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

Shuzao's head was buried in Liuer's fur, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"The look on their faces when we left was absolutely hilarious."

Elisa took a small pillow out of the space chip, lifted Shuzao's head to put it under her head, and then tidied her hair.

It won't be cold; it has plenty of tails, softer and warmer than a blanket.

"Thank you, Elisay."

"You are welcome."

"Shuzao, will Funel team up with us again next time?" Etheris's voice interrupted Shuzao and Elisa's eye contact.

"I'm afraid not. Her abilities aren't suitable for a team." She's not as easy to fool as Mi Zhen; there's no way she'd try to take advantage of her.

"However, we could consider teaming up with Mi Zhen if she wants to."

If they can identify the guide who will each send out a sentry to cover the rear, the likelihood of them betraying their allies in the event of danger is very low.

Moreover, Mi Zhen's abilities are not weak either.

Mi Zhen's side.

"Do you think Shuzao knew we were trying to trick her, and that's why she deliberately arrived late?"

Without hesitation, Wen Zhao replied, "No, even Funer didn't suspect anything." Funer had a much deeper connection with them than Shu had.

"Then let's just keep this to ourselves."

Sentinels: "Yes, sir."

"By the way, if I asked her to team up with me, do you think she would agree?"

Shu Zao is strong and smart, and as a result, Funer suffered a great loss at her hands.

When we get back, we'll have to rush to comfort her again, and Hua Xingbei will have to go to the treatment room again.

It was so miserable that I wanted to burst out laughing.

Wen Zhao put it more tactfully, "Given Zhenzhen's personality, no director would want to team up with you."

"I'll ask her when the time comes."

Shu stopped at the entrance of the White Pagoda and handed Songmi flowers, Canglan grass, and a pile of medicinal herbs to Zhou Miao.

"Take this to the doctor, tell him my name, and he'll know what to do."

"Okay." Zhou Miao had a vague guess in her heart, but she dared not be sure.

It wasn't until the doctor put him in the "jar" that he confirmed what he had in mind.

He hadn't expected that Shu Zao would actually keep her promise and secretly collect medicinal herbs for him.

He thought it was just a superficial attempt to comfort him.

Xingbei Shu called the doctor directly, and they added green bubbles.

How did Funel know that Shuzao needed sorghum flowers and bluegrass?

That's because when the two of them were chatting, Shu Zao intentionally mentioned that she was missing these two medicinal herbs, and she said it several times.

Everything was premeditated.

They were both scheming against each other, and Shu had only slightly gained the upper hand.

Before returning to her room, Shuzao turned around and called out to Elisai, who was about to push open the door: "Elisai, come to my room tonight."

Subtext: Get some rest during the day.

Elizabeth was taken aback, but quickly recovered: "Okay."

Etheris looked at Elisa with envy.

He adored Shuzao, who would come to him for a nap after finishing a mission; her enthusiasm was boundless, surpassing anything he had ever felt before.

What a pity, Elisay got off easy.

He experienced it once, and Fu Yuan also only experienced it once; the rest were all about stars.

Xingyao didn't rush into the house. Instead, he waited until Shuzao closed the door. Then he walked over to Elisai and told him some things to be careful about.

Anyone can have their turn if Shuzao doesn't find it offensive.

That night, a rare downpour struck the White Pagoda.

The heavy, floor-to-ceiling windows blocked out the scattered light from outside, making the room pitch black.

Shu Zao buried half her face in the pillow, her hand unconsciously gripping the sheets.

Elizabeth's hair brushed against her shoulder blades again and again, and sweat dripped down her chin onto them.

"I didn't expect Shuzao to contact me; I thought you would contact Xingyao."

He was quite looking forward to it two months ago, but reality gave him a cold shower. Shu Zao hadn't called him, so his hopes were dashed.

Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn.

Now that he can eat meat, it still feels unreal, like he's dreaming.

Shu Zao organized her thoughts: "We have a name and a status, and we are both willing, isn't that enough?"

"...What, only male sentries/guides are allowed to have desires? This world doesn't need pure love."

There was a time when Douyin (TikTok) had a popular saying: "My morality is only preserved by poverty."

She wouldn't pursue pure love; that kind of luxury is something she can't "buy" or afford.

All I can do is make myself as strong as possible, live a fulfilling life in this world, and give myself as much freedom as possible.

"I understand what Shuzao is thinking." Elisa leaned down, pinched Shuzao's chin, and kissed her red lips.

The heavy rain continues.

.........

Shu Zao stretched lazily, opened her eyes, but couldn't see anything.

She reached out her hand over Elisabeth's shoulder, rested her chin on his shoulder, and squinted as she turned on the screen to check the time.

Three days have passed since they returned from their mission.

As expected, Shuzao's movements woke Elisa, who wrapped his arm around Shuzao's waist. "Not going to sleep anymore?"

"No, I've been sleeping for three days already."

"Actually, it was less than a day."

Shuzao pressed her lips close to Elisai's ear, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "It's three days." She then bit Elisai's earlobe.

"Mmm, it's been three days. Well, you've already slept for three days, so it's okay to sleep a little longer."

"I'm not sleepy, you can go to sleep if you want."

"Then will you sleep with me?"

She wasn't the kind of heartless guide who would just give you that after all. "Sure, if you don't mind the light."

She didn't want to get up, but the message came back.

"I don't mind." Elizabeth buried her head in Shuzao's collarbone, her hands still on Shuzao's waist, and soon, long, even breaths came.

Shuzao's right hand went through Elisai's neck, his legs draped over his waist, and his hands typed a reply rapidly.

[Shuzao]: Xingyao, has the reward arrived yet?

She put it on silent mode, so there won't be any "ding-dong" sound.

Xingyao replied very quickly.

[Star]: It arrived the day before yesterday.

[Shu Zao]: Take the XXX from the reward to the treatment room and give it to the doctor treating Zhou Miao.

[Starry Night]: Okay, I'll go now.

[Shu Zao]: Extremely efficient, truly a resourceful and wise Star Commander.

[Starry Night]: I prefer to hear Shuzao say, "As expected of my commander."

Shu Zao grinned, almost unable to stop laughing.

She's such a jerk! She's holding one guy in her arms while chatting with another guy on the screen.

She's figured out how to live this kind of life.

[Shuzao]: Mine, mine, Xingyao is mine.

Shuzao's agitation disturbed Elisai, who was mentally linked to him. Elisai tried to look up to see what was happening, but Shuzao quickly pressed his head down with his hand.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, it's nothing." Shu Zao stroked his hair with her left hand, the strands of hair between her fingers were smooth and soft, and she lowered her head to kiss the crown of his head.

Elisa didn't say anything in response to Shuzao's actions, but simply smiled and hugged Shuzao even tighter.

How wonderful! The two sentries were happy, and Shuzao was also pleased.

Life goes on as long as we can get by; there's no need to deliberately try to please everyone.
