After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 635 What Compensation Does Your Highness Need?

A meeting only for the Holy City Sea Clan?
Yu Xia thought to herself that there shouldn't be anything too special, otherwise why didn't the other factions participate?

It was just a routine meeting.

Yu Xia didn't pay much attention, since Bello and the others would tell her the contents of each meeting anyway.

Now she's more worried about where she lost her terminal.

Was it left in the car, or was it taken by someone?

"Master, you've arrived."

The sound of the chair being dragged brought Yu Xia back to her senses.

She turned her head and saw that Fren had stood up and given his seat to Canulius, who had arrived at some unknown time.

Canulius sat down beside her, carrying a full plate of food.

"your Highness."

Canulius greeted Yu Xia with a smile, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be dining at the restaurant."

Seeing his impeccable expression, Yu Xia pursed her lips slightly and played along, saying, "It really is a coincidence."

Canulius glanced at the food on her plate and asked, "Does Your Highness find it palatable?"

Yu Xia: "These are the only foods I don't like to eat."

Despite saying that, she wasn't picky at all and didn't think the restaurant's food was bad.

Bellulu, sitting opposite her, was picking at the food on her plate, looking like she had no appetite.

The other guides in the restaurant also had a poor appetite. The poor conditions in the polluted area were one thing, but the polluted environment also affected their appetite and mood.

The guides suffer both physical and mental damage, and the pressure is immense, especially considering they have to channel the mental energy of a large number of sentinels every day.

Yu Xia could also feel the same as the guides—their mental state was affected by pollution, and they felt anxious and frustrated.

But her tolerance was probably higher than theirs, or perhaps she had gotten used to it; those negative feelings turned into appetite, making her very hungry.

"I don't know when we can go back." Bellulu stirred the paste in her plate. Seeing Yu Xia eating so well, she also became a little hungry and stuffed some food into her mouth.

"You're already thinking about going back before we've even entered the contaminated zone." Camos chewed on a steak, the most common food in the border region, and also one of the best. He tapped Bellulu's plate with his fork. "There won't even be hot water in the contaminated zone, let alone this. If we don't eat this, there won't be any for the next meal."

After he finished speaking, the guides sitting around him all looked over.

The guides usually sat together and did not eat with the sentries of their own faction.

Whether they were guides from the watchtower or the White Tower, they would keep their distance from the sentries, and the sentries would consciously give up the middle space to the guides.

The guides felt even more pressured after hearing Camosis's words.

Belluru kicked Camossis. "You're a Sentinel, strong and healthy, of course you're not afraid of the contaminated zone."

Camossis: "Although we Sentinels are physically strong, our mental defenses are weak. You don't understand the pain of mutation, especially for us dragon Sentinels who are more prone to mutation."

"Talk less and eat more," Canulius said to the two of them, and put the meat from his plate into Yu Xia's bowl.

He also pushed a bowl of bone broth, with the bones removed and only meat remaining, to Yu Xia's side.

He didn't waste the bone either; he ate it himself, chewing the hard bone with a crunchy sound.

Yu Xia paused in her eating, glanced at Canulius, and pretended not to see him offering her food.

The two sea creature guards behind her frowned deeply, wanting to throw away the food that Canulius had given to the princess, but they were afraid of disturbing her meal.

The two thought to themselves, "His Highness definitely won't eat the food given by the Long family. Look, His Highness doesn't even want to talk to us."

The three of them, including Fren, exchanged glances as Canulius calmly handed food to the little princess. Their expressions were quite interesting, and their minds were in turmoil.

So that's why Canulius asked them to reserve seats!
Belluru kept glancing at Canulius and the princess, noticing that they hadn't exchanged a single word since their initial greeting.

But the more this happened, the more she could sense something fishy going on.

She had previously thought it was just Canulius's wishful thinking, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Bellulu's gossip spirit was burning brightly. She kicked Camos under the table and winked at him: What did I tell you?

Camos pursed his lips and couldn't help but glance at Yu Xia a few times.

Of all people to like, his second brother had to fall for a sea creature, especially a sea creature princess.

No, it's the sea queen, she already has a partner!
Isn't this just asking for trouble for the dragons? Putting aside what will happen to the sea princess, those irritable mermaids alone will be enough to give them a hard time.

