The next morning, Liuli groggily crawled out of bed. She sat on the bed in a daze for quite a while before reluctantly throwing off the covers and getting up.
After washing up, she first changed into a rather oversized blue dress, the loose clothing visibly a size too large even for her. Then she gently closed her eyes, circulated her Dou Qi, and activated "Spirit Condensation Absolute."
Streams of silver energy emerged from her body and slowly formed a humanoid figure a foot in front of her. When the silver light faded, a naked "Liuli," as though she had been cloned, appeared.
The two young girls stood face-to-face. After a few seconds, both nodded in satisfaction.
After controlling the duplicate to get dressed and braid her long hair, Liuli took out a white Face-Shaping Pill from her Storage Ring and swallowed it.
Wisps of white light rose up and swiftly enveloped her. The girl's body also began to grow taller and fuller. More than ten breaths later, her former outward appearance as "Yu Gongtian" had taken shape.
She raised an arm and kneaded the duplicate's soft little cheek, muttering dejectedly, "She's pretty, but why does she look so delicate?"
The duplicate could only make muffled, indignant noises.
Then she looked at the body that was half a head shorter and spoke even more resentfully. "And she's such a little runt... barely one-sixty, I guess..."
She was nowhere near the mature-sister style anyway...
"Forget it. Zi Yan is shorter than me, anyway." After giving up on herself for a moment, Liuli took the duplicate's hand and pushed open the door to leave the room.
"Time to deal with that bunch of annoying old men."
Their destination was the colossal entity beside Jia Ma Holy City—the Misty Cloud Sect!
