After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 668 The Big Cats

Tiger Villa.

Yu Xia sat on the carpet with various kinds of food in front of her.

The burly Tiger Guard sentries surrounded her, moved all the tables and chairs that were in her way aside, and kept putting food in front of her.

Her figure was lost among the group of sentries.

Each sentry kept a certain distance from her, worried about offending the little princess and making her, whose eyes were still red, cry again.

But there was also an inexplicable urge to get closer to her.

Damn, why does a sea creature smell so good?

The Tiger Guard sentries didn't understand, assuming it was just pollution affecting their sense of smell.

They didn't want to talk about this strange hallucination, fearing they would be ridiculed by their companions.

I couldn't help but stretch my neck, secretly sniffing the strange, sweet fragrance in the air.

"Come on, eat this. Soak it in hot water to soften it."

Arturo placed a box of soaked dried fruit in front of the sea princess.

"I have, I have cake."

A Tiger Division sentry squeezed halfway in and handed her a cake box no bigger than Yu Xia's palm.

The cake was covered with a thick layer of cream, giving off a sweet aroma.

Yu Xia's eyes lit up; she found it strange.

The contaminated area is difficult to enter and exit, and the weather is unpredictable, making it hard to preserve the cake.

I doubt you can get cake in the Holy City anymore. Even if you can, it'll be the vacuum-packed kind, not the fresh-looking, made-to-order kind.

The food here at Tiger Unit is so good, even the sentries get to eat cake?
Each sentry gave her his own portion of food, and Arturo's portion of dried fruit was considered a decent ration.

But compared to this cake that exudes a sweet aroma, it still pales in comparison.

"You little brat," Arturo grabbed the sentry by the neck, "where did you get this cake?"

The sentry blushed deeply. "It was given to us by Guide Lin. He said we should treat Her Highness the Princess well."

"I bet you wouldn't dare lie." Arturo then released the sentry's neck. The cake was only for the guides, and he had assumed the kid had stolen it from them.

Although he wanted to ask the guide for better food, he was reluctant to leave, and the little princess had a good appetite, eating whatever was given to her.

Arturo had the illusion that this seemingly delicate little princess was actually very easy to raise.

Yes, it's an illusion, it must be an illusion.

Look at that small frame, that temper, the way she can drive you crazy with just a few tears, how could she be easy to raise?
If it were him, he'd probably be afraid of melting them if he held them in his hands.

What's wrong with those sea creatures? How could they let their little princess suffer like that?

Arturo, while inwardly grumbling, handed the cake to the little princess, saying, "This was given to us by our guide, little princess. Try it; it's no worse than what your sea people have."

Yu Xia accepted their kindness, took the cake, and casually asked, "Do you have many guides?"

She was curious.

She had just taken a long walk outside and found that most of the sentinels had been corrupted by the contamination, becoming manic and prone to arguing or fighting at the slightest provocation.

The Tiger Tribe members looked much more normal, with fewer signs of mutation on their bodies. "Not many," Arturo said. "We only sent fifteen guides from the Tiger Tribe, but we're under General Harrison's command. He has more guides, and they're of higher rank, so he'll prioritize purifying our Tiger Tribe sentries."

Yu Xia fell silent. She had forgotten that Vic was Harrison's man, and Harrison had quite a few guides under his command.

These days she has been wary of Harrison and Charles, who have trained a large number of high-ranking Sentinels and Guides, as well as some Dark Sentinels and Dark Guides. She had seen many of them at Harrison's base on Setan.

But all she encountered at this outpost were ordinary sentries and guides; everything seemed normal.

Moreover, whether she was at the outpost or helping with the evacuation in North Sixth District, Harrison and Charles did not show any intention of getting close to her.

She was almost at ease with Harrison and his group.

Perhaps they genuinely didn't recognize her? Or perhaps, when she chose to sever her mental links with others, they were also affected and no longer remembered her?

Yu Xia wasn't sure.

But in any case, she has successfully entered the contaminated area, and even if they wanted to do something, they would be powerless to do so now.

Yu Xia turned her gaze to a large square table that the Tiger Division sentries had moved aside.

On the table is a strategic projection, which marks the areas and pollution sources that each faction is responsible for. The golden cursors are their logistics bases, the green ones are the areas that have been cleared, and the red ones are the pollution sources.

The dense array of red dots surrounding the golden cursor was quite intimidating.

The green-colored alien sites are still growing, but they have cleared the teleportation points that were already placed there.

Each faction proceeds to clean up the contamination in the area they are responsible for, and a teleportation point is placed once an area is cleaned up.

The Sea Clan advanced the fastest. After establishing logistical defenses, while other factions were resting and adjusting their strategies, the Sea Clan relentlessly advanced into two areas.

The speed at which the sea creatures cleared the area proved that Yu Xia's decision to switch areas with the Tiger Clan was correct, allowing her to approach the main nest as quickly as possible.

The Tiger Division is responsible for two areas along the main route. She came to the Tiger Division to find out how fast they were advancing.

She couldn't very well tell the sea creatures directly to clean up the area under the Tiger Tribe's jurisdiction as well.

If she did that, Farrell and the others would pinch her ear and ask her if she was siding with outsiders.

Yu Xia looked at the Tiger Division sentries surrounding her; they were all burly and robust, with a rugged yet honest air about them.

This was quite different from the elegant and composed demeanor of their leader, Vic.

After understanding their straightforward personalities, Yu Xia didn't beat around the bush and asked them directly.

She thought to herself that if possible, she might be able to exchange those two areas with them as well.

Even if we can't switch sides, maintaining a good relationship with the Tiger Division will make things easier later on. These big cats seem quite easy to talk to.

As soon as she asked, the big cats immediately began to recount their achievements on the front lines.

When it comes to fighting, their ears twitch excitedly and their tails wag wildly behind them, more like enthusiastic dogs than big cats.

Yu Xia's ears were filled with noise, and she had no idea who to listen to. Moreover, she had the illusion that they were getting closer and closer to her.

She realized it wasn't her imagination when a fluffy golden tiger tail lashed across her face; the big cat sentinels were practically touching her face!
Then a tail swept across her hand, but when she looked, the tail was gone.

Once you have the first tail, you'll have the second and the third.
These tails, whose origins were unknown, swept across her back, head, and hands, too fast for her to catch.

When a tail brushed past her lips, she suddenly realized that these big cats weren't as naive as they looked; they were doing it on purpose!
Yu Xia sensed a crisis, a boundary about to be crossed. She couldn't let things continue like this.

She seized the opportunity, grabbed a tail, and pulled hard!
