Ao Tian only felt a cold wind sweep across his body, giving him a vague premonition that something was wrong.
Not understanding anything, he obediently took the disguise pill and swallowed it.
After the pill entered his body, only a few breaths passed before he felt a heat surge erupt from his stomach like molten flow.
It's spreading in all directions and wrapping his entire body.
After a wave of numbness and soreness, he suddenly felt an emptiness between his legs and other parts of his body also felt somewhat strange.
Xiao Shou watched as the sturdy and handsome little boy instantly transformed into a delicate and pretty little girl.
He immediately could not help but pounce over and hug Ao Tian, rubbing his face against his while laughing loudly, "Hahaha… my good disciple, you are so super cute now. Come, look, these are all clothes I wore at your age. Which one do you like? Hurry and change into it."
As he spoke, one beautiful little dress after another appeared on the bed, burying Ao Tian underneath them.
After struggling to climb out, Ao Tian had already figured out what had happened to his body.
But at his age, he did not have a strong sense of gender yet, so he only felt a bit embarrassed about becoming a girl.
He puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction and muttered to Xiao Shou, "Master, you are really too bad. How can you turn me into a girl?"
"Being a girl is better! What if you stayed a boy and some pervert took a liking to you? Like this, they definitely will not recognize you." Xiao Shou said this while picking out a dress and handed it to Ao Tian, "Come, put it on and show Master."
After hesitating for a moment, Ao Tian also felt that what his master said made sense.
At only eight years old, how could he possibly guess how petty his master's mind could be.
He happily accepted the dress and tried to put it on, but he did not notice that Xiao Shou at this moment quietly took out a recording jade and slyly placed it nearby, capturing this moment.
In later years, it became his absolute black history, the kind that could never be washed away no matter what.
After Ao Tian took off his torn outer garment full of knife marks, he did not notice that a thumb-sized deep blue bead fell onto the bed.
Xiao Shou saw it and reached out to pick it up.
He only felt a wave of cool energy instantly transmit from the bead into his entire body, making him feel refreshingly comfortable all over.
He tilted his head slightly and handed the bead to Ao Tian who was changing clothes, saying, "Ao Tian, you dropped something."
"Fixing Appearance Pearl…"
The moment the object appeared before him, Ao Tian cried out in shock.
He was naturally intelligent and well-read.
Apart from cultivation techniques, he had already read through all the books in the Ao family library.
In an instant, he recognized the item as a thousand-year Fixing Appearance Pearl.
It was not a top-tier treasure, but it was still something extraordinary that female cultivators especially loved.
He immediately understood the malicious intent of Mao Yisheng.
The hatred that had been temporarily forgotten because of Xiao Shou's teasing immediately filled his heart again.
A flash of viciousness passed through his eyes, then he casually said, "This is a thousand-year Fixing Appearance Pearl. Master, you should keep it. Otherwise, by the time I grow up, you will already have become an old man."
"Stinky brat, without this thing I also will not age. Keep it yourself, and take this storage bag as well. It is your apprenticeship gift."
Xiao Shou removed the second-grade storage bag he usually used to maintain appearances and to prevent others from noticing her three-grade pouch and handed it to Ao Tian.
Inside it were the belongings of an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator.
Ao Tian blankly accepted the storage bag.
He lowered his head and his eyes turned slightly red.
After a few seconds, he suddenly knelt on the bed and reached out to hug Xiao Shou who was standing by the bed.
His voice choked as he said, "Master, can you give me a name? I do not want to take the Ao surname anymore, and I do not want the name that man gave me either."
"Alright, but the name I give you might not sound as nice as your current one."
Xiao Shou understood that Ao Tian was still holding onto the pain of his father's abandonment and betrayal.
He not only refused to acknowledge that father anymore, but also did not want his former name or identity.
Ao Tian nodded and said, "It is fine. As long as it is given by Master, I will like it."
"Mm, in that case." Xiao Shou tilted his head and thought for a moment, then remembered her own future plans and said, "How about taking the name Fu Young? It's my favorite character name."
Ao Tian who is now Fu Young happily nodded. "Then from now on my name will be Fu Young! From now on I will only be Master's disciple, Fu Young."
Looking at Fu Young's serious expression, Xiao Shou nodded.
He reached out and tapped his forehead, pushing him slightly away from his embrace.
He looked him up and down, then smiled faintly at Fu Young with a slightly regretful tone and said, "Sigh, the clothes are a bit big. Try this one instead."
"Ah! Master, you are too bad." Fu Young was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly remembered that he was currently in a girl's body and his face immediately turned red.
Xiao Shou secretly laughed to himself.
He felt that he had vented the frustration from being tricked earlier.
However, there was also a bit of reluctance to stop.
As expected, living alone easily became boring.
It was still more interesting to have someone around, even if it was just a child.
