Jun Ye lay on his back, looking puzzled, finally meeting the Little Recluseās gaze as he propped himself up with one hand to examine the quantum beast.
āā¦ā
This was embarrassing.
Xiu Si placed the awakened quantum beast on his shoulder, carefully cradling the dazed guide in his arms, gently rubbing the back of his head and asking, āDoes it hurt?ā

Jun Ye didnāt answer, but instead tried to snuggle into Xiu Siās embrace.
Pretending to be close to his partner and then falling off was just as stupid as that sea rabbit. It was too embarrassing. Let him bury himself in the sandā¦ No, calm down, in his chest muscles.
With a soft click, the sea rabbit fell onto Jun Yeās head, puffing up and sitting up straight, its two little antennae swinging threateningly.
Jun Ye paid no attention to the soft cartilaginous creature on his head. His partnerās chest muscles naturally belonged to him. The fact that the sea rabbit had been living on them for so long without being blown up was already commendable enough.

Xiu Si silently raised his hand and lightly touched the sea rabbitās antennae. The sea rabbit instantly stopped puffing up and pitifully grabbed Xiu Siās fingertip, climbing up.
As he gently comforted his guide partner in his arms, Xiu Si looked at the quantum beast climbing his finger with a gentle gaze, feeling almost overflowing with satisfaction.
It seemed like something was missing. Where was his quantum beast?
Looking around, Xiu Si suddenly felt that it was better if that guy wasnāt here. So he lay down with the guide in his arms, and began the absurd time of embracing them from both sides.
āYouāre afraid of water?ā Jun Ye buried his face in Xiu Siās chest, resignedly lying on top of him, one hand pressing down the small bump he had just hit, while asking.

Xiu Siās chest rose and fell, and he closed his eyes to steady his breathing before saying, āYes, I wonāt go to the training with you and the quantum beast for a while.ā
He had noticed at noon that there were several simulated rooms on the top floor of the training room, where he could train to overcome his fear of water next to the guideās simulated room.
When he left the military academy and served in the guild, he could refuse underwater combat missions, so he hadnāt cared about his fear of water.
It was also because he had never thought that he would be combined with a guide with a marine quantum beast. A guide with a marine quantum beast would naturally love water. For the sake of his guide, Xiu Si wanted to try to overcome it.
āOkay,ā Jun Ye leaned down and kissed the Little Recluseās lips, caressing his bottom lip and saying, āYouā¦ wait for me to come back and pamper you.ā

āMmā¦ā Xiu Si looked at Jun Ye with a complicated expression and murmured softly.
The guide was so innocent. He didnāt even know that the proper way for a sentinel to enter a guide was. He had already stolen a thorough body combination once. Should he continue to deceive him?
He should tell the guide the correct way of combining and tell him that his body couldnāt handle it. They couldnātā¦
Xiu Si thought about his sore legs when he got up, about the guideās trembling cough in bed last night, and about the guide praising him for being very powerful when he did squatsā¦
If he said these things, everything would be over.

He really didnāt want toā¦
Thinking like this, Xiu Si felt the guideās fingers sliding over his cheek. Then there was a sudden pain, a pain that was more teasing than painful.
Jun Ye withdrew his hand that had just pinched the hard cheek of the sentinel, propped himself up, and said, āWhy are you still here? Itās dark outside, arenāt you going back?ā
Xiu Si touched the part of his face that the guide had pinched.
It was both numb and tingly.
Xiu Siās throat moved slightly, thinking that he should let the guide steal one more time. After tonight, he would explain to the guide.
After dinner, they brought back the black bird that the empress had taken to train swimming.
Jun Ye stood in the bathroom, reaching out to test the water temperature in the bathtub.
The most important first stepā¦
Xiu Siās gaze fell on Jun Yeās neck, simulating in his mind how he would help the guide undress later. He had to be gentle but also quick, so as not to let the guide catch a cold.
The air was too hot and dry. Xiu Siās Adamās apple bobbed as he reached up to loosen his tie.
Jun Ye turned off the water, about to turn around.
