After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 555 Other Costs

The spiritual power of land-dwelling guides has little effect on sea-dwelling people, which is why sea-dwelling people are not subject to the control of the Federation and the Empire.

They are not subject to control, but they have to pay other prices.

Just like the dragon race, the dragon race possesses a powerful dragon body and strength, but is prone to madness and alienation.

The sea people possess a certain degree of self-healing and self-purification abilities thanks to the unique bloodline power bestowed upon them by the hierarchical structure of the royal family.

However, the suffering caused by infection, mental impairment, and injury is several times greater than that of land-based sentries, and they have to endure this suffering until they are fully recovered.

The moment Bello was mentally linked with Yu Xia, his reaction was uncontrollably violent.

His body trembled violently. In the few seconds after the connection was established, the mental shock was so intense that he instinctively tried to dodge, but instead he held Yu Xia even tighter, his breathing and voice becoming disordered.

Yu Xia hadn't expected Bello to react this way.

This is even more impressive than a sentry undergoing their first mental imagery guidance session.
Moreover, she hasn't entered his mental landscape yet; she's only connected with his mental energy to merge with it. If she were to guide him unilaterally, wouldn't he be even more unable to bear it?
Bello's reaction intrigued Yu Xia.

"Don't be afraid." Yu Xia sensed his emotions and stroked his back to comfort him. "It will be alright in a moment."

She was already very skilled at using the mental link and knew how to maintain a proper balance. She knew that the sea people didn't have guides and that the sea people were somewhat different from the land sentinels, but she had linked with Serius before, so she should be able to link with the other sea people as well.

It's just a spiritual connection; there's no other contact.

Yu Xia had this plan, but she hadn't considered that Selius was a king of equal rank to her, while Bello was her subordinate.

She was unaware that no land guide had yet established a spiritual connection with the sea people.

“Your Highness,” Bello called in her ear, his voice as hot and wet as his breath, “Your Highness, Your Highness.”

Bello gazed at Yu Xia with a dreamy look in his eyes, which seemed to be filled with clear water, ready to overflow at any moment.

The fusion of Yu Xia's superior bloodline power and his spirit, multiplied and stimulated the sea creature abilities within him, creating an unprecedented sensation that left him in a daze.

The hot, moist steam from Bello's breath clung to her skin, as if trying to set her ablaze.

He could no longer restrain himself, abandoning his usual restraint and pretense, and his lips landed on various parts of Yu Xia's skin.

“Bello, you…” Yu Xia exclaimed in surprise, pushing Bello’s shoulder. Bello looked up and her gaze fell on her full lips, which were as beautiful as morning flowers.

He swallowed hard, about to fall down.

Yu Xia reacted quickly and blocked the kiss with her hand, while Bello kissed her palm.

Bello was slightly disappointed, and took her hand to kiss her fingers.

Yu Xia and Bello were mentally linked, and Yu Xia could clearly sense his thoughts. He was aroused by the stimulation of their mental fusion.
Land Sentinels and Guides have a bonding heat. When Sentinels and Guides are matched, the bonding heat is stimulated through the mental link. Yu Xia always thought that she didn't have this because of a gland defect.

Now it seems that it was entirely due to her bloodline.

Moreover, compared to a fixed binding heat, she is actually more easily stimulated by mental energy or sentinels to induce a similar state.

Yu Xia couldn't resist Bello's teasing. The feeling she had finally managed to suppress before going to sleep was now being stirred up again by Bello.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you are so beautiful," Bello said, his gaze sweeping over her skin with adoration.

Cheeks, neck, shoulders and arms.
“Hiss, Bello!” Yu Xia grabbed Bello’s hair.

Bello was kicked in the shoulder.

But this did not shake him in the slightest. Only when the foot that was kicking him finally lost its strength did he lick his lips and rest his head contentedly on the little princess's violently heaving belly.

Yu Xia took a while to catch her breath before she came to her senses.

She looked down and saw a layer of moisture gloss on Bello's straight nose. He was reaching up to wipe it off, and then—

He put his finger in his mouth.

Bello looked up at her and smiled, "Your Highness, so sweet." Yu Xia's breath hitched, and she covered her eyes with her hands.

The spiritual fusion has only just begun! This is terrible!

The next day.

Yu Xia sat on the messy bed, grabbed a handful of her equally messy hair, and before she could even wake up, Bello carried her to wash up and then placed her in front of the dining table.

Normally, Bello would let her sleep a little longer, but since she was going to a Federation meeting later, even if he didn't call her, Yu Xia would have to get up on her own.

Like a diligent little bee, Bello prepared a breakfast that Yu Xia loved to eat early in the morning, and then tidied up her room as quickly as possible.

A small beluga whale floated to her side, nuzzled her hand affectionately, let out a few cheerful calls, and then lay down on her lap.

Yu Xia looked down at it and pinched its chubby head.

Yu Xia propped her head up with one hand and ate her breakfast slowly. She looked energetic, yet not quite.

My mental energy is fully replenished, but I'm sleepy. Bello looks gentle and kind, but she's incredibly demanding.

He managed to while away the night like that.

Halfway through breakfast, Yu Xia saw Bello carrying the bed sheets and duvet covers she had taken off to wash.

Thinking about the spiritual fusion last night, Yu Xia felt that she should conserve her spiritual energy. When the sea people got aroused, they couldn't be suppressed with spiritual energy like other sentinels; they had to take physical action.

She was a little overwhelmed.

Moreover, if even royalty like Bello is so easily aroused by mental stimulation, others are probably the same, and their tolerance for her mental stimulation is probably no higher than his.

Yu Xia was lost in thought and didn't notice Yin Ya sitting down next to her with an icy expression.

"If you can't eat it, don't eat it."

Yu Xia was startled by his sudden voice and almost jumped up. "Why do you walk so quietly!"

Silver Fang: "You didn't hear me."

Yu Xia patted her chest, noticing a layer of steam rising from his head. She forked a piece of egg pancake, took a bite, and asked, "Did you go out?"

The humidity is high in the outpost area, especially in the morning; you can come back from a trip outside and find your clothes half-soaked.

Silver Tooth said irritably, "I was out all night."

Yu Xia paused in her bite of the egg pancake, put it down, and asked, "You went out last night? What did you do there?"

"kill."

Silver Tooth took the egg pancake that she had only taken two bites of and ate it in a few bites. He had used up a lot of his strength chasing Huanmeng.

Yu Xia pushed the porridge and sandwich in front of her forward, "Kill who?"

"Illusion." Silver Fang devoured half a sandwich in one bite, then looked at her and asked, "What did you do to him last night?"

Yu Xia recalled the details and shook her head; she hadn't even seen a figure from the illusion.

"Shouldn't you ask him what he did to me?" Yu Xia took a sip of milk and said, "You know his abilities. He is indeed very strong, and I probably can't do anything to him in the short term."

She lacks the powerful spiritual energy and potential for breakthroughs provided by the Golden Flower Spirit Body; her current spiritual energy is only enough for self-defense, not enough to deal with the Illusion Dream. She still needs to continue training.

Silver Fang looked at her with a strange expression after hearing her words.
