After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 682 The Aura of the Same Kind

Yu Xia cupped Floch's face in her hands and examined him closely.

It's not an illusion; Floch has really grown up a bit.

He used to look only about ten years old, but now he looks more like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

Flock felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, turned his face away, and took her injured right foot back into his hand. "Don't move."

As he spoke, he tore open a piece of ointment and applied it to her ankle.

Yu Xia looked at him for a while and said, "Floch, have you lost weight?"

Flock lowered his head, half his face hidden in his high-necked apron, and said, "If you think you've lost weight, then you've lost weight."

Yu Xia lifted his head again, "Is it because you've grown taller that you've become thinner?"

Flock gave a casual "hmm," "I guess so."

His voice was also a bit muffled than before, clear yet hoarse.

Yu Xia said, "It seems that you can actually grow up."

Floch paused, putting her feet aside. "Not necessarily."

Yu Xia: "Why not? Were you like this before? Did you shrink back to a smaller size after growing up? Is it because you were in a polluted area?"

She asked several questions in succession, but Flock did not answer her, only giving vague replies.

"I don't know, maybe."

Yu Xia seemed to avoid these questions, so she didn't press him further.

He must have his reasons for not wanting to talk about it.

The changes in Floch were indeed strange; not only had his mutation stopped, but he had also grown up.

While others in the contaminated area were infected and mutated by the pollution, he seemed to be nourished.

"Maggie, you bitch! I'll *&￥."

Yu Xia looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Sula was tied to the stool again, but this time she was in a much worse state than before.

Her face was covered in bruises, and it was unclear how many punches she had received from Maki. Her left forearm had been severed, and Maki had used a slime-like substance to cover the wound.

Maki was in slightly better condition, but she also had several wounds on her face and neck.

Sula hurled a string of profanities at Maki, who, with one foot on the stool, slapped Sula's face and said, "Good sister, isn't it better to stay in your own territory? Why do you have to be so reckless and court death? It's one thing to provoke me, but to dare to cause trouble for our Little Flower, if you weren't somewhat useful, your head wouldn't be on your neck today."

"Little Flower?" Sula spat out a mouthful of blood and turned to look at Yu Xia. "Pink-haired puppy, so that's your name?"

Yu Xiamo said that she actually has quite a few names.

Margie pinched her chin and turned her face back. "What pink-haired puppy? Stop barking."

Sula: "What, putting on a show of sisterly affection for me? You've picked up a good sister, but my sister is a slut."

"Little sister?" Maggie was taken aback and glanced at Yu Xia, who was silently eating the potato chips that Flock had given her.

Maki smoothed her messy hair back and said to Sura, "Little Flower is indeed a good little sister. You'll never have one like her in your life."

Sula glared at her, then kicked her hard.

Maggie reacted quickly, dodging to the side and kicking her back, knocking her and the chair to the ground.

Then, she clapped her hands, walked quickly to Yu Xia, and hugged her tightly, saying, "Little flower, I missed you so much."

Maki ruffled her hair and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me?"

Yu Xia chewed the potato chips in her mouth, swallowed them, and smiled, "Yes."

“I’ve saved you a lot of good food, come to my place and eat,” Maggie said.

Yu Xia pointed to Sula and her teammates who were being suppressed outside, "What are you going to do with them?"

“They are still useful,” Flock said.

Yu Xia glanced around at the group of sentries and noticed one was missing. "Where's Walter?"

“He got away.” Casey cursed as she went inside. “Next time I see him, I’m going to bite him to death.”

When Casey saw Yu Xia, her fierce eyes immediately became clear.

"Miss Dian Yuxia, are you alright?" Casey tried to get closer to Yuxia, but was pushed away by Feng Yanxi, who was guarding her.

"I'm fine, Casey. Are you the only one who came back?" Yu Xia: "Where are the Knicks?"

"They should be back soon."

Casey paused for a moment, then said, "I run faster."

His gaze fell on Yu Xia's face and her pink hair, and he said, "Miss Yu Xia, you look different from before. Is this your true appearance?"

Yu Xia nodded.

Casey smiled, revealing a shallow dimple on her cheek. "So cute."

Yu Xia looked at him, who was covered in dust but still exuded a clear, youthful charm, and said, "You're cute too."

