After finishing the work outside, Si Shuo's family left Si Teng and the Clock Vine to watch the house, then used a Teleportation Talisman to return to the valley.
Xu Chi and Xiao Cheng took turns guarding Beast City, while the one off-duty joined Ji Liang in the valley, busy harvesting the crops.
Si Shuo sat in the shade of a tree at the edge of the field, an array of snacks laid out beside her. She admired the impressive figures of her men as they worked—their muscles gleaming in the sun, sweat tracing paths down their skin. It was a sight she could never tire of, and it certainly whet her appetite.
As the eldest son, Xu Ye was in charge of watching his younger siblings. One moment he would be helping his Father with the work, the next he'd be chasing butterflies. When he got tired, he'd stop for a snack. He was quite busy, and far happier and more energetic than when he was cooped up in their home courtyard.
