Yuxi looked down at the gem and thought to herself, "It really looks like a necklace... It's pretty cool."

Kai looked at Yuxi and said quietly, "Don't throw it away even if you don't like it."

Yuxi was surprised: "Why would you throw it away? You really like it."

I added in my mind: "After all, this is a gem after all. It would be nice to sell it for money, right?"

Kai smiled and responded: "As long as you like it."

Yuxi suddenly thought of something: "Should I give him something in return? I feel like this is taking advantage of him."

An idea suddenly occurred to him: "Oh yeah, let's buy him some equipment."

But as soon as he had this thought, the system immediately poured cold water on him.

Ding——[The equipment has been given as a gift (I gave Endless Battle Blade when I killed the demons at the Great Wall before). If I give it as a gift again, it will not provide any equipment attribute bonus.]

Yuxi's heart skipped a beat: "In other words, the new equipment is no different from ordinary armor in his hands?"

Ding——【That’s right! 】

Yuxi was a little frustrated: "Since it's useless... I might as well just give some money."

Take action immediately: "System, withdraw 1000 gold coins."

Feeling the weight in her pocket suddenly increase, Yuxi nodded with satisfaction.

He stretched out his hand to Kai: "Brother, stretch out your hand."

Kai was puzzled: "Huh?"

Yuxi didn't allow any explanation and took out a handful of gold coins from her pocket and stuffed them into Kai's hands, not stopping until her pocket was empty.

Kai stared blankly at the hand full of gold coins.

Yuxi said generously: "Here, take the flowers."

Kai shook his head: "I don't need the money."

Yuxi nonchalantly retorted: "That's because you didn't have money before."

He enthusiastically suggested: "When you have money you can go to the market and buy whatever you want."

Kai looked at Yuxi closely and said calmly, "What I want cannot be bought with money."

Yuxi felt confused by the look on her face.

Kai then put the gold coins back into Yuxi's hand, leaving only one.

"One is enough. I appreciate your kindness."

Yuxi was unwilling to give up: "Then do you want a shield or armor or something like that?"

Kai flatly refused: "No."

Yuxi had no choice but to put the gold coins back into her pocket.

Yuxi put the gold coins away carefully, then stood up and looked towards the desert in the distance.

As the sky gradually brightened, a chaotic smoky gray color enveloped the entire desert.

Kai asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"

Yuxi didn't look away: "Has Prince Lanling been to the Great Wall recently?"

Kai was silent for a moment, then replied, "I have been here."

Yuxi asked, "What are you here for?"

Kai explained: "I came to draw a blueprint for Jialuo."

Yuxi was puzzled: "Drawings?"

After a brief search, it dawned on me: "Oh... astrology chart."

He sighed, "He's still trustworthy. I didn't take the 1000 gold coins from Garo for nothing."

Kai was worried and asked, "Are you... going to go find him?"

Yuxi shook her head and said disapprovingly: "I'm not bored."

He sat back by the campfire and looked at the crying monster who was already fast asleep.

Kai was still staring at the campfire, seemingly lost in thought.

Yuxi broke the silence: "Brother, I heard that you have recruited a new sniper."

But Kai seemed distracted, so Yuxi called out again, "Brother?"

After Kai came back to his senses, he asked confusedly, "What?"

Yuxi asked with concern: "Are you very sleepy?"

Kai admitted slightly tiredly: "I'm a little sleepy."

Yuxi suggested: "Then go to bed. You probably haven't rested for a long time."

Kaixian hesitated: "But it's almost dawn now."

The voice was low: "I don't want to lie down in bed."

Finally, with a look of longing in his eyes, he asked, "Can I lean on your shoulder and sleep for a while?"

Yuxi didn't care, shrugged and said casually: "Okay, you can lean on it."

Kai smiled triumphantly, stopped being polite, leaned his head on Yuxi's shoulder, and soon fell asleep.

Yuxi felt something strange at this time: "Why does it feel weird?"

"Also, no matter how close I get, I can't feel him breathing... It's a bit scary."

He stood stiffly, waiting for Kai to wake up.

When the sky brightened and the morning light covered the sand, Kai still did not wake up.

Mulan and other guards passed by one after another, and in the morning light, the camp gradually became lively.

"Yuxi?" Hua Mulan noticed him.

Yuxi responded: "Uh...Captain Hua."

Hua Mulan laughed: "Hahaha, you're back."

"Yeah." Yuxi nodded.

Hua Mulan said excitedly: "I hired the cook you mentioned!"

"His cooking is really delicious..." She continued to praise: "I have never eaten such delicious food."

Yuxi was curious: "Is it so delicious?"

"Yes!" Hua Mulan said confidently, "You can eat it today. I guarantee you will want to stay at the Great Wall after you finish eating it!"

