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

"If you like it, just touch it." Fu Yuan pulled Shu Zao's hand and touched the veins on his hand.

He was in a good mood, especially after Shu Zao spoke up. He didn't expect Shu Zao to remember such a small thing.

"We can appreciate it another time. Don't suddenly grab me next time, it's dangerous, I might use a knife. Let's go, it's time for training."

Shuzao and Yuean went to the training room together yesterday, forming a large group because they brought their families.

The sentries on both sides can spar with each other without having to find a sparring partner, which is quite convenient.

It was a tough time for Etheris, though, because none of these Sentinels were mediocre, and he had never been so eager to become an SSS-class Sentinel.

Simply because he couldn't beat any of them.

Three hours later, Shuzao and Xianyue sat against the wall, wiping away their sweat and resting.

"These shoes are a new style, and you have to order them three months in advance." The marketing team said they were essential for training.

"I don't know, Xingyao bought it for me." She was just wearing it casually that morning.

"Hey, I can choose my favorite color if I buy it myself."

"The colors are exactly what I like, and he bought me a whole room full of shoes."

"They're so good at delivering!!"

"There's also a room full of clothes and jewelry." Shu Zao's vanity reached its peak.

"Holy crap, let me see the Sentinel's taste."

"Sure, I'll show you when we get back."

Every sentry present could hear their conversation.

For them, saying it's too small is useless.

Xingyao couldn't help but smile indulgently at Shuzao's boastful tone, a smile that almost earned him a punch from Fuyuan.

"Focus."

"Know."

Shu Zao went back home at noon and didn't come back; she was preparing the afternoon's dishes.

For some reason, she doesn't like having any living creatures around when she's cooking.

She enjoys quietly preparing the ingredients and savoring the cooking process.

"Let's make some watermelon juice."

Shu Zao asked Edfer to keep an eye on things while he changed his shoes and went out to buy watermelon.

It's possible to have the store's robots deliver, but Shuzao is worried that she won't be able to choose the sweetest one.

We can't be careless with 2000 Star Beans of watermelon; we also need to store some Star Beans to deal with emergencies.

She was standing in the elevator when she messaged Xingyao and the others, asking them to come to the store and choose a watermelon.

"Ding~" The elevator opened.

Shu Zao had barely taken two steps out of the elevator when she suddenly stopped—a sentry blocked her way and helped her steady her body as she leaned forward due to inertia.

"Hello, Director Shuzao, I am Elisai."

Shu took a step back, and the sentry also took a step back so that she could see him.

Shuzao: Isn't it only Erlang Shen who has three eyes?

This is eye-opening.

She was linguistic; Elisabeth was real.

In the photo provided by the system, Elisabeth was wearing a hat, and she didn't notice that he actually had an eye on his forehead.

Her hair was maple red, and she had three pigeon-blood rose-red pupils. Below, her two symmetrical eyes had upturned corners, and her eyelashes were clearly defined, like tiny brushes dipped in ink.

His face looked sophisticated, elegant, and alluring, yet also captivating. The fact that he was dressed in all white made his own "color" stand out even more.

"Hello, you can call me Shu Zaozao."

"Where is Shuzao going?"

"Are you going to buy watermelons?" If he goes, Xingyao and the others won't have to make a special trip to the store.

"go."

Shu sent a message to them to come back, and Elisay arrived.

Elizabeth never imagined his role would be to "smell" the sweetness of a watermelon, and he was filled with curiosity about the brain circuits of his personal mentor, who was six years younger than him.

"Besides Fuyuan here, you are the fourth to arrive. We will have dinner with my friend later. She also brought her own sentry."

"Then I've really caught a good time."

"Indeed." He didn't hide his schedule, but he hadn't seen it himself either.

It startled her.

When Crescent Moon saw Elisai, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

The reason was simple: she was inexperienced and had never seen a three-eyed sentry before.

Fortunately, with Etheris, Tiris, and Pelletta warming things up, it wasn't too awkward.

The sentries weren't very familiar with each other, so in a sense, their interactions were "fair" and started from scratch.

After the meal, we became a little more "familiar".

"Wait, don't go back to your rooms yet, we need to have a family meeting."

Shu Zao opened the door and went inside first.

The four sentries exchanged glances and went inside one after the other. Etheris was the last to enter, and he closed the door behind him.

Seeing that they had all sat down, Shu Zao finally spoke: "Since we're going to be living together for a long time, I hope everyone can speak up if they have any problems. Don't keep them bottled up inside. Only through communication can problems be solved."

Xingyao: "Agreed."

Fu Yuan: "Agreed."

Etheris: "Agreed."

Elizabeth: "Agreed."

"Okay, let's talk about sleeping arrangements. I won't bring water, and I can sleep with whomever I want. You guys should manage your own emotions."

Don't form cliques or target anyone in private. If I find out, the consequences won't be what you want to see. I also won't keep using the same sentinel indefinitely.

"Of course, whether you sleep with me or not will not affect the level of soothing. You can choose pure soothing. I will not coerce or bribe you. I follow the principle of voluntariness."

The emperor's life is not easy; he has no freedom to sleep with whomever he wants. She needs to be more assertive than the emperor in this regard.

She's shameless; she dares to make such a request.

But the emperor was better off than her; he had eunuchs to summon him to his bedchamber, so she had to go and call them herself to "serve her in bed."

To be honest, I'm quite shy. Even the most thick-skinned person will feel embarrassed.

She had to inform them about this beforehand, otherwise, given Etheris's character, that wolf cub would definitely create a "work schedule".

She'll be even more tired than when she's working, having to "clock in" every day, and won't be able to ask for leave.

Offering them the option of pure comfort is also for everyone's comfort. If they weren't unwilling to be touched, she wouldn't have made the move. Forcing them is not much different from forcing a good person into prostitution.

Xingyao: "Agreed."

Fu Yuan: "Agreed."

Elizabeth: "Agreed."

Etheris's voice held a hint of reluctance: "Agreed."

When will he be able to go to bed and share a blanket with Shuzao?

"Any other questions?" Shu Zao hadn't expected them to be so easy to talk to.

Elizabeth looked at Shuzao and said, "Xuannao has improved; her arrogance is gone."

He wanted to find out how much Shu Zao cared about this matter.

"You want to make excuses for her? What does her becoming a better person have to do with me? If Kasi hadn't taken care of me back then, I would be the one who's dead."

Her improvement is good for her, but it has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Does she change for the better and I have to lay down my butcher's knife?

"I found out that before Joan disappeared, he had contact with the Agaray family, and their mission for him was to kill you."

Two days before Xuenao went blind, you happened to be traveling near the city center.

"puff."

Shuzao stabbed Elisai in the back, "So, are you ready to die?"

Threaten her, saying she's tired of living.

Shu Zao's expression changed, becoming ferocious, bloodthirsty, and arrogant.

"Before you came, I actually had a plan: if you were unreliable, I would find other Sentinels to cooperate with and have an emotional affair with them."

When I'm put in charge of the White Tower and the central city, I'll include them in the partnership.

As for whether or not to engage with them, it depends on who you are and who they are at that time. If you're willing, then engage; if not, then cooperate—it's all about appeasement.

The sentries tensed up instantly. There were already too many competitors; if a few more came, they wouldn't even get a sip of the soup.
