“This is…?” Chu Nan tried to open the book but realized that these three skills were completely different from the previous druid battle skill inheritances. Moreover, he could not open any of the books.

“That’s strange.”

Chu Nan put back into the spatial ring, and he suddenly recalled seeing a similar skill inheritance while he was organising the barbarians’ skill books.

After spending some time searching, Chu Nan located the skill book, , that was extremely similar to the .

However, the situation was the same as he could not open the , but could freely browse through the other skill books.

“Maybe there are some special conditions that need to be met before this book can be opened?” Chu Nan carefully put the back and felt that these uniquely decorated battle skill inheritances were far more important compared to the other skill books.

Opening the skill book, , he immediately felt a headache when he saw its contents. He did not expect that the inheritance of other races would also be written in Chinese, so he found it extremely strange.

After that, Chu Nan forcefully memorized each and every word of and casually read through .

Now that he had seen Shanz’s physique, he started to imagine if he could make him his bodyguard when he left the forest. His life in human society would be safer, right?

After he finished reading through both skill books, Chu Nan pretended to head toward a small lake. Since he gave the excuse of resolving his bowel needs, then he would naturally need to wash his hands once he was done.

Squatting by the river and scooping up a handful of water, Chu Nan felt momentarily stunned when he went to wash his face; he hadn’t washed since he had arrived in this world.

This… This is…? Chu Nan blankly stared at his reflection in the lake.

In the reflection, the appearance of the man was not similar to Chu Nan. He had slightly pointed ears while his exquisite and handsome face was beyond comparison.

“This… this… isn’t this my in-game character’s appearance?” Chu Nan blankly stared at his reflection in the water and spoke with a gloomy tone. “What the heck, I’m a man full of masculinity. I’m much more handsome than this!”

As he said that, Chu Nan saw his appearance suddenly twisting, and the incredibly handsome face had disappeared. Replacing it was an ordinary youth’s face.

“This…” Chu Nan rubbed his eyes, yet the face reflected in the lake was still his original, ordinary appearance.

“That’s strange.”

Chu Nan sat by the lake and gazed at the sky. Ever since he had arrived in the Shengyuan Continent, everything that happened was so magical and strange.

Firstly, he had brought the equipment and skill books along with him to this world and, secondly, the skill books from the game existed here as well. Moreover, even the most common skill book seemed to be amazing in this world.

“It’s no wonder I was called a human with the elvish bloodline earlier on.” Chu Nan looked at his reflection in the water and sighed. “What should I do now? I’ve changed back to my original appearance, and they won’t possibly recognize me now. How can I revert this?”

His reflection in the water distorted once again, and the incomparably handsome half-blood elvish appearance surfaced.

“Eh? It seems like it changes according to my wishes.” Chu Nan joyfully said. “Change into my human appearance.”

The reflection became distorted again, and he recovered his original human appearance. From this test, he finally confirmed his speculation, and he could change his appearance according to his will.

Why is this happening? Chu Nan shook his head and said, “Why do I have to figure this out? An unimaginable incident of crossing to a different world has already happened to me, so possessing the ability to switch between two faces is nothing.”

After adjusting his mentality, he changed back to his elvish appearance. “This is good too. I can change appearances in the future if I were to encounter extremely dangerous situations or to avoid the pursuit of others! Oh right, I can also play superhero!”

After some thought, Chu Nan felt delighted. It turned out that the transformation ability had many advantages, and he should soon research what else it can help with in the future.

A gentle rustle suddenly sounded from the underbush. Chu Nan, who always maintained his vigilance in the forest, lifted up Sara Jane and aimed toward the bush. “Who is it? Come out!”

The bush spread open and Catherine, who was wearing simple yet sexy leopard fur clothes, walked out. Her pair of bright eyes flickered with grievance and an odd emotion that was hard to describe while she quietly looked at Chu Nan.

Druid traditions couldn’t be violated. If an unwed woman’s naked body was seen, there were only two paths they could take. One, kill the man who saw their body, or, second, marry the man instead.

Catherine felt conflicted. The delicate and handsome mixed-blood appearance was considered rare even amongst the elves, but why did she feel that he had an unreliable aura? Why was this coming from the man who had saved Aleta and temporarily prevented the destruction of their village?

Chu Nan warily stared at Catherine. Ever since this woman appeared, she has been rather emotionally unstable, and there were a few instances where she had wanted to kill him. The barbarians have been fooled and have left the village, so he cannot let his hard work go to waste now.

“Don’t tell me you want to fight it out with me again?” Chu Nan’s finger carefully rested on the trigger, and he helplessly said. “If you truly feel that you’ve suffered, then, at most, I’ll strip naked and let you see once…”

“Y-you!” Catherine frowned. “Hooligan!”

“Hooligan?” Chu Nan shook his head in objection. “A virgin girl is a virgin, and a virgin man is also a virgin! Don’t tell me that sexism exists in the Shengyuan Continent?”
