"Does it hurt?"
In the deep silence of the night, a faint fish-belly white seemed to rise in the sky on the edge of the city.
In the last darkness before dawn, on the lonely balcony, an elderly man approaching his seventies squatted in front of a young child.
The elderly man's hand caressed the child's forehead as he gazed at her cheeks and asked softly.
The girl's eyes widened as she looked at her grandfather. She bit down hard on her teeth, exposing her two small incisors, her little face flushed red, but she still firmly shook her head.
He Ao saw the discomfort on his granddaughter's face, yet his hands did not cease their movement.
At this moment, he was using his Divine Sense to open up the unresponsive pathways within his granddaughter's body.
This time, the sensation of opening up Jia Xi's pathways was almost completely different from when he opened the pathways for Pete's daughter, Ennie.