Xiu Si couldnāt wait any longer. He walked up eagerly, reached out, and hugged the guide, whispering, āLet me help you undress, baby.ā
With that, he pressed his hand against Jun Yeās collar.
āNot so fast,ā Jun Ye said, holding the large hand under his neck. āYou go in first.ā
Without much thought, Xiu Si stepped back and quickly removed his clothes, then stepped into the full bathtub.
The overflowing water wet Jun Yeās feet. Xiu Si half-lay in the bathtub, silently reaching out to Jun Ye.
Jun Ye reached out and pinched the collar button that the Little Recluse had half undone.
The guideās bathtub was certainly not big, and the muscular sentinel lying in it couldnāt stretch out, let alone a guideā¦
Xiu Si voluntarily spread his legs, propped them up on the edge of the bathtub, and made more space for the guide.
Jun Yeās gaze fell on the sentinel who kindly made room for him, sensing that the first step of this overcoming would be very difficult.
Supporting himself on the sentinelās legs against the bathtub wall, he climbed into the bathtub.
Jun Ye squatted in the available space, the warm water spreading to just below his chest. With the guideās help, he pulled the sentinel down.
And then he leaned down and kissed him.
āMmmā¦ā Xiu Si hugged the guide in his arms, humming softly, satisfied.
The guide kissed himā¦
Huh? Why did the guide cover his eyes?
ā¦
The guideās little tongue slipped inā¦
Huh? Why was the guide pushing him into the water?
ā¦
The guide was entwining his tongueā¦
ā¦ Why did the air he exhaled turn into bubbles?
āCough! Cough, coughā¦ā
Xiu Si struggled in the water, his nose spraying out a large number of bubbles. Finally, he sat up abruptly, bringing Jun Ye up with him, both of them gasping for air.
Jun Ye, who had been hit by the sentinelās teeth, silently covered his mouth. āā¦ā
I have a cruse word involving your mom that I donāt know if I should say.
After calming his breath a bit, Xiu Si looked at Jun Ye with a slightly panicked expression and asked in a trembling voice, āBaby, why did youā¦ā try to murder your husband?
Jun Ye: āā¦ā
Forget it. Abandoning treatment.
Jun Ye looked at Xiu Si coldly. āLie back down.ā
Xiu Siās breath caught, feeling even more panicked, though his usual cold expression didnāt show it.
Xiu Si looked deeply at Jun Ye and, with forced calm, lay back down.
As the back of his head was about to sink into the water, it was grabbed by a small hand on his shoulder.
Xiu Si looked at the owner of the hand with surprise.
Jun Ye frowned slightly, seeming a little impatient now, and said, āLie down like you did at the beginning.ā
Xiu Si didnāt understand, but he still obediently complied.
Jun Ye gave another command, āPress your legs up more.ā
Xiu Siās heart skipped a beat, and a strange thought occurred to him.
He didnāt dare to think further or ask, but with a nervous feeling even more intense than lying in the water, he raised his legs up, pressing them to the extreme.
Jun Ye leaned down.
It had been a long time since they had been so close in the bathtubā¦
With such a well-behaved partner.
āGet a good grip yourself. I wonāt save you if you fall into the waterā¦ā
ā¦
In the swaying water, Jun Ye thought that overcoming the fear of water was just an excuse. What he truly longed for was the intimacy of being embraced in water.
I wonder if in the previous world, when Gu Jiaoxiu tangled with him, he also thought like this.
āMmm, ahā¦ Baby, are you tired? Hmmā¦ Do you want to rest?ā Xiu Si asked in a somewhat unfocused manner, intermittently.
āFull of energy.ā
āUgh, ah! Hmmā¦ā
ā¦
ā¦
The attempt to overcome the fear of water failed once again.
The next day, when Jun Ye woke up, he was completely limp.
Jun Ye couldnāt believe that he was massaging his sore waist, sore legs, and sore handsā¦
Damn, what a weak body!
Xiu Si rolled over, grabbed Jun Ye who was defenseless, and pressed him into his arms like a pillow, entwining him with both hands and feet.
Jun Ye: āā¦ā
Let go of your elephant-like hands!
Sigh, Iām already a useless fishā¦
After struggling for a long time but failing to break free, Jun Ye looked silently at the chest in front of him, revealing two rows of separated teeth1bite marks.