Camos thought to himself, his second brother was definitely not normal since he was a child. If it were his eldest brother, he would never have fallen for someone else's partner.

Fren felt an even bigger headache.

He had previously held onto a sliver of hope that Canulius might have deliberately approached the sea princess because she resembled the previous "account thief."

He was now certain that Canulius truly loved her.

He watched Canulius grow up and knew his temperament all too well.

This is going to be difficult.

Of all people, why did Canulius have to like a sea creature?
Yu Xia was unaware of the inner thoughts of the people exchanging glances; all she wanted to do was finish her meal and go find her terminal.

Tomorrow they'll be entering the contaminated area, and she still needs to contact Flock and the others. Maybe once they leave the North Sixth District, they'll have a signal.

At that moment, a virtual screen popped up on Bellulu's wrist. Bellulu tapped on the virtual screen:
"I'm at the restaurant. Are you feeling better? I'll bring you some food later."

Yu Xia watched as Bei Lulu had a video call with someone, her gaze falling on the terminal in Bei Lulu's hand.

She paused, staring intently at the gold wristwatch-shaped terminal on Bellulu's wrist, which bore the Long family's logo, and confirmed that it was indeed the terminal.

"The terminal has a signal?!" Yu Xia couldn't help but ask.

Bellulu ended the call and, upon hearing the princess's question, laughed, "Yes, the signal was restored around noon, Your Highness, didn't you know?"

Yu Xia was horrified.

She ate lunch and then went to sleep. By then, the terminal was probably lost. Little did she know!

“Look, it’s the guide from the Holy City.”

“And the Ivys are here too.”

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the restaurant. At the same time, a mental force landed on Yu Xia, gently stirring her consciousness.

Yu Xia looked up and saw the people from the Holy City walking towards her.

Upon seeing the holy city of Ivi, the guides' earlier dejection vanished, their eyes lit up, and they were very excited.

Bellulu stood up, but Camos pressed her down again. However, he couldn't help but look at Ivy.

Yu Xia didn't see Raphael inside and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the mental energy fluctuations just now were brought by other people from the Holy City.

Suddenly, someone gently kicked her under the table.

Yu Xia tilted her head slightly, then stopped talking to Kanulius when she thought of the two sea creature guards behind her.

The long leg under the table kicked her again, its toe tracing a gentle rub up her calf.

Yu Xia gripped the spoon tightly and moved her leg to the side.

But someone's long legs followed hers, hooking her ankles and wedging them between her feet. "."

She turned to look silently at Canulius, who smiled faintly at her. "Your Highness, would you like to come and observe our Dragon Clan tonight?"

Upon hearing his words, Camos and the others' attention was drawn back.

They all thought to themselves, "See? See? They're about to take action."

Before Yu Xia could speak, Raphael's voice echoed in her mind, "Come over after you finish eating."

"." It turned out that the mental fluctuations she had just experienced were not an illusion; Raphael had indeed linked with her.

“No.” Yu Xia: “My people are watching me, I can’t leave.”

"Your Highness?" Canulius hooked her foot again, his smile growing even deeper.

Yu Xia took a slow breath, about to speak, when a figure walked up to her. "Your Highness, may we talk?"

She looked up and met a pair of jewel-like emerald green eyes.

After not seeing him for a few days, Alex had lost some of his usual laziness and gained a more murderous aura. His long silver-black hair was tied back, and his white and green combat suit made him look tall and straight.

"What are we talking about?" Yu Xia asked, snapping back to reality.

Alex took another step forward. "Let's talk alone."

He paused, then said, "I'd like to know about our two guides from the Snake Tribe."

Yu Xia glanced sideways at Kanulius beside her and said, "Okay."

Perfect, this gave her a reason to refuse Canulius and Raphael.

With so many people watching her, and both of them wanting to see her at the same time, if she agrees to see them, she might not be able to leave one of the rooms tonight.

Just as Yu Xia stood up, he heard Canulius say, "I look forward to Your Highness coming to my Dragon Tribe for observation."

"."

A lounge on the first floor.

Yu Xia sat down on the sofa, and a cup of hot tea was placed in front of her.

Alex, still leaning forward, pushed the teacup forward slightly. "Your Highness, please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Being close by, Yu Xia could smell a faint scent of alcohol on him, the same as the red wine scent she had smelled on him in the past.

