"Fu Yue, what will you do if I disagree?" Xu Nian looked at the person next to her with a strange expression.
Fu Yue tightened his arms around Xu Nian instantly, and said in a low voice, "Niannian, you don't want to be locked up by me."
"You're really sick. I agree to your terms." Xu Nian pushed Fu Yue away angrily.
She couldn't bring herself to kill him to end it all, and he had no intention of letting her go.
And for her to be with him in order to kill the Star Beast and for her ultimate goal, it's not impossible.
Fu Yue's eyes shone brightly, and a pleased smile appeared on his lips. "Niannian, you won't regret your choice today."
Whether she regretted it or not, Xu Nian didn't know, but she knew she had to go and deal with the remaining star beasts.
The ninth-tier star beast is dead. As long as the remaining star beasts are cleared out and the protective shield of the An base is reopened, this disaster will be completely over.
Xu Nian left without saying a word, with Fu Yue following closely behind her.
Just looking at her vibrant back view makes him unable to stop the corners of his mouth from turning up.
Xu Nian was still feeling very aggrieved, so when killing the star beasts, she was much more ruthless than before.
Every star beast that died at her hands was dismembered into eight pieces, no more, no less, and died just right.
Knowing that Xu Nian was angry, Fu Yue didn't just stand by and watch, and also started to deal with the star beasts.
He had only killed a few when Xu Nian glared at him fiercely.
Fu Yue awkwardly withdrew his hand, unsure of what he had done wrong.
"Your injuries are healed?" Xu Nian looked Fu Yue up and down. There were still bloodstains on his combat uniform, but new skin could be seen growing where he had been injured before.
Once she was sure he was alright, Xu Nian looked away while inwardly cursing herself.
Why would she care about him when she clearly hates him so much?
They really know how to make themselves uncomfortable and create problems for themselves.
Xu Nian's awkwardness was so obvious that Fu Yue saw it but didn't point it out. However, the smile in his eyes just wouldn't disappear.
Her appearance reminded him of an animal, a proud and aloof cat.
If you touch her, she'll scratch you with her claws. She has a bad temper and is difficult to get along with.
But when you're injured, she'll rush over anxiously, and once she sees you're alright, she'll walk away with a cold, haughty expression.
Beneath her aloof exterior lies a soft heart.
He was also quite shameless. Knowing that she was kind-hearted, he used this as a starting point to gradually drag her into his dark world, leaving her nowhere to escape.
Fu Yue's gaze made Xu Nian very uncomfortable. She frowned and looked at him fiercely, saying, "What are you looking at? So many star beasts are circling in front of you, do you think they don't exist?"
"These days, it's wrong to look at your own wife," Fu Yue sighed, feigning helplessness.
With a flick of his wrist, two short swords appeared in his hand. In a flash, he weaved through the remaining star beasts like a shooting star.
Wherever Fu Yue went, not a single star beast survived; they all perished.
Xu Nian stared at his cleaning speed for a moment, then joined the cleaning team.
She would never admit that she was just admiring his strength.
After half a day of clearing out the remaining star beasts, thanks to everyone's efforts, they were finally all eliminated.
The protective cover has also completed the maintenance procedure and has been restarted.
When the protective shield successfully restarted, those who were still alive cheered enthusiastically.
They won!
They survived!
They can reunite with their families!
The entire base was revitalized, and the ordinary people who had been hiding reappeared on the streets.
Some of them were moving the corpses of the star beasts, while others were sorting through the remains of the brave and fallen warriors.
The fallen soldiers are registered, and the base will provide their families with appropriate compensation and will also focus on supporting their children and families.
When Anbase won, seven of the other eight bases achieved victory, while one was permanently destroyed in the Star Beast tide.
The news was so sudden that Zhao An chose to keep it a secret in order to avoid causing a huge uproar.
The dead are dead, but the living need hope.
Anji has just defeated the Star Beast Tide, and everyone needs hope to move forward.
With hope for the future, we await a better tomorrow.
Xu Nian and Fu Yue returned to the academy, and everyone went back to their original places, which made them unable to hold back their tears.
Of the 500 students in the class, only a small fraction returned after the star beast tide.
Of the fifty mentors, only ten are still standing in the classroom.
Everyone is grieving for those who have died.
Those who are alive are all relieved that they were able to return here alive.
During the academy's memorial ceremony, Xu Nian came to the photo of her mentor, Su Xin, and silently placed the flowers in her hand on it.
The person who once said that everyone should come back alive did not return himself!
After the farewell ceremony for teachers and students, Xu Nian also faced a life choice.
The college gave her two choices.
First: Stay and serve as a mentor to train more soldiers for the base.
Second: She will go to the base guard team and become a guard captain, leading soldiers to clear out star beasts.
Xu Nian made the second choice without hesitation and went to the base guard team.
Rather than being a mentor and nurturing talent at the academy, she would much rather be on the front lines.
Her hatred for the Star Beasts made her more suited to be a pioneer.
After learning of Xu Nian's choice, Fu Yue followed her and left the academy for the base's guard team.
The team consists of ten people: Captain Xu Nian, Vice Captain Fu Yue, and eight six-star members.
Their daily task is to go out to the base to hunt star beasts.
