Chapter 849: Chapter 849 Different
In the maze and ga, she always felt terrified and restless.
At the base headquarters, however, it was much more comfortable, and ti seed to slow down.
Every morning when Bai Youwei opened her eyes, there was a hot breakfast waiting for her, followed by so reading, daydreaming, and occasionally gazing through the glass windows at the bleak streetscapes outside—an unnoticed day would pass just like that.
Of course, this was the royal treatnt.
Others at the headquarters were busier than she.
Shen Mo, for example, would spend several fixed hours in the training room each day, either training himself or helping others. According to him, it was to enhance muscle mory so that the body could react instantaneously when faced with danger, even if the brain had yet to realize it.
...
Bai Youwei asked him if she needed to train too.
Shen Mo replied that she could, but that it was not very cost-effective.
Bai Youwei was left speechless and gave up on the idea.
After idling away for several days, Fu Miaoxue suddenly ca looking for her, slamming the door loudly without any courtesy, and shouting her na:
“Bai Youwei! Bai Youwei! Are you in there? Hurry up and open the door!”
Inside, Bai Youwei’s nail polish bottle quivered, and she applied it crookedly.
She was anxious, wiping her nails on the towel on the desk and spinning them around on the table.
“Let’s finish this later.” Bai Youwei tightened the nail polish bottle cap.
Her hand was still jittery, tapping on the table loudly.
Bai Youwei remarked, “I’ll do your manicure later.”
Her index finger rose even higher, no longer tapping the table.
Bai Youwei opened the door to Fu Miaoxue, with only her and Du Lai outside.
“You’re so slow!” Fu Miaoxue complained. “Why did it take you so long to open the door?!”
“I walk slowly,” Bai Youwei replied calmly.
“So you can’t walk faster?” Fu Miaoxue glared.
“No,” Bai Youwei glanced at her expressionlessly, “What if I twist my ankle? What if I trip? What if I fall? What if I slip?”
Fu Miaoxue rolled her eyes extravagantly, “Do you need to exaggerate! Are your legs made of gold?!”
Finally, rembering the purpose of her visit, she stood straight in front of Bai Youwei and earnestly asked, “Look, do I seem different from before today?”
“Yes.” Bai Youwei said, “You can roll your eyes now.”
Fu Miaoxue was irate, “Hey! I’m serious! Can’t you take a proper look?!”
This ti it was Bai Youwei’s turn to roll her eyes, “You usually cover yourself so tightly with a black veil, how would I know what’s different about you now?”
“Look closely!” Fu Miaoxue leaned in close to Bai Youwei, “Closely… look!”
Bai Youwei frowned, scrutinizing her face carefully, and slowly, she did notice subtle changes.
“Do you have eyebrows now?” Bai Youwei was surprised, Fu Miaoxue’s eyebrows used to be like those of a BJD doll, painted on, but now, they seed to be real, legitimate ‘brows’!
“And here,” Fu Miaoxue pulled down her eyelid, showing Bai Youwei her eyeballs.
They used to be just beautiful glass-made, but now they exhibited richer, more human-like layers.
Bai Youwei understood, and turned to look at Du Lai standing next to Fu Miaoxue, “Did you go into the maze?”
“Yep,” Du Lai nodded, “Maze number four, we just ca out.”
Fu Miaoxue’s transformation was clearly a result of an upgrade from the maze.
She touched her face excitedly, pinching her arm, feeling incredibly good.
“The skin is starting to exhibit fine hairs and has beco elastic; if I go into the maze two more tis, I could certainly turn back into a human!”
Bai Youwei coolly said, “Two kings can’t enter the sa maze, if you’re here to invite , I’m sorry, I refuse.”
Fu Miaoxue grinned, “I never intended to ask you, my boyfriend and I can manage!”
“Then why did you co here all excited?” Bai Youwei expressed flatly, “I get it, you ca here to show off.”
