After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 689 He's just a little rascal
Yu Xia and Floch sat on the far side of the sofa, giving each other the cold shoulder.

Maki brought over a large pile of food, and seeing that the two children were ignoring each other, she simply placed the food between them.

"You guys aren't allowed to fight before I get back." Maki ruffled Yu Xia's hair. "Don't be upset, little flower. I'll beat him up for you when I get back."

The portal is about to close, and they still have cleanup tasks to complete; they can't afford to delay any longer.

"What do they do?"

Feng Yan pointed to the two wolves that were still asleep.

"Miles is still waiting for them at the portal."

Marge looked at Flock and said, "Stop throwing a tantrum. Wake them up. We're short-handed right now. The Knicks are the alpha wolf and a great leader."

Floch, expressionless, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Hiss!" Amu clutched his head and rolled twice on the ground, still not understanding what was happening.

The moment Knicks opened his eyes, he sprang into action, quickly locating Yu Xia.

In the next five minutes, Yu Xia experienced a scene similar to the one she had used to deceive Alex.

Because of Flock's interference, her mental fusion with Nix was interrupted. He did not fully recall his memories of her, but he awakened his past feelings for her.

Now, she is a wild guide in Nix's group, daring to impersonate a sea creature. She is his guide and the guide for several mercenary groups, including Maki's.

Putting aside her actual genetic background, Knicks' logic is sound and very close to the truth.

Yu Xia didn't say much; it was all guessed by the Knicks themselves.

She wasn't going to make up any other reasons; the Knicks weren't as easy to fool as Alex—he was too smart.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Knicks half-squatted down in front of Yu Xia. "Even if I forgot, I would have believed you if you had told me."

Yu Xia: "Wasn't I obvious enough?"

From the moment she arrived at the mercenary district and met him, she was very close to him and even asked him to help her conceal her pheromones. But what did he do?

She's very disappointed with the Knicks!

Disappointment in certain aspects.

"Ahem." Knicks knew what he had done and said somewhat embarrassedly, "My mistake."

"Are you going or not? Stop dawdling."

Maki slung the supply pack over her shoulder, checked the time, and said, "The portal will close in ten minutes."

Knicks gently stroked Yu Xia's face with his finger. "Wait for me to come back, my sweetheart."

Yu Xia opened her arms.

Knicks smiled and hugged her.

Amu looked at the two embracing each other with resentment, feeling his newly awakened romantic feelings shatter into pieces.

I finally found someone I liked, but my boss beat me to it.

So angry!!!
"What are you looking at, brat? Let's go." Knicks grabbed Amu by the neck and dragged him away.

"Wait for me to come back, my sweet little guide!" Amu mimicked Knicks' words, earning him a flick on the forehead from Knicks.

Yu Xia watched their departing figures, sighed with her hands supporting her chin, and said to Floch beside her, "Look what you've done, I have to do it all over again."

Floch, munching on an energy bar, said, "I told you this is my territory. I didn't go in on purpose."

After saying that, he added, "I advise you not to waste your energy on this matter for now."

Yu Xia tilted her head. "Why?"

Floch finished the energy bar in a few bites, then picked up a large piece of jerky and continued to gnaw on it. "You saw it too, what kind of pollution is in his body. Save your energy for dealing with this. This is just the beginning. If they remember you, they will be used by the pollution. How many Sentinels can you handle then?"

Yu Xia said awkwardly, "It's just him. I haven't thought about restoring the memories of the others yet."

"So what?" Floch snorted, his face saying, "I know you too well."

Yu Xia watched him engrossed in eating the pile of food and asked, "What were you doing outside just now?"

He finished breakfast less than two hours ago, and he ate quite a lot of breakfast, so he must have burned a lot of calories.

Floch tore at the jerky with all his might, as if he were biting into the flesh of an enemy. "Do you know how many mercenaries I've recruited? You can't keep them stable with suppressants."

Yu Xia: "Did you go and stabilize their mental strength?"

Before the Federation sentries leave, the guides will collectively use their mental energy to give them a little bit of superficial reassurance.

Floch glanced at her. "What other Golden Ivy can do, I can do too."

We can do even better than them.

"Raphael, what are you looking at?"

Yun Sha looked curiously at the white paper in his hand.

Raphael, without looking up, said, "Believe."

"A letter?" Yun Sha laughed. "Someone actually wrote you a letter? Who wrote it?"

