Chapter 304 Lord Baiyao, in your room...

Xuan Ying's cold, white fingers caressed Jiang Xinli's black hair:

"We discovered a large complex of land-based structures on the seabed. However, due to the passage of time, those structures have collapsed into ruins."

“A land-based architectural complex?” Jiang Xinli was taken aback. “So, this ocean planet wasn’t entirely covered by oceans from the beginning?”

“Possibly,” Ye Kuo nodded. “We’re still in the ruins; we’ve found quite a few corpses and remains.”

"Unfortunately, the remains have turned to dust, and anyone who gets close will be washed away by the water."

Ye Kuo frowned as he spoke, "Those corpses and remains also had severed limbs."

Jiang Xinli suddenly felt a chill down her back. "This—"

She looked up and glanced out the window.

The warship is sailing smoothly.

In the distance lies the azure sea.

The sunlight scattered down, making the water sparkle.

At first glance, it is peaceful and beautiful.

"Those wreckage and ruins shouldn't be related to our search for the star gate, right?" Hua Xi asked, puzzled.
"After all, shouldn't our biggest problem right now be figuring out that bizarre arranged marriage?"

Jiang Xinli rested her chin on her hands and shook her head. "It's not necessarily unrelated."

"The last time we were on Mist Star was part of our first phase of trials, somewhat like leveling up and fighting monsters. But this time on Ocean Star—"

She drooped her long rabbit ears and glanced at the several beastmen.
"I feel that, in addition to the role-playing that Yuehua mentioned, there will be something more complicated."

“Like—” she thought for a moment, “I was in Lancer’s room just now, and I saw glacial blue runes on his forehead, and—”

He was interrupted halfway through his sentence by Hua Xi's exclamation, "Mistress, you actually went to Lancer's room alone?!"

"Do you know what it means when a female goes alone into a male orc's room?!" he said angrily.

“You—” Jiang Xinli glanced at him speechlessly, “Little peacock, if you keep making such a fuss, all your nightly service to the emperor will be canceled.”

Noticing her tone was a bit harsh, she softened it slightly, "Have you forgotten what happened that day when Xuan Ying lost control of his emotions?"

"Oh." Upon hearing that he was going to be canceled from serving Jiang Xinli in bed, Hua Xi panicked and, looking aggrieved, slid down and knelt down to hug Jiang Xinli's legs.
"Little Pear, I was wrong. I swear, I will definitely change this time."

"Hmph." Jiang Xinli deliberately feigned a cold snort.

Several beast-hunters looked over with jealous expressions. "Mistress, give us an explanation?"

"Brothers... First of all, I didn't know that the teleportation room led to his room. Also, I only went to the living room."

Jiang Xinli changed the subject.

"The key thing is that the portrait of the mermaid prince in his room is very strange, as if it has been enchanted by some kind of dark magic."

As she spoke, she reached out and tugged at the rabbit ears on her head.

"Xuexi and I, and all the terrestrial females who entered Ocean Star, were all bewitched."

“You too—” She glanced at the beastmen who had been changed into red royal guard uniforms.

"And then there's that lurking gaze that appears from time to time, and Lancer and the others' ability to summon energy mounts and use energy swords, and so on—"

Jiang Xinli frowned. "This Ocean Star is probably much more difficult than the Mist Star."

Magical restrictions, runes, energy... and Lancer alone possesses seventh-tier superpowers.
None of these are the reasons why they can leave by fighting and killing each other.

“Indeed.” Hua Xi’s orange eyes sparkled as she looked at Jiang Xinli.
"Little Pear, you're amazing! How did you come up with all that?"

"I—" Jiang Xinli smiled awkwardly, "was just thinking randomly."

When she was acting on ancient Earth, she read a lot of storybooks.

"So, Lili means that we should collect all the clues we can find and see as soon as possible?" Sheng Tianze said, glancing subtly at Jiang Xinli's room. He had noticed Bai Yao the moment he broke through his spatial barrier and appeared in Jiang Xinli's room.

He seemed to be standing still, without moving.

So, he's not ready to meet them face-to-face yet?
Looking at it this way, Bai Yao, who had an arrogant and domineering demeanor, whom he had met at the temporary official residence last time, made him somewhat suspicious.

He glanced at Jiang Xinli.

The girl was deep in thought, her hand supporting her chin.

It seems she doesn't know that Bai Yao has arrived.

Sheng Tianze silently withdrew his gaze.

Jiang Xinli's eyes suddenly lit up. "I remember Aze saying that when we go to the Ultimate Land, we can not only obtain the ultimate interstellar power, but also learn the secrets of the origin of the universe?"

"Yes. My wording at the time wasn't very precise. To be accurate, it was the secret of the origin of the interstellar beast world."

Sheng Tianze nodded and smiled gently, "Lili, has something come to mind?"

Jiang Xinli bit her lip. "Perhaps, this ocean star is also related to the origin of the interstellar beast world."

“I think so too,” Xue Qianxun, who had been quiet all along, interjected.
“Those mutated sea creatures have the limbs of land beastmen on their bodies. And in the underwater ruins that Ye Kuo and the others saw, the limbs of those land beastmen had also disappeared. Perhaps there is some connection between them.”

"Furthermore, our marriage alliance with the sea tribe was arranged 1000 years ago. We also need to understand what happened 1000 years ago."

Jiang Xinli frowned. "The lifespan of the sea race is far longer than we imagined. Their mental rage health bars are also much stronger than yours."

Xue Qianxun raised an eyebrow. "Xinli, what do you mean?"

Jiang Xinli: "That Lancer looks no more than 20 years old, but he is actually 300 years old. He has been fighting all these years, but his mental riot value is only 37%."

"Then about the marriage alliance—" Hua Xi asked calmly, clenching her fist.

Jiang Xinli said, "As Yuehua said, it's probably not a good thing. But judging from Lanse's tone, it seems that without a marriage alliance, it's impossible to find the Star Gate and leave this place."

Yuehua Yin's silver eyes narrowed slightly: "Since ancient times, in any country, marriage alliances have been nothing more than political alliances, territorial expansion, bloodline purification, and clan continuation."

But clearly, this marriage alliance has nothing to do with these reasons.

He frowned slightly. "So, the core issue probably lies in the true purpose of the royal family's choice to marry a mammalian female from the Lu tribe."

Xuan Ying grabbed Jiang Xinli's arm. "Whatever the reason, those three wild men want to marry you. They should ask your husband if he agrees first."

The beastmen and Xue Qianxun, unusually united, declared, "We disagree too!"

"It's just acting... Besides, there are so many females, it might not be me," Jiang Xinli said casually.

After she finished speaking, she felt dizzy.

Sheng Tianze reached out and gently massaged her temples.

"Lili, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Once we get to the Deep Sea Territory, many problems will be easily solved."

"Okay, Aze, I understand." She instinctively leaned into his arms.

Seeing her nestled in his arms, Sheng Tianze smiled slightly.

Saint Tianze, [Lili, Lord Bai Yaoxing just arrived and is in your room.]
Jiang Xinli was taken aback and glanced guiltily at the remaining beastmen.

Seeing that they were still engrossed in their discussion, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xinli: [Thank you, Aze.]
"Brothers, you guys keep discussing, I'm going back to my room for a bit~" She secretly kissed Sheng Tianze, smiled gently, and got up.

The beastmen didn't think much of it when they saw that she was going back alone.

Seeing the girl's barely concealed joy, Sheng Tianze's deep golden eyes darkened slightly...
