Chapter 681 Why do you seem to have grown taller?
"All right."

Yu Xia tied the end of the bandage into a bow, then held Miles's hand and examined it carefully again.

Miles looked down at the girl's earnest expression and smiled slightly, "It's very well bandaged, thank you."

Yu Xia looked up at him and said, "No need to thank me, you were injured because of me."

Miles had an urge to pat her head, and he subtly raised his other hand but refrained from doing so.

"Little puppy girl." Sula's voice came from the side.

She was strapped to a chair with restraints, and Miles's spiritual form guarded her, its enormous body almost filling half the room.

If Sula makes any untoward move, Black Wolf can tear her to pieces in one bite.

“It’s pretty.” Sula looked at the pink puppy’s face after it took off its mask. “That bitch Maki has a good eye for picking things up, finding such a pretty pink puppy.”

Yu Xia remained unmoved by Sula's praise.

Sula continued, "If it were me, I would like it too. You can be my sister. I would be a better older sister than Maki."

"Hey, little puppy girl!"

Yu Xia wiped the bloodstains off her hands with a towel and ignored her.

"Pink-haired little bitch!" Sula pushed off the ground with her foot, leaning backward but then regaining her balance and bouncing forward. She used the momentum to stand up.

The black wolf growled softly and pressed her back down with its large, thick claws.

Sula cursed a couple of times and said to Yu Xia, "Let me tell you, that red-haired bitch Maki won't come to see me. She'll just tell my people to get lost."

She gestured with her chin toward Miles. "It's better to let him go and ask. Maggie hired him."

Yu Xia picked up the energy pistol and pointed it at her head. "It's okay. If I can't get her here, I'll just take care of you first. That way, I can go find her in peace."

Sula sneered, rocking the chair back and forth by tapping her feet on the ground. "Want to kill me? Not so easy."

Yu Xia put the gun down. "It might be easier than you think."

Sura paused, "You're just going to protect that bitch Maggie like that?"

Yu Xia: "Of course, she's my older sister."

Sura: "I am Maki's older sister, and also your older sister."

Yu Xia: "How can this be the same? Sister Maki wouldn't call me Little Dog Girl or Pink-haired Little Bitch."

Sula let out another cold laugh. "What's her pet name for you? Tell me, and I'll call you that too."

Yu Xia didn't say that Maki liked to call her Little Flower, but it sounded a bit sarcastic coming from Sula's mouth.

Sura: "What, can't you say it? Is it too disgusting to say?"

Yu Xia, unmoved by her provocation, said, "I won't tell you."

Sura turned to look at her deputy, who was also tied to a chair, and snapped, "What did you bring back?!"

Walter slumped in his chair, glancing at them sideways. His gaze lingered on Yu Xia's face as he licked his dry lips. "She's the best 'thing'."

Yu Xia frowned as she felt his aggressive gaze.

Even though he was injured and tied up, he seemed even more excited than before, and his eyes disgusted her.

“Little Sentinel, come bandage me up.” Walter: “You shattered my kneecap, and my leg is practically broken in half.”

Yu Xia looked at his leg. Sentinels have self-healing abilities. Although they are not as good as the sea creatures, as long as it is not a fatal wound, the bleeding can be stopped quickly.

Walter's defenses were quite strong; she used mental interference when she fired, which allowed the bullet to penetrate his knee.

"How did you do that?" Walter asked. "We're all armored; this gun shouldn't have any effect on us."

Yu Xia: "If you talk any more, the other half of your leg will be broken."

"You've never killed anyone, have you?" Walter smiled, "You hate the smell of blood so much, let alone killing someone, even shooting someone would be difficult for you."

Yu Xia paused for a moment and glanced at him.

He's quite perceptive; he even noticed that.

Walter didn't miss a single expression on her face and said, "Knicks, is he also your lover? Who else is there besides him? Oh, right, your 'brother'."

He used the word "brother" in a flippant tone.

But he didn't see any annoyance or indifference on Yu Xia's face. She lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking or missing someone.

He noticed a subtle, indescribable expression on her face.

Walter's flippant expression softened slightly. "You really like Aug?"

After he finished speaking, Miles looked at Yu Xia thoughtfully.

"What kind of stuff do you like?" Sura asked, puzzled at first, then chuckled. "That stinky little dog, Aug? Tsk, what kind of taste do you have?"

