Chapter 539: About the Perfect Mistake in the Past

In this moment of tenderness and under Morax's comfort, Yuan Zhuoyue's breathing has become light and long.

Morax already knew that Yuan Zhuoyue was now very relieved, and fell asleep peacefully in his arms as if she had no grudges at all.

It was as if... she trusted him completely and had no guard against him at all.

At this moment in the past, after this tenderness ended, Yuan Zhuoyue would choose to take a bath and then fall asleep.

Perhaps it was because she had concealed it from him before, and didn't know where she used her strength, which consumed a lot of energy and disrupted the balance of the complex forces in her body.

This is because she has to spend a lot of energy to maintain her condition and stay within a "stable" range.

After the adjustments, when the surging power in Yuan Zhuoyue's body finally subsided, she dared to relax her tense heartstrings without restraint and let herself fall into a deep sleep without worries.

Morax knew that sleep was an extremely important thing for Yuan Zhuoyue.

Whether in the past or now, under the influence of the negative force called "filth", Yuan Zhuoyue has suffered irreparable damage both physically and mentally.

As long as she could fall asleep, whether it was a brief rest or a long sleep at night.

For her, they are all rare luxuries, the only way to completely relax her body and mind, and put all external worries behind her.

A peaceful moment when you don’t need to worry at all, you can empty your mind and not care about the world.

Therefore, Yuan Zhuoyue always cherishes every moment when she can fall asleep, but she is also very disgusted with anyone who dares to disturb her sleep without reason.

Morax knew all of this very well, so every time Yuan Zhuoyue fell asleep, unless it was necessary, Morax would always do his best to deal with everything that came to him.

If he is unable to solve those problems and the situation has not reached a point where it can affect the survival of the world, it can only be handled by Yuan Zhuoyue.

Morax would also find ways to suppress it temporarily, and when Yuan Zhuoyue woke up from her slumber, she would solve the conflicts and troubles that he could not handle.

In a nutshell, unless the sky falls and the earth collapses, Morax will not take the initiative to disturb Yuan Zhuoyue's sleep.

Even now, Yuan Zhuoyue has achieved a delicate balance because of the complex forces in his body.

The influence from the [filth] is not as strong as before, so it is not easy to contain.

But Morax would not disturb Yuan Zhuoyue while she was still asleep during their daily interactions, unless she had already woken up from her dream and was just lying on the bed dozing with her eyes closed.

No matter what itinerary has been planned in advance, Morax will always wait until Yuan Zhuoyue wakes up from his sleep before starting the day's actions.

However, Yuan Zhuoyue's daily routine is in line with the rhythm of nature. Whenever the sun rises and day and night separate, she will wake up from her sleep naturally without waiting.

Even at this time in the past, according to Yuan Zhuoyue's habit, he would take a bath and wash up before going to bed.

Morax was not ignorant and insisted on going through all that trouble to try to wake up Yuan Zhuoyue and let her take a bath before resting.

Between two evils, Morax chose the lesser of two evils. After much deliberation, he decided to cleanse the place with magic first, leaving a mess behind.

If she still feels dissatisfied and uncomfortable, it is not too late to take a bath after waking up from the dream.

In Morax's opinion, what Yuan Zhuoyue liked was not the process of washing the dirt off his body, but the feeling of being wrapped in the hot water emitting mist.

There were many times when Morax saw that Yuan Zhuoyue had not moved for a long time and went to investigate.

He could see that Yuan Zhuoyue was lying motionless at the bottom of the pool, and would not come out of the water until he tried to rescue her.

His thoughts returned, and Morax was in a trance for a moment as he felt Yuan Zhuoyue lying safely in his arms, her soft body emitting warmth.

Many times in the past, what he felt from Yuan Zhuoyue was an indescribable coldness and stickiness.

It's like the feeling of a drizzle in the cold wind during a rainy season, slowly soaking through clothes and sticking to the skin.

Although Morax was immune to cold and heat, he did not like this feeling. It inevitably reminded him of the dark and gloomy weather.

There is not a trace of light. I don’t know how long I have to wait before the clouds clear and the sun shines through the sky, dispelling the coldness that has accumulated on my body for a long time.

Only after she took a bath, when the heat from the water soaked her and had not yet dissipated, could Morax sense some warmth from her body.

But now, the feeling Yuan Zhuoyue gave him was like the warm sun rising in early spring, not scorching.

But it is enough to dispel the lingering cold air that has been accumulating for a long time.

Morax could hear her vibrant, strong, and full-of-life heartbeat, and could feel her slow yet continuous breathing.

These two rhythms representing life are intertwined together, forming the melody of Yuan Zhuoyue's life in such close proximity.

The warm body temperature radiating from the soft body in his arms slowly imprinted itself on his body.

This made Morax realize, more clearly than ever before, that she now belonged to the 'living'.

She was alive, warm... fragile, a 'miracle' that had been lost and then found again.

Morax didn't know what choice Yuan Zhuoyue would make in the future. Would he first choose the feminine part, the power called "filth", as his dominant one?

Or choose the power of [Zhulong], continue the duty as [the original god], and maintain the existence of the 'new world' in the ashes of the world.

But no matter what, in the process of making a choice, Yuan Zhuoyue will definitely retreat. The past that belongs to "human beings" and everything now are just illusions that she is willing to maintain.

But Morax hoped that such a warm "miracle" could exist longer. This was his slightly biased selfish desire.

There was a moment when Morax had the idea of ​​interfering with Yuan Zhuoyue's choice, but the emotion suddenly came over him and almost drowned his rationality, and he slowly suppressed it in the next moment.

Just as he said, he could not interfere with Yuan Zhuoyue's final thoughts and decision. No matter which path Yuan Zhuoyue chose, it was not a wrong choice, but the experience and results were different.

The only difference is that it is as she wishes or as he wishes, that's all.

Even from a more macro perspective, no matter what choice Yuan Zhuoyue made, in the end they would all end up in the same place and there would be no difference.

But ah...

Morax thought that his entanglement with Yuan Zhuoyue was so deep, both in love and hate.

So, with such a variable thrown into the mix, will Yuan Zhuoyue be shaken by Morax? Will his existence cause him to tilt and waver a little when weighing the pros and cons?

Although when he was talking with the Dragon King Rudra, Morax swore and insisted in his words.

Any of Yuan Zhuoyue's thoughts and choices were not something he could control, reverse, or shake.

But now that things have come to this, Morax still has the absurd hope that he, who is already very special to Yuan Zhuoyue, will be even more different.

He knew that no matter whether they loved or hated him, he was a special person to Yuan Zhuoyue.

But I also want it to be more special.

If one had not known of Ubolos's existence, had not glimpsed his sporadic past, one would not have known the extraordinary importance he attached to Morax.

Morax might not have such thoughts, or it might have nothing to do with romance, but he would still think of it with regret.

Why did he and Yuan Zhuoyue end up in such a situation?

Compared with Ubolos, their journey was much less bumpy and not covered with thorns. In comparison, it could be described as a smooth journey.

But he went wrong at every step and stepped very accurately into a ravine trap covered with thorns.
