Lü Siya cursed in the torrential rain for quite a while.
Only then did she calm down a little.
She glanced at Meng Chao, the corners of her mouth lifting as she smiled. "Luckily, I found you again at a time like this.
"I was surprised to discover that, after Lin Chuan, you were the second person who felt absolutely nothing for me.
"Especially when we were cultivating together in that cramped Cultivation Chamber, with our cicada-wing-thin cultivation suits soaked through by Gene Serum. Back then, I thought that no matter how steadfast you were, you should at least have had some... basic reaction, as a sign of respect, right?
"But I carefully sensed the direction and speed of your blood flow, and discovered that your blood was not gathering downward in the slightest.
"That made me realize that you really had no interest in my body."
"Wait—"
Meng Chao interrupted Lü Siya. "Ya-jie, are you saying that whenever we cultivated together, you were watching to see whether the blood all over my body was gathering downward?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to. This is the suffering of being a 'Sensitive One.'"
Lü Siya sighed. "That's why I usually wear special glasses made from crystals and monster bone powder, which can dull my senses and block redundant information, making me a little slower.
"But when cultivating with you, I had to stir my Spiritual Energy to its limit. I couldn't keep wearing those shielding glasses, could I?
"Besides, in order to fine-tune my Life Magnetic Field to the same frequency as yours, I had to monitor your breathing, heartbeat, and a whole series of physiological parameters. You monitored my physiological parameters too, didn't you? I merely monitored a tiny bit extra by accident."
"That wasn't a tiny bit."
