The natives surrounding them couldn't help but be baffled, as they witnessed Rufut's disappearance. Many quickly gathered around Jaiym, in confusion, and doubt.
"Did your #$&% just disappear?" One man asked Jaiym, while looking at the spot on the ground where Rufut was just standing on. "No way! Maybe there wasn't a da#$% there to begin with? Right?" Another replied, before Jaiym could open his mouth to answer the first question. It seemed he didn't believe there was anybody there to start with, and everything he just saw was a hallucination.
As Jaiym was surrounded by a crowd of curious natives who kept bombarding him with questions, he suddenly felt slightly awkward, due to the fact that he forgot, most of the people in this city from his understanding were mere mortals, without any real abilities of their own. From his findings, he knew that they were knowledgeable about people having various abilities, but he also knew that they themselves didn't practice any cultivation.
From what he was told before he arrived within this universe, this universe was a privately owned universe under a city within the Sval Kingdom. The city was called Yearning Peace, and its citizens often came into this universe to gather resources, before returning to the territory of the Sval kingdom.
Due to this fact, the rulers of Yearning Peace forbade cultivation to be taught within this universe, in order to preserve its natural resources, as well as heritage. From the rulers' understanding, not letting the citizens of this universe cultivate helps preserve the resources within the universe. Because if these citizens could cultivate, they'll end up using the resources within this universe for themselves.
But because of this fact, the rulers of Yearning Peace offer the humans within the universe protection from external foes that could come in and prey on them. Foes like the corpse race.
Feeling awkward he had to take over 10 minutes to gather his thoughts, while the crowd around him argued about what just occurred, completely ignoring him and his obviously awkward, blank facial expression.
After realising that they were getting nowhere trying to figure the answer for themselves due to him being silent, Jaiym cleared his throat, calmed his mind and tried to solve their curiosity, by answering the questions that they asked him earlier.
But before he could answer their questions, he suddenly felt a strong feeling of disgust and fear well up from within him.
