Chapter 247 Tears welling up but no tears remaining.

"ah!!!----"

A piercing scream ripped through the air; it turned out that Louis had been hit!

A sharp longsword pierced straight at him with lightning speed, instantly cutting a small but deep gash on his round and pert buttocks.

The sudden, excruciating pain surged through every nerve ending in Louis's body like an electric current, causing him to writhe in agony and scream in agony. His cries were more pitiful than those of a pig being slaughtered, making people burst out laughing.

And right after successfully wounding Louis, the mysterious longsword seemed to have instantly completed its mission, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.

Immediately afterwards, a card emitting a faint glow appeared out of thin air and flew back to Meros's hand at lightning speed.

"So, do you still dare to talk nonsense?"

Meros asked Louis a question with a hint of threat.

He then stuffed the card he had taken into Lin Xiyue's bag and released his hand from covering Lin Xiyue's eyes.

Before that, he casually untied the mysterious cloth bag containing the energy stone.

As he gently opened the clasp with his energy, the dense and intricate silver patterns that originally covered the surface of the bag began to fade away slowly in a wonderful and smooth way.

The patterns receded rapidly, like a surging tide, leaving only a small, unique mark resembling silver thorns at the top of the bag's seal.

Lin Xiyue, whose eyes had been covered by Moros, opened them at this moment. The first thing that caught her eye was a bag full of energy crystals that had already been opened.

These colorful crystals shimmer with a captivating light, some displaying a deep and noble purple, others radiating a refreshing and pleasant blue glow, while still others display fiery red and vibrant green, among many other colors that complement each other.

However, among the many crystals of various colors, the most numerous are those blue crystals that emit a deep blue luster.

They are like the bright stars in the night sky, gathering together to form a dazzling sea of ​​stars.

The sheer quantity and vibrant colors of the energy crystals gathered together made the entire surrounding space seem brighter, as if enveloped in a soft and warm halo.

Wow, so many! They're absolutely gorgeous!

Looking at the mountain of beautiful crystals before her, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but blurt out.

Her voice was filled with surprise and amazement; she was completely immersed in the dazzling spectacle.

Do you like it?

Melos's gentle voice softly rang in Lin Xiyue's ear.

"Hmm, I like it. (???)"

Looking at the glittering crystal, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but blurt out when she heard Moros's question.

"Hehe, here, it's all yours. These are some commonly used ones; I didn't bring the less frequently used ones, so you can use them for now."

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's reply, Moros couldn't help but laugh.

He patted Lin Xiyue's head and told her to put away the bag of energy crystals, as they were all for her.

"Huh? You're giving them all to me?! ヽ(゜Q。)ノ?"

Lin Xiyue looked at the bag of crystals, then looked up at Moros, who was a head taller than her, her face full of disbelief.

"Yes, it's all yours. Use it to protect yourself. Although I'll always be by your side, I'm afraid there might be places I can't see."

Melos pulled Lin Xiyue into his arms, rested his head on top of hers, and spoke slowly.

As Lin Xiyue listened to Mo Luosi's gentle words, she was completely unaware that, out of her sight, his eyes were already filled with a heavy gloom and obsession.

The fact that Lin Xiyue had disappeared from his sight twice was like a nightmare to Meros, haunting him forever and making it impossible for him to forget.

That incident became an incredibly sharp thorn, mercilessly piercing deep into his heart.

Now, although it may seem that the pain has subsided, the thorn has actually become firmly attached to the wound.

However, if this deep-seated old wound is touched again one day, the thorn will pierce deeper with even greater force, and the pain it brings will be more intense and unbearable.

"Um, Boss Mo! Mr. Lin! Wow! So much money!!! ($?$)"

Louis, clutching his backside and baring his teeth, limped over, breaking the sweet atmosphere between Lin Xiyue and Molos.

"What's wrong with you? Oh, this money was given to me by Amo. He told me to keep it for self-defense."

Looking at Louis's miserable appearance, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity, and also offered an explanation.

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Louis was speechless for a moment. He didn't know whether he should tell the truth or not, and could only look at Meros with tears in his eyes.

"He just tested your new card for you. It only caused a small wound with an attack that costs 1,000 energy coins."

Meros downplayed the issue.

Lin Xiyue was unaware that when Moros used the card, he thoughtfully covered Lin Xiyue's ears.

At that time, Lin Xiyue was too busy blushing to understand what had happened.

"really?"

Lin Xiyue found it hard to believe and turned to ask Louis.

"Ah, yes, yes, that's exactly what Boss Mo said! It's nothing, really nothing!"

What could Louis say? Under the gazes of Lin Xiyue and Moros, he could only nod frantically, as if pounding garlic, to show that Moros was absolutely right.

Louis even waved his hand while speaking, despite the pain.

"Tsk, here you go."

Melos couldn't stand it any longer and casually tossed a small bottle to Louis.

"Hey, thanks, Boss Mo! (??▽?)?"

Louis took it and saw that it was actually a top-quality wound medicine, the kind that could heal flesh and bone. His smile immediately became genuine.

"Speak, what brings you here?"

Meros rolled his eyes and started asking him questions directly.

"Well, here's the thing, we've finished the plan and sent it to you. What do you think of it? I was worried you wouldn't see it, so I came here specifically to find you."

Louis put away the medicine and also stopped pretending to be in excruciating pain.

The wound wasn't actually serious; if it weren't for the need to put on an act to see if he could get any benefits, he wouldn't have pretended. His wound is probably already healed by now.
