With Gu Siqing and Su Wanying supporting him on either side, Qin Xiao walked upstairs with slightly unsteady steps.
The soft lighting in the corridor reflected the different expressions on the three people's faces.
"I...I want to take a shower."
Qin Xiao's voice carried a hint of weariness, yet it also revealed an undeniable persistence.
A hint of worry flashed in Gu Siqing's cool eyes.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, is this convenient?"
Su Wanying was even more direct, getting closer with seductive eyes.
"Yes, Brother Qin Xiao, you're injured. What if you get wet? Why don't we sisters help you wash?"
Her breath was as sweet as orchids, carrying an alluring fragrance.
"Yes, we'll help you and look after you."
Gu Siqing unusually chimed in, though a barely perceptible blush rose on her cheeks.
Qin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.
These two women, one an iceberg and the other a flame, together are simply deadly.
He quickly waved his hand, his tone somewhat embarrassed.
"No need, no need! I can manage on my own! Don't follow me!"
After saying that, he rushed into the master bedroom bathroom as if fleeing, then slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside.
Leaning against the cold door, Qin Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.
The bathroom was filled with steam.
He walked to the huge round bathtub and began to fill it with water.
The warm water gurgled and quickly filled most of the bathtub.
Qin Xiao silently recited in his heart.
"Yun Yiyi, bring out the [Bone Cleansing and Marrow Cleansing Pill]."
He wanted to take this opportunity to completely transform this body that had been hollowed out by wine and women.
The next second, a huge object emitting a faint medicinal fragrance appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Qin Xiao looked at the thing in front of him, and his eye twitched.
This thing... is as big as a basketball.
"Yun Yiyi, are you sure this is a pill?"
"This is clearly Pro Max pill!"
"Damn, this is huge! If I eat it, I'll just die!"
"Host, please rest assured."
Yun Yiyi's soft, sweet voice echoed in my mind, tinged with a hint of grievance.
"The original owner's body was severely weakened by excessive indulgence in wine and women, leaving her with a very poor foundation. Coupled with the severity of your injuries this time, the system specially prepared an extremely large dose of the Bone-Cleansing and Marrow-Treating Pill."
"The goal is to completely elevate your physical attributes to your peak condition before you transmigrated, and even... surpass it!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao's expression softened slightly.
"Oh? Soul transmigration and transformation? That's more like it."
Without further hesitation, he picked up the giant pill and began to painstakingly gnaw on it.
The pill melts in your mouth, but the taste is rather dry.
Qin Xiao picked up the freshly squeezed orange juice that was prepared next to him, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and then barely managed to swallow a small piece of the pill.
As the medicine entered my stomach, a gentle warmth began to spread.
But soon, the heat turned into a burning pain.
It felt as if countless steel needles were piercing his bones, muscles, and meridians at the same time.
"Ugh—!"
Qin Xiao gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and large beads of sweat rolling down his face.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a sticky, foul-smelling black filth seeping from every pore of his body.
The black mud stains accumulated and soon turned the clear bathwater murky.
Waves of excruciating pain crashed against his nerves like a tidal wave.
Even with Qin Xiao's amazing willpower, he couldn't help but let out a suppressed groan of pain.
"Um!"
Gu Siqing and Su Wanying, who were standing guard at the bathroom door, kept their ears perked up, listening to the sounds coming from inside.
Upon hearing the muffled groan, the two men's expressions immediately changed.
"Qin Xiao!"
"Brother Qin Xiao, what's wrong?"
The two of them pounded on the bathroom door almost simultaneously, their voices filled with anxiety.
"Bang bang bang!"
The door was slammed so hard it made a deafening noise.
Qin Xiao endured the excruciating pain and shouted with all his might.
"It's nothing... I... I was just rubbing off some dirt... I used a little too much force, you... don't come in!"
Gu Siqing and Su Wanying, who were outside the door, exchanged a glance and both saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
Can rubbing mud produce this kind of movement?
But since Qin Xiao had said so, they couldn't force their way in.
Time passed by, second by second.
The noise in the bathroom gradually subsided.
About half an hour later.
Qin Xiao slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
He looked down at his body.
The skin, which had been somewhat pale due to the injury, was now as white and smooth as jade, as if it had been reborn.
The wounds on his body had long since disappeared, leaving not even a trace of a scar.
To his even greater surprise, he felt an unprecedented surge of power within his body.
"Congratulations, host, the bone and marrow cleansing is complete!"
Yun Yiyi's voice rang out at just the right moment.
"Your height has increased by 5 centimeters, and you are now 186cm tall. All your physical functions have been greatly improved, approaching your peak condition before you transmigrated!"
Qin Xiao stood up and stretched his limbs.
A series of crisp cracking sounds followed.
He walked up to the mirror.
The man in the mirror was tall and slender, with smooth and powerful muscle lines, as perfect as an ancient Greek sculpture.
His facial features also became more defined and three-dimensional, losing some of the original owner's playboy air and gaining more mature and handsome charm.
"I still prefer using my old body."
Qin Xiao smiled with satisfaction.
