After becoming top guides, they are obsessed with

Chapter 577 Exceeding the Threshold

Yu Xia won the duel and did not stay in the arena for long.

Fighting Vic like that has exhausted most of her mental energy.

That's not the main issue. The important thing is that once she withdrew the sea creature power she obtained from Silver Fang and the others, she started to feel overwhelmed.

With so many people watching in the arena, she can't afford to fall here, otherwise her fight with Vic would have been for nothing.

The sea creatures also noticed her condition and left the arena with her.

"Hey, why are you leaving already? Do you still want me?"

Arturo hadn't even exchanged two words with the little princess before he tried to catch up, but Vic grabbed him and shook his head.

At this moment, Yu Xia turned to Arturo and said, "Yes, it's settled. Now you're all mine. Just wait!"

Yu Xia walked backwards, pointed at Vic, and said, "Including you, Chief."

Vic nodded. "Okay."

Arturo looked at the little princess, then at the chief, and said somewhat anxiously, "Our chief doesn't count."

Yu Xia smiled: "Why doesn't it count? He lost to me."

Vic looked at her and said, "Okay."

Yu Xia was satisfied after hearing this.

Arturo slapped himself in the face. "Chief, it's all my fault for being so talkative!"

Vic patted him on the shoulder. "It's not your fault. Let's go back and prepare for the dinner."

As Yu Xia finished speaking and was about to turn around, her back bumped into a cold, hard chest.

“I think you still have energy.” Farrell looked down at her with a frown, then put his hand on her shoulder. “Go back to training.”

"Training? At this time?" Yu Xia shrank back, nimbly escaping from his grasp, and stood between Silver Fang and Bello. "The banquet is about to begin, let's talk about training tomorrow!"

She felt sore all over, and her calves were cramping. Even if she didn't attend the banquet, she didn't want to move anymore.

Farrell frowned even more deeply. He looked her face up and down carefully and asked, "How old are you?"

Yu Xia almost blurted out "twenty," but stopped herself immediately.

The face she's currently wearing makes her look much more mature; twenty seems too young.

“I’ve been an adult for a long time,” Yu Xia replied vaguely.

Farrell: "Adult sea creatures, such poor combat skills."

Yu Xia: "." So you asked her age just to insult her like that?
“It’s not too bad.” Metis walked backwards in front of Yu Xia and said with a smile, “I think little Potty has a lot of room for growth. When the time comes, I will train you and I will definitely teach you better than Silver Tooth.”

Silver Fang gave him a cold glance and didn't bother to pay him any attention.

Once the contaminated area issue is resolved, Metis will no longer be able to get close to Boti.

Yu Xia was still not happy despite Metis's words of comfort. She sighed and said, "I thought I played well just now and you guys would praise me."

She had been waiting for a long time, but apart from Arturo saying a couple of words of genuine admiration, none of her own subordinates said a single thing she wanted to hear.

Bello looked at the little princess's expectant expression and smiled. He patted her head and said, "Your Highness only lacks combat experience, but your strength is beyond question. In addition to your royal blood, Your Highness's mental strength is also a key factor in surviving the entire battle."

After hearing this, Yu Xia felt a little better.

She then went to look at the silent silver teeth.

After waiting for a long time, Yinya finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "It's alright."

"Not bad?" Yu Xia: "You're the one who taught me."

Silver Teeth: "Don't tell anyone outside that I taught you this."

Yu Xia: "." Does it have to be this way?!
Silver Fang had just poured cold water on her when Farrell poured another bucket of cold water on her, "No wonder you're so weak. Looks like you've been spoiled by them. You think you can get praise for beating like this? I bet you won't even be able to get out of the arena before you collapse."

Yu Xia retorted, "I can get out of here."

"."

Before Yu Xia even left the arena, her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up.

The more excited and thrilled she was when she fought Vic, the more dejected she became now.

She felt completely drained of energy, hanging limply on Yin Ya's arm like dough.

Silver Fang paused for a moment, then continued walking forward, showing no intention of carrying her, only slowing his pace.

"No, no, I'm out of strength." Yu Xia hugged Yin Ya's arm and staggered forward, barely keeping up with his steps. Her legs ached terribly, and the little dolphin spirit floating next to her also wilted, drooping its fins listlessly, almost turning belly up.

"Just a few more steps and we'll be outside." Silver Fang blocked Bello's hand that was trying to hug her, and lifted her up by the waist.

