Bai Nian took off his clothes and jumped into the bathtub. The water submerged most of his body, leaving only his head on the water.
"This body is still too small. It's not convenient to do anything. It would be great if I could grow up quickly." Bainian said helplessly.
"Okay, as long as you exercise diligently and want to grow taller quickly, there will be no problem at all." Guardian Zuo said.
"Ahem, is there any way to grow taller without exercising?" Bai Nian asked with a shy face.
"Yes, you can find some horses, connect your limbs and head to one horse respectively, and then let them pull hard. I guarantee you will grow taller."
"..."
"I regard you as my friend, why do you think I'm a fool?"
"Then why are you thinking about all these things? If you don't exercise and just think about growing taller quickly, aren't you just daydreaming?"
"Ahem, don't I think you have great powers and have solutions?" Bainian said with an apologetic smile.
"Then can you explain to your tribe why you suddenly grew taller?" Guardian Zuo asked.
Bai Nian thought for a while, but he really couldn't explain it.
"What about that? I'm already in the bathtub. Can I start fusing the innate sword body?" Bai Nian asked.
Protector Zuo expressed his contempt for Bai Nian's blunt change of topic.
"Okay, by the way, just a friendly reminder, it would be better if you put a piece of cloth in your mouth."
"Ah? Why?"
"Just do it as you are told. Why are there so many?"
"..., OK, you are great."
Bai Nian did as Zuo Hufa said, picked up the clean and soft cloth next to him and stuffed it in his mouth.
"It's begun."
Before Bai Nian could react, severe pain burst out of his body, as if he had been run over by a heavy truck.
"Bleach!" Bainian growled, biting the cloth in his mouth.
Time passed minute by minute, and for the first time, Bai Nian felt why time passed so slowly.
The pain in his body was very intense, and the pain was getting stronger and stronger, forcing him to stay awake and unable to faint.
A few minutes later, Bai Nian felt that nothing existed in his body. Bones, meridians, and blood were all gone.
If it weren't for the help of Protector Zuo, he would have collapsed in the bathtub and drowned alive.
At this time, a transparent human skeleton emitting colorful light appeared above Bainian's head, exuding a sacred aura.
The colorful bones slowly fell down and blended into Bainian's body bit by bit, blending perfectly with him.
Bai Nian felt something extra in his body, and everything around him suddenly became much clearer in his perception.
An inexplicable power filled his whole body, making his whole soul feel very comfortable.
After all the hardships, the pain comes, and after the severe pain, it feels like being in heaven, and Bainian fell asleep like this.
Invisible force isolated the water around Bainian, and colorful shimmers appeared throughout Bainian's body. Black liquid substance seeped out from Bainian's skin and covered his body.
The transformation was completed unknowingly, and Bainian woke up at this moment.
"Am I asleep?" Bai Nian said confusedly.
"Yes, you fell asleep. Please wash your body quickly, don't you feel dirty?" Guardian Zuo said in disgust.
"I was staying in the bathtub. How could my body be dirty? Do you have a bad brain? It stinks. Damn, what the hell are these things on my body? It's so dirty."
Bai Nian rubbed his body vigorously, and as he rubbed, he suddenly discovered something was wrong.
"Um, why is my skin so tender and white? Did I remember that I don't have yellow skin?" Bainian asked doubtfully.
"Oh, this is the effect brought about by merging the innate sword body. If you want to later, you can still change it back even if you are exposed to the sun every day."
"Okay, that's good." Bainian said assuredly.
I am a grown man, but my body is fairer and tenderer than that of a girl. How does this make sense?
"By the way, Protector Zuo, how about I give you a name? It's not a problem to call you Protector Zuo all the time." Bainian said suddenly.
"Whatever you want, didn't I say, you can call me whatever you want."
"How about I call you Protector Zuo?" Bainian asked.
"Okay, but why do you want to call me this name?"
"Because it sounds good, and I like to look up at the beautiful starry sky." Bai Nian said with a smile.
"Oh. By the way, since your innate sword body has been successfully fused, I will now issue you the first mission."
Novice mission: Swing the sword a thousand times every day until spiritual power is awakened.
Reward: Nine Yang Sword Intent and a mysterious technique
"Spiritual power, can I also awaken spiritual power? Am I not practicing Wuxin swordsmanship?" Bainian asked doubtfully.
Protector Zuo explained: "Wuxin swordsmanship and spiritual power do not conflict, and both can be practiced at the same time."
"Oh, that's it, I understand."
"Master, are you okay yet? Do you need my help?" Xiaorou shouted outside the door.
"Wait a minute, Sister Xiaorou, I'm getting dressed." Bai Nian got up, put on his clothes, and opened the door.
"Master, what have you done? Why is the bathtub so dark and smelly? Is it convenient for you to be in there?" Xiaorou asked with a frown.
When Bai Nian heard this, his face turned green. No matter what he did, he would not be comfortable in the bathtub.
Bai Nian quickly explained: "Sister Xiaorou, I am not in the bathtub."
"Well, I believe the young master. However, the young master should let me wash for you later." Xiaorou said.
"But I'm already so old, I want to wash it myself." Bai Nian said with some "embarrassment".
"Young Master, don't refuse me, or I will tell the Master and Madam what happened today." Xiaorou "threatened".
"Sister Xiaorou, please don't do it. Bah, Sister Xiaorou, I really didn't do that kind of thing. Okay, I promise you it's okay." Bainian said with a "wry smile".
"Hypocritical, you are obviously very happy, but you still pretend to be unhappy." Guardian Zuo said scornfully.
"Hmph, young master, let me bring the bath water and pour it out first."
"Okay, you go."
"By the way, Master, why do I feel that you have become a lot cuter, and your skin is also in good shape." Xiaorou said in surprise.
"No, I've always been like this. Also, please call me handsome, don't call me cute, thank you." Bai Nian said seriously.
"Master, every time you act like a little adult, it makes people feel cuter. Haha, Master, I'll leave first." Xiaorou said with a smile, pinching Bainian's cheek gently,
He got up, took the bath water and left.
Bainian didn't pay attention to Xiaorou's little actions, because he had grown up under Xiaorou's care since he was a child, so the relationship between them has always been very good.
