Xiu Si instinctively tightened his legs to prevent the soft quantum beast from falling down into the gap between his legs, his body stiff and tense, as if facing a great enemy.
Jun Ye chewed on the meat slices cut by the Little Recluse, his eyes fixed on a certain ugly rabbit floundering between the Little Recluseâs legs, his smile gradually fading.
He really wanted to wrap that ugly rabbit in breadcrumbs and deep fry it until golden brownâŚ
The quantum beast flapped a few times but failed to climb onto Xiu Siâs legs. Its little ears on top of its head twitched, and it changed direction.
Scratching at Xiu Siâs pants, it crawled along the seam toward the base of his leg.

Jun Ye: â??!â
Damn it! This is intolerable!
Jun Ye suddenly reached out and snatched the slippery soft rabbit from between Little Recluseâs legs. He stuffed it into the pocket at his waist and zipped it up.
With lightning speed, Xiu Si felt his legs go weak. When he turned to look, Jun Ye was already calmly drinking his porridge.

Lowering his gaze, Jun Ye noticed his guideâs pocket bulging and rolling.
Jun Ye glanced lightly at Xiu Si .
What are you looking at, confiscated!
His waist was bumped, and Jun Ye instantly turned around.
âDo you still want to steal it back?!

Huh? This jellyfish umbrella with shimmering blue lightâŚ
Jun Ye looked at the empress opposite him in surprise, and the empress moved his eyes slightly uncomfortably.
That kind of intimacy, he was actually a bit curious, didnât expect the quantum beast to be so disobedientâŚ
After some thought, the empress spoke up: âSince Haifeiâs quantum beast has successfully hatched, itâs time to hire a tutor to teach him how to use spiritual power and coordinate with the quantum beast.â
This time there was no need for hints. For the evening feeding, the emperor immediately continued, looking at Jun Ye: âThereâs no need to hire a tutor, your mother is the most suitable, having taught four classes at the military academy and being a lifelong professor at the White Tower. I think Haifeiâs quantum beast is also a marine creature, which is even more suitable.â

At the words, Jun Ye was stunned for a moment before he understood what the empress meant.
His⌠quantum beast?
Jun Ye turned his head in surprise, and the light blue jellyfish umbrella edge gently tapped his pocket. With each tap, the soft rabbit in his pocket gradually quieted down and curled up inside, motionless.
Seeing Jun Ye looking over, the jellyfish approached, nudging Jun Yeâs waist with the edge of its umbrella.
Was it asking him to let the soft rabbit out?

