A Very Important Skill! . . .
"Cha Eun Xiao, perhaps it\'s a good idea to have a discussion with you about this as well," he suggested.
"...About what?" Bing-Er mumbled, her shyness still lingering, preventing her from fully returning to her usual self.
"Can you imagine a way we could potentially put those ghosts to work for me?" Cha Eun Xiao inquired.
"Ah..." Bing-Er exclaimed once more and sought refuge in Cha Eun Xiao\'s arms, trembling. "Brother Xiao, please, don\'t bring up that topic. Not those words. Please..."
Her complexion paled once again, her pretty face etched with fear.
Cha Eun Xiao found her reaction quite amusing. [It seems she\'s truly frightened by this...]
He smiled and took note of the significance of the situation. [This may have a considerable impact on Cha Eun Xiao\'s future... Ahem... something...]
"Alright, Cha Eun Xiao will cease," he said with a roll of his eyes. "Let\'s discuss something else."
Bing-Er\'s face was marked by apprehension as she cautiously inquired, "What would you like to talk about?"
She was prepared to shield her face at a moment\'s notice, fearing the return of the ghostly topic.
Cha Eun Xiao chuckled and continued, "Bing-Er, if you possessed a skill that allowed you to..."
He intentionally halted mid-sentence.
Bing-Er\'s face drained of color once more, her eyes filled with anxiety. She avoided looking around her and wouldn\'t even dare to glance into the air nearby, convinced that she genuinely had the ability to see ghosts.
She believed Cha Eun Xiao was resuming his discussion about the ghosts.
Satisfied with the success of his prank, Cha Eun Xiao laughed and said, "Alright, never mind. If you could see through people\'s clothes, what would be the benefit?"
Bing-Er, now at ease with the change in topic, contemplated the question. "Seeing through people\'s clothing... What might that reveal? Let me think..."
As she mumbled, she furrowed her brow and became lost in thought. "Generally, if you could see through someone\'s clothes, you might discover something on them... Perhaps money, or something valuable, hidden weapons, anything concealed on their person. That could potentially be beneficial to me..."
While Bing-Er ruminated and shared her thoughts, Cha Eun Xiao was suddenly struck by inspiration, and his eyes sparkled.
"The girl\'s mind is so pure. Her thoughts are truly different from mine. What she envisions is genuinely practical. As for me, I kept fixating on something... shall we say, less virtuous..." Cha Eun Xiao couldn\'t help but acknowledge the divergence in their thinking.
"What else?" Cha Eun Xiao prodded her for more answers.
"What else could I see, aside from those?" Bing-Er pondered while playfully rolling her pretty eyes. She continued, "If I could see through someone\'s clothes, perhaps I could see through other things too... Like gauze curtains; they\'re thinner than clothes. There\'s more... I wonder if I could see through walls? Walls are certainly thicker than clothes, so it might be more challenging to see through them. Maybe it\'s impossible. But what if I could actually see through walls? Is there anything thicker than walls? The earth? Could I see things beneath the ground? Well, maybe not..."
While Bing-Er wasn\'t entirely confident in her ideas, Cha Eun Xiao\'s eyes gleamed with growing enthusiasm.
Listening to Bing-Er\'s musings, Cha Eun Xiao suddenly realized the remarkable practicality of his Yin Yang Eyes martial art.
It wasn\'t surprising that Cha Eun Xiao hadn\'t thought of many of these possibilities before. When he initially used the Yin Yang Eyes, he saw Bing-Er\'s unclothed body, which was undeniably exquisite and alluring, leading to various imaginative scenarios that lingered in a man\'s mind.
This preoccupation with "bodies" and "clothing" was understandable, as it was a common affliction for men, regardless of whether they were virgins or not.
Now, Cha Eun Xiao had expanded his horizons. He contemplated the practical applications of his newfound abilities. "If Bing-Er\'s speculations hold true, perhaps I can see hidden weapons on others and anticipate stealth attacks... This skill has the potential to be incredibly valuable."
When he pondered hidden weapons, he thought of the blades and needles secreted all over his person, which sent shivers down his spine. If he could conceal such weapons, surely his adversaries could do the same. While he may have become a superior cultivator over the course of two lifetimes, he was far from being one of the most formidable cultivators.
He wasn\'t invincible just yet.
Cha Eun Xiao couldn\'t help but imagine how his enemies would react when they encountered him, resembling a porcupine bristling with concealed weapons. He wondered how he would respond when confronted with a foe of similar capabilities.
He was certain he would be unnerved. That much was guaranteed. Yet, what if he encountered an adversary who was even more powerful, enigmatic, and cunning than himself? What then? Could he escape unscathed?
For all his self-confidence, Cha Eun Xiao couldn\'t be absolutely certain about it.
What if, however, his adversaries possessed advance knowledge of all the items concealed on his person? What if they could predict precisely how he intended to employ them? These thoughts sent shivers down his spine, a peculiar mix of anxiety and exhilaration.
In the event that such a scenario became a reality, it would render him astonishingly vulnerable to his enemies\' plans. To unravel any traps or setups devised against him was a matter of paramount importance, for it could very well dictate whether he lived or perished.
Cha Eun Xiao could easily envisage the immense advantage he would gain if he could foresee such schemes in advance. With a serious expression on his face, he nodded.
"It appears that these Yin Yang Eyes are remarkably valuable. To forsake them would be a grave mistake... Now that I\'ve accepted them, I\'ve already unlocked the power of the first level. It seems cultivation will be a straightforward journey."
He blinked and continued, "Bing-Er, please continue."
"In terms of other applications..." Bing-Er hesitated before speaking, "I don\'t know the extent of this skill\'s capabilities. However, if we were to pursue it, I wonder if it could enable me to see through the human body. If we perceive the skin as a special form of clothing that veils us... it does make sense. If it indeed allows me to peer within the human body—revealing wounds, ailments, and... other things with a single glance—well, surely, that\'s too marvelous to be true, don\'t you think?"
Cha Eun Xiao was taken aback.
"That\'s brilliant! Bing-Er is absolutely correct; it couldn\'t be more accurate. If this skill is indeed as it\'s described—\'to see through the secrets of the world\'—then it should undoubtedly enable me to perceive the inner workings of the human body. To \'see things that mortals cannot see and watch things that mortals cannot watch,\' as the description goes. It all adds up."
Should this be true, the importance of this skill surged within Cha Eun Xiao, igniting a profound sense of significance that set his heart racing.
