Culprit

The bathroom door opened, and Su Yuan fumbled in the dark drawer for a tape measure before returning to the bathroom to measure her bust. The result showed that her chest had grown by three centimeters since the last measurement!

"It grew three centimeters all at once, no wonder it feels so swollen!"

She wore a strange expression, looking suspiciously at the person in the mirror, whose clothes were pulled up to her armpits, revealing most of her chest. With delicate eyebrows, large eyes, a delicate nose, and small ears, coupled with slightly flushed cheeks and a flawless chin, her entire face was simply pretty and charming.

The skin exposed to the air was fair and delicate, with faint traces of protruding bones visible between her rib cage and abdomen. Her chest, though not yet fully developed, already had the proportions of a young woman, possessing a tender and beautiful shape.

This visual impact left her feeling lost, a mix of shyness and curiosity. But was the person in the mirror really herself?

For the past few days, Su Yuan had been measuring her bust almost daily, with slight increases each time. However, a sudden growth of three centimeters like today was a first.

If before it could only be described as "swelling," now it had taken on the shape of breasts.

Her attention refocused on the green jade. Su Yuan picked it up, held it against the bathroom light, and stared intently, examining it repeatedly.

The result was that it looked no different from ordinary jade! At least, she, an amateur, couldn't tell the difference.

She put the jade down, turned, and leaned against the marble sink. She crossed one arm over her chest, resting her hand on her elbow, holding the tape measure. Her other hand rested on her chin, her legs slightly crossed, her brow furrowed in deep thought.

Transformation was an extraordinary event, something ordinary people rarely encountered, and the jade in her hand was equally strange.

When something unusual happens, there's usually a reason!

"The probability of two such things happening simultaneously is astronomically low."

She glanced at the jade in her hand and began to organize her thoughts, slowly piecing together the process of what had happened. "First, the jade emitted light and heat, then a warm current flowed into my body, followed by..."

Sweating!

Feeling hot all over!

The heat was most noticeable in her lower abdomen, radiating from within, but the most intense sensation was between her legs, like ants biting! It felt tingly and itchy!

Simultaneously, her chest felt swollen! It had grown by three centimeters!

"Right, and a strong urge to urinate!" Thinking of this, Su Yuan felt speechless. The situation had been too sudden; if she hadn't quickly clamped her legs together, she might have wet herself right then and there.

"Could it be... this jade has the effect of breast enhancement and diuresis? If I run out of money in the future, opening a breast enhancement clinic wouldn't be bad. As for diuresis, that's just too ridiculous..."

Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she shuddered as if possessed, fearfully dropping the jade. "Could it be... this jade is the culprit behind my transformation?"

Jade = Transformation?

Jade = Development?

This green, blocky object felt like a demon, filling Su Yuan with dread. Its faint green hue was like ghost fire.

If it was truly the culprit behind her transformation, it was unbelievable! Could such a small thing have such magical properties?

But upon closer thought, the time she acquired the jade and the time of her transformation were almost identical, and the jade had indeed shown unusual behavior earlier.

It was basically confirmed.

"This is a rip-off! Is this really happening?" Not aliens, not a gene mutation, but she just happened to buy a piece of jade??

At this moment, Su Yuan was filled with rage towards the Young Taoist Priest who had sold her the jade.

The greatest hatred in the world is when someone tricks you into buying a piece of jade and, in the process, changes your gender! "Next time I see him, I'll beat him until he's spitting teeth!!" Gritting her teeth, she fiercely vowed.

After an unknown amount of time, looking at the motionless jade lying by the sink, Su Yuan tentatively picked it up again, examining it from left to right. The jade was now so calm, showing no unusual behavior.

Apart from the comforting, nourishing feeling it gave her, there was nothing "aggressive" about it.

If it were compared to a pet dog, holding it in her arms would evoke softness and gentleness; no one would associate it with a Tibetan Mastiff.

Knowing it was poison, yet still indulging in the pleasure it brought.

Su Yuan spent nearly an hour in the bathroom. During that time, she wiped herself down with a wet towel. As she was wringing out the towel, a faint sound came from outside, and the bathroom door was pushed open from the outside.

Ji Yehao entered. Su Yuan had already finished drying herself when he came in.

Seeing Su Yuan standing by the sink, he said in surprise, "Huh? Su Yuan, what are you doing here?" He looked her up and down, feeling that she didn't look like she was using the toilet. Was she hiding in the bathroom to contemplate life?

He glanced at her—in front of her was a basin with a white towel, a piece of jade beside it, and a tape measure. She was wearing a loose, thin short-sleeved shirt, her arms exposed; she was wearing shorts, hidden by her shirt, and below the hem of her top, two fair, tender thighs were directly exposed.

Looking from behind, he could vaguely see the alluring curves of her hips and waist.

Complementing the frontal view in the mirror, this tempting scene made Ji Yehao's blood surge, and his nose almost started bleeding.

"She's gotten thinner..." he thought.

"Ah, Ye Hao, are you going to the bathroom?"

Su Yuan, snapping back to reality, asked a very foolish question.

To cover her embarrassment, Ji Yehao chuckled, "Yes, I was woken up by the thunder and came to use the restroom. Were you woken up too?"

Su Yuan nodded. Immediately, she felt her attire was very revealing and not suitable for lingering. She coughed lightly and walked out, carrying the basin.

After she left, Ji Yehao touched his nose. He didn't overthink it and went back to sleep after using the restroom.

It was past four o'clock. After some adjustments, Su Yuan lay comfortably in her covers. She thought, if the jade was the culprit behind her transformation, what was its function? At most, it was just to help her become a "complete form" faster.

The hospital check-up had already confirmed her transformation into a complete form, so the jade's role was likely limited to breast enhancement.

She wondered if, by thinking in reverse, there was a possibility of reverting to her pre-transformation state.
