Chapter 891: Chapter 896: The Final Test 11
Closing her eyes to focus, the only thing amiss was the excessive heat.
There was a slight ache in her knee joint, but it was almost negligible.
After what felt like an eternity, Su Tang opened her eyes lazily, feeling as if she was filled with strength from head to toe, utterly at ease.
Greeting her sight was the Tiger’s cautious gaze.
Su Tang burst into laughter, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I get prettier?"
As she spoke, she even touched her cheeks in mock vanity.
Gaiyin’s eyes were complex, "Do you know how long you’ve been sitting here?"
"How long?" Su Tang was somewhat baffled; had she not been sitting here for just fifteen minutes? Was that too long?
"One day and one night."
Su Tang fell silent.
If it weren’t for seeing the three hourglasses in the sky, with one having stopped flowing, she might have really believed Gaiyin was joking with her.
She felt as though she had only soaked in the warm water for a mere fifteen minutes—how could so much time have passed?
"Do you feel any discomfort?" Gaiyin’s tone was somewhat anxious.
Su Tang shook her head, "Not at all. I feel like I’m brimming with power. Could it be that I’ve succeeded?"
Gaiyin was uncertain as well.
He reached out his hand to Su Tang, "Come out first, the water is dirty."
Hearing this, Su Tang noticed the water that was once clear and transparent had become murky with a grayish-white hue, though it was odorless; it just looked like limewater.
Su Tang took Gaiyin’s hand and jumped out of the tub with his help.
She couldn’t be sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt her physical condition was hundreds of times better than before!
Standing in front of Gaiyin, Su Tang let out a curious "Huh," "Why does it feel a bit odd?"
Gaiyin nodded with a faint smile, "Tangtang has grown taller."
Su Tang’s eyes widened in surprise, the sudden joy overwhelming her, her smile nearly reaching her ears.
"I’ve grown taller, I’ve actually grown taller!"
Previously, Su Tang was one meter sixty-one, which was not so conspicuous on Blue Star, but in the Beast World, it was a bit short.
The females here generally stood one seventy-five or taller, making her look like a cub among them, often mistaken for a juvenile.
Usually, when she stood next to Gaiyin, the top of her head barely reached his shoulder.
But now, a direct glance allowed her to see his chin!
Su Tang rubbed her hands together in delight, "Improving physical constitution can also make one grow taller—what a great deal! I must be at least one seventy-five now!"
Gaiyin didn’t understand what she meant by one seventy-five, but seeing how happy she was, he couldn’t help nodding along, "Yes, almost as tall as my Amu."
At those words, Su Tang was so thrilled she could almost fly.
With Ye Qiao being a full one eighty, nearly catching up to him meant she must be one seventy-eight, right?!
She took Gaiyin’s arm; her head still couldn’t rest entirely on his shoulder, but compared to their significant height difference before, it was a perfect fit now!
Su Tang was exceptionally pleased!
Gradually regaining her senses amidst the excitement, Su Tang looked around, "Where did Cub go? Why isn’t he here?"
Gaiyin replied, "We’re short on time, so I sent him to find the keys first."
Su Tang became serious, "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Let’s hurry and find the keys too. I’ve wasted so much time; who knows how the others are doing with their search?"
