The infant lightly plucked an extremely thin, faint black thread from her hand.
The first strand...
The second...
The third...
Fine black threads were swiftly drawn out from between the infant's fingers. Winnie felt her entire body relax, as though the lingering heaviness around her had suddenly been extracted. She instantly felt incomparably lighter, and even the circulation of power within her had become much faster than before.
The last time she had felt this way had only been when she was covered by the petals of the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha!
"Big sister is so pretty. Why is there so much unpleasant aura on you?"
"That's really strange."
Muttering to herself, the infant acted like a kitten, unconcerned by Shen Yi and Winnie's astonished gazes. She casually plucked out several more threads. When the final pitch-black thread was removed, Winnie felt her whole body lighten. Then, before her, a tiny ball of black threads emitted an uncomfortable aura.
"Black Fog."
Shen Yi's gaze sharpened, and he immediately understood what the little infant had been doing.
"She stripped out the Black Fog that had become tangled in my soul aura when I fused with Yukimi."
"Originally..."
"I thought those things could no longer be changed. I had even accepted their existence within me..."
Winnie's eyes were filled with shock.
From the moment she had fortuitously fused with Shimada Yukimi, the Black Fog's corrosion had existed within her. Yet that power had originally been so minute that it was nearly impossible to detect. Unless one was at Winnie's level, one would not notice it at all. Its effects naturally went without saying. The moment a being like Winnie fused with Shimada Yukimi, that power withdrew to the utmost degree. Not only could it do nothing, but it fearfully shrank into a corner.
