The seemingly boiling water posed no threat at all to Hu Tutu, who was in the Core Formation Realm.
But once the medicinal power of the Spirit Herbs within was activated and entered her body, Hu Tutu felt unbearably hot all over.
It was like sleeping on a scorching heated brick bed in the height of summer, wrapped in a quilt and hugging a stove.
"It's so hot! Boohoo, Third Senior Brother, I don't want to soak anymore!" Hu Tutu leaned against the edge of the pot with a towel on her head, her little face flushed red, and looked miserably at Chen Changsheng as he tended the heat.
"No, Little Junior Sister. Hold on a little longer. You'll have soaked for four hours soon," Chen Changsheng said without mercy.
Hu Tutu turned over and sat miserably in the pot, feeling thoroughly frustrated. I'm so hungry. Boohoo, ┭┮﹏┭┮.
Having reached the Core Formation Realm and freed herself from the need for food, Hu Tutu no longer needed to eat. But the good habit of eating three meals a day that she had developed at Little Mountain Peak still made her feel her stomach rumble as a conditioned reflex.
"No, Grandpa said that even if I die, I have to die with a full belly!" Hu Tutu glanced at the medicinal bath giving off a rich medicinal fragrance and licked her lips. It smelled all right, so it ought to taste pretty good too, right?
Hu Tutu scooped up a handful of medicinal liquid and slurped a mouthful. The unusual fragrance of the Spirit Herbs, along with an indescribable sense of satisfaction, instantly perked her up.
"Slurp... boohoo... Grandpa... smack, smack... boohoo... your Tutu... slurp... is going to be cooked through..."
"Senior Brother, does it really have to take that long?"
