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

This was indeed the question Morax wanted to know, but he did not choose to press further. Instead, he smiled and replied with apparent understanding, "If you want to tell me, you will. If you don't want to, even under my coercion, I will not get a definite answer from you."

Upon hearing this answer, Yuan Zhuoyue remained calm and showed no emotion on her face, simply nodding slowly.

He didn't say anything more, as if to indicate that he had heard Morax's explanation, or as if to express his agreement with his answer.

Only after that did she pick up her chopsticks and slowly pick at her breakfast.

Seeing this, Morax remained calm and began to have dinner with Yuan Zhuoyue.

However, Yuan Zhuoyue's eating time did not last too long. After feeling her empty stomach being successfully filled with something, she quickly finished eating.

He felt as if the food had infused him with some energy, making him feel a little more comfortable, so he stopped eating.

I poured myself half a cup of warm water to dilute the taste in my mouth. The warm and comforting temperature lingered as it passed through my mouth and esophagus and into my stomach.

The warmth seemed to permeate her entire body, easing the chill that had gripped her from the inexplicable nightmare.

Yuan Zhuoyue held a teacup in her hand, and Morax also put down his chopsticks. He then parted his lips slightly and blurted out, "...After playing this imprisonment game with you for so long, can you let me out now? I want to go out and play."

This statement came quite suddenly, but Morax was already used to such seemingly inexplicable situations.

Because in those past experiences, Morax had heard even more abrupt and earth-shattering words from her more than once.

The content of the conversation left him speechless, completely unsure how to begin or what appropriate response to give.

When Morax heard those words that left him at a loss, he felt extremely overwhelmed. It was only after reflecting on them later, reviewing them multiple times, and carefully considering them that he realized how difficult it was to cope.

Morax finally found a solution.

As for the current situation, Morax is still handling Yuan Zhuoyue's indifferent words with ease and composure.

So Morax calmly put down the teacup he had just sipped, his expression indifferent, and preemptively asked, "...I wonder where it is that has such a unique view that it has captured your attention. I happen to be free today and have no other plans, so I can go with you."

At first glance, this answer seemed perfectly appropriate, showing a very considerate attitude.

Yuan Zhuoyue frowned, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked completely different.

She looked extremely dissatisfied and aggrieved, muttering in a low voice, "You've kept me locked up here for so long, won't you let me go out for some fresh air?"

As for Yuan Zhuoyue's slightly exaggerated performance, Morax remained unfazed and calm: "You can't be kept here... Moreover, the magic array set up here is only to prevent outsiders from spying on you."

He lowered his voice further and softened it, mimicking Yuan Zhuoyue's tone from before, and said in an affected, aggrieved voice, "Besides, these past few days, wherever you wanted to go, I followed your wishes and went with you. I even bought you many things you liked while we were traveling. Now, suddenly, you're turning around and making such a fuss about me… Don't you think that's a bit too much?"

Yuan Zhuoyue was momentarily speechless, clearly not expecting Morax to say something like that.

They put on this kind of face.

For a moment, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look Morax up and down with a hint of surprise, finding him quite peculiar.

But in a moment, she replied with great confidence, "That's not the same at all. You are my supervisor, and I am the prisoner you are guarding."

Morax's expression changed slightly, and he put away the affected manner he had been deliberately putting on, imitating Yuan Zhuoyue.

With a soft sigh, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes lowered, she said in a low, gentle voice, "If our relationship were truly as you describe, I wouldn't be able to control you... It's only because you're willing to stay by my side."

That gentle voice, like a soft breeze or a gentle stream, swept over her with an irresistible force.

With that tone and that expression, Yuan Zhuoyue's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Morax, and then a different kind of flutter rose in her heart.

It must be said that Morax easily captured her heart with just simple words and actions.

Yuan Zhuoyue naturally knew that Morax's behavior, whether in the past or now, was definitely intentional.

Knowing full well that there was a trap ahead, Yuan Zhuoyue still couldn't help but take the bait, and her previous unreasonable and argumentative attitude was gradually diminished.

Yuan Zhuoyue forcibly suppressed the jumbled thoughts that had just popped into her mind.

He then put on a serious expression and said earnestly, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore... Seriously, let's go to Wuwang Slope now."

Morax paused for a moment: "Why do you suddenly want to go to Wuwang Slope?"

Yuan Zhuoyue's lips curled into a smile, but her tone was calm: "I don't know what you did in my world. Although sending me to Teyvat did save me... that wasn't your only goal, was it?"

She countered, "Then how could you not know why I went to Wuwangpo?"

Morax sighed again, seemingly helpless and discouraged: "...I can only suppress and restrain those [filth], but I cannot eliminate them."

"Moreover, this world... is full of hidden dangers, and I naturally want to eliminate these great enemies in their infancy as soon as possible." Morax's expression also became slightly serious, and he solemnly said to Yuan Zhuoyue, "I cannot resolve such a calamity, so I can only ask you to lend a helping hand and relieve my worries."

"It seems you've had this idea for a long time." Yuan Zhuoyue raised her head slightly, meeting those golden eyes so close to hers. "You want my help, you need my help, but why haven't you said it? Even now, you haven't told me directly, but instead waited for me to 'guess'?"

Morax met the gaze of Uehara Takuyuki and said, "I'm waiting for you to make a decision."

Yuan Zhuoyue clapped her hands and cheered: "Then you've really been waiting for me."
