"Huh? The little guy can still move."

Gently pinching something on Chu Liangyu's face, Xiang Qiancheng watched her struggling and twisting with a smile on his face.

It's quite boring to sit there in the long night.

If he hadn't accidentally looked over here, he really wouldn't have noticed this guy.

The little bud, only the length of a finger, clearly didn't say anything, but Xiang Qiancheng could sense panic from its movements.

This is really interesting.

He squeezed it hard with his fingers and was surprised to find that it had the touch of a mollusk.

Curiously, he brought the thing closer to his eyes and took a look. There were two tiny black spots on the bean sprout-like branch, which shrank in fear as he approached.

Xiang Qiancheng was silent. Could this... be its eyes?

It's too small. The boogers he picked out were bigger than this.

What the hell is this thing? Not only does it feel weird, it also looks so casual.

It's no different from a new sprout on a tree, but this thing seems to have intelligence.

She should be able to understand what people are saying. Thinking of this, Xiang Qiancheng became interested: "From your actions just now, you seemed to want to get closer to her?"

This "she" naturally refers to Chu Liangyu.

Bringing the little guy closer to Chu Liangyu, its two thin tentacles waved more obviously.

Its actions had already given Xiang Qiancheng an answer, but he was even more confused: "What do you want to do?"

Naturally, his question went unanswered. After looking at Chu Liangyu's sleeping face for a while, Xiang Qiancheng loosened his grip and the little guy fell directly onto Chu Liangyu's chest.

Xiang Qiancheng squatted down and watched the little guy's movements quietly.

Beside Chu Liangyu, Chi Chongrui quietly opened his eyes and slowly sat up.

There was no sound during the whole process. Xiang Qiancheng was very close to him, but he was unaware of anything.

"What are you doing?"

Chi Chongrui stood behind him, his tone calm, as if it was just a normal inquiry.

Xiang Qiancheng felt a moment of panic and looked away from the little guy.

He stood up with a normal expression and faced the man.

I didn't pay much attention to this extra person around Chu Liangyu in the past, but now I realize that this guy's aura is very intimidating.

"Oh, I just suddenly wanted to see the female master, is there a problem?"

"I saw it all." After a pause, he looked at where Chu Liangyu was and added, "I saw you put something on her."

Xiang Qiancheng spread his hands indifferently: "It has nothing to do with me, that thing was originally on her."

Chi Chongrui chuckled lightly, feeling somewhat disgusted with what he did.

Out of mere curiosity, he threw unknown objects at her without any regard for her safety.

As a male orc, he shouldn't treat his female master like this.

Chi Chongrui squatted down and saw the thing at a glance.

He wanted to take the thing away, but it had already climbed to Chu Liangyu's chest.

Chi Chongrui's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. He pursed his lips, and his ears began to heat uncontrollably.

"Excuse me."

Chu Liangyu, who was sleeping, seemed to be aware of something. When she opened her eyes, she met a pair of very shallow eyes.

The thin shadow in the eyes gives people a feeling of melancholy and indifference.

"You...can't sleep?"

"No, yes, something has crawled onto you. Let me help you remove it."

Xiang Qiancheng raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue.

Now it's obvious to him.

Chu Liangyu spoke slowly, looking at Chi Chongrui with slightly curved eyebrows, with a gentleness that could make people fall in love with her under the soft moonlight.

In the past, she always seemed distant, with a faint smile habitually hanging on the corners of her mouth, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

When dealing with people and things, I always leave a glimmer of hope and never do things to the extreme.

This made him feel that Chu Liangyu was overly vigilant, even a little cowardly and without blood.

But as they spent more time together, he discovered that Chu Liangyu was not a heartless person.

Sometimes she is more bloodthirsty than anyone else, but she is suppressing herself for some unknown purpose.

He didn't know why, but he really liked the feeling of being by her side. No matter whether she was good or bad, he felt satisfied as long as he could be by her side.

"That's what you're holding that fell on me?"

Chu Liangyu sat up, and only then did she notice that Xiang Qiancheng was also standing next to her.

"Well, I don't know what it is."

"Give it to me, let me see it."

Chu Liangyu was watching intently and didn't notice that Xiang Qiancheng stiffened after being glanced at by her.

Seeing that Chi Chongrui had no intention of telling tales, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood quietly by to watch together.

[Ding—The omniscient system is online.]

[It is the guardian spirit of this overgrown forest, or rather its heart, responsible for preventing outsiders from entering the Beast Temple.]

This little thing, is it a guardian spirit?

Chu Liangyu remained silent.

But...it doesn't look like they can stop outsiders.

As soon as this thing got into her hands, it rolled around in her palm like a cat that had taken mint.

He even used two thin branches to hold her fingers, using them as a pillow for sleeping, and hung there without moving.

Chu Liangyu moved his hand, and its body shook. He hugged it tighter, with no intention of leaving.

"Lost it."

How can someone be so enthusiastic the first time they meet? He doesn't look like a good person.

Chu Liangyu stopped him and explained, "It's not threatening, and it's still useful to keep it."

"Does the Mistress know what this is?"

"Well, it's the guardian spirit of this weed forest."