"Why is your physique so weak?" Farrell had been watching Yu Xia the whole way. Seeing that after she withdrew her power link with them, she was like a robot that had been disconnected from its power source, immediately losing all power.

This state made him highly doubtful that even if she returned to the ocean, her strength would not be enough to be his opponent.

Yu Xia was practically carried forward by her silver teeth. She was too tired to walk anymore, but remembering the boast she had just made to Farrell, she had no choice but to keep going.

She's in a superior position now, she can't afford to lose face like this!
"Little Potty, keep going! Only ten meters to the door."

Upon hearing Metis's words, Yu Xia glanced up and saw that Metis and the others all looked at her as if she were looking at some small animal.

Farrell also had a look on his face that said, "Let's see how long you can hold out."

Yu Xia managed to hold on until she reached the door, but once there, she couldn't hold on any longer. She slumped onto Yin Ya's arm like a cooked noodle, not wanting to take another step.

Silver Fang had anticipated her condition, so he bent down, grabbed her legs, and picked her up horizontally.

"It lasted a few more minutes, which is not bad."

Back at the base, Yu Xia ate a large, nutritious meal and then collapsed onto the sofa.

"Your Highness, I've prepared hot water for you." Bello walked over and said, "Take a hot bath and get some rest. You can skip the banquet."

Yu Xia struggled to turn over and said weakly, "I still have to go."

She finally managed to get her hands on the Tiger Division area, and the contaminated zone was going to open in a couple of days. She took this opportunity to further cooperate with the Tiger Division group at the banquet.

Besides the Tiger Division, she also needs to understand and communicate with other factions.

The route she and Flock planned would inevitably pass through the area they were responsible for.

Bello looked at the little princess, who was slumped over, and thought to himself that she couldn't go like this.

He checked the time and said, "Then it's alright if Your Highness takes a short nap and attends the banquet a little later."

Yu Xia softly hummed in agreement and then closed her eyes to sleep.

The aftereffects of having her power drained were far too severe. She managed to eat a large meal after returning home, but now, lying down, she didn't even want to move a finger. However, Yu Xia couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did. Although her body was exhausted, her mind was extremely excited, constantly reviewing her battle with Vic that day.

Her mind was excited, and her body became frenzied, with mutated scales sprouting from her body.

Seeing that Yu Xia had been tossing and turning for a long time without falling asleep, Bello asked considerately, "Your Highness, is something bothering you?"

Yu Xia let out a long breath and forcefully turned over and sat up. "I'm not going to sleep, I can't sleep."

Bello sensed her restless spirit, sat down beside her, and pressed her against his chest. "Your Highness, get some sleep. I will wake you up."

Yu Xia rested her head on Bello's chest, listening to his gentle and pleasant voice, and her restless emotions calmed down a little.

After these days of training, her state during her transformation has improved a lot, but she is still more irritable than in her normal form. However, every time she comes back from training, she falls asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow, unlike now when she can't fall asleep no matter what.

She took a deep breath and buried her head in his chest.

Bello gently stroked her back, soothing her with his spiritual power. The spiritual power of the sea creatures is different from that of the land sentinels; their spiritual power is not about chasing and taking, but about resonance.

Even if Her Highness has bloodlines other than those of the sea race, their spiritual power can still soothe her in the opposite way.

Yu Xia felt Bello's gentle spiritual power, hugged his waist, buried her face in his chest and took a deep sniff.

When she returned from training, before going to bed, Bello would usually use his mental power to soothe her for a while, relieving her anxiety and excitement caused by the alienation, so that she could calm down and fall asleep better.

I owe a great deal of my good sleep these past few days to Bello.

But today seems a little different.

Yu Xia always felt like there was a fire burning in her chest that she couldn't let go of. She couldn't quite describe the feeling, but she just felt a bit irritable.

She nestled her head against his chest, constantly inhaling his scent.

She couldn't smell his pheromones, only the faint fragrance that Bello himself possessed.

Yu Xia nuzzled her head against his neck, wanting to smell more of his scent.

Bello also noticed that something was wrong with her. He looked down at her for a while, but didn't ask any questions. He simply picked her up and put her on his lap, patiently stroking her head and back to lull her to sleep.

"What's up with her?"

Yin Ya had just finished clearing the table and hadn't even finished washing the dishes when she sensed Yu Xia's mental energy becoming increasingly agitated. She dropped the dishes and went out to check on the situation.

