Gu Nianyang smelled a stench of sweat, it was coming from her own body.
Well, after working in the Medicine Field all night, her body was drenched in sweat, how could it not stink?
Wrinkling her nose in self-disgust, Nianyang thought of that hot spring and quickly ran over to test it with her hand. The spring water was hot, just right for bathing.
A little elf yawned and popped up saying, "Master, the hot spring pool is flowing, it automatically changes the water each time you soak, you can use it indefinitely."
"High tech indeed!"
Doesn't this mean she effectively has a natural bathing pool that she can use anytime, anywhere?
Nianyang felt overwhelmed with joy, she couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly shed her clothes and dove into the pool.
Soaking in the warm hot spring, Nianyang felt all the soreness on her body disappear, instantly refreshed, without any fatigue from a night's work. It seems this spring water also has fatigue-relieving effects!
Nianyang hadn't soaked for long before she joyfully discovered her previously rough skin had become much more delicate.
Through the water-like lens, Nianyang noticed her originally sallow little face now appeared more fair and rosy.
A beauty is defined by bone structure, not the skin, the original owner had great bones: a small face palm-sized, a full forehead, big eyes, a cute nose, lips like rose petals, the proportions of the facial features were truly perfect.
However, long-term malnutrition led to a skinny and sallow complexion that affected the overall appearance, but it's evident that once the skin fills out, she would indeed be a beauty.
Nianyang initially planned to gradually restore the original owner's lost nutrition over time, but she never imagined that just one soak in the hot spring would bring about such changes. Could it be that this spring water also has beautifying effects?
"Yes, Master, not just the hot spring water but also the Spiritual Spring water, drinking it daily not only strengthens and invigorates but also makes you increasingly beautiful."
"Mhm, got it."
Nianyang was delighted inside, this space was truly precious, it seemed she was getting ever closer to becoming a wealthy beauty!

After a comfortable hot spring bath, Nianyang felt she should head out, but how to get out was a problem.
The elf helpfully said, "Master, this space is controlled by your mind. To get in or out, just think it. If you need to ask me anything, think it in your mind and we can get in touch."
Nianyang nodded, suddenly realizing a crucial issue, "Oh right, little elf, I found that you know everything I think? Can this function be blocked?"
Nianyang didn't like the feeling of being seen through, even if the other party was just a guardian elf of the space.
The elf replied obediently, "Of course, we can block the telepathic connection with you, Master. In the future, just speak directly to me."

As soon as Nianyang exited the space, she realized it was already morning. She opened the door and walked out.
In the living room, Wang Ying was preparing breakfast for the day. The Gu Family's conditions weren't good, so breakfast was quite simple—just a pot of coarse grain porridge paired with scallion pancakes.
"Lanlan, these are fresh eggs laid by our chicken today, you're going to be a senior in high school next semester, preparing for college takes a lot of brainpower, eat more free-range eggs to supplement your nutrition!" Wang Ying said, holding the freshly laid eggs with a look of affection towards Gu Youlan, glanced at Gu Nianyang who just came out, but didn't even bat an eye, as if she wasn't there.
"I know, thanks Mom!" Gu Youlan smiled sweetly and took the eggs, immediately started peeling them. She loved the feeling of being the only one adored by everyone at home.
As for her sister, Gu Nianyang, she could only serve beneath her!
Nianyang glanced at the dining table where there weren't any utensils set for her at all, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Mom, where's my breakfast?"
Gu Youlan lifted her gaze and looked at Nianyang, and was immediately stunned.
Is it an illusion?
Why did she feel her useless sister seemed much prettier overnight!
Wang Ying didn't notice the change in Nianyang as keenly as Gu Youlan. She rudely shouted, "You damn girl, yesterday you had us all scolded by the neighbors, today you woke up so late not even preparing pig feed, and you still want breakfast? There's none for you today, hurry up and feed the pigs in the yard!"
Gu Youlan smirked triumphantly, Gu Nianyang, this fool thought that causing a commotion in front of everyone yesterday would really make her equal to me? Dream on!
