A weak and evil woman was exiled? The beastly husbands risked their lives to protect her

Chapter 222 If you're afraid of pain, I'll lend you rabbit ears.
The red-haired boy's chilling words, like those of a demon from hell, rang in Bai Yao's ears:

"From this day forward, I grant you permission to leave this dark world."

"Give yourself a name, anything will do."

"But don't let anyone know that you and I are connected."

"If this gets out, I'll tear you apart myself."

"Remember, you are just my shadow."

"The day I get tired of you, you'll be gone."

"So don't delude yourself into thinking you have any future."

"Don't even think about replacing me."

"Your life is mine, understand?"

The white-haired boy lowered his head and remained silent.

The red-haired boy frowned impatiently: "Are you mute?"

"I understand."

"name."

"Bai Yao".

His voice was very soft, as if it might drift away in the wind at any moment.

"Bai Yao?" The red-haired boy scanned the face up and down, which was exactly the same as his own, except for the hair and eye color.

Pale as a sheet of paper.

Paper is not worthy of shining brightly.

He looked down at him, a smirk playing on his lips. A dark red flame ignited at his fingertips, and with a casual flick of his wrist—

Flames swept past the white-haired boy's ears, scorching a few strands of his snow-white hair.

The red-haired youth scoffed, "You can't even dodge my fire, yet you dare to call yourself 'Yao'?"

The white-haired boy remained silent, but his calm, emerald-green eyes flickered slightly.

He simply recalled a phrase he had heard long ago in the darkness:
I traded my paleness for a moment of brilliance.

A gentle breeze blew by.

Her snow-white hair, cool as snow, gently swept across Bai Yao's high nose bridge and his exquisitely beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

Her pale, slender fingers tightened silently.

He once lived in darkness, longing for freedom and light.

Becoming the Lord of Dark Star was Yu Hanche's order, but also his own choice.

Even if that planet is desolate and barren, and even the officials stationed there are like prisoners.

At that time, however, he was unaware of the existence of the "Dark Female".

They had no idea about the so-called "ultimate place".
Now, he only wants to use this no longer pale, youthful body to stand before her once more—

It lights up briefly once.

But before such an opportunity could come, he had already squandered it.

He messed everything up.
"Hiss—" Jiang Xinli's pained cry suddenly came from behind her.

Bai Yao snapped out of his thoughts, turned around abruptly, and immediately saw a red scar on Jiang Xinli's fair and delicate palm.

It's likely that he was burned by flying charcoal while flipping the grilled fish.

"Xiao Li!" He held his breath, flashed in, and grabbed her hand.

The next second, he flicked his finger, drawing out a stream of water, which he gently poured onto her hand.

"Bai Yaoxing, I don't need your help." Jiang Xinli struggled coldly, trying to pull her hand back.

Bai Yao's hand, however, was like a warm and broad pair of pliers, holding her tightly.

"Little Pear, don't move." His voice was clear and gentle. "If you're afraid of the pain, you can borrow the rabbit ears."

As he spoke, he leaned down slightly and brought the fluffy rabbit ears close to her face.

"Liar." Jiang Xinli snorted coldly and turned her head away.

"Xiao Li, let me apply the medicine for you first." Bai Yao suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, held her hand, put it to his lips, and gently blew on it, one breath at a time.

Once the water stains on Jiang Xinli's hands had dried, he got up and rummaged through the pile of plants she had found earlier, pulling out a lush, green aloe vera leaf.

He deftly used his wind blades to cut open the wound and carefully applied the juice to the back of her hand. "It might leave a scar, but once we return to Dark Star—" Bai Yao's voice softened slightly as he spoke, "Sheng Tianze's healing abilities will help you remove it, so don't worry too much."

Bai Yao reluctantly put her hand back down. "Xiao Li, I know you're angry with me, but right now, we're still in this unfamiliar space and time, and we still have to go to the top of the giant tree."

"So please let me stay with you, protect you, and leave this place safely. As for the future, you can hate me, resent me, or even hit me, scold me, or make me disappear on the spot when we return to Dark Star City. It's up to you."

"Now, go to bed and rest. I'll call you when the food is ready." Bai Yao said, bending down to pick her up and carrying her to the stone bed.

He returned to the campfire and sent some air into the fire.

The fish was cooked quickly.

He took out the banana leaves that Jiang Xinli had picked earlier, chopped them into small pieces with a wind blade, washed them with clean water, and dried them with the wind.

Then, he took a grilled fish, used the wind blade to remove the scales, removed the tenderest parts, and carefully removed all the fish bones before handing it to Jiang Xinli. "Xiaoli, fish tastes best when it's hot."

Looking at the white fish meat, Jiang Xinli inexplicably thought of Sheng Tianze, who would carefully remove the fish bones for her every time she ate fish.

She pursed her lips, her eyes welling up with tears.

Seeing that she didn't take it, Bai Yao said gently, "Little Pear, you caught the fish, and you found the lemongrass and rock salt. You even got injured because of it. Don't you want to try some?"

Jiang Xinli hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it.

She's not that pretentious.

She has no right to be pretentious now.

Bai Yao asked, "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Xinli ignored his gaze and said indifferently, "So-so."

The fish smelled delicious, but at that moment, she was longing to go home, and she was deceived by him.

It just tasted bland and tasteless.

Just as they finished eating the fish, Bai Yao handed them a larger banana leaf.

Beneath the banana leaves was a rectangular tray he had woven from bamboo strips.

On banana leaves, neatly cut slices of grilled matsutake mushrooms are arranged.

Next to it were several peeled, fresh aloe vera leaves.

After finishing their meal, before Jiang Xinli could even speak, Bai Yao had already stood up.

"Little Pear, I'll go keep watch outside the cave. We need to travel tomorrow, so you should go to bed early tonight."

Jiang Xinli looked at his somewhat lonely and thin back and murmured something.

But after taking a deep breath, she looked away.

The dry thatch on the stone bed was very soft; I don't know what method Bai Yao used to knead it.

As soon as Jiang Xinli closed her eyes, she saw countless barbed metal chains flying towards her from the void.

A tall, slender figure in white appeared like the wind, blocking her path. "Little Pear, don't be afraid, I'm here."

She remembered his back, stained with blood, and...
The image of Bai Yao risking his life to save her flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.
Before she knew it, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she gradually drifted off to sleep.

A faint, pale yellow light enveloped her.

When Bai Yao tiptoed in to add firewood, the girl was curled up on her side, her slender and delicate body huddled together.

Bai Yao then realized that she must be cold.

How can a female's body compare to that of a male orc?

A hint of regret flashed in his eyes. He quickly took off his coat, folded it neatly, and gently covered her with it.

Her hair was disheveled and hanging down, obscuring her breathing.

He hesitated for a moment, but still gently reached out and tucked her hair behind her shoulder.

Just as he was about to pull his hand back, the girl reached out and gently grabbed it. "Aze."
