Chapter 406 Handover

"Tsk, you need my help?"

Li Si stood to the side, watching Earl's actions, a slight smile playing on his lips, while he rolled his eyes and said with a hint of helplessness.

As he spoke, he slowly extended his left hand.

That hand was fair and slender, with neatly trimmed nails.

Li Si gently placed his left hand on Earl's forehead and gently shook it, making it impossible to tell what he was doing.

The moment Li Si's fingers touched Earl's forehead, a powerful energy surged forth from his palm.

This energy was a deep purple, as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky.

The purple light flickered incessantly at the junction of Li Si and Er Er, like a dancing flame, radiating a mysterious and captivating glow.

It seems to follow a certain rhythm, like some kind of law in the universe, which makes people fall in love with it.

As the purple light pulsed, a faint red mist gradually rose around Earl.

The fog was initially thin, but as time went on, it grew thicker and thicker, enveloping Earl tightly like a thin veil.

Li Si watched all this quietly, and when he saw that the red mist had completely enveloped Earl, he slowly withdrew his hand.

After he finished, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned to walk away from Earl.

When Li Si reached a distance from Earl, he stopped and stood there quietly, giving the red mist enough space to spread out freely.

"Boss, we're ready!"

Just then, Earl's voice came from the red mist. Although it was somewhat muffled, his excitement and anticipation were still evident.

Upon hearing Earl's shout, Meros's gaze, which had been fixed on Philip, suddenly shifted to Earl for a fleeting moment.

"Sweetie, get ready."

Then, his gaze softened, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he spoke softly to Lin Xiyue on his back.

"Huh?! What?! What preparations?!"

Lin Xiyue stared in astonishment, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg inside. She was completely stunned by Mo Luosi's words, her mind blank, and she had no idea how to respond.

Just as Lin Xiyue was about to ask a question, suddenly, a powerful force swept over Meros like a black whirlwind.

In the blink of an eye, the hair on Meros's body grew wildly as if by magic, like a black flame that quickly enveloped Lin Xiyue tightly.

Lin Xiyue felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, her body completely submerged in Meros's hair, as if she were in a dark vortex.

She instinctively struggled, trying to break free from the restraints, but it was all in vain.

"ah--------"

With a terrified scream, Lin Xiyue was aimed at Earl and the others by Moros and then thrown out.

The black ball spun rapidly in the air. Although Lin Xiyue was suspended in the middle of the ball, the feeling of weightlessness made her stomach churn and a strong wave of nausea surged up.

"Boom-"

Just as Lin Xiyue felt herself getting dizzy, she suddenly felt the black fur ball she was in bump into something and then abruptly stopped.

The impact jolted Lin Xiyue's body violently; her head was buzzing, and she saw stars.

"Got it, boss. Don't worry, I'll protect her."

A deep and gentle voice rang in Lin Xiyue's ears, like a ray of dawn coming from the dark abyss.

The sound brought Lin Xiyue a sense of relief. She tried to open her eyes to see who had caught her.

"Well……"

Lin Xiyue felt as if everything in front of her was pitch black, as if the whole world had been swallowed up by darkness.

The few short seconds she had been inside the ball were still echoing in her mind; the dizzying sensation made her feel disoriented.

Just then, a dazzling ray of sunlight suddenly pierced through the darkness and shone directly on Lin Xiyue.

She subconsciously looked up, only to find that the black sphere above her head had cracked open, and standing in the opening was a person—Li Si.

Since Li Si was facing away from the sun, the first thing Lin Xiyue saw was his beautiful purple hair, which cascaded down his shoulders like a waterfall, swaying gently in the breeze as if dancing gracefully.

"Miss Lin, are you alright?"

Li Si's voice, like a gentle spring breeze, reached Lin Xiyue's ears.

"Uh, it's, it's alright."

Lin Xiyue answered somewhat absentmindedly, her thoughts still lingering on the dizziness she had just experienced. It took her a while to come back to her senses.

As she answered Li Si's questions, she hurriedly tried to stand up.

"No rush, take your time."

Li Si seemed to notice Lin Xiyue's embarrassment. He smiled slightly, spoke softly, and then slowly took two steps back, giving Lin Xiyue enough space to walk out of the ball.

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, steadied herself, and then carefully took a step forward.

When she finally stepped out of the black sphere, she suddenly realized that Meros had entrusted her to Li Si for protection.

Her thoughts surged like a tidal wave, and the scene of the fierce battle between Meros and Fiber kept flashing through her mind.

Just then, her body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and she involuntarily turned her head to look in the direction of Meros.

The moment their eyes met, she witnessed a jaw-dropping scene—the battle between Meros and Fibonacci was becoming increasingly fierce. Their figures darted through the forest, their fists and palms clashing, each collision generating a gust of wind that rustled the surrounding leaves.

What shocked her even more was that their fighting range was getting larger and larger, as if the entire space had become their battlefield.

Suddenly, a thin, unrecognizable tentacle streaked across the sky like a meteor, falling straight to the ground not far from her, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Miss Lin, have you recovered?"

Li Si's voice suddenly rang in her ears, pulling her back to reality from her shock.

"My boss asked me to protect your safety, so I think we need to have a proper talk first."

"Oh? Oh, okay."

Lin Xiyue seemed to wake from a dream and quickly replied.

However, although her attention had been drawn to Li Si, her gaze still occasionally drifted towards Meros, and she silently prayed for him.

"Don't worry, the boss won't lose."

Li Si seemed to sense Lin Xiyue's worry and comforted her.

"Or, shall I take you a little further away? That would be safer and wouldn't distract the boss."

Lin Xiyue hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
