After being hit in the face by the system, I swapped bodies with Zhongli

Chapter 514: Mingmie

Yuan Zhuoyue's face did not show any special expression at this time. His eyes were as gentle and calm as ever, without any aggressiveness. He seemed to exude a calm, gentle and reassuring feeling.

But Morax, who was deeply entangled with her, could naturally see that Yuan Zhuoyue was staring at the puppet in his hand that had not yet been fully formed.

Those eyes, like the molten gold of the setting sun, contained unconcealable expectations and hopes. Such strong expectations accumulated together and gathered into a deep lake.

It seemed as if it could flow out of her eyes.

Once, when Yuan Zhuoyue was forced into a desperate situation and thought things were turning around, he also looked at him with such eyes.

Full of expectations, full of hope, full of trust.

But in the end… her expectations were dashed, her hopes were dashed, and her trust was betrayed.

After being eroded and devoured, the remaining ashes of those intense colors gathered together and condensed into the most intense regret and hatred.

But such strong and sharp embers burned not only him, but also herself...turning into a long and lasting torture.

Perhaps it was because in Morax's memory, the consequences of past failures were too heavy and too tragic for them.

After once again feeling Yuan Zhuoyue's expectations and her hopes, Morax felt inexplicably uneasy, always feeling that things might not go smoothly.

Especially before this, he could confirm that when he was trying to complete the commission handed down by Yuan Zhuoyue, Yuan Zhuoyue had already had a failure experience.

...Then, what will happen to Yuan Zhuoyue if he fails again?

Will the present and past experiences turn into a fuse that will completely unleash all the negative states that Yuan Zhuoyue has been hiding?

Morax didn't want to gamble, but he also didn't want to interfere with any of Yuan Zhuoyue's actions just because of a possibility when she didn't show any danger.

After all, adding new variables to an already unstable situation will cause things to develop in an even more uncontrollable and unknown direction.

It's really not a wise choice.

This is also the tacit understanding between Morax and Yuan Zhuoyue that has never been expressed, a "contract" that has never been revealed but is tacitly accepted by both parties.

Yuan Zhuoyue was very focused. After shaping the clay pieces, she used the tools she had prepared in advance to carve and polish them bit by bit.

He carefully molded the clay doll into the appearance he expected to see, and during the whole process he did not even give Morax, who was standing right next to him, a single glance.

In the end, even the slender fingertips of the doll were carefully trimmed, and after gradually carving out the full and round nails, Yuan Zhuoyue stopped his movements.

Holding it in both hands, he carefully examined the doll that had been strung together from different parts and had taken on a human-like appearance.

The tenderness and admiration revealed in those golden eyes clearly showed how satisfied she was with her carefully crafted work.

Then she began to paint the doll with colors, coated it with a layer of enamel, and cut off a strand of her long hair to embellish the hair and eyelashes of the small doll.

Then golden flames rose from Yuan Zhuoyue's hands, wrapping the little doll she was holding in her hands.

The bright and dazzling light and shadow domineeringly covered everything around, and also blurred Yuan Zhuoyue's face, making it difficult for Morax to see what kind of expression was revealed on Yuan Zhuoyue's face.
