Chapter 529 Take a break

However, out of Lin Xiyue's sight, Moros's eyes gradually became bloodshot, revealing an undisguised pain and repression.

"This was done a long time ago, before I met you, so I never thought of telling you."

Meros's voice was low and slow, each word requiring tremendous effort to utter, but he didn't show it.

His eyes were now completely covered in blood red, including the whites of his eyes, making them look extremely terrifying.

However, despite his obviously poor physical condition, his tone was unusually calm and without the slightest flaw.

He tried his best to control his physical pain and not let it affect the tone of his voice when answering questions.

Lin Xiyue couldn't see Molos's blood-red eyes, but she still subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.

"That's good. So, what's wrong with your body? Will it be resolved if your soul is retrieved? Are there any potential risks?"

She sensed something was wrong from the hand that Meros was pressing on her body, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Nevertheless, she continued to press for answers.

"Well—well..."

Meros hesitated slightly, as if considering how to answer, before slowly speaking.

Upon hearing Molos's words, Lin Xiyue's heart tightened, and she instinctively wanted to look up to see what was wrong with him.

However, just as she was about to lift her head, Meros suddenly used a little force to hold her tightly in his arms, making her unable to move.

"how?"

Lin Xiyue was somewhat surprised. She didn't understand why Moros would do this, and at the same time, she sensed that his body seemed to be acting strangely.

"Well, it's nothing."

Melos's voice remained relaxed, but Lin Xiyue could sense that there seemed to be something hidden in his tone.

"The body is just suffering from excessive energy consumption, as I've already told you. The problem can be solved by retrieving the soul; there's nothing serious. In fact, it should be able to be retrieved soon."

Melos's words reassured Lin Xiyue somewhat, but she still felt something was off.

She tried to break free from Meros's embrace to check on him, but Meros held her even tighter, as if afraid she would see something she shouldn't.

Left with no other choice, Lin Xiyue could only give up struggling and quietly stay in Moros's arms.

She could feel that Meros's heart was beating a little fast, and his body seemed to be trembling slightly.

In fact, Meros is in a very bad state right now.

Besides his bloodshot eyes, veins were bulging on his face, and even a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

Even so, he suppressed his pain and comforted Lin Xiyue in a lighthearted tone, not wanting her to worry about him.

"Hmm, I've told you everything. Don't you have any more questions?"

Meros's voice was deep and magnetic, as if carrying a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at Lin Xiyue in his arms, a hint of doting in his eyes.

"There isn't any for now, and you didn't tell me anything specific, so I can't ask anymore."

Lin Xiyue grumbled somewhat discontentedly.

Her tone carried a hint of complaint, indicating her dissatisfaction with Meros's concealment.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I can't tell you the specifics right now. I'll definitely tell you everything when the time comes."

Meros raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly.

His voice was gentle yet firm, which made people feel at ease.

Between these two sentences, Meros had quickly adjusted his emotions and restored everything to its original state.

His movements were elegant and swift, as if everything was under his control.

After Melos finished tidying up, he slowly released his hand from Lin Xiyue's back, allowing her to sit up straight.

Lin Xiyue immediately felt Moros loosen his grip. Like a startled fawn, she quickly sat up straight, her gaze fixed on Moros's face.

However, since Meros had already tidied himself up, Lin Xiyue did not notice anything unusual.

She only saw Meros's slightly tired face; although his smile was still gentle, it couldn't hide the weariness in his eyes.

Are you... tired?

Lin Xiyue gazed at Molos's slightly tired face, and a feeling of pity welled up in her heart. She asked him a question.

She unconsciously reached out and gently stroked Meros's cheek, as if trying to soothe the weariness on his face.

Sensing Lin Xiyue's concern, Melos's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Well, I am a little tired. You know, I haven't been feeling very energetic lately."

He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lin Xiyue, and said softly.

His voice revealed a hint of helplessness and exhaustion.

Lin Xiyue nodded; she knew about this as well.

She knew that Meros had been busy with matters of nurturing the soul lately and certainly hadn't gotten enough rest.

She looked at Meros with heartache, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Melos seemed to sense Lin Xiyue's worry, and he took the opportunity to rub against Lin Xiyue's hand, like a well-behaved kitten.

Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to hide the deep weariness and slight weakness in them.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue felt even more reluctant to let it go.

She knew that Meros was just putting on a brave face and didn't want her to worry.

"Then, let's rest first."

So she said softly.

"Okay, let's rest first and start getting things done tomorrow."

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's words, Meros nodded and softly replied:

Although his tone was calm, Lin Xiyue could still sense his exhaustion.

"Let's go to sleep."

As he spoke, Melos gently embraced Lin Xiyue and then stood up.

Lin Xiyue was carried by Mo Luosi as they walked towards the bedroom.

The room was lit with soft, warm light, creating a sense of tranquility.

Good night, see you tomorrow.

Melos placed Lin Xiyue on the bed and then spoke.

Lin Xiyue looked at Mo Luosi with tenderness in her eyes, and was momentarily stunned.

Then, Moros gently kissed Lin Xiyue's forehead, looking down at her without saying a word.

The bedroom was quiet, with only the soft breathing of the two people mingling together.

"Hey hey hey! Wait, wait a minute! I haven't showered yet! (wДw)"

Lin Xiyue was in a daze in the atmosphere, but then she suddenly remembered something, her body stiffened abruptly, and she awkwardly spoke.

Then, like a startled rabbit, she struggled to her feet, looking down awkwardly, too embarrassed to look at Meros.
