The next day, Lin Wan'er had already returned to her training, while Lin Qiye told Hong Ying about Lin Xiao's treatment of Nix, which dispelled Hong Ying's worries.

When Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes from his sickbed, Nix was already dressed and sitting quietly by the window. The morning light shone on her, adding a touch of holiness to her.

Recalling Nix's initiative last night, something Lin Wan'er and Hong Ying hadn't done, he savored the feeling.

Nyx seemed to notice Lin Xiao's unusual behavior, and slowly turned around, her gaze falling on him with gentle tenderness.

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of panic swept through him, because he noticed that Nyx's eyes were shining with an unprecedented clarity and brightness, completely different from last night.

Nix smiled slightly: "You must be Lin Xiao. No need to panic. Although you tried to stop him last night, the difference in cultivation level left you powerless to resist. It's not your fault."

Although she spoke lightly, her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt, revealing a hint of nervousness in her heart.

She spoke again, her voice firm: "You promised me last night to avenge the children and to help me rebuild my body. Do those promises still stand?"

Hope shone in her eyes, for she not only sensed the chaotic energy from Lin Xiao, but also detected the presence of primordial purple energy.

This made her believe that Lin Xiao must have a powerful Great Xia God supporting him, and with their help, his path to revenge would undoubtedly be much smoother.

Lin Xiao's expression hardened, then he nodded solemnly: "Of course it counts. I, Lin Xiao, always keep my word. I will take full responsibility for what I have done."

[Ding! Nyx's favorability has increased to 60%.]

Nyx nodded slightly, but then said in a resentful tone, "There's no need to take responsibility. Although Erebus is gone, and my finding another partner wouldn't be considered betrayal, your current strength is not enough to bear that responsibility."

Lin Xiao was initially displeased, but he quickly caught the other meaning in her words, and his eyes lit up: "You mean, once I'm strong enough, I can take responsibility, right?"

A blush rose on Nyx's flawless face: "I didn't say that, but since I promised you last night, I will follow your arrangements and not seek revenge against Zeus until I recover to my peak condition. I'll wait for your help."

Lin Xiao nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

He couldn't help but wonder, "However, why did you recover so quickly?"

It should be noted that Lin Qiye had not yet drawn from the Dark God Ruins, which meant that Nyx's treatment progress had not yet reached fifty percent. She should not have recovered to normal so quickly, and should even be able to talk to him.

In the original work, Nyx's condition only improved slightly after Lin Qiye extracted the Dark God Ruins, but only by a little.

Nyx looked at Lin Xiao with a resentful gaze: "I am now in the form of a soul. Last night, I felt the chaotic energy deeply infuse into my soul."

With the company of that child, Qiye, my condition has been greatly alleviated, but this is only temporary; my true recovery is only limited.

Lin Xiao suddenly realized that he seemed to have subconsciously activated the Chaos Dao Scripture last night, which generated some chaotic energy, and through the intimate contact last night, he had injected it all into Nyx's soul.

He scratched his head awkwardly: "How long can you maintain this state?"

Nyx shook his head, looking somewhat troubled: "I don't know. I might fall into a state of delirium again at any moment and mistake you for Erebus. After all, your aura is too similar to his."

He also possesses the power of chaos, but the difference between you and him is that your chaotic power contains demonic energy, and you can condense extremely pure chaotic energy.

Lin Xiao opened his mouth, then hesitated, "Then... if something like last night happens again..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a change in Nyx's eyes. She suddenly lunged at Lin Xiao: "I miss the children so much. Do you think it's possible that we conceived a new life last night?"

Lin Xiao: ...

Seeing that he remained silent, Nyx prepared to kiss his lips again.

Lin Xiao quickly placed her hand between them, and her kiss landed on the back of his hand.

“Nyx, maybe last night, but could you let me go now? It’s dinner time, we should go eat.”

Nix had no choice but to give up and release Lin Xiao.

She covered her mouth, a mocking glint in her eyes: "You said you wanted to eat, but look at you now, you're not even dressed."

Lin Xiao's cheeks flushed red; he then realized that he had unknowingly become aroused.

He quickly took out his clothes from his storage ring and put them on, and also changed the sheets and other items. He absolutely couldn't let Li Yifei, that big mouth, see the traces from last night.

Nix took Lin Xiao's arm and said affectionately, "Honey, let's go out to eat."

Lin Xiao let her lead him to the restaurant, where Mei Lin and Li Yifei were already seated at the table.

Merlin looked at the two men with a deep gaze, a mysterious smile playing on his lips: "Good morning, Lord Lin Xiao and Lord Nyx."

Li Yifei didn't notice anything unusual because Lin Qiye had already told him in advance that Lin Xiao was treating Nix.

"Brother Xiao, Grandma, come and eat!"

Nix gave Li Yifei a disapproving look: "Hey grandson, this is your grandfather, not some Brother Xiao. Hurry up and call him grandfather."

Li Yifei felt a little embarrassed, but then he remembered that he had already called him yesterday, so he wasn't so awkward anymore: "Grandpa, come and eat."

Nix nodded in satisfaction, pulled Lin Xiao to sit down, served him rice and vegetables, and even put the dishes directly to his mouth.

Li Yifei assumed that Nix was acting this way because of his illness and did not consider any other possibilities.

After a moment of contemplation, Merlin turned his gaze to Lin Xiao: "Lord Lin Xiao, I think we should talk about Lady Lin Wan'er's problem."

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt rising in his mind: "What's wrong with Wan'er?"

Nix frowned slightly and hugged Lin Xiao tightly with displeasure: "Who is Lin Wan'er? Is she your mistress? I knew you men were all the same."

Lin Xiao gave a wry smile and gently patted her hand: "Be good. Lin Wan'er is not my affair; she is the person I am determined to marry properly. Once you accept me, I will marry you properly in return."

Li Yifei spat out his entire mouthful of rice, unable to believe what he had just heard.

Upon hearing this, Nyx blushed slightly: "It's been so long since you've treated me like a little girl, made me behave. Aren't you married me already?"

Lin Xiao suddenly realized that Nyx's current state must be because she desperately wanted to be treated like a little girl.

He tentatively reached out and gently ruffled Nyx's hair: "Then let's have another proper marriage. You eat first, Lord Merlin and I need to discuss serious matters."

Nyx nodded: "Okay."

Just as Lin Xiao had predicted, she did begin to eat.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to Merlin and said sincerely, "Lord Merlin, please tell me in detail about Wan'er."
