I'll even show you crossdressing men.

"What's wrong with us?" Only Ye Xuexin and Qingyun, the two girls, were extremely shy. They pulled up the blankets to cover their bodies, only revealing their collarbones.

They were both confused about why this was happening. They were clearly in that place a second ago, so why were they here now?

"Did we experience something we don't know about?" They really couldn't think of any other explanation.

Her eyes also dared not look at Ji Xiuyu, seemingly extremely shy.

Of course, it's also possible that he's too shy to be around other girls, but if he were alone, he could have all of them.

"I'm afraid so. We've encountered a powerful being who is very likely at the level of a god. But why would a god remain?" Zi Qing pondered for a moment. She could sense that the creature was definitely not just a demigod, which was why she concluded that it was a god.

"Weren't all the gods extinct? Or rather, didn't they abandon us and leave long ago? Why would there still be gods..." Ye Xuexin was somewhat incredulous. Didn't such beings disappear long ago?

"I don't know either. I've spent time with demigods before and I know how powerful they are. But even if they are powerful, they don't have this kind of... ability to make things happen with a single thought."

"From this point of view alone, even if it is not a god, it is definitely a powerful being that surpasses a demigod. It is the kind of being that is closest to a god and is not an opponent that we can fight against."

This is a discouraging statement, but it is the truth, an undeniable truth.

"Let's put that aside for now. We need to figure out where we are now and why we're like this..." Qingyun interrupted them, pointing to herself and then to her surroundings. This place was completely unfamiliar to her.

"You'll have to ask the people outside... Yao Lian, come in." Zi Qing gestured for the others to cover their bodies so they wouldn't be exposed before calling out to the door.

At her call, Yao Lian opened the door and respectfully entered.

Upon seeing her current appearance, the girls couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" in surprise, seemingly extremely astonished...

P.S.: If you find it boring, just leave it. I'll slowly write the ending. (lifts her skirt)

Chapter 215: Where is this place?

"How did you turn into human form?" Zi Qing looked at her in surprise. She wasn't surprised that some magical beasts could transform into human form when they reached the epic level, but it seemed that only monsters and insects could do so when they reached the demigod level.

Even some, no matter how much they achieve, are unable to take on a physical form.

The Demon Lotus appears to be an anomaly among them, but the effort required to overcome the limitations of its race is absolutely unimaginable.

"Transformation?" Yao Lian, who had been standing there respectfully, looked at her left hand upon hearing her words, and stretched it out. Instantly, her fair and jade-like hand transformed into an insect-like segmented limb capable of taking another's life in an instant, just like before.

"I couldn't do it before, but somehow, after I woke up here, I was able to. It's like... some kind of power has merged into my body." Yao Lian didn't dare to hide anything and shared her feelings.

With her delicate brows furrowed, Zi Qing roughly guessed the reason. Perhaps that guy had done something she didn't even know about.

This is a mystery, and for now, there's no way to verify it with that person. However, one thing is certain: Yao Lian is still on their side, and her soul shows no unusual fluctuations.

In other aspects, the girl might not be able to do anything, but in the realm of the soul, not only that, but even a true god could not hide her actions.

Therefore, she was extremely confident, and although she cared about the changes in the demon lotus, she didn't take it too seriously.

"Where are we?" Putting aside her questioning, Ziqing wanted to figure out where they had come to.

"This is a corner of Orianna City, not far from the Celestial Academy. We arrived here as soon as we appeared, and until you wake up, we have no way to go in; we can only guard outside."

Her words made Ziqing's heart sink slightly, "Really no one came? Who took off our clothes?"

Her body could only be seen by Ji Xiuyu or other girls who liked him and were with him; it would never be seen by other men. She was worried about this, so she wanted to find out.

"...It seems to be Miss Alicia..." Yao Lian was startled by Zi Qing's attitude, and then said cautiously.

"Miss Alicia? She went out?" Yao Lian's words put her mind at ease slightly, but she was still a little confused.

