Chapter 55: The Door Opens

In the hazy mist, a graceful figure was faintly visible, inspiring endless fantasies.

The water from the showerhead sprinkled down on her body, and her wet black hair clung to her cheeks, making her foxy side profile look even more alluring.

Her peach-blossom-like bright eyes appeared slightly misty under the water vapor.

The foam from the bath ball concealed the two most tempting points.

Her proud figure displayed an irresistible posture in the drizzling warm water.

It was a pity that no one was able to appreciate such a beautiful sight.

Su Xuan was intoxicated by the relaxation that came with bathing. 

Ever since his body began to change towards a female form, he had become more and more addicted to bathing.

What used to be a simple ten-minute affair now took at least half an hour.

The hot water stimulated his crystal-clear skin, making it pink and tender, radiating a tempting luster.

His flushed cheeks seemed to be pleading for something.

If a group of vigorous young men were to witness such a sight, it would surely make their blood boil, unable to stop themselves, transforming into werewolves dominated by their lower bodies, pouncing on that graceful figure.

Because today’s experiences had been too exhausting, and the life-and-death battle had left him covered in grime.

Both his mind and body needed this bath to heal.

So today, Su Xuan bathed for an exceptionally long time, carefully scrubbing every part of his body, making his already pure and flawless body even more spotless.

Water droplets hung on his body like crystals adorning white jade.

His alluring little feet stepped on the floor, creating cluster after cluster of small splashes, making a soft “pitter-patter” sound of water colliding.

The warm water enveloped his body, making Su Xuan moan softly in comfort.

The relaxed mood after forgetting his troubles made Su Xuan hum a cheerful little tune.

People always heal themselves by forgetting, and Su Xuan was no exception.

Coupled with the ample water vapor displacing the air, the long bath made Su Xuan’s thinking a bit sluggish.

Several kilometers away at the temporary command post, a group of people walked together.

Shi Yidie looked at Su Chen and said, “Aren’t you planning to return to Lingnan today?”

Su Chen replied faintly, “There are no missions recently. It’s a good time to return to White City.”

Shi Yidie lowered her head with a little disappointment, but she quickly recovered from it and smiled, “Alright… that’s true. The captain hasn’t been home for a long time. It’s important to spend more time with family.”

At the same time, Shi Yidie said to herself in her heart, “The captain still lacks in guiding his little brother, which resulted in him going down a path of no return. So the captain must be very regretful.”

“But how can the captain’s little brother be so beautiful? For a boy to be that beautiful is against the rules, you know.”

As a well-known beauty in the Lingnan War Zone, she was even a little jealous of Su Xuan’s beauty.

It was a good thing he was a boy, and Su Chen’s own little brother.

From what Shi Yidie knew of the captain, he was definitely not the kind of person who would defy human ethics.

Although he wasn’t rigid, he had his own principles and adhered to his bottom line.

Therefore, Shi Yidie believed that no matter how beautiful Su Xuan was, even if he really became a girl, it wouldn’t hinder her pursuit of the captain in the slightest.

But when Shi Yidie thought of the impervious captain, she felt a little discouraged.

No one else had ever stood in her way on the path of pursuing love.

Because the biggest obstacle was the person she was pursuing.

Shi Yidie secretly glanced at Su Chen’s handsome, sculpture-like side profile, her cheeks flushing slightly.

When they reached a crossroads, everyone waved goodbye.

“Alright, see you all!”

“Goodbye, Captain!”

Su Chen smiled slightly and raised his hand to bid farewell to everyone, then walked alone towards the city center.

As an existence close to the Third Form, even without a motor vehicle, Su Chen could quickly reach his destination.

He always carried his house key with him.

Although he rarely had the chance to go home, keeping it with him gave him peace of mind.

The night was already very late.

Only the streetlights provided him with light along the way.

He hadn’t been back in years and felt a bit unfamiliar, but he still remembered the general direction.

As Su Chen hurried on his way, he thought about how to talk to Su Xuan later and ask him why he had become like this.

But when he thought of the little brother who used to be even more sensible than himself, Su Chen felt that this change was most likely of his own volition.

He must have been able to weigh the pros and cons.

Su Chen had heard about this kind of change before.

It could be due to surgery or taking pills, but the premise was to suppress the effect of the Phantom Soul.

That meant if Su Xuan was really willing to go far down that path, he was destined not to become a warrior, not to cultivate.

But Su Chen had sensed that Su Xuan’s strength was actually not low.

For someone of that age, to be able to reach the level of Controlling Energons was already one in ten thousand.

Even he himself, back then, was only at the level of Controlling Energons.

That meant Su Xuan had not neglected his training.

Under the influence of Soul Essence, the effects of surgery and pills were really not significant, because they didn’t address the root cause.

As long as the yang-attribute Soul Essence was continuously released, it would be difficult for the body to become feminine.

Of course, Su Chen had also considered the possibility that Su Xuan would have grown up like that naturally, without any other factors.

But the feeling he emanated told him that he was definitely not a boy.

It wasn’t simply a matter of looking like a girl, but being a girl inside and out.

Even the memory of his coquettish behavior when he had just woken up supported this conclusion.

So, what else could have caused his little brother to become like that?

Su Chen, who was running on the road, suddenly recalled a detail from when he was carrying Su Xuan on his back, the sensation of their bodies touching: “Soul Essence… there seems to be yin-attribute Soul Essence…”

Suddenly, Su Chen seemed to have thought of something.

Could it be that his little brother was actually his little sister?

Due to some special accident, his physiological structure looked like a boy’s, but because in the order of information received by the cells, Soul Essence had a higher priority than hormones, so after reaching high school and awakening his Phantom Soul, he had slowly changed towards a girl?

No wonder from a girl’s perspective, Su Xuan looked so natural, without a trace of artificial modification.

If it were surgery or pills, the various conflicts would make him look very awkward, allowing one to tell at a glance that this person was actually a boy.

Suddenly, Su Chen remembered the scene from his childhood when his mother asked him if he wanted a little sister or a little brother, and the memory of the little sister suddenly turning into a little brother.

In the hospital, the diagnosis of a fetus’s gender is highly reliable.

So, could it be that his little brother was actually really his little sister?

A ripple appeared on Su Chen’s calm expression.

He couldn’t imagine that proud youth, that extraordinarily confident youth, suddenly becoming a girl one day.

Soon, the surroundings became familiar.

The scenes dormant in his memory began to revive one by one.

A familiar residential building, the light on the first floor was still on, emitting a familiar glow.

Su Chen composed himself, smiled slightly, and walked upstairs.

He took out the key stored in his inner pocket, quickly found the familiar door, and inserted the key.

And inside, Su Xuan had just turned off the shower.

His entire body was wrapped in nothing but a white bath towel as he slowly walked through the living room towards his bedroom.

At that moment, the door opened~