Yuxi was amused: "Then I really have to try how delicious it is."

Hua Mulan waved at Kai who was still sleeping: "Hey... wake Kai up to have breakfast. Why is he sleeping on your shoulder like a little wife..."

"Hahaha…"

Yuxi laughed out loud and thought to herself: "Little wife? What a ridiculous metaphor..."

"Have you ever seen a young wife who specializes in removing people's heads?"

He turned his head to look at Kai, only to see him sleeping on his shoulder defenselessly. His moonlight-like silver hair looked a little fragile against his cold white skin, and his long eyelashes fluttered like wings.

Yuxi sighed inwardly: "What the hell? Kai actually looks a bit pitiful after falling asleep..."

"Brother, wake up." Yuxi called softly.

Kai opened his eyes immediately, and when he woke up he was fully awake.

"what happened?"

Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself, "Sure enough, it was just an illusion just now... It's so scary."

He coughed lightly and said, "Team Hua asked us to have breakfast."

Kai nodded: "Okay, wait for me here for a while."

"I'll go back to my room and put on my soft armor."

He stood up and walked towards his residence.

"Oh."

The Yingying monster flew to Yuxi's shoulder.

Soon, Kai also put on his soft armor and came out, leading Yuxi to the fortress where they had to eat.

When they arrived, the other team members were already sitting at the dining table, enjoying their morning meal.

When Jialuo saw Yuxi, she quickly greeted him: "Yuxi? Long time no see!"

Yuxi responded with a smile: "Haha, it wasn't that long."

Jia Luo asked: "What do you want to eat?"

He suggested, "I'll get it for you."

Yuxi declined: "No need...Kai has already gone."

On the other side of the dining table, Baili Shouyue noticed Kai's arrival: "Ah Kai, here you are."

Kai responded simply: "Yeah."

He said to Baili Shouyue, "Shouyue, two servings of beef rice."

Baili Shouyao smiled and handed him two bowls of beef rice.

Kai took the food and thanked him politely: "Thank you."

As he put the food on the table, Yuxi kept looking at Baili Shouyue.

Yuxi thought to herself, "Bai Li Shou Yue and Xuan Ce really don't seem to be from the same species."

"Bai Li Shou Yao's tail and ears look fluffy and soft..."

"He doesn't look like that wolf cub Xuan Ce at all. His hair is standing on end."

Kai noticed Yuxi's gaze and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Yuxi said bluntly: "Look at the tail."

Kai frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "You are not allowed to keep looking at it."

Yuxi wondered, "Why?"

Kai stared at Yuxi closely: "It's impolite."

Then he called out, “Come and eat.”

Yuxi took a closer look at the beef rice in front of her. The beef was piled up like a small mountain.

"It smells so good! There's so much meat..." He couldn't help but exclaim.

Yuxi didn't think too much, just picked up a piece of beef and put it into her mouth. The meat was smooth and mellow, fat but not greasy. The freshness exploded in her mouth, and it was delicious.

"Fuck...it's so delicious!" Yuxi couldn't help but swear.

Kai encouraged him: "If it tastes good, eat more."

Yuxi exclaimed: "This is amazing! It tastes better than any meat I've ever eaten!"

Hua Mulan interrupted: "Shou Yue's cooking is really delicious, right?"

"Yes!" Yuxi said without hesitation.

He exclaimed in his heart: "No wonder Xuan Ce misses his brother every day..."

"If this were my brother, I would think about this every day too!"

Hua Mulan pressed on: "For such a delicious meal, you have to join the guards, right?"

"Yes!" Yuxi answered casually.

Hua Mulan smiled triumphantly: "You have just agreed to join the guards."

"Everyone heard it, right?" She looked at the others.

Jia Luo: "I heard it."

Su Lie: “I heard that too.”

Baili Shouyue: "Actually, I heard it too."

Although Kai remained silent, his eyes revealed strong expectations.

Yuxi was speechless: "You guys..."

Hua Mulan looked at him with satisfaction: "You can't possibly deny what you just said."

Yuxi retorted: "Why do you want me to join the Guard so much?"

Hua Mulan responded firmly: "Those who have guarded the Great Wall together will eventually return to the Great Wall."

"What a crap theory!" Yuxi said in disbelief: "Don't be ridiculous."

Jialuo asked softly: "Yuxi...are you angry?"

Yuxi retorted: "I'm not angry."

"Just don't trick people like this!"

Jia Luo comforted him: "You may not believe it... This is how I joined."

Yuxi couldn't help laughing: "What the hell is it that I feel like laughing..."

Then he said firmly: "No matter what you say, there is no way I will join."

Several people suddenly became quiet.
