When Si Lu opened her eyes, she saw the two of them looking at her with complex expressions.
"What's going on? Is something wrong?"
She was a bit worried, thinking something serious had happened.
"What is it? You both look like that, and it's making me nervous," Si Lu said, unsure of what was happening.
She thought something serious had happened.
"Do you now have the strength of the Huang rank?" Song Zhan asked.
"You noticed it too! I told you, I can become stronger. Now that I have strength, I can protect myself!" Si Lu said with a smile.
She had always longed to become strong.
Now that she had gained some strength, becoming even stronger was just a matter of time.
After all, she didn't want to drag them down anymore, nor did she want to be a burden to anyone.
"Although it's a good thing, you must not reveal this. It could be dangerous. Since you can absorb crystals, we'll figure out how to get you some," Cheng Mo said.
Although it might be a bit tricky, it wasn't impossible to obtain.
"No need; I don't need that anymore. From now on, none of us will need them. Here, drink this; I've got a surprise for you!" Si Lu pulled out a small wooden bucket filled with spirit spring water.
She wanted them to try it too.
Maybe it would benefit their bodies.
Cheng Mo, gazing at the beloved female in front of him, smiled. Whatever she gave him, he'd drink it.
Without hesitation, he took the small wooden bucket, grabbed a clean stone bowl nearby, and drank it.
The water had a slight sweetness and a refreshing fragrance, making him feel very comfortable.
He couldn't help but drink another bowl. The water tasted slightly addictive, and soon he was drinking bowl after bowl. Before long, he finished the entire bucket.
Song Zhan, watching from the side, was dumbfounded!
How could this guy make drinking water look so enjoyable?
Wait a minute, where's my share?
Damn it!
While I wasn't paying attention, my share was gone. He felt a bit aggrieved.
That water was given to him by Si Lu!
And now it was gone!
Si Lu looked at Cheng Mo, who seemed unsatisfied and was a bit dumbfounded.
What…
"Is there more?" Cheng Mo licked his lips and asked.
This water felt different.
He didn't know why, but his whole body felt warm, and there was a sensation of comfort that couldn't be described.
It felt so good that he wanted to howl.
"There's plenty. There's a whole well of this water in my space," Si Lu said, nodding quickly.
She was now sure that the water was beneficial for Cheng Mo's body.
In that case, it was wonderful.
"Wait a moment; there's plenty of this water. I'll get you more." Si Lu took out another wooden bucket.
Cheng Mo immediately grabbed the bucket and started drinking again.
Si Lu and Song Zhan, watching from the side, were stunned.
Was the water really that tasty?
He was drinking directly from the bucket!
But inside, Song Zhan was feeling a little sour!
Where was his share?
He turned his gaze towards Si Lu, eyes full of longing.
That pitiful expression made Si Lu's heart ache.
So, she took out another wooden bucket filled with spirit spring water.
Song Zhan didn't hesitate either, immediately hugging the bucket and taking a drink. His eyes lit up instantly.
This water…
No wonder Cheng Mo was treasuring it.
This water was extraordinary. Si Lu watched the two of them gulping down the water and was slightly shocked.
Were they exaggerating a bit?
She had drunk it before, but she hadn't reacted as dramatically as they did.
Well, as long as they liked it, that's all that mattered.
After all, there was plenty of this water. They could drink as much as they wanted.
[Host, what you don't know is that this water can improve beastmen's bodies, remove impurities, enhance their strength, and trigger their potential.]. It also has beauty benefits, like improving skin texture. This spirit spring water is truly amazing!
[Host should drink more as well to improve yourself.]. Anything produced by this system is top quality! the system said, its tone full of pride.
Si Lu finally understood why the spirit spring water was so incredible.
No wonder.
The two beastmen were so excited, drinking water nonstop without even explaining to her what was going on—they were too caught up in their excitement.
When Cheng Mo finished his bucket, Si Lu didn't hesitate and immediately refilled it for him.
She did the same for Song Zhan, refilling his bucket.
The two were drinking water like they were in some kind of competition!
Soon, after five or six buckets, they finally stopped.
Cheng Mo licked his lips, eyes filled with surprise and delight as he looked at Si Lu. But in the next second, he caught a whiff of a foul smell, looked down, and his face turned black!
In a flash, he disappeared!
Si Lu: (⊙o⊙)…
Wow, that was fast!
He really moved like the wind.
Cheng Mo quickly returned!
His long hair was still wet with water droplets. As soon as he returned, he pulled Si Lu into his arms. "Why are you so happy? Was that spirit spring water really good for you?" Si Lu asked with a smile, leaning into Cheng Mo's cool, freshly washed body. It felt nice.
"Yes, it was very beneficial. My strength has increased; I've reached the blue rank," Cheng Mo said, smiling.
"Now, I can protect you better. Before, at my Green rank, I didn't know how long it would've taken to reach Blue rank. But thanks to your miraculous water, I've achieved it instantly. Not only that, I feel like I have endless strength, like my bones and blood have been remade. It's amazing!"
"Thank you so much." Cheng Mo said, kissing her forehead.
Of course!
With greater strength, he could protect his beloved female even better.
How could he not be happy or excited?
Every beastman longed to be strong.
Only with great strength could they survive better.
"That's amazing. As expected from my partner. What about Song Zhan?" Si Lu asked with a smile.
She was happy for Cheng Mo.
It seemed like Song Zhan was about to level up too.
His posture was also impressive!
At that moment, Song Zhan had finished drinking his bucket of water.
"Ah~ That was refreshing!" Song Zhan took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
In the next second, he also smelled a foul odor!
His face turned dark instantly!
Looking down at himself, he saw that he was covered in filthy, black grime, and it smelled terrible.
He raised his head and saw Si Lu standing far away with Cheng Mo, looking at him with a hint of disgust. He felt so wronged!
"Si Lu, I..." He was about to say something when Cheng Mo shot him a glare, making him feel even more wronged.
"Go take a bath! It's disgusting!" Cheng Mo said, his expression full of disdain.
"Yeah, go wash up," Si Lu said with a laugh.
"I'll be right back!" Song Zhan transformed into a big tiger and dashed off to take a bath.