Casey's tail immediately stood on end and began to wag wildly behind him. He crouched down, dodging the hands of Hiro and the other man who were trying to stop him, and quickly darted to Yu Xia. "Yu Xia, little one!"

Floch gave him a kick without hesitation. "She's your employer. Stay away from her when you don't have to."

Hiro grabbed Casey by the back of his collar. "Little Border Collie, you've got some nerve."

Miles, who was dealing with the aftermath of the battle outside the courtyard, glanced into the house. Black Wolf silently approached Hiro and the others and stood behind them.

A huge shadow covered them.

Feng Yanxi Luo slowly turned his head, “.”

Feeling the mental pressure from the Black Wolf, Heero had no choice but to abandon Casey.

“Floch, they’re all very nice people,” Yu Xia said. “Don’t be mean to him.”

Upon hearing the second half of her sentence, Floch crossed his arms and remained silent.

"Oh my," Maki laughed, "Little Flower, you really like puppies."

Yu Xia said, "They are all very cute, but they are too clingy."

As she spoke, she noticed that one familiar face was missing. "Where's Ana?"

Maggie said, "He's working. It's good that you're thinking of him. If he knew, he'd probably be rolling on the ground with joy."

Yu Xia glanced at the rather unhappy Flock, coughed, and said, "Go to your place?"

Floch relaxed slightly, lowered his arm, instructed Maki to clean up the place, and then took Yu Xia back to their territory.

Flock's territory was close to the outskirts of the logistics area, but it was noticeably cleaner and tidier, with many sentries on duty and patrolling.

These sentries were all hired and carefully selected by Floch.

Flock paid them a generous wage, told them to do whatever he told them to do, and not to meddle in other people's business, only to patrol around the perimeter of their quarters.

But compared to the sentries serving in the Federal Empire's army, these mercenaries were not very disciplined, and they all cast curious glances at Yu Xia, a complete stranger.

Pairs of eyes gleamed in the shadows, like wild beasts lurking in the night.

The spirit form of Feng Yan, following behind Yu Xia and the others, bared its teeth at them as a warning.

Immediately, the mercenaries looked away, though a few still glanced at Yu Xia from time to time. Yu Xia looked around at her surroundings, then turned to Floch behind her and asked, "How many sentries did you hire?"

Floch jumped off Hiro's spiritual body, stood still, and stretched out his hand to Yu Xia, "One-third of the sentries in the logistics area."

Yu Xia took his hand and slid it down from the spiritual body. "So much?"

Floch: "That's not enough. Do you know how big North Second District is?"

Yu Xia knew, of course, that she had looked at the map of North Second District repeatedly before entering it.

Floch: "The pollution levels here are incomparable to the polluted areas we've been in before, and those areas were mostly dormant."

Yu Xia asked, "Is it because of the Crimson God?"

The Red God is a deity worshipped by heretics. He has crossed paths with her many times, but she doesn't really understand him. He gives her strange feelings, especially since he has a face that resembles Polya's.

Sometimes Yu Xia had to deliberately avoid thinking about Him. Every time she thought of Him, His face, which resembled Polya's, would appear in her mind, and her heart would feel a little uncomfortable.

“He is just one of the forms that alien forces manifest,” Flo said.

The two talked as they went inside.

As soon as Yu Xia entered, she was enveloped in a warm feeling.

Whether the room had the heating on or some other heating device, the chill on Yu Xia's body was instantly dispelled.

The living room and bedroom are also decorated very warmly, with dolls and exquisite and cute ornaments placed everywhere.

Yu Xia was accompanied only by Flock; the other sentries escorted them back and did not follow them in.

The environment here gave Yu Xia a rare sense of peace.

"Do you live alone?" Yu Xia asked Flock.

“Yes, they live in the room next door.” Flock took her hand and led her to the bathroom. “You’ll live here from now on; the room is all prepared for you.”

Floch first took Yu Xia to take a hot bath, prepared comfortable pajamas for her, and a hot late-night snack.

It was already late at night. Yu Xia had been up all day, but after a relaxing hot shower and a hearty meal, she fell asleep almost immediately.

With Floch by her side, she could feel at ease.

"Oh, right, Floch," Yu Xia said, just as she was falling asleep, remembering something. "Do you have any news about Renault?"

Floch had just come out of the shower and was sitting on the edge of her bed, drying his hair. "No."

