"Gender? I don't have a gender," Yun Wuying shook its head, a flicker of confusion crossing its features at the sudden question. It was born from the Power of Extinction. It had no parents and, strictly speaking, was not a biological life form.
"Genderless, heh," Yun Wuji nodded faintly. Well, that was better than being a male. He started to feel a little weird because of Hei Xiaolian's stupid comment earlier.
Yun Wuying noticed that he was acting strangely. It didn't want to upset its first friend, so it said, "I can change into any gender, but once I decide on it, I will have to stick to it forever."
"Really?" Yun Wuji's eyes widened in surprise. "Would this affect your strength? Or your recovery?"
"No, it has no effect on me," Yun Wuying answered. It asked, "You seem concerned about my gender. Which one would you like me to change to?"
"Female, of course! I bet you'll be a beautiful woman," Yun Wuji said without any hesitation. It was somewhat interesting to have a male friend, since aside from Yun Che, he had no others. But if he had to choose who would be sticking with him for a long time, he would rather it be a female.
Having male friends is fine, but having a freaking male stuck to you all the time is definitely not, and it's incredibly inconvenient as well.
"Female? Alright." Yun Wuying noticed that Yun Wuji's smile was strange, as if he were already planning something. But since this was a request from her first friend, and it wouldn't harm her in any way, she didn't mind fulfilling it.
Her body began to vibrate, and at the same time, black light enveloped her. This time it took several times longer than when it had reduced her size. Beneath the dark glow, her body was undergoing a profound transformation.
When the light receded, Yun Wuji found himself facing a body of immaculate, pure white perfection.
Her beauty alone was enough to bring about the fall of a nation. If he were to describe her with a single word, it would be 'perfect'. In truth, seeing her up close made it almost impossible to believe that such a beauty could exist in this world.
Soft hair, beautiful eyes, crescent-shaped brows, lips like cherries... every part of her face, even the smallest detail, was breathtakingly exquisite. At the same time, she gave off a divine aura that made one want to submit to them and not offend her at all.
She stood completely naked, her flawless body and exquisite curves laid bare. Her breasts and hips were full and shapely, while her waist was slender and graceful.
"Shit! You really hit the jackpot! Damn, she's so beautiful that even I can't help feeling a little jealous. Don't you think so, Li Suo?" Hei Xiaolian's voice rang out in his mind, filled with astonishment at Yun Wuying's appearance.
"...Yes," Li Suo replied, rolling her eyes at Hei Xiaolian before speaking. Wasn't this the same woman who had been throwing subtle jabs at her just moments ago? Why was she acting so normal now? 'I'd better not take this quirky woman seriously in the future, or I'll end up developing mental issues because of her,' Li Suo thought to herself.
"Beautiful," Yun Wuji murmured as he stared at Yun Wuying for a long time. He had originally thought she would transform into some dark, humanoid female creature, but to think she would become such a devastatingly beautiful woman instead left him speechless. Her beauty stood on par with Qianye Ying'er and Shen Xi, the kind of beauty that could utterly shatter a person's rationality.
Fortunately, Yun Wuji was already accustomed to such beauty. He quickly composed himself and, with a wave of his hand, a clean white robe appeared, which he draped around her. "You shouldn't keep your body exposed in front of others in the future," he said.
"Hmm, I know," Yun Wuying said, holding the robe around her body, and in a flash, she was fully dressed. She smiled at him and added, "I only showed my body to you because it is you."
"..." Yun Wuji froze mid-movement for a split second.
"Direct counterattack! Hahaha! She launched a counterattack! This woman is a natural born!" Hei Xiaolian patted Li Suo's shoulder, laughing at Yun Wuji's stunned reaction. The world was truly entertaining, with something interesting happening every single day.
In the past, she had been tricked into slumber for billions of years by those bastards, the Devil Emperors! Damn it, what a massive waste of fun! Fortunately, she had met Yun Wuji, the one who saved her.
...
Half a day later, Yun Wuji returned to the house, this time with a new companion. As soon as he passed through the barrier surrounding the house, Helian Lingzhu threw open the door and ran to him. Behind her, Shenwu Youluan stood at the doorway, her gaze lingering on Yun Wuji for a moment before shifting to the masked figure standing behind him.
"Wuji!" Helian Lingzhu leaped at him, as she always did, clinging to him like the IRS just found out you skipped your taxes.
