— Previous Night —
Standing on top of the manor, Elysia watched as Xin Yan hugged Noah, or so she told herself. After all, there was no way Noah would hug Xin Yan before her.
*Crackkkkk!*
Cracks started to appear on the roof she was standing on, but when she heard and saw what happened next, all of her anger vanished in an instant.
***
"Who would have thought that I would fall in love with the person taking over my son's body, not that I regret falling for you. Noah, I want you to use my son's body tomorrow, and I also want you to create a new body for myself." Xin Yan patted Noah's cheek and spoke with conviction. There was a look of anger in her eyes, the anger was not directed at Noah but at herself.
'Hain!' Question marks appeared on Noah's face when hearing her words. 'How did she reach that conclusion from what I said.'
"~Chuckle~ Can you do that?" Seeing Noah's comical face, Xin Yan chuckled lightly and asked again.
"Can you tell me why?" he asked, trying to understand what she wanted.
"I want to devote myself to you!" Seeing Noah trying to open his mouth, she placed her hand on his mouth to stop him from speaking. "Hear me first, please! I love you the way I have never loved anyone, but there are many mistakes I have made in my life and Long Yang was one of those mistakes."
"I don't want to erase those mistakes because those mistakes are what made me what I am today, but you see, every day I look at myself in the bath, It disgusts me and suffocates me to be in a body that was touched by that man." Xin Yan's eyes looked so disgusted with herself as she looked down at her own hands. "I feel like killing myself just thinking about how much of an idiot I was!"
The more she spoke, the higher her voice got. Noah wanted to say something, but the intensity of her emotions was so overwhelming that he knew no matter what he said nothing would change her mind but herself, and she also seemed to have made her decision.
*splurt*
"Like you are any different." Elysia scoffed, making Wuhan even more embarrassed.
"Just who are you? Why did I not see you until now?" he asked.
Elysia thought for a while before answering, "If I don't want you to see me, you won't. As for who I am, that is a secret."
Before Wuhan could ask anything further, something happened; the thunder rumbling in the sky started to move around.
*RUMBLE!*
Lightning struck down straight at Noah's soul, which was being hugged by Xin Yan in her embrace with a smile on her face.
*KA-BOOM!*
What followed next was a huge explosion that annihilated Xin Yan and Long Tian's body.
"What a lucky bitch..." Elysia muttered under her breath in jealousy as a small tear escaped her eyes. Wuhan's eyes widened as he looked at the scene with a look of disbelief.
"Did... did they just... die?" Wuhan looked at Elysia and the place of Long Tian's body with disbelief and shock. Everything happened in an instant he did not even have the time to react to it properly.
"No, their bodies were obliterated, but their souls remain safe," Elysia replied before Wuhan's emotions overwhelmed him and interrupted the process. "They are making new bodies for themselves to inhabit them with their souls.

Wuhan's panic went down, and all that was left on his face was confusion.
"By any chance, do you mean 'Clothes'?" He tried to make a joke to digest the information he had just heard but seeing the disgusted coled gaze from Elysia, he stopped talking and looked at the scene in front of him.
