Keyboard Immortal Chapter 1899: Cross-Dressing Influencer and Shifting Shadows

Chapter 1899: Cross-Dressing Influencer and s.h.i.+fting Shadows

When she heard the question, Bi Linglong’s expression changed greatly. She asked, “Are you alright?” If it weren’t because of where they were,and the fact that the maids and eunuchs could see all of their movements, she would have wanted to reach out to check his forehead for a fever.

“I want to know what you would choose,” Zu An said with a serious expression.

In that instant, Bi Linglong wondered whether there was something not quite right with how they had started the conversation today. She replied, “You and my father are both cultivators, so why would you need people to save you if you fell into water?”

“Imagine that we didn’t have our cultivations, and we couldn't swim. If no one saved us, we could only drown,” Zu An added.

“You’re being serious?” Bi Linglong replied as she stared into his eyes.

Zu An nodded, saying, “I’m serious.”

Bi Linglong fell silent. After a while, she said, “Even though I don’t know why you would ask such a stupid question, I'll still answer it. In that situation, I would save my father, because if I saved you, you would still have all those sweethearts to go through before you got to me.”

Zu An was speechless.

This woman really is formidable. Now I’m the one who feels guilty.

He could only change his question, asking, “If there came a day when I asked you to travel the world with me, would you be willing to elope with me?”

Bi Linglong was stunned. She replied, “Why do we need to elope? His majesty is already gone and no one else would care about us in the capital. Once I become the empress, the entire empire will be in our grasp. Who will be able to get in the way of us anymore? We can just stay together, and who can say a single word about that? Isn’t it great to enjoy the best authority in the capital? Why do we need to roam the world?”

Zu An became silent when he heard her reply. It was as he expected.

Bi Linglong had been raised on the principles of making her clan stronger and wis.h.i.+ng to achieve the pinnacle of authority. She was a capable career woman through and through and had a kind of indescribable infatuation toward authority. Now that she was only a single step away from achieving her dreams, how could she possibly give up?

“Just what is wrong with you today? Why are you asking all these nonsensical questions?” Bi Linglong asked, looking at him worriedly.

“It’s nothing, I was just asking them in pa.s.sing,” Zu An said with a smile. He had already received his answers to some questions, so there was no need to continue asking.

“Right, we’ve already made it through King Jin’s storm, but you can't be so reckless in the future as to kill a prince in public again. I really wonder just where you got that courage from,” Bi Linglong said, shooting him an angry look. She had almost been scared to death by him this time.

Zu An gave her a look and said with a smile, “I have always been quite bold.”

For some reason, Bi Linglong’s face turned red as she remarked, “Hmph, scoundrel.” She quickly collected her thoughts, however, and said, “Right, there was probably someone who incited King Jin behind the scenes. King Jin was used as someone else’s blade without even realizing it. Now, Madam Jin is left all by herself. She really is pitiful, so don’t trouble her anymore.”

Zu An was speechless. He replied, “Am I that ruthless?”

“Of course I know you’re not, but don’t trouble her when the Embroidered Envoy investigates King Jin.”

“Fine,” Zu An said, although he was a bit curious. Just what was so special about Madam Jin that she could actually receive the help of Bi Linglong?

…

The two of them couldn't stay together for too long because of their ident.i.ties. After they spoke for a bit, Bi Linglong could only get up to leave.

As he watched her beautiful figure recede, Zu An sighed. He took out two storage pouches, which were the belongings of Old Mi and Wei Dan that he obtained in the past. Judging from what the libationer’s old servant said, these two had partic.i.p.ated in the schemes against the royal family bloodline. However, he didn’t trust what the servant said completely. Even though the explanation was perfectly reasonable, the topic was just too important. He still had to verify things.

These personal storage pouches likely stored the two's most important items. He wondered if there were any records of what had happened back then. If the information suggested that the events of the past had nothing to do with Bi Qi, that would be a win-win situation for everyone. If there really was a connection, it wouldn’t be too late to think about what to do at that time. Unfortunately, there were restrictions placed on the storage pouches. There was no way to open them through brute force.

Thankfully, he had Mo Xi’s ‘Farewell Nanchao’ skill. However, the skill would only be effective once certain conditions were met. It seemed as if he had to raise Mo Xi’s grade first.

He turned around and returned to Golden Token Eleven’s residence. When he was certain that there was no one around, he took out the Keyboard System. After tallying up the Rage points he received, he found that they had actually reached 564,000!

He was about to start his pulls when he thought of something. He took out some copper coins and carried out a divination for himself. The results showed extreme luck. Zu An was overjoyed to see that. After learning about divination, he could even avoid bad luck when he did the lottery from now on!

He started the lottery system, and the lights rapidly moved around the keyboard. He had gotten used to seeing ‘thank you for playing’ from the start, but the indicator immediately stopped on the letter ‘L’.

