The Emperor's Daughter Arrives: Upgrade to Fight Monsters and Find Husbands

Huai Yin closed his eyes, and slowly, his figure became visibly more solid.

Jiutang raised his hand and touched the small tree beside him with some relief. After several months, Huaiyin finally grew up a little.

Feeling the spiritual energy beginning to fill up his body, Huai Yin opened his eyes and sighed: "I didn't expect that in this world, there are still people with this kind of thing. Where did you get this thing from?"

Jiutang looked up at the blue sky in Hongmengtian, folded his arms and sat under the tree, pulling the herbs growing well beside him. Very good, not moving at all, very energetic.

"It's my first time at the academy... well, it's my second time at the academy. I thought everything was fine, but I met a strange girl... Haha, you didn't expect it, it's actually a boy."

Jiutang changed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and threw out these words slowly.

Hearing her say this, not only Huai Yin was surprised, but the beasts present also became alert, with all their eyes focused on her face.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a man." Jiutang touched his face, "Why, is it weird?"

Huaiyin and several beasts have been in Hongmengtian and are very bored. In their spare time, they like to watch what Jiutang is doing outside. Of course, they also saw that the jade in Jiutang's hand was taken from the classmate named Xiyang.

The beasts were still angry for a while. The master did nothing, but the guy named Xiyang came up and provoked them. It was too much.

They looked very carefully and it was clear that the person was a girl.

"Owner?"

Although several animals were a little dazed, Zhuzhu's performance was the most obvious.

"I really discovered it unintentionally. Who would have the time to suspect that a classmate was dressed as a woman in the academy?

You saw it, during lunch, she insisted on making a move, so I just grabbed her wrist. Hey, guess what, it was a man!"

Jiutang uttered these words slowly, and after he finished speaking, the scene was silent for a moment.

"Really, I'm not lying to you." Jiutang added this sentence when he saw that the beasts still didn't believe it.

"No, then, why did he become a woman?" Xiaoyu spoke first, "Could it be that this person has some strange habits?"

Jiutang was also puzzled and nodded seriously: "Well, it's hard to say... I couldn't believe it at the time.

But it seems that even Li Wei and the others are unaware of this matter, so I will just pretend that I don’t know. It’s normal for people to have some little secrets.”

Xi Yang is really an interesting person. She looks and behaves like a woman. Only by taking her pulse can you tell that she is a man.

However, no matter why Xi Yang wanted to dress up as a woman, it was his private matter, and she naturally didn't bother to find out. After all, she used to like dressing up as a man. Moreover, he just showed his goodwill by giving her something.

It was enough to show that she...he was not as unreasonable as he appeared at the beginning.

But she felt that Xi Yang was a little too immersed in his acting. His classmates in the academy all called him "sister". It was okay for a short time, but it seemed that this situation had been going on for at least decades, and he didn't even feel awkward.

Jiutang sighed: After playing the role for a long time, she was really worried that Xiyang would forget that he was a boy...

Jiu Tang raised his hand, and a small red bead appeared in his hand: "I have to say, the fire spiritual power he condensed is quite pure. Judging from this, it is estimated that he should have a fire talent of more than ten stars."

Otherwise, how can we say that there are many hidden talents in this academy? For an academy with such a bad reputation outside, it seems that no one should be underestimated now.

Take Xi Yang for example. He is still very young - although he is a little older than her, he has already reached the Jindan stage. He has the extremely rare Yin-Yang double swords and the two pet beasts in his hands.

She had just carefully observed the other thirty or so classmates. It was said that half of them were poor children picked up by the dean, but most of them had good talents. Although there were a few with mediocre talents, they now had achievements beyond their age.

Everyone has their own characteristics.

"Master, if you ask me, that bad woman... no, that bad man. The bad man is giving you something now just to let you relax your guard so that he can do something secretly behind your back!"

Jiutang tapped the branch that Xiaoyu stretched out and said, "Don't worry about what he thinks. Just be more careful next time."

"Xi Yang agreed to lend it to me for three months. During these three months, you can recover well." Jiu Tang touched the small tree beside him again, and found a small bud emerging from the trunk with his sharp eyes.

Huai Yin coughed softly: "What are you going to do now?"

Jiutang took out a booklet, which was the book on puppet cultivation techniques that Teacher Su Yue had given her: "Teacher Su Yue said that I should figure it out on my own."

"Xiao Yu, pull out some more silk from that enchanting spider." Jiu Tang ordered.

Ever since the bewildering spider king was tied up in Hongmeng Heaven, Xiaoyu has marked out a very small area for it to move around. Now it has recovered, and with the nourishment of Hongmeng Heaven's spiritual energy, its cultivation has even improved a bit, and it's full of energy and vomits everywhere every day.

If she hadn't given some extra spider silk to Dongfang Xiao and Hu Zi Baozi after arriving at the academy, she would have been worried about what to do with the mountain of spider silk.

"okay."

Xiaoyu rushed out and came back soon with a ball of white silk thread hooked on the tip of its tail.

Jiutang felt around in the storage space and took out a pile of thousand-faced lotus roots—these were the extras from Dongfang Xiao. Now with some small auxiliary parts, the materials for refining the puppet were complete.

"Master, open it quickly and take a look first."

Zhuzhu nudged the book in front of Jiutang, seeming a little impatient.

According to legend, there are people who have mastered puppetry to the highest level, and can use anything they want. The objects they create can even have their own minds and emotions, just like a real person - and they are always loyal to their creator.

Just one person can have the ability to rival thousands of troops.

If it is really as magical as the legend says, then the owner will be able to create many obedient puppets to play with it.

"Hush, keep your voice down." Jiutang put her index finger to her lips and whispered. The book didn't look very sturdy, and she was worried that she would tear it if she used too much force.

Jiutang's slender fingertips slid across the large characters on the book. As she moved, a stream of light suddenly flowed over the characters, carrying faint spots of light, which then disappeared into the handwriting in an instant.

A'Yan coiled around Jiutang's head with a "swoosh", and looked at the movements of Jiutang's hands with curiosity in his big eyes.

Jiutang slowly opened the book.

The first page.

There was a huge blank space, and several pairs of eyes looked at each other.

Zhuzhu cried out, "Ah? Where are the words?"

Jiu Tang half raised his head and stared at Zhu Zhu in front of him: "Read the book, don't look at me, there are no words on my face."

"Or...or look behind?" Zhuzhu suggested in a low voice.

Zhuzhu's little face was full of anticipation - maybe it was just the first page that was left blank.

Jiutang curled the corners of her mouth. She didn't have much hope for the next page. After all, the paper was so thin and fragile. If there were words on the next page, they would be revealed to some extent on the first page.

With his fingertips on the corner of the book, Jiutang turned to the second page.

The second page.

It's also blank.

"Uh..." The man and four beasts present looked at each other in silence.

"Ahem, mother, have you been fooled?"
