After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 685 is a particularly gentle and lovely guide.

The chickens that were wandering around the backyard clucked and came over when they saw Yu Xia.

Apart from being larger and having slightly sharper beaks and claws, these chickens look much like ordinary chickens.

Yu Xia had seen creatures that had been polluted and eroded; their bodies would generally mutate and become grotesque.

Yu Xia found it novel and reached out to stroke one of the hens. The touch was silky and soft, and the hen's body temperature was also very high. The feathers under the wings and on the abdomen were the softest. Yu Xia touched it and couldn't help but love it.

This hen has a very good temperament; she can touch it as much as she wants.

"Knock knock knock!" A chicken was pecking at the chicken feed bucket in the backyard, signaling Yu Xia to open it.

These mutant chickens are not only docile, but also smarter than ordinary chickens.

Yu Xia opened the chicken feed bucket, grabbed a handful of chicken feed, and put it on the ground.

"Damn it, they won't let me in, but I'm going to come in anyway!"

Yu Xia was feeding the chickens when she heard a familiar voice coming from somewhere above her.

She looked up to find the source of the sound, and her gaze swept across the wall, where she bumped right into Amu, who was perched on the wall.

Amu: "."

Yu Xia: "The main gate is over there." She pointed in the direction of the gate.

Amu braced himself with one hand, flipped over the wall, and landed lightly.

"Bullshit gate." Amu squatted down and cursed under his breath. He looked around warily and relaxed when he found that only the pink-haired girl was there. He picked a half-ripe tomato from in front of him and stood up.

"You're the guide in Maki's team? I've never heard of you." Amu took a bite of tomato and sized up the pink-haired girl in front of him.

"Huh?" Yu Xia opened her mouth, then looked down at the pink hair hanging down her chest, doubting the similarity between her before and after the disguise.

Why was Casey able to recognize her at a glance?
Was it because of the smell? Or because Miles was next to her at the time?
"They've been keeping you hidden pretty well." Amu snorted, ate the remaining half of a tomato in his hand in one bite, picked another and continued to eat it. "I told you that Maki and the others have guides, but the boss didn't believe me. They go to the center of the pollution source every day and hunt the highest-level pollutant bosses. With that little bit of guide hormone inhibitor, it's impossible for them to be in such good condition."

Amu looked at Yu Xia and asked, "Little sister, have you bound a Sentinel?"

Yu Xia: "."

Amu chewed and swallowed the tomato in his hand, stretched his arm, and then showed her his strong arm. "I am an S-class Sentinel, a twenty-year-old S-class Sentinel."

He made a point of emphasis.

"For someone my age, an S-level award is undeniably prestigious."

Yu Xia looked at the little wolf who was spreading his tail feathers like a peacock and wondered if he was pretending not to know her.

He used to be wary and distant of her, and his words were barbed, but now he's like a cheerful little puppy.

"I am Yu Xia," she told him directly, waiting for the little wolf's expression to change.

Amu: "YUXA? Your name?"

Yu Xia nodded hesitantly.

Amu: "How do you spell it?"

Yu Xia: "You don't recognize me?"

Amu laughed and said, "Now we know each other."

He paused, his gaze lingering on her delicate and beautiful face. "But I do think you look a little familiar."

Yu Xia waited for him to recognize her.

Amu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Is this what the star chart says about destiny being predetermined?"

He craned his neck and sniffed, "The smell is somewhat familiar."

After saying that, his expression became a little serious. "Guide sister, I think our compatibility score should be very high."

Yu Xia: "."

It seems he wasn't faking it; this little wolf is face-blind, voice-blind, and has a bad memory.

Amu surveyed his surroundings, then checked his communicator, which still hadn't responded. He then strode quickly toward Yu Xia, wanting to have a proper chat with this guide.

Although he was a mercenary, he was still better than those cowards in the Federation.

The boss said that if you meet a guide you like, don't hesitate to show off your strengths.

He liked the guide the moment he saw him; he knew this was his destined partner. He had wolf genes in him, and he trusted his intuition.

As soon as the hens saw Amu approaching, they immediately spread their wings to shield Yu Xia behind them and assumed an attack stance.

"Giggle giggle!!!"

The rooster took the initiative to attack, flapping its thick wings and shaking its bright red comb as it pounced on Amu.

