Seeing this, Qilin handed over the hair tie she had prepared earlier.
Taking it, Ashe gathered up her long hair and pulled it into place.
In no time, she had a neat, stylish ponytail.
She swept a few stray locks away from her striking figure, then casually brushed the hair off her forehead. Her naturally smooth strands fell into place.
No extra styling was needed.
It was an incredibly simple hairstyle, yet it made Ashe look radiant and beautiful.
It also gave her a distinctly heroic air.
Before long, everyone around her was watching.
Qilin was no exception.
Sipping her soy milk, she watched Ashe finish getting ready with such ease.
Qilin could hardly deny that her "best friend" really was incredibly handsome.
Knowing full well that Qilin was watching her, Ashe glanced at herself in the mirror. Ever since she had gained the system and transmigrated into Thor's body,
Ashe had long since ceased to be troubled by worldly concerns.
The skin problems and weight worries that plagued ordinary people
were things Ashe could only dream of having.
No matter what Ashe did, her body would only become more perfect.
Just like in Genshin Impact.
Supreme Imperial Body.
This body was the most perfect in the world. How could it have any flaws?
It was just like the angels' bodies in Super Seminary.
Both were the most perfect physiques. The angels had achieved theirs through successive improvements to their genes,
while Ashe had been born with hers.
Looking over at Qilin, Ashe asked, "Finished eating? Shall we go?"
"Mm-hmm." Qilin nodded.
She had been ready for a while.
She was only waiting for Ashe to finish so they could leave together.
They found Rose, who was staying nearby in the next room.
With Rose leading the way, the two prepared to head to a secret base belonging to Super Seminary near Juxia City.
From there, they would go to Ju Xia Hao for further Super Gene testing.
Rose didn't say much along the way.
But the way she looked at them made Qilin feel a little strange.
As for Ashe, she didn't mind at all. Before transmigrating, she had been a man, so she had never cared about things like that.
Besides, one of the conditions she had discussed with Ajie for joining Super Seminary
was that she would share a room with Rose.
Ashe hadn't been joking.
That was exactly what she had in mind.
So there was no reason for her to be the one feeling nervous.
Rose could look at her however she liked.
Sitting upright and quiet in the back seat, Ashe wasn't leaning against Qilin's shoulder as she usually did.
Instead, she had her eyes closed, silently practicing the meditation she had kept up for ten years.
It helped her earn Nurturing Points, and it also strengthened her will.
Time passed, and before they knew it,
the three of them had switched vehicles once
and arrived at the sea giant in the South China Sea, Ju Xia Hao.
"Come with me. I'll take you to the people who'll examine you."
Rose beckoned them over and led them farther inside Ju Xia Hao.
A little while later, the metal doors opened automatically.
Rose casually greeted the two women in red military uniforms inside.
"Aunt Lian Feng, Aunt Yu Qin, I brought them here! I'll leave the rest to you."
"All right." The woman called Lian Feng smiled and nodded.
But the green-haired woman beside her sounded almost like she was pouting. "Little Rose, how many times have I told you? Call me big sister!"
"Yes, Sister Yu Qin! I'll head down first, then."
Rose's voice carried a hint of helplessness as she waved.
She nodded goodbye to Qilin, then turned and walked off without so much as a glance at Ashe.
Being ignored didn't embarrass Ashe. On the contrary, she cheerfully stepped forward
and greeted Lian Feng and Yu Qin in turn.
"Hello, I'm Ashe, and this is Qilin."
"Hello, I'm Qilin," she said, joining in the greeting.
"Hello, I'm Lian Feng."
"Hello, I'm Yu Qin. You can just call me Sister Yu Qin!"
After shaking hands and getting to know one another a little,
they headed farther inside together.
Pointing to two large, capsule-shaped machines,
Lian Feng explained to Ashe and Qilin,
"These are the machines that will examine you. Just lie down inside."
"The examination will be over soon. Then we'll know your gene types and corresponding abilities."
"Oh, and you can keep your clothes on. They won't affect the results."
Lian Feng glanced at Ashe, who seemed about to take off her jacket,
and kindly reminded her.
Ashe hesitated. Should she tell Lian Feng that she only meant to take off her outer layer, and that Lian Feng had gotten the wrong idea?
She decided not to explain. After exchanging a glance with Qilin, they each lay down in a machine.
Lian Feng operated the machines, closing them around the two women. Then she noticed Yu Qin beside her comparing herself with Lian Feng, moving her arm up and down.
She seemed to be measuring something.
Lian Feng frowned.
"Yu Qin, stop fooling around. Come over here. We each get one machine."
"Okay," Yu Qin replied brightly.
Then she pondered and muttered to herself, "Mine should be bigger, right?"
She hurried over and began examining the two of them.
