"A strong soul means that more merit points are needed to bring You Yu to the next world. Originally, the main quest rewards in this world were very high, enough for the host to take You Yu away. The additional quests were optional.

But now it’s no longer possible. The host has to work hard to accumulate merit points, the more the better.

You Yu didn't know how long it would take for him to fuse the soul fragments, nor did he know how strong the soul fragments would be after they were completely fused. Everything was unknown.

What we know now is that the stronger the soul, the more merit points are required, which means..."

Yuan Rong: ...

Okay, he got it. It means that he can't miss any additional tasks, and he has to adjust the progress of the main task, because once the main task is completed, there will be no additional tasks to do.

The pressure came suddenly, and Yuan Rong was speechless. He hoped that the fusion of his soul with his partner would go smoothly, and preferably be completed sooner rather than later, so that he would have peace of mind.

Yuan Rong glanced at the system panel. It was now 2:53 in the middle of the night. If he didn't go to bed now, he would have no time to sleep. He would have to go to court at dawn, so he wouldn't have much time to sleep.

Opening his eyes, Yuan Rong looked at the person dozing beside the bed.

Before receiving the memories, he did not suggest that You Yu sleep next to him because he was concerned about You Yu's identity as the Emperor's secret guard.

It was not that he was worried that You Yu would attack him, but that he was afraid that it would affect You Yu's mood. After all, the fact that the Regent and the Emperor were not on good terms was already a well-known "secret."

Sleeping next to the enemy is really a mentally taxing thing, making people suspicious and restless.

However, things are different now. After understanding the whole story, Yuan Rong felt relaxed. After all, the secret guards are loyal to their masters and will do whatever they say without any ulterior motives.

"eleven."

You Shiyi opened his eyes and replied, "I'm here."

There wasn't a trace of sleepiness in their eyes. The secret guards' self-cultivation enabled them to remain absolutely vigilant when carrying out the tasks assigned by their master.

"Come up and sleep."

"It's...what?"

You Shiyi’s eyes widened, and his cold and calm expression finally failed to maintain, revealing his surprise clearly.

Yuan Rong smiled and said, "I said before that I can sleep well with Eleven by my side. I didn't mean that I want you to sit by my bed and watch over me. It's just..."

You Shiyi stared at Yuan Rong blankly without blinking. He seemed to have seen the most handsome person in the world. Why did the regent who was rumored to be cold and cruel have such a... seductive smile?

You Shiyi's heart was pounding so violently that it seemed like it was going to jump out. He almost raised his hand to cover his heart. Fortunately, he remembered the identity of the person in front of him in time and controlled himself, not exposing his thoughts that were enough to cost him his life.

"eleven?"

You Shiyi was startled by the sudden enlargement of the face and reflexively stepped back with his weapon in his hand.

Only after completing this series of actions did I realize how inappropriate these actions were.

If the prince blamed him, it would not be unjust for him to be sentenced to death.

"I deserve to die, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

You Shiyi dropped his weapon, turned over and knelt down to apologize.

Yuan Rong was unable to stop him and could only watch his partner complete this series of actions incredibly smoothly, as if he had done it a thousand times.

It seems, in fact, it is almost the same? In this ancient world, kneeling is normal, and a thousand times seems to be not too little.

Yuan Rong frowned in displeasure. He hoped that he would never come to this ancient plane again. He really didn't like seeing people kneeling around, especially when the person kneeling was his girlfriend...
