Chapter 300: Mutual praise in business

Yuan Zhuoyue adjusted his expression, put on a serious look, and asked Morax: "So what exactly are you going to do? Is it to the point where you need me to go just in case?"

Morax still avoided the question and replied in a gentle and calm voice: "I just left a backup plan in advance. Perhaps the situation in the future will be more optimistic than I expected."

As for the attitude that Morax is now showing again, Yuan Zhuoyue can be said to be accustomed to it.

After all, many times in the past, the communication between the two of them always abruptly turned to other things.

Yuan Zhuoyue could also understand that this was Morax's deliberate avoidance. He seemed to firmly believe that there were certain things that she should not know now.

Or rather, he shouldn't let her know now, because perhaps at some point in the future, Morax would be willing to explain everything to her without reservation, as he had promised him.

Yuan Zhuoyue did not continue to ask any more questions, but continued to ask calmly: "So this is the commission you assigned to me in advance? Then... do we need to sign a contract between you and me?"

But Morax shook his head, and then looked at her with his sharp golden eyes, his expression slightly solemn: "No need for a contract... This is just a request from me. When it really comes to that moment, no matter what choice you make, just follow your heart."

Yuan Zhuoyue, who had been sitting upright, fell back again and leaned on the soft backrest of the sofa. He tilted his head and said casually, "... Having said that, if I really encountered a crisis and I still had the strength to spare, I would definitely take action. So... it seems that I don't have any choice."

After hearing this, Morax fell into silence again. Those simple words, at this moment, seemed a little difficult for Morax to deal with.

After a long while, he spoke again. His voice was lighter than before, like smoke that was about to dissipate and reach Yuan Zhuoyue's ears.

That was a sentence without a beginning or an end: "...perhaps your thoughts will change over time."

Yuan Zhuoyue pondered over the conversation carefully before asking again, "But if that's the case, my position will be biased, and the world you live in is really facing a crisis. And I do have the ability to stop the spread of the disaster you're worried about... Then shouldn't you sign a contract with me now to restrict my actions?"

Morax stared at Yuan Zhuoyue in a daze for a moment with his golden eyes, and then responded very directly: "I just feel that... if I try to bind you with a contract now, when things really develop to that point, the situation may deteriorate further."

Yuan Zhuoyue asked in return: "Could it be that the 'Contract' of the God of 'Contract' cannot bind me?"

"The contract can indeed impose some restrictions on you..." Morax remained gentle and calm as he answered Yuan Zhuoyue: "But there are also many small tricks that can be used to bypass the contract and perform tasks outside of the contract."

This time, the information revealed by Morax in these words was much richer than before.

Yuan Zhuoyue grabbed the ends of her hair, which was radiant with the color of Danxia, ​​and twisted it around her fingertips for a few times before she said nonchalantly, "So it seems that I really don't know whether you trust me too much or too little."

Morax said as if complimenting him: "You have always been so smart and sharp."

Yuan Zhuoyue immediately put on an expression of satisfaction, but pretended to be modest and said: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it... You, old man, are the one who can be called knowledgeable and quick-witted."

The little golden cube that had been waiting for a long time did not wait for Morax to give him an answer as to what he was going to do.

Looking at the two people in front of me, who for some reason strayed from the topic and started praising each other, I was filled with question marks.

He couldn't help but move a little towards the direction where Morax was, and asked again in a low voice: "Morax, you haven't told me yet, what exactly are you going to do?"

The little golden cube was really nervous, because every action taken by Morax after arriving in this world was completely different from the plan they had discussed at the beginning.

And now, this incident suddenly happened, making him feel as if he was hallucinating a scene of entrusting an orphan to someone else. He felt that the uneasiness and worry in his heart were increasing day by day.

Although Morax had told him before that the most important thing now was to stabilize Yuan Zhuoyue's condition, if she could continue to maintain this state.

It will also become their most important help in dealing with certain things in the future, making them feel much more relaxed.

But for the little golden cube, no matter what crisis they will face in the end, no matter what sacrifices they will have to make.

He hoped that Morax, with whom he had been for a thousand years, could get through to the end safely, rather than Yuan Zhuoyue, with whom he was not familiar and even had some hostility.

Although Morax has always been calm and composed, as if everything is calculated, he will not make any radical and risky attempts in order to protect the common people.

But the behaviors he displayed now could be considered abnormal, and they really caused the little golden cube to feel worried.

Worried about Morax, just like what he had said in those tentative words, he intended to let Yuan Zhuoyue be the one to take over his "responsibilities" if absolutely necessary.
