Chapter 133 Mission Rewards

This little thing is really rude, it just acts like he's at home!

And the little golden cube, who, as always, showed a little too much emotion, seemed to be completely absorbed in the movie playing on TV.

He didn't notice Yuan Zhuoyue's awakening and arrival at all.

It was placed on the coffee table in the living room. Its square body was trembling, and there were slight sobbing sounds.

It seemed that she was crying because the content of the film that was playing had captured her mind.

He didn't realize at all that there was an extra person next to him.

There were so many things to complain about that Yuan Zhuoyue didn't know where to start.

So Yuan Zhuoyue put on a gentle and amiable smile, raised his hand, and greeted the small golden cube on his coffee table.

It was a brisk and joyful sound: "Hi~"

The small golden cube, which had been concentrating on the TV screen, turned slightly after hearing the noise.

It looked like it turned around and looked at Yuan Zhuoyue, and then it immediately trembled, and the golden light on its body immediately flickered.

Yuan Zhuoyue watched as the small golden cube that had been on the table just now suddenly jumped into the air.

There was a feeling of extreme nervousness all over his body, and he kept his distance from her.

But he still replied weakly: "Hi..."

Yuan Zhuoyue kept smiling, and after walking to the sofa and checking in, he put on a slightly puzzled expression and asked, "Huh? Why are you still here?"

Small golden cube: "..."

I also want to know why I should stay with you!

He still remembered that not long ago, he was freed from that dark, soundless place where no perception could emanate.

The first thing I saw was a tall and clear figure with sharp golden eyes.

The little golden cube immediately became furious and started to curse, but he didn't dare to curse too badly.

I only dared to use that high-pitched voice to vent the anger accumulated in my chest: "Yuan Zhuoyue! You are mentally ill, you have nothing to do, I can find something for you to do! You come to torment me every now and then! This time it's even more excessive! Since you directly locked me up in a small dark room?! Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Finally, the voice of the little golden cube was an impassioned warning: "If you really push me to the limit, I can teach you a lesson!"

Amidst this barrage of accusations, a tall and clear figure stood in front of the small golden cube.

After being stunned for a moment, he showed no anger, but a hint of helplessness on his face. Then he replied in a low and gentle voice: "...It's me."

The little golden cube was completely blinded by anger, and immediately replied in a bad tone: "I know it was you! Who else would do such a thing except you who is so crazy!"

But after roaring, the small golden cube discovered something wrong and floated a little closer, shortening the distance between it and the person in front of it.

He turned around and observed it carefully again, then hesitantly said: "...Morax?"

The tall figure with golden eyes nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The little golden cube apologized again and again: "I didn't know you and Yuan Zhuoyue had already switched back!"

Morax's expression was still warm and gentle, and he replied calmly, "No problem."

Now that he had finally seen the little golden cube, Morax, who was more familiar to him, became more cheerful.

The anger that had been accumulated in his heart because of Yuan Zhuoyue dissipated a lot in an instant.

Immediately, he asked happily: "Are we going back to Liyue now?"

But Morax, in his expectant mood, replied: "I will go back to Liyue, and you will stay here, by her side."

The high spirits of the little golden cube immediately dropped, and it responded in a very obviously unhappy voice, "...Oh."

Judging from his behavior, he is like a child who cannot hide his emotions and shows his likes and dislikes clearly without any concealment.

Seeing this, Morax whispered soothingly: "When you were in Teyvat, you came into contact with things related to [filth]. Although it did not hurt you at the time, it still had an impact on you over time. Staying by her side can help you suppress and alleviate those effects to avoid future troubles."

The little golden cube had a lot of question marks in his head, but since Morax said so, he still responded honestly: "Okay."

But then the little golden cube asked the same question again: "...Why do you suddenly want to go back to Teywatt? The situation here with Yuan Zhuoyue is indeed not very good. Do you have to go back now?"

"I won't be away for too long." Morax explained, "This body is no longer able to bear the gradually recovering power of Yuan Zhuoyue. It has already been damaged... to prevent those negative forces from passing through these cracks and infecting her soul."

"Damage?" The small golden cube was startled at first, then it moved closer anxiously, wanting to take a closer look at Morax's condition.

She kept complaining: "It's not her own body, that unscrupulous guy just doesn't know how to cherish it!"

After getting closer, he took a quick look at the small golden cube and didn't find any obvious damage. After a closer look, he saw a tiny crack on Morax's neck.

It's just that those marks were too small, and when I didn't pay attention before, they looked a bit like hair stuck on the skin.

And now, the little golden cube felt that it could vaguely see the color of gold, stone and chalcedony faintly showing through those cracks.

Then he uttered an angry voice again: "I haven't seen you injured in so many years. Now Yuan Zhuoyue has only used this body for a few days, and she has tormented it into this state..."

Morax simply replied in a gentle voice: "This is just an incarnation. The power it can carry has a limit. Even if it was me, I would have used power beyond the limit without realizing it, and I would be in this situation now..."

"Alright, alright!" The little golden cube interrupted Morax impatiently, his voice was clearly angry: "I know what you mean. You're going to say it's none of her business, it has nothing to do with her!"

But after saying this, as if in a fit of anger, the little golden cube spoke again, and became serious: "Morax, there is something wrong with you. You have been wrong since you arrived in this world!"

"And the things you said... Yuan Zhuoyue's body has been soaked by those [filth]. You have spent a lot of energy to wash away the [filth] accumulated in her body, and now it is barely suppressed." When the golden little cube said these words, it deliberately slowed down the tone and made a puzzled and pitiful look: "But now you say that it is safe for me to be with her... There are many other things that are completely inconsistent with what you said before and the preparations you made. Of course, I don't distrust you, Morax... Based on my understanding of you, you must be hiding something from me now!"

The little golden cube spoke from the bottom of its heart, and Morax's attitude towards this indeed fell into a long silence.

After a long while, he spoke softly, "The matter is too complicated, and I don't know where to start... After some time, when the dust has settled, I will tell you the truth, okay?"

Such an attitude and these words made the little golden cube certain that Morax was indeed hiding something from him, and that thing was not small.

But in the end, the little golden cube didn't say anything more, and just replied in a muffled voice: "Okay."

So, now Morax has left without hesitation, and no one knows when he will return, leaving him alone to face Yuan Zhuoyue...

The light on the small golden cube flickered slightly again, and then slowly floated towards Yuan Zhuoyue, finally stopping in front of her eyes.

It was also after a long silence that the little golden cube spoke again, sounding very unconfident: "... Well, um... didn't you just finish the task... Well, you haven't received the reward yet!"

The voice that was a little erratic at first became more and more determined, and finally said in a resounding voice: "You still have a randomly drawn skill reward that you haven't claimed yet! Let's quickly draw it and see how your luck is!"
