all?

With a sense of doubt, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally settling on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance: around seventeen or eighteen years old, and quite handsome.

The problem was, this wasn't him!

His previous self had been a dashing young man in his twenties with an extraordinary demeanor, who had been working for some time.

But now, this appearance looked like that of a high school student, no matter how he looked at it.

This change left Shi Yu in a daze for a long time.

"Don't tell me the surgery was a success..."

His body and face had both changed; this wasn't an issue of surgery at all, but rather immortal magic.

He had completely become another person!

Could it be... he had transmigrated?

Aside from the mirror at the head of the bed, which was clearly positioned poorly according to feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked them up, and the titles instantly left him speechless.

*The Beginner Trainer's Essential Beast Rearing Handbook*

*Post-Natal Care for Companion Beasts*

*A Guide to Appraising Heterogeneous Beast-Eared Girls*

Shi Yu: ???

The first two titles seemed normal enough, 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 shot through his brain, and a flood of memories surged forth.

Icefield City.

Intern Companion Beast Breeder.
