484: Chapter 362 All Lovers Eventually Become Married Couples_2 484: Chapter 362 All Lovers Eventually Become Married Couples_2 Eryao still had to hum in front of Green Ox, showing contempt for its weakness.
This ordinary ox, during this round of evolution, had already reached the Transformation Stage, revealing its new ability.
It suddenly transformed into a youth quite similar to Eryao’s previous form, managing to resemble him by about thirty percent.
“You dumb ox, why did you transform into my likeness?
Are you asking for a beating?”
Everyone was impressed as Green Ox just transformed, shining in their eyes.
Did this ox also possess this ability?
Jiang Tang was delighted, his two pets had evolved into human forms, pets that could stay by his side forever.
Just as Jiang Tang thought to give Green Ox a thumbs-up to praise it, he saw Eryao’s angry, puffed-face expression.
In his anger, Eryao also transformed into a youth, but to avoid looking like brothers with Green Ox, he took on another appearance, one that the ladies found even more handsome than before.
If they didn’t know this pet wasn’t human, would the women facing such handsome men fall in love with them?
Would there be a love affair between humans and demons?
Such tales had occurred before, stories of humans and demons in myths and legends.
Yet in the Cultivation World, they had not seen this for themselves, because they were the elite of their families, and such actions were not permitted for them.
Perhaps myths are just myths.
But a million years ago, humans, demons, ghosts, all kinds of cultivators could ascend, they suffered together, formed emotional bonds, became partners, and thus these love stories have survived.
Green Ox transformed into a youth quite similar to what Eryao had imagined before, but Eryao disliked their resemblance and changed into another, even more handsome, pretty-boy look.
Having just transformed into a human form, Green Ox was still not quite used to using his hands; he wanted to scratch the ground with his hand to express his vexation.
It was hard enough to transform, and now he was scorned by his companion.
Eryao’s current appearance was quite similar to his master’s – both handsome pretty-boys.
Was he trying to imitate them?
“Eryao, why did you change your look?”
The first time Green Ox spoke human language, his buzzing voice was somewhat mature, not at all like that of a youth.
“What’s the harm in me disdaining you?
Didn’t you see that you almost looked like my former self when you transformed?
And with that voice of yours, you sound like an old man; you might as well take the form of one.
Transforming into this youthful appearance, are you trying to seduce young girls?”
Eryao paused and then said, “I think you should just turn into an old man; don’t go causing trouble for young girls.
The moment you open your mouth, you give away your deceit.”
The innocent look on Green Ox’s face – deep inside, he thought, well, doesn’t our master share a bit of resemblance with you with those pretty-boy looks?
How many women are you mesmerizing?
But he dared not voice these thoughts out loud.
Now that he could speak human words, he couldn’t just say anything.
He was still afraid of being beaten, although he could take a beating well, but against his master’s formidable form, he couldn’t withstand a punch!
Green Ox retained the appearance of one who was scolded and wronged, hanging his head low; nobody knew what he was really thinking, but his pitiful look made the female onlookers find him very adorable.
They realized, after witnessing the transformation of the pets, one was a chatty, domineering character, and the other – a wronged little wife.
If they didn’t know both were males, one might wonder if they could become a pair.
“Hmph, who are you showing that pitiful look to?
Ah… did I say something wrong?
You’re too mischievous!”
Eryao still couldn’t control his mouth, spewing out chatty criticisms.
Those who had seen him scold Green Ox several times were already used to his loose tongue.
Jiang Tang, even more so, was accustomed to Eryao’s tendency to bully Green Ox, protect it, the two extremes!
As the master, he chose to just watch the drama, feeling that if he didn’t hear Eryao’s chatter for a day, it would feel very quiet.
Because the ladies by his side were too ladylike and wouldn’t show their true colors like Eryao, Jiang Tang actually preferred this frankness – speak your mind, vent, and then it’s all good.
This surely beats those who keep their feelings hidden, holding onto small grudges, and then exploding all at once!
“Eryao, you’re so cool!” Green Ox was made to feel ashamed, but, Eryao did have a point – his voice was too old, it needed to be sweeter!
