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

Why did he kill Shuzao?

"It must have been Agaray or Scherauer's family who made him do it. Our grudges with him wouldn't warrant such a deadly act."

It's all thanks to her betrayal of Xiyu during the day, and Xiyu's timely stubbornness, that she's the one lying on the ground now.

It has to be said that she does have some luck.

"So how do we erase his traces now? And those surveillance videos, Shuzao, you don't have the authority to delete them. We're finished."

happy Yu sadly clutched her 'head' and rolled on the ground.

"What's the panic? He must have taken care of all that before he came to kill me. He cares about those 'traces' even more than we do."

If he can't even handle this little thing, what's the point of him killing people?

Listening to what Shuzao said, Xiyu felt it made a lot of sense. It stood up, but after a couple of seconds it lay down again and continued to roll around.

"Now that you're crippled, what if more sentries come to kill you? I can't beat them."

Shu Zao felt a touch of gratitude, but mostly she felt disgust.

That's so silly.

"What level am I in the eyes of others?"

Grade A.

"Ha, it's already incredibly powerful for an A-rank Guide like me to be killed by an SSS-rank Sentinel, how could I possibly have any helpers! Of course, the fewer Sentinels/Guides who know about this, the better."

And you don't need to worry, they're the ones who should be worried. Qiong Yue has disappeared without a trace, and they're even more anxious than we are."

What should we do with the body?

"First, put it into a space chip, then find an opportunity to dispose of the body."

Xiyu instantly regained its vitality and took the initiative to put Qiongyue into the space chip.

"Xiyu, clean the floor and then go see if Edfer is still usable." When Qiongyue came in, Edfer didn't make a sound.

Don't break it.

"Okay," Xiyu muttered to herself as she worked, "Edford, you can't be in trouble, otherwise who's going to chat with me tonight?"

"Shuzao, what are you thinking about?" It came in and saw Shuzao with her eyes open, lost in thought.

"I'm wondering why I didn't have any nightmares after I killed Agareth."

Even when she killed Qiong Yue, she remained remarkably calm; she had never killed anyone before.

"They wanted to kill you, so what's wrong with you killing them in return? Why are you having nightmares?"

"Yes, what did I do wrong? I just want to live." Shu Zao stared at the ceiling, her tone firm.

"Good morning, Edfer just ran out of power. I've plugged it in."

"Okay, Xiyu, I need to rest now. You stay here by yourself."

"Hmm."

In the morning, Shu Zao urged happy Yu to hurry up, but happy Yu shook her head as she looked at the paralyzed Shu Zao.

"We can go another day; Shuzao needs my company more often."

"Alright, stop with the cheesy, sentimental stuff. I have Edford to take care of me."

If it stays here, it can only play by itself, so it's better to go to the training room with Kashi.

"Can Shuzao really do it on her own?"

"Sure, I had Edfer make some buns with the filling and dough I prepared last night. Go out and have Edfer pack them up and take them to Kasi for you."

"So, I'm really leaving?"

"Go have fun."

The elevator doors opened, and only Xiyu, holding the box, was there. Kasi took the box and asked, "Where's Shuzao?"

"Rest. This is what Shuzao asked me to bring you."

Kasi nodded and opened the box. The buns inside were almost identical. Shuzao's buns weren't bad-looking, but they could never achieve such a high degree of uniformity. They could only have been made by Edfer. The filling and dough were probably made by Shuzao.

For some reason, her cooking always tasted better than Edford's.

He took one and popped it into his mouth. It smelled delicious, and it was juicy. The filling was well-seasoned, and the dough was well-fermented.

"Kasi, if you don't want to share, just close the box." Xu Ke really wanted to kick him a few times. No wonder he refused when he asked him if he wanted to eat the jerky he had taken!

"It's not that I don't want to share, it's just the weight of one sentry." Kashi looked 'regretful'.

"Xiyu, are you going to get something?" Xu Ke looked at Xiyu, who was 'standing' on Kasi's shoulder after entering the elevator.

"I'm going to the training room with Kashi today. I promised Shuzao I wouldn't bother you guys," Xiyu patted her chest and assured him.

As soon as it said this, all the sentries in the elevator turned to look at it. happy Yu's words had been told to them by its own spiritual entity.

Sentinel spirits are naturally drawn to their guide spirits, and many even fawn over them.

Their reaction startled Xiyu, who quickly wrapped a branch around Kasi's neck.

"Don't be afraid, they've never seen the world before, Xiyu, don't take it to heart."

That's what they said. Kasi covered Xiyu up as soon as he left the building and only released it after entering the pre-booked training room.

As soon as Xiyu landed on the ground, a bunch of spiritual entities appeared and surrounded it.

Yes, yes, that's exactly the feeling. It feels like it's incredibly powerful, with a bunch of underlings.

Hahahaha.

This is the kind of life it should be living!

happy Yu is imbued with Shu Zao's spiritual power, which has little effect on calming spiritual beings, but its "touch" can make them feel comfortable.

Moreover, Xiyu showed that she particularly liked them, treating them even more gently than the Sentinels did, which made it hard not to be excited.

Xiyu was having a great time, and Shuzao felt much better three hours after it left.

She sat up and went to the bathroom. She opened the bedroom door and sat down at the dining table, where Edford immediately brought out breakfast.

"Master, you don't look well."

"I had a nightmare, it wasn't very big—"

"Knock knock knock." A knocking sound rang out on the door.

Edfer took a look and came back. "Master, she said her name is Crescent Moon Ann, and she wants to talk to you."

Shu Zao sighed, her expression indescribable. "Let it in."

The female lead is really bored. Didn't she say she was moving out? Doesn't packing take time?

When Xian Yue'an came in, Shu Zao had just finished the last of her steamed buns. She picked up another one and asked, "Want some?"

"No."

"Are you sure? Don't wait any longer, even if you swallow your saliva, I won't share any with you."

Crescent Moon: ...Am I that kind of person? I guess I really am. (つ﹏＜。)

No, she is the savior; we can't let her dignity be ruined by a mere morsel of food.

"One, please."

In the end, the desire for food overcame reason.

It smells so good! Shu Zao even deliberately broke the skin, almost getting dizzy from the aroma.

"Edford, take five buns." The buns weren't very big.

Shuzao was very satisfied with Xian Yue'an's reaction. The food was just a small test; she was seeing if Xian Yue'an was still the same Xian Yue'an.

Now she has a definition: she is still herself, no matter how serious her face looks, that innocent and sweet aura still can't be stopped from surfacing.

In my scattered memories, even when the female protagonist of the original book became stronger later on, she wasn't a mature and domineering woman. She was kind-hearted by nature and only occasionally acted a bit cocky.

It was harmless to begin with, but it actually made the character more charming. Book fans call her "Tsundere Baby".

After eating a steamed bun,

"How many Star Coins is this bun? We'll talk after you pay." Xian Yue'an's tone was less harsh than when she first arrived, and had become warmer.

I almost lost my mind; I came here to do serious business.

"Please enjoy your drink, Miss Director." Edford placed the drink in front of Xuan Yue An.

"Try it. I figured it out myself, and it tastes pretty good." She prepared the recipe and inputted it into Edfer's brain. Edfer could always make the same taste perfectly.

Crescent Moon: ...It's just a drink, it won't knock me out. I have no dealings with her for the Sentinel, so she probably wouldn't poison me.
