“It will take at least ten days.” She looked up and glanced at the people around her, and said, “Yi Beixuan and Fan Xuanye, please help. Xiong and Su, you two will help string the seaweed together.”

"Pfft—"

Hearing her words, Yi Beixuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Wow, that's a bit hurtful.

[Yeah, putting Su and Black Bear Sister together is a bit insulting.]

[What's wrong with you guys? Would Brother Mu insult Su? He's definitely saying that because he's worried about his health.]

Anyway, I've got my heart set on shipping them. Don't any of you think Su Mu is easy to ship?

It's so hard to do, so hard to do! Even a dog would bark if it came and said, "I can't do it!"

Hey upstairs, hide your piss! What are you, a nobody, yelling about here? Your place is the real struggle, the most difficult place to live in!

“Okay.” Su raised an eyebrow and nodded in agreement without taking it seriously. Others might be unhappy, but he felt incredibly good.

His dream is to be a lazy bum, content with being unemployed and not needing anyone's help.

[Huh, he just agreed so openly?]

I'm speechless. If they had even a shred of shame...

Mu Qingyun glanced at the screen and then noticed something was wrong with the comments. She frowned, looked up at Su, and said, "You're not feeling well, I..."

“I understand.” Su interrupted her in time and smiled gently at her: “Don’t worry about what they’re saying, I understand.”

"Okay." Relieved to receive such an answer, Mu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and continued working on the house.

While they were working hard to build the house, Mu Xueyao and her friends finally found a spot by the rocks and were just about to rest when the comments section suddenly exploded.

[Your Highness, Your Highness, Mu Qingyun and the others are building a house!]

"Your Highness, they've built the house, and no one lives in that cave anymore."

[Yes, yes, this way Your Highness won't have to travel around so much. Although a cave can't compare to a house, at least it can provide shelter from the wind and rain.]

[Your Highness, my heart aches for you, sob sob. You, a hero of this planet, shouldn't have come here for the sake of the First Commander.]

"A house? They're building a house?"

Bai Feifei noticed the comments, exclaimed in surprise, and pointed incredulously at Mu Xueyao's small screen, her eyes showing not only surprise but also a hint of resentment.

Why, why wasn't she assigned to the same group as Mu Qingyun?

"What a joke, how could they possibly build a house? Is building a house that easy?"

Before Mu Xueyao could speak, Deng Yijie gave a disdainful snort.

[Your Highness, it's true, it was Kazel who helped them!]

Yes, Mu Qingyun seems to know how to build houses. They want to build seaweed houses, and Kazel helped them pick seaweed from the deep sea.

Kazel?

Upon seeing this name, Mu Xueyao frowned. Kazel had repeatedly claimed to admire her the most, so why was he helping Mu Qingyun?

She clenched her fists tightly and turned to leave.

"Where are you going, Your Highness?" Deng Yijie asked hurriedly as he watched Mu Xueyao turn to leave.

“Go find Kazel.” Her eyes turned cold, but her expression quickly changed from icy to aggrieved.

"Well... I'll go with you."

"No need." She didn't even turn her head, simply replying and quickening her pace.

Mu Xueyao left gracefully, leaving Deng Yijie and Bai Feifei looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Should we pursue them or not?" Bai Feifei didn't dare to make a decision on her own. She turned to look at Deng Yijie. She had always been a person without much of her own opinion and needed others to give her advice.

"Don't pursue her. His Highness must have something to do with Kazel. Don't interfere." Deng Yijie frowned and angrily threw the things in his hand on the ground.

He remembered that when he first came in, His Highness was very gentle with him, always showing concern for his well-being. But after being defeated by Mu Qingyun a few times, His Highness's gaze towards him began to change.

Even if His Highness tried to hide it, he could still tell that it was a mixture of disappointment and helplessness.

"You dropped your things." Bai Feifei looked at the things on the ground and cautiously reminded her.

But her reminder only earned her an angry glare from Deng Yijie: "What are you yelling about? Hurry up and pick things up!"

He vented his anger, and felt much better afterward.

"You!" Bai Feifei wanted to lash out, but considering Deng Yijie's status in the family, she ultimately swallowed her anger and squatted down to pick up the things.

...

The house was slowly being built. Mu Qingyun's forehead was covered in a thick layer of sweat, but her hands were already covered with bricks, so she didn't have time to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"If you're tired, take a rest." Su, who was standing next to her, quickly put down the seaweed in her hand, walked over to her, and reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"It's nothing." She shook her head, her hands continuing to move.

"You can take a bath in the water, the house won't be finished anytime soon, so you might as well come and rest for a while. If you die from exhaustion, you'll lose everything, not just the house." Kazel soaked in the seawater, leisurely watching them work, and couldn't help but smugly say something.

Upon hearing this, she glanced at Kazel indifferently and remained silent.

"Kazeel!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from not far away. Mu Xueyao stood alone not far away, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, as if she was about to cry at any moment. She looked so cute that it made people want to protect her.

Seeing her like this, a hint of impatience flashed in Kazel's eyes. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a scumbag who had cheated on this woman.

But considering the man's usefulness, he took a deep breath, braced himself on his arms, and leaped up from the seabed.

Upon reaching the ground, his fishtail immediately transformed into human legs, giving him a model-like physique, and he slowly walked towards Mu Xueyao.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"Kazeel, you're on our team, why aren't you helping us?" Mu Xueyao looked up at Kazel, gently tugged at his sleeve, and shook it slightly.

[Oh, is Your Highness being coquettish?]

[I really want to go inside and kill this merman, then His Highness will be mine, and he'll start acting cute towards me.]

[Don't even think about it, upstairs. You think you can replace Kazel by typing a few words on a keyboard? What a joke.]

[Your Highness, Your Highness, hehehehe, Your Highness is so beautiful, I love you so much.]

...

Kazel naturally understood the meaning behind Mu Xueyao's words. Concealing the coldness in his eyes, he forced a smile and asked, "Is there anything Your Highness needs from me?"

"Didn't I say that you can come to me anytime you need me, and I will do my best to help Your Highness?"

But Mu Xueyao was not moved by his words. "Why are you helping others? They are our competitors, after all."
