After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 669 We Are Not Cats

The noisy big cats quieted down.

All eyes were drawn to the little princess's hand holding her tail.

The sentry whose tail was pulled blushed instantly, and the tiger ears on the top of his head twitched rapidly a few times.

The little princess's touch was no different from a caress to the sentry; in fact, it was more real than a caress.

The sentry who had his tail grabbed felt like he was on fire, and his head was practically steaming.

He didn't know if he was ashamed for being caught secretly touching the little princess's hand with his tail, or if he was so excited because his tail was on her hand.

Yu Xia looked down at the black and yellow tail in her hand and flicked it twice. Under the pressure of everyone's gazes, it obediently lay still in her hand.

The surroundings were quiet, and the sentries stood or sat around the little princess, looking down at her. The atmosphere gradually became strange.

"I feel a bit hot," one of the sentries said.

"It is a bit hot, but the temperature dropped today, didn't it?"

When the sentry said it was hot, the other sentries found themselves sweating as well.

Arturo wiped the sweat from his brow, glanced at the temperature displayed on his terminal, and muttered, "That's strange. The temperature is quite low, only 5°C, and I haven't exercised."

Yu Xia's eyes darted around the group of big men, and she felt a little uneasy.

Intuition told her that she had to leave now.

She couldn't smell the sentinels' pheromones, nor could she smell her own, but with the sentinels so close, their distinctive masculine scent and sweat rushed into her nostrils.

I can't say whether it smells good or bad, but it makes me feel a little dizzy, as if I've been subjected to some kind of mental attack.

She subconsciously touched the back of her neck. Since entering the contaminated area, she had been using pheromone inhibitors almost every other day.

There shouldn't be any pheromone leakage, right?

Yu Xia was unsure.

Every sentry around her felt hot, but no one thought it was because of her.

While they were still relatively normal for the moment, Yu Xia said, "Aren't you hot getting so close together?"

Upon hearing this, Arturo and the surrounding sentries suddenly understood.

"Yes, yes, why are you all so close?" Arturo laughed and nudged his companions on either side. "Stay away, turn your pheromones down, don't bother the little princess."

The sentries reluctantly took a small step back, their eyes constantly glancing at the petite figure in the middle, their gazes filled with doubt and a sense of bewilderment.

That look made Yu Xia start to sweat.

She was certain that these sentries with their keen sense of smell had detected something on her.

She's been having such a smooth time lately thanks to suppressants and her disguise that she's forgotten how the golden bloodline is, for people in polluted areas, like an oasis for a traveler on a long journey through the desert—naturally attractive.

"Vice Captain, why aren't you moving?" A Tiger Division sentry saw Arturo sitting behind the little princess, his bottom not moving an inch from beginning to end. Moreover, he had just seen the vice captain secretly rubbing his tail against the little princess's hair!
Arturo glared at him. "Me, like you?"

The sentry was about to say something when Arturo raised his fist, indicating that he would beat him up if he spoke again, so the sentry had no choice but to shut up.

“Land beasts have such high body temperatures, I don’t know how you guys can stand it. Won’t you get brain damage from the fever?” Yu Xia added deliberately, her delicate brows furrowed as she asked, “Don’t you need to find a guide?”

After saying that, she stood up. "Your pheromones are giving me a headache. I have to go back and find the guide to give you a proper cleansing, kitties."

Yu Xia, as always, displayed the arrogance of a sea creature, hoping to leave smoothly.

Seeing that she was about to leave, the sentries instinctively made way for her, but after taking half a step back, they stopped, and the sentries on the outer perimeter filled the gap.

Yu Xia was shrouded in the shadow of the sentries, with walls of muscular chests in front of her.

At this moment, Yu Xia's mind raced, trying to decide whether to lose her temper directly, talk to them nicely, or temporarily appease them and call for reinforcements.

Before she could think it through, Arturo suddenly grabbed her arms and lifted her up into the air.

Yu Xia was caught off guard by his sudden action and stared at him blankly. "We're not cats."

Arturo's throat bobbed, his voice rough like gravel.

Yu Xia tensed defensively, but before she could speak, a clear and gentle voice broke the increasingly heated atmosphere.

"Put her down, Arturo."

The human wall formed by the sentries parted to both sides, revealing the tall and agile figures of the sentries standing on the outermost layer.

Second floor reception room.

Yu Xia sat on a single sofa, her gaze fixed on Sentinel Vic, who was making tea across from her.

The room was not brightly lit, with only an old-fashioned table lamp on the table.

The steam from the hot water made Vic's face appear hazy.

This former captain of the Holy City Guard felt somewhat unfamiliar to her.

Memories of her past with him flooded Yu Xia's mind. From the moment she learned to climb the inner city walls of the Holy City, Vic had been a part of her life.

It wasn't a particularly special memory. When I first met him, he was just an ordinary guard. There were countless sentinels like him in the Holy City.

Vic rarely interacted with her, and whenever he encountered her, he would pretend not to see her.

She met him so many times that she became somewhat familiar with his face.

But they still didn't interact much; Vic didn't talk to her, and she didn't pay much attention to him either.

Aside from the higher chances of him being spotted climbing walls, sneaking out, or going out, he wasn't much different from other Holy City sentinels.

They all stood silently, like the tall stone pillars of the holy city, their presence strong yet taken for granted and not given much attention.

Vic slowly brewed tea, trying to lighten the mood so the little princess wouldn't sit so straight and could loosen her clenched fists on her knees.

But the blood-stained combat uniform he hadn't had time to change out of didn't make Yu Xia feel much more at ease.

The lightweight combat suit clearly outlined his muscle definition.

Compared to his subordinates, his muscles were more symmetrical and smooth, making him more aesthetically pleasing.

Yu Xia noticed that his combat uniform was somewhat different from that of the Tiger Division, and the badge on his chest was not a tiger head, but two interlocking circles.

This is the sentry mark under Harrison's command.

A large circle encircles a smaller circle, and the smaller circle is empty, containing nothing.

Yu Xia stared at the badge, thinking about Harrison's lack of a spiritual body.

He has no spiritual body, and the sentinels he trains have no souls; they are all mere shells at his disposal.

"I'm sorry, they frightened His Highness."

Vic placed the brewed hot tea in front of Yu Xia, interrupting her thoughts.

Yu Xia didn't reply, but picked up her teacup and took a sip.

is sweet.

She put down her teacup, her expression showing a lack of interest.

Vic sat down on the sofa to her right, seemingly unconcerned about her likes or dislikes of the tea.

"You seem to be always very busy?" Yu Xia said.

She has hardly seen him since their last duel.
