Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 11 New Identity

"Household registration? That's easy. Since you don't want to have any connection with your family anymore, tell me your requirements!" Xie Ziming asked after thinking for a moment.

Gu Shihan thought for a moment and said, "Well, my name is Gu Shihan, and I'm nine years old this year. You can figure out the rest, preferably someone who doesn't interact with other people. I'm too lazy to deal with messy people and things. It would be best if I were an orphan."

“Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to take care of it right away. You should stay with us for the next few days. I have a property in a nearby county where I can stay. Once the household registration is done, I won’t need to come looking for you,” Xie Ziming nodded.

Gu Shihan thought it made sense, so she followed Xie Ziming and his group into Lixian County and stayed at Xie Ziming's house, which was one of Xie Ziming's properties. People with money and power are indeed different.

Such houses are basically empty all year round. It's good if the owner comes to stay for a few days. Most of the time, only the people who clean and guard them live there.

Xie Ziming was very efficient; he produced a household registration notice in just three days.

There is indeed a family surnamed Gu. Gu Zheng was a scholar who lost his wife early in life. He had a son and a daughter, but his daughter died of illness a year ago.

Perhaps because he was too deeply attached to his deceased wife, this daughter was his lifeblood, and he loved her even more than his son.

With his daughter dead, Gu Zheng lost his emotional support and became addicted to gambling. He owed money to the gambling den, and even mortgaging everything in his house wasn't enough, leading to his death.

The gambling den set its sights on Gu Li, who was not yet ten years old. Gu Li was a sensible child at such a young age. He knew that once he fell into their hands, his life would be miserable.

Without hesitation, he turned and ran away, but he was too young and died of illness in the dilapidated temple less than a month after escaping.

Since Gu Zheng was a scholar, and scholars held a relatively good status in Dong'an Kingdom, his family's household registration and travel permits were more useful than those of ordinary people.

Gu Shihan borrowed Gu Li's identity, only changing Gu Li's name to Gu Shihan. Now she is the only descendant of Gu Zheng's family.

The Gu family were not locals; they came here seeking refuge. Now that both husband and wife are dead, and their daughter Gu Hua has also passed away, Gu Shihan, who has borrowed Gu Li's identity, is now completely alone.
"Thanks! This household registration is very good, there are no entanglements with relatives or trivial matters, I am very satisfied!" Gu Shihan said goodbye to Xie Ziming and left the county town.

“Young Master, Young Master Gu’s martial arts are quite strong. Why don’t we keep him here? He would be a great help!” Yingyi asked.

Xie Ziming watched Gu Shihan walk away with an air of nonchalance, a smile playing on his lips as he said, "No rush. He's still young, not even ten years old yet. It's definitely time for him to go to school. Besides, there are too many dangers around me. I don't want him to be in danger at such a young age."

He's different from you. If anyone finds out he exists, they'll definitely try to get back at him, and that would be so unfair to him.

Ying Qi walked over, bowed, and said, "Your Highness's consideration is wise. As long as Young Master Gu shows her face by Your Highness's side, there are plenty of people who want to deal with her. Although she is skilled in martial arts and not afraid, she is still troublesome. Your Highness! I just received news from the capital that the Prince seems to be seriously ill. Should we go back?"

Xie Ziming's expression changed several times, as if he was suppressing something. His eyes sharpened, and he said coldly, "Father is seriously ill?! I'm afraid it's another deception. But we really can't not go back. Yingyi, you go back and make arrangements first. Yingqi and I will go in disguise. We can't afford any more mistakes on the way."

Gu Shihan left the county town and settled in Lizi Town, which was not far from the county town. She successfully found a school and began her studies.

The texts she learns here include the "Three Character Classic" and the "Thousand Character Classic," which Shi Han can recite fluently. However, the characters in this world are neither the simplified nor traditional characters used in modern times, so she has no choice but to learn to write them all over again.

A year has passed, and Gu Shihan is now ten years old. She has made progress in her studies and has become a well-known prodigy in the school. However, she did not continue her studies, since she did not want to take the imperial examination.

Gu Shihan's kung fu improved more and more. She was naturally gifted in martial arts, and she also had a foundation from her previous life. She changed her kung fu technique to one from the space, which Xingbai helped her find. It was the most suitable kung fu technique for Gu Shihan.

Although she learned a mortal cultivation technique, how could the products from her space be of poor quality? That technique was considered top-tier in this world.

He did not slack off in his cultivation of the Chaos Technique; it can be said that he spent most of his time cultivating the Chaos Heart Method and footwork.

As for swordsmanship, that's not enough yet; one must cultivate it to the Foundation Establishment stage before one can begin.

Gu Shihan lived a peaceful life and gained some understanding of Dong'an Kingdom and the surrounding countries. This place really was the mortal world.

The concept of cultivating immortality is only recorded in ancient books, and it seems that most people are completely unaware of its existence.

However, this is only the understanding of ordinary people. Some members of the royal family still know about it and are secretly searching for traces of cultivation.

As Gu Shihan's cultivation level increased, she also underwent significant changes. Originally, her appearance resembled that of her mother, Liu Yuwan, and her features were already exceptionally beautiful.

Now that she has cultivated and cleansed her marrow, she is becoming more and more beautiful. At ten years old, she is 1.65 meters tall. Perhaps because she mostly eats food from the space, her figure is developing very well. Several times, she has been seen by playboys who want to take her home and keep her as a pet.

Although it's all just wishful thinking on the part of those people, it's still a troublesome matter no matter how it ends.

Xingbai sensed its master's frustration and said with a grin, "Hanhan, here you go, the Thousand Illusion Ring. It can change one's appearance by dripping blood to bind it to its master. No one in this world can see through it, except in the cultivation world. Unless you have the Eye of Truth, special magic treasures, or special abilities, no one can see through it."

"That's great? Thousand Illusions, does that mean you can change your appearance at will, including your gender?" Gu Shihan asked, intrigued.

"Hanhan, you're so clever! Let's bind it with blood. This Thousand Illusions Bracelet, like the Moon Bracelet, can become invisible, so there's no need to worry about anyone seeing it and coveting it. However, the appearance change cannot be used frequently, as there is a time limit for changing appearance; you can only change your appearance once every twelve hours."

"Very good! Xingbai, thank you!" Gu Shihan recognized Qianhuan as her master and took her with her without hesitation. She adjusted her appearance to be more ordinary, so that she still looked like herself, just no longer dazzling.

Most importantly, it transforms a woman's body into a man's appearance, so that as long as she doesn't take off all her clothes, no one can tell if she is male or female.

Definitely androgynous, she can be either male or female, but Gu Shihan still presents herself as a man to avoid trouble and make things easier.
