Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

"Don't feel pressured."

"Did you come here especially to comfort me?" Shu asked Edfer to bring over a few plates of pastries. "Try my new creations; you can't buy them anywhere else."

She opened another pastry shop, targeting high-level tour guides, and made a lot of money.

If she had opened a pastry shop back then, she wouldn't have had to exploit herself like this.

Finally, we're richer, and we have time to come up with ideas.

She donated a lot of Star Shells for the reconstruction of the White Pagoda.

"It's not just to comfort you; I've discovered that everyone's gone mad, including my personal sentinel."

Shuzao picked up the juice that was in the middle and placed it in front of Bethelia.

"Tell me, and I'll tell you where the madness is."

Bethlia smiled sadly: "Can you believe they're cheering and celebrating that a white tower withstood an attack of pollutants from two concentric circles?"

But they showed no concern for the sentries and guides who sacrificed their lives at the White Tower, as if they had forgotten them entirely.

I can't accept this! It shouldn't be like this!

"You think they're right?" Bethlia felt that Shuzao's gaze was strange.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Bethlia stood up: "I thought—I was overthinking things, and I apologize for bothering you."

"Haven't you witnessed a lot of death? Why has your mindset changed this time?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm more awake now."

Shu Zao reached out and pulled Bethlia to sit down: "Living is not easy. If you don't actively ignore the death around you, life will be very difficult."

Nironco honored the sentries and guides who sacrificed their lives, and their families also received compensation.

Don't think about it anymore.

Otherwise, depression would be the least of your worries!

If she were to die someday, she wouldn't want anyone to grieve for her. She's already dead; it's pointless to waste emotions on her and it's bad for her health!

Bethlia was unsure whether she had figured it out or not. After sitting for an hour, she left like a lost soul.

That evening, Shu was agonizing over whose card to choose when Etheris offered herself up.

"Shuzao, you said 'I'll watch it later' the other day, but you still haven't watched it today. I'm a little disappointed."

He didn't bother her about it a few days ago because he hadn't appeased her yet.

He said it would be included in the appeasement, but it's not worth it; he's not one to suffer losses.

"Hehe, still swollen?"

Would he be so stupid as to punch him twice on the head?

"The swelling has subsided on the surface, but it's still there inside."

Shuzao: Fortunately, I still have my IQ.

"Is it only your heart that's swollen?"

Shu was driving too fast, and Etheris didn't react for a moment until he followed her gaze and nodded embarrassedly.

"Then...can I stay here tonight?"

Don't refuse, please don't refuse!

He wasn't like Bo You, the all-nighter. When Shu Zao had insomnia and asked them to do exercises, Bo You would snatch the spot nine times out of ten. The only time he missed was to take care of Shuo Yan, who happened to be crying.

Bo You had her own "bed-climbing" method. He tried for a few days, but he couldn't keep going and couldn't replace Bo You.

Even with special notification sounds on the screen, it's useless. No one can grab something faster if they open their eyes and try to grab it; it's not as fast as grabbing something with their eyes constantly open.

He wasn't as good at keeping Shuzao interested as Xingyao was.

She always looks for stars!

Ugh, what a whistle.

"Since we're already here, let's eat before we leave."

Before even entering the bedroom, Etheris, holding Shuzao against the door, began their act.

Before they'd even taken off their clothes, they'd already hit home runs, each one more eager than the last.

Fortunately, the item was worn.

"Didn't you eat lunch this afternoon?"

Etheris left a bite mark on Shuzao's shoulder: "I ate. Don't worry, you won't go hungry."

Soon.

"A donkey pulling a millstone?"

He didn't fully understand the meaning of "donkey pulling a millstone," but half-understanding was enough for him to answer Shu Zao.

"You asked for it yourself, so crying later won't help."

Just what he wanted!

Tear off the clothes that are in the way, as they are hindering his performance.

After half an hour.

"Let's go somewhere else, the door is too loud."

Etheris took two steps and came to the wall next to him.

Less than half an hour later, Shu Zao lodged a protest.

"Go back to the room, my back is uncomfortable." She felt hot in the front and cold in the back; she wasn't a black man.