Yu Xia pulled herself back to reality, looked at the two of them, and said, "I think I have good taste. Aug is very good."

Walter: "Tell me, what's so good about it?"

Yu Xia: "It's really good."

Walter: "He's so good, does your guardian know?"

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.

Yu Xia was slightly startled, but then calmly pretended to be clueless: "What guardian?"

Sula also asked, "What guardian?"

One of them spoke in a flat tone, while the other asked in a tone that seemed to ask, "What the hell?"

When Miles heard this familiar yet unfamiliar word, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. His first thought was whether Walter knew about the little princess's sea-kin identity.

Just then, a loud thud came from outside, interrupting their thoughts.

Someone kicked open the gate outside the courtyard, followed by a chaotic sound of fighting.

Yu Xia and the others turned to look at the doorway.

"What's that noise?" Sula listened intently for a few seconds before a tall figure gracefully landed at the living room doorway.

Yu Xia looked closely and saw it was Maki.

"Hi." Yu Xia waved to her.

Sula: "Heh, I thought it was someone else. You came and made such a fuss. You bitch, you'll have to pay for the damage you caused to my things."

Maki quickly glanced at Yu Xia, noticing the bloodstains on her sleeve and the sharp, red, scythe-shaped hand blade held horizontally in front of her. She coldly said to Sula, "Prepare to die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she flew up and slashed at Sula.

Black Wolf silently stepped back, making room for Maki.

Just before Maki's hand chop landed on her, Sura broke free of the restraints, her arm also transforming into a scythe-shaped hand chop to catch her attack.

The two sisters began fighting in the living room, their speed so fast that they were just afterimages.

Before Yu Xia could react, another figure appeared at the door.

The sentry standing at the door was panting heavily, covered in dirt. Yu Xia recognized him as Casey because of his tail and ears.

Casey and Nicholas Amuk were teleported dozens of kilometers away by the teleportation scheme orchestrated by Teleport Waters. Nicholas Amuk covered for him, allowing him to run back first.

Casey originally intended to go directly to Walter's territory to find Yu Xia, but the Knicks told him to go find Maggie first.

Casey, who had run back like a madwoman, was still not calm.

He first found Yu Xia in the living room, and after seeing the bloodstains on her, he bared his teeth and charged at Walter, yelling, "Die! You dead leopard!"

Walter: "."

Chaos reigned in the living room as sentries kept entering. The lights in the living room were broken, and in the pitch black, Yu Xia couldn't see who was who.

When Casey and Walter started fighting, Miles grabbed Yu Xia and quickly left the battlefield.

There was also a group of sentries fighting in the courtyard.

Miles held her in his arms and stood in the corner, with the black wolf guarding them. If any sentries approached, he would bite them and throw them away.

Yu Xia said, "It's really lively." Miles replied, "Yeah, young people are always so combative."

Yu Xia couldn't help but smile when she heard his serious tone.

"Are you making fun of yourself?" she asked, looking up at him.

Miles smiled and said, "No, that's not it."

Yu Xia: "I thought you'd be unhappy if they called you Old Wolf."

Miles: "Age is a fact, and compared to them, I am indeed very old."

“But don’t worry, I’m capable of protecting you,” Miles added.

Yu Xia looked at his handsome and sculpted face and really felt that he was not old at all.

However, after this experience, she realized that Miles had a very stable personality.

Unlike Knicks, he didn't have a trace of the thuggishness typical of mercenaries.

"Woof!"

The two large dogs, who were fighting, spotted Yu Xia and excitedly ran towards her.

Miles's eyes narrowed, and the black wolf spirit blocked their way, raising a front paw and letting out a warning growl.

The two large dogs stopped abruptly in front of it, pacing back and forth excitedly and anxiously, barking at Yu Xia.

Yu Xia recognized the two large dogs as the spiritual entities of Feng Yan and Xi Luo.

The black wolf lunged forward again as a warning, and the two large dogs were intimidated by its imposing presence, retreating and slowing down the swishing of their tails.

The intimidating presence of the alpha wolf forced them to submit.

“Miles, they are my friends.” Yu Xia patted Miles’ arm. “Put me down.”

Miles looked at her feet. "Your feet aren't healed yet. They're too excited and might hurt you if they don't control their strength."

Yu Xia said, "You'll help me control them, right?"

Miles paused for a moment, then put her down, and the Black Wolf spirit also stepped aside.

