"Yunli, I'm coming in."
"Mm, come on in."
Mo Xin pushed the door open. Besides the familiar Yunli, she also noticed a woman sitting opposite her.
'What a beautiful sister!'
Mo Xin's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but marvel inwardly. This lady was on an entirely different level compared to herself and Yunli. Her profound strength was only inferior to Sister Acheron's, and her full figure was like a ripe peach, exuding an alluring fragrance.
However, considering the location, there was a high probability that she was an Ability User. Thus, Mo Xin asked with a nervous expression:
"Sorry, are you two discussing something? Do I need to step out for a moment?"
"What are you afraid of with me here? Hurry up and come over."
Yunli didn't care about the formalities and directly beckoned Mo Xin over. After all, she had come this time specifically for Mo Xin. Without her, she really wouldn't feel at ease with Mo Xin's silly and naive appearance.
Seeing that Yan Xi didn't voice any objection, Mo Xin walked over slowly and sat down beside Yunli. Yunli's delicate nose twitched slightly, immediately catching a sweet scent. Her gaze unconsciously drifted toward the bag in Mo Xin's hand.
Yunli (๑•. •๑): 'It's the smell of skewers~'
Noticing Yunli's suddenly flushing cheeks, Mo Xin still felt a bit nervous, but the corners of her mouth quietly curled up.
'I guessed right! Yunli really does love candied hawthorn!'
"Ahem, you must be Miss Mo Xin. Relax, there's no need to be so restrained."
Yan Xi, who mistakenly thought the girl was just a bit nervous, cleared her throat. At the same time, she warmly poured a cup of tea for both of them.
"Yeah, she's right, there's nothing to be nervous about."
Yunli naturally picked up a cup of tea and took an elegant sip. However, her gaze remained fixed on Mo Xin's hand. Seeing that the atmosphere seemed quite relaxed, Mo Xin also relaxed a bit. She smiled and took out a stick of candied hawthorn, holding it out in front of Yunli.
"Don't just drink tea, have something sweet."
Yunli glanced at it casually, then "very reluctantly" took the candied hawthorn. "Hmph, since you're being so kind, I'll take it."
With that, Yunli took a small bite.
Yunli (๑＞＜๑): Oishii~
Yan Xi elegantly took a sip of tea, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Yunli's slightly narrowed almond eyes and the sweet dimples at the corners of her mouth. The joy in her heart spread like ripples, almost overflowing.
Yan Xi (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄): Kawaii~
Such a cute scene almost made Yan Xi doubt all her previous speculations. She tried her best to maintain her composure while quietly taking note of this point... Now, things were back on track.
Due to Mo Xin's sudden arrival, the few of them performed another round of self-introductions. Mo Xin was also surprised to learn that this beautiful woman was actually the Director of the Supernatural Ability Bureau, as well as her Supernatural Ability! She couldn't help but secretly size up the other party.
'She's a pretty sister, but for a figure like a Director, shouldn't she be the kind of high-status existence according to a typical plot? Why does it feel like this sister's Supernatural Ability is quite ordinary?'
However, Mo Xin only dared to complain in her heart.
"Yunli, a Sword Hunter from the Xianzhou 'Zhuming'."
Following Yunli's self-introduction, Mo Xin also learned about Yunli's status as a so-called Otherworlder. Her eyes widened, and she looked down at Yunli with utter disbelief.
"Oh my god! Yunli, you're actually a Transmigrator—no, according to what you said, you're an alien! That's just too amazing!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Listen to what you're saying, you're making me sound like a monster."
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I was just too curious."
That being said, Mo Xin's mind inexplicably recalled the scene of Yunli unleashing her ultimate without any frame delay.
Mo Xin: 'In a sense, Yunli, you really have stopped being human.'
After it was Mo Xin's turn to introduce herself, Yan Xi also learned that the other girl had only awakened her Supernatural Ability not long ago. She frowned inwardly, thinking that her speculation had been further confirmed. At the same time, she was very glad she hadn't come into conflict with Yunli earlier.
Just then, Yunli put down the candied hawthorn and asked seriously:
"Regarding new Ability Users like Mo Xin, how do you usually handle them?"
Hearing this, Mo Xin could not help but feel a warmth in her heart. Being somewhat good at reading the room, she had already noticed that Yan Xi seemed to treat Yunli with great respect during this exchange. To be more precise, Director Yan seemed very wary of Yunli.
But on second thought, it seemed it should be this way. Over the past few days, she had also come across information about the "Celestial Phenomenon." Even with her own super intelligence, Mo Xin found it truly difficult to imagine what kind of magnificent sight it would be to possess strength surpassing Yunli's.
As for Yan Xi, she didn't think too much of it and gave an honest explanation.
"For most, we just need to understand the details of their Supernatural Ability and keep a registration record. For a few Ability Users, we will try to extend an invitation, asking if they would like to join the Ability Bureau—like the squad members you met before."
After that, Yan Xi also explained the information regarding the mystic realms to Mo Xin. After learning about this series of information that defied common sense, Mo Xin didn't know how many times she had been shocked. However, as a modern college student, she quickly accepted it all. After all, she had now awakened a skill and had a big shot like Yunli as her best friend; it wouldn't be too much to aim for a female lead supporting role in the future, right?
"By the way, I haven't asked what Supernatural Ability Miss Mo Xin has awakened. Do you mind telling us?"
Actually, the normal process almost didn't allow for concealment, otherwise, letting them roam free could easily cause trouble. But who told this girl to have a little loli big shot protecting her right after awakening? Compared to Sparkle's unpredictability, this one was a direct numerical suppression. Yan Xi could boldly complain that she, as a Director, had never been so aggrieved.
And Mo Xin, who was well-read in novels, was hesitating whether to confess when she suddenly felt a pain in her head. Yunli, with the candied hawthorn in her mouth, complained speechlessly:
"You don't even understand your own Supernatural Ability right now, so what are you afraid of exposing?"
"Oh, right!" Mo Xin's movement stiffened, then she clenched her right hand into a fist and slammed it into her left palm, saying with a look of sudden realization.
Yan Xi T_T: Why does it feel like this child isn't very bright.
"It seems my Supernatural Ability is teleportation."
"Are you sure?"
"Probably, but doesn't your Ability Bureau have those devices to detect Supernatural Abilities? Like some Talent Awakening Stone, or some Detection Array..."
"Stop, stop, stop. First, although Supernatural Abilities have appeared for over a hundred years, except for the growth in numbers in recent years, early examples were extremely rare, so our research on them isn't actually that deep. Otherwise, we wouldn't hide related matters from the public. Secondly, the kind of stuff you mention from novels simply can't exist in reality, right?"
Yan Xi's eyelids twitched as she listened to the girl talk on and on, and she hurriedly explained. After Mo Xin finished listening, she instead pointed at the other party in confusion.
"Then how did you, Director Yan, know your Supernatural Ability is called 'True Words'?"
It so happened that this question was also something Yunli was interested in. To this, Yan Xi's explanation was also very simple. She shrugged and spoke:
"That? Registered Supernatural Abilities are all named by the users themselves. Sister, if you like, you can also give it a slightly chuunibyou name. After all, Supernatural Abilities like 'Burning Heaven Brother', 'Blue Silver Entwinement', 'Great Desolate Imprisoning Sky Finger', and 'Dark Fairy Transformation' seem to be recorded quite a bit in the archives."
As she finished, Yan Xi's slender index finger gently pressed against her slightly parted lips, her charming face showing an expression of serious thought.
Yunli (●—●): That casual?
Mo Xin (#ﾟДﾟ): Then there's really no need for that.
