Chapter 445: The Added Training

"Ugh—uh—"

Lin Xiyue's brows furrowed tightly, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her lips trembled slightly as she let out a painful groan.

The sound seemed to be forced out from deep within her throat, filled with pain.

Lin Xiyue could clearly feel something very sharp slowly invading her body along her tailbone.

The sensation was as if countless fine needles were piercing her skin simultaneously, then churning within her bone marrow. Sharp and abrupt pain spread rapidly from her tailbone throughout her body like a tidal wave, making every nerve feel as if it were on fire, causing her unbearable agony.

Her body completely lost control, trembling involuntarily, like a leaf falling in the wind, about to collapse.

If Moros hadn't caught her waist in time, Lin Xiyue would probably have collapsed to her knees from the intense pain.

Melos's hand was pressed tightly against Lin Xiyue's waist. He could feel her body trembling, an uncontrollable fear and pain.

He took a deep breath and continuously channeled his energy into Lin Xiyue's body, hoping to alleviate her pain.

Thanks to Meros's efforts, Lin Xiyue's condition gradually stabilized.

Moros carefully pushed back the energy that belonged to Lin Xiyue herself, and then slowly pulled out the limbs that were inserted into her body little by little.

The whole process was unusually slow. Each pull made Lin Xiyue's body tremble violently, her breathing became rapid, and more cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Finally, Meros successfully pulled the severed limb out completely, and Lin Xiyue's body relaxed.

She lay sprawled in Moros's arms like a lump of mud, her body still trembling slightly from the intense pain that had just caused her muscles to contract uncontrollably.

"Okay, open your eyes, it's alright now."

Melos gently stroked Lin Xiyue's hair and said tenderly.

His voice was deep and gentle, soothing Lin Xiyue's fear and pain.

"Is everything...is everything alright? What about that bug? Has it been dealt with?"

After a long while, Lin Xiyue finally came to her senses. She slowly raised her head, looked at Molos with a somewhat blank gaze, and asked in a stammering voice.

"Everything else has been taken care of, except for that bug that got away."

Moros looked at Lin Xiyue and, seeing that her complexion gradually returned to normal, answered with relief.

Before he finished speaking, Moros suddenly reached out and, just like before, picked Lin Xiyue up in his arms.

His movements were gentle and skillful; one wonders how many times he had rehearsed them in his mind to achieve such ease.

Lin Xiyue felt a sudden lightness in her body and found herself sitting steadily on Moros's shoulder.

Moros wrapped one arm tightly around Lin Xiyue's calf to prevent her from falling.

Lin Xiyue's feet were dangling in mid-air, her heart couldn't help but beat faster, and a faint blush rose on her face.

Just then, Lin Xiyue suddenly realized that her posture was somewhat indecent, and her arms instinctively wrapped around Moros's head.

This action brought her and Meros closer together; she could even feel Meros's breath right next to her ear.

"Hey?!"

Lin Xiyue exclaimed in surprise, her voice tinged with panic.

"I...I can walk by myself. Or, could you put me down?"

Her tone was somewhat shy; it was truly embarrassing to be held like a baby.

However, Melos did not immediately put Lin Xiyue down; he seemed unaware of Lin Xiyue's predicament.

He held Lin Xiyue in his arms, slowly turned around, and walked towards Li Si, who was not far away.

Just then, Lin Xiyue suddenly saw Li Si.

Li Si was standing not far away, holding a rope in his hand, the other end of which was tightly bound to Fei Bo. A half-smile played on Li Si's face as he looked at Lin Xiyue and Mo Luosi.

"No, we haven't caught that bug yet; it's still underground."

Melos frowned slightly and rejected Lin Xiyue's suggestion.

His gaze was fixed on the ground, as if he could see through the thick soil the insect hiding underground, constantly scurrying away.

He glanced at Li Si and saw that Li Si was looking at them with a teasing expression, so he gestured with his eyes for Li Si to turn his head away and stop looking this way.

"What if it runs away?!"

However, Lin Xiyue did not relax. Her face turned pale, and she asked worriedly.

Her voice betrayed a clear fear, as if the insect might suddenly emerge from the ground and drain everyone dry.

"Don't worry, it won't run away."

After Li Si turned his head, Moros spoke softly to Lin Xiyue.

His voice was deep and gentle, carrying a reassuring power.

"No. Its instincts will make it instinctively come to the owner who incubated it."

Meros spoke the truth.

"really?"

Lin Xiyue felt a little more at ease after hearing Molos's words, but she still asked more questions out of concern.

"Really, believe me."

Meros shook his head again, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it."

After saying that, he walked towards Li Si and Fei Bo, and then spoke to Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue watched as Molos continued walking without stopping. Although she still felt a little uneasy, she knew that there was nothing she could do right now and could only helplessly continue to be held by Molos.

"Hmm, okay."

Her face was as red as a ripe apple, and she shyly buried her face in Meros's neck, answering in a muffled voice.

Melos seemed to sense Lin Xiyue's unease, and he reached out and gently stroked her back, soothing her tenderly.

This action made Lin Xiyue's body tremble slightly, and her heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

Then, Meros approached Li Si and Fei Bo and began to talk to Li Si.

“That idiot Earl actually went back because of an accident. You need to find a time to contact him and tell him that from now on, all his training will be increased fivefold.”

"Melos said with barely suppressed impatience."

Upon hearing this, Li Si couldn't help but secretly lament for Er's plight.

Thankfully, Earl wasn't here, otherwise he probably would have burst into tears upon hearing this.

"Pfft-"

Li Si tried to hold back, but in the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He recalled the scene when he saw Earl being tied up.

He had witnessed the scene where Meros completely collected Earl's body into the jar, so he had actually anticipated that Earl's training volume would increase.

He never expected that Meros would increase Earl's training volume fivefold.