"Yes, she came out shortly before you woke up, and her expression was a bit strange. But she told us that she was the one who took off your clothes. As for why she did that, she didn't tell me, and I don't know either."

She could only tell everything she knew about this matter to avoid any problems that might arise and cause her trouble, which would be terrible.

"I see, I understand." Alicia has her reasons for doing things, but... it's really strange that she brought Miss Qingyun along too.

"You can go out now." Zi Qing waved her away, watched the door close, lowered her hand from her chest, turned her head to look at the other girls, and said softly, "It seems we've experienced some strange things, at least we weren't injured."

Zi Qing didn't want to bring up the awkward topic of clothes, especially since the young master hadn't gotten up yet, and it wasn't convenient to talk about anything.

"Do you need us to keep this a secret?" Zi Qing asked, glancing at Ye Xuexin and Qing Yun, whose expressions seemed unusual.

"Let's not let him know for now. I'll come back to his side later, after I've finished what I need to do." Ye Xuexin nodded. She naturally didn't care whether Ji Xiuyu would find out, but before she finished what she needed to do, she didn't want Ji Xiuyu to get involved. It was a way of protecting him.

Even though his current strength far exceeds his own imagination, that's just how it is...

"And you?" Ye Xuexin's decision was related to her personality and what she wanted to do. So what about Qingyun?

“I want him to tell me himself that he likes me before I go back to him, even though I know it will be difficult. But if you can do it, so can I.” Qingyun looked at Ji Xiuyu, then at Ziqing, her tone quite provocative.

"If you want, I think it's possible." This girl had twice stolen her young master's kisses while disguised as a boy, which is something no ordinary girl could do.

It could be said that her personality was even more unique than Ye Xuexin's, despite her beautiful and gentle appearance.

"Then you should go back first, and don't let the young master see this." Since you've made up your mind, it's best to leave quickly, lest the young master wake up and see this scene and realize something.

"Mmm." After responding with that, Ye Xuexin leaned down and gently kissed Ji Xiuyu's cheek.

This was the mark she left for Ji Xiuyu. After resolving some matters in the period that followed, she would go to the root of the center. She would not see him again until she broke through to the legendary or even epic level.

Perhaps this farewell is forever, but she has to do it.

I said I would protect him, so how can I be under his protection?

She lifted herself up, naked, and slipped through the gap between the girls. She sat on the edge of the bed, found her underwear and skirt among the piles of clothes on the bedside table, and changed in front of the other girls without any hesitation. Then she opened the door and went out.

Qingyun, who was gently stroking Ji Xiuyu's cheek, seemed to be awakened by the sound of the door opening. Putting aside her thoughts, she changed her clothes just like Ye Xuexin.

"A letter?" A letter was tucked into her clothes; the handwriting was that of her mother. What did she want to say?

After getting dressed and picking up the letter, Qingyun turned back to the girls as she reached the door, as if she had suddenly remembered something, and said, "I will pursue him. Is that alright?"

"Welcome." The more young mistresses the better; this is exactly the outcome that they and Chu Ying wanted to see.

Now that Qingyun is already involved, it's her freedom to do whatever she wants.

"Hmm." Taking a deep breath, Qingyun opened the door and went out.

After a moment of confusion, she realized that it was a house her mother had bought somewhere before, but it was rarely used, so she didn't remember it well.

However, since my mother left a letter for me, it must mean something, right?

As she was thinking, she tore open the wax covering the letter, took it out, and began to read it carefully.

The more she read, the deeper her brows furrowed.

Shortly after she left, Ji Xiuyu slowly awoke with a slight tremor.

Chapter 216: The Return of Male Instinct

"Are you back?" Ji Xiuyu, who had just woken up, hadn't even had time to figure out why she was lying naked with three maids when Ziqing's ramblings left her completely confused.

After Bai Yu, Tina, and Zi Qing finished dressing in front of him, he finally understood some things and had some doubts.

