Cui Shixu looked tenderly at Fang Ruotang in his arms, and couldn't help but gently press his head against her cheek, inhaling her warm breath. He wished he could become one with her and never be separated again.

"I cannot do it; only you yourselves, my Lord, can."

Cui Shixu: ...

He couldn't imagine how embarrassed Fang Ruotang would be if she knew that the six of them could not only hear her thoughts but also empathize with her; she would probably want to disappear into the ground.

But afterwards, once the emotions dissipate, given Fang Ruotang's playful and mischievous nature, the six of them are likely to suffer. Who knows, one day they might actually achieve the glorious feat of one person sleeping with the other while the other five stand guard.

Cui Shixu shook his head with a wry smile as he imagined that scene.

Hopefully, that day will never come; it's too...shameful.

【Us? Didn't we leave behind a way to resolve this?】

Yes, I have it! I'll give it to you now.

Without the slightest hesitation, the little mirror instilled a piece of knowledge into Cui Shixu's mind.

Cui Shixu felt a momentary throbbing pain in his head, but it was bearable and he recovered quickly.

Looking at the newly discovered gap in his knowledge, he fell silent.

[Don't understand? No problem, Gu Yanjin and the others don't understand either.]

Cui Shixu: ...

No wonder none of the first three mentioned it.

When will we be able to break free from synesthesia?

[Wait until the cultivation world and this world are fully connected? Wait until your threshold increases and you regain some abilities? That should be enough, right?] Little Mirror wasn't entirely confident either.

After all, whether or not it can be restored is not something that a spirit can decide.

Cui Shixu frowned slightly.

What are your true feelings?

[Well, when you have some free time, you could give it a try, but it might not be that easy?]

Is it harder than building a shelter?

[About, maybe, yes!]

The protective array is something from the cultivation world. With Fang Ruotang's current strength, it's not difficult for her to draw. However, this mind-reading talisman is a doodle from Fang Ruotang's prime. It's like the same math problem; a middle school student and a college student will have different approaches to solving it.

Fang Ruotang has never taken on any apprentices, so she will not deliberately abandon her usual techniques and switch to simpler ones that even beginners can understand.

Her little gadgets were so casual that she never even thought they would get out. She just made whatever was convenient for her and whatever she was used to. Even if they were simple, it didn't mean she was eager to learn.

Does Xiao Liu know this himself?

The adults knew, but she didn't really care.

Once Cui Shixu understood Fang Ruotang's meaning, he didn't ask any further questions.

Besides, although he didn't like others hearing Fang Ruotang's thoughts, they had already been revealed for so long, so a little more wouldn't make a difference. There was no need for Fang Ruotang to make a difficult effort.

He drew several more protective formations. Seeing Fang Ruotang's pale face, he wished he could take her place, and he was even more reluctant to let her do anything risky.

Anyway, this is just the beginning.

The future will always provide a solution.

Is there any way to recover sooner? At least we'd have the ability to help Xiao Liu; right now, the six of us look like useless trash.

I didn't think so before, after all, the six of them had been running around to help Fang Ruotang recover her soul, and even conquered two powerful countries in just a few months.

But this time when they went out and saw Fang Ruotang busy with everything and they couldn't do anything, they felt really inferior. As a grown man, even if he didn't have to protect the woman he loved, he should at least have the strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with her!

Cui Shixu had just established a connection with the little mirror and hadn't been able to control his thoughts well. The little mirror heard all of his words and chuckled coldly before replying.

[What are you thinking! You six are nothing but trash in front of the Master. The Master has only recovered this little bit of strength, and you already want to be like him? Just wait! Once the cultivation world connects to this plane, things will be much better. After all, you are different from the Master. The Master's soul was damaged, while your cultivation was suppressed. Once you go to the cultivation world, your threshold will be raised, and your abilities will become stronger.]

The little mirror's disdainful tone left Cui Shixu speechless. He didn't want to humiliate himself by asking any more questions; it was just the way things were anyway.

Hearing noises coming from the yard, he simply got up.

He put on a cloak, opened the door, and went out.

"Are you ready to leave?"

With dark circles under his eyes, Gu Yanjin stared blankly at Cui Shixu. Compared to Cui Shixu, who had indulged in pleasure the night before, Gu Yanjin seemed more like a person who had been indulging in debauchery. Looking at the other four, they all had the same indulgent expressions.

Cui Shixu didn't laugh at him. Anyway, the synesthesia wouldn't be lifted, and soon he would be one of the five people. The eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother.

When no one answered his question, he asked again.

"Shall we set off now?"

Gu Yanjin withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's do it later! Xiao Liu must be tired. Let her sleep for a while and we'll talk about it when she wakes up."

Cui Shixu recalled the special instructions Fang Ruotang had given him when he went to sleep early that morning.

“No need. I’ll carry Xiao Liu to the carriage and let her sleep there. Anyway, the shelter here has already been built, so let’s set off directly,” Cui Shixu said, adding a sentence.

"This was requested by Little Six. She said that we couldn't let her sleeping delay our journey. If we ran faster, we could build more shelters along the way before the monsters attacked, and save more people."

Cui Shixu spoke of this with a mixture of pride and heartache.

The other five people remained silent for a moment, then busied themselves in unison. Before long, they were all ready, and the group set off. Fang Ruotang was wrapped in a large cotton quilt by Cui Shixu and carried onto the carriage.

Upon seeing this, Fang Shengtang frowned and instructed, "When you're out and about, don't go too far. Take care of Xiao Liu's health."

“Okay, big sister.” Cui Shixu said somewhat awkwardly.

Although he provoked Gu Yanjin and his group of five last night, he was mindful of Fang Ruotang's health and never intended to cause trouble all night, but...

Sometimes plans can't keep up with changes.

He hadn't expected such a young girl to have such good stamina. He had his pride too! The girl had challenged him to a fight; if he didn't accept, wouldn't he look like a weakling?

It wouldn't be good to leave such an impression on the young girl on the first time. Would he still have the chance to serve her in bed in the future?

However, Fang Shengtang is the little girl's favorite older sister, so Cui Shixu still has to respond to her, at least outwardly, so as not to cross the little girl's taboos.

Inside the carriage, as soon as the cloak was removed, all five men stared at the scratch marks on Cui Shixu's neck.

"Tsk, he only cares about his own pleasure and doesn't care about the little cutie's health at all." Huo Zhige's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Cui Shixu touched the scratches on his neck, which were from when Fang Ruotang couldn't help but scratch him during the fiercest fight. The scratches on his back were even more interesting.

"You've served Xiao Liu before, so don't tell me you're in control in bed?"