The two puppies immediately pounced on her. Miles, afraid that Yu Xia would be knocked over, reached out his hand to block them. He glanced at them, and they whimpered defiantly, but still obediently sat down in front of Yu Xia, nudging her with their heads.

Yu Xia smiled and patted their heads one by one, "Long time no see, Feng Yan, Xi Luo."

When her name was called, Feng Yan's Doberman spirit sat up straight, displaying its usual calm demeanor, while Shiro's German Shepherd spirit happily stuck out its tongue and licked Yu Xia's hand.

The Doberman also smelled the blood on her hands and, thinking she was injured, came over and licked her hands together with the German Shepherd.

Miles kept a close eye on them. He saw them affectionately licking the little princess's hand, and as they licked, they were about to lick her face. The black wolf next to them reached out its paw and pawed at them, telling them to be careful.

"That old wolf."

Not far away, Hiro kicked away the sentry in front of him, temporarily extricating himself from the chaotic battle, and looked at Yu Xia and Miles standing in the corner.

He said somewhat discontentedly, "Why is he acting like he's making decisions for Xiaxia? Don't think that just because Xiaxia is on their team, she belongs to them."

Feng Yan landed beside him and waved his hand, "Miles is protecting her."

Hiro let out a soft "hmm".

"Has Floch arrived?"

Yu Xia stroked the dogs' heads and asked.

"Woof!" The German Shepherd responded loudly, raising its paw towards the gate.

Yu Xia followed its movements but did not see Floch.

She guessed what it meant, "Is he on his way here?"

The German Shepherd nodded.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, two figures darted out from a corner of the villa, debris flew everywhere, and the main house of the villa in the middle also collapsed.

Another roar, and the shell flashed, revealing that the house had been destroyed by the shell.

A burst of fire from a shell fell in the courtyard, and the sentries who were fighting scattered immediately. The fighting temporarily stopped, and they all looked at a short figure standing on the wall.

"Stop it if you don't want to die."

Floch pushed his goggles up to his head and swept the cannon barrel he was carrying on his shoulder across the yard.

Yu Xia waved happily when she saw him, "Floch!"

Floch breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her strong, resonant voice.

He tossed the cannon barrel to the sentry beside him, then jumped down from the wall to Yu Xia's side.

Yu Xia didn't stand still and wait for him. She ran quickly to him, opened her arms and hugged him. "I'm so glad to see you."

After hugging for a while, she let go of him and looked him over, saying, "Why do you seem to have grown taller?"

Floch: "Really?"

Yu Xia gestured with her hands, "It's because I've grown taller. You used to be this tall, and now you're this tall."

Her hand moved from her collarbone to her chin.

"He's wearing platform shoes," Hiro suddenly said from behind.

Yu Xia: "Huh?"

Floch expressionlessly drew his gun from his waist, turned around, and fired.

"Bang bang bang!" Hiro dodged several shots in a row.

"I was just kidding!" Shiro felt the bullet graze his neck and quickly hid behind Feng Yan.

Feng Yan immediately stepped aside and pushed him out.

Yu Xia pressed his hand down before he fired the next shot.

Flock put away his gun and turned around. "I'm not wearing platform shoes."

Yu Xia glanced at his heeled boots.

Floch: "The same shoes as before."

Yu Xia laughed until her lips ached. She pinched Flock's ear and said, "I know you have grown taller. Did you have some kind of special reaction in the contaminated area?"

Floch: "I don't know."

He looked down at her feet, frowned, and asked, "How did you get hurt?"

He noticed something was wrong with Yu Xia's feet when she was walking.

Yu Xia: "I twisted my ankle by accident."

Floch looked up. "Do you really need to lie to me?"

"."

"That's it."

After Yu Xia finished recounting her ordeal, she looked at Floch's reaction.

They returned to the villa, where only one sofa in the living room was still intact.

Floch didn't speak, but bent down and massaged her wound with medicine.

Yu Xia: "Actually, I'm almost fully recovered. I shouldn't feel anything after tonight."

Floch remained silent.

Yu Xia noticed his soft, slender hands, and remembering something, she grabbed his hands and examined them, exclaiming in surprise, "Your hands have disappeared from the mutation?"

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to his face. He was wearing a high-necked coat, and the high collar, like an apron, covered the lower half of his face.

Yu Xia pulled down his collar.

In the slightly swaying light, a fair and delicate face was reflected in her eyes.
