"Of course not!" Xing Yuan smiled, then tapped the bracelet with her finger. "Actually, there's something I forgot to tell you, Sister. Because this thing was created with my power, I can actually change its range arbitrarily.
So, all I need to do is adjust the range to a rough distance."
"You!" Qing Su Yue sighed helplessly, then asked, "But now that we're bonded, does this bracelet even matter?"
"Not at all! This way, it's equivalent to you being tied to me, unable to escape. Otherwise, with my insecurity, I wouldn't feel at ease."
Xing Yuan's reasoning was sound, and Qing Su Yue seemed to have no reason to refuse, so she nodded silently.
Xing Yuan casually drew a circle at Qing Su Yue's feet, then reminded her, "Alright, I'm going. Sister, you're not allowed to leave this circle, or I'm afraid you'll be in danger."
"Okay." Qing Su Yue felt that Xing Yuan's words made sense, and she didn't mind agreeing to such a small request. She gave Xing Yuan a firm affirmation.
Xing Yuan curved her eyebrows and leaped up. At the same time, a black cloud rose beneath her feet, and she seemed to be riding the clouds as she moved into the midst of those people.
After revealing her identity, Qing Su Yue saw from afar that Xing Yuan, with a blank expression, unleashed a palm strike that annihilated the surrounding demonic beasts. Then, she gathered divine power in her hand, which gradually formed an ancient and mysterious pattern. Immediately after, this pattern was slammed onto the formation.
In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled.
The roars of countless demonic beasts echoed through the sky and earth, but... no matter how they struggled, they couldn't break free from the formation's restraints.
Only the "demonic beasts specifically used for training" remained.
While Qing Su Yue was lost in thought, Xing Yuan had already returned to her side with a calm expression.
Xing Yuan looked at her sister, who was still immersed in the previous scene, and asked with a smile, "Sister, do you think I'm cool?"
"You are! And, although the sound was a bit chaotic, you did look very beautiful just now," Qing Su Yue exclaimed, her eyes full of admiration.
Xing Yuan wrapped her arm around Qing Su Yue's waist, gently pecked her lips, and said cheerfully, "Then, this is my reward from Sister!"
Qing Su Yue looked at her deeply, her meaning unclear, "This, is not enough yet!"
"Then..."
The unspoken words were cut short, and at that moment, love filled both their eyes.
Afterward, Qing Su Yue decided to leave Yan City. Since she knew that those demonic beasts could never be completely eradicated, and she didn't want to trouble Xing Yuan, why should she stay here? No matter how many she killed, they would never be finished.
She wanted to return to her hometown to see it, even if her hometown no longer had any familiar faces.
Perhaps out of guilt, after that incident, the Temple of Light designated this place as a key development area. Every year, they invested a lot of manpower and resources here. Over time, it had shed its previous poverty and become a prosperous city.
However... Qing Su Yue found it difficult to find anything familiar here anymore.
Qing Su Yue couldn't hide her disappointment. Her parents' bodies had been devoured by demonic beasts, and there was no custom of erecting cenotaphs here. Now, she didn't even know where to go to pay her respects.
Qing Su Yue felt immense melancholy, and a hint of fragility naturally appeared in her eyes. She had regretted her actions more than once, but there was never any medicine for regret in the world.
