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

Ye Zhi wouldn't deign to give them something like the Mianxin Plant; she'd probably consider it a waste to use it on them.

After all, quite a few Star Shells are needed.

It's a heartbreaking truth: those at the bottom of society need to accumulate star coins for a long time just to "drug" someone.

"I will not take action against you unless I stand on the opposite side."

Etheris accepted the mother plant handed over by Angxu, and the other sentries, seeing this, also consumed the offspring plants and handed them over to the mother plant.

"As long as they can be calmed down, does it matter whether they can move, speak, or use their abilities? We'll have to trouble you with selecting special guided missions."

Now that things have come to this point, you should understand.

The reason they couldn't think of it was because they weren't ruthless enough, they didn't torture them to the extreme.

To put it bluntly, some sentries/guides are "cheap" and won't think about how to fight back no matter how much they are tortured.

You could say it's excessive 'kindness,' but that becomes one of the reasons why bad guys hurt you.

"Um... give them a few clothes first, they're so dazzling, I can't help but keep glancing at them."

It's not that I've taken a liking to them; the flowers by the roadside are in full bloom, and I can't help but stop and admire them.

Xingyao: "..." Sprinkle more medicine.

Fu Yuan: "..."

You can't get enough of looking at him, can you?

Elizabeth: "..."

Etheris: "..."

Is he as handsome as him? Is he as good-looking as him? Is he as capable as him?

What's so interesting about it? She didn't even look at him when he was dressed more lightly than them.

Damn it, he should have said he liked this style earlier, then he would have gone back and put it on.

Zhou Miao: "......"

Yuanli: "..."

That's incredible! I clearly didn't know enough about it, and I arrived too late.

Poyou: "......"

So this is what she's like as a director.

The other sentries: "..."

"Thanks."

"Thanks."

"Thanks."

...

The sentries awkwardly took the clothes and put them on; if they didn't, the sentries on the other side would tear them apart.

Shu Zao didn't notice the sentries' "undercurrents"; she was busy contemplating her situation.

What does Meiya want to do?

Did I make a mistake earlier? I took myself too seriously, and in the end, I was nothing.

What is my own path?

No, my path is clear—to live.

"Thank you, Director—" Ang Xu shut his mouth. Because Shu Zao's eyes were lifeless, he stood up but was then pulled back down to sit by Xing Yao.

She's "offline".

By the time Shu Zao regained consciousness, Ang Xu and the others had already "arrived at their destination" and left.

"What is Shu looking at? There's nothing there." Xingyao touched the back of Shu's head, his voice filled with doubt.

"It's nothing, I can't compare to you," Shu Zao turned around, feeling the gazes of several pairs of eyes, "and I can't compare to you either."

Watching married men is not a respectable thing.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhou Miao finally spoke up: "Shu Zao, if they spread the method, it might be detrimental to the other guides."

"Zhou Miao, just because this is your first time seeing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Seeing Zhou Miao's clear pink eyes, Shu Zao felt somewhat helpless. It was truly rare that he hadn't become abnormal despite suffering so much.

God is fair; extreme beauty always comes at a price.

"You can have Fuyuan, Xingyao, or Elisa check it out, and you'll find that the problem you're worried about has already existed."

If she could think of that, then the other guides and sentries would certainly be able to as well.

After exchanging blows with Mingye, he realized that his methods were too naive.

There is still a lot of room for improvement if one wants to proceed step by step like him.

"By the way, did you bring a gift?"

Fu Yuan was bewildered: "What gift?" He had to bring a gift home?

That's his house!!!

"Shouldn't we bring a gift when we visit? Let's go ask for help!!!"

Now that you're married, shouldn't we prepare some gifts for you?

"We should indeed prepare some gifts. We came in too much of a hurry. We'll buy them when we arrive at our destination," Xingyao said after a moment's thought.

It did feel strange to show up empty-handed. In the past, when I visited other families, it was either a banquet or a massacre.

Banquets are for preparing gifts, but slaughters are not, and there are no sentries to collect gifts.

Fu Yuan paused for a moment: "No need to buy any. There are still some of the food that Shu Zao sent to Ling Xi in your space chip. Just send those."

What you made yourself is even more heartfelt than what you bought. We need to get there quickly.

He stared blankly into her eyes.

"Her conscious periods are getting shorter and shorter." Elizabeth checked the time on the light screen.

Being controlled by Mingye, Shuzao knew she wouldn't accept that way of life; she couldn't bear it.

He killed everyone in the circle in a month, and he felt that ascending to heaven was easier than that.

They were greeted by Fuyuan's mother and sister; Nuoqia did not return.

The effects of using cypress flowers are immediate.

Yao Luoya brought Shu Zao to see Fu Yuan's 'card' alone.

"This is his life card; it will disappear when he dies."

"That's amazing." It was the first time she'd heard that.

"I have given birth to 103 children."

Shu Zao: "!!!"

"Now there are only thirteen left, most of them died from pollutants."

I don't know what's wrong with me, but my children are all so reckless. They won't stay in a safe place; they insist on running towards dangerous places.

"They are all my pride. I heard about the conditions Speaker Meino mentioned from Yuanyuan. What are your plans?"

Shu Zao didn't mince words: "My thoughts are the same as yours."

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"My goal is to live, to live for myself, not for Mingye. No one can control me."

Having consumed the Mianxin Plant, she was essentially dead. Given Mingye's bastardly mind, she couldn't find any Sentinels or Guides who had taken the Mother Plant; perhaps they were just ordinary people.

"The Tengmang family records very little about things within this circle; there's very little about it..."

They didn't stay overnight and returned home that same day.

Shu told them her idea early on, and no sentry objected. The countdown to her death began.

Within the industry.

"Huh? There are still some cedar flowers. How many are there?"

"How long can it be delayed?"

"Oh."

Without the extension of the sage flower, her conscious time will become increasingly shorter, and when she can no longer be conscious, she will die.

The days that followed were grueling; Shu trained them like mad, and she herself trained relentlessly.

Fu Yuan often rolled on the ground in pain, which was because Shu Zao had been forcibly opening his abilities.

She is increasing her body's resilience.

"Knock knock knock".

"Yue'an, come in quickly."

Shuzao stepped aside to let Xianyue enter the house.

"Shuzao, I want to go on the day you leave."

"You'd better not go. I don't know if you'll never come back."

I'm not sure.

Xian Yue An did not back down and gave her reason for going: "Usually, when the protagonist sacrifices himself to the heavens, the world will collapse."

If my protagonist's halo can't reach you, then let the world die with us.

Her best friend wasn't considered a good director by the public, but to her, Shu Zao was an excellent director.

It was just that the resistance was occasionally too extreme; it was the fault of those who stirred up trouble.

Shu Zao rubbed Xian Yue An's head: "Wow, what a novel brain circuit, but never mind, you can get revenge for me after you become stronger, I like that way."

"Dying together isn't romantic at all. What I want is for you to scatter the ashes of the scum who killed me on my grave."

With red eyes, Xian Yue'an said, "Shu Zao, there's something I've been meaning to tell you."

"What is it?"

"It was the day we first met Speaker Meino, when you said you were beyond help and then collapsed, right?"

Shu Zao explained, "So you knew Mingye would definitely save me, is that all?"

"I didn't catch you when you collapsed. I ran over and slapped Mingye. I don't know what I was thinking at the time. All I could think about was the Qiaojie instrument."

Shu Zao: "...That was also to save me."
