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

Chapter 279 Thank you, Your Majesty Shuanghuan, for saving my daughter.

"Your Highness! Please slow down!" Light footsteps and a gentle, respectful female voice came from behind.

Jiang Xinli turned her head and was slightly taken aback.

Before me stood a magnificent and imposing palace.

The sound came from the courtyard outside the palace.

She looked around but couldn't find Xue Qianxun.

Looking up, I immediately saw two rows of snow fox guards dressed in magnificent armor, their fox ears twitching slightly.

They were tall and imposing, gripping ice crystal spears and shields tightly in their hands.

Each of them had a cold and stern face with sharp eyes, yet they were completely unaware of her presence.

Jiang Xinli frowned.

She was clearly in Xue Qianxun's mental sea just now.

Based on past experience, she and Xue Qianxun should have returned to reality by now.

Then why did you come back here?
Judging from the architectural style, this should be Ice Soul Star.

Could it be that she was suddenly teleported here for some reason?
Or perhaps, I accidentally entered Xue Qianxun's dream.

And she has not yet left his mental sea.

Jiang Xinli guessed and analyzed one by one, then pinched her leg—

pain.

Not dreaming.

Could it be an illusion?

etc--

hand?
She raised her hand and immediately saw a small, snow-white, furry paw.

As for the legs—

Looking at the equally hairy legs, Jiang Xinli froze on the spot.

The palace walls were carved and polished from a certain type of jade-like stone, making them clear and translucent.

She tiptoed past the guards and walked to the wall for a glance.

Instantaneous pupil dilation:

She turned into—a fox!
A small fox with snow-white fur, only as tall as the guard's knees.
No wonder those guards were so tall and imposing!

She quickly raised her hand to test it, and thankfully, all 10 dodder vines worked normally.

"Your Highness Qianxun, wait for me~" A panting voice came from the doorway.

Jiang Xinli held her breath. "Qianxun, Your Highness?"

Just as she was about to walk outside, she saw a little baby, about five years old, dressed in fine clothes, with red lips and white teeth, running in from outside the palace.

It is a fox-beastman cub.

He has a pair of beautiful, jewel-like golden-blue eyes.

It has a pair of beautiful, snow-white ears on its head.

A fluffy, snow-white tail swayed gently behind him as he ran.

"Your Highness Qianxun!" The guard respectfully curtsied to him.

"Your Highness Qianxun, please wait for me." A gentle-looking palace lady followed behind the little boy, her hands protectively guarding his back like an eagle protecting its young.

This is--

Light Snow in Qianxun?

"Qianxun?" she called softly.

The little dumpling and the guards around her seemed to turn a deaf ear.

Jiang Xinli was slightly stunned.

She took a big step and ran towards Xue Qianxun, raising her hand to try to stop him.

There were steady footsteps coming from around the corner.

"Mother Queen!" Xue Qianxun called out crisply.

Then it raised its chubby little hand, swung it forward, and passed it through her body—

Jiang Xinli turned her head and saw that Xiaoxue Qianxun had rushed into the arms of a beautiful woman with a graceful and noble demeanor and a powerful aura.

Behind the woman followed a group of handsome and distinguished male orcs.

There were snow foxes, wolves, snakes, rabbits, and she even seemed to see a qilin and a phoenix?

In terms of sheer numbers, the Snow Fox Beastmen are more numerous.

So, this is Xue Qianxun's mother, the Ice Soul Star Empress, and her beast husbands?

The woman smiled kindly and spoke gently, "Xiao Xun, you sneaked out of the palace again?" "Yes. But...Mother, I heard that very distinguished guests have arrived from Ice Soul Star." Xiao Xue Qianxun nuzzled her mother's arm and said in a childish voice:
"I heard it's a big golden dragon!"

The woman ruffled his hair. "Yes. Would you like to go with the Queen Mother?"

A female official came over and bowed, "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang and Vice Lord Xing have arrived."

Jiang Xinli was slightly taken aback: Lord Jiang, Vice Lord Xing?

Why does that sound so familiar?

Could it be——

"Okay," the woman said simply.

The gentleness from before was gone, replaced by a touch of authority.

They walked very fast.

Jiang Xinli is not yet used to walking on four legs.

After a few tries with my left hand and left foot, I finally got used to it.

Fortunately, her sense of smell is now exceptionally keen.

With a quick step of her short legs, she followed the faint scent of fir trees left by Xue Qianxun.

After wandering around, Xue Qianxun's scent disappeared at the entrance of a main hall carved from ice and snow.

As usual, the entrance was guarded by snow foxes.

Even though she knew they couldn't see her, she still walked cautiously, slowing her pace.

A gentle and melodious voice came from inside the palace, "Thank you, Your Majesty Shuanghuan, for saving my daughter."

"Lord Jiang, you're too kind." Another female voice, authoritative yet gentle, said; it was Xue Qianxun's mother.

She continued, "Our names both contain the character 'frost,' so we can be considered to be destined for each other."

霜？
Jiang Xinli was startled.

Her mother's name was Jiang Xuanshuang!

My heart suddenly leaped into my throat.

She bypassed the guards, walked to the wall, and tried it.

The wall was like a jelly, very bouncy.

She squeezed it in, managing to fit only half a paw in.

Jiang Xinli retreated, and with a light wave of her paw, released two red dodder vines.

The vines quickly tore a small gap, and she squeezed her small body through it.

Suddenly, everything became bright and clear.

Unlike the pristine white exterior, the interior is resplendent in gold.

Jiang Xinli quickly scanned the room and spotted a beautiful woman with exceptional poise sitting next to Shuang Huan.

Behind her stood a golden dragon beastman with golden dragon horns on his head, a handsome face, and a noble demeanor.

"Father, Mother," Jiang Xinli murmured softly, tears welling up in her eyes.

She seemed to have seen them many times in her dreams.

But no matter how hard I try, I can't remember.

She walked towards the two men, her body trembling.

Previously, when I was receiving Star Soul Fragments in the Ancient Secret Realm, I also saw some fragment images.

But it wasn't very clear, and I couldn't hear anything.

Then Jiang Xuanshuang said, "Qianxun is also five years old this year, which is a month younger than Xiaoli."

Shuang Huan laughed and said, "In our lifespan of several hundred years, this month is better than nothing."

Holding a small photograph in her hand, Xiaoxue Qianxun walked up to Jiang Xuanshuang and said in a childish voice:

"Lord Jiang, when I grow up, will I be able to meet Jiang Xinli?"

"Of course." Jiang Xuanshuang smiled gently.

Xiaoxue Qianxun turned her head to look at her mother, then turned back around, her small body standing straight:

"Then let's make a promise with a high five, okay?"

"Of course." Jiang Xuanshuang couldn't help but chuckle, got up from her seat, and half-squatted down in front of Xiaoxue Qianxun.

Jiang Xinli looked at Xiaoxue Qianxun, who had an innocent and adorable face, and was slightly taken aback.

So, this is what Xue Qianxun said when they first met that she had a connection with her mother?
Looking back on that first meeting, and then to later times, and now...

Jiang Xinli suddenly felt—

Many things seem preordained, as if they were destined from the beginning.
