Holy crap, the Saintess is robbing people~

What should he do?

After thinking for a moment, Lin Fan shook his head. "Sigh, sooner or later this will be my body anyway. Everyone has their urgent needs; it can't be helped."

"Cough, cough..."

The logic was sound enough.

But Lin Fan still felt incredibly awkward.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, he had never even held a girl's hand. And now he had to... especially with such a beautiful and noble Saintess. Cough, cough, cough.

"Didn't they say cultivators had no impurities in their bodies? Sigh, I looked everywhere, but there isn't even a toilet. Didn't ancient times have chamber pots?"

"No helping it. At least there's a flowerpot. It'll have to suffer a little."

Naturally, he did not know that because he did not know how to cultivate at all, the food he ate could not be transformed into spiritual energy. Thus, impurities naturally remained.

Rustle, rustle...

"Why is this long dress so troublesome?"

"How do you take this thing off?!"

After a round of fumbling, he had nearly stripped himself bare before finally resolving one of life's three urgencies. Then, Lin Fan began pondering again.

What he did not notice was that the plant in the flowerpot he had just peed in was actually trembling slightly.

What Lin Fan knew even less was that the Servant Disciple who had come to repair the door earlier was now chatting with his senior brother.

"Senior Brother, I'll tell you a secret, but you absolutely mustn't let it leak out, or this junior brother of yours is dead for sure!"

"Rest assured, Junior Brother. Don't you trust me? My mouth is sealed tighter than a vault."

"That's good... Earlier, I went to repair the Saintess's door."

"Huh? The Saintess? Repairing a door?"

"Exactly! I secretly glanced at her, and the Saintess's face was frosty... She must have failed her breakthrough and smashed the door in anger."

"Is that true?!"

"Absolutely true. But Senior Brother, you absolutely mustn't spread it around!"

"Of course..."

The junior brother left.

But his senior brother's eyes spun, and he went to find his own senior brother.

"Senior Brother, did you know? I heard the Saintess failed her closed-door breakthrough, suffered a drastic change in temperament, smashed her room door, and had a face covered in ice... You absolutely mustn't spread it around."

"What?!"

This man then found his friend. "Hiss, I heard the Saintess failed her closed-door breakthrough. Not only was her whole body frozen over, even her personality changed completely!"

One spread it to ten, ten spread it to a hundred...

Three men made a tiger.

This bit of gossip quickly began spreading through the outer sect of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, growing more outrageous with every retelling.

But Lin Fan knew nothing of any of it.

At the same time, on the streets of C City.

Qi Zixiao controlled Lin Fan's body. As she walked, her entire body suddenly shuddered, and an unusual sensation became unbearable.

In truth, this feeling had been there for a long time. She had kept enduring it, but by now, she truly could not bear it any longer.

"Mortals truly are troublesome..."

She was about to lose control!

Her expression was strange, but vigilance suddenly rose in her heart.

"I once thought my state of mind had long since reached the realm where even the sky collapsing would not startle me. Yet now it seems I still have a long way to go."

"The three urgencies of man are normal bodily functions. Why should I resist them?"

"Could this be why I made no progress after a month of seclusion, and nearly suffered qi deviation when I forcibly ended it?"

Over this period, Qi Zixiao had gradually formed a suspicion.

She had originally been cultivating in seclusion in her room. A full month had passed without the slightest progress. Seeing that only a year remained before the Contention of the First Sequence, she had grown anxious and forcibly attempted a breakthrough.

The result was a reversal of her qi and blood, and she had nearly suffered qi deviation.

After great difficulty, she suppressed the reversed qi and blood, only to fall unconscious. When she awoke, she was here, turned into... a man.

Transmigration?

To Qi Zixiao, Body Seizing was the more fitting term.

In her view, she had likely seized this man's body. As for exactly how it had happened, she did not know.

But now was not the time to dwell on that.

She quickly found an unoccupied corner and resolved the matter of "peeing."

During the process...

Even though Qi Zixiao repeatedly told herself to stay calm, she still could not help feeling embarrassed, her face flushing red...

Fortunately, it was finally over.

Qi Zixiao turned around, feeling refreshed all over, only to discover a middle-aged woman staring at her.

Once she noticed that Qi Zixiao had seen her, the woman lifted her chin, turned, and left behind only two words...

"Pervert!"

Qi Zixiao: "..."

Leaving that deserted spot.

Qi Zixiao still had no destination. She knew far too little about this world; everything was far too unfamiliar.

Whether it was the cars speeding past, the little boxes in people's hands, or the various goods in the shops, it was all the same.

Yet when the roof leaked, rain came pouring through all night.

A gnawing hunger gradually struck. Qi Zixiao was helpless, but she could only accept the fact.

Ordinary people had not achieved Grain Avoidance, so naturally they needed to eat.

Even cultivators could not completely achieve Grain Avoidance before reaching the Golden Core stage.

So now, the question was...

She had searched this body as well. There were no Spirit Stones, nor was there the gold and silver used by ordinary people. Could it be...

Was she, the dignified Saintess, going to have to rob someone for food?!

But the hunger grew ever stronger, too unbearable to endure.

With no other choice, Qi Zixiao could only comfort herself.

"Fortunately, no one knows I am the Saintess of the Purple Mansion Holy Land right now. Even if I rob someone... it probably won't be a problem, will it?"

Work?

Working was impossible. She could never work in this lifetime.

For Qi Zixiao, who had grown up in the cultivation world and had barely ever left the Purple Mansion Holy Land, what was work? Her master had always said that this world was one where the strong devoured the weak...

So robbing a little food was reasonable, perfectly normal, right?

She could not help touching her abdomen as she began to think.

What should she rob?!

She had indeed seen many people eating, but she had never seen any of those foods before, and none of them contained the slightest spiritual energy...

"I have been blinded by appearances."

Suddenly, she shook her head with a smile. "Since none of it contains spiritual energy and it is merely meant to fill the stomach, why should I trouble myself over it?"

"Then... that one."

Her gaze drifted toward the Steamed bun shop ahead.

Quite a few people were lining up there, and an enticing fragrance drifted over from time to time.

Those two points were enough to prove that this unknown food should taste rather good.

Then...

She went to line up.

After waiting for quite a while, it was finally her turn. The proprietress asked with a smile, "Handsome, what would you like?"

"I..."

Qi Zixiao opened her mouth, then ultimately decided to say nothing. Gritting her teeth, she instantly scooped up an entire steamer basket in front of her, turned, and ran!

She was so fast that it left people dumbfounded.

Proprietress: "?????"

The many customers in line: "????"

"Holy crap, she's robbing steamed buns!!!"

By the time they came to their senses and a commotion broke out, Qi Zixiao had already vanished without a trace.

A moment later, in a corner, Qi Zixiao clutched a steamer basket full of buns, panting heavily. It was not hard to see from her eyes that she was somewhat excited.

After all... this was her first time "robbing" someone.
