Chapter 53 : Luo Yusi Was a Golden-Haired Beauty
Chapter 53: Luo Yusi Was a Golden-Haired Beauty
About half a shichen later, Long Tao set down his brush, blew gently over the still-wet ink on the paper, and handed over the freshly completed “Spider Siblings Secret Realm Exploration Team Application.”
The two siblings took it, leaning together under the Oil Lamp to read it carefully.
As they read, their mouths slowly fell open in unison, their eyes filled with shock—and a trace of fear.
“Th-this… Fellow Daoist Long,” Luo Yunluo’s voice trembled slightly as he pointed to a spot on the paper.
“This résumé… isn’t it a bit… exaggerated? We did complete these tasks, but… but the process was definitely not as perilous and dramatic as this, nor did we turn the tide so heroically! And these several instances of acting as Guardians… they were clearly very ordinary processes. How did you write… ‘Guardian success rate at full marks, unanimously praised by the involved disciples afterward, with all cultivation levels greatly improved’? Th-this… we don’t even know how they turned out afterward!”
“Ah, don’t worry about whether those details are true or not!” Long Tao waved a hand grandly, wearing an expression of seasoned expertise.
“The key point is that the main body of the tasks can be verified in the records! As for the details, of course you have to highlight the bright spots and exaggerate a little to catch the eye! Relax, relax—those elders in charge of review are busy every day. They won’t nitpick that carefully. As long as the core is real, it’s basically fine!”
The siblings exchanged glances.
Holding that résumé filled with sky-high embellishments, they felt as if it were scorching hot in their hands.
But with matters already at this point, they could only grit their teeth and trust this neighbor who looked like he truly knew the ropes.
“However…” Long Tao stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over the siblings’ highly striking half-spider forms, and he frowned.
“There’s still one most critical factor that might become an obstacle for you—your outward appearance. I have to say, sect selections sometimes can’t avoid being worldly and… judging by appearances. Your current Transformation Technique, in terms of aesthetics… is a major disadvantage.”
“That… is indeed the case.” Luo Yunluo sighed helplessly, several legs scraping restlessly against the ground.
“My sister and I truly have little talent in this regard… Does Fellow Daoist Long have any way to improve it?”
“Hmm…” Long Tao pondered for a moment.
His gaze suddenly landed on Luo Yusi, who had been quietly standing to the side, and an idea emerged.
“Fellow Daoist Yusi, could I… ask you to revert to your complete spider original form for me to take a look?”
Although Luo Yusi did not quite understand why, there were no outsiders present.
She nodded and silently recited a spell formula.
Very quickly, her half-human, half-spider body began to glow faintly, its form gradually contracting and changing, until it completely reverted into a full spider original form.
However, what left Long Tao utterly dumbfounded was that even the color changed during this transformation!
What finally appeared before him was no longer the previous dark brown half-spider form, but a magnificent golden giant spider, its entire body covered in delicate, beautiful patterns and shimmering with a soft, pale golden luster.
The sheen of her carapace flowed with a warm radiance under the Oil Lamp, utterly different from the dark, humanoid-mimicking form she had deliberately maintained before!
“Th-this… this…” Long Tao pointed at the bewitching golden giant spider before him, so shocked that he could barely speak.
“Y-you… your original form is golden?! Then why, when transforming into a half-human spider, did you insist on turning yourself into something so pitch-black?”
Having returned to her original form, Luo Yusi somehow produced the same voice as before, now tinged with a bit of grievance.
“Because… because you human races… don’t you all have black hair? I… when transforming, I wanted to look as similar as possible… so I just…”
“Ah! Let alone the fact that among us humans there are also those Rakshasa races with blond hair and blue eyes…” Long Tao slapped his thigh, lamenting deeply.
“Didn’t you just completely abandon your greatest feature and advantage?!”
A powerful surge of curiosity and excitement suddenly welled up in his heart.
He desperately wanted to see what Luo Yusi would look like if she transformed according to her most natural, most authentic coloration.
“Come! Fellow Daoist Yusi, do as I say next!” Long Tao’s voice carried a trace of excitement.
“When you transform again in a moment, don’t deliberately imitate black hair or black carapace anymore! Completely relax, follow what feels most natural and comfortable to you, and keep this beautiful pale-golden color of your original form while transforming! Try it—let’s see what you end up like!”
“Like this…? Then… alright.” Luo Yusi blinked her pair of enormous primary eyes, glanced at her equally curious brother beside her, and after seeing him nod in agreement, she took a deep breath.
A gentle golden light once again suffused her entire body.
Holding his breath and focusing his mind, Long Tao watched the beautiful giant spider before him.
Its muscles, carapace, and fine hairs began to reshape, extend, and transform in an extremely smooth, almost unbelievable manner…
As the light gradually faded, what appeared before him once more was still a half-human, half-spider form.
But this time, perhaps because she had followed her true nature, her figure appeared a bit more slender and well-proportioned than before, and even seemed slightly larger overall.
The most striking change was in the lower half of her body.
The spider abdomen and legs were no longer the deliberately heavy dark colors from before, but perfectly inherited the warm, magnificent pale-golden hue of her original form.
Her body flowed with a honey-colored glow—countless times more pleasing and beautiful than the stiff black she had forcibly adopted earlier.
And then there was the most crucial part—the upper body…
Long Tao’s gaze slowly moved upward.
When he finally saw it clearly, it was as if an invisible heavenly thunder struck him squarely.
He froze completely in place, his mouth unconsciously falling open, his mind buzzing as it instantly went blank.
Not even mentioning that peerlessly beautiful face blending exotic charm with a hint of shyness and confusion—just those six still-alluring crimson eyes alone made it impossible for him to look away.
And then there was that head of long hair, dazzling and brilliant like a golden waterfall…
His gaze drifted further down… that figure… how should it be put…
In his previous life, Long Tao had played a game called Azur Lane, famous for its various women with exaggerated figures.
And at this very moment, Luo Yusi’s upper-body curves—even if placed within that game—would absolutely be considered above average, breathtakingly striking, with a truly generous bosom.
This was a creation where wildness and softness, power and temptation, were perfectly fused!
Long Tao simply stood there, staring blankly upward at this spider beauty under the lamplight, as if forged from gold and radiating astonishing allure.
His mind buzzed nonstop, leaving only a single thought madly scrolling through his head:
A beautiful big carriage… run me over…
