The two drank coffee together on the rooftop under the sunset.

And their happy times.

"You don't need to copy anyone else's happiness." Xiao Han's voice was also gentle.

"Including my other self."

The Dark Book began to tremble violently, and the pages burned madly.

"No! She's mine..."

Master Ancient One suddenly threw out his cloak of levitation, and the green light from the Eye of Agamotto firmly imprisoned the sacred book.

"It's you who should disappear, the incarnation of the underworld god Xithorn!"

Click!

With a crisp shattering sound, the Dark Book turned into ashes and dissipated.

The scarlet in Wanda's eyes quickly faded, and she collapsed to her knees, tears finally bursting out: "What have I done?"

The Ancient One turned and walked towards the portal, his white robes fluttering. "The rest is up to you, Outsider."

When the golden sparks dissipated, the scarlet realm began to collapse.

Xiao Han picked up the exhausted Wanda and took a last look at the suburban house that had returned to normal.

Wanda, wearing an apron, was touching her face in confusion, while the two children were licking the syrup off their muffins carefree.

The space rift opened again, this time it was the way home.

Chapter 130 Kara's Thoughts

Cinematic Universe—

Somewhere on the seaside

Xiao Han held the unconscious Wanda in his arms and stood on a deserted beach.

The sea breeze blows gently and the waves hit the shore.

"Turing," he said to the air.

"Buy the villa with the best view, now."

"Processing, sir." Turing's voice came from the watch.

"Transaction completed. Coordinates sent."

Almost at the same second, Xiao Han appeared in front of a pure white seaside villa.

The smart door lock recognizes the new owner's biometric signal and the door slides open silently.

Inside the villa

living room

Xiao Han gently placed Wanda on the soft sofa.

The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto her pale face, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

He held out his hand, his palm glowing with warm golden light.

The healing power flowed slowly, repairing her body and mind that were damaged by the overdraft of chaos magic.

After a few seconds, Wanda's brow relaxed and her breathing became steady.

She slowly opened her eyes, and her blurry vision gradually focused on Xiao Han.

"Where is this?" Her voice was a little hoarse.

"A newly bought villa." Xiao Han poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

"Give it to you."

Wanda pushed herself up and looked around.

There's an open kitchen, glass doors leading to a private beach, and an unopened abstract painting hanging on the living room wall.

Everything is as new as a model house.

"Thank you."

She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously stroking the wall of the cup, "I'm sorry, for my willfulness."

Xiao Han sat down opposite her: "Let the past be the past."

He snapped his fingers, and a thick ancient book appeared out of thin air.

Golden runes flow on the cover.

The Secret Code of Kamar-Taj: Revised Edition

"If you want to do anything." Xiao Han put the book on the coffee table.

"Just study magic systematically. The potential of Chaos Magic is far greater than you imagine. You'll know once you can fully control it.

It can even reshape reality, not by the curse of the Dark Book, but by your own will."

Wanda touched the spine of the book with trembling hands. The moment her fingertips touched the rune, a ray of crimson energy spontaneously coiled around it, resonating with the magic in the book.

Tears slid down silently, splashing tiny spots of light on the cover of the ancient book.

Xiao Han stood up and walked to the balcony, raising his hand to open the portal.

Golden sparks flickered, and on the other side were villas by the sea.

"Are you leaving?" Wanda asked suddenly.

"Well, there's someone waiting for me over there."

She clutched the corner of the book and said firmly, "We must treat her well."

Xiao Han turned around and smiled: "I promise."

When the portal closed, the villa fell into silence, with only the sound of waves.

Wanda took a deep breath and slowly opened the first page of the ancient book.

"The origin of magic begins with the heart, not the form."

Outside the window, the setting sun dyed the sea golden red, just like the light rekindled in her eyes.

.........

Beach House

The golden portal slowly dissipated in the center of the living room, and Xiao Han's figure appeared in the familiar space.

On the sofa, Wanda and Kara were leaning lazily against each other.

The two of them were wearing cool home shorts and tank tops, with their smooth legs resting on the coffee table.

