Chapter 159 Wake up

[By the way, speaking of which, didn't you say you'd protect the host? What happened to her? You actually disrupted the spacetime power within her! Is this how you do things? Huh?! (「▼皿▼)]

Only when the system brought this up did it remember to question Meros.

It never expected that it would go out and find other systems to play mahjong simply because it didn't want to waste energy and didn't want to see them constantly showing off their affection and turning off the lights for it.

They've caused such a huge mess as soon as they got back?! Can they even manage without me?!

The system grew angrier and angrier, and was about to continue berating Meros when it saw Meros lean down and press against Lin Xiyue's sleeping, lying flat body.

"It's okay, baby, I'll help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meros slowly lowered his thick, fan-shaped eyelids, his deep and ardent gaze falling on Lin Xiyue's luscious lips.

He leaned down slightly, like an elegant cheetah approaching its long-desired prey, and gently yet firmly kissed her lips.

In that instant, it was as if time itself had stopped flowing.

Meros's kiss was initially as gentle as a spring breeze, but gradually became more passionate, filled with endless longing and deep affection.

At the same time, his long, strong hands moved slowly, gently grasping Lin Xiyue's slender and delicate fingers, and interlocking them tightly.

With this movement, Meros's tall and imposing figure gradually pressed down on Lin Xiyue, like a majestic mountain, completely enveloping her in his broad and solid chest.

At this moment, Lin Xiyue was like a delicate flower, sheltered and protected by the towering tree of Meros.

However, the flower's petals were still tightly closed, as if it were in a dormant state.

Then, something amazing happened!

From Meros's imposing body, powerful and mysterious energy began to be released continuously.

These energies flowed slowly like a lively stream, gradually converging into his and Lin Xiyue's tightly clasped hands.

As time went on, this energy grew stronger and stronger. It seemed to have life and consciousness, and it was eager to be transmitted into Lin Xiyue's body through their tightly clasped hands.

At first, the energy only gently touched Lin Xiyue's skin, but soon it surged into her body like a tidal wave.

They seemed to be everywhere, quickly penetrating the skin, muscles, and even reaching deep into the bone marrow, rushing forward and bringing waves of strange sensations wherever they went.

Even in her sleep, Lin Xiyue felt as if her body was enveloped in a warm and gentle light, every cell of her body cheering and greedily absorbing this magical power from Meros.

"Well...cough cough cough..."

Lin Xiyue finally woke up coughing.

She slowly woke up, but her consciousness was still somewhat hazy.

Before she could even struggle to open her heavy eyelids and properly observe her surroundings, a violent coughing fit surged forth like a tidal wave.

The cough came on so violently, it felt as if it were tearing her internal organs out of her throat. Each cough was like a heavy hammer pounding on her fragile chest, causing her unbearable pain.

Meros held her in his arms, comforting her tenderly.

After coughing continuously for several seconds, an overwhelming feeling of nausea welled up inside me.

Lin Xiyue's brows furrowed, and her face instantly turned ashen. Then, with a "whoosh," she finally couldn't hold back any longer and vomited a large clump of dark, foul-smelling blood.

The clump of blood was sticky and mixed with some unknown filth, looking extremely terrifying. It was hard to believe that it actually came from a human body.

"Baby, are you feeling better?"

Moros gently wiped the smudges from Lin Xiyue's lips with a tissue, helping her catch her breath, his eyes filled with heartache.

"Well……"

It took Lin Xiyue a while to be able to see her surroundings clearly.

She saw Meros embracing her, and Louis and Ye Qingwan were looking at her with concern on the side of the bed. She could even hear the system chattering away in her ear.

[I said, "Look at what's wrong with you. I just went out to play mahjong for a little while, and you've gotten yourself into this state. Tsk tsk tsk, you really can't do without me!"]

"Sister Xiyue, are you feeling better? When you were unconscious, Brother Mo was so fierce. He acted like he was going to destroy the world."

When Louis saw that Lin Xiyue had woken up, he hurriedly went up to her to complain about Moros. Ye Qingwan tugged at him several times from behind, but he didn't notice.

"Ahem, well, Xiyue, now that you're awake, you should rest well. We'll head down now. Don't worry, Lanster and your cat are with my sister; they're safe."

Seeing the increasingly terrifying look in Molos's eyes, Ye Qingwan was really afraid that Louis would be killed to silence him, so she hurriedly spoke up.

"Oh right, Meros, remember to turn off the barrier. If you need anything, come find me. I'm really worried that the people outside will starve to death."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Louis outside, covering his mouth as he tried to say something more.

I don't know how someone so clueless could survive for so long under Moros's nose. Could it be because Lin Xiyue was protecting him?

Unaware that she had discovered the truth, Ye Qingwan managed to pull Louis out of the room with great difficulty.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw that the entire corridor had changed. The terrifying lairs that had been standing guard were slowly fading away, as if being gently erased by an eraser. Then, the corridor returned to normal, and even the air seemed much brighter.

"This is?"

Louis stared in disbelief at the scene.

"This should be a return to the real world, separating the inner world from the real world."

Ye Qingwan walked to the window, looked outside, and casually answered Louis's question.

In that instant, their gazes were all drawn to the window.

A breathtaking sight unfolded before our eyes: clearly visible to the naked eye, a somber hue seemed to be alive, slowly being drawn away from the surrounding buildings and from every corner of the air.

This change did not happen overnight, but rather in a gradual and subtle way.

At first, the gray colors only faded slightly, but as time went on, they faded faster and faster, as if they were being gently wiped away by an invisible hand.

Meanwhile, the bright colors that were originally hidden under the grayness began to emerge and gradually appeared.
