Sisi, whose original name is Wang Sina, gazed at the small translucent pill in her hand, her mind filled with hesitation. "Should I really eat it?" she wondered, her brow furrowing as doubt crept in.
For a moment, she considered the possibility of it being a trap laid by the female Douluo, but she quickly dismissed the thought. "What tricks would someone like her need to defeat me? I'm just an ant in front of her power," she muttered, shaking her head at her own paranoia. Steeling herself, she placed the pill in her mouth.
The moment the pill touched her tongue, it melted instantly, spreading a searing sensation throughout her body. The translucent exterior dissolved into a radiant light, and the green flames erupted, engulfing her in a fiery aura. A sharp, unbearable pain struck her as her veins felt like they were being burned and reforged. Her body radiated immense heat as the refining process began.
"Damn it, is this the kind of pain Yuan endured?" she thought, gritting her teeth, sweat pouring down her face as she dropped to her knees. Clutching her chest, she remembered Yuan's words: The longer you endure the pain, the better the results.
"I have to endure this. I have to!" she resolved, her determination burning as fiercely as the flames within her.
However, saying it and doing it were two entirely different things. By the time she reached the sixth Nirvana cycle of the refining process, the pain became unbearable. Her body couldn't take it any longer, and she collapsed, unconscious.
Despite this, the refining process wasn't over. The residual energy from the pill continued to work within her, healing and strengthening her as her bloodline was purified. Unlike Yuan, who could only recover after a day, her more advanced cultivation and Spirit Grandmaster level allowed her to recover rapidly.
Just three hours later, her eyes fluttered open. Her body, while still tingling from the remnants of pain, felt fundamentally transformed. Her martial spirit pulsed with newfound power, and a faint, golden aura emanated from her skin. As she sat up, she whispered, "So this is what it feels like to have your bloodline awakened…"
Wang Sina summoned her martial spirit, expecting the usual Flaming Red Sparrow. Instead, a majestic bird bathed in golden flames emerged, its presence radiating power.
"Golden Sun Phoenix!!" she exclaimed, realizing her martial spirit had evolved. The sight left her in awe as she felt strength surging through her veins. "This… is a martial spirit evolution. It's so powerful," she whispered, marveling at the newfound energy coursing through her.
Her gaze shifted to her spirit rings, which had transformed as well. The once vibrant colors were now replaced by pure, resplendent hues. One of the rings had even shifted to a dark shade, teetering on the verge of becoming a black spirit ring, a sign of its immense strength.
"Yuan... just who are you?" Wang Sina muttered, her voice filled with curiosity and reverence. Exhausted yet brimming with power, she collapsed onto her bed. But even as she lay there, her determination grew. "This isn't just a chance... No, it's a turning point," she thought, gripping her fist tightly.
Her eyes glinted with resolve. "Reaching Titled Douluo won't just be a dream anymore," she declared, recalling the miraculous effects of the pill Yuan had given her. "Since I've been selected as his maid, I'll be the best one he could ever have."
Glancing at her now radiant figure, Wang Sina noted another significant change—her spirit rank. She had advanced to level 30. Excitement bubbled within her as she muttered, "I should ask Grandmaster Ma to help me find my next spirit ring."
With that, she made her way to Yuan's room, her heart swelling with gratitude and loyalty. She entered quietly, sliding into his bed to avoid waking him. Wrapping her arms around him, she pulled him close, her affectionate smile glowing in the moonlight.
"Young Master... please take care of me from now on. Giggle, giggle~~" she murmured softly, resting his face against her warm chest. She soon drifted into peaceful sleep, unaware of the subtle changes that had made her beauty even more enchanting. Her glowing golden body, radiant hair, and delicate features now exuded an aura of divinity, drawing attention to the intricate markings that graced her arms and legs like delicate lace.

The next morning, Yuan stirred awake, his vision slightly blurry as he adjusted to the light. As his eyes cleared, he was greeted by an unexpected sight—two soft, warm mounds resting in front of him. Raising his brows, he blinked, his mind racing.
"Whose are these?!" he wondered, confusion setting in. His thoughts drifted to Bai Xiuxiu. "But hers aren't this... big," he pondered before his gaze shifted upwards, finally taking in the face of the woman in front of him.
"Who is she?" Yuan questioned internally, his thoughts interrupted as the woman stirred. Sisi opened her eyes, smiling warmly as she greeted him, "Good morning, Young Master."
Still baffled, Yuan asked, "Who... who are you?"
Sisi's smile widened, clearly amused by his confusion. "Hm? Have you already forgotten? It's me, Sisi," she said casually.
Yuan's face hardened as he stared at her. "Stop joking. Who really are you?" His tone carried suspicion, and he leaned closer to inspect her, trying to figure out if this was some trick.
"It's really me," Sisi said with a smile, brushing her hair aside. "After eating the pill, I transformed into this."
Yuan took another careful look at her and finally nodded. "Yes, now that I look at you, you do resemble your old self. But... you're even more beautiful now," he said honestly.
Sisi's cheeks flushed slightly as she giggled. "It's all thanks to you, Young Master," she said, pulling him into a hug, her warmth almost overwhelming.
She leaned in close, her breath tickling his ear as she whispered, "Young Master, right now, you're still young, but once you grow up, you can order me to do anything you want."
Yuan blinked, momentarily caught off guard by her tone. With a faint smile, he responded, "Sure. And... I wouldn't mind embracing you fully in the future." His tone was light, but his words carried a subtle sincerity.
Sisi chuckled softly, sitting up. "Alright, Young Master. Let's go and get your first spirit ring," she said, stretching as she stood up.
"No, not right now," Yuan replied as he sat back, shaking his head.
"Why not?" Sisi asked curiously, tilting her head.
"I want to train my body first," Yuan explained. "The strength of spirit rings, especially higher-level ones, depends on your physical strength. If I want to absorb a 9,999-year ring in the future, I need to make my body as strong as possible."
"that is the limit I can safely absorb as after that, the rings are accompanied by Spiritual attacks"
Sisi nodded thoughtfully. "That's true. So, how are you planning to train, Young Master?"
Yuan smiled slightly. "My master left me a cultivation technique designed for body refinement. It's something even you can use," he said, reaching for a scroll.
"What is it called?" Sisi asked, intrigued.
"It's called the Celestial Tyrant Body Art. It's a dual-purpose technique, tailored for both men and women. That's why it has 'Celestial' in its name," Yuan explained. "It doesn't just strengthen the body—it also enhances one's natural beauty."
Sisi's eyes sparkled with interest. "Women love beauty, and I'm no exception," she said with a grin. "Alright, Young Master. Teach me this technique!"
