"So, the illness on Fu Ling's body has been resolved?"
Jue crossed her arms, her delicate brows slightly raised, looking at Zane who had just jumped out of the domain of sound with a half-smile.
But her gaze drifted, intentionally or not, toward Zane's right hand, only to quickly move away in less than a second.
Zane naturally didn't notice her small movement. He casually raised his right hand, "That illness is inside my right hand now."
Jue hesitated for a moment, her gaze once again landing on Zane's right hand as she asked in a low voice, "Do you feel any discomfort?"
There was a faint trace of concern in her tone.
Of course, for someone like Zane, that bit of concern was basically the same as nothing.
"Doesn't seem like anything special…" Zane shook his right hand as a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"But this doesn't conform to the law of conservation of energy, does it? Logically speaking, if I absorbed something that doesn't belong to me, shouldn't I feel something?"
Looking at Zane who had fallen into deep thought, Jue's mouth twitched slightly.
'This is Solaris, where would conservation of energy even come from?'
But thinking about it, it was understandable. After all, too many strange things had happened to Zane. Just a mass of abnormal energy probably wouldn't cause any big waves.
Just as Zane and Jue were both thinking, a sudden "thud" exploded beside them.
Startled, the two quickly turned their heads and saw Fu Ling kneeling on the ground, crying like pear blossoms in the rain.
Although Fu Ling loved Wu Li more than herself, if she could live and go through hardships together with him, who would be willing to die?
After all, how many people in this world truly do not fear death?
"Thank you both for saving my life… Fu Ling has nothing to repay you with…"
"Stop!" Under Jue's puzzled gaze, Zane hurriedly interrupted Fu Ling.
"Next, are you going to say that a humble girl is willing to devote herself to me? But if that happens, wouldn't I become a thief? Our family is upright and honorable, I can't fool around behind Rover's back."
"No, no, absolutely not!"
Although Fu Ling didn't know what Zane meant by "thief," it didn't stop her from understanding his meaning.
The next second, Jue turned her head away with a face full of black lines, not wanting to look at this guy anymore.
It was her first time seeing someone talk about being afraid of death so righteously.
After spending a few minutes, Jue carefully examined Fu Ling's body from top to bottom. Only after confirming that there was no longer that abnormal frequency in her body did she finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
At this moment, Zane suddenly slapped his own head as if he had just realized something, his face full of regret.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Jue's expression changed. Thinking there was something wrong with his body, she hurriedly ran to Zane's side and grabbed his right index finger, biting it into her mouth…
'…Wait, do all Sentinels check people's bodies like this?'
Suppressing the urge to complain, Zane showed a regretful expression, "We have a doctor, don't we! She's an expert in the medical field. If someone can help do the work, why should I do it myself!"
The surrounding time seemed to freeze for a moment.
Jue didn't expect Zane to be regretting this. Thinking that she had anxiously checked his body because of this, her small feet wrapped in white stockings awkwardly curled.
Unable to hold it in, she immediately opened her white teeth and bit down hard on what was in her mouth, causing Zane to suck in a sharp breath,
"Hey, are you a dog? Why are you biting me!"
"Serves you right for still not being serious at a time like this, I'll bite you to death!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Zane suddenly became wide awake. "You said you're going to 'bite' me to death?"
For some reason, Jue felt that the way Zane emphasized the word "bite" sounded a bit strange, and the smile on his face seemed to carry some ill intent.
So she let go of his finger and replied with a bit of confusion, "Yeah? What's wrong?"
Zane didn't expect that as a Sentinel, Jue would have such a clueless side. The smile on his face grew even wider.
Meanwhile, Fu Ling blushed and turned around. Although she was dying from illness, she still understood these things a little.
"It's nothing, I just want to know, when you 'bite' me, do you also do it in front of Rover?"
Jue naturally didn't understand why Zane asked this. But when she thought of the Executor's murderous gaze, she couldn't help but shiver,
"Unless necessary, I would naturally avoid doing it in front of the Executor."
Hearing this explanation, Zane deliberately dragged out his tone and let out a long "Oh."
"So that means, you usually avoid Rover when you bite me, but under certain conditions, you would bite me in front of her, right?"
Jue was completely confused by Zane's questioning. Looking at his bright and cheerful smile, she was almost certain that he was setting a trap for her, but she couldn't figure out where the problem was.
She was so flustered that even the jade-colored dragon horns representing her authority as a Sentinel suddenly appeared on her head, yet she still stammered, unable to answer.
After completing his daily mission, Zane let out a comfortable sigh. Then he reached out and rubbed the two small buns on top of the little girl's head.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Where did Rover go?"
According to the usual pattern, somewhere in a dark corner around him, a Rover should randomly spawn, then raise her scabbard and give his smart little head a hard smack.
Just like a reward you get after completing a daily mission.
"Executor?" Hearing Zane mention Rover, Jue also calmed down, and the pair of jade-colored dragon horns on her head quietly disappeared.
"She said she was going with Changli to investigate the abnormal temporal flow in that cave. She left just when you entered the domain of sound."
Hearing that Rover was with Master Changli, Zane immediately stopped worrying. If she was with Master, nothing would happen to her.
Anyone who could make Master Changli suffer hadn't even become a fertilized egg yet.
Although Rover had maxed out combat power, for some reason, like many protagonists, she had a soft personality and would never refuse others' requests for help…
Rather than worrying about whether Rover would suffer a loss following Master Changli, it was more realistic to worry about whether Master Changli would get completely carried off by Rover, taking everything along with her.
'If something like that really happened… That would be absolutely amazing!'
Jinhsi was busy with government affairs and had no time to deal with him; Sanhua had to act as Sister Jinhsi's bodyguard and also had no time to chase him; as for Yangyang and Chixia, they couldn't control him at all.
Looks like his wonderful new life was about to begin.
Far away at the Dragon Spine of Mt. Firmament, Rover sneezed.
"What's wrong? Caught a cold?" Changli glanced at Rover with a half-smile. "Or is there some little guy thinking about you?"
Rover rubbed her nose and turned to look at Changli. When Zane was around, she didn't feel anything, but now that she was alone with Changli, she suddenly found herself not knowing what to do.
It was probably the same feeling as a son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law.
Not knowing what to say, Rover chuckled twice and raised her swift blade, charging toward the group of Fractsidus in front of her.
It was the first time she felt that the Fractsidus, who could spawn anytime and anywhere, were actually this friendly, the kind of friendly where their internal organs spill all over the ground.
