Chapter 410 Forced Protection

Then Li Si reached out without hesitation and scooped Lin Xiyue up like a chick.

Yes, that's right, it's the action of "scooping up".

Lin Xiyue was lifted up by Li Si like a helpless toy doll.

Her feet were kicking wildly in the air, but she couldn't reach the ground.

Just then, a purple liquid suddenly surged up behind Li Si.

These liquids seemed to be alive, flowing rapidly and in the blink of an eye, they gathered into a shape resembling a single sofa.

This "sofa" looks so soft and fluffy that it makes you want to sit on it and try it out.

"Sit still and don't move. I need to take care of this thing."

After the "sofa" was formed, Li Si immediately placed Lin Xiyue on it gently, and then gave her instructions with a serious expression.

Lin Xiyue looked at the suddenly appearing "sofa" with some confusion. Although she was a little curious, she obediently sat down.

Once she sat down, she realized that the "sofa" was even softer than it looked; she felt as if she were enveloped in it, slowly sinking into it.

"Huh?! But I want to too..."

Upon hearing Li Si's words, Lin Xiyue's eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at him, her mouth slightly agape as if she wanted to say something.

However, before she could finish speaking, Li Si interrupted her, bringing her words to an abrupt halt.

"No, you don't want to."

Li Si's refusal was unusually decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if he had known all along that Lin Xiyue would say this.

He didn't even turn his head, interrupting her with a cold tone.

Moreover, Li Si seemed uneasy about completely extinguishing Lin Xiyue's hopes.

With a wave of his arm, the originally soft purple "sofa" seemed to come alive, and a seat belt quickly extended from it.

The seatbelt, like a nimble snake, swiftly and tightly wrapped around Lin Xiyue, firmly securing her to the seat and making it impossible for her to leave the sofa.

"Hey! Why are you tying me up?!"

Lin Xiyue was completely bewildered. Her eyes widened as she stared at herself, tightly bound to her seat, unable to move at all. After a long while, she finally came to her senses and immediately questioned Li Si.

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's voice, Li Si slowly turned his head, a smile appearing on his face.

"Of course, this is to protect your safety. I know you girls very well. You always say you won't do certain things, but in reality, you secretly do things that aren't allowed when I can't see you."

He looked at Lin Xiyue and explained slowly.

Lin Xiyue listened to Li Si's words and couldn't help but feel puzzled. She sensed a hint of resentment in Li Si's tone. Had he been deceived by someone before? And by a human girl, no less?

Suddenly, Lin Xiyue recalled the girl she and Mo Luosi had met before. She remembered that the girl knew Li Si, and their relationship seemed to be quite good.

Thinking about this, Lin Xiyue's thoughts began to wander.

She couldn't help but wonder, what exactly was the relationship between that girl and Li Si? Could they be...?

Lin Xiyue's thoughts wandered further and further, and various possibilities kept flashing through her mind.

[Don't overthink it, they've all gone far away!]

The system's voice was like a bolt of lightning, splitting the chaos in Lin Xiyue's mind and forcefully pulling her thoughts back.

"Huh?! What?!?!"

Lin Xiyue seemed to wake from a dream, her body trembled violently, and she looked around in disbelief.

The scene that was originally occupied by three people has now become unusually desolate, leaving her all alone, tied to the sofa.

"They really just left me here?!"

Lin Xiyue's voice was filled with astonishment and disbelief.

She stared wide-eyed at the direction Earl and Li Si had gone, their figures growing smaller and smaller until they disappeared from sight.

"Wait, didn't Li Si say before that they generally don't get involved in these kinds of fights? What's going on?!"

Lin Xiyue muttered to herself, a bewildered expression on her face.

She couldn't understand why Earl and Li Si would suddenly change their minds and fly towards the center of the battle between Meros and Fibo.

Lin Xiyue stood there blankly, her eyes fixed on Earl and Li Si's receding figures.

"What exactly is going on?"

After a long while, she came to her senses, turned to look at the system, and asked with a bewildered expression.

[I know that.]

The system seemed quite amused by Lin Xiyue's reaction, and it said smugly.

"Quickly—speak—"

Lin Xiyue struggled to wriggle on the "sofa," trying to break free from the cramped space, while anxiously urging the system to hurry up.

Her voice trembled slightly from the exertion of her body, and carried a hint of helplessness.

The system seemed unaware of Lin Xiyue's predicament, instead keeping her in suspense, which only made Lin Xiyue more and more irritable.

[Tsk, it didn't offer me any emotional value at all, bad review!]

The system couldn't help but complain, but Lin Xiyue remained unmoved, glaring fiercely at it.

[Ah, cough cough cough. I'll talk, I'll talk!]

Just as Lin Xiyue's patience was about to run out, the system seemed to sense her strong dissatisfaction and quickly changed its tune.

The system's tone became noticeably more obsequious, which made Lin Xiyue breathe a slight sigh of relief.

[Previously, Li Si said that unless there were special circumstances, they wouldn't intervene. Now that they've intervened, it means there are special circumstances now.]

Then, the system began to explain:

Lin Xiyue listened to the system's convoluted words as if she were hearing nonsense. But she still tried her best to understand what the system meant, after all, she was currently trapped on the "sofa" and urgently needed to know the truth.

"The only problem must be that 'Rubik's Cube'."

Lin Xiyue muttered to herself, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was trying to recall something.

After thinking for a moment, she finally decided to ask the system for help. After all, Li Si and the others took the "Rubik's Cube" with them when they left, and she had no way of knowing what had happened.

"Can you see what's wrong with that Rubik's Cube?"

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then asked the system.

Her voice was slightly excited, clearly indicating that she really wanted to know the answer to this question.

Let me see—

Just as Lin Xiyue finished speaking, the system notification sounded suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, the system started a scanning program to conduct a comprehensive detection and analysis of the direction in which Earl and Li Si were located.
