Chapter 167 1 Candy

Hearing Dean Zhao's somewhat regretful words, Meros lowered his head and quietly activated the contract.

As Meros finished chanting the incantation, the mysterious and eerie thread of the contract slowly emerged from Meros's chest.

The line was initially faint, but as time went on, it became clearer and clearer, like a living serpent winding its way outwards.

Meros's gaze followed the line closely, watching it travel through the air and extend toward the little girl not far away.

Finally, when the connection reached the little girl's chest, Meros held his breath.

However, the line of the contract was exactly the same as last night. The originally solid and firm line began to gradually become illusory the moment it touched the little girl's chest.

Its ethereal quality was like smoke, elusive and hard to grasp. The once clearly visible lines had become blurred, as if they might vanish into thin air at any moment.

"Huh? ゛('◇')?"

The little girl blinked her big, bright eyes, staring curiously at the illusory line that appeared and disappeared, shimmering with a strange light.

The light was as dazzling as a star in the night sky, instantly capturing the little girl's full attention.

She carefully stretched out her small, white hand, as delicate as a lotus root, trying to touch and grasp the mysterious and wondrous luminous line.

However, the lines seemed to possess their own unique spirit, like a mischievous little sprite, deftly avoiding the little girl's grasp and then wrapping themselves around her little hands.

Then, something amazing happened! The lines seemed to come alive and began to dance joyfully around the little girl's hand.

One moment it outlines the shape of a delicate, vibrant flower; the next it transforms into the form of a bird spreading its wings and soaring; and sometimes it even forms a sparkling heart shape...

Each change was like a spectacular performance, eliciting bursts of clear, melodious laughter from the little girl: "Hahahaha~~(￣▽￣)~* "

At this moment, the little girl's already fair and adorable face became even more rosy and charming because of her laughter.

Her arched eyebrows hung on her face like crescent moons, her bright eyes sparkled with joy, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing two deep dimples. She was simply irresistible.

Anyone who sees such an innocent and joyful little girl will want to hold her tightly in their arms and give her endless love and care.

Of course, Meros was no exception.

Moreover, after listening to Dean Zhao's words and seeing the little girl's interaction with the contract line, he was completely certain that the little girl in front of him was Lin Xiyue when she was a child.

For some reason, she lacked some of her main soul, which is why she seemed to have a slightly slower intellectual development.

“Bao, Xiyue.”

Meros approached the little girl, crouched down, and looked at her.

"Huh?! Pretty, handsome brother! (￣▽￣)／"

Xi Yue, who was playing with lines, heard Mo Luosi calling her and subconsciously looked up.

Then she saw a very handsome older brother who was squatting down next to her, looking at her with a smile.

"Yes. You can call me Brother Amo."

Meros extended his hand, gesturing for the little girl to place her hand in his large one.

"Brother Amo! (??▽?)?"

The little girl's exquisitely beautiful face was beaming with a radiant smile, as if everything she did brought her genuine joy and satisfaction.

Just then, she caught Meros's gesture.

Almost without hesitation, the little girl quickly stretched out her delicate, lotus-root-like hand and placed it without hesitation on Meros's large, strong hands with distinct knuckles.

In an instant, two hands, one big and one small, were tightly clasped together, creating a warm and beautiful scene.

Then, something amazing happened! A faint yet mysterious light suddenly burst forth from where the two hands were clasped together.

These lights are like twinkling stars in the night sky. Although they are too subtle for ordinary people to perceive, they do exist and intertwine and merge with each other in a wonderful way.

However, just a moment later, these lights vanished into the air as quickly as they appeared, as if they had never existed at all.

A few seconds after the light disappeared, Meros confirmed that she was Lin Xiyue as a child, but for some reason, her main soul was not here.

Just as Meros was about to delve deeper, he was warned by something inexplicable, advising him to remain calm. It also said that Lin Xiyue's main soul would return eventually, and that being too hasty now might lead to unfortunate changes in her fate.

Meros knew what it was; it was the consciousness of this planet.

If he weren't just an avatar with insufficient power, he probably would have already gone to snatch the person.

He has never believed in fate; only by being strong enough can one control one's own destiny.

However, looking at the little Xiyue in front of him and her lovely smile, Moros held back.

"Xi Yue, do you like your brother?"

Melos asked Xiyue softly that he wanted to adopt her first, so that she could at least always be by his side.

"I love you, brother! (*^▽^*) This is for you, brother! Don't be sad, brother, this is my favorite candy."

Xi Yue smiled at Mo Luosi. She noticed that Mo Luosi had been unhappy for a moment earlier, so she handed him a candy from her bag.

The candy lay quietly in Xiyue's small palm, and one glance revealed that it had been held tightly in someone's hand for a long time.

The once smooth and flat packaging paper is now wrinkled and crumpled, as if it has been rubbed and squeezed countless times.

When Meros picked it up and gently pinched it between his fingers, he could even feel a slightly sticky, melted sensation coming from between his fingers.

However, this seemingly ordinary and slightly melted candy was now lying peacefully in Meros's large palm.

From the way Xi Yue carefully handed it to Mo Luosi and the precious look in her eyes, it was easy to tell that this was definitely a treasure she cherished.

But at that very moment, Xi Yue gave this precious gift to Mo Luosi without hesitation. The candy seemed to carry her heartfelt wishes and simple desire for his happiness as it was delivered to him.

"Thank you, I love it."
