A Complete Transformation

The two carried hot water to the side room next to the bedroom, poured it into the large wooden bathtub, tested the water temperature, and then stood aside with their hands hanging down.

Shen Jingchuan pushed open the door and entered, casually taking off his outer garment and then stripping down to his underwear. Turning his head, he saw the two women still standing there stiffly, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, saying:

"What, you two want to watch me wash?"

One sentence made the two girls blush instantly, their heads were lowered, their eyelashes trembled slightly, but they didn't move.

Shen Jingchuan stopped teasing them, turned around and stepped into the bathtub, squatted down to let the warm water reach his chest, and raised his hand to rub the black stains on his arms.

Su Qingshu and Su Qinghua exchanged another glance, bit their lips, and then tiptoed over. One took a clean bath towel, and the other scooped up warm water. Su Qingshu's voice was barely audible:

"Brother, let us... give you a back rub."

Shen Jingchuan paused, surprised that these two girls actually dared to come over. He wasn't a novice anymore and wasn't that afraid of women. Since his back couldn't reach them, he casually replied:

"Alright then." He turned around, his back to them.

The two little girls held their breath, their movements as light as cotton. When their fingertips occasionally touched his back, they would quickly pull away as if burned. They kept their eyes down the whole time, not daring to look around. Their ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed. The only sound in the room was the rushing water.

Shen Jingchuan leaned against the tub, letting the warm water soak his body, his mind completely free of any distractions.

Watching the two little girls bustling around, he always remembered when he first bought them—the two sisters were so thin they were just skin and bones, their faces were sallow, their hair was infested with lice, and they were timid even when they looked up to speak.

They've been staying at home these days, not only eating their fill every meal, but he also often gives them fruits grown in his space. As time goes by, their faces gradually regain their color, their skin becomes much fairer, and their already delicate features slowly unfold. It's already clear that they'll definitely grow up to be great beauties.

But in his eyes, these two were still just little girls around ten years old, no different from little sisters, and he couldn't possibly have any other thoughts about them.

But Su Qingshu and Su Qinghua didn't think that way.

In the Great Qian Kingdom, women marry young. It is common for ordinary families to arrange marriages at the age of thirteen or fourteen and for women to marry at fifteen or sixteen. By this age, they already understand matters between men and women.

Shen Jingchuan was the one who saved them from their suffering. He was so handsome and kind to them. As they spent time together every day, the two girls developed a budding affection for each other.

As she served him, her fingertips occasionally brushed against his warm skin, and her heart pounded wildly. She was too shy to look up, yet she couldn't help but steal glances at him, her heart pounding like a little rabbit.

After a short while, Shen Jingchuan finished his bath and stood up, still wearing his underwear. Seeing the two maids approaching with towels to dry himself, he waved them away.

"Alright, you guys can go out now, I can do it myself."

The two sisters were stunned for a moment, then their cheeks turned bright red. They quickly lowered their heads and replied "Yes," as if they had received a pardon. They lifted their skirts and hurriedly retreated, closing the door behind them.

Even as they stood on the veranda outside the door, both of them were still panting, clutching their chests. They looked at each other and saw the lingering shyness in each other's eyes.

Once inside, Shen Jingchuan took off his underwear and squatted back in the water to scrub away the last bit of dirt from his body. Then he stepped out of the tub, took a clean towel, and carefully dried himself before changing into a dry nightgown.

After Bai Ruoli finished washing up with Qinghe by her side, the two of them had just stepped out of the main room when they saw Su Qingshu and Su Qinghua standing on the corridor outside the side room.

The two little girls' cheeks were as red as if they had been smeared with rouge. They stood with their heads down, twisting the hem of their clothes with their fingertips, their ear tips even showing pink, looking shy and uneasy.

Bai Ruoli was a little puzzled, so she walked over and asked:

What are you two doing standing here? Did something happen?

Before he could finish speaking, the wooden door of the side room creaked open, and Shen Jingchuan walked out, drying his half-dry black hair.

When Bai Ruoli saw Shen Jingchuan come out, she was about to curtsy to greet him when she suddenly stopped, looked up at him, and was momentarily lost in thought.

Qinghe behind him was also stunned, staring blankly at Shen Jingchuan, her eyes full of surprise.

The person before me still had the same familiar features, but his entire aura was completely different. He used to be just a handsome and dashing young man, but now he seemed to have been polished by water, exuding a clear and refreshing energy.

Her skin was noticeably fairer and smoother than before, even her jawline appeared sharper and softer, and her eyes shone like stars. Standing in the morning sunlight, she exuded an ethereal charm.

Su Qingshu and Su Qinghua were still blushing with their faces down when they saw Bai Ruoli servant staring intently at Shen Jingchuan, so they couldn't help but turn their heads to look over.

Upon closer inspection, the two sisters were stunned; they hadn't dared to look closely before, and their minds had been elsewhere.

Looking at him now, it seems like he's completely changed after just one shower. He looks refreshed and neat, even his skin is much fairer, and he looks even more handsome.

Feeling bewildered by the four pairs of eyes staring at him, Shen Jingchuan raised his hand to touch his cheek and chuckled:

Why are you all staring at me like that? Is there dust on my face?

As he spoke, he raised his arm and glanced at it, and immediately understood. After mastering the Everlasting Spring Breathing Instruction, it had even conditioned his skin and flesh, washing away the impurities inside, which made it appear fair and translucent.

He lowered his arm, smiled, and gestured with his chin towards the group. "Don't you think there's a change in me?"

Bai Ruoli was the first to come to her senses, nodding slightly, her eyes still showing lingering surprise. Qinghe and the Su Household sisters also nodded repeatedly, staring at him intently.

"It's from practicing martial arts," Shen Jingchuan said casually. "I made some progress today, and after taking care of my body, it ended up like this."

Upon hearing this, the four suddenly realized that it was because their husbands, young masters, and elder brothers had achieved great success in their martial arts training, transforming themselves and developing such healthy complexions.

Bai Ruoli immediately curtsied, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Congratulations, my husband, on your success in your martial arts training and on your good health."

Qinghe also curtsied and said, "Congratulations, young master."

The sisters, Su Qingshu and Su Qinghua, bowed in unison and said in clear, crisp voices, "Congratulations, brother!"

Shen Jingchuan stepped forward, put his arm around Bai Ruoli's waist, and led her slowly towards the bedroom, waving with a smile:

"It's just some minor improvement in health, nothing to congratulate."

After breakfast, Shen Jingchuan rode Big Black straight to Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
