Chapter 122 Lifelong Marking is Impossible
“…”
Lilith was silent for a moment. Sentinels can form a partnership with guides, that is, they can mark each other, so that they can sense each other during battle and better adjust their mental barriers.
The exploration team originally had no guide members, so no one thought of this, but Lanqi suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention to Lilith.
There is no sentinel who does not desire to have his own guide, especially R is caring enough, strong enough, she does not care about the danger, and is willing to purify for them,
To be honest, Lilith didn't really care about the marking itself. By marking, the sentinel's mental power could be transmitted to her at any time, which was basically a hundred benefits with no harm.
But the problem was, she couldn't just tag Lanqi, right? The captain had to be tagged, right? Jayne, who excelled at fast breaks, had to be tagged, too. If all the team members were tagged, wouldn't Shen Jiaxu have to be tagged too?
This is what she is really worried about.
If Shen Jiaxu wasn't there, she would be happy to leave her mark on the exploration team.
As if noticing R's silence, Robbins sighed and wanted to take him away, but Shen Jiaxu, who was holding the guide, suddenly spoke.
"They say sentinels are greedy. I didn't think much of it before, but now I've seen it with my own eyes."
His beautiful eyes fell arrogantly on Lanqi.
"R has only completed her second mission, right? And you're already trying to bind her to your side. Even though she's only a B-rank guide, there aren't many guides capable of purification. Rather than saying you like her, you're more likely to want to use her to complete your exploratory mission. That's outrageous."
"After marking you, R will have to rely on you to relieve her during her passionate period. Do you want to have her all to yourself?"
Under his ruthless rebuttal, Lanqi looked at the captain in panic and at a loss.
"No, I don't think so. I want our team to be together... together..."
"Together?"
Shen Jiaxu sneered, pinching his palm with his fingertips.
"Let's not even talk about whether your application will be approved. With so many people, shouldn't you also consider whether her body can handle it? After three days of psychiatric treatment, no one thought of giving her a massage. You're leaving her to go on this mission with sore muscles today. Is this your sincerity?"
Shen Jiaxu didn't understand why he was so angry. What made him even angrier was that R didn't refuse directly, but seemed to be considering it.
Why is she so gentle and willing to give whatever she wants to others, but so distant to him?
Robbins' pupils shrank, and he finally realized why Shen Jiaxu had just asked him to give R a massage. This was something that should have been done yesterday, but they had both ignored it because they were uncomfortable.
"Lanqi, come back."
He said solemnly, and then walked to Lilith.
A temporary mark wouldn't have much impact on the guide, but Lanqi obviously wanted a lifelong mark. It was rude to say such words to the guide.
"To apply for a lifetime mark, the sentinel and guide must have spent at least a year together, and the application must be made by the guide himself to avoid deception. I failed to properly discipline my team members. This is my fault. I apologize."
Lan Qi lowered his head belatedly, realizing his own impoliteness, and his face turned pale.
"I'm sorry, R. I just...I apologize. I'll do anything you ask. Please don't leave the exploration team. The captain really needs you. I can apply for a transfer."
Before Lilith could say a word, the situation had already spiraled out of control. She hadn't even realized that what Lanci wanted was a lifelong mark, which she couldn't give him. She thought about it and made a suggestion.
"I don't have any plans to make a lifelong mark for now. How about this: before each mission, you can come to me for a temporary mark, but only up to three people can be marked at the same time."
If there are more, she cannot guarantee that she can hide her spirit body well. After all, it is only a temporary mark and can be cancelled at any time.
Feeling the hand on her waist tightening again, Lilith quickly comforted him. After all, although Shen Jiaxu was a pervert, he was still thinking about her.
"You can come too, but you have to...apply in advance so I can prepare."
If I can't avoid it, the worst that can happen is I can use mental potions to upgrade it to A-level and make a mark that is more temporary than temporary, Lilith thought a little guiltily.
Shen Jiaxu originally thought that he would be excluded again, but he did not expect to get a promise from R, who had clearly avoided him like the plague.
Are all guides so fickle? They immediately cave in when threatened, and try to gain favor by acting a little pitiful.
Shen Jiaxu withdrew his thoughts and rubbed her exposed neck with his hair affectionately.
"Finally you remembered me, R."
In the midst of chaos and a dead atmosphere, Lilith and the others returned to the base. Robbins once again apologized solemnly and hurriedly took Jayne to report.
Lanqi looked very remorseful, and after looking at Lilith several times, he hesitated to speak, and was slapped by his teammates and dragged away.
Only Shen Jiaxu was left standing there.
'You're not leaving yet?'
Lilith tried to convey her feelings with her eyes, but she forgot that her helmet blocked everything. Fortunately, Shen Jiaxu was quite good at reading people's expressions, and he leaned over and hugged her tightly in a very good mood.
"I'll be leaving first. I'll go study the application. I can't let those guys get there first this time."
After Lilith returned to her residence and forced herself to wash up, she immediately fell into a deep sleep. This time, she did not have a nightmare. When she opened her eyes, it was already midnight. If it were not for her stomach rumbling, she would probably have continued to sleep for several hours.
Not wanting to eat mushroom-flavored nutritional supplements anymore, Lilith could only yawn and go out to find food. The guide canteen was open 24 hours a day and was near Louis' office.
The sentries were full of energy, some were still fighting outside, and when they saw the guide approaching, they stopped a little embarrassedly, and continued when she was far away.
When Lilith approached, the lights in the two-story building were still on.
"That guy hasn't slept yet? It seems like being a prince isn't easy either."
Lilith muttered, and just as she was about to go around to the back to the cafeteria, she heard a loud shout in the silent night sky.
"A guide! An S-rank sentinel is seriously injured!"
The dim emergency lights of the base immediately lit up. Colin rushed out of the small building and paused for a moment when he saw Lilith.
The orange-haired young man, carrying a sentry in black uniform, hurried past Lilith and knocked on the guide's hut covered with vines.
"Alice! Alice! Come out and save them!"
He shifted his posture impatiently, and the helmet of the man hanging on him fell aside, revealing mottled silver hair stained with blood.
