Kyrian looked genuinely confused, as though the question made no sense to him.
"Why would I care?" The question seemed so obvious to him that he couldn't understand why she had asked it. His tone was filled with pure confusion.
She simply stared at him, not knowing how to respond. The simplicity of his reaction was so disarming that she couldn't find the words. He truly didn't care. It wasn't a matter of politeness or courtesy, it was genuine, complete, absolute.
Before she could say anything, he continued, his violet eyes shining with genuine curiosity.
"Actually..." His gaze became more intent, more focused.
"There's something I've been wanting to ask."
She nodded, still processing what had just happened.
"Go ahead."
"With a Celestial Physique like yours..." he said calmly, without the slightest hint of haste.
"Your cultivation should be far beyond the Spiritual Awakening Realm."
He paused briefly, choosing his words carefully.
"So why are you still in this realm?"
