Chapter 303: Chapter 302: The Chapter Number in the Previous Title Was Wrong, the Content is Correct, Everyone Please Ignore (2nd Update)

There was a spring and a stream in the space.

The stream could only purify impurities in food, while the spring could cleanse impurities from the human body.

However, this spring could only be used by Xu Niannian.

After drinking from the spring, Xu Niannian’s skin underwent significant changes. Although it had the effect of Bone Cleansing and Marrow Washing, Xu Niannian dared not continue to drink it.

Now, the milky spring water had already filled the spring’s eye.

Human bodies produce many impurities due to the consumption of various grains.

During this period, she was busy with business, having had almost no leisure time since opening the store.

If it weren’t for the spring water she had drunk before, her body probably wouldn’t have withstood such prolonged fatigue.

Now, she had even developed gastrointestinal problems.

Xu Niannian, feeling helpless, decided to drink some spring water to see if it had any effect, as it was the only quick solution.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, white as cream, Xu Niannian thought to herself that the change shouldn’t be too drastic this time.

After all, her skin was already so white; it couldn’t get much whiter.

To avoid any more bouts of vomiting, Xu Niannian clenched her teeth, bent down, and drank directly from the spring’s eye.

The taste of the milky spring water was indescribable, neither particularly tasty nor unpleasant, but she felt compelled to keep drinking, as if something was luring her.

It was like a person starved for a long time suddenly seeing food and instinctively stuffing as much as possible into their mouth.

Xu Niannian was in such a state.

It was only after she had her fill that she realized she had drunk half of the spring water in the stone seat.

The spring water would slowly replenish over time, so Xu Niannian wasn’t worried about it running out.

What concerned her was whether drinking so much of it at once would cause drastic changes.

Xu Niannian was so annoyed that she wished she could stick a finger down her throat and vomit it out.

However, no matter how much she tried, she felt no urge to vomit.

The continuous retching she had experienced before had also suddenly stopped.

Xu Niannian knew the spring water had the power of Bone Cleansing and Marrow Washing, but having consumed so much at once, she didn’t know what kind of ghastly transformation she might undergo.

After drinking the spring water, sludge would be expelled from her body. Worried that Jin Yu might come out at any moment, Xu Niannian hurriedly left the space and ran to the bathroom.

Indeed, after a short while, fine, dense black sludge began to ooze from her skin.

Having purged impurities once before, the black sludge was less dramatic this time, but it was mixed with different colored specks.

Faint pink granules.

The black sludge did not smell pleasant, but these faint pink granules emitted a special fragrance.

Xu Niannian didn’t know what they were, but that didn’t affect her urge to quickly wash off all the excretions from her body.

She didn’t even bother waiting for the water to heat up and just washed with cold water.

Jin Yu returned from outside and, hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, knocked on the door, "Niannian, are you in there?"

Xu Niannian made a humming sound, thinking Jin Yu needed to use the restroom, and hastily said, "Wait a minute, I’ll be done soon."

Her voice was soft to the bone, a tone she hadn’t realized herself.

Hearing her voice, Jin Yu’s dark pupils instantly darkened.

Jin Yu turned the handle he was holding and pushed the door open.

Xu Niannian happened to be coming out fully dressed.

The round-necked blouse with ruffled trim revealed her beautiful collarbone, which dipped in an exceptionally attractive shape.

"Okay, you can go in,"

Xu Niannian said to him, stepping aside to let him in.

Her eyes were moist and bright, shimmering with vitality as they caught the light.

Her watery, almond-shaped eyes widened, the tips lifting upward, indescribably charming.

However, she was completely oblivious to her allure, and seeing Jin Yu blocking the doorway, neither moving aside to let her pass nor entering himself, she glared at him impatiently.

Her almond eyes flashed with vigor.

Unable to resist, Jin Yu gave a sharp intake of breath and suddenly reached out to grasp her.

"What are you doing?" Xu Niannian asked softly.

Jin Yu couldn’t help but lower his head to take a closer look at Xu Niannian. His slender fingers pinched her chin, turning it left and right for inspection.

Xu Niannian was puzzled by his actions, and upon seeing the evaluative look in his eyes, she suddenly gasped, remembering that she had just consumed the spring water.

Could it be that the change was significant?

Her voice trembled, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No."

Jin Yu replied in a low voice, his deep eyes inscrutable like a boundless ocean filled with countless dangerous waves roiling within.

As soon as he spoke, Xu Niannian could detect the hoarseness in his voice.

Hearing him say there was nothing, Xu Niannian breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Yu squinted his eyes at the little girl in his arms, feeling that something was off about her.

She seemed different.

Yet, if he had to put his finger on what exactly had changed, Jin Yu couldn’t quite articulate it.

Her face remained the same, her skin color unchanged, her features unaltered; she was still his little girl, with perhaps just softer skin, showing no real change at all.

But the whole feeling she conveyed had altered.

It was still the same face, yet somehow different.

Each movement she made, every furrow of her brow, her casual demeanor, all seemed like that of a temptress skilled at beguiling hearts.

Jin Yu had always known how beautiful his wife was.

After all, wasn’t it her captivating charm that had ensnared his heart in the first place?

Unable to pinpoint the change, yet feeling a difference, Jin Yu could only assume it was because she had just taken a bath.

"What were you doing in there?" Jin Yu asked her.

"Taking a bath, what else could it be?" Xu Niannian’s reply came with an odd sense of guilt.

But Jin Yu wasn’t focused on this and thus didn’t notice.

Xu Niannian wondered why he was inquiring when, in the next second, she was abruptly hoisted into the air, held upright in his arms.

The sudden lifting caused Xu Niannian to instinctively wrap her arms around his neck.

Jin Yu carried her into the house and drew the curtains shut, even though it was broad daylight.

When Xu Niannian woke up again, Jin Yu was sitting at the desk with an air of refreshment, holding a book in his hand.

Xu Niannian lay on the bed watching him. Seeing his handsome face made her teeth itch with annoyance; that animal, how could he look so spirited.

Wearing his long shirt, Xu Niannian tiptoed over and hugged his neck from behind the chair.

"What are you reading?"

"Reading a book you wouldn’t understand," Jin Yu replied, taking hold of her hand.

Xu Niannian rolled her eyes speechlessly, "That’s what we call looking down on someone."

Now Xu Niannian was speaking like her usual self again, and Jin Yu thought to himself, surely it was because his thoughts had been improper earlier that made her seem increasingly womanly in her speech.

Setting the book down on the desk, Jin Yu pulled her closer.

His fingers toyed with her earlobe, his gaze falling on her face.

Hmm, the face was still the same...

From Jin Yu’s reaction, Xu Niannian felt that although she had drunk a lot of spring water, the change might not have been that noticeable, or else Jin Yu would have seen it.

Jin Yu acted normally, and Xu Niannian thought there really had been no change.

That was, until she sat in front of the dressing mirror and saw the woman reflected within, whose eyes seemed to glisten and danced with ripples even with the slightest expression. Xu Niannian was astonished as she cupped her face.

My God, this this this...

Was that person in the mirror really her?

It had to be; her features and skin tone were the same, but the overall impression had clearly shifted.

Xu Niannian used to exude a feeling of three parts coquettishness and seven parts purity.

Now, it had transformed into seven parts coquettishness and three parts purity.

With just a casual blink of her watery apricot eyes, she looked like a vixen.

As a woman herself, Xu Niannian felt bewitched by the lady in the mirror.
