"...Hmm, let me think."
Kong Ming'an's gaze naturally fell on the Snow Empress. The so-called measurement was, of course, observation. More completely, it was to observe and measure the Snow Empress's unique body structure.
Just by seeing the Snow Empress's body structure, Kong Ming'an had an interesting idea. Now, he needed to continue observing more deeply and fill in the framework.
Observing the Snow Empress, Kong Ming'an pondered where to start.
Options flashed through his mind, but, inexplicably, Kong Ming'an's gaze subconsciously landed on the Snow Empress's straight, slender, yet voluptuous legs... Inexplicably, Kong Ming'an blurted out:
"...Look at her legs?"
"Okay."
Faster than he realized he might have said something wrong was the Snow Empress's response.
"...Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
The Snow Empress blinked, her pure ice-blue eyes devoid of any Impurities. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze showing no unusual expression, as if she didn't find anything wrong with his request.
"..."
Kong Ming'an rarely lost his composure, but the Snow Empress naturally sat on the chair, slightly adjusting her posture to more clearly display the lines of her legs.
Gently lifting her skirt to her thigh, the Snow Empress said calmly, "Where should we start?"
"..."
Kong Ming'an silently averted his gaze, then softly sighed, quickly casting aside this inappropriate distraction and returning to his usual calm.
He had the Snow Empress sit directly on the experimental table, her fair, slender legs naturally hanging down, then gently Warp ing her toes, placing them before Kong Ming'an.
Kong Ming'an, now in his professional state, had a calm gaze. He extended his hand, palm up, signaling for the Snow Empress to place her foot on it. The Snow Empress didn't hesitate, naturally resting the sole of her foot in his palm.
Then, the next moment, a peculiar sensation came from his palm.
It was cool and delicate to the touch, warm and moist, yet strangely soft, with the unique elasticity of life.
His gaze lowered. Her ankle was slender and exquisite, the lines starting from the arch of her foot, gradually outlining upwards, revealing a perfectly balanced symmetry.
Kong Ming'an looked at the nearly perfect "artwork" in his hand, but his expression didn't change much. Silently, a faint blue light swirled in his eyes, dreamlike and illusory.
He entered "Energy perspective."
At this moment, in Kong Ming'an's eyes, the foot in his hand was no longer a form of flesh and blood, but a collection of countless complex and orderly Energy nodes and flow paths.
This was the ultimate manifestation of nature's creation.
Born of heaven and earth, naturally nurtured... In a sense, this was a manifestation of perfection.
His fingertips were covered with highly condensed and gentle mixed Energy of mental force and spirit power, like the most precise probe. He began to move extremely slowly, inch by inch, upwards from the Snow Empress's toes.
Toes, arch, ankle, calf... Kong Ming'an's eyes were serious, carefully sensing every subtle characteristic of the Snow Empress's leg's Energy structure, its flow method, and its interaction and resonance with the external Origin Qi of heaven and earth.
A complete structure began to form in his mind.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Kong Ming'an's expression remained focused and serious. All his attention was immersed in the inspiration brought by that perfect Energy structure, without any distractions or other thoughts.
As for the Snow Empress, at first she just watched Kong Ming'an's actions with some curiosity.
However, when that warm spirit power, carrying a strange sense of inclusiveness, touched her body and interacted with the ultimate ice and snow Energy within her, she trembled slightly.
The expected repulsion and conflict did not occur. Instead, it was an... indescribable tingling sensation, accompanied by a warm and comfortable feeling, spreading from where they touched.
The feeling was not unpleasant; in fact, it was quite comfortable, so much so that at first she even thought he was giving her a massage.
But after observing for a while, she dismissed that possibility. After all, the young man looked too serious; it didn't look like he was massaging at all.
So, she stopped overthinking, relaxed, and tilted her head slightly, quietly watching the young man in front of her, while also experiencing this peculiar Energy interaction within her body.
Between the two, one was fully engrossed in "research," and the other was purely experiencing a novel sensation at the Energy level.
It was an action that could be described as ambiguous and intimate, yet because of their pure intentions and unadulterated state, it appeared unusually normal, even with a strange sense of harmony.
How peculiar.
After a long while, Kong Ming'an slowly withdrew his hand and spirit power. The blue light in his eyes faded, and he fell into contemplation, beginning to organize the massive amount of sensory data he had just received.
The Snow Empress also silently withdrew her legs but did not disturb Kong Ming'an. She sat quietly to the side, picking up the book Kong Ming'an had prepared for her and began to read.
The content of this book taught her how to engrave her Spirit Ability onto a blank spirit ring. This was the first step for her to accumulate her own value, so she naturally had to study hard.
However, as she studied, her gaze would occasionally and unconsciously glance at the young man lost in thought.
Hmm... She was a little curious about what the young man was thinking at this moment.
At this moment, Kong Ming'an closed his eyes, repeatedly recalling and sensing the Snow Empress's nearly perfect Elementalization body structure. Soon, a basic model was naturally constructed.
It was known that the Snow Empress's special form of existence allowed her to receive an almost terrifying boost in the extremely cold environment of the Land of Extreme North.
So, could he draw inspiration from the Snow Empress's form of existence to undergo some degree of Elementalization modification himself? Or rather, try to actively enter... "Elementalization"?
Allowing one's body to infinitely approach a certain pure Energy form for a certain period, thereby greatly enhancing affinity and control over that elemental attribute, and to some extent, immunity ing physical attacks and lower-level Energy impacts of the same attribute... This idea suddenly popped into his mind when he saw the Snow Empress's special body structure.
And now, with the basic information obtained, he could begin his first attempt.
He acted on his thoughts immediately, Kong Ming'an's execution was at its peak.
Adjusting his state, he immediately began to mobilize his spirit power, mimicking the Energy frequency and structure he had sensed from the Snow Empress, carefully guiding his spirit power to cover his arm, attempting to temporarily transform his flesh and blood body into an elemental form.
Inside the laboratory, a silvery-white, spatial light began to emerge from beneath the skin of his arm, and its outline seemed to become somewhat blurry and indistinct.
And it was at this moment that the Snow Empress, who had been quietly reading, suddenly looked up, her ice-blue eyes instantly locking onto Kong Ming'an's arm, which was attempting Elementalization.
At this moment, she clearly felt an elemental aura, similar to hers but more nascent and artificially controlled, emanating from Kong Ming'an.
This resonance of similarity at the Energy level was infinitely stronger than the previous simple spirit power contact!
A look of "just as I thought" appeared on the Snow Empress's exquisitely beautiful face.
You still say you're not my kind!
