Chapter 195 : Soul Preservation-Lock

'Damn, what should I do now?' Li Wei cursed in his mind as he remembered Lyla's words that this process could not be stopped.

Currently, his body was only 30 percent full of the energy that she was transferring, so it would take two to five more minutes. However, Lyla was already getting tired and even started to frown with difficulty.

This made Li Wei worried about accidents happening and became anxious.

'Is there some problem with my body or is it because of the bug?' he thought, trying to think rapidly as he saw Lyla's face growing paler and paler.

Irene and others in the room also noticed this and became anxious.

(Miss Irene, is there something wrong?) Li Xin inquired through telepathy with a worried face.

However, Irene didn't reply and hurriedly sent a telepathic message to Li Wei after noticing what was happening.

(Li Wei! Your soul is a lot stronger and because of this Lyla needs a massive amount of MP to lock your soul, however, her MP is depleting rapidly. So please transfer your MP to her, or else she won't be able to escape unscathed,) Irene transmitted with a worried look.

Hearing this, Li Wei became stunned, but he didn't waste any time and placed his hand on Lyla's navel to transfer the MP to her.

There was a layer of clothing between them, but it didn't pose any problem, and he directly transferred twenty thousand MP per second into her body.

Lyla, who was focused on the skill, sensed this, but she didn't have time to see what was happening and used all her focus to seal Li Wei's soul.

She also noticed his soul was strong, but in her mind, it was still something that could be hurt if she failed the process of Soul Preservation. So, she was doing her best, not caring about their lips almost brushing off each other.

Li Wei was also the same as he didn't have time to dodge and think of it because he was busy transferring MP into her body.

The process wasn't that complicated, but if it's done incorrectly, it might cause some pain to the receiver and might even cause them to faint if it's done roughly.

Because of this, Li Wei has to make sure nothing is wrong. If not just one mistake might harm her, so he too focused his attention on transferring MP while using the Multi-Thinking skill to observe Lyla's condition.

With the supply of MP from him, her face returned to normal color. However, she was still exhausted, and sweat was dripping from her face drop by drop. Her eyes were also growing dull with tiredness.

Watching her like this, Li Wei once again became anxious because he couldn't divert his attention further to help her with this. If not, the MP transfer might go wrong.

He wasn't even able to curse or think anything and could only watch her like this helplessly.

Irene and others were also the same. The process of soul preservation was crucial, and they couldn't interfere with it, even if they have ways to help her.

'Lyla, you can do it. Just don't give up,' Irene muttered in her mind with anxiousness, regretting why she didn't consider Li Wei's soul might be this powerful.

However, her regret was useless now, and she could only hope that Lyla would complete the process without failing.

Li Xin and others didn't know what was happening, but they could see Irene getting anxious and Li Wei helping exhausted Lyla with a worried face.

So, they understood there was some kind of problem, and they also became worried about Lyla as she looked exhausted. They wanted to ask Irene about this, but seeing Irene's all focus on Lyla, they decided not to and waited with anxiousness.

Just as everyone was anxious, Lyla was also the same as the process was about to complete. However, because of the mental exhaustion, she was feeling dizzy along with a painful headache.

If it continued like this, she would definitely fail, even if she was just away from success. Thinking of this, her expression changed.

'No! Lyla, you can't fail here, or Li Wei's soul might get hurt,' she shouted in her mind and with a firm look, she put every ounce of power to finish the process.

"Soul Preservation-Lock," she shouted in a low voice that was filled with strength and determination as she drove the remaining last energy into Li Wei's body to complete the process.

And as soon as she did, Li Wei's body started to glow brightly, indicating the process was finally complete.

Watching this glow, Lyla heaved a sigh of relief, feeling happy. But her happiness didn't last long as dizziness and a painful headache struck her.

With this, she lost her balance with the control over her body and before she could think or try anything, she felt a soft sensation on her lips, making her stunned.

Li Wei was also the same, feeling a soft sensation on his lips with wide eyes and stunned look.

Just a moment ago, when Lyla finished the process of soul lock, he felt a little dizzy, and his view was blocked by the bright glow in front of him.

So, when Lyla lost control over her body, it was too late for him to react because he wasn't prepared for this and with how close the distance between them was they finally ended up with their lips pressing on each other.

Li Wei was still shocked and stunned, not knowing what to do. The same was for Lyla, who wasn't able to move because she was still feeling dizzy and powerless.

So, with none of them moving, only silence remained between them as they looked into each other's stunned eyes.

This only lasted for a few seconds as Li Wei grabbed Lyla's face gently before separating their lips and moving her face onto his shoulder while her powerless body leaned on him for support.

Li Wei could feel two big soft things on his chest, but he didn't care about it and looked at her with concern.

"Miss Lyla, are you okay?" he inquired with worry and guilt on his face, ignoring what happened now.

She ended up like this because he has powerful soul. The reason why Irene and Lyla couldn't figure it out was because he hid a lot of things from them. So, they took him as a normal hero and didn't consider this, which made Lyla almost hurt her soul.

There was no one at fault here except him, so he felt guilty about this while he genuinely worried about her situation.

However, Lyla didn't know this, and watching his guilty look, she felt it was because of the unintentional kiss with her he was feeling guilty.

Thinking of this, she blamed herself for falling on him like this and tried to separate from him. However, with no strength, she was only able to tremble a little with a painful look as the dizziness and headache struck her again.

But she soon forgot the pain because she felt getting embraced while a hand caressing her back gently.

"Miss Lyla, are you okay?" Li Wei inquired again with a soft tone as he saw through her thoughts.

Maybe because Lyla was tired, that's why she didn't hid her emotions or forgot to do so, nevertheless Li Wei saw this and instantly corrected her, while embracing and caressing her back to indicate it's not like this.

He did care about the kiss between them, but he was a man, and for him, it's just an accident, so it wasn't much.

However, he was definitely worried about how it might affect Lyla, but it wasn't the time to think of such things. The best way was to pretend nothing happened while also assuring her not to care about this.

Lyla did understand what he was conveying indirectly, so she felt relieved and depressed at the same time, wondering why he didn't feel anything about the kiss.

'Maybe it's because he never thought of me as a partner or lover,' she thought, feeling more depressed, which made Li Wei puzzled about what was wrong with her.

But before he could ask anything again, Irene, who was watching everything with a stunned look, intervened.

"Li Wei, don't ask her any questions. She is extremely tired, and it's best to let her rest for an hour," Irene stated as she saw him trying to ask questions again.

Hearing this, Li Wei didn't reject her and wondered whether he should put her down on the bed or let her rest in his arms like this.

But after a hesitation, he decided to let her stay in his arms while he continued to stroke her back gently.

He himself didn't know why he thought of doing this, but he didn't care too much, as it would only be happening for today.

However, he became speechless, because just after a few seconds of making this decision, Lyla was sleeping silently in his arms with rhythmic breathing.

Nevertheless, he still didn't have any intentions to put her down on the bed, so he let her stay like this before turning towards Li Xin and Li Yin, who were watching him silently with a gentle smile.

Elva and the others were also watching, but with stunned looks, as everything happened too fast.
