The Wenya Sword, having eaten its fill, was about to return to Xingyuan. Xingyuan quickly stopped it.
"Not clean! No touching me!"
The Wenya Sword paused, then flew away. When it returned, its blade was spotless.
This time, Xingyuan did not stop it from approaching, allowing it to enter her symbiotic space.
Having resolved the original host's grievances, Xingyuan felt a sense of melancholy. She then decided to help the male and female leads by preemptively dealing with some of the world's most malevolent and resentful anomalies, indirectly reducing trouble for her sister.
No sooner said than done! With her unparalleled abilities in this world, Xingyuan systematically eliminated the vicious anomalies mentioned in the plot.
The Anomaly Extermination Division!
Since her return, Su Yue had been out of sorts, her efficiency nowhere near what it used to be. Although the others in the Anomaly Extermination Division remained silent about her absence, a faint sadness lingered in Su Yue's heart.
Wu Yi had fallen into a coma after Xingyuan left. After an investigation, Song Ling determined that the anomaly had possessed Wu Yi before she even entered the Anomaly Extermination Division, leaving him undecided on how to proceed with her.
One day, Wu Yi, who had been in a coma for many days, finally woke up. Su Yue rushed to her side upon hearing the news. Seeing Wu Yi's wary eyes, Su Yue felt, for the first time, a profound realization that the person who had cared for her so meticulously had vanished from her world.
Su Yue bit her lip, a hint of resentment in her heart. Why did she have to leave? It would have been fine if she had stayed and been her friend!
"Who are you?" Wu Yi's voice held a forced calmness as she desperately called out to the anomaly that had possessed her earlier.
After a long silence with no response, Wu Yi realized that her deal had been fulfilled.
"Excuse me, do you know how old I am this year?" Wu Yi, wearing a hospital gown, rushed to the mirror. Seeing her still youthful face, she breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other entity hadn't used her body for too long.
After Su Yue and the others explained everything, Wu Yi finally understood the whole story. It turned out that occupying her body was for the purpose of joining the Anomaly Extermination Division! However, Wu Yi was still quite grateful to the unfamiliar anomaly. She could clearly feel the power surging within her, a strength that would have been difficult to attain through her own efforts in a lifetime.
Seeing that everyone had finished speaking and Wu Yi had a clear understanding of what had happened, Su Yue looked at Wu Yi earnestly and asked, "So, are you still willing to join the Anomaly Extermination Division?"
"Yes, of course!" Wu Yi's face lit up with a brilliant smile. Who didn't have some chuunibyo dreams in their youth? Wu Yi asked herself, she had always admired the Anomaly Extermination Division members for their潇洒 demeanor, and she had yearned to join. However, she lacked the qualifications.
Now that she met the requirements, fulfilling her childhood dream seemed like a good idea. More importantly, the Anomaly Extermination Division offered many benefits.
"But could you give me a few days? I want to go back and see my family!"
"Of course!" Su Yue nodded. Their Anomaly Extermination Division was not an unfeeling organization.
Later, they all grew through the constant pursuit of anomalies. Time could heal all wounds, but it couldn't erase them. They were merely buried deep within, waiting for the day they would break free.
Xingyuan had never truly left. She silently followed her sister, yet dared not let her discover her presence! Occasionally, when her body couldn't bear it, she would have others protect her sister while she found a hidden place to lick her wounds. Once recovered, she would return to her former self.
She watched her sister grow step by step, her demeanor becoming increasingly cold, keeping everyone who tried to approach her at bay. Xingyuan was secretly pleased.
Tian Ling had said it right! If one cannot protect someone for a lifetime, it is better not to meet them in the first place! In this life, Xingyuan's identity as an anomaly meant that getting too close to Su Yue would harm her. So, what ill intentions could Xingyuan have? She simply wished for her sister to live a long and healthy life!
Ten years later, the male and female leads finally matured. Song Ling confirmed that Lu Yuan and Yuan Li were indeed the saviors prophesied by the stone tablet. He then revealed the existence of the stone tablet and the abyss, along with the method to perfectly seal the abyss.
Upon hearing of the abyss, Su Yue involuntarily thought of what had happened that day, her heart beating a little faster. The abyss? Could she perhaps see that person one more time?
The sealing of the abyss was a monumental event, drawing the attention of the entire world! With the group overcoming numerous challenges and Xingyuan's covert assistance, they finally reached the heart of the abyss.