Raphael saw the golden flower at the end of the page and said, "A guide who is not very obedient and likes to run around everywhere."

"Oh?" Yun Sha understood something and raised an eyebrow. "It seems this guide admires you a lot. It's rare to see someone write a letter by hand. She put a lot of thought into it."

They had never seen anyone express affection for Raphael; the guides generally held them in awe and dared not offend them.

"With heart?" Raphael ran his fingers over the golden flowers on the letter. If only he had truly put his heart into it.

I'm afraid he wasn't the only one who received the letter.

Yun Sha glanced at his expression and said, "May I take a look?"

Raphael handed her the letter.

Yun Sha took it and exclaimed in surprise, "This is... Ancient Golden Script?"

Raphael nodded slightly. "The purest ancient golden script."

Yun Sha quickly scanned the letter, but she couldn't recognize all the characters and could only understand the general meaning.

The letter writer told Raphael not to be anxious, that she would come to find him after she finished her work, and that Raphael should focus on his own tasks, as he wouldn't be able to find her even if he wanted to.

"Who exactly is she?" Yunsha asked Raphael after reading the letter, feeling that this matter was not simple.

Raphael remained silent, only staring at the golden tree in front of him that had shrunk a little.

Yun Sha's eyes darted around, and she said, "I've seen her before, haven't I?"

Raphael gave a casual "hmm".

"It's her." Yunsha quickly thought of the girl with the golden gene.

"You think you can just send us a letter and call us out?"

Metis snatched the letter from Farrell's hand and carefully read its contents.

The letter was very obscure, as if it had been written by someone who had just learned the script of the Sea Tribe.

"She actually told us not to bother looking for her?" Metis was almost laughing in anger, shaking the letter. "What is she trying to do?"

"Be careful not to break it." Bello frowned, snatched the letter, folded it, and was about to put it away when Farrell snatched it away again.

Farrell read those lines over and over again, confirming her tone that she didn't want them to find her, and his face darkened.

They searched both logistics areas thoroughly, but found no trace of her. They could sense her spiritual presence, but they didn't know her exact location.

This feeling made them very uneasy. Who on earth had such great ability to hide someone right under their noses?
Farrell initially wondered if it was Celius who did it, but if it were Celius, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to warn them.

Then they wondered if it was the mercenaries. "What were they thinking, kidnapping our queen?" Metis immediately dismissed the idea.

It's more believable that the Holy City and the Long family kidnapped people; those mercenaries had no reason to come looking for death.

She's not a guide, why would they kidnap her? They don't even need to find her; within their mental link range, she can crush them all simply by using the power of the sea creatures.

However, those mercenaries do have some special containment items, and no matter how arrogant they are, they wouldn't dare gamble with her.

Just as they were looking for the leaders of those mercenary groups, this letter arrived.

The handwriting and the smell both indicate that it was written by her.

“We scared her,” Metis suddenly said.

“It’s you,” Bello said coldly. “Don’t drag us into this.”

Metis crossed his arms and kicked away the chair in front of him. "What kind of good people do you think you are? Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Bello: "Your own mind is filthy, so don't drag others into it."

Metis chuckled. "If you're so sure of your conscience, why were you so terrified when Serius came?"

Seeing that he remained silent, Metis turned to look at Silver Fang, who was standing in the doorway. "And you, Celius, do you know about your little schemes too?"

Silver Fang ignored him and vanished in an instant, turning into a bolt of lightning.

“Selius.” Farrell frowned. “He knows where she is.”

"Alright, I'm not going to hold it against you anymore. Let's put this behind us for now."

"Turn the page when you need my help." Floch looked down at the sapphire in her hand, sneered, crossed his arms, and puffed out his cheeks slightly.

"I'm not begging you," Yu Xia said. "We're on the same side; my business is your business."

Floch: "Now you know we're on the same side?"

Yu Xia: "This does not include the fact that you can watch me and others spiritually merge, no matter what the reason."

Floch said "oh," leaned back, crossed his legs, and popped a broad bean into his mouth.

Yu Xia moved closer to him and pressed his crossed legs down. "You get upset when I call you a child. You're clearly just being childish."

Floch put one hand behind his head and said, "Okay, I'm having a childish tantrum and I'm upset right now. Will you coax me, sister?"