An old movie was playing on TV, but their attention was on the TV and they didn't notice Xiao Han's arrival.

"Xiao Han!" Wanda was the first to notice him. Her eyes lit up and she jumped up from the sofa.

She rushed over barefoot, jumped on him like a koala, and wrapped her legs around his waist, "You're finally back!"

Xiao Han held her up with a smile and pecked her on the lips: "Miss me?"

"Guess." Wanda said this, but her eyes were shining with love.

Kara walked over slowly and looked at the two of them with a smile.

She handed Xiao Han a glass of iced lemonade: "Have a nice trip?"

"Not bad." Xiao Han took the cup of water, and then the three of them fell on the spacious sofa together.

Wanda curled up on his left like a cat, playing with the corner of his clothes with her fingers: "Tell me quickly, which universe are you going to save the world this time?"

Xiao Han took a sip of water and said lightly: "I fought with a big guy called Devourer of Planets, and beat up a group of gods by the way."

"The Celestial Gods?" Kara raised her eyebrows.

"The ones you were talking about last time, those cosmic gardeners?"

"Yeah, but this one deserves a beating."

Wanda burst out laughing and poked him in the chest.

"I guess you don't communicate with people properly. You always just go straight to violence."

"They started it first." Xiao Han looked innocent, causing the two women to roll their eyes at the same time.

As they talked, a faint glow appeared on his fingertips.

The red light of the reality gem and the orange light of the soul gem intertwined, and a thick ancient book slowly solidified on the coffee table.

The dark purple cover is wrapped with dark golden patterns, which is a perfect replica of the Dark God Book.

"What is this?" Kara reached out curiously, but was stopped by Xiao Han before she could touch it.

"This stuff is powerful, but you need to use it with caution."

Wanda sat up straight and stared at the book: "I can feel it, it's special."

"The Book of Darkness records the origin of chaos magic." Xiao Han turned the pages of the book, and the words on it automatically twisted into sentences that Wanda could understand.

"But don't worry, I made some improvements."

He pointed at the fragment of the Mind Gem embedded in the center of the cover. "It will protect you from darkness while preserving the power of knowledge."

Kara came closer, scanning the ancient book with her super vision.

"The energy structure above."

"More complex than any magic book we've ever seen before," Wanda replied, her finger hovering above the page, and a ray of crimson energy spontaneously resonated with the text.

Xiao Han looked at their focused profiles and said, "Study slowly, there's no rush."

Outside the window, the setting sun dyed the sea surface golden red.

The movie on TV had already come to an end, but no one cared.

Night falls

The villa became quiet after dinner, with only the sound of the sea breeze.

Xiao Han and Wanda walked towards the bedroom side by side, but stopped at the same time when passing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Through the glass, they saw Kara standing alone on the balcony.

The bright moonlight shone on her, and her dazzling golden hair was now shining with silver light.

She folded her arms, her gaze fixed on the dark sea in the distance, a rare hint of loneliness emanating from her back.

Xiao Han's super vision could clearly see her slightly furrowed brows.

"Is she like this when I'm not around?" he asked in a low voice.

Wanda looked at Kara's back, and the conversation from yesterday afternoon flashed through her mind.

Kara leaned against the kitchen island, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the coffee cup: "Sometimes I wonder if I need some family."

Wanda was chopping fruit at the time, and Blade paused: "Like?"

"Like you two, for example, you rescued me from the cage and treated me so well." Kara's voice was as light as a sigh.

..........

"You should go and rest first." Wanda suddenly said, gently pushing Xiao Han's back with her fingers.

"I'll go see her."

Xiao Han turned to look at her, and Wanda's complicated expression was reflected in his red eyes.

He understood something instantly and raised his hand to touch her cheek: "Don't force yourself."

"Not forcefully." Wanda grabbed his wrist.

"After spending so much time together, I've already gotten used to it..."

They looked at each other in silence for a moment, and finally Xiao Han lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Okay."

Watching Xiao Han's back as he walked into the bedroom, Wanda took a deep breath and pushed open the glass door to the balcony.
