"Your Fly is Open"
(Yu An Xue's Perspective)
When I returned to the real world, Sathona was already there. She then, to my surprise, bowed down.
"I have lost. I surrender."
With these brisk words, she walked off the stage.
Master Violet… thank you.
"By forfeit, the winner is Yu An Xue!" the announcer declared as I turned around and began heading back as well.
The audience cheered for me — in their eyes, I had beaten Sathona at her own game, after being dragged into the Void. Unfortunately… that was not the case. Violet had definitely told her to just surrender to me.
I felt unsatisfied, but a win was a win. According to Xuan Kai… in a battle, the process didn't matter. Only the results.
