Chapter 575 After Waking Up

"Remember? Your soul was incomplete."

Instead of directly refuting Lin Xiyue's denial, Meros asked in a calm and gentle tone.

"Of course I remember! Isn't that precisely the purpose of our trip—to reunite my souls... Hmm? Wait a minute, could it be...?"

Lin Xiyue was slightly taken aback, but quickly came to her senses.

"What did you mean by that? Could it be... that my soul has split into two people? One stayed in this world, while the other went to Earth?"

At this point, Lin Xiyue suddenly realized something, stared wide-eyed at Molos, her face full of disbelief.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shiver.

This is utterly absurd. If what Meros said is true, then wouldn't I be living with an incomplete soul all along? Could my soul leave my body at any moment due to an accident?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyue felt a chill rise up her spine.

However, at this moment she couldn't even struggle; her body lay limp on the hospital bed, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Meros seemed to see through Lin Xiyue's thoughts and nodded slightly in agreement.

Then, he slowly bent down and carefully helped Lin Xiyue up so that she could lean against the headboard and rest for a while.

His movements were incredibly gentle, as if he were handling a precious and fragile treasure, showing great care.

Although she was still somewhat weak and powerless, Lin Xiyue quickly regained her senses and stopped thinking about those things.

"Oh my god! That's terrifying! By the way, weren't you repairing your soul before? How are you doing? Have you fully recovered?"

And her mouth didn't stop; she kept asking questions incessantly.

Meros didn't speak at first. Instead, he turned and walked to the side, gently lifting the lid of the pot. A steaming, fragrant aroma instantly filled the air.

Soon, he scooped out a bowl of his carefully prepared congee with preserved egg and lean pork from the pot.

The thick porridge had an enticing white color, topped with tender shredded meat and diced preserved eggs, making it irresistible to look at.

Moros presented the bowl to Lin Xiyue, his eyes revealing concern and tenderness, and nodded slightly to indicate whether he needed to feed her.

Looking at the bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

This was because she had casually taught Moros how to cook when she was bored, but she never expected that Moros would cook for her now.

Lin Xiyue struggled to reach out and take the bowl, but when she finally managed to raise her arm, she was helpless to find that her hand was shaking like someone with Parkinson's disease, and she was completely unable to hold the bowl steadily.

"Alright...then please feed me."

Faced with this situation, Lin Xiyue sighed helplessly and ultimately chose to give in to reality.

At that moment, hunger surged through her like a tidal wave, and she simply didn't have the strength to fight for food anymore.

[Tsk tsk tsk, at the time I didn't think it was anything serious. That energy liquid was definitely far from enough to completely repair the damaged souls of both of you in one go. Later, Boss Mo forcibly stopped and endured the pain to get up and prepare the medicine.]

Just as Meros was intently scooping up spoonfuls of hot porridge and feeding them to Lin Xiyue, a slightly disgruntled voice suddenly rang out deep within Lin Xiyue's mind—it turned out to be the system muttering to itself.

puff--

Lin Xiyue was startled when she heard the system's words.

She opened her mouth in astonishment, and before she could even react to what was happening, a mouthful of scalding hot porridge uncontrollably gushed out of her mouth, splashing everywhere.

Cough cough cough... cough cough cough—

Lin Xiyue was tormented by the violent coughing, and tears were almost streaming down her face. But she didn't bother to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She quickly reached out and patted her chest, trying to relieve the burning sensation in her throat.

You…cough cough…what…did you just say?! Cough cough…

She suppressed her discomfort and asked the system intermittently.

[The situation was incredibly dangerous! The energy solution was severely depleted; if it had been even a fraction later, you both might have perished...]

However, before the system could finish speaking, it was interrupted rudely by Meros.

"Hmph, you should know very well what you can say and what you shouldn't say, right?"

Moros stared intently at Lin Xiyue, his eyes flashing with a warning light, and spoke to the system in an icy tone.

From his sharp gaze and oppressive aura alone, the system could detect a clue—clearly, Meros already knew what the system was talking about with Lin Xiyue.

[Uh... okay, okay, I get it. Let's get back to the main topic.]

Faced with such a direct and undisguised threat, the system felt a chill run down its spine, but it could only grit its teeth and respond.

After all, under such immense pressure, it is unwise to continue dwelling on trivial details.

Therefore, the system immediately decided to skip the previous description of how dangerous the situation was and get straight to the point.

As for Lin Xiyue at this moment?

She had already choked and was coughing incessantly, her body trembling, and her eyes were red from coughing.

Meanwhile, Meros, sitting beside her, gently patted her back and comforted her, helping her catch her breath.

Therefore, although Lin Xiyue had many questions for the system, she was unable to concentrate on asking it anything at the moment.

In any case, when his energy was insufficient, Boss Mo endured the excruciating pain to stand up and concocted a new potion.

This potion contains more energy and is better suited to your constitution.

The system concisely and clearly recounts those thrilling experiences, quickly describing the actions Melos took while Lin Xiyue was in a coma.

"Ahem... So, how are you feeling right now?"

Lin Xiyue still had a slight cough, but after hearing what the system said, she reached out and tightly grasped Molos's hand without hesitation, then looked up and asked with concern.

Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that our constitutions are different, which is why you had such a strong reaction. I'm different; I had it much easier than you.

Melos spoke calmly, as if Lin Xiyue was making a fuss over nothing.
