Chapter 660 First Time!

Chapter 660: First Time!

As the last customer in the queue for purchasing the cultivation arts left the store, the store turned empty except for only Lily and Aakesh being present.

ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ Aakesh then stood up from his comfortable chair and went toward the entry gate of the store while Lily continued sitting on her chair.

With a clicking sound, Aakesh closed the door of the store, announcing an end to another fruitful day for the store in these several years.

As Aakesh turned around, his face’s expressions changed, and a curious look appeared.

“Hey, system, who was that woman?” Aakesh asked the system out loud.

Lily couldn’t help but raise her ears since she didn’t know what woman Aakesh was talking about, but what made her more curious was to find out why Aakesh was interested to know about some person..

[Host, the system was unable to find anything different about the woman.]

The system knew what woman Aakesh was talking about, so the next moment, the system’s response in its usual mechanical and emotionless voice rang in the store for both Aakesh and Lily to hear.

Aakesh couldn’t help but get surprised after hearing the system’s response. When he met the woman, he could feel what the woman looked like; she was not. In fact, Aakesh had a feeling that the woman was already aware of everything going on inside the store.

Knowing about every product firsthand and still asking the store owner for the introduction wasn’t any issue-worthy subject since Aakesh had conversed with many such customers. But for the woman, her conversation with the man still rang in Aakesh’s head.

Even though Aakesh was busy selling the cultivation arts to the customer, his eyes and ears were so potent due to his power level that he had everything going inside the store’s hall in his sight and ears.

If she was already aware of the store products, why would she ask such a question, and if she didn’t know, then why did Aakesh feel she already knew it? Aakesh was confident that there was something extraordinary about that woman that he couldn’t put his hands on it.

Even though the system said it didn’t find anything different about the woman, Aakesh decided to trust his intuition than the system for the first time.

Aakesh believed the reason for the system to have such a response was due to its inability to feel emotions.

“Hey, system, was she human or not?” Aakesh suddenly asked another question.

Aakesh couldn’t find whether the woman was human or not after his feelings about the woman. But since the system had never failed to judge such things, he decided to ask it.

[Host, she was a human! Her vitals and life force were slightly deviating from what a human should have, but it wasn’t so different that it was out of the human’s range, and she could be an exception to the human race, hence your different feelings about the woman.]

The next moment, the system’s response rang in the store for Aakesh and Lily to hear.

Aakesh’s intuition, rather than turning weaker toward his feeling toward the woman, turned even stronger after hearing the system’s response.

“Who is that woman, and why are you interested in that woman?” Lily suddenly asked. She could see that Aakesh didn’t trust the system’s response which was a first for her. Even though she didn’t respect the system as she thought of the system as nothing but a tool for Aakesh to learn his past, she still knew how it was correct all the time.

Aakesh didn’t speak anything but slightly tapped on Lily’s head. The next moment, two new pieces of memory appeared in her head.

The first contained the memory of the woman’s interaction with the man standing in the queue above her.

The second memory contained Aakesh’s interaction with the woman.

“Did you feel anything from these scenes?” Aakesh suddenly asked Lily.

Lily didn’t speak right away but checked the two pieces of memories several times.

“I also feel that there is something different about the woman than it looks. She isn’t what we were seeing,” Lily replied in her childlike voice, coming to the same conclusion as Aakesh.

Lily was now a perfect hybrid between the two races of Epochal Feline and whatever race Aakesh belonged to, so her sensitivity toward the supernatural had also grown with that. It was impossible for Lily to feel anything different about the woman if she hadn’t evolved and become a perfect hybrid.

Aakesh didn’t speak anything in response to Lily and also played the same scene of his interaction with the woman in his head again and again.

Time flew by, and several seconds had passed.

Lily had now stopped thinking about the woman since she had gotten bored of checking the same piece of memory again and again and still not being able to find anything. She was hoping for Aakesh to think about the woman for some more time, and since then, she wouldn’t have to go to that training session and could directly enter the Panagea.

“Don’t think I have forgotten about the training. Let’s go!”

Lily, who was hoping for Aakesh to forget, suddenly had a hair-raising reaction after hearing what Aakesh had said. She then awkwardly turned her head toward Aakesh, only to see him looking at her with a knowing smile on his face.

Aakesh also stopped wasting his time on the woman. He was confident that things were different about the woman than they looked, but that didn’t mean he would waste all his time over it. If he found anything, then good, but if he didn’t, he would put it on the back of his head and wait for the situation to occur again. Aakesh did the same this time and decided to wait for the woman to enter the store again.

As for a dangerous situation rising due to the woman, Aakesh didn’t think about it since if he even couldn’t tell what was different about the woman, how would he be able to guess her reasons for appearing in the store?

Aakesh then looked at Lily, and Lily looked at her with an awkward expression on her face. He couldn’t help but wave his hands over her fur, making Lily move away from Aakesh with an angry face. The next moment, a light appeared in the store, and when it disappeared, the store had turned empty, devoid of any life.