Yun Wuji held her with one arm around her back and the other resting on her full, rounded butt. Lately, her figure had been improving steadily, and even the inferiority complex she once carried was gradually fading. He smiled at her, giving her fat ass a gentle squeeze. "I only went out for a few days. Did you miss me?"
"Hmm! Even if I didn't see you for a minute, I'd miss you terribly," Helian Lingzhu said, pressing a quick kiss to his lips, her eyes overflowing with affection and love.
"My Lingzhu has learned how to speak sweetly," Yun Wuji chuckled, returning her kiss.
"Hehe, I, on the other hand, never miss you, since I'm stuck with you every single minute and every second," Hei Xiaolian said, watching the two of them with an arrogantly amused expression.
"To have so many women love you this much is something no man could ever imagine. You better not let any of them down," Li Suo sighed, marveling at the depth of affection Helian Lingzhu and the other women of Primal Chaos held for Yun Wuji.
"Don't worry. They are women I cherish more than anything. I'll never let any of them get hurt," Yun Wuji said seriously, then added, "That also applies to you, Li Suo."
"..." Li Suo fell silent. No one knew why… truly, no one knew.
"Who is this?" After replenishing enough of her 'Wuji' energy, Helian Lingzhu finally released him and took a moment to look around. She noticed a masked woman standing beside him and asked.
Because of Yun Wuying's ridiculous beauty, she had chosen to wear a mask to avoid unnecessary trouble. On their way here, they had encountered multiple people who lost their minds at the sight of her face and attempted the predictable actions most clichéd cultivators would take upon seeing a jade beauty.
They, of course, ended up reduced to fine dust.
"Nice to meet you, I am Yun Wuying, Wuji's friend," Yun Wuying said, her voice soft and ethereal, leaving both Helian Lingzhu and Shenwu Youluan momentarily dazed.
Yun Wuji had already anticipated their reaction, though he wondered how they would respond once they saw her face. At the same time, a random thought crossed his mind. If Yun Wuying was this stunning, and Jie Yuan was also breathtakingly beautiful, and although he had never seen Li Suo, she must be an extraordinarily beautiful woman, perhaps surpassing even Qianye Ying'er and Shen Xi, then just how beautiful must the Ancestral Goddess, the creator of it all, be?
Unfortunately, it was a question destined to remain unanswered, for he would never allow Xiao Lingxi to die.
"I am Helian Lingzhu, pleased to meet you!" Helian Lingzhu quickly regained her composure and greeted her with a warm smile. "Since you are Wuji's friend, then you are also my friend. Let's go inside." Sensing that the bond between the two of them must be extraordinary, especially given that they strangely enough shared the same surname, she decided she would have to ask Yun Wuji more about it later.
"Another friend?" Yun Wuying blinked her luminous eyes and followed behind them, her gaze fixed on Helian Lingzhu. She wondered if it was really that easy to make friends. Leaning closer to Yun Wuji, she silently stared at his side profile.
"Yun Wuji, it's good to see you back safe," Shenwu Youluan said with a smile as they entered.
Yun Wuji gave her a slight nod and walked past. Since displaying his power against Hua Qingying, the way Shenwu Youluan regarded him had changed; it was as if she were staring at a True God. At the same time, however, it seemed she was struggling with something she wanted to tell him.
He knew this was probably related to the Eternal Night Kingdom of God, but he certainly would not be the one to bring it up. After all, it was she who was seeking help, not him.
"Since we have a new member in the house, this calls for a celebration!" Yun Wuji set aside the other matters for now; the most important thing was to make Yun Wuying feel at home. He began assigning roles. "Lingzhu, you'll help me with the cooking. Youluan, you'll set up the table."
"And you, Wuying, will be in charge of the decorations!"
"Me?" Yun Wuying asked, confused. What exactly was decoration anyway?
"Yes, everyone needs to do their share of the work. If you don't know something, ask me, Lingzhu, or Youluan for help." There was nothing better to make someone feel a sense of belonging than working together toward the same goal, even if the goal seemed insignificant.
"Alright," Yun Wuying blinked, and then her lips involuntarily curved into a smile. Although she didn't know what her decision to leave the Abyss of Death would bring in the future, for now, she was thoroughly enjoying this moment.
...
At the same time, while Yun Wuji and the others prepared their small celebratory banquet, a lone female figure was making her way toward them from afar.