āMmmā¦ā Xiu Si hummed and hugged Jun Ye even tighter.
Xiu Siās eyes were still closed, murmuring in a half-dreamy state, āBaby, not enoughā¦ harderā¦ā
Jun Ye: āā¦ā
Iāll bite you to death!
The plan to bite to death didnāt succeed, but Xiu Si was teased until his body was flushed with heat, his brain a mush, drifting into unconsciousness to the extreme but oddly waking up again.
Upon initially opening his eyes, still feeling a bit groggy, he sensed unbearable swelling pain somewhere and instinctively rubbed it.
Mmm~ Much better.
Lowering his head again, Xiu Si saw the little guide, almost suffocating from being pressed against his chest muscles, his face red and ears almost crimson.
Xiu Si quickly backed away, feeling embarrassed but also experiencing a strange sense of pride, involuntarily puffing out his chest.
Jun Ye: āā¦ā
Already infuriated.
In the end, Jun Ye made the culprit do manual labor, enjoying a full-body massage.
Whether it was psychological or not, it actually made Jun Ye feel a lot less soreness on his body, as if a morning romp wouldnāt be a problem.
Of course, there was no morning romp. Jun Ye propped himself up to get out of bed and freshen up.
As his feet touched the ground and he tried to stand up, his left leg went weak, and he fell down directly.
The only thought before falling was: It must be psychological, how could that guy possibly give a massageā¦
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xiu Si promptly reached out and pulled Jun Ye, whose center of gravity shifted, into his arms.
Xiu Si let Jun Ye sit on his lap, silently giving Jun Yeās legs another massage, with a serious expression.
Jun Ye felt a bit uncomfortable and kicked his legs, breaking free from Xiu Siās hands, saying, āItās okay, just put me on the wheelchair.ā
Everyone, stop deluding yourselves, have some awareness of your skills.
Xiu Si remained silent but still got up, carefully carrying Jun Ye onto the wheelchair in a princess carry posture.
Jun Ye felt quite hot and bothered, especially since Xiu Si was usually reticent, so he didnāt feel anything amiss.
Still wondering when he had ever been so useless, just because he had fumbled in the bathroom a couple of times, he couldnāt even walk properly now, feeling embarrassed.
After helping the guide freshen up and having breakfast together, Xiu Si escorted the guide to the outdoor simulation training room.
When the Empress took over the wheelchair and pushed the guide inside, Xiu Si turned and entered the adjacent simulation room.
Without activating the simulation, he stood inside in silence for a long time, seemingly making a decision, and then opened his personal terminal.
The guideās body was too weak, even if combining with him in the usual way was difficult to bear. He couldnāt ignore the guideās condition for the sake of his own pleasure from combining.
Revealing the truth, even if the guide thought he was manipulative, even if he would be disliked by the guideā¦
He had already obtained two permanent bonds of union, even if the guide despised him, their lives were bound together, indelible.
Xiu Siās fingers landed on the video of the guideās initiation with the sentinel and transmitted it.
After turning off the terminal reminder, under the guidance of the Empress, Jun Ye, who was diligently communicating with the Quantum Beast, didnāt know that his sentinel had sent him a video of the initiation ceremony for adolescent guide sentinels.
Empress: āIn the communication with the Quantum Beast, both the guide and the sentinel can obtain information from it. However, deep communication with the Quantum Beast is the unique ability of the guide. When communicating deeply with the Quantum Beast, you need to imagine yourself as your Quantum Beast, simulating it in terms of appearance, habits, preferences, etc., in order to achieve a mind-body resonance.ā
ā¦
āStop,ā the Empress frowned, looking at Jun Ye, āYour subconscious is resisting your Quantum Beast, why?ā
Jun Ye stared at the sea rabbit spinning in front of him, took a long breath, and said, āSorry, I find it a bit hard to acceptā¦ā
Imagining himself as a sea rabbitā¦
Hermaphroditic, both gong and shou , fond of hosting large-scale group orgies one after another, and its attacking tool was disposable, detachableā¦
His lower body inexplicably hurtā¦
āIs it difficult to accept?ā The Empress looked at the information about the sea rabbit on the virtual screen.
