Chapter 462 Past

Trust, these two very simple words carry tremendous power.

Morax knew very well that even now, he and Yuan Zhuoyue still seemed to trust each other as before.

But it was already full of cracks that could not be repaired. The gap between them had been carved since the very beginning when Morax made a wrong judgment.

And then, with the erosion of time over the years, it gradually became more profound.

However, both Morax and Yuan Zhuoyue could clearly realize that the existence of the other party was an indispensable helper in reversing the decline and crisis.

In such circumstances, they must abandon the emotional thoughts in their hearts, open their hearts to each other, and give the purest trust.

But in this way, when they faced each other, they were like the sharpest blades, re-analyzing each other's wounds that had not yet healed.

Facing each other in the most bloody posture.

Morax had been bothering Yuan Zhuoyue for quite some time in the past, although Yuan Zhuoyue was not willing to meet him unless he had no other choice.

In most cases, it is an evasive or even escapist attitude, and this may be the case with Morax as well.

For Yuan Zhuoyue, whose mental state is extremely unstable and often out of control, the existence of Morax is definitely a fuse that can arouse her most intense emotions, a most painful stimulation point.

Therefore, if it wasn't for the fact that Yuan Zhuoyue really needed Morax's help, he wouldn't have approached casually.

Just watch from afar and be a silent bystander.

But even so, there are many barriers. Many times in the past, when Yuan Zhuoyue was in a state of rationality and calmness, he would be like this now.

Snuggle up to him, fall into sleep, and spend some peaceful and tranquil time.

But just in this difficult entanglement of love and hate, Morax looked at Yuan Zhuoyue who was leaning against him with a peaceful sleeping face.

Even, I felt a little bit of peace.

Morax sometimes has some illusions, as if all his past experiences were just a terrible dream.

Morax knew that if it weren't for her trust in him, Yuan Zhuoyue would not have been able to sleep so defenselessly beside him.

Such trust is like a tiny thorn piercing the skin and flesh. When it is not touched, you are unaware of it and don't feel anything special.

But once he actually touched the thorn, the strong foreign body sensation and the tingling sensation would remind Morax all the time.

All that happened before his eyes was the result of his arrogance and conceit.

The same is true for Yuan Zhuoyue. Everything is not what she wants, but she is constantly falling towards a worse ending.

In a state of confusion and ignorance, she tried to save herself and others.

But the final result is completely the opposite.

The power of [filth] entrenched in her body, making her a hotbed of negative and negative forces, making it impossible for her to judge whether what she saw and felt was real or false.

Her cognition was distorted, her mind was polluted, and she became a "monster" that she was unwilling to face.

Under such a terrible premise, her efforts and some of her actions eventually became the driving force behind the world's downfall.

However...her demise is not the end of everything.

Feeling the slender figure lying on his back, sleeping peacefully, Morax thought a lot at that moment.

But in the end it just turned into a silent sigh.

At this time Morax finally took action. He first raised his hand to hold Yuan Zhuoyue's shoulders, and then he tilted his body, and Yuan Zhuoyue, who was lying on his back, fell smoothly into his arms.

Looking down at the sleeping Yuan Zhuoyue, Morax couldn't help feeling a little dazed. He couldn't help but think of Yuan Zhuoyue whose past memories were buried and whose memory had not yet been revived.

That short and peaceful time together.

Although at that time, Yuan Zhuoyue seemed to have completely forgotten the knowledge, authority, and power he once possessed.

But just in case, in order to avoid any accidents along the way, Morax was a little anxious to use that knowledge to awaken some of the things she originally mastered.

Morax also knew that his behavior at that time was a bit too hasty, but he couldn't care less at that time.

Because he couldn't be sure that everything he envisioned would develop as expected.

He couldn't be sure that he could safely escape the disaster that he had deliberately brought upon himself.

He urgently hoped that Yuan Zhuoyue, even if he had not recalled his past memories, would definitely have the authority and power to stand on his own and face any crisis and difficulties.

Such strong expectations naturally brought considerable pressure to Yuan Zhuoyue, who was still in the process of studying.

As an ordinary human being during this period, Yuan Zhuoyue would naturally find it a bit overwhelmed by the continuous high-intensity and high-frequency learning.

After she showed signs of fatigue, she closed her eyes to rest and fell asleep, just like now, sleeping defenselessly beside him.

As always, it was as if she had given him the purest and most sincere trust.

Morax slightly gathered the figure in his arms, letting Yuan Zhuoyue's head rest on his shoulder, and then he hugged the sleeping Yuan Zhuoyue.

He walked towards the mansion he had prepared for Yuan Zhuoyue, which was located in the best location in Liyue Harbor.

Yuan Zhuoyue would not wake up for a while, and her current condition was not stable, so Morax made a decision immediately.

He took her away from the crowd and returned to the mansion where many formations had been set up long ago, to observe whether her condition would change again.

Until she woke up peacefully from her sleep.

Today's travel plan was forced to come to an abrupt end due to an unexpected situation, but Morax was more worried about the extent to which Yuan Zhuoyue's past memories would be restored after he woke up again.

Rather than fighting with swords, Morax hoped that after Yuan Zhuoyue woke up, they could still wander the streets of Liyue together as Yuan Zhuoyue had previously planned.

This was his selfish desire and also what he had expected at first.

The half of the body that is most closely connected to him can, under his leadership, witness with his own eyes what this prosperous country that has lasted for thousands of years looks like.

The vision of the past has been shattered, but now it seems possible to realize it again.

Even this future that Morax has fought for is still unknown to him.
