That "my darling" was uttered by Chu Liyue in a completely unconscious state.
True heartbreak is destroying what you cherish most right before your eyes.
There was no resentment at having exhausted all one's efforts only to have them come to naught, no bitterness at the urge to kill Aisie Hall, and no consideration of how to end things.
When Aisie Hall swung her longsword straight at Xiao Wujie, she couldn't stop her in time. All that remained in her heart was the most primal fear, which instantly destroyed all her reason.
Losing him was the greatest fear that could utterly destroy her.
That "my darling" etched into her soul, she cried out with unprecedented intensity and heart-wrenching pain.
Intricate silver symbols appeared on the back of her snow-white neck, and dazzling silver light flashed out.
In an instant, the evil purple longsword melted into specks of light, which scattered and dissipated.
It wasn't dazzling; rather, it seemed untouched by the grime of the world. Gentle as water, it spread in an incredible way, softly enveloping the surrounding air and brightening everything.
The silver light was as bright as the radiance of a full moon, holy and pure, untouched by any dust or impurity.
Its gentle, watery light spread out and softly fell upon Chu Liyue, Lu Zhufeng, and Lin Qingyi, each ray of light seeming to carry the warmth of life, bestowing upon them boundless vitality.
Especially Chu Liyue, when the silver light fell on her, it felt inexplicably close and entwined, even giving her the illusion of holding Xiao Wujie in her arms.
A shrill scream rang out, and the moment the silver light touched Aisie Hall, it rapidly compressed and dissolved the purple light surrounding her, continuously surging into her body.
Fine cracks began to appear on Aisie Hall's body. Her pupils widened in disbelief: "How...is this possible?"
Where the silvery light converged, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged.
It looked exactly like Xiao Wujie lying on the operating table, with its eyes tightly closed.
The moment the eyes opened, it wasn't cold and empty, but rather a vibrant and human-like presence.
Xiao Wujie turned his gaze to Chu Liyue, his eyes overflowing with genuine affection, and softly called out, "Sister."
In a flash of light, he appeared in front of Chu Liyue and snuggled into her arms.
Chu Liyue instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist, but found nothing; her hand passed through his body, which was interwoven with light, without any obstruction.
Her gaze faltered slightly as she looked at Xiao Wujie before her. Even though she couldn't grasp him, she could sense that the person in front of her was him.
Xiao Wujie lifted his head from her arms and said, "Sister, it's me."
Even though she missed, Chu Liyue still raised her finger to touch his face. With a flicker in her eyes, she asked, "Is this your special ability? Has your special ability been restored long ago?"
Xiao Wujie hugged her waist and nodded obediently.
"Yes, this is a special technique I hid on my sister, in which I planted a wisp of my consciousness."
"It only triggers when my sister calls me 'my sweetheart' when she's under a lot of stress."
When did Xiao Wujie regain his supernatural abilities?
In fact, the moment he obtained the top-grade Jade Heart Stone, his supernatural abilities had already shown signs of recovery.
The effect of the Jade Heart Stone is to nourish the spirit. As his spirit gradually became richer, his supernatural abilities began to recover little by little.
His reason for not saying it was to lure Aisie Hall into a trap.
He was about to have surgery and his health was extremely poor. Even if his supernatural abilities were fully restored, he would not be able to chase her to the ends of the earth and eliminate her.
So when Chu Liyue left the capital to retrieve the Three Lifetimes Flower, he deliberately lured Aisie Hall to kill him.
Even when he was lying on the ground in the rain, his life hanging by a thread, he did not reveal his supernatural abilities, just so that Aisie Hall would believe that his supernatural abilities were exhausted and that he was powerless to resist.
Aisy Hall was ruthless and cunning. He tested him again when he could only hear. Even though he was in great pain and felt himself falling into darkness, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it down. He had been waiting for this moment.
He anticipated that Aisie Hall would make a move during his surgery, but he lost all five senses during the operation and fell into a coma. Recovering his supernatural powers would be useless, so he left a supernatural power on Chu Liyue beforehand.
【Extraordinary Skill: The Highest Good is Like Water】
With the most sincere intentions of the practitioner, one can continuously accumulate enough powerful energy to ward off evil and disaster for the recipient, and protect them.
When he is awake, he can manipulate and control things at will, but when he loses all five senses and is in a coma, he can only be triggered by other conditions.
After much deliberation, he set the trigger condition to Chu Liyue calling him "baby" when she was in a state of high tension.
Aisie Hall will definitely come, and Chu Liyue will definitely be prepared. If Chu Liyue can successfully stop Aisie Hall, his strange technique will be insignificant.
However, if something unexpected happens, Chu Liyue will lose control of her emotions and call him "darling." There are only two possibilities: either she can't stop Aisie Hall and his life is hanging by a thread, or he is killed by Aisie Hall.
He was alive, and that energy was triggered; that was his winning move in killing Aisie Hall.
He died, and this energy, driven by the consciousness he independently cultivated, erased all memories of him from Chu Liyue's mind.
He longed for his sister to be with him forever, for her to live a life of great promise.
He can go to the icy hell alone.
Because this extraordinary technique cannot be mastered overnight, it requires the practitioner to devote a great deal of mental energy and inject a large amount of energy into it. He was worried that Chu Liyue would panic and call him "baby" when he was unconscious due to illness, so he always emphasized that Chu Liyue should not call him "baby" easily.
"My darling" is the name she calls him most deeply. In moments when she loses control of her emotions, he is sure that she will call him "my darling".
"Sister, I want to hear you call me 'my darling' now."
"And I didn't mean to hide it from you, sister, otherwise this old witch wouldn't have taken the bait. Sister... don't be angry with me, okay?"
Having confirmed that his surgery was successful and that he was still alive, Xiao Wujie's eyes lit up with joy, and he cuddled softly with Chu Liyue.
The heart that had been floating in mid-air finally landed on the ground. Chu Liyue's eyes were filled with tenderness and affection as she coaxed him in a low, gentle voice:
"My sweet baby."
"Your sister called, so be good and deal with the immediate problem first."
After she finished speaking, both she and Xiao Wujie's eyes turned icy cold.
Xiao Wujie, in particular, glanced at Lu Zhufeng, who was still unconscious despite being treated by his special technique, as well as Lin Qingyi and Ye Jinyu, whose eyes were trembling as they looked at him.
His gaze toward Aisie Hall was filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, Aisie Hall's entire body was covered in silver cracks, and his bloodshot pupils stared at Xiao Wujie.
She wanted to speak, but Xiao Wujie silenced her, as he didn't want to hear her voice.
He and the person before him were locked in a life-or-death struggle; there was no need for further words.
The root of all evil should be put to rest today.
He nestled into Chu Liyue's arms and whispered, "Sister, we will always fight side by side."
In an instant, his figure transformed into points of light, wrapping around Chu Liyue. As Chu Liyue raised her hand, silver light shot out like threads, instantly piercing through and annihilating Aisie Hall's body.
It flew out of the window and into the sky covered with eerie purple clouds.
In an instant.
Thousands of rays of sunlight poured down.
