Upon arriving at the abyss, Su Yue discovered that all the buildings were identical, and she could no longer find her way back to where she had been.
Su Yue's emotions were always restrained. Even though she was heartbroken, her face remained cool and indifferent, betraying no abnormality to others.
After placing the jade stone and various other items in designated spots as instructed by the stone tablet, everyone withdrew from the abyss. While Su Yue's mood was complex, the others were filled with excitement that the terrifying resurgence was nearing its end!
The moment Lu Yuan and Yuan Li completed their bond, Su Yue, after handing Hu Bing a folded note, leaped into the abyss.
Listening to the anxious shouts from behind and the sound of the abyss closing, Su Yue's heart was more resolute than ever! Since she had no family left in this world, and the terrifying resurgence was over, this world no longer needed her. She could go find that delicate young girl.
For ten years, she had searched many places but found no trace of Xing Yuan, so the abyss was her only possibility. Su Yue knew that the young girl was deliberately avoiding her, but she didn't care.
Xing Yuan was also startled by Su Yue's sudden action. She had intended to disappear completely with the abyss, but at the last moment, she wanted to see her older sister one last time and saw her jumping from above.
Xing Yuan's body reacted faster than her mind. By the time she processed what was happening, she had already caught Su Yue.
"Are you crazy?" Xing Yuan could clearly feel her own trembling heart.
"No, because I knew A'Yuan would catch me!" Su Yue smiled brilliantly, breathing in the scent that reassured her.
For some reason, Xing Yuan's anger suddenly dissipated. She looked down at her usually aloof older sister suddenly smiling tenderly, and her heart was suddenly filled.
Xing Yuan had to admit that she had developed forbidden feelings for her dignified and graceful older sister. She didn't know when it started, but she couldn't bear to see her older sister being intimate with others. Even if her older sister spoke a few more words to someone else, she would become insanely jealous.
But back then, she never dared to show it. Even when she was upset, she would only go to the back mountain to cause trouble for other spirit beasts! In front of her older sister, she always presented her purest and kindest side. Therefore, even if she accidentally revealed her true nature outside and people came to cause trouble, her older sister would always trust her unconditionally.
She still remembered how her older sister, when faced with questioning, had adamantly stated, "Our A'Yuan has always been well-behaved! Even if she did do it! It must have been you who provoked her first!"
Perhaps from that moment, she had already fallen. But whether in the past or present, she was too timid, only daring to cautiously test the waters and approach! Once she encountered danger, she would shrink back into her shell.
But one day, these emotions, forcefully suppressed by Xing Yuan, would sprout and grow like bamboo shoots after rain. At that time, what choice would she make?
But at this moment, Xing Yuan snapped out of her older sister's enchantment and wanted to send her out! However, the seal had been formed and was irreversible.
Su Yue smiled happily, watching Xing Yuan frantically examine the seal. She couldn't help but say, "Don't waste your efforts! Even if you can open the seal, I won't leave."
Xing Yuan was now truly anxious, her voice tinged with tears, "Do you know what you're saying? You're just an ordinary person, you'll die here, do you even know that?"
Su Yue continued to smile, "I know! So, shouldn't we cherish the time we have together even more?"
"Don't worry! I've already made arrangements for everything outside! Since I came, I never intended to leave!"
Xing Yuan fell silent, her eyes turning red. "But I want my older sister to live well. And, I don't deserve you doing this. We've only been together for a little over a month, and you're paying such a huge price. It's not worth it!"
"Whether it's worth it is up to me to decide!" Su Yue gently wiped away Xing Yuan's tears. "Alright! I don't have much time, show me around here! I want my future memories to be happy ones."
As if sensing her older sister's resolve, Xing Yuan no longer showed any sadness in the following period. She spent her days devising ways to make Su Yue happy.
Even though Xing Yuan constantly used her power to protect her older sister, the abyss still began to corrode Su Yue's body step by step. Su Yue grew weaker each day, her waking hours becoming shorter.
But no matter how uncomfortable she felt, Su Yue never showed it to Xing Yuan. Instead, she smiled happily every day, seemingly content with her current life.
On the final day, Su Yue smiled, gently stroked Xing Yuan's head, and left her last words: "I have no regrets!"
Then, her body began to dissipate bit by bit. The residual soul, uniquely hers, floated out and was tightly collected by Xing Yuan. She watched with her own eyes as Su Yue's body gradually turned to dust and whispered, "Older sister, don't be afraid! A'Yuan promised, wherever you go, I will accompany you! So, you must wait for me!"
Then, Xing Yuan's body also gradually turned into nothingness, leaving only a few drops of tears on the ground, the owner of which was unknown!
Meanwhile, Hu Bing opened the small note Su Yue had given her. The note was brief, stating that she had left them a letter in the safe.
From the moment she decided to go to the abyss, Su Yue had made up her mind. If she could find Xing Yuan, that would be best. If not, she didn't know if there was anything left in this world that she cared about, so she might as well take a gamble!
Fortunately, she won the gamble! Xing Yuan had never let go of her and had been silently monitoring her movements.
Wu Yi later became a leader of a generation. Even though the abyss had been sealed, there were inevitably some lingering anomalies in the world. But by the time they grew old, the world had truly achieved the vision of returning to its former beautiful society.
In her old age, looking at the world she had helped create, where everyone lived in peace and happiness, she felt immensely gratified.
Of course, with the world being so vast, it was impossible for anomalies to disappear completely. All they could do was to expel anomalies from their world as much as possible.
Later, these ghost hunters, passed down through generations, formed many sects, and the story continued.
ps: Xing Yuan's emotional transition period is complete. The next world will be filled with sweetness! The next world will be an ancient setting, with character archetypes: assassin lady vs. legitimate daughter of a noble family.
