Chapter 1 – Becoming a Loli

(Author’s note: The author originally intended to provide background introduction in the first twenty chapters. Su Ming’s actual gender transformation begins in chapter 34. As a new author, this is still experimental. I apologize for disappointing everyone’s expectations.) (/ω＼)

“Ah!” A scream pierced the sky as a burly man grabbed Su Ming in a flash.

“You little brat, peeping at the widow bathing again! Someone! That brat is here again!”

Su Ming frantically broke free from the man’s “evil grip” and bolted, not forgetting to grab Ice Crystal Turtle along the way.

Ice Crystal Turtle mocked: “Bro, you’re way too pathetic. You got caught after just two or three minutes.”

Su Ming shouted while running: “Damn it, this is all because you bumped into the window and made a sound just now! This failure is definitely on you!”

Ice Crystal Turtle hastily directed: “There are tons of people to the right front! Run!”

Su Ming was puzzled—why were so many people chasing him this time? He remembered the previous times didn’t have nearly this many…

Finally, relying on her knowledge of the village, Su Ming successfully evaded the pursuit and, under the cover of night, ran into the woods.

Su Ming gasped for air: “Geez… scared me to death. This time it felt like the whole village was chasing me.”

Ice Crystal Turtle was also quite shaken: “Didn’t I tell you not to keep peeping at the same house? Wouldn’t it be better to switch it up a bit?”

Su Ming said righteously: “I’m a gentleman of honor! How could I possibly do such a thing?”

Ice Crystal Turtle asked in confusion: “A gentleman of honor peeps at people bathing?”

Su Ming: “Sigh, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained. And I’ve only peeped ten times anyway.”

Ice Crystal Turtle: “Got caught nine times out of ten. Impressive!”

Su Ming grabbed his head and shook it violently back and forth.

“Stop shaking! I’m gonna die…”

Su Ming threw him to the ground, and Ice Crystal Turtle lay there vomiting profusely.

This was an era where ghost tamers and beast tamers coexisted. Ice Crystal Turtle was Su Ming’s contracted beast, but when the contract was signed, Ice Crystal Turtle’s condition was to slack off—never fight unless absolutely necessary…

Su Ming was helpless too. He was born unable to cultivate, so he could only rely on Ice Crystal Turtle’s energy to protect himself. But this perverted turtle was truly perverted…

Su Ming summoned the system: “System, the mission is complete. Give me the reward.”

This system was also truly stingy. Even though he was born unable to cultivate, it had been giving him spirit pills to cultivate with every day for twelve years. If it weren’t for the Novice Gift Pack and Coming-of-Age Gift being distributed together, who the hell would bother cultivating?

System: “Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission of peeping at girls bathing ten times. May I ask whether Host would like the Novice Gift Pack or the Coming-of-Age Gift first?”

(Setting: Under normal circumstances, only Su Ming can communicate with the system.)

Su Ming was a bit puzzled: “Is there a difference? Can’t you send them together?”

System: “I can, but I’m afraid Host won’t be able to handle it.”

Su Ming was a bit unconvinced: “Then let’s do the Novice Gift Pack first. I want to see what’s so scary.”

System: “Ding, congratulations, Host, on obtaining Blood Soul Ghost. The contract has been completed.”

Su Ming was stunned, feeling the changes in her body. Sure enough, there was a female ghost inside her, and right now she was still dazed and confused.

Su Ming blushed a little: “This… doesn’t seem quite right…”

System: “Host, please note your health. Communication between human and ghost is quite taxing on the body.”

Su Ming summoned Blood Soul Ghost out. Not bad, not bad—quite big… ah no, quite good-looking. Her combat power must be very strong.

Opening the data panel, he saw that he was Unranked, Ice Crystal Turtle was at the Second Realm, and Blood Soul Ghost was at the Third Realm.

In this world, strength increased sequentially from the First Realm onward, but since Su Ming couldn’t cultivate, she was the weakest—Unranked.

Blood Soul Ghost called out respectfully, “Master.”

Hearing that soft, alluring voice, Su Ming’s heart blossomed with joy, and she felt her blood qi surging. Surely that had nothing to do with Blood Soul Ghost’s beautiful figure (๑‾ ꇴ ‾๑)

Ice Crystal Turtle had still been dazed, but the moment he saw Blood Soul Ghost, he snapped to attention.

“So big… ahh… she’s so beautiful, and her aura is so strong!”

