Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 367 The Peerless Brilliance of Jia Baoyu

Through this intentional or unintentional cultivation, Jia Baoyu's appearance gradually changed. His originally large face became thinner, making his overall features more three-dimensional. However, his body was too covered in cosmetics, so this change did not make his appearance stand out particularly.

Jia Baoyu himself didn't think so, but when he looked in the mirror, he saw that his eyebrows and eyes had become more dashing and unrestrained, which made him even happier. He looked in the mirror several times a day, and his mood became more cheerful.

Little did she know that her actions were all observed by the head maid, Xiren, who secretly felt anxious.

Originally, when Jia Baoyu dreamt of entering the Fairy Realm of Illusion at Qin Keqing's place and regained his worldly senses, it was Xiren who helped clean up the mess. When she saw the filthy things on the clothes, Xiren was both ashamed and happy.

She was a bit older than Jia Baoyu, and girls are naturally more sensible than adults. After being assigned to Jia Baoyu's side, she was single-mindedly thinking about climbing into his bed so that she could become his concubine in the future.

Now that Jia Baoyu has gained worldly wisdom, it is precisely the time for her to put her talents to use. She secretly thinks of finding an opportunity to truly test herself with Baoyu.

Unexpectedly, after that day, although Jia Baoyu continued to joke and play with his sisters every day, she never found any suspicious liquid when washing his clothes.

She occasionally tried to probe him, but never received a positive response from Jia Baoyu.

In Xiren's opinion, perhaps Jia Baoyu's heart was captivated by another maid, who knows?

Xiren was unaware that Jia Baoyu had cultivated the "Flower Heart Method," which meant he had entered the stage of refining essence into qi and possessed the ability to seal and lock essence. As long as he did not entertain any thoughts that would disrupt his cultivation, certain things would no longer overflow.

Xiren thought that if she waited for Jia Baoyu to ask her for help, and then she was half-hearted and reluctant, it would probably not work out.

After waiting for several days without seeing Jia Baoyu make any move, Xiren was afraid that the other maids would beat her to it, so she found an excuse to first coax the other maids away, then changed into a red bellyband and went to serve Jia Baoyu in just her undergarments. When she was making the bed and folding the quilts, her soft and white skin was faintly visible, which aroused Jia Baoyu to peek at her frequently.

"Good sister! Is the white peony embroidered on your bodice?"

“I see the stitches are fine and the pattern is excellent. If you embroidered it yourself, sister, why don’t you embroider one for me too?” After looking at it for a while, Jia Baoyu didn’t stand on ceremony and went straight to pull at Xiren’s undergarment, wanting to see the inner bodice clearly.

Xiren pretended to push him away, but Jia Baoyu still succeeded. She was just waiting for this young master Bao to lose his temper, but she saw him lying there looking at the patterns with great interest, without any intention of exploring the details.

Xi Ren was annoyed, but smiled and said, "If Second Master wants to take a closer look, how about I go next door to change out of this undergarment and then show it to you?"

Baoyu waved his hand and said, "Why bother with all this? Sister, just take it off here."

A hint of joy flashed in Xiren's eyes, but she still declined, saying, "Second Master, men and women are different after all!"

Jia Baoyu felt a little displeased, but then he remembered Qiu Chuji's instructions and said, "Alright! Go and exchange it, don't delay."

Upon hearing this, Xiren's heart tightened, and she thought to herself, "This is bad!"

"Second Master is right! Then I'll untie it right here and show it to you!"

"We can't let outsiders see this anyway!"

As she spoke, she deliberately turned to the side, changing to a slightly hidden angle, before untying the red ropes behind her neck and waist, taking off her bodice, and then covering her chest with one hand while handing the bodice to Jia Baoyu with the other.

Jia Baoyu took the undergarment and smelled its fragrance, which stirred his heart.

Looking up at Xiren again, he saw the beautiful woman, shy and alluring, looking at him hesitantly, a picture of wanting to refuse but also wanting to accept.

How could Jia Baoyu possibly bear this?

She then threw off her undergarment and pounced on Xiren.

Please search for details yourself...

After some effort, Jia Baoyu's internal energy circulation speed increased slightly, and his already fair skin became more lustrous and moisturized. However, since it was still his first time trying it, no abnormalities were yet apparent.

Having witnessed firsthand how Jia Baoyu was seduced by a pretty maid in the Stone of Mending the Sky, Qiu Chuji was not surprised, but still sighed.

From the very beginning, he never expected Jia Baoyu to be able to "hold on".

After all, Jia Baoyu was just that kind of good-for-nothing.

Xue Pan was better able to withstand fate than him.

Therefore, by nature, there is only one path that suits Jia Baoyu!
However, since Qiu Chuji had taught him a skill, he still wanted to give him a more respectable way out.

Without the physical urges and impulses, if Jia Baoyu had only thought more about Qiu Chuji's warnings when faced with temptation, he wouldn't have gone astray.