"How do you want me to coax you?" Yu Xia felt a little better when she heard him call her "sister," and her attitude softened.

Floch remained silent, only turning his head to show her the red marks on his face and neck.

Yu Xia: "."

"I apologize," Yu Xia said, "but I still think you were wrong to do this, and you can't do it again in the future."

Flock was silent for a while, then said, "Can't you say something I want to hear?"

Yu Xia smiled and moved forward a little more. "What do you want to hear? Tell me and I'll tell you right away."

Floch curled his lip slightly.

"You won't tell me, and if I do, you'll get angry because you don't want to hear it." Yu Xia opened the medicine bottle in her hand, scooped out a dollop of ointment, and rubbed it on his face.

"No need." Floch turned his head away as he saw her offering him the golden medicine.

He actually left the traces for her to see on purpose, because he thought it would only take a moment to restore them.

"Don't move." Yu Xia pressed him down and applied the medicine to him.

Floch felt her warm fingertips sliding across his face as he quietly let her apply the medicine.

"Have you ever hit them like this?" he asked.

"Huh? Who? The Knicks?"

"Those people in the Holy City."

Yu Xia paused, then said, "I've fought with them."

Raphael, in particular, was the one she fought the most, but most of the time, Raphael just let her fight him.

She was actually annoyed by his behavior; it was like hitting a ball of cotton—she had no way to vent her anger.

“I won’t treat you like they did,” Flock said. “I didn’t mean to. After I was pulled in, I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn’t make a sound, but you still noticed.”

Yu Xia thought to herself, "If they don't find out, things will get out of hand."

“I know you’re different from them, so I’ll let it go this time. It would have been wrong of me to take action.”

After applying the medicine, Yu Xia wiped her hands and handed the sapphire to him. "You said yesterday that you had a way to contact Selius. Here you go."

Floch glanced down at the gemstone, propped himself up, and under Yu Xia's expectant gaze, said, "Actually... I was lying to you."

So that she won't be so preoccupied with thinking about it that she can't sleep.

After saying that, Flock nimbly flipped off the sofa and ran away before Yu Xia could have a fit.

"."

"Floch!" Yu Xia took a deep breath, picked up a cushion, and threw it at Floch. "You little rascal!"

Floch caught the cushion. "I told you to save your energy and ignore them."

Yu Xia rolled up her sleeves. "I need to talk to him about something!"

Floch and she circled the table. "What is it? You just want him to help you keep those sea creatures at bay. With me here, you don't need to worry. They won't be able to find you."

Yu Xia pressed on, "I'm sure he's here!"

Floch: "So what if he's not here? You have so many sentries, he's not a big deal."

Yu Xia: "If that's how you see it, it's fine if I take you away."

After she finished speaking, Flock's eyes dimmed for a moment. He didn't say anything, just kept her at a distance, keeping her at a safe distance until she was about to catch up, then he widened the distance again.

Flock was agile and managed to tire Yu Xia out by circling around him.

“Floch, you're a little bastard.”

Yu Xia sat down on the stool, panting, too lazy to chase him anymore, and looked at the sapphire.

Floch sat down opposite her. “This is something he gave you. If you can’t even sense him, how can I?”

Yu Xia: "If you can't, you can't. Why lie to me?"

Floch: "Fun."

Yu Xia rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to talk to him.

"Stop looking." Floch said as he watched her rubbing the gem. "The main sea of ​​the sea race is so far away from us that even if he were the ocean lord, it would be difficult for him to contact you. Besides, the power here is stored separately, and you've almost used it all up."

Yu Xia said, "It's different. After I established a spiritual link with the sea creature, I could sense his aura, but I don't know how to connect with him."

The spiritual vision of the sea creatures is shared, and Serius, as the Lord of the Sea, is the one with the strongest consciousness in this spiritual vision, but he is temporarily in a state of isolation.

Yu Xia felt she could connect with his consciousness, but she couldn't find the trick, so she came to ask Floch, thinking he might know something. She didn't expect that this little rascal was just playing a trick on her.

"There is a way."

Flock scratched his head in frustration as she insisted on contacting the octopus.

"What method?" Yu Xia looked at him with a skeptical expression.

Floch moved closer to her. "Let's make this clear first, no one is allowed to take action regardless of whether it succeeds or not."

Yu Xia nodded, "Don't worry."

Floch then sat down next to her. "Give me your hand."
