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

Zhou Miao stood at the door; his room had been mostly renovated by now.

The pool is very large and beautiful, and there is some space left in the room to make it convenient to put a bed.

Note: In the fictional world, there are no problems like leaks; the water in the pool was brought in by Edfer and is clean.

She had never kept a mermaid before and didn't know whether mermaids slept in water or on a bed; she also couldn't find any information about it online.

"Tell Shuzao what you need when she wakes up." Xingyao sent some Star Coins to Zhoumiao. "Eat first."

"Okay." He was now penniless.

The treatment room didn't return the Starbean to him; instead, they refunded it to Shuzao's account.

"I'll take you for a walk around the White Pagoda this afternoon."

"This is troublesome."

Xiyu woke up even faster than Shuzao. It emerged from its mental state, its leaves fresh and tender, clearly showing that it had recovered very well.

The one guarding them now is Elisai.

"Lyuru."

As Ryul emerged from Elisai's spiritual vision, the two little ones greeted each other.

"Xiyu, will Shuzao wake up today?" Elisa knelt down and touched the leaves of Xiyu.

"Tomorrow."

When the shift changed, Xiyu broke off a branch for Elisai.

The branches it sends cannot wither naturally; they will disappear once the spiritual energy offered on the branches is exhausted.

It can usually last for half an hour.

When Shu Zao opened her eyes, she saw pairs of eyes of different colors.

She's back in this world where you don't need colored contact lenses.

Xingyao naturally extended her hand, and Shuzao didn't stand on ceremony; she didn't want to create another memorable scene in front of these sentries.

She'll be so embarrassed.

When Shu Zao held the exorbitant bill, her face froze. The densely packed numbers made her feel like she was about to have a heart attack.

In the short few months since she started playing with Sentinels, she has squandered a lot of Starbean coins while earning very little.

Starbucks are too fragile.

"Here are your allowance coins." Shu Zao hadn't cut their allowance; in fact, she'd increased it considerably.

It was a re-issuance based on the original ones given to them.

When Xian Yue'an received Shu Zao's message, she ran back from the training room, buying drinks along the way.

Her girlfriends probably have very bland tastes.

"Good morning."

"Yue'an, I've missed you so much."

They chatted for a while, and then their families had a meal together and introduced themselves. Xian Yue'an originally wanted to sleep with Shu Zao for one night.

But Shu Zao quickly 'chased' him away.

Shu Zao opened the door and went inside; they had already arrived.

"Okay, everyone's here. Let's begin the second family meeting."

Shu had asked Zhou Miao about his choice earlier, and he chose to be a genuine, dedicated sentinel.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Apart from Etheris, all of you Sentinels, please describe your abilities in detail."

Aside from unforeseen circumstances, there was too much room for improvement in our coordination during this mission; we need to work on improving it.

Not everyone in a team is an expert, but they must cooperate seamlessly when fighting.

Reduce weaknesses, unite as one, and work together towards a common goal.

The meeting lasted for an hour.

Shu took a picture of the crystal core and sent it to the central city, and edited the information as Fu Yuan's mother had instructed before sending it over.

He then used his mental power to cut the crystal core into five pieces and distributed them to the members who participated in the mission.

"Zhou Miao, you didn't participate at all, so you didn't get any." She told Zhou Miao that he was the only one who didn't get any, and it would feel a bit exclusionary not to mention it.

Even if it's nonsense, saying it still represents her attitude.

"No problem." He wasn't originally involved, but Shu Zao had specifically explained to him that this family was easier to integrate into than expected.

"When carrying out missions in the future, rare life-saving items will be distributed equally among all participants, barring any unforeseen circumstances. If you want more, you can exchange them privately or discuss it on the spot. The only requirement is that it must be 100% voluntary."

As for everything else, I'll keep it safe. Just let me know if you need it. Is that acceptable?

Fu Yuan: "Accept."

Xingyao: "Accept."

Elizabeth: "Accept."

Etheris: "Accept."

Zhou Miao: "Accept."

……

"Alright, since you have no further questions, you may return. Xingyao, please stay."

They understood what it meant for the stars to leave behind.

After Etheris closed the door, Shu Zao's smile was somewhat wicked, an expression that often hinted that she was about to do something.

"Xingyao, when do you think would be a good day for us to go to Yamu Hengshili White Tower?"

Discuss this with Xingyao first, and then tell them after you've reached an agreement.

Who can blame them when Xingyao is so reliable!

"At the earliest, in three days, I checked, some sentries have just returned from their missions."

The pollution levels may be high, so they have a reason to fight; they can't afford to put themselves at a disadvantage.

"Xingyao is as amazing as ever." Shuzao sat on Xingyao's lap, and before the flirting even started, their lips touched.

Shu Zao kissed her rather fiercely, but Xing Yao steadied her body and let her do as she pleased.

This affair had a cathartic element to it; the intense physical contact seemed to be a way of proving they were alive and that the current environment was safe.

Shu had seen the view from the summit time and time again, which stimulated her tense nerves.

During halftime, Shuzao lay on Xingyao, panting.

"Xingyao, this mission was too dangerous." He almost got himself killed.

As the team leader, she was under a lot of pressure. When dealing with emergencies, she would put on a very professional appearance, but she was actually quite flustered inside.

As a novice driver, she was very nervous during her first time in a car.

"You did a great job. We survived. It was so hard to kill. Shu Zao deserves a lot of credit for our safe escape."

Xingyao kissed Shuzao's lips, which were incredibly rosy.

"Are you still scared?"

"Yes, things are over, but it's not completely over for me yet. It will take some time." When Fu Yuan separated from the group, her hands were ice-cold.

"Will doing this help Shuzao relax?"

He knew without asking that Shuzao's condition explained everything.

"A little bit, but more than that, I made it with Xingyao because I like it."

"Liar, it's clearly very useful," Xingyao's voice was tinged with feigned anger. He rolled over, switching places, "I like hearing Shuzao tell the truth."

If they can speak freely and truthfully, their relationship will progress further.

"Then..." Shuzao hooked her arm around Xingyao's neck, "My nerves are still on edge, and I need Xingyao to break them."

"I will make sure Shuzao is completely relaxed, both inside and out."

Exercise is the best way to release emotions; keeping them bottled up inside is bad for your health in the long run.

This kind of training can both advance their relationship and provide exercise, so why not do it?

She's skilled, she likes it, so she's not at a disadvantage at all.

After two days of not being able to contact Shuzao, Xian Yue'an finally realized why Shuzao wouldn't let her sleep with her anymore.

She wants to sleep with her personal sentinel, and she wants to be the third wheel!

"Hmph, keep sleeping, it won't be long before you get a belly bulge."

A few months later, a bunch of little kids were calling her "Mom" and spending her money on her virtual currency.
