Time passed swiftly, and another thousand years of palace life went by, bringing various changes to the palace. The birds from the old days began to take human form, as did the flowers, trees, fish, and shrimp in the ponds. Now, with so many newly transformed beings, they all agreed to come and thank Ji Yunsheng once their transformation was complete. There were ten of them in total—six females and four males. Two pairs of the men and women were transformed from birds, while two of the female ones came from the fish in the lake and ponds. One female was transformed from the plum blossom tree in the garden, and another from the willow tree planted outside the room. The remaining two males were transformed from trees in the deep forest: one from black bamboo, and the other from a banyan tree. Among these ten people, some looked older while others appeared quite young.
When the group arrived outside Ji Yunsheng's room to wait, Ji Yunsheng and the young women came out. They all bowed and thanked him in unison, saying, "Thank you, Senior, for playing the music that helped us take human form."
Hearing this, Ji Yunsheng smiled and said, "There's no need for that. We all live in this space anyway. If you don't mind, you can just call me Boss."
