CHAPTER 79 – Ling Qiuyue's Wish Comes True
Ling Qiuyue entered the lounge moments later, glowing, serene, and truly free from the binding script.
She looked profoundly different, too.
Not the perfect, overly soft heroine fate equipped.
Not the girl bound to Shen Yichen's story, forever equipped.
But her own person, her identity finally fully equipped.
"Xiao Xi," she said with a bright smile, "you look well, your power finally tipped."
Xiao Xi hugged her impulsively, a gesture she hadn't dared to commit.
Ling giggled softly, returning the embrace, the weight of the old world shipped.
"I've been waiting to see you," Ling said, feeling the new world deeply knit.

Ling's eyes sparkled with newfound purpose, her future fully equipped.