The door is warmer than the wall.

Etheris used all her strength to hold off Shuzao, then stopped and exhaled.

"Okay, let's go back to the room." He turned and strode towards the bedroom.

"Get out, during the truce."

"No, hit me instead."

He complied and refused Shuzao's offer, preferring to be beaten.

What are you going out to do?

Etheris put Shuzao on the bed and went out, tearing open the new packaging.

The mistake lies in excessive killing!

When Shuzao opened her eyes and woke up, there was a fluffy head in her arms.

She moved, and Etheris's head moved with her, then rubbed against her and stopped, her breathing becoming long and even.

"Etheris, as a towering Sentinel, you shouldn't be lying on top of me."

She's lucky she wasn't suffocated by the pressure.

Even without looking at her face, judging from their posture, they definitely look like a female gangster boss and the innocent male boyfriend she keeps at a nightclub.

She was smoking a cigarette; that image instantly boosted her sophistication.

"I like sleeping like this."

Shu Zao: "..."

"Get out of the way, I'm hungry."

He acted like he was deaf in the latter half of the night, and he took advantage of her and tormented her. I should have known better than to tease him.

It took a lot of effort.

"It's not this kind of hunger, it's a physical hunger." He had been working on it all night, and he didn't find the repetitive and tedious process boring at all!

Etheris grabbed Shuzao's wrist: "Feeding, feeding."

Two more hours passed.

He had a bruise around his eye, several scratches on his neck, and teeth marks on the back of his hand. He cheerfully came out of the bedroom to find food for Shuzao.

Etheris ordered several of Shuzao's favorite dishes, which Edford quickly prepared.

To speed things up, he was in charge of washing and chopping the vegetables.

After finishing his meal, he was kicked out of the bedroom. As he stepped out of the door where he had clashed the night before, Zhou Miao walked towards him.

"Oh, how many boxes did you use? It's gotten Shu into such a terrible state."

Etheris sensed the sourness in Zhou Miao's words and said smugly, "Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love. You have too little experience to understand."

He entered Shuzao's bedroom far more often than Zhou Miao could!

"Yes, hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love."

Etheris tried to run away, but it was too late; Zhou Miao dragged him back into the house.

In the evening, Shu came out of the bedroom and the family sat in the living room chatting.

As the event drew to a close, no sentry gave any closing remarks. Shu Zao, unable to hold back any longer, waved her hand and said, "Go back and rest. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy."

She's so sleepy!

She'll have the big bed all to herself tonight.

. . . .

At the entrance to the training room, Shu Zao saw Qian Deng. Nilong Ke was going to be transferred to the position of instructor!

"Good morning, Commander Shuzao."

Good morning, Director Qiandeng.

We exchanged brief greetings, had nothing to talk about, and went our separate ways.

After Shu finished training early, Hai Mei approached her.

The timing was perfect, ensuring it wouldn't disrupt her training rhythm.

Shu Zao wiped her sweat: "You want to cooperate with me to get rid of Director Si Qi?"

They were both SS-level guides, and the incident caused quite a stir, so Yue'an mentioned it to her a few times.

Siqi attempted to assault Haimei's sister in the treatment room and almost succeeded.

The two families stepped in to reach a settlement on their behalf.

"Yes, Commander Shuzao, grant me the authority to use the White Tower. I'll be your weapon."

The White Pagoda is now under strict control, and I can't find a suitable opportunity.

Siqi is asking her family to transfer her from the White Tower; the process is underway.

"I refuse."

Hai Mei outlined several conditions that could be met, but Shu Zao remained unmoved.

"Don't you hate Siqi? Her brother treated you like that back then. If it weren't for Director Yunyu helping you, you would have ended up in a terrible situation."

Shu Zao wore a professional fake smile: "Director Hai Mei, the White Tower is short of directors."

Is it genuine ignorance or feigned ignorance?

She should just say it directly!

"Where you are, there is danger." Jaime isn't stupid, and it's precisely because she's not stupid that she doesn't want other guides to jump into the fire pit of Maurice Dubonne White Tower.

"Ha, go check which sentries and guides have been transferred to the White Tower first, then we'll talk."