Now that he has taken the plunge, even if he is a man with a woman's appearance and has become a celestial being, it is not something that can be achieved overnight. It is much gentler than the Sunflower Manual. But given Jia Baoyu's character, how will he be able to resist it in the future?
They will only continue to sink into depravity, clinging to wishful thinking, and then sinking deeper and deeper until their worldly roots are completely gone and they are too deeply entrenched to turn back.

As for being bisexual and creating a tug-of-war between the two sides?

Theoretically it seems possible, but in reality it's not. Qiu Chuji was afraid of disgusting people, so he had already set a limit in the technique. Before Jia Baoyu completely transformed from a man into a woman, whenever he had intimate contact with a man, his yang energy would immediately explode, turning him into a 'manly' who was eight feet tall, had a waist of eight feet, could run a horse on his arms, and had a beard that needed to be shaved with a steel knife. And it would be absolutely impossible for him to reverse this through sexual relations.

Perhaps this state of mind at that time would actually be more conducive to Jia Baoyu's self-discipline?

It can be said that none of the 'three paths' given by Qiu Chuji were actually dead ends.

However, for Jia Baoyu, what best suits his expectations is to maintain his self-respect and wait patiently for the flowers to bloom.

For many days afterward, Jia Baoyu was engrossed in playing with the maids in bed, neglecting his studies and naturally no longer practicing his martial arts. However, his internal energy grew stronger day by day.

Nourished by the true energy, Jia Baoyu's figure began to become more slender and tall, and his eyebrows and eyes also changed, becoming more gentle and affectionate. Needless to say, there were also changes in his skin and limbs. However, he was still young and had always been pampered, so those who knew him did not think much of it.

Grandmother Jia was so delighted that she held him in her arms for a long time, uttering sweet words of love and affection as he grew more and more handsome.

Everyone says that Grandmother Jia values ​​Baoyu highly. However, parents and elders who love their children plan far ahead for them. Lady Wang, on the other hand, is wicked and lacks magnanimity, so she spoils him a lot. Although she considers Baoyu's needs in every way, she neglects to educate him. But Grandmother Jia is insightful, and her indulgence has another purpose.

Starting with the title of nobility in the mansion, it may seem like Jia Lian is being forced to leave the mansion and become a beast of burden, but it can also be considered a kind of tempering. On the other hand, spoiling and indulging Jia Baoyu in various ways will ruin him, and he can only be a rich idler in the future. Even if Lady Wang plans behind the scenes, it will be difficult to take away the title of nobility of the Rongguo Mansion and avoid the brothers fighting each other.

Thinking about it more deeply, Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth, which was too eye-catching and would inevitably arouse suspicion. If he was spoiled, the imperial family's suspicion would be reduced, which could be considered as getting out of trouble.

However, no matter how much Grandmother Jia schemes, she probably wouldn't want her grandson to suddenly become her granddaughter.

Inside the space of the Heaven-Mending Stone, Qiu Chuji looked at Jia Baoyu, whose soul had even taken on a female form. Although he was the one who brought about this, he still couldn't help but frown.

"Baoyu, have you not been practicing your skills properly lately?" Qiu Chuji asked, reminding him.

Jia Baoyu, however, said smugly, "Why do I need to practice anymore? The kung fu taught by my teacher is excellent. I don't need to practice much; I can accomplish things on my own. Not only am I now healthy, but my appearance has also improved. Even Lin Daiyu is about the same as me." Qiu Chuji didn't understand. What was so great about a man comparing his appearance to a woman?

He could only say, "The technique I'm passing on to you is not an evil one. If you restrain your true nature and stop being greedy for matters of the bedchamber, although you may inevitably develop feminine traits, you can still stand tall as a man."

Jia Baoyu replied dismissively, "I understand! I understand!"

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was completely indifferent, Qiu Chuji knew that further persuasion would be useless.

Perhaps for someone like him, it would be better to be a woman than a man.

After a few more relatively peaceful days, Jia Baoyu grew even more handsome and beautiful. Except for his eyebrows and hair, all the hair on his body had fallen out, and his skin was as smooth as jade. He truly lived up to the name 'Baoyu'.

At this point, Jia Baoyu also felt a little apprehensive. When he saw Qiu Chuji again, he clamored for Qiu Chuji to come up with a solution for him.

However, Qiu Chuji was trapped inside the Heaven-Mending Stone and had no ability to interfere with the outside world. He could only say, "I will teach you a mantra for replenishing Yang and restoring life, as well as a prescription. Take the medicine according to the prescription at noon every day when your Yang energy is at its peak, and then circulate the mantra. This should alleviate the symptoms slightly."

"Those acts of pleasure must never be done again!"

Jia Baoyu readily agreed, but after leaving the space of the Heaven-Mending Stone, although he took the medicine as prescribed, he couldn't resist the temptation. With a few casual flirtations from the maids, he climbed into bed and indulged in debauchery once again.

Now, Jia Baoyu is exceptionally handsome, with skin as white as jade, which is a pleasure for the maids who are entangled with him.

A few days later, Jia Baoyu completely gave up on himself and never came back to look for Qiu Chuji in the Stone of Mending the Sky.

Qiu Chuji simply closed his eyes to cultivate, hoping to absorb all the blessings within the Heaven-Mending Stone as quickly as possible, break free from its seal, and escape this wretched existence.