At first, Amu didn't take the chickens seriously. He had heard that someone in Maki's team had used some powerful containment device to grow vegetables and raise poultry, and they were maturing very quickly.

The day before yesterday, their team received fresh vegetables and a few eggs.

However, no one else is ever allowed into this villa. He passed by several times and the smell of vegetables and meat inside made his mouth water.

"Cluck!" A large rooster pecked at Amu's hand hard, its sharp, long beak drawing blood instantly, causing him to hiss in pain.

He had just brushed the rooster away when another, even bigger rooster flapped its wings and kicked at him.

The rooster was quite strong, and with its series of kicks, it also pecked at him as it kicked. Amu was knocked to the ground by the rooster's swift and powerful maneuver.

Yu Xia watched in stunned silence. What an amazing chicken!
It seems that Flock's chickens are fighting chickens.

The chicken that was chasing and pecking at Amu was almost bigger than her.

Amu underestimated his opponents and was overwhelmed by several chickens.

He couldn't release his spiritual energy here either. After realizing what was happening, he quickly turned the tide of the battle and overturned the chickens.

He went to check on Yu Xia immediately. Yu Xia was being squeezed into a corner by the hen and was being protected tightly. Only her pink head was peeking out to look at him.

"Amu, are you alright?"

Amu wiped his face, his hands covered in blood, and his clothes were covered in chicken feathers, making him look rather disheveled.

This was the first time he had ever been beaten like this by a few chickens. Feeling somewhat embarrassed in front of the guide, he grabbed a rooster by the neck, ready to snap it.

At that moment, a communicator popped up on his hand, indicating a call from the Knicks.

Remembering he had important business to attend to, Amu answered the call.

But what was the important matter again?

Amu was stunned, his mind a complete blank.

"How did you get like this?" Knicks asked, seeing Amu's miserable state. "Who attacked you?"

He had barely finished speaking when he saw a huge rooster fly onto Amu's face.

"."

Knicks: "You went to their vegetable garden? Didn't I tell you to look for her in the east yard? She might be hidden in the basement. I've already searched the west building."

Amu was a little confused by his actions. He kicked away the group of roosters that were chasing him and jumped back onto the wall. "Boss, tell me about our mission again. I can't quite remember. Who are we supposed to be talking to?"

The Knicks were silent for two seconds before asking, "Do you know who I am?"

Amu: "Of course I know, you're my boss."

Knicks: "What's the name?" Amu thought for a long time, "...I think I've forgotten."

Knicks shoved his hair back and clicked his tongue.

The mental interference here is too high. Amu's mental body suffered a relatively serious injury before, which caused him to have forgetfulness and occasional short-term amnesia.

He was out all night yesterday, so he must have gone into a state of mutation. I'll have to give him two injections of pheromones when we go out later.

Otherwise, there would be no way to find him a guide right now.

“Find a blue-haired, blue-eyed, small-sized sentinel who looks like a guide,” Nix said briefly.

Since the boy doesn't remember the little princess for the time being, he's too lazy to tell him anyway, since he'll remember her later.

"okay."

Amu responded, then glanced at the pink-haired guide in the courtyard and exclaimed happily, "Boss, I've found my destined partner!"

Just as Knicks was about to hang up, he chuckled, "What the hell?"

Amu: "Really! It's so beautiful."

He's now suffering from amnesia and has been altered; the Knicks have no reason to believe him.

He's either talking nonsense, or he's hallucinating due to mental interference from this villa in his mind.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and find them," Knicks said.

There was no one inside or outside the villa, except for a few sentries hidden in the shadows around the perimeter. There were far fewer people than when he had come the previous two times, and it looked about the same number of people left in other mercenary territories.

Nix wondered if they knew the sea people were looking for her and had dismissed the guards to avoid alerting the sea people.

I don't know if the mental interference here is some kind of device or containment object. When he gets close, his five senses weaken and he can't release his spiritual body.

Maggie and the others should be protecting their employer well, but he felt uneasy not seeing them.

Hearing Nix's perfunctory tone, Amu became anxious. "Really, boss, she even told me her name. She's a very gentle and lovely guide."

Knicks: "Alright, let's find them first."

"Yu Xia." Amu: "Her name is Yu Xia, isn't it a beautiful name?"

Knicks: "."

He took a deep breath and said, "Don't move, I'll be right there."

