"A sight to behold. This is nothing short of an exquisite work of art."
In the laboratory, Kong Deming's eyes brimmed with fascination.
He gently stroked the surface of the Humanoid Soul Tool, his hands trembling.
He was as careful as if he were caressing a peerless beauty.
"Who are you?"
"What are you doing?"
"Get your hands off me!"
Suddenly, an urgent voice rang out from outside the laboratory.
Kong Deming instinctively looked up and saw a handsome youth hurry inside, glaring at him angrily.
He could not help frowning.
Who did this boy think he was dealing with?
In the entire Sun Moon Empire, even His Majesty the Emperor would not dare shout at him.
Yet this youth dared to reprimand him.
Who had given him the courage of a lion and the gall of a leopard?
"Brother Qin, you're finally back. Come, let me introduce you. This is my teacher, Elder Kong, the strongest Soul Engineer in our Sun Moon Empire!"
Xuan Ziwen frantically winked and pulled faces at Qin Xiao.
He was afraid Qin Xiao would rashly offend Kong Deming.
Kong Deming?
He's Kong Deming!
Something stirred in Qin Xiao's heart.
On reflection, it made sense. If this were not Kong Deming, why would Xuan Ziwen let him touch Qin Xiao's Humanoid Soul Tool so freely?
It was just that this Humanoid Soul Tool was like his own body.
When he saw someone else touching it,
he felt as though someone were touching him.
He still instinctively felt aversion and resistance.
Of course,
Kong Deming's gender might also have had something to do with it.
If a young, beautiful woman with long legs were standing here instead, Qin Xiao might not have objected.
Ahem.
Getting a little off track.
"So you're Elder Kong. Forgive my discourtesy."
