After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 661 Your Highness is One of a Kind

"Hmm," Yu Xia said, "It's not hard work at all."

She was just worried about whether Bello could handle it.

Every time she tried to calm the sentries, they would all seem completely drained, and some would even cry.

I wonder if sea creatures are that sensitive.

The sea creatures are basically immune to guide abilities. Even if her mental power works on them, given their thick mental defenses, she might not be able to effectively guide them.

She was also curious about how the sea creatures, who had no guides, managed to calm their minds when they became agitated. Did the upper-class royalty also use their mental powers to soothe them, just like she did?
Yu wanted to ask Bello this question directly.

Bello said, "The spiritual power of the upper-class royal family only serves as a signal connection between sea creatures, allowing lower-class members to enhance their energy and improve their self-healing abilities, but..."

Yu Xia: "But what?"

"It's nothing." Bello quietly moved his head down, close to her abdomen, gently arched his head, and then buried his face in it.

It was indeed soft and warm. Bello sighed inwardly.

“Your Highness is unique,” ​​he said.

Yu Xia felt that Bello had something to tell her.

Fine, if you don't want to say, then don't. Maybe there's something you can't say.

She also has her own secrets that she can't talk about, and she understands.

"By the way, Bello." Seeing that it was just her and Bello in the room, Yu Xia felt relieved and asked him, "I have something I want to ask you."

Bello lifted her head from her embrace. "What does Your Highness wish to ask?"

Yu Xia considered for a moment before asking, "Do you know Apertius?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Bello's reaction.

Bello slowly sat up straight. "I know, he was a famous ocean lord in the history of the sea people."

Historically? Yu Xia was stunned. Could it be that the Apertius she saw in Farrell's memories was from many years ago?
"Why did Your Highness suddenly want to ask him?"

Seeing the inquisitive and questioning look in Bello's eyes, Yu Xia figured she probably didn't know she was Apertius's daughter, so she made up an excuse: "I don't know much about the sea creatures. I've been studying their culture and history in my spare time lately. I heard that Apertius was the ocean lord ten thousand years ago?"

Bello nodded. "That's right, he was the first sea creature to form a bond with the Golden Bloodline."

Yu Xia asked in surprise, "You know about the Golden Bloodline?"

Bello couldn't help but flick Yu Xia's nose. "Of course I know, my little princess. Have you forgotten that our royal family speaks the Golden Language?"

Yu Xia: "But aren't the Sea Clan and the Holy City mortal enemies?"

Bello: "How can the Holy City compare to us?"

When the Holy City was mentioned, Bello's tone was somewhat cold, carrying the arrogance typical of the sea people.

Yu Xia lowered her eyes in deep thought. Bello said that Apesius, who was her father, was the first sea creature to form a bond with the golden bloodline, and that golden bloodline should be her mother, Leila.

Therefore, the Golden Language was passed down from the mother to the sea tribe.

But the fact that the Golden Language could continue to be passed down among the alien races must have been due in no small part to the efforts of his father, Apesius.

"The endless sea," Yu Xia murmured softly.

Bello's eyes flickered. "Your Highness, what did you say?"

Yu Xia looked up at him, "Do you know what the Endless Sea is?"

Bello: "The Endless Sea has a harsh environment and is a place of exile for the sea creatures. The Endless Abyss, the largest and most polluted area for the sea creatures, is located there."

Yu Xia suddenly understood; no wonder the sea conditions in Farrell's memory were so terrible. She continued, "How long can the sea people live?"

Bello said, "We are not much different from land people. In fact, we are from the same source. However, over the years, we have been affected by pollution and other factors, and have evolved into different forms. But our lifespan is not much different. Generally, it is about three hundred years."

Yu Xia: "What's the longest you can live?"

"The longest lifespan for royalty can be five hundred years, but there are exceptions."

Yu Xia's heart skipped a beat. "What exception?"

Bello: "Turtles can live for thousands of years, but only purebred turtles. Most of us sea creatures are mermaids, possessing some human genes, but our spiritual bodies are different sea creatures."

Bello smiled. "I know a turtle that's lived for almost ten thousand years. It's practically a spirit, and it can understand human speech. But it's just a turtle; it can't turn into a human."

Upon hearing about a tortoise that had lived for ten thousand years, Yu Xia immediately thought of Apertius.

She quickly shook off the strange thought in her mind. How could Apesius be a turtle? Then she would be a little turtle.

Bello asked, "Is Your Highness concerned about the lifespan of the sea creatures?"

Yu Xia asked, "Do you know how old Farrell is?"

Bello thought for a moment, "I'm not quite sure how old Farrell is, but he's probably around 150."

Yu Xia pondered, "Then Selius and Farrell should be about the same age."

In Farrell's memory, both Farrell and Serius appeared as teenagers.

While the exact age of an adult sentinel may not be apparent, it is still easy to distinguish between childhood and old age.

Upon hearing this, Bello was somewhat surprised and suspicious. His Highness had suddenly mentioned the King's age. Did His Highness know something?

Bello's expression darkened for a moment, but he raised his lips slightly. "Your Highness, the King is in his prime. You don't need to worry too much."

"Worried?" Yu Xia smiled and said, "I'm not worried about his age."

Strictly speaking, she is much older than Serius.

Bello nestled her head into Yu Xia's arms. "Your Highness, I am younger than the King, so you don't need to worry."

With the concerted efforts of all factions within the Federal Empire, the logistics base established a powerful defensive magnetic field, isolating alien species and contaminants and ensuring the safety of the guides.

However, defense cannot rely solely on instruments; it also requires continuous patrols by sentries and the powerful mental shielding provided by guides.

The Federation had previously deployed a group of Sentinel Legions to conduct cleanup and defense, but without the mental interference of the Guides, alien species still managed to invade.

Normally, the sentries could settle down anywhere without any problem, but with a guide, they couldn't be so careless and sloppy.

With a guide by their side, the sentries' survival rate can be greatly improved.

However, there were simply too few guides, and within just three or four days, most of them were exhausted.

Yu Xia was also exhausted. After the defenses were established, the sea creature sentinels returned one after another.

Almost every sea creature sentinel showed some degree of mutation, their eyes glued to her.

Even though they were all her subordinates, Yu Xia sensed a dangerous aura emanating from them.

The way they looked at her was strange—respectful and devout, yet also with a predatory aggression.

Yu Xia could only offer mental comfort; she couldn't possibly provide the same level of emotional support to every sea creature as she had to Bello.

"Let me hold you a little longer."

As soon as Metis returned, he hugged Yu Xia tightly and wouldn't let go. Yu Xia buried her face in his strong chest muscles and could hardly breathe.