Yu Xia half-closed her eyes, gazing at Floch's silhouette in the darkness, and said, "I haven't heard from him in a long time. Where do you think he might have gone?"

Since separating in the contaminated area of ​​Silver Star, Renault has vanished as if he had disappeared into thin air.

Floch: "Don't worry, he should be fine."

Yu Xia: "Why are you so sure?"

Floch: "He is a dragon."

Yu Xia closed her eyes and tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Yes, he is a dragon. No one can do anything to him."

"."

Floch sat cross-legged in the darkness, staring intently at the sleeping Yu Xia, water droplets still clinging to his hair slowly dripping down his body.

After a long while, he finally moved and looked up out the window.

Shadows flickered outside the window, but all movement was kept outside the villa, so that not a single sound could penetrate and disturb Yu Xia.

The next day.

Yu Xia woke up from a deep sleep. The curtains were drawn, and the room was dimly lit, with only a small, swaying mushroom-shaped lamp emitting a faint glow.

She stared at the furry top of her head; it wasn't the ceiling, but the "lid" of the nest she was sleeping in.

This is what caused her poor vision.

The bed Floch prepared for her was shaped like a half-open egg, and it was very soft and comfortable.

She stretched her arms and legs, feeling an urge to continue sleeping in.

She hadn't had such a comfortable sleep in a long time. Her body and mind were completely relaxed, and she didn't have to worry about anything. When she woke up, there was no one beside her.
Yu Xia reached down and touched a warm hand resting on her waist.

She turned around and met a handsome face that was inches away from hers.

Floch had fallen asleep inside sometime earlier.

The nest wasn't very big. Yu Xia habitually slept near the edge of the egg, leaving a large empty space in front of her. Floch was pushed to the side by her, his body half-curled up.

He was sleeping soundly, and Yu Xia's turning over did not wake him.

Yu Xia stared at the face in front of her, feeling somewhat unfamiliar with it.

At this moment, Floch no longer had his round mouse ears or tail. Yu Xia carefully examined his exposed skin but did not see any signs of mutation.

Yu Xia gently brushed aside the hair by his ear, revealing a normal human ear.

Floch's breathing was even, his face flushed, and his previously gray hair was now a brighter color, close to platinum, similar to the color of Yu Xia's hair when she transformed into her golden bloodline form.

Yu Xia couldn't describe the feeling that welled up inside her; she just felt that the grumpy little mouse had become more vibrant.

Furthermore, he is closer to having purebred golden blood.

Yu Xia sensed a distinct sense of kinship emanating from him.

Flock felt more like one of their own than Raphael.

Yu Xia stared at Floch for a while, then carefully took his hand from her waist.

Although Floch still looks very green, Yu Xia felt that she could no longer treat Floch like a child.

As soon as she removed Floch's hand, she saw Floch slowly open his eyes.

He had just woken up, his eyes were still a little blurry, and his golden pupils were covered with a layer of mist, but they were even brighter than before.

Like the sun rising in the misty morning.

These are eyes belonging to the Golden Bloodline. Even if other people with golden eyes are placed next to those with the Golden Bloodline, the difference can be seen.

Once freaked out of his alienation, Flock is a purebred member of the Golden Clan.

Floch withdrew his hand from her waist. "...Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yu Xia poked his face with her finger, "You've changed so much."

Floch: "Really?"

Yu Xia propped her head up and looked at him. "There's no one else here now. Can you tell me what's going on with the mutation in your body?"

Floch's feelings must have been even more pronounced than what she saw; having lived for so many years, he couldn't be unaware of his own changes.

Floch closed his eyes and shifted his body, which had been curled up all night. "It's just like what you see. My alienation started to subside as soon as I entered the contaminated area."

Yu Xia: "Do you know why? Has this happened before?"

Flock pulled the blanket over his head. "Are you going to sleep or not? If not, go wash up. There's food in the warmer."

Seeing that he was still unwilling to talk about it, Yu Xia got up and said, "Alright, you can tell me whenever you want, or you don't have to, as long as this change doesn't affect your health."

Floch pulled down the blanket and reached out to grasp her wrist. "It's not that I wanted to hide it from you, but I couldn't control this change either. It's not just the aliens that have awakened in the contaminated area; other things have also awakened."
