Chang Yao yelled, "Shen Qiqi, get up!"

A hand emerged from under the eaves of the porch and lazily responded, "Yeah."

"Don't just lie there!" Chang Yao walked out of the house holding a basket of herbs. "If you have nothing to do, help me sort out these plants!"

Shen Qiqi yawned, her long eyelashes drooping, her face tired, and she was lying on the lounge chair like a boneless person.

"Master, I don't want to move...I have no strength," Shen Qiqi said.

Chang Yao laughed, "You young people have no energy."

"You don't know, I was traveling down the mountain a few days ago, couldn't sleep or eat well, and was leveling up and fighting monsters every day, sleeping in the wind and rain..." Shen Qiqi rubbed her cheek and sighed. "Do you see? I've lost weight!"

She felt like she could just lie there like this forever.

Chang Yao said, "That's even better, get up and exercise." He stuffed the bamboo basket into Shen Qiqi's arms without saying another word. "Hurry up, don't lie down!"

Shen Qiqi muttered quietly, "Why are you like my mother..." and then slowly sat up with the speed of one millimeter per second.

At that moment, Liu Shuang walked past her, carrying a bucket of well water, her sleeve rolled up on her arm, revealing a small section of white flesh like a lotus root.

Shen Qiqi turned her head and subconsciously reached out a hand to her, "Senior sister, give me a hand. I can't get up..."

Liu Shuang looked at her but didn't reach out her hand, asking, "Are you very tired?"

Shen Qiqi sat there for two or three seconds before sleepily nodding her head.

Liu Shuang took the basket from her, "Then you sleep, I'll help you."

Shen Qiqi immediately lay back down, smiling at her with half-closed eyes, "Hehehe, I knew Senior sister was the best--"

Chang Yao stood with his hands on his hips, "Xiao Shuang, don't spoil her too much, let her do something!"

Liu Shuang reached out and rubbed Shen Qiqi's head, "She really hasn't slept well these past few days, let it go."

Shen Qiqi smiled foolishly, swaying from being rubbed.

Chang Yao shook his head and could only glare at Shen Qiqi. "Forget it, do whatever you want."

"Master, I'll just take a quick nap..." Shen Qiqi raised a finger and whispered, her volume getting lower and lower until she was silent, and soon after, the sound of her snoring filled the air.

Liu Shuang draped a piece of clothing over her and tucked her restless hands and feet inside before picking up a basket and walking to the middle of the field.

Chang Yao furrowed his brow slightly, his expression complicated. "Xiao Shuang..."

"What's wrong, Master?" Liu Shuang turned to look at him.

"The poison on your face," Chang Yao observed her, "is it alright?"

Liu Shuang paused for a moment before slowly nodding.

Chang Yao hesitated before speaking again. "I've made a pill to suppress the poison. You should keep it." He took out a small silver-blue bottle from his pocket and handed it to her carefully.

Liu Shuang's gaze was clear as she reached out with both hands to receive it earnestly. "Thank you, Master."

Chang Yao then looked at Shen Qiqi, who was sleeping in a not very honest position, and hesitated. "You and her..."