This is a guide element commonly used by Alex.

She glanced up at him. Alex was still using the guide essence? Didn't he ever seek guidance from a guide to regulate his mental imagery?
Seeing that she didn't move, Alex picked up the teacup and handed it to her.

Yu Xia saw his emerald green eyes looking at her. Although they were normal pupils, she couldn't help but think of his mutated state.

She took the teacup, unconsciously shifted her body back a little, and took a sip of tea while holding it with both hands.

is sweet.

The slightly bitter and slightly sweet tea was exactly what she liked; it even had milk in it.

Yu Xia took two more sips, put down her teacup, and didn't show much liking. "They are both safe in our sea tribe base. The leader can rest assured."

Alex stared at her face for a moment, then slowly straightened up, his hand still resting on the back of the sofa behind her. "Your Highness, has anyone in our Serpent Clan recently offended any of the Sea Clan?"

Yu Xia paused, then said, "No."

Alex looked down at her, pacing back and forth beside her, his gaze fixed on her. "Since our Serpent Tribe has not offended the Sea Clan, why did Your Highness capture our guide?"

Yu Xia could feel Alex's gaze fixed on her, and she subconsciously sat up straighter. "At the banquet that night, those two were disrespectful to me, Princess. I think your subordinates have already told you about it."

These past few days everyone has been busy with the evacuation mission in the North Sixth District, and the Snake Department hasn't come to talk to her about Gemini's matter, nor have they asked her for her people.

She knew how troublesome the Geminis could be, and guessed they must have done a lot of annoying things during their time in the Serpent Tribe.

Otherwise, given how much the Serpent Clan lacks guides, even if Alex didn't come to ask, the other sentries would have.

Alex: "They offended the princess. What compensation does the princess want?"

Yu Xia: "Compensation? The compensation is that the two of them followed our sea tribe into the polluted area. After the polluted area is cleaned up, I will return them to the Snake Tribe."

Alex's gloved hands rubbed against the back of the sofa behind her. After a moment, he placed his hands on Yu Xia's back and leaned close to her. "This is not compensation. Your Highness, would you like something else?"

His breath brushed against Yu Xia's cheek as he spoke, making the aroma of red wine seem to intensify.

Yu Xia tilted her head, her nose almost brushing against his face.

Her breath hitched slightly, and she wanted to dodge to the side, but then she thought that if she dodged, it wouldn't be in line with the personality of a sea princess.

So she frowned and said, "Stay away from me."

Alex stared at her deep blue eyes for a moment, then his gaze slowly moved down, scrutinizing every inch of her face before settling on her full, luscious lips.

He rolled his throat slightly, his mouth watering, and saliva was secreted rapidly.

Alex suppressed his breathing, trying to slow it down as much as possible.

"I apologize, Your Highness, for my offense." Alex struggled to pull himself out of her presence and slowly straightened up.

"Since I have offended Your Highness, what kind of compensation does Your Highness require?"

As Alex spoke, the hand behind her moved, its fingers tugging at a strand of hair behind her head.

Yu Xia, oblivious to the situation, said, "No need, this princess lacks nothing."

Yu Xia stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Alex watched as a strand of blue hair slipped from his fingertips, feeling a pang of regret.

"Why is Your Highness in such a hurry to leave?"

Alex placed his hand on her shoulder and pressed down lightly, making her sit back down.

His tall figure loomed over her, creating an invisible constraint with every movement.

Yu Xia smelled the alcohol on him and felt a little dizzy. She couldn't help but ask, "How much pheromone did you take?"

Alex kept his hand on her shoulder without moving, and said, "Not much, Your Highness doesn't like it?"

Yu Xia: "It's suffocating."

"Is that so?"

Yu Xia heard him say this softly, and a moment later, the sound of a zipper being unzipped came from behind her.

Then came the rustling sound of clothes being undressed.

"."

A few seconds later, Alex tossed a combat suit jacket onto the sofa beside him, then sat down next to Yu Xia. "Your Highness, smell me again. Do I still smell of alcohol?"

He was wearing a combat vest, which accentuated his muscular physique.

Alex draped his long arm over her back and leaned closer.

Yu Xia realized what was happening, placed her hand on his chest, and felt her ears burning.

When did Alex become so unreserved?
