An Xiaotong slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the gentle light brown in her pupils had completely faded, replaced by a pair of crystalline, translucent Golden Eyes!
A gleam of molten gold swirled within her eyes, carrying a sharpness that pierced through all things and tore through the thick night.
The Golden Eyes looked toward the sky above the Steel Brotherhood, and scenes invisible to ordinary people came clearly into view.
Black despair like thick ink, heavy as layers of burial shrouds, blanketed the entire city.
An Xiaotong's gaze sharpened, and her expression turned solemn. She saw the black mist churning and winding, carrying countless oppressive, sunken negative emotions as it imprisoned the city beneath a deathly, gloomy pall.
"Is this... despair?"
Bai Ye was somewhat surprised. "You can see despair? Thought Eye can do that too?"
Damn it, useless Big Eyeball!
Comparison kills people, and the contrast between the Divine Nine Eyes was even worse.
An Xiaotong shook her head heavily. "I can't see despair. It's the perception brought by Thought Eye that lets me feel the tangible despair shrouding the Steel Brotherhood."

Bai Ye suddenly recalled his birthday on August 26, when he had used his birthday gift to awaken An Xiaotong's positive thoughts and dispel her Baleful Qi.

"Follow me." An Xiaotong moved. With a light tap of her toes against the ground, she leaped onto the roof as gracefully as a swallow.
Her black-coated figure darted across the rooftops like a fleeting shadow. Her steps over the tiles were nearly soundless, with only the faint whistle of her clothes cutting through the air mingling with the night wind.
Her Golden Eyes
