Chapter 2366: The Poisonous Swamp (3)
Gu Xijiu witnessed a very strange scene unfold before her. Wisps of green smoke rose into the air, and soon, the tree transformed into Zhu Duqing! His hair was in a complete mess, with some parts of it even missing. He was almost bald in certain areas. His robes were unkempt and disheveled. Gu Xijiu had never seen him in such a messy state before and was shocked.
Zhu Duqing noticed the bewilderment in Gu Xijiu’s big shocked eyes and was immediately at loss of what to do. His image was gone. Although he did not really care about his image in front of most people, things were different with Gu Xijiu. Therefore, Zhu Duqing quickly rushed into the woods to tidy up his clothes.
When Zhu Duqing finally returned, Gu Xijiu was still in shock. "Are you really Zhu Duqing? You really are a Bamboo Monster!"
Zhu Duqing was already immaculately dressed, but his face was still pale. With a cough, he awkwardly corrected her, "I am a Bamboo Devil, not a Bamboo Monster. All the Bamboo Monsters are my juniors."
"How old are you?"
"About this... Honestly, I am not too sure." In fact, he had already been cultivating for tens of thousands of years. However, he did not want Gu Xijiu to know how old he really was.
Gu Xijiu took a look at a green leaf in her hand. Then, she continued to observe Zhu Duqing. Had she been pulling off his hair?
"How did you transform into your old self so suddenly?" Gu Xijiu was curious.
Zhu Duqing was too arrogant to tell her the truth about Di Fuyi’s mean trick. "About that, it was all because of the storm last night. I was trying to absorb the energy from the wind," he promptly explained.
