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

Chapter 318 Don't be afraid, your husband will protect you.

Jiang Xinli's mental strength level is not bad.

However, with her level 5 ability, she would have been at a complete disadvantage against Ye Kuo and his group, who were only level 3 at the time.

It's unclear whether the reason she's the only female in the entire galaxy to have awakened superpowers is due to something else.

Xuexi thought for a moment, "It's possible, because your current beastmen are all Light Beastmen."

She had a wild idea: "Just like how mixed-race genes are stronger than those of the same race. Maybe you need the buff of mixed-race genes right now."

"Mixed-race genes?" Jiang Xinli was completely confused.

Aren't her several beast husbands enough to be mixed-race with other races?

This involves so many races!
Seeing that she didn't react, Xuexi simply pulled her into a small storage room in the suite, which was conveniently located away from the bedroom area.

With a mysterious expression, she lowered her voice and said, "Xinli, I'll tell you a secret."

"A secret?" Jiang Xinli teased, "The kind that involves someone dying?"

"Of course not." Xue Xi smiled and said, "The reason I was able to upgrade my mental strength this time is not only because the time was almost up, but also because I secretly met with the dolphin knight who was responsible for guarding me these past two days."

Jiang Xinli: "...That?"

She was slightly surprised for a second, but quickly came to her senses.

Such things are quite normal in the interstellar beast world.

As long as you're both willing, that's fine.

Jiang Xinli was puzzled, "But he can't leave Ocean Star with you."

"It doesn't matter. Besides, I really like him, and he likes me too. I don't need to take responsibility, that's enough." A hint of shyness flashed across Xuexi's face, but her tone was light and breezy.

"Moreover, this marriage alliance with the sea tribe will most likely be allocated according to mental strength level, and I was only at level E before."

"Even if this marriage is just a formality, I don't want to marry into the lowest level of the royal family."

No matter what, she was once a princess of Ice Soul Star.

Compared to marrying into the lowest-ranking royal family, casually favoring a male beastman is nothing.

Xuexi steered the conversation back to the topic, "Since Lancer could say that, Xinli, you should actually give him a try."

A hint of regret flashed in her eyes, "Although I would prefer you to consider my cousin."

Jiang Xinli frowned slightly, then suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Xuexi, since your beast husband could use the fox clan's secret techniques to predict a bloody disaster, did he also predict whether the Star Gate was located in the deep sea territory?"

Xuexi shook her head. "No, their calculations can only predict good or bad fortune, not anything else."

"Oh."

As soon as the two returned to the living room, they saw eleven men sitting there, their eyes immediately turning towards them.

The two were taken aback, and asked in unison, "Why did you all come out?"

Xuan Ying crossed his arms and legs, a mocking smile playing on his lips:
"Of course I came out to see what grand plan you two were discussing inside."

"Cousin, don't corrupt my little pear." Xue Qianxun looked at Xue Xi with a reproachful look.

"Your little pear baby?" Xuan Ying sneered. "Little Seven, the term 'little pear baby' isn't something you, as a mistress, can just call out casually."

"A mistress? Xiao Qi?" Hua Xi looked at Xue Qianxun, then at Xuan Ying, his pupils dilating in shock. "You viper, you actually call him Xiao Qi, your mistress? What do you mean by that?"

"Ask Little Silly Pear about that." Xuan Ying glanced at Jiang Xinli with cold eyes, looking as if he wanted to devour her alive.

Hua Xi looked at Jiang Xinli, her orange gaze softening instantly. "Little Lili, is that what Xuan Ying meant?"

Xuan Ying didn't say he hadn't remembered yet.

In the past few days, Jiang Xinli has been focusing on staying in the houses of several beastmen.

But it always disappears for a short while each day.

Every time I come back, I smell a bit of cool pine pheromone.

So, in the past few days—after realizing something, Hua Xi suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.

Xue Qianxun spoke coldly, "Xuanying, whether it's a mistress or Xiaoqi, it's not up to you to decide."

Jiang Xinli has already made a promise to him.

Therefore, before leaving Ocean Star, he didn't want to say anything more in front of her beastmen.

After all, she didn't want to put Jiang Xinli in a difficult position.

"Do you want to be the sixth one?" Xuan Ying sneered. "Too bad, you're too late."

"Alright, Xiaoying." Jiang Xinli glanced at Xuan Ying, who looked jealous, then looked at Xue Qianxun and gave him a comforting look.

Sheng Tianze glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "We're about to enter an S-level contaminated zone, so let's start preparing in advance."

Before the words were finished, the indoor loudspeaker beeped:
[Friendly reminder: The warship will enter a Class S deep-sea contaminated zone in one minute. All personnel must remain indoors and are strictly prohibited from leaving the premises!]

Mo Lin frowned. "How could it be so fast?"

The people inside the room instantly dropped their playful smiles and became serious in a second.

Sheng Tianze reached out to Jiang Xinli, "Lili, come here to me."

Just as Jiang Xinli was about to walk towards him, "Whoosh—"

A blue serpent tail coiled Jiang Xinli into Xuan Ying's arms.

He smiled and said, "Sheng Tianze, don't forget, this is the deep sea."

“Your superpowers—” His icy blue vertical pupils swept over Sheng Tianze, Hua Xi, Ye Kuo, and Yue Huayin one by one, “To be honest, here, they’re probably all trash.”

As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Xinli into his arms, saying, "Little silly pear, don't be afraid, your husband will protect you."

Yuehua Yin's silver eyes narrowed slightly, and a silver longsword gleaming with cold light appeared in her hand. "Xuanying isn't as bad as you say."

Of the group, his ability was indeed the most awkward.

Fire-based abilities have no place here.

However, he was able to carve out a bloody path even using only cold weapons.

"Shh—" Jiang Xinli frowned and glanced out the dark porthole. "That feeling of being watched has returned."

As soon as he finished speaking, the warship, which had been moving smoothly, began to shake violently.

Ferocious cries and wailing sounds faintly drifted from around the well-soundproofed warship.

"What's that?" Xuexi pointed towards the porthole, her eyes widening in surprise.

Jiang Xinli looked over and held her breath.

Countless palm-widths of colored light crisscrossed outside the porthole.

Crimson blood, mixed with white sand, and fragments of seaweed, rocks, and limbs, floated among them.

Jiang Xinli realized, "It's the energy sword of the Deep Sea Royal Knights."

“They are killing the mutated beasts,” Ye Kuo said.

Xuexi said, "So, they weren't lying; they really were doing their best to escort us."

Mo Lin suggested, "Should we go and help?"

"Wait a moment." Sheng Tianze raised his hand to stop them.

Soon, chaotic footsteps and wails could be heard from the corridor outside the cabin door.

"Could it be that those mutated beasts have already entered the warship?" Mo Lin said, striding to the hatch, peering through the peephole.

Then, when he reached for the hatch, he found it was locked.

He turned around, his face grave, and said:
"Everyone, we're trapped inside."

　Babies, I've been super busy these past few days, plus I need to sort out some logic and settings from the new dungeon, so the pace of these last two chapters has been a bit slow. I'll try to get to the main topic tomorrow~
