Yu Xianya searched every inch of the living room, once, then twice...
"It's gone... It's really gone..."
The girl murmured, her face caught between sorrow and joy.
The monster that had tormented her for so many days had fled.
It had actually fled in such a sorry state.
Looking at the shattered glass all over the floor, she wanted to laugh.
But her body suddenly went limp, and she collapsed to the floor.
"Xiao Ya!"
Mother Yu hurried over to support her. "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine."
"I just... suddenly feel a little weak."
The girl spoke with a faint, breathless tremble.
She had been on guard for so many days, constantly vigilant, unable even to sleep peacefully. Both her body and mind had reached their limits.
She was truly exhausted.
Now that the tension had finally left her, she could no longer keep up the strong front she had been putting on.
She had no strength left.
"Come on, sit on the sofa."
Mother Yu and Father Yu, who had come over behind her, helped the girl from the floor to the sofa.
The girl leaned her head against Mother Yu's shoulder.
The couple looked at their daughter, their faces warm with smiles.
"Master Xiao."
Li Yan walked over to Xiao Xiao. "Will that thing come back?"
It had only run away, hadn't it?
Li Yan's question instantly drew everyone's attention.
Yu Xianya stiffened. The relief that had just begun to ease her expression was immediately replaced by a trace of terror.
Her lips turned white, devoid of color.
"I won't give it the chance."
Xiao Xiao's expression was calm, but the certainty in his voice slowly put everyone's minds at ease.
"Don't worry. Since I accepted this commission, I'll make sure the job is finished properly."