The call ended, and Amu muttered, "Weren't you looking for someone?"

Thinking of the characteristics of the person Nix had mentioned earlier, Amu couldn't help but look at the guide named Yu Xia.

Hmm, she has pink hair, not the one they're looking for.

But she should know where the person the boss was talking about is.
The villa was so big that he only saw her and couldn't sense anyone else's presence.

Go ask her.

Amu jumped off the wall again, wary of the chickens attacking him, thinking that he might as well knock them out with one punch.

If they weren't the only creatures in the contaminated area that could lay eggs, he would have killed them and made them his meal.

Amu cautiously approached Yu Xia. The flock of chickens made a slightly lower "clucking" sound, much calmer than before. Although they still had their wings spread and the feathers around their necks were ruffled, they no longer took the initiative to attack.

Yu Xia used her mental power to calm the chickens down, then grabbed two handfuls of chicken feed and scattered them to the side. Only then did the chickens that had been guarding her slowly disperse.

Amu felt relieved that they had calmed down and walked up to Yu Xia, saying with a wry smile, "This is the first time I've ever been afraid of chickens. How embarrassing."

He said it was shameful, but his tone was quite nonchalant.

Yu Xia saw that his hand and one side of his face were bleeding from being pecked, and said, "Come with me."

Amu: "Where to?"

Yu Xia turned and walked towards the back gate, "I'll take you to get your wound treated."

Amu grabbed her wrist. "No, the boss told me to stay where I am."

Yu Xia turned around and asked, "The Knicks are here too?"

There was a thick layer of mental defense covering this place, and unless she deliberately tried to sense it, she couldn't feel a person's mental power from a distance.

Amu asked in surprise, "How do you know my boss's name?"

After saying that, he slapped his forehead and said, "Right, the boss's name is Knicks."

Yu Xia looked at Amu's actions and asked curiously, "How come you don't even remember Knicks' name? You only recently met him?"

Is your memory really that bad?
“I’ve known the boss for a long time,” Amu said. “I grew up in an orphanage, but I was raised by the boss. He sends money to the orphanage every year. Without the boss, I wouldn’t exist.”

Yu Xia smiled as she looked at Amu's proud tone. This little wolf only knew how to be grateful.

She sat down on a bench by the wall and asked Amu, "Does Nix support many children from the orphanage?"

In Huo Lin's illusion, she and Huo Linnix grew up in an orphanage. They took good care of her and tried their best to give her a better life.

Although it was an illusion, the feelings she experienced during that period were extremely real.

“Yes.” Amu looked down at the little guide and thought to himself, she is so small, with soft white skin, and every part of her body is delicate, but she looks like she could break at the slightest touch.

Are all guides this fragile?
Amu had never met a guide. He was a very emotionally stable sentinel and also very talented. Despite growing up in an orphanage, he attended school normally under the Knicks' support and had good grades. He even got into the military academy that the Knicks had attended.

After the Knicks were laid off by the federal government, he resolutely joined his mercenary team.

The Knicks beat him up badly, and he lay in bed for several days but didn't change his tune.

In his view, if the federal government could ruin a team like the Knicks like this, there was no point in him going there.

He's talented and capable; he'll do well anywhere.

The Knicks couldn't do anything about him, so they could only put him on the second team to train. But the kid turned out to be really talented, and he made it to the first team in just a few months.

"Why do you know our boss?" Amu squatted down and asked her, "Have you heard of our boss's reputation?"

Yu Xia found the forgetful little wolf rather endearing. She rested her elbows on her knees, propped her chin on her hand, and leaned forward slightly, saying, "Yes, your leader is a majestic snow wolf, and I love him."

Amu: ".?"

"You—" Amu was stunned. "You like our boss?!"

Yu Xia blinked her large, bright, watery blue eyes. "What? Is it not allowed?"

Amu blurted out, "Of course not!"

Yu Xia: "Why? Does he have someone he likes?"

Amu thought for a second and said, "Yes, he has someone he likes."

Yu Xia thought it was unlikely, but her curiosity compelled her to ask, "Who is it?"

Amu said, "A guide with blue hair and blue eyes, who is very beautiful and petite."

Yu Xia opened her mouth slightly, then burst into laughter.

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Knicks appeared behind Amu and kicked him as he spoke.

Amu turned his head and said, "Boss, isn't this what you said?"
