Returning to her own room, Jean truly breathed a complete sigh of relief.
Although she really had been tickled for 24 hours, her body had actually gone numb after the first hour or so, and she couldn't feel a thing.
If it weren't for the fear of something appalling (or perhaps appealing) happening after falling asleep, Jean really would have intended to catch up on some sleep.
However, it wasn't as if she couldn't rest while awake; the high concentration of vitality in her body was constantly converting into other powers her body could synthesize, the most prominent being mental energy.
"Welcome to our home, Yelena."
"Home... Thank you."
"There's no need for thanks between us. Speaking of which..." Jean looked at herself and the travel-worn Frostnova, "Should we wash up before resting?"
Frostnova blushed and nodded.
Having received her approval, Jean grew excited. The originally large bathtub was perfectly adequate, but the liquid inside was a bit unsuitable.
Normally, using ordinary water would naturally be fine, but there were still many things that could be manipulated in this highly customizable space.
For example: replacing the ordinary water in the bathtub with water saturated with vitality.
Of course, the more advanced the energy being converted, the more matter was consumed; replacing the entire bathtub's contents cost Jean roughly 100 tons of matter.
But it was absolutely worth it, as it was of great benefit to both Frostnova and Jean herself.
Furthermore, this matter didn't just disappear after conversion; instead, it remained here and could be used repeatedly.
'Rabbit soup! Rabbit soup! Rabbit soup...'
Frostnova naturally didn't know that Jean was shouting strange slogans in her head; she simply undressed with a hint of shyness.
After everything they had been through, she could no longer view Jean simply as a member of the same sex, so she appeared somewhat hesitant at this moment.
But these actions were incredibly cute in Jean's eyes, and she barely suppressed the urge to rush over and give her a squeeze.
Before long, the two of them were standing before each other in total honesty.
Jean just took Frostnova's hand and pulled her into the water without any prior rinsing; it was pure, unadulterated rabbit soup.
Frostnova bashfully used a white towel to cover the symbols of being an Infected and the scars that had been left behind.
"Sorry, it's quite ugly, isn't it?"
"It is. Frostnova, you clearly have such smooth and tender skin; it really is a pity."
Just as Frostnova was feeling a bit down, Jean hugged her and said:
"But it doesn't matter. I will heal your pain, I will smooth your scars, and I will fill the void in your heart. You are mine, and you are the most beautiful White Rabbit."
At the same time, she gave Frostnova a light kiss on the cheek.
Hearing Jean's words, although Frostnova looked extremely shy, fortunately, she was no longer as hesitant as before.
Jean could now more openly feast her eyes; although this White Rabbit was usually bundled up tightly, her figure was actually quite good.
She was slender and firm, yet well-toned from exercise, with no extra fat—though, there really wasn't much 'extra fat' to speak of.
But considering the unique nature of her Cautus race, perhaps there was still a chance for change.
On the contrary, the term 'chubby geek girl' often used online was completely unfounded; rather, because her body had lost too much vitality, she was somewhat too thin, and Jean still preferred a more supple feel.
Because the bathtub water provided a large amount of vitality, Jean could spare the mental energy to probe Frostnova's specific condition.
While confirming every detail of her body with her hands, Jean sensed that Originium lesions in several areas were preventing the storage of vitality.
Although Jean couldn't name these parts and knew nothing of the principles behind them, this intuitive feeling could not be wrong.
After explaining the situation to Frostnova, she sent the smallest amount of Stardust Wind into her body to eliminate the Originium in those areas while infusing her own vitality to mend the deficiencies.
As expected, after this minor treatment ended, the life force within Frostnova's body began to accumulate, and at the same time, the low body temperature originating from her Originium Arts began to manifest.
To this end, Jean specifically raised the water temperature a bit more, feeling even more confident about Frostnova's treatment.
Next, after soaking for a while, it was time to wash their bodies.
Although the order was a bit different from the usual hot spring routine, she didn't care much about that given the practical needs.
After rejecting Frostnova's request to wash herself, Jean began the process of giving the White Rabbit a fragrant bath.
Throughout the process, Jean did her best to suppress her desires—not for any other reason, but because Frostnova's current body couldn't handle any exertion, so she had no choice but to endure.
However, this also proved how immense Frostnova's charm was.
A certain great man once said that white hair is a specialized weakness for Chinese people, and he certainly didn't lie to me.
Once the rinsing was finished, she wrapped Frostnova in a bath towel and carried her back to the bed.
Since she had just performed a physical examination, she had a good grasp of her measurements. Modeling them after her own style, she used her spatial ability to create a set of underwear and pajamas for Frostnova to change into.
The original clothes were taken to be washed, and she thought she should find time to go out and buy some new clothes; after all, the creations of the space could not leave, and if she went out like this, she'd be going commando in a heartbeat.
With everything prepared, Jean also climbed into bed. Having a beautiful companion and not having to keep a lonely bed was truly a great feeling.
Biting her tongue, she once again used the method of feeding blood as a goodnight kiss. Before long, the two exhausted women drifted off into dreamland.
---
The next morning, Jean still woke up very early. Feeling Frostnova's body temperature in her arms, it was already lower than room temperature. Fortunately, Jean had high ice resistance, so she didn't feel cold; instead, it was quite refreshing.
But suddenly experiencing this upon waking up was indeed a bit hard to get used to; after all, finding that the person in your arms has gone cold early in the morning is not good for the heart.
However, the drop in body temperature was a good thing for Frostnova; although her ability was still activating uncontrollably, it also proved that her body had recovered above a certain baseline and had officially moved away from the brink of death.
Relieved, Jean got up to bathe, did some simple morning exercises as usual, and then began preparing breakfast for the two of them.
This time, she didn't prepare youtiao and savory crepes, nor milk and bread; for Frostnova's sake, she specifically prepared a nutritious porridge she had searched for online.
Since she hadn't tasted the specific flavor, she couldn't manifest it directly through the space. Fortunately, Jean still recognized the ingredients, so she manifested the raw materials and made it with her own hands.
Soon, looking at the two portions of nutritious porridge that appeared before her again, Jean also generally figured out how this passive ability operated.
Just then, a rustling sound was heard; Frostnova was up.
So Jean walked over and said to her with a smile:
"Good morning, Frostnova. Welcome to a new day."
