“She is a very important person to me.”
Ning Yu explained seriously, clarifying Shen Yiyue’s identity. Ning Xuan nodded silently upon hearing this.
Shen Yiyue felt somewhat shy hearing Ning Yu speak so formally, as if she were meeting her partner’s family for the first time, even though only Ning Yu’s sister was present.
“You’re here to warn me about those threats.”
“And to buy me some time.”
Ning Yu stated the purpose of Ning Xuan’s visit.
“And to see you again, sister.”
Ning Xuan added, which might have been one of her main goals.
“But how did you know about these things, sister?”
Ning Xuan couldn’t understand how Ning Yu knew everything about her. She had thought it would take a lot of explaining when they met again.
“And do you really trust me so much? I haven’t done anything yet.”
Ning Xuan pointed at herself.
She noticed how much Ning Yu trusted Shen Yiyue, and it seemed their relationship was even more complicated than she had imagined.
“Of course, I trust you.”
Ning Yu exchanged a glance with Shen Yiyue before locking eyes with Ning Xuan.
“You were even willing to sacrifice your life for me.”
While reviewing memories at Yue Ji’s place, Ning Yu had seen Ning Xuan in the last parallel timeline, appearing after her death.
Ning Xuan had held her lifeless body in deep sorrow, and without hesitation, she underwent some kind of transformation.
A blue liquid flowed from her eyes, evoking an inexplicable sadness.
If Ning Yu wasn’t mistaken, that might have been the final step of mechanization, completely transforming Ning Xuan’s brain, which she had originally wanted to preserve.
From then on, aside from Lacy, there was another ‘person’ who could fully mechanize, though neither she nor Lacy could truly be considered ‘human’ anymore.
After fully mechanizing herself, Ning Yu saw her mechanical wings grow brighter and wider, with the surrounding energy becoming restless.
In the final scene, Ning Yu watched as Ning Xuan resolutely charged toward Chen Xing, and then there were no more images.
However, Ning Yu could guess that even in that state, Ning Xuan would likely struggle to defeat Chen Xing head-on.
The outcome was obvious—she would probably fall under Chen Xing’s devastating attack.
“Sister…”
Ning Xuan felt that Ning Yu wasn’t unfamiliar at all; instead, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Ning Yu seemed to have already understood more than she could imagine.
“What would happen if your body were fully mechanized?”
Ning Yu looked at Ning Xuan with a serious expression, making Ning Xuan abandon her attempt to evade the question.
“I didn’t take the final step to preserve my memories. But there would likely be a tremendous surge of awakened energy, though the cost would be significant.”
Ning Xuan answered honestly, though she hadn’t reached that point herself, so she couldn’t fully explain the consequences.
But it was clear that it wasn’t a wise choice.
“In any case.”
Ning Yu took Ning Xuan’s hand and spoke firmly.
“I don’t want you to become like that, and I don’t want you to give up your life for me, even if I die.”
“Sister… I…”
Ning Xuan felt anxious upon hearing this. She valued Ning Yu more than her own life and couldn’t agree to this.
“If you can’t promise me, then I can’t continue this conversation. This is my bottom line.”
Ning Yu expressed her most important thought. She knew how much Ning Xuan cherished her, which was precisely why she didn’t want her to do this.
If she was alone in this world, then Ning Xuan must be alone too.
The two sisters had always been different from everyone else in the world.
Now that Ning Yu was no longer so lonely, Ning Xuan was still alone. How could she bear to let her stay that way?
“If you see me as an important sister, then the same goes for me.”
Ning Yu took her other hand.
“I also see you as an important sister, so I don’t want you to do such things. You understand me, don’t you?”
Ning Xuan was stunned. She had never considered her own feelings.
Looking at her expression, Ning Yu understood what she was thinking. Perhaps in her world, she had always treated her life and abilities as bargaining chips.
She only wanted to use these chips to secure Ning Yu’s happiness.
“But for me, this world would be meaningless without you, sister.”
Ning Xuan still didn’t agree with Ning Yu. Though she wasn’t sure how the conversation had reached this point, she remained steadfast in her belief.
“I can understand her.”
Shen Yiyue said to Ning Yu, which caught her off guard.
Ning Yu quickly blinked at Shen Yiyue, signaling: My dear sister, don’t make things worse!
Shen Yiyue blinked back: Silly Yu, just watch me!
This was their unique way of communicating.
“But Xuan, if you really chose that path.”
Shen Yiyue turned to Ning Xuan.
Ning Yu felt relieved upon hearing the word ‘but.’
“If Yu survived under your protection, but was left alone, wouldn’t she miss her sister?”
“Wouldn’t Yu be heartbroken?”
Listening to Shen Yiyue’s words, Ning Xuan realized she had never considered this.
“If that’s the case…”
She found Shen Yiyue’s reasoning compelling. What she truly wanted was for her sister to be happy.
But excluding herself from the equation meant forgetting that her existence was also a crucial part of Ning Yu’s happiness.
But was that really true? Could someone like her truly be a part of her sister’s happiness?
She hesitated, looking at Ning Yu, but saw her sister’s unwavering gaze, which warmed her heart.
“I promise you, sister.”
“Good.”
Ning Yu smiled and nodded, silently praising Shen Yiyue for her assist.
If they needed Ning Xuan’s power and role after this restart, then this was undoubtedly the first issue that needed to be resolved.
“Now, let’s talk about the specifics.”
Ning Yu took a deep breath and spoke to Ning Xuan:
“You know Chen Xing, right?”
Ning Xuan froze upon hearing the name but didn’t bother wondering how Ning Yu knew about it.
She nodded and said:
“She, like Lacy, is one of the most powerful right-hand figures of that person.”
“Sister, have you encountered Chen Xing? That’s unlikely…”
Ning Yu thought for a moment and decided to come clean:
“I’ve also met your angel, Lacy.”
“But I don’t know what they’re doing within your organization.”
Ning Xuan pondered for a while before beginning to explain.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
