Chapter 59
Smack!
The pale, almost feminine fist aimed straight for Xu Ming’s face, but he reached out and caught it mid-strike.
Slowly moving the fist out of his line of sight, Xu Ming finally got a clear look at its owner—a delicate-looking boy?
The boy wore the training uniform of the Blood Asura Battalions. His frame was slender, and he looked about thirteen years old. His eyes were striking—classic almond-shaped phoenix eyes.
Phoenix eyes were nothing like narrow, squinting eyes. They were widely regarded as one of the most beautiful eye shapes, though rare. Characterized by long, fine eyelid creases, slightly curved inner corners, and gracefully upturned outer edges, their proportion of iris to sclera was perfectly balanced. The outer corners extended naturally, exuding an air of elegance and spirit.
Compared to the innocent charm of almond eyes or the allure of peach-blossom eyes, phoenix eyes carried a distinct sense of aloofness. For women, this eye shape lent a classical, ethereal beauty—captivating when soft, yet regal and intimidating when cold, like frost.
For men, phoenix eyes suggested innate courage, righteousness, and a sharp wit. They could exude tender charm or inspire admiration from women with their natural charisma.
But this boy? Xu Ming couldn’t help but feel he looked more like a girl disguised as a boy—or perhaps a man with feminine features.
Men with such features weren’t uncommon. On Xu Ming’s previous homeworld, Azure Ocean Star, such individuals often became strikingly beautiful when dressed as women. They were sometimes referred to in the past as “pretty young masters” or, more recently, as “femboys.”
