Well, I have to admit that although this outfit wasn’t sothing Zhang Yanhang was familiar with, he was fairly familiar with her face and body. As a result, he managed to recognize who she was after a quick glance.
Right, she was the strange woman who was lying in the graveyard cultivating last night. Zhang Yanhang rembered her na seed to be ’Zhou Muxi.’ Even though Zhang Yanhang recognized her, she probably didn’t recognize him; after all, they didn’t have any interaction during their ’chance encounter’ in the graveyard.
Out of boredom, Zhang Yanhang began to carefully study her appearance. Perhaps due to her cultivation, her complexion was extrely good, giving off a delicate sensation that felt like it could break at the slightest touch. Her petite oval face featured a pair of phoenix eyes complented by willow-leaf eyebrows that were exceptionally captivating, indeed captivating.
Although he was observing her appearance, when his gaze briefly touched those eyes, Zhang Yanhang felt as if his perception was about to sink into them.
The structure of the eyeball that should have been normally detected was nowhere to be found. Those pair of phoenix eyes seed like two miniature black holes, continuously devouring the perceptions Zhang Yanhang emitted, preventing him from scanning her eyes properly.
Yesterday, Zhang Yanhang’s scan wasn’t thorough enough, so he didn’t notice these unusual eyeballs. However, now that he discovered them, he suddenly rembered an overlooked detail.
At that ti, the Yin Qi absorbed by Zhou Muxi gathered in her head. Originally, he thought that the Yin Qi was used to temper the brain, but now it seed more likely unrelated to the brain, and that the Yin Qi was probably absorbed by the eyeballs.
Since he couldn’t perceive the inside of the eyeballs, Zhang Yanhang could only try observing the external surface. This ti, it was more normal; he could see things like veins and optic nerves, but the vitreous body and lens that should have been easily detected were still completely unobservable.
This situation was quite strange, so Zhang Yanhang could only try starting from the surface of the eyeballs. In fact, he had felt that sothing was off here — it seed that the reflections in the eyes weren’t matching the actual objects they were looking at.
Although Zhou Muxi’s gaze was on the ticket machine, the pupil’s surface strangely reflected an image of a barren Desolate Continent. Sohow, upon seeing that image, Zhang Yanhang subconsciously felt that it seed to be a complete world, just in a rather undeveloped state.
While Zhang Yanhang was pondering what Skill or Talent the other party had awakened to create such a thing, he saw Zhou Muxi grab her number and directly sit down next to him.
Zhou Muxi glanced at the number in her hand, which was one hundred and thirty-three. She then looked up to see that the current number being called was only in the nineties. She imdiately reached the sa conclusion as Zhang Yanhang; they would have to wait at least half an hour.
Zhou Muxi looked around and noticed that most of the Awakeners waiting were discussing cultivation or matters related to the Ashen World with the Awakeners beside them, with very few playing with their phones.
Because it had been half a year since the Spiritual Qi Recovery, Zhou Muxi had visited the governnt service hall several tis, but she couldn’t explain how this strange atmosphere had ford.
She could only guess that perhaps it was because Awakeners usually couldn’t et other Awakeners in their surroundings, so there was a stronger desire to interact when they t in the service hall.
Of course, the most likely reason was that waiting was indeed boring. Rather than playing with phones, it might be more valuable to exchange experiences about cultivation or discuss matters related to the Ashen World with other Awakeners.
Under this odd atmosphere, Zhou Muxi couldn’t help but turn to look at an Awakener sitting beside her, dressed in a black riot uniform. She wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but she inexplicably felt that the aura emanating from this Awakener seed familiar, as if she had seen him sowhere before.
This Awakener, who looked like a riot officer, was muscular, and at least one ter ninety tall, a head taller than her. Although she couldn’t see his face, he was probably a man. Even in such a place, his posture remained straight, giving the impression of a very serious person.
People like this were often not suitable for conversation, and Zhou Muxi, slightly discouraged, looked to her left—no one there—and then to her right, only the strange male Awakener. Out of necessity, she mustered the courage to initiate a conversation.
Of course, if the attempt to engage failed, Zhou Muxi was ready to flee the scene imdiately; staying seated next to soone after a failed attempt to strike up a conversation would be awfully awkward.
Even though she couldn’t see his face or expression due to the helt with a visor he wore, Zhou Muxi could still roughly imagine his expression at this mont, which was definitely very serious and earnest.
Facing soone with whom she typically wouldn’t interact, Zhou Muxi began to carefully consider what kind of opening line would smoothly facilitate the conversation.
After much contemplation, Zhou Muxi decided to use his Profession as a conversation starter. "I rember that at the beginning of the month, the Empire had just officially ford an army of Awakeners specifically to deal with the increasingly severe problems of the Ashen World. Has the public security departnt also started to employ Awakeners recently?"
"Could it be that the situation in the city has beco unstable lately? But how co we haven’t received any news about it?"
Lost in thought, Zhang Yanhang suddenly heard a voice speaking next to him; a quick scan of the surroundings revealed no one else, so, unless there was a mistake, she was probably talking to him.
While Zhang Yanhang didn’t know why Zhou Muxi would suddenly strike up a conversation with him and even about a topic he didn’t understand, he had experience being approached; after all, the last ti he was at this sa spot, a group admin had approached him.
That previous conversation had been very beneficial for him. Although he was unaware of why Zhou Muxi also suddenly initiated a conversation, if he could exchange ideas with soone about to join a relevant departnt, he might gain so new insights.