"How did we get back?" Zi Qing only told him about what happened here, but not about the freakishly powerful expert he had encountered, so he was very curious about how he got back.

"Young Master, you were injured. To let you rest properly, I used some magic to make you sleep for several days." Zi Qing's answer was watertight. After leaving, she could tell others and let the matter drop.

She didn't want Ji Xiuyu to know anything bad, as that would be harmful to him.

Rather than doing that, it's better to know nothing and wait for them to figure out a solution.

"I see... Hmm." Ziqing and the others wouldn't harm me. Since she said so, it must be true.

He didn't delve into the matter, but after putting aside his doubts, his face turned red with embarrassment.

Why didn't Ziqing and the others turn their backs when they were changing clothes? Even though I was daydreaming, my eyes were always fixed on them. So, didn't I see everything?

When he lived with them before, this kind of thing happened almost every day, so he was used to it.

However, the return to the distinction between men and women and the hazy feelings he once had have now made him feel shy.

Zi Qing noticed his change and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that the young master didn't pursue the real reason, but even better was that he finally understood the difference between men and women and felt ashamed about it.

This is the best thing, as it proves that he has begun to take other girls seriously and will develop different feelings for them.

Of the nine maids, only she and Princess Chisara understood that, for some reason, Princess Xiuyu had subconsciously always felt that she was a girl and that she liked boys.

That's why she and Princess Chisara intentionally or unintentionally prevented other girls from "eating" the young master and concealed his undesirable orientation.

Firstly, to prevent them from frightening Ji Xiuyu and causing him to develop a complete aversion to girls. Secondly, to ensure they wouldn't have any regrets later, they needed to at least make the young master like them.

She didn't know how many things Ji Xiuyu had gone through during this time that they were unaware of, but it was a good thing that he was able to change his sexual orientation back.

In the future, young master, you will realize that only we are the ones who will always be with you and will never change.

"Tina, you stay here to take care of the young master. Xiaoyu and I will go out to handle some matters." The thoughts flashed through Ziqing's mind quickly, and she immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Bai Yu left with her somewhat reluctantly, leaving Tina to take care of Ji Xiuyu.

Compared to Bai Yu, who always wanted to lay a hand on the young master and make him eat her, the taciturn and scheming Tina was undoubtedly more suitable to take care of him after she left.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Ji Xiuyu said softly to Ziqing as she left, and then fell silent.

Tina tilted her head slightly to look at the girl, somewhat puzzled: "Young Master, what's wrong?"

She doesn't talk much in front of outsiders, but once she's alone with Ji Xiuyu, her maid-like manners are revealed, and she shows him meticulous care.

"Oh, it's nothing." Why do I always feel like things have changed since I came back to this city?

She couldn't even remember how she left. Was she kidnapped? Or...?

Deep down, he always wanted to leave, to escape, and not to stay here any longer.

"Don't overthink it. Now that you're back, we'll take care of the young master and make sure he goes to school." Tina walked over, picked up his clothes from the bedside table, and stood in front of the bed, looking at Ji Xiuyu with eyes full of tenderness reserved only for him.

"Hmm." Ji Xiuyu lifted the blanket, wanting to cover herself up, but then lowered her hand.

She's always taken such good care of herself, so why worry about so much?

"Young Master, shall we accompany you from now on?" Tina was very tall and wearing high heels. She had to bend down to help Ji Xiuyu get dressed.

While she was dressing him, she couldn't help but ask him a question.

Not wanting so many things to happen because of their absence, Tina wanted to take good care of the young master and prevent him from being bullied by anyone.

"Okay, I will fulfill my mother's last wish. It's no big deal for you to be by my side." Looking back on myself now, I was really overestimating myself, always thinking that I could accomplish a lot without the help of the maids.

But the truth is, without them, he is nothing and cannot do many things.

Even though I've become stronger now and learned a lot in another world, there are still many things that can't be done so easily.

"Yes, life isn't good without the young master." Her expression remained unchanged, but this tone was one that Ji Xiuyu had never heard before.