Ice Crystal Turtle was startled—this newcomer was stronger than him. Could he still slack off from now on?

Su Ming felt a bit embarrassed. “From now on, you two get along well, get along well.”

Then he urged the system, “Hurry, hurry, there’s still the Coming-of-Age Gift. I sense a crisis.”

The system said, “According to the readings, there’s no enemy activity nearby. Where is this crisis coming from?”

Su Ming said, “Both of my partners are stronger than me. That’s unacceptable! What if they betray me one day?”

The system said, “Blood Soul Ghost’s loyalty is at one hundred percent. And don’t forget, Host, if they ever betray you, they will suffer irreversible damage themselves.”

Su Ming suddenly remembered that, but she was still a bit worried and hurriedly urged the system to redeem the gift quickly.

Then Su Ming’s body radiated light, and under the curious gazes of Blood Soul Ghost and Ice Crystal Turtle, Su Ming transformed into an adorable little loli…

Ice Crystal Turtle and Blood Soul Ghost: …

Su Ming: ?

The system said, “Redemption complete. Host has obtained a Grandmaster Realm loli body, with strength surpassing the Ninth Realm. Only when spiritual power is fully depleted can you choose to revert to your original body.”

Su Ming looked down at the ground. From this angle, she estimated she was about 1.3 to 1.4 meters tall…

The cold wind howled, and Ice Crystal Turtle’s laughter completely drowned out the rustling of the surrounding leaves.

“Hahaha, little bro—hahaha—no wait, big sis—hahaha…”

Ice Crystal Turtle laughed so hard he was nearly cramping, never expecting his master to go from a 1.8-meter man to a 1.4-meter little loli…

Blood Soul Ghost couldn’t hold it in either, covering her mouth to stifle her giggles…

Su Ming clenched her fists tightly, grinding her teeth. She couldn’t believe she’d turned into a girl. Damn system, what have you done…

The system said, “Congratulations, Host. From today onward, you are a girl. I know you’re anxious, but don’t be. Take a look at the attribute panel.”

Su Ming opened the attribute panel and saw the following:

Name: Su Ming (Original)

Gender: Male (Suspected)

Occupation: Beast Tamer

Spirit Pets: Ice Crystal Turtle, Blood Soul Ghost

Realm: Unranked

Abilities: None

“Wait, why does it say ‘suspected’ for gender?”

“Don’t worry about those trivial things. Hurry up and flip to the next page.”

The next page read as follows:

Name: Su Ming (Loli Version)

Gender: Female

Occupation: Ghost Tamer

Spirit Pets: Ice Crystal Turtle, Blood Soul Ghost

Realm: Grandmaster Realm

Ability 1: Manipulate Ghostly Qi (Maxed out; can freely control ghostly qi within the body and outside, and condense it into physical forms)

Ability 2: Summon Ghost Creatures (Maxed out; can summon any ghost creature, with consumption determined by the creature’s realm and abilities, but summoned ghost creatures have no consciousness and can only be used for combat)

Ability 3: Acting Cute (Minimal consumption, can be used freely, stacks; be careful not to get kidnapped when using it)

Su Ming wasn’t too upset at first, but this gender thing was definitely the system messing with her. And what was this cute act all about…

Su Ming grabbed the Ice Crystal Turtle by the tail, only to realize that after turning into a loli, her hands were so small that an Ice Crystal Turtle was as big as two of her palms.

The Ice Crystal Turtle was still laughing, though because he’d been laughing for a while now, he was a bit out of breath.

Su Ming: “Old Turtle, I’ve treated you pretty well, haven’t I?”

The Ice Crystal Turtle tried to hold back his laughter: “Sis, I think…”

Before he could finish, Su Ming gave him another round of circular motion, and the Ice Crystal Turtle was spinning so much he kept begging for mercy:

“I… won’t… say… anymore… alright… ugh—”

Su Ming flung him several meters away. The power of the Grandmaster Realm was truly strong—even a casual toss could crush Old Turtle. ^ω^

Su Ming looked at the Blood Soul Ghost: “You’ll keep this a secret too, right? My innocence depends on you…”

The Blood Soul Ghost quickly regained her composure: “Rest assured, Master, keeping secrets is something I can do. But Master, what’s with this strange hobby of wearing such pink clothes?”

Su Ming looked down and saw—oh my—pink shoes, white stockings, a pink short skirt…

Su Ming felt a bit embarrassed: “No, no, I need to change into something else later. This is way too pink and cute…”
