"I've eaten. What are you doing?"
Chen Miao walked over with an expressionless face and asked.
"I'm studying the structure of corpses. Lately, I suddenly noticed something strange. I don't know if it means I'm about to open my Eye Aperture." Shi Manman's words brought a trace of surprise to Chen Miao's otherwise cold expression.
"Tell me. What's happening?"
Shi Manman put down her takeout and wiped her mouth before saying to Chen Miao, "Master, I've been practicing the Paper Effigy Yin-Congealing Method all this time, without slacking off a single day. Just yesterday, I suddenly noticed something."
