Strive for a Future Reunion!

"Na'er, we're here."

As he spoke, Yao Xuan looked toward the beach ahead.

Since Aolai City was not a major city and hardly anyone came here to travel, its rulers had not spent lavishly on constructing an artificial beach. The area remained relatively primitive; the sand was not particularly fine and was mixed with plenty of gravel and shells.

Although this beach could not be called beautiful, the moon in the sky was exceptionally gentle. A curved crescent hung in midair, casting moonlight as white as snow. Stars dotted the heavens, dazzling beyond compare, like precious gems embedded in the canopy of the sky.

After all, this was not Earth Star, with its vast quantities of fossil fuels and industrial pollution. That was why the night sky was so brilliant. The sea breeze was also unusually fresh, accompanied by the sound of waves crashing against the shore. It was full of life and made one feel utterly refreshed.

"Mm, Brother Yao Xuan, the stars are so beautiful tonight!"

As she answered, Na'er raised her head to gaze at the starry sky and could not help but praise it.

"Yes, the night sky really is beautiful! Na'er, when we celebrate our birthdays in the future, let's come here together to watch the stars every year, all right?"

Listening to Na'er, Yao Xuan sighed as well. He clasped her soft hand and spoke.

"Come watch the stars together every year?"

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Na'er fell silent for a moment. Then she suddenly turned around and stared into his eyes. "Brother Yao Xuan, if... if one day I leave, will you miss me?"

"Of course I will. You're my little sister. If you leave, I'll definitely miss you every day. But why would Na'er leave? Let your brother stay by your side and protect you for the rest of your life, all right?"

Hearing Na'er's words, Yao Xuan became even more certain that much of her memory had already returned. He felt quietly distressed, but he still answered sincerely.

"Protect me for the rest of my life?"

At Yao Xuan's words, confusion flickered in Na'er's large purple eyes. Her little head unconsciously rested against his shoulder.

"Mm. I'll protect you for the rest of my life."

Yao Xuan nodded earnestly. No matter how difficult the road ahead might be, no matter how terrifying, cunning, or hypocritical his enemies were, he would never be afraid. He would absolutely succeed!

"Thank you, Brother! If I leave, I'll definitely miss you. Very, very much!"

At Yao Xuan's words, Na'er's eyes became misty, as though covered by a layer of watery fog. Yet a flash of resolve passed through them.

After talking at the seaside for half an hour, Na'er took the initiative to suggest going home. The two held hands as they walked back. After finishing their meditation, Yao Xuan and Na'er wished each other good night and returned to their respective rooms.

Late at night.

Yao Xuan's door silently opened, and a silver figure slipped inside without making a sound. She came to Yao Xuan's bedside. It was Na'er.

Her eyes filled with reluctance and pain, Na'er took a note from her pocket and placed it on Yao Xuan's desk, carefully weighing it down. Then, silver light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and silver scales appeared on her chest.

She extended her jade-like arm and gently brushed it. A scale suddenly slid free, round and smooth like a polished gem, yet with a faint angular edge. Na'er lightly tapped it, and countless rays of moonlight gathered into a thin silver thread. It passed through the scale and formed a necklace.

"Brother Yao Xuan, I'm sorry, but Na'er has to leave."

Na'er gently placed the necklace around Yao Xuan's neck. Then she bent down softly and kissed his forehead. A trace of determination appeared in her eyes as she twisted her arm, and a silver gate of light appeared before her.

"I'm sorry. Goodbye!"

Her eyes held both resolve and longing. Na'er gave Yao Xuan one final look, then finally stepped into the silver gate without looking back. Her figure vanished at once, and the silver gate swiftly faded away, as though it had never existed.

Outside the city.

An incomparably luxurious black Soul Guidance Sports Car, worth tens of millions of Federal Coin, had long been parked by the roadside. Na'er's figure appeared beside it.

"Young Miss, your memories have finally awakened! For two years, we were unable to find any trace of you. Have you suffered any grievances during these years? If so, every human in this city should prepare to be buried alongside you!"

A muscular, exceptionally burly middle-aged man in a brown leather jacket stepped out of the sports car. He came before Na'er and bowed respectfully before asking.

"No. I've been... doing fairly well. Let's go."

Na'er silently shook her head and entered the Soul Guidance Sports Car without emotion. The doors then closed, and the car sped away into the distance.

"Brother Yao Xuan, I'm sorry. But I really can't stay by your side any longer. I can't watch the stars with you every year anymore. I'm sorry."

Sitting in the Soul Guidance Sports Car, scenes involving Yao Xuan flashed through Na'er's mind. Thinking of all they had experienced together over the past two years, and of how she would soon leave him behind, tears could not help sliding from the corners of her eyes.

The next morning.

"Yao Xuan, Yao Xuan!"

A somewhat urgent voice woke him from his dreams.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Although he roughly knew what had happened, Yao Xuan still asked.

"This is bad. Na'er... Na'er is gone!"

Hearing Yao Xuan's question, Lin Ximeng answered urgently.

"Has Na'er already left?"

Hearing Lin Ximeng's words, Yao Xuan felt empty inside. After spending two years with Na'er, he had truly come to regard her as family, as his little sister. He wanted to protect her properly. Learning that Na'er had left, he felt both sad and lost.

However, Yao Xuan also knew that, because of Na'er's identity, she would leave him sooner or later. He also knew that he would soon reunite with Gu Yue Na. Yet by then, she would no longer be called Na'er, but Gu Yue.

Though he was somewhat disappointed, Yao Xuan did not sink into grief. He knew how powerful his future enemies would be. There was no use merely grieving over Na'er's departure. Only great strength could truly change the history of the future, avert tragedy, protect Gu Yue Na, and allow the two of them to reach a happy ending.

Therefore, strive for that future reunion!

As he thought this, Yao Xuan's determination to grow stronger swelled even further. His will became firmer, and a blazing fire to continue growing stronger burned fiercely within him.