Jun Ye reached out and unzipped the pocket.
The jellyfish immediately floated closer, its tentacles gently swaying around.
The small bundle bulging in the pocket gradually moved, slowly crawling out and poking its head out from the opening, its two antennae-like small tentacles swaying.
Seeming to confirm that there was no danger, the little guy crawled out, quickly moving on top of the jellyfishâs large umbrella, and then leaped with all its might at the edge of the umbrella.
With a snap, it landed on Xiu Siâs leg.
Slowly standing up, leaning forward, it tumbled into the gap between his legs. Then, wagging its tail happily, it squeezed in completely.
The whole process flowed smoothly, with a technical proficiency comparable to a marathon performance.
Jun Ye: ââŚâ
Damn itâŚ
How could such a lewd thing possibly be his quantum beast?!
The soft rabbit curled up into a ball and nuzzled.
âSatisfied.
Xiu Si silently tightened his legs.
âThe quantum beast is so soft and cute, but Little Recluse is unhappy⌠and at a loss.
Jun Ye remained expressionless, surrounded by a low pressure.
âHeh, sliced and fried, you deserve it.
The jellyfish stiffened, surrounded by a low pressure.
âThe child was abducted, not happyâŚ
The empress cut the meat on his plate in half with one stroke.
âBoth my son and my sonâs quantum beast were abducted. I want to cut the sentinel.
The emperor looked around, quietly shrinking back, trying to minimize his presence.
âI hope I can survive tonightâs training.
After finishing their thoughts, they finished lunch.
Jun Ye put down his bowl of porridge, wiped his mouth leisurely, and then reached out and scooped up a certain quantum beast that had fallen asleep between Little Recluseâs legs.
Jun Ye held the quantum beast and sat back in the wheelchair, ignoring the frantic struggles of the soft rabbit in his hand. He looked at the empress and calmly said, âFather, please begin the quantum beast training.â
A certain quantum beast instantly froze.
The empress smiled and got up. âAlright, letâs go to the training room.â
With that, the empress walked behind Jun Ye, pushing the wheelchair out.
Xiu Si quietly followed.
Jun Ye glanced back and tightened his grip on the soft rabbit struggling to break free in his hand.
Huh, Little Recluse definitely has an affair with this soft rabbit.
He remembered that when the soft rabbit appeared this morning, it was lying on Little Recluseâs abdomen. And what did Little Recluse say at the time?
ââWhat did you use to bond with me?â
Damn it! Did he really think this soft and useless rabbit was the one making him moan?
Such a soft thing doesnât even deserve to qualify as a toy!
Although he was already so angry that he wanted to eat fried soft rabbit, Jun Ye still tacitly accepted Little Recluseâs presence.
How could he possibly be inferior to just a quantum beast?
The royal training room was called a âroomâ but was actually a whole building.
Taking the scenic elevator up to the top floor, it belonged to the area for mental training.
Upon entering the mental training room, the scene changed instantly, with a deep blue covering the entire room.
Surrounded by a simulated shallow sea environment, the ground was moist white sand, clusters of coral reefs, and occasionally colorful schools of fish swimming by, making even the air seem salty with seawater.
But this was just a virtual scene, and even though they were âunder the sea,â they could still breathe normally.
Jun Ye subconsciously touched his face, naturally not having gills.
Ignoring Xiu Si standing on the side, the empress explained to Jun Ye in detail.
âYou have been weak since childhood, and you have never been able to awaken your quantum beast even after awakening as a guideâŚâ
At this point, the empress paused for a moment, glanced at the tense-faced Xiu Si , cleared his throat, and continued, âWhen the guide and sentinel combine, the spiritual power will surge in a short period of time. This time, it should be your combination that successfully âhatchedâ the quantum beast from your spiritual domain.â
The empress said, âUsually, quantum beasts are born when a guide or sentinel awakens, and the awakening environment is often devoid of people⌠Your situation is somewhat special. The quantum beast âhatchedâ and saw both of you immediately. Itâs inevitable that it would be particularly close to your sentinel.â
Jun Yeâs mood was somewhat complicated.
It felt like having a child right after having intercourse with a partner one night, and damn, it was even he who gave birthâŚ
As for being particularly close to Little Recluse⌠it was indeed too close.
Jun Ye lowered his gaze and looked at the quantum beast he was holding. The soft rabbit seemed to know it couldnât break free, so it stopped struggling altogether.
At this moment, the quantum beast was standing upright, shaking its two little antennae on its head and acting cute towards Little Recluse behind him.
Itâs still so annoying. Clearly, itâs my partner, but he actually has to share with his own quantum beastâŚ
Jun Ye discreetly turned his head to look at Little Recluse, only to see him with a tense body and a pale face, still managing to force a smile at the soft rabbit.
Jun Ye furrowed his brow, propped himself up in the wheelchair, and walked quickly towards Xiu Si , asking, âWhatâs wrong? Where does it hurt?â
With a significant difference in size, Jun Ye could only hold Xiu Siâs waist with both hands for support. He looked nervously at Xiu Siâs increasingly pale face, his own expression showing a panic he didnât even realize.
Xiu Si , with a distracted look in his eyes, looked down at Jun Ye and struggled to say, âIâm fineâŚâ
The rest of his words were cut off abruptly as Xiu Siâs body swayed, and he directly fell to one side, dragging Jun Ye along with him.
Canât pull him backâŚ
As they were about to make intimate contact with the ground, Jun Ye instinctively twisted his body, slipping under Little Recluse.
The empress promptly stepped forward, one hand on each, easily stopping them from falling.
Watching her foolish son ready to use his weak body as a cushion for his sentinel, the empressâs face was as calm as water. It wasnât until he had sent Xiu Si to the medical bed that her complexion improved.
After the royal physician came out with the diagnosis, he smiled and said, âThis sentinel is fine. His body is very strong, but he has a deep-seated fear of water. Just avoid marine environments during simulated training.â
The empress nodded and then inquired about the situation in detail before seeing the physician off.
Jun Ye looked at Xiu Si lying on the bed with determined features, feeling somewhat absent-minded.
Fear of waterâŚ
The young master had never been in deep water, so he wasnât sure if the other person was afraid or not. Colonel Gu, in the previous world, had vowed to overcome his fear of water, practiced his legwork endlessly in the water with him tangled around himâŚ
And this time, it was different from the previous world. He wasnât a merman, didnât depend on seawater, and didnât need a partner to go into the water for him.
A partnerâs fear of water would at most mean they couldnât go diving together in the future. Besides, he himself was physically weak, so whether he could go into the sea was still a question.
The empress fell silent for a moment before saying, âStep by step, from bathtub to pool, then to swimming pool, and finally to the beachâŚâ
Jun Ye noticed a somewhat unusual redness on the empressâs face and suddenly understood. Did he and Colonel Gu fail to overcome their fear of water because they missed this initial step of the bathtub?
The empress coughed slightly, looking somewhat uncomfortable, and said, âYour quantum beastâŚâ
Glancing at the soft rabbit on Xiu Siâs chest, the empress continued, ââŚshould be a sea rabbit, one avian and one marine creature. Your compatibility is actually very low. In the future, you may encounter a sentinel with extremely high compatibility with you, or he may encounter a guide with even higher compatibility. Only if you have deep enough feelings can you maintain this relationship, and itâs not easy to stay together.â
Jun Ye suddenly realized something, feeling that the empress was talking about him and the emperor, marine creatures and terrestrial animals, with low compatibility. Isnât staying together very difficult?
Wait a minute, letting two hastily married people talk about feelings? Are you serious?
Jun Ye looked at Xiu Si , who was lying on the bed with closed eyes, and thought:
Unless⌠the target of my mission in each world is the same person.
The answer was actually very obvious, wasnât it?
Itâs just⌠hard to understand.
Wait⌠what did you say my quantum beast was?
Sea rabbit?!
Jun Yeâs expression suddenly froze on his face.
When Xiu Si woke up, the sky outside the window was gradually darkening.
Moving his slightly numb body, he vaguely felt something pressing against his right chest. Opening his slightly dazed eyes and looking down, he saw a fluffy little head.
Next to that head was a small, soft quantum beast curled up.
Xiu Siâs breath became heavier, feeling a heavy emotion surging in his chest, almost bursting out.
âMm-hmmâŚâ Sensing the change in the frequency of the âpillowâ movement, Jun Ye made a soft grunt, gradually waking up.
Before opening his eyes, he rubbed the strong back that was leaning against him, then stretched his body and lifted his head.
Before colliding with Xiu Siâs dark eyes, Jun Ye first saw the quantum beastâsea rabbitâless than half a handâs distance away from his face.
Silently moving a bit farther away.
With this move, there was a snap, and the head fell off Xiu Siâs chestâŚ
Heâs really jealous of his own⌠son (?)⌠I feel bad for the lil thing lol
