The lifeless figure, a jade-inlaid clay statue, stared blankly at the little cat below the steps...

Staring at its lively, emerald cat eyes that seemed to contain the vitality of the whole world.

"Meow-chan, let's go!"

In the distance, Yan Huan's voice rang in the depths of the mind, seemingly discovering that Meow-chan hadn't caught up, prompting the first verbal reminder.

"Woof!"

Hearing this, the black cat immediately turned its head and quickly let out a bark.

Then, without looking back, it raised its tail and cheerfully trotted to catch up with Yan Huan's gradually disappearing silhouette.

...

...

"Ding ding dang dang!!"

"Dong! Dong!"

"Please make way, everyone, please make way!"

The entrance to Shenxiang Village was crowded with villagers. Yan Huan, holding An Le by the hand, squeezed out from the crowd, watching the road that would take a week to dig manually being leveled by countless machines, gradually revealing a narrow road.

Everyone watched, and Yan Huan was not in a hurry. He seized the rare free time to start a brainstorming session.

Of course, about the "Crab Medicine."

Two hours, without involving any modifier factors, he must actively kiss the other four modifier hosts...

And it's a French kiss!

To save An Le, he had to kiss four people who were currently his enemies...

The more he thought about it, the stranger it felt?

Yan Huan didn't have time to delve into the malicious humor of the idea, hastily considering its feasibility.

First of all, accomplishing this task isn't actually hard.

The difficulty lies in landing smoothly after it's done.

Don't even mention if Ye Shiyu finds out that within two hours his lips became "shared lips," she'd explode. Even if Spencer and Sakuragi Hitomi found out, Yan Huan would also feel uneasy.

But glancing at An Le's limbs beside him, Yan Huan gritted his teeth and decided to temporarily set aside morality, quickly contemplating a strategy.

No other options, everyone will just have to bear a little more, and Meow-chan will take the blame!

"Meow?!"

Yan Huan, stroking his chin, began considering the specific plan.

First, two hours might seem like a long time, but the issue is, each host must necessarily go through three essential processes.

A heartfelt process that makes the kiss rational, a process that rationalizes departure post-kiss, and a transitioning process.

So, the order of kisses needs to be carefully arranged first.

Logically, the host with whom the goal is most easily achieved and landed smoothly should be first, reducing the risk of explosions afterwards.

Therefore, the correct order should be Spencer, Sakuragi Hitomi, Bai Yi, and Ye Shiyu.

This way, after kissing the possessive Ye Shiyu, he can get the Crab Medicine.

Next, the locations of the kisses need to be carefully arranged.

The people should be close enough, making transitions easier.

But not too close, or they'll easily notice each other's existence, causing explosions.

Yan Huan's eyes flickered slightly, instantly thinking of a suitable place.

A bustling commercial center would be ideal.

Close proximity, lots of buildings, lots of people... the perfect location.

As long as he meets the four girls in different places within the two hours, he's likely to succeed.

Just...

It's a bit of a test of Yan Huan's time management skills.

After all, you can't just arrange a meet-up for a kiss and then say goodbye, right?

Even if foolish Spencer can't see through it, he might still be hurt.

Also, if you rush to the next event, what if the previous host breaks up and runs into the next host?

That would be an explosion within an explosion.

Yan Huan believes in the "Law of Conservation of Luck."

Last time, he had a lucky break, sending old Sakuragi off with one firework.

This time, he predicts he'll be unlucky, an iron-fisted African.

He's certain that if he dares to let anyone go, the next kiss will definitely get intercepted by the previous host.

So, after the kiss, you can only leave temporarily, keeping the person in place...

"..."

Thinking this way, Yan Huan gradually realized how disgusting the method to get the Crab Medicine actually is.

And what surprised him even more is that it's his first attempt at "thinking about time split management" and his thoughts were astonishingly clear...

As if he was born with a talent in this area, able to even notice some details.

Could it be...

Tsk, it must be all Meow-chan's fault!!

"Meow?!"

Yan Huan, stroking his chin, thought this way, while Meow-chan on his shoulder lifted its paw, pointing at itself in disbelief.

"Rumble!"

"Xiao Huan, the... the road is open!"

Just at this moment, during the few minutes of his contemplation, the road blockage before him was finally cleared by large machines.

These engineering machines had an irresistible beauty, since childhood, Yan Huan loved collecting models of these excavators, trucks, and cement mixers.

It is exactly this powerful strength contained in machinery that allowed humanity the innate talent to reshape the world with ease.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Indeed, what took a week of manual labor was done by the machines brought in from Fukuoka Prefecture in a morning.

The dust stirred by the cleared road turned into a mist, surging towards Yan Huan and An Le, making them cover their mouths and noses, slightly coughing.

Coughing, Yan Huan struggled to lift his gaze towards it.

Amidst the smoke and the mechanical roars, as the breeze swept away the mist, a holy light seemed to shine down.

Yan Huan tightened his hold on An Le's hand, raising his hand to block the dazzling morning light...

And in the next second, within that morning light, appeared a scene that seemed like a fantasy to Yan Huan.

In Yan Huan's fantasy, his one true love would be a peerless hero, one day clad in golden armor...

Ahem, wrong channel.

Yet before his eyes, the person who appeared, whether or not a peerless hero was unclear, but indeed small in stature.
