After eating and drinking, Fang Yuxi found a short-sleeved nightgown in the space and changed out of her white clothes. She eagerly jumped into the hot spring for a nice bath, taking a Marrow Cleansing Pill along the way to purify her marrow.

In her previous life, she had taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but she was too old at that time. Even though the pill made her healthier, improved her skin, and made her look younger, much of its medicinal efficacy was wasted.

Now, in this life, she is only six years old, which is the perfect age for taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill. It's optimal to take it before the age of eighteen to achieve the best effects. Her body wasn't in good shape in her previous life, but in this life, she intends to surpass others from the very beginning.

Whenever Fang Yuxi glanced at the stack of pills on the shelf, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Master Chengqian had been truly devoted to his wife, Fairy Qingyan. He found those pills to make her happy. He collected as many elixirs as he could get. For this marrow-cleansing pill, he refined a high-grade spiritual weapon for someone else in exchange for only fifteen marrow-cleansing pills. Not to mention the other common pills.

It's a shame that most of those elixirs are meant for cultivators. As a mortal, Fang Yuxi couldn't help but feel a sense of longing when confronted with so many elixirs with mystical properties. There were only a few elixirs that mortals could use, and the Marrow Cleansing Pill was one of the rarest and most valuable among them.

Fang Yuxi experienced excruciating pain when I took the Marrow Cleansing Pill for the first time. She was more prepared the second time, and the pain was less intense. Despite being better prepared than before, the experience still brought considerable suffering. Eventually, she found herself lying completely still on the soft couch, unable to move due to the intensity of the ordeal.

"Oh my God! I'm so hungry!" Fang Yuxi exclaimed, taken aback by the insatiable hunger that followed after taking the marrow cleansing pill.

With regained strength, she stumbled to the kitchen and found a large bowl of red-colored, fat but not greasy braised pork. She directly added white rice to the bowl. While she might have found such a meal boring before, now she just wants to eat it in big gulps.

Fang Yuxi shoveled the food into her mouth, taking large mouthfuls until her cheeks bulged. She ate it, slowly filling her stomach with each spoonful. Even after finishing a hearty bowl of rice, she was only four-quarter full. Adding a generous portion of shiitake mushrooms and chicken to her wooden bucket of rice, she finally felt satiated, though she was surprised to find that she had consumed enough food for an entire day in just one sitting.

Despite the unbearable pain of undergoing the marrow cleansing process, Fang Yuxi found the results quite remarkable. Her skin from its sallow color became fair and supple. She even noticed a slight increase in height, and her previously dry and frizzy hair became much healthier.Now, with proper nutrition during this period, she anticipated her overall appearance would continue to improve—becoming brighter, thicker, and altogether much more appealing.

After enjoying a satisfying meal and briefly admiring herself in the mirror, Fang Yuxi retreated to her bed, ready to rest. Exhausted from the day's events, her six-year-old body could no longer hold it anymore.

"Ah! Oh my god! My foot is going to break!"

Startled from her slumber, Fang Yuxi jolted awake. The shrill sound like a pig is being killed rang out in the yard, breaking the silence of the night and resounded throughout Dongsheng Village.

"Shut up! Shut up! Are you going to wake everyone up! Go away! Go away!"

As soon as Fang Yuxi opened the door, a low-pitched man's angry voice came, followed by the sound of two people leaving in a panic, and the sound of a woman gasping in pain.

Fang Yuxi walked out with the candle and was met with the sight of a bloody trap lying at her doorstep. Looking at the bright red blood, Fang Yuxi did not chase after it, but laughed happily.

She had indeed caught a significant "rat", and the effort she had put into setting up the trap paid off. Regardless of the identity of the victim, the injury would not be too light. Looking forward to dawn today, I really want to see Tang Guihua in such a miserable state.

"Oh, what's happening? Is there a thief?"

"Don't worry, Girl Xi, we are coming!"

"Hurry! Someone, come and catch the thief!"

Recognizing the cacophony as the wails of the little thief, Fang Yuxi understood that the villagers were rallying to aid in his capture.

"Xixi, are you okay? I rushed over as soon as I heard the sound. I was really afraid that something would happen to you!"

The couple from the He family who were closest to Fang Yuxi's house were the fastest to arrive. Upon seeing her door open, their hearts raced with concern, and they hastened over, fearing for Fang Yuxi's safety as she was the only one home.