"It must be that during the duel, the power Her Highness used exceeded the threshold she could withstand."

Bello also released his own spiritual form to soothe Yu Xia's somewhat restless little dolphin spiritual form.

"how come."

Silver Fang sat down beside them and held out her hand to Yu Xia, "Let me see."

Bello paused in stroking Yu Xia's back, looked down at the little princess in his arms, and said softly, "Your Highness, shall we let Silver Fang take a look?"

Yu Xia hummed softly twice and snuggled into Bello's arms again.

Bello raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing that the little princess's face was turning red and hot, and decided to hand her over to Silver Fang for a checkup.

As soon as Yu Xia was in Yin Ya's arms, the heat in her body was somewhat suppressed by his icy aura.

Silver Tooth brushed the hair away from her face, cupped her cheeks in his hands, and said, "Open your eyes."

Yu Xia opened her half-closed eyes, and a layer of mist appeared in her azure eyes, making Bello and the other person's hearts skip a beat.

Silver Fang pressed his forehead against her slightly hot forehead, scanned her body with his mental energy, and said after checking, "It is indeed a bit beyond the threshold."

He was puzzled. "You are of royal blood and are our superior. Your spiritual power can withstand our power, so how could it exceed the threshold?"

Yu Xia didn't answer him. She was very hot, her mind was hot, and her heart was beating fast. She just wanted to cool down and snuggled into Yin Ya's arms.

She preferred Silver Fang's cool embrace to Bello's.

Silver Fang and Bello carefully examined her body again. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, they held her in their arms and resonated with her mentally, soothing her restlessness little by little.

……

Silver Fang didn't want Yu Xia to go to the banquet, but a certain shark clan leader came to find their princess right on time, insisting on taking her to the banquet without any room for argument.

Yu Xia had just come out of the bathroom and was stunned to see Farrell standing in the living room.

Farrell was dressed in a sea tribe costume. The gorgeous and flowing clothes softened his cold and gloomy aura, and the sparkling jewelry on his head and neck added a touch of color to his gray eyes.

Seeing her come out, Farrell glanced at the time on his terminal and said with displeasure, "Why do you always like to arrive at the last minute? Hurry up, don't be the last one to arrive."

Yu Xia dried her hair and moved sideways past him. "What are you doing here?"

As he spoke, he looked at Bello Silver Fang, who was standing there.

Both of them had doubts in their eyes, and a strange thought in their hearts grew stronger.

This strange feeling started when Farrell came to see the princess that afternoon.

The sea creatures have two bases, and their base is some distance away from Farrell's base. When they returned, Metis wanted to go with the little princess, but Silver Fang stopped him.

They dared to stop Metis, but were quite wary of Farrell, and the other guards in the base were also hesitant to stop him.

They still have a chance of winning against Metis, and although Metis loves to pick fights everywhere, he will at least leave some room for maneuver.

But if Farrell were to make a move, they would only become tools for his advancement.

The sea people are not cowards, but in order to prevent Farrell's power from increasing further, none of them want to hand him over.

Furthermore, Farrell did not show any murderous intent, so he probably wasn't looking for a duel with their princess. Therefore, they had no choice but to let him in.

Urged on by Farrell, Yu Xia hurriedly changed her clothes and dressed up simply.

After getting dressed, Yu Xia turned around twice in front of the full-length mirror, and when she felt she was ready, she left the room.

"Let's go." Farrell glanced at her, took a long stride, and walked towards the door.

Yu Xia stared at his retreating figure, then suddenly remembered something and quickly ran in front of him to stop him. "Wait."

Farrell stopped in his tracks. "What?"

Yu Xia looked him up and down, then looked down at herself and finally noticed something was wrong.

Why is what she's wearing so similar to what Farrell is wearing?
"We," Yu Xia said, pointing to his clothes, "aren't we wearing the same clothes?"

They were both wearing traditional sea-dwelling sleeveless dresses, with layers of pearl white and gold gauze, adorned with pearls and beautiful seashells.

The clothing is simple, even simpler than what Silver Tooth and the others usually wear, but it is elegant and stylish, highlighting the characteristics of the sea tribe.

“It’s not that we’re wearing the same clothes,” Farrell said, giving her a steady look.

"Isn't this just wearing the same clothes?" Yu Xia compared the two outfits again, and they looked very similar.

She grabbed the seashell necklace from Farrell's clothes and compared it to the seashell necklace on her own clothes. "Look, even the ornaments are the same."