Zu An was startled. He was getting lucky right from the start!

He stared at the screen to see what he had ended up pulling this time. He saw a row of text on the holographic screen in front of him.

Congratulations on pulling the skill 'Cross-Dressing Influencer'!

Zu An was stunned. The name gave him a bad feeling.

Skill introduction: In the past, there was a handsome man who had a strange hobby, which was that he liked to wear dresses and appear like a woman. At first, his outfits were crude and he soon became the target of people’s scorn and hatred. However, the heavens do not let down the diligent. One day, his cross-dressing skill reached great heights. When he turned into a woman, no one could see through his disguise anymore. Furthermore, he became the world’s most beautiful woman, someone who received the fondness of countless men.

He had all of the men of the world within his grasp. This lasted until one day, he fell in love with a man. That was when the tragedy began…

Later, his ident.i.ty was exposed. The men who found out the truth were furious. They tied him to a stake and burned him alive.

Warning: Cross-dressing has risks. Cross-dressing brings momentary pleasure, but also more and more pleasure continuously!

Zu An was completely speechless. Just what kind of a warning is this? Why did he feel as if not many of these skills were decent? As he continued to read the description, he prayed for it to please not make him cross-dress, please…

Skill Description: This skill can only be used on a man. After the skill is used, that man can become a woman. His beauty will be raised by a hundred times, and his charm a hundred times, but he will lose all of his other skills until this skill is removed.

Beauty is your weapon. As long as you aren’t too ugly yourself, you can become the world’s number one beauty. There will be no need for fighting, because countless men will be willing to throw themselves into the fire and flames for you.

Friendly reminder 1: Do not rashly look into a mirror after using the skill, because you will easily fall in love with yourself.

Friendly reminder 2: Do not be infatuated with becoming a woman. The more you use this skill, the more your own mind will be affected. You will be imperceptibly influenced and become used to being a woman, and no longer want to become a man.

Zu An felt his entire body go numb when he read all that. He almost threw the bronze coins in his hands away. This was the d.a.m.n extreme luck that the divination had spoken of?

This d.a.m.n skill actually made you a woman! More importantly, you’d lose all of your abilities. With such a huge detriment, who would be insane enough to use such a thing? Besides, what normal man wanted to cross-dress?

No, this isn’t even cross-dressing, this is just completely transforming into a woman!

Even if your beauty and charm is raised a hundredfold, what the h.e.l.l is the point of that?!

What kind of perverted skill is this?!

Zu An continued his pulls with a sulky expression. As he saw the ‘Congratulations on pulling a Ki Fruit’ and ‘Thank you for playing’ messages, he remained in shock. Only when the light indicator stopped on the keyboard’s C key did his mood take a turn for the better.

Congratulations on pulling the skill 's.h.i.+fting Shadows'!

Skill Introduction: Within the range of your divine sense, you can swap positions with any living creatures or objects.

Zu An reflexively continued reading, but there was nothing else.

Huh?

He was used to all sorts of scam skills and was already used to their harsh activation conditions and weird side effects. He was caught off guard now that he had obtained a normal skill. More importantly, the skill didn’t even have any negative effects! It was simple to use, and its effects were even more powerful. It was simply a divine skill!

Even though he had his instant movement skill, there was a cooldown period, but this s.h.i.+fting Shadows didn’t. Furthermore, in certain situations, it would be even more useful. When he thought of that, he couldn't help but smile.

It seems the Baopu Sutra’s divination is accurate after all. My pulls really were extremely lucky.

After totaling it up, he had a sum of 610 Ki Fruits. It was also quite a bit higher than usual.

He summoned Mo Xi. Soon after, the fiery, tan-skinned Xia Dynasty beauty appeared in her miniskirt and strapless top. When she saw him, Mo Xi immediately reached out her little hand for Ki Fruits. She was clearly already addicted to the taste.

Zu An took out everything he had saved up and threw it all into her mouth at once. There was so much that Mo Xi even choked along the way. Zu An gently patted her back so that she could catch her breath and continue eating. Perhaps because of the fact that he fed her often, she now had a much better impression of him and wasn’t opposed to that degree of bodily contact.

He'd had a total of 424 leftover from last time. Together with the 610, they took her from the peak of fifth rank all the way to seventh. However, the seventh rank needed 1200 Ki Fruits, and the eighth rank needed 1800. The higher they went, the more difficult it became. According to the speed at which the requirements built up, it didn’t seem as if he would be able to undo the restrictions on the two storage pouches anytime soon.

He suddenly thought of something. The Baopu Sutra had pill refinement methods. He could try to refine some Ki Condensation Pills to raise Mo Xi’s cultivation in place of the Ki Fruits.
