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

Chapter 263 Little Pear, Come with Me
Jiang Xinli turned her head, her gaze sharpening—

Bai Yao, dressed in a crisp white commander's uniform, stood tall behind her.

Her long, snow-white hair cascaded down her shoulders, shimmering faintly in the darkness.

Those emerald green eyes were like a tranquil lake, yet the moment they looked at her, they rippled with tenderness.

"Bai Yao?" Jiang Xinli stood up, a hint of surprise and worry flashing in her eyes. "How did you end up in the Dark Forbidden Zone?"

"Of course, it's for you." Bai Yaoqing smiled gently, opening his arms to her. The star patterns embroidered with silver thread on his cuffs shimmered in the warm light.

Jiang Xinli was slightly stunned.

Unexpectedly, Yu Hanche actually canceled the Dark Forbidden Domain protection barrier.

Without the protective barrier, Bai Yao, as the Lord of the Dark Star, could easily pinpoint the exact location of a high-ranking criminal.

Furthermore, only he, also a 7th-order space-type user, could break Yu Hanche's barrier.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Bai Yao's fingers curled slightly. He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

He lowered his head and gently patted the top of her head. "Sorry... I'm late."

"Now, come with me, okay?" His voice was as clear and gentle as ever.

"Thank you, Bai Yao." For some reason, a warm feeling welled up in Jiang Xinli's heart.

On several occasions in times of crisis, he was always the first to appear by her side.

Although she still had many questions in her mind, now was not the time to discuss them in detail.

She quickly brought up her personal terminal. "This is the location of Sheng Tianze and the others. Let's go and meet up with them."

Bai Yao gently pressed her wrist with his long, slender fingers. "Xiao Li, come back to the official residence with me."

His bright green eyes were full of worry:

"On their way here, they will pass through many spacetime rifts, and the journey will be extremely dangerous. The official residence is heavily guarded, so even if Yu Hanche wanted to pursue them, he would be somewhat hesitant."

He gently stroked her back with his fingertips. "It's much safer and more convenient for them to pick you up directly from the official residence than to meet you on the way."

Jiang Xinli thought for a moment and nodded.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside.

"General, the barrier has been broken!" Night Owl's startled voice rang out from outside.

Jiang Xinli was secretly alarmed. "Bai Yao, we have to leave immediately."

Bai Yao's eyes sharpened, and his long, snow-white hair moved without wind.

He grabbed Jiang Xinli's wrist and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Hold me tight." As soon as Bai Yao's soft voice fell, Jiang Xinli felt the world spinning before her eyes.

She instinctively tightened her arms, pressing her entire body against his lean waist.

When I opened my eyes again, the biting wind was already whistling in my ears.

Bai Yao was already carrying her, flying through the air on the wind.

"We... left the Dark Forbidden Zone?" Jiang Xinli looked up in disbelief.

"Mm." Bai Yao lowered his eyes, a gentle smile shimmering in his emerald green gaze.

His arms wrapped firmly around her waist, making her feel as if she were walking on clouds.

Jiang Xinli noticed something amiss at her feet. "Bai Yao, your special ability—"

She still felt weightless, but it was much better than when she was in that ancient secret realm.

However, she quickly came to a conclusion.

Their first kiss in the secret realm last time greatly enhanced her supernatural abilities and mental strength.

That also has a buff effect on his ability enhancement.

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yao suddenly tightened his embrace. "They seem to be catching up. We need to hurry."

"Mmm." Jiang Xinli buried her face in his chest.

Bai Yao's heartbeat could be heard through his uniform, a steady thump-thump-thump. However, Jiang Xinli didn't smell the familiar and comforting scent of Bai Xue's pheromones.
The spatial scene was distorted once again.

The sound of the wind around them disappeared.

Jiang Xinli's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes—

The person had already appeared in a spacious and bright office.

Looking at the meticulously furnished interior and the insignia of the interstellar prison residence, Jiang Xinli's breath hitched slightly. "Where is this?"

"My office." Bai Yao's emerald green eyes were gentle as water, his fingertips lightly brushing her hair. "Little Pear, welcome to my world."

Jiang Xinli said "Oh," and quickly opened her personal terminal to send a message to Sheng Tianze and the others.

When she released him from her embrace, a dark glint flashed in the man's eyes.

After she finished sending the message, he took her hand and said, "It will take them a while to get here. Would you like to have a look around the place, Xiaoli?"

“Bai Yao—” Jiang Xinli suddenly looked up, “That day, after we left the space-time rift, why did you suddenly leave without saying goodbye?”

Bai Yao's thick, long eyelashes drooped slightly:
"The way superpowers are enhanced on Planet Omega is very special, so the more I use up my superpowers in a short period of time, the worse the backlash becomes."

I don't want you to see me like that.

I only realized it the instant I stepped outside.

As Bai Yao spoke, he gently cupped her cheeks in his hands and said tenderly:
"Xiao Li, I promise." He leaned down slightly, his forehead gently touching hers. "From now on, I will never leave without saying goodbye again and make you worry."

"As for the message you sent me, I saw it. However, after I left Dark Star for a while, there were some issues with the space jump during the return journey, and my signal was blocked."

"However, the official internal signal is working, which is why I arranged for Xinglan and Bai Zhiqing to help you."

"As for later, the photon signal was restored, but I was worried that Yu Hanche would see your message, so I didn't reply in order not to reveal my whereabouts when I came to rescue you."

He finished explaining in one breath, then gently squeezed her palm. "Little Pear, please forgive me."

Jiang Xinli: "Okay."

Right.

Why is she angry with him?
He's not her beastly husband.

Jiang Xinli felt that her previous anger was somewhat inexplicable.

Seeing her exhausted face, he asked with concern, "Xiao Li, it's still a while before dawn, are you sleepy?"

Jiang Xinli: "A little."

"I just got back from the interstellar central prison and I have some urgent business to attend to. My bedroom is right behind my office. Why don't you go to my room and rest for a bit?"

After he finished speaking, he bent down and picked her up in his arms. "I'll wake you up when Sheng Tianze and the others arrive."

“Actually…” Jiang Xinli pointed to the sofa next to her, “I can just lie down there for a bit.”

"That's fine. Would you like some water?" Bai Yao asked softly.

"No need." Jiang Xinli asked curiously, "Do you usually work overtime all the time?"

This is the first time I've ever heard of the Dark Star Lord's official residence and office being connected to his bedroom.

“No,” Bai Yao explained gently. “However, this temporary residence has been modified to facilitate entry into the spacetime rift, with both office and living quarters combined.”

"Oh." Jiang Xinli sat down on the sofa and watched Bai Yao turn and go into the inner room.

Not long after, he returned carrying a pillow and a thin blanket.

Then, he knelt on one knee and gently lifted her ankle with his long, slender fingers.

Before Jiang Xinli could finish speaking, "Myself," her shoe buckle had already been undone.

The man's fingers had distinct knuckles, and under the light, they were as smooth and lustrous as jade.

Her long, snow-white hair cascaded down, revealing her beautifully contoured profile.

As if possessed, Jiang Xinli reached out and gently touched his cheek.

"Bai Yao"