ćSea Rabbit: Transparent thin shell on the back, usually white with a pearly luster. Body is oval-shaped, capable of deformation during movement. Two pairs of antennae on the headā¦ Changes color depending on the color of the seaweed it eats, and can perform photosynthesis by consuming seaweed to generate plant pigment chlorophyllā¦ć
Jun Ye fell silent.
Can I say that we have received two completely different versions of information about sea rabbits?
Jun Ye looked at the sea rabbit exhaustedly lying on the jellyfish umbrella hat, pondering whether the significant disparity between the information he obtained from the Quantum Beast and the records in the archive meant that this sea rabbit was unique, or if he himself brought memories from another world?
Regardless, resonating with this sea rabbitā¦ unless he was overwhelmed by Xiu Si again, emasculated once more, and perhaps had to grow back againā¦
Jun Ye shuddered and silently cut off his train of thought.
After half a day of training, Jun Yeās communication with the Quantum Beast went very smoothly, but in the end, he couldnāt even achieve shallow communication.
It was the first time the Empress encountered such a situation and was quite puzzled. She said to Jun Ye, āI need to go to the White Tower to find some information. During this time, spend more time with the Quantum Beast and make it closer to you.ā
Jun Ye obediently nodded and, in passing, wrote down the sea rabbit recipes he had sorted out in his mind, such as stir-fry, dipping sauce, cold salad, spicyā¦ etc.
Due to the setback in communicating with the Quantum Beast, the training ended early.
After the Empress left, Jun Ye stuffed the sea rabbit, which had attempted to escape, into his pocket and left the simulation training room.
Jun Ye set the wheelchair to automatic drive, then pulled out his personal terminal and opened the message reminder.
The terminal immediately vibrated, showing that the message was from Xiu Si. Jun Ye was somewhat surprised.
Just as he was about to click on it, he heard a click, and the door of the training room next to him opened, and Xiu Si walked out.
Jun Ye quickly stopped the wheelchair and watched as Xiu Si, with a pale and silent face, walked up. Jun Yeās eyebrows faintly furrowed, and he asked, āAre youā¦ hmm, in the ocean simulation?ā
āNoā¦ just the swimming pool,ā Xiu Si replied, holding his forehead.
His head was very dizzy, the scenes in his field of vision were shaking, and even the guide in front of him seemed to split into severalā¦
Xiu Si squinted, trying to see more clearly. He seemed to see the guideās legs turning into fish tailsā¦ It must be a hallucination.
āDonāt move,ā Jun Ye said, controlling the wheelchair to move next to Xiu Si.
Standing up, Jun Ye put one arm around Xiu Siās waist and held his arm with the other, helping him onto the wheelchair.
Jun Ye leaned down to wipe the sweat from Xiu Siās forehead, then loosened his tie and two buttons. After a moment of silence, he pinched the stiff face of the sentinel and asked, āSince weāre not going to combine in the sea, why are you pushing yourself to overcome your fear of water?ā
Xiu Si was much clearer-headed now, and upon hearing this, he fell into silence.
After thinking for a few seconds, Xiu Si reached out and pulled Jun Ye, who was standing in front of him, into his lap, stroked the guideās delicate and tender face, then let go and said, āYouā¦ take a look at what I sent you first.ā
Jun Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, then opened his personal terminal again.
The message from Xiu Si was a video link. Jun Ye felt a bit perplexed for a moment, as if he had also sent a video link to someone beforeā¦
With a slightly complicated mood, Jun Ye clicked on the link.
On the white screen were six words: āBody Integration Enlightenment.ā Jun Yeās expression paused for a moment, and he sneakily glanced at Xiu Si beside him.
Xiu Siās complexion was still pale, his eyes fixed on the screen, and his lips tightly pursed.
The sentinelās somewhat suppressed breathing seemed to echo in Jun Yeās ears, making him even more nervous. Perhaps this was the atmosphere needed for watching videos?
Awww Xiu Si actually thinks that he manipulated Jun Yeā¦. when Jun Ye is actually more than fine with topping :ā) I wish theyād communicate more >//