“Oh my, what’s with the effeminate act?
You, you dead eunuch!”
Eryao and everyone else couldn’t help but get goosebumps upon hearing Green Ox’s tone.
A young boy speaking in such a manner was akin to almost making that distinctive finger gesture!
Eryao continued to scold fervently, criticizing Green Ox for anything but learning the proper way of conduct!
The words Eryao hurled out were a puzzle to Green Ox, which didn’t quite understand the outside world!
As for what a eunuch was and the effeminate tone mentioned by Eryao, it didn’t grasp such things and only knew that girls tend to speak in a delicate manner!
Especially the girls around their master, who always spoke with such tenderness, even the most formidable among them became like a little lamb in front of the master.
How could Green Ox understand the difference between men and women!
“Eryao, didn’t you say that the tone of my speech was too old?
Now when I speak, you are again dissatisfied.
If this is wrong and that is wrong, what should I do now?”
“Speak like your bro, me!
Understood, dummy?”
Eryao’s finger *snap* struck Green Ox on the head.
Everyone who heard the loud snap thought Green Ox’s head must be in pain.
But Green Ox didn’t feel pain at all; its body had evolved, and naturally, its hide was quite thick.
The sound from Eryao’s strike was loud, making Eryao’s hand hurt instead of Green Ox’s head.
“Ow, that hurts!”
“Pretend, just keep pretending.
Is that pitiful act all you know?”
The slap from Eryao was indeed loud and didn’t hurt his hand.
Knowing Green Ox’s usual antics, he couldn’t contain his irritation and began another round of scolding.
The group didn’t sit on the stone slabs used by the monkeys before in the cave but instead cleaned up three caves to make them spotless.
Nobody took out cushions from their Storage Bags.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tang took out chairs and tables, and considering how much time had passed, he believed everyone must be hungry by now and started helping with cooking the rice and meat.
Today, they had located a great place and he felt it was reason enough for celebration, so he took out some fine wine for everyone to drink!
This time, Eryao and Green Ox were not keen on returning to their master’s Spirit Field Space so soon.
They had transformed into human-like forms and chose to struggle alongside their masters.
Before embarking on that struggle, having a hearty meal and drink was essential.
They also knew that they had to avoid revealing too much in front of many people and needed to return to the space to help their master manage things.
However, they could not be absent from the current celebration, which centered around eating and drinking.
The two pets had always been captivated by Jiang Tang’s exquisite culinary skills.
Jiang Tang wasn’t any renowned chef; before his soul transmigrated to this world, he was just a student who couldn’t tell the difference between salt and sugar.
Now at the age of a college student, having come from a somewhat wealthy family, he hadn’t known much hardship from a young age.
The fact that he had survived the initial period in the Cultivation World was a testament to his strong willpower.
Of course, his culinary skills weren’t inherited from this body.
Before, in that village, one could never expect to eat anything gourmet.
A minor Golden Core Elder could have exterminated the entire population of several villages.
His miraculous survival was due to his Spiritual Root, which helped him endure through sickness and starvation.
Jiang Tang’s culinary prowess certainly owed much to the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space’s Secret Manuals.
They trained Jiang Tang to be an all-around person, with cooking skills being akin to an elective course in cultivation—just like other skills, such as Alchemy, which Jiang Tang had yet to master.
Since arriving in the Cultivation World, Jiang Tang had to learn to store all sorts of skills and had gone through some tough times, which in retrospect felt like a paid life experience.
If he hadn’t had his Golden Finger, he wouldn’t be where he was today; he felt grateful to the creator of the space.
He didn’t know who the space’s previous master was, as they left no trace behind.
Jiang Tang felt that if he ever got the chance, he would also learn Artifact Refining, like his friend Ye Tian.
The Magical Treasures Ye Tian created always seemed to have a touch of high-tech to them, which made this man wonder if Ye Tian had also traversed worlds and where his Golden Finger might be!
However, that Heavenly God Guardian, a figure as imposing as a General, was recognized by both officialdom and the people.