On this day, Qin Keqing sought out Wang Xifeng and You Shi to play mahjong, intending to introduce her younger brother Qin Zhong to the Jia family school.

While Wang Xifeng and You Shi were saying nice things, they were actually introducing Qin Zhong to Jia Baoyu, hoping that Jia Baoyu would ask him to speak up.

When Jia Baoyu saw Qin Zhong, he found the young master to be handsome with delicate features, fair skin and red lips, a good figure, and elegant manners. He was immediately attracted to him. However, he had long since set his sights on something higher, so when he saw Qin Zhong, he did not feel ashamed or self-pitying as before. Instead, he developed a different kind of liking for Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong, on the other hand, became shy and blushed as soon as he saw Jia Baoyu.

At this moment, Jia Baoyu was no longer worthy of the nickname "Big-faced Baoyu." His eyebrows slanted upwards, exuding a gentle charm with a touch of heroic spirit. His phoenix eyes seemed to hold a hint of intoxication, shimmering like melting snow in a spring stream. He was like a beauty who had stepped out of a painting, blurring gender lines and unifying aesthetics.

Simply standing there is already a magnificent and beautiful picture, making it hard to look away.

Qin Zhong originally thought himself to be exceptionally handsome, but now, seeing Jia Baoyu, he felt extremely vulgar and not at all worthy of being called good-looking.

While feeling ashamed of herself, she also felt an increasing desire to get closer to Jia Baoyu.

Wang Xifeng, You Shi, and Qin Shi were all staring at Jia Baoyu's face.

Wang Xifeng was alright; she had met Jia Baoyu many times and had become somewhat immune to his face. However, You Shi and Qin Shi had not seen Jia Baoyu for some time, and when they saw him again, they were both surprised by his changes and amazed by his good looks.

She even felt a little jealous.

A man who is so handsome is naturally both pleasing and infuriating.

Qin even thought that it would be best if Bao-ge never went to Ningguo Mansion again, otherwise, given her father-in-law's lustful nature, who knows what shameful things he might do.

As Jia Baoyu watched the increasingly strange looks from the crowd, he subconsciously shifted his feet... to keep a greater distance from Qin Zhong, as he could feel the burning intensity in Qin Zhong's eyes.

He doesn't feel too burdened by becoming like a girl. Some parts are a little small... but it's okay. Small and cute too. As long as it works, that's fine.

However, he simply couldn't accept the idea of ​​becoming a burly, smelly, rough man.

The changes in his body had actually made him fully believe in Qiu Chuji's previous instructions.

Now that Jia Baoyu had become wary of Qin Zhong, the matter of speaking up for Qin Zhong and sending him to the Jia family school was naturally put on hold for the time being.

Jia Baoyu himself was unwilling to go to the clan school, and had not shown his face there for quite some time.

After playing with his sisters as usual, Jia Baoyu returned to the courtyard. Today, Qingwen happened to be serving him. Seeing Jia Baoyu leaning against the window, she thought he was exceptionally handsome and said with a smile, "Second Master is so handsome. If he wore women's clothes, he would probably bewitch countless men."

These words, spoken unintentionally, could only have been uttered by Qingwen, who was quick-witted but thoughtless, yet they resonated with Jia Baoyu.

The physical changes eventually affected his mental state.

He began to find women's clothes exceptionally beautiful and wondered how he would look wearing them himself.

Once a thought arises, it's hard to control.

He then stepped forward, took Qingwen's arm, and said with a smile, "Since you're curious, bring me your clothes to change into."

Even though Qingwen was bold, she knew that if she did that, she would probably be beaten to death, so she kept shaking her head and refused.

Jia Baoyu pleaded repeatedly without success, and then lost his temper, saying, "Fine! It's because I've been too good to you all in the past that all the ladies in this garden look down on me. I don't need to beg you anymore. Tomorrow I'll go out of the mansion myself and buy the things myself. I won't trouble you, a young lady from an official family."

Such a ruthless and cruel mockery brought tears to Qingwen's eyes.

That's just the kind of person he is. He seems devoted and affectionate on the surface, but if anyone goes against his wishes and he can control the situation, he will immediately turn on them without showing any mercy.

It's perfectly normal for Xiren to receive a kick to the chest and make sarcastic remarks about Qingwen.

Provoked by Jia Baoyu's words, Qingwen disregarded everything and went to fetch the new clothes she had just made before the New Year. She then brought them to Jia Baoyu and helped him change into them.

When Jia Baoyu, dressed in women's clothing, stood in front of the mirror and looked closely, he was completely dumbfounded.

He was naturally fond of beautiful women, and compared to lecherous men like Jia Zhen and Jia Lian, he was merely a pretense of self-proclaimed elegance.

But in the mirror, he saw a beauty he had never imagined.

This beauty possesses both masculine vigor and feminine grace; the androgynous beauty that transcends gender creates an unimaginable impact.

Lu Xun once said: The greatest and most enduring art is men dressing up as women.

At this moment, these words have been powerfully proven!
