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

Chapter 292 Simultaneous Marriages: Three Princes?!

Sheng Tianze frowned. "To be precise, it's an energy carrying an evil aura."

"Energy?" Jiang Xinli asked curiously. "Could this Ocean Star be a huge illusion?"

Aside from illusions, she couldn't imagine what other ability could allow her and other females to instantly transform into beast forms.

It can also instantly change the clothes of all the male orcs.

"The crucial point is that he actually knew the names of the female master and Princess Xuexi, as well as Xue Qianxun's feelings for the female master—"

Halfway through her sentence, a hint of suspicion flashed in Yuehua Yin's eyes, "What is their purpose in offering to escort us to the deep-sea territory?"

"That's actually what I wanted to ask too. But just now—" Jiang Xinli was interrupted by a knock on the door:
"Miss Xinli." It was Lancer.

Seeing that Sheng Tianze had removed the spatial barrier, Jiang Xinli said softly, "Please come in."

The door opened, and Lancer and a young man carrying an exquisite tray walked in one after the other.

On the tray was a gorgeous purple tulle dress inlaid with pearls of various colors, and a set of exquisite jewelry in the same color scheme.

The two bowed and paid their respects.

Lancer took the tray from the knight and respectfully handed it to Jiang Xinli with both hands:

"Miss Xinli, these are your clothes for tomorrow."

Jiang Xinli was taken aback. "Can I wear my own?"

“Of course. However—” Lancer smiled elegantly, “when you arrive in the Deep Sea Territory and meet the two princes, please change into the royal attire we have prepared for you.”

Jiang Xinli and the beastmen exchanged glances. "Your Highnesses?"

Lancer: "Yes, Miss Xinli. Didn't the nobles explain this to you when they arranged for you to marry into the Deep Sea Territory?"

Your Highnesses?

Marriage?

noble?

Jiang Xinli was completely confused.

Several beastmen, listening to Lancer's increasingly outrageous words, their veins bulging and their bestial features contorted, erupted in a second.

Jiang Xinli could only frantically give them meaningful glances.

Thinking of the bizarre rabbit ears on her head, she suppressed her shock and tentatively asked, "You mean, our rabbit race?"

“Exactly.” Lancer smiled and nodded. “The marriage alliance between nobles and other land races and our deep-sea territory was agreed upon by the ocean and the land a thousand years ago.”

Jiang Xinli was taken aback: A thousand years ago.

It was another thousand years ago.
“However,” he paused, “originally the marriage was between three princes, but our Prince Ksun has not returned to his territory. So, for now, the marriage is between our Prince Lingyuan and Prince Yunbo.”

The temperature inside the room suddenly dropped.

Jiang Xinli knew that the emotions of several beastmen were about to explode.

Jiang Xinli: [Aze, don't be angry yet, wait until he finishes speaking.]
Sheng Tianze: [Okay.]
"Your Highness Lingyuan is the strongest shark prince in our Deep Sea Territory, and he is also the commander of our Deep Sea Territory Legion."

"Your Highness Yunbo is the most noble mermaid prince in our deep-sea territory, possessing the most noble mermaid bloodline among the sea race."

"As for His Highness C'Thun, who has not yet returned, he is the most talented octopus prince among our sea race. His situation is somewhat complicated, and I will explain it to you in detail when we arrive in the deep sea territory."

Jiang Xinli held her breath. "You mean, I'm going to marry into the families of three princes from the Deep Sea at the same time?!"

"No, to be precise, it's one of you—"

Jiang Xinli: "You mean, all the females who boarded the ship today could be?"

"Not only those who boarded this warship today, but also another warship personally led by the Grand Master of our Deep Sea Royal Knights."

"But objectively speaking, you and the snake-woman from that warship should be the top choices for this marriage alliance."

Her mental strength is S-rank, one level higher than yours. But in other aspects, she is far inferior to you. — Jiang Xinli
S-rank mental strength?
female?
Snake race?
Jiang Xinli: "Excuse me, but may I ask her name?"

Lancer: "Miss Wanwan."

Jiang Xinli: “.”

So, Jiang Wanwan also arrived at this Ocean Star!
"Can we give up the opportunity for marriage?" she asked.

A flicker of unreadable emotion crossed Lancer's eyes, and his tone turned slightly cold:
"I'm sorry, Miss Xinli, I think you wouldn't choose to give up the opportunity for a marriage alliance."

Jiang Xinli: "Why?"

Lancer: "I'm sorry, I'm not authorized to answer that question."

Jiang Xinli: "Does she have to marry three princes at the same time?"

“Yes, Miss Xinli, this is to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline. And—” he bowed slightly, “you know that, whether in your world or in our deep-sea territory, polyandry is legally permissible.”

In our deep-sea territory, the royal family holds the highest honor, but we too must abide by the law and tradition.

Jiang Xinli asked in confusion, "Since they are members of the deep-sea royal family, why don't they marry members of the sea tribe?"

“I’m sorry, Miss Xinli, I’m not authorized to answer this question.” Lancer smiled apologetically. “After all, this is something that we, the ocean and your continent, agreed upon a thousand years ago.”

Jiang Xinli frowned: Ocean? Continent?
She asked, "Has this planet always been an ocean?"

Lancer neither confirmed nor denied, but continued:

“Miss Xinli, our Sea Emperor has just passed away. Currently, the power of the Deep Sea Empire is temporarily being held jointly by the two princes.”

If you succeed in securing a marriage alliance with one of the three princes, perhaps the answers to all your questions will be revealed.

Jiang Xinli took a deep breath. "How do I obtain a marriage alliance opportunity?"

Lancer bowed slightly: "Once we reach the Deep Sea Territory, Miss Xinli will naturally know."

After he finished speaking politely and bowed, he and another knight respectfully withdrew.

Xuexi and the others arrived at the door just then.

The door was closed, and a spatial barrier was erected.

"What kind of marriage alliance is this?!" Hua Xi completely exploded. "Mistress, let's head back home!"

"Xinli, do you know what's going on?" Xuexi stepped forward, took Jiang Xinli's hand, and looked somewhat serious.

The two exchanged a brief explanation.

Another knight went to her room, brought her clothes, and said almost the same thing.

However, Xuexi's mental strength is low, making her chances of marrying one of the three princes extremely low.

Xue Xi frowned. "I will most likely have to form a marriage alliance with another royal family in the Deep Sea Territory."

Moonlight Silver spoke up, "So, this trial is more like a kind of long-lost interstellar RPG role-playing game."

“It’s not just role-playing—” Jiang Xinli frowned, “I have a feeling that this marriage is not a good thing.”

"After all, it's better to keep the benefits within the family. If the goal is to ensure the purity of the bloodline, why choose a land mammal?"

"Furthermore, Lancer keeps emphasizing that the agreement between the continent and the sea a thousand years ago sounds a lot like some kind of—"

Jiang Xinli didn't know what words to use to describe her.

Ye Kuo raised an eyebrow, "Some kind of ceasefire agreement?"

“Yes.” No sooner had Jiang Xinli finished speaking than Xue Xi added:

"Xinli, that mermaid prince, could he be the one from the scene you predicted—"

"Evil and cruel, you mermaid."

The new dungeon is a bit of a wild idea, just something that popped into my head in a flash. These two transitional chapters are a little bit dull, but we'll get back to the beastmen tomorrow! ~(#^.^#)
