Chapter 521 Account

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue's anger grew even stronger.

She won't let Meros off so easily!

"No, you can't!"

So she responded again, word by word.

This time, her words carried a clear threat, as if telling Meros that if he continued to evade the issue, she would have to take some "extraordinary measures."

"Hmm, okay."

Meros sighed helplessly, seemingly feeling somewhat resigned to his current situation.

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to tell Lin Xiyue the truth.

"...My energy consumption has been lagging behind its natural replenishment lately, so I might need to go back first."

Melos's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of provoking an overreaction from Lin Xiyue.

"What?! Is there something wrong with your body right now?!"

However, as soon as Lin Xiyue heard him say that, she immediately forgot everything else and asked anxiously.

Her tone was full of worry and concern, and she had completely lost her anger.

While asking Moros questions, Lin Xiyue struggled to wriggle in his arms, trying to turn her head to see his current condition.

Seeing her so anxious, Meros's heart softened, but he was worried that she might hurt herself by moving around so much, so he quickly loosened his arms a little and gently wrapped his arms around her.

"Well... I just couldn't control myself a little."

Seeing that he could no longer stop Lin Xiyue, Melos had no choice but to explain helplessly.

His voice revealed a hint of weariness, which made Lin Xiyue feel very sorry for him.

"Is that really all there is to it? Don't try to hide it from me!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiyue felt a little relieved, but still asked further questions out of concern.

Her gaze was fixed on Meros, as if trying to see through his eyes to his true thoughts.

"Really, I'm fine, don't worry."

Melos felt Lin Xiyue's gaze, and he gently shook his head, offering words of comfort.

To reassure Lin Xiyue, he loosened his grip slightly, allowing her to move more freely.

Lin Xiyue then turned around and subconsciously looked up at Moros.

Her gaze fell on his face, carefully observing his expression, trying to confirm whether he was really alright as he said.

"you!……"

Lin Xiyue's eyes widened in astonishment, her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Her gaze was fixed on Meros, especially on the pair of black cat ears on his head, which were trembling slightly as if they had grown out of nowhere.

These cat ears are the same color as Meros's hair, so they're not easy to spot unless you look closely.

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but recall the last time she saw Moros's cat ears. It was one night when Moros... cough cough, anyway, the scene made Lin Xiyue blush and her heart race.

However, under normal circumstances, Meros would not reveal his cat ears so easily.

Therefore, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but wonder: Could this also be due to a lack of energy?

Her thoughts wandered like a wild horse, going further and further away, and she even began to imagine all sorts of possible causes and consequences.

However, just as her imagination was about to get out of control, she suddenly realized that her thoughts were a bit too outrageous, so she quickly stopped her thoughts, blushing.

Is this an effect of energy deficiency?

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice calm, even though her heart was already churning with emotions.

Well...I guess so.

Moros's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He stretched out his arms and embraced Lin Xiyue tightly as if holding a precious treasure.

Caught off guard, Lin Xiyue felt a powerful force envelop her, and her body involuntarily pressed against Moros's chest.

She was somewhat surprised, but more than that, she felt a sense of relief.

Moros held Lin Xiyue in his arms and slowly stood up. His steps were steady and light, and Lin Xiyue in his arms did not bring him any burden.

He walked step by step toward the second floor, each step appearing so composed.

"So, what do I need to do? Will it have any negative impact on you? Tell me honestly, don't try to fool me!"

Lin Xiyue's voice revealed a hint of anxiety, and she held Molos's neck tightly with both hands, as if afraid that he would suddenly let go.

Her gaze was fixed on Meros's eyes, trying to find the answer in his eyes.

"Don't worry, there won't be any negative effects."

Melos sensed Lin Xiyue's nervousness. He looked down at Lin Xiyue in his arms and said softly.

"So what exactly do I need to do? Tell me quickly!"

However, Lin Xiyue did not relax because of his words. Her brows remained furrowed as she pressed on with her question.

"It's really nothing serious, it's just..."

Moros smiled helplessly. He knew Lin Xiyue's personality; once she decided to know something, she would definitely press for details. He sighed and said...

"Don't tell me it's no big deal. You always say that, and what happened? Last time when you went to fight with Fei Bo, you said the same thing, and it almost turned into a major disaster. You didn't even take me with you!"

Before Meros could finish speaking, Lin Xiyue interrupted him.

Lin Xiyue became more and more excited as she spoke. She recalled the fight with Fei Bo before. At that time, Mo Luosi seemed to be taking it lightly, but it turned out to be very dangerous, and he didn't even tell her.

"I might need to go back for a while, but don't worry, it won't have a big impact on me, it might just make me a little sleepy. I'm definitely not just saying that to you, how could I possibly do that to you?"

Meros lowered his head slightly, his deep eyes fixed on Lin Xiyue, as if trying to imprint her image deep in his heart.

His voice was deep and gentle, each word seeming to have been carefully considered before slowly uttering from his mouth.

He knew Lin Xiyue cared about and worried about him, so he tried his best to explain with the utmost sincerity, hoping to put her at ease.

Lin Xiyue listened quietly to Moros's words, her gaze also falling on Moros's eyes, which shone like the brightest stars in the night sky.

She could sense Meros's seriousness and sincerity, which gradually calmed her initially flustered heart.

"Well……"

"So, when are you going back?"

Lin Xiyue parted her lips slightly and uttered a soft murmur. After a moment's hesitation, she continued to ask.

Meros remained silent for a moment, seemingly contemplating the specific timing.

"I'll probably go back tomorrow after I finish handing things over with the people here."

After a while, he finally spoke.

His tone was somewhat uncertain, as some things still needed further confirmation, but he still tried to give Lin Xiyue a general timeframe.
