Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Breakthrough to Saint Realm, Physical Defect! (Seeking Follow-up Readings)

Deep within the cave, there was a clear deep pool with a comfortable temperature and a refreshing breeze.

The clear pool bubbled softly, filled with a thick Origin Energy of the Devouring Attribute—in other words, Attribute Origin Power.

Unlike Rule Power Origin, this was pure energy origin, ideal for Quasi-Saints forming an Attribute Body.

Ziran broke through at this moment, a perfect alignment of timing, location, and people.

Xiao Ye and Yun Bing walked beside the deep pool, gazing at the massive amount of origin energy droplets. They were truly amazed.

*This stuff was naturally formed, incredibly rare and precious.*

"This cave had a unique magnetic field, which subtly connected to Devouring-type rules. Over countless years, the water in this pool became affected and started to change—slowly turning drop by drop into Devouring Attribute Origin Energy,"

"According to my estimates, this pool had probably existed for over ten thousand years," Tang Hao analyzed, transmitting his voice.

Xiao Ye nodded and spoke up, "Sister Ziran, you just go ahead and break through. Leave the protector business to us."

Yun Bing chimed in, "Xiao Ye, you take Senior Tang out and protect us from the outside. I’ll stay inside the cave and guard things here."

Ziran had already taken off her shoes and white socks, revealing her delicate pale feet, and was just about to undress.

"Hey, Xiao Ye, you two guys head outside. You gonna stay and watch me take a bath or what?"

Xiao Ye shrugged, pulled out a Quasi-Saint Realm jar of Enlightenment Tea from the System Space, opened the jar, took out two leaves, and tossed them into the deep pool, laughing, "With this stuff, I guarantee your breakthrough will go smoothly."

Ziran was stunned, "You want me to drink my own bathwater?"

Xiao Ye walked outside, saying, "You don’t have to actually drink it, you know—just let your skin absorb it. Of course, if you wanna drink it, be my guest."

*After a while, only Yun Bing and Ziran remained here.*

In front of her bestie Yun Bing, Ziran wasn’t even a bit shy. She naturally undressed—skirt, two pieces of underwear gone—turning into a dazzling stretch of bare skin, showing off her impressive figure.

Instantly, Yun Bing’s eyes were drawn in, and she exclaimed, "No wonder you’re so full of yourself—even I like what I see."

Ziran proudly lifted her chin, stretched her arms out, and spun around twice in place, "Well? Am I hot or what?"

"Are you self-harming out of shame? Feeling inferior yet?"

Yun Bing twitched her lips, "You act all huffy when people call you chubby, huh?"

She raised her foot and kicked Ziran’s perky butt. Ziran, arms flailing, stumbled and fell right into the pool, sending up a two-meter-high splash.

"Hmph, after seeing me, of course you felt inferior!"

"Alright, I’m gonna start my breakthrough. Do whatever you want."

Ziran submerged herself in the pool, leaving only her head above water, eyes closed as she began to absorb the Devouring Attribute Origin, making her final step toward an Attribute Body breakthrough.

Yun Bing squatted by the pool. The origin energy drops in the pool were crystal clear—she could easily see Ziran’s graceful silhouette reflected in the water.

*She frowned, suddenly agitated,* "Out of the four sisters, I’m the only one still stuck in the Venerable Realm. After Ziran breaks through to Saint Realm, they’ll all be Saints, and I’ll still be Venerable—just a lowly Venerable Stage Three, too."*

Time gradually passed. Three days later,

Thin Devouring Rule Power materialized in the cave, filling every corner. The closer to the deep pool, the denser the Rule Power became.

Yun Bing had backed well away from the pool, mumbling, "She broke through—seriously, that fast?"

Inside the pool, Ziran suddenly snapped open her eyes, a piercing light shooting out.

The Devouring Rule Power filling the cave surged toward the deep pool and was absorbed into Ziran’s body.

An hour later, her pure and pretty face gained a smile. "Perfect breakthrough! My realm is fully stabilized, too. That Enlightenment Tea chopped my breakthrough time down by at least a factor of ten."

With a leap, she bounded onto the shore. The motion was so forceful that her assets bounced up and down.

Yun Bing flashed in front of her, gave her a once-over, and twitched her lips. Pointing at her with fair fingers, she exclaimed, "Hold up, did you sneak some papayas while breaking through? Your figure’s obviously plumper, perkier, and more... prominent!"

Ziran looked blank. "Nope, who ate papayas?"

Then, she took out a full-length mirror from her storage ring, set it beside her, stretched her arms, and checked herself out in the mirror. In gleeful excitement, she said,

"Hehe! It really happened!"

"Now my body’s just as good as Xiaobing’s."

"It must be because of my template issue—higher realm makes the template more unstable, so the physical defects get more exaggerated. That’s why my figure’s improved... and probably..."

"Uh, probably made me even more narcissistic."

*As she spoke, a wild idea burst into Ziran’s mind.*

She decided to record everything—with a camera, she’d document her great figure in detail.

*After going back, Xiao Ye would treat her physical defects, which would shrink her figure down to normal size. Who knew how long it’d take to get back to this shape again?*

Yun Bing watched her pull out a tablet and set it midair, the camera aimed straight at Ziran.

Immediately, Yun Bing twitched her lips and said, "Ziran, you pervert, you’re not seriously gonna film nudes, are you?"

Ziran cheerfully admitted it, nodding, "Exactly! This is probably my peak form. It’ll be gone once I get back—why not record it? I can take a stroll down memory lane later."

Yun Bing was speechless. *Remembering? Who even thinks like that?* "Whatever, film if you want. Just keep me out of the shot. I’m not used to being in someone’s home movie."

"And be careful—don’t let any guy see it, like Xiao Ye or something."

Ziran tried several angles, making sure she captured every aspect of her body. Finally, she put away the tablet, got dressed, and donned her iconic purple skirt.

Yun Bing reminded her, "You still haven’t set a screen lock password on your tablet, by the way."

Ziran said casually, "I always keep it on me—who’s gonna take it? If someone really did, password or not, wouldn’t matter. Hacking a password isn’t even that hard."

Yun Bing: ...

*She had a bad feeling someone was going to see that thing.*

After the breakthrough, Yun Bing called Xiao Ye inside.

Xiao Ye noticed Ziran’s new and improved curves and exclaimed, "Sister Ziran, looks like you didn’t even need my method—you got your wish all on your own."

Ziran rolled her eyes and said, "It won’t last more than a few days. Once we go back, you know what happens."

Xiao Ye nodded, knowing he’d have to go back and start massaging—time to fix those physical defects.

Then, Xiao Ye extended his spiritual sense to cover the whole pool, and with his Space Compression innate skill, shrunk all the pool water into a single drop-sized bead.

Yun Bing asked, confused, "What’s that for? You wanna drink Ziran’s bathwater or something?"

Ziran waved her hand, stifling a laugh, "Knock yourself out—I won’t mind."
