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

Chapter 345 The Wolf Husband's Temptation 2.0
"Yes, little brother Hua Xi~"

"Younger brother?!" Hua Xi couldn't help but exclaim, his ahoge standing on end. "You vixen, let me tell you, I'll only ever be the female master's puppy-like younger brother. You want to be my older brother? No way!"

"Oh dear—" Xue Qianxun exclaimed, "It seems I'm also younger than Xinli baby."

“I want to be Xinli’s little puppy brother too.” Xue Qianxun said, burying his head in Jiang Xinli’s arms, his fluffy fox ears rubbing against Jiang Xinli’s chin: “Speaking of which, foxes are also canines.”

Seeing his cryptic remarks, Hua Xi simply knelt down on the spot, pressed his chest against Jiang Xinli's knees, hugged her legs and shook them vigorously, crying out:

"Little Pear, now that you have the fox spirit, do you no longer need the little peacock?"

Ye Kuo gave him a disdainful look: "Hua Xi, how come your kneeling is getting smoother and smoother?"

Hua Xi glared at him, "None of your business."

"Alright, you two are acting like three-year-olds." Jiang Xinli said, laughing and crying at the same time. She reached out and pinched Xue Qianxun's ear, then reached out and rubbed Hua Xi's head. "Let's get back to business."

Ye Kuo chimed in, "Yes, let's get down to business."

"Okay." After acting for so long, Xue Qianxun, now officially recognized, sat up straight in a second. "Shall I speak first?"

"Okay." Jiang Xinli gestured for Hua Xi, who was kneeling, to find a seat and sit down properly.

Hua Xi gritted her teeth, shook her head, continued to hug her leg, and plopped down on the carpet.

Xue Qianxun spoke up, “The sacred domain and sacred tree of the deep sea territory are very similar to some ancient legends of our Ice Soul Star Fox Clan.”

Sheng Tianze raised an eyebrow, "The legend of the fox clan?"

“Yes.” Xue Qianxun nodded. “When Xinli talked about sacrifice and emotional energy before, I felt that it was somewhat familiar, but I couldn’t remember it at the time.”

"It wasn't until I learned that my cousin had been betrothed to a seal beastman and taken to his mansion, under the pretense of cultivating feelings before marriage, that I realized what was going on."

Jiang Xinli was taken aback. "Xuexi was betrothed to the seal beastman?"

Xue Qianxun: "Yes, they are also royalty, but from a collateral branch."

Hua Xi looked at Jiang Xinli and asked, "So, of all the Lu Clan females who came this time, only Xiao Lili is currently unmarried?"

"Isn't that great?" Ye Kuo interjected.

Yuehua Yin: "Alright, let's not change the subject. Xue Qianxun, you can continue."

Xue Qianxun: "Legend has it that in ancient times, there were many branches of the fox clan, among which the most famous was the Qingqiu fox clan."

"The Love Tree is an ancient sacred tree of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Legend has it that it was formed by the Fox Clan's ancestors with their spiritual power and obsession, and it carries the love and karma of the Fox Clan over thousands of years."

"If a member of the fox clan falls in love, they must make a vow of love under the Love Tree, using blood as a medium to tie their souls to the tree, symbolizing that they will never be separated in life or death."

"The love tree will produce flowers or fruits that represent lovers, and the state of the flowers and leaves directly reflects the feelings between the two parties. If one party changes their mind or encounters misfortune, the flowers will wither. If true love remains unchanged, the flowers will never fade."

Jiang Xinli continued, "The Love Tree can help the fox clan obtain spiritual power or provide certain energy?"
But the Love Tree might wither for some reason, and then someone would need to offer a sacrifice or give up all their spiritual power?

"Xinli, how did you know?" Xue Qianxun was taken aback.

After all, this legend only exists in some of the supernatural tales of the royal family of Ice Soul Star, and is not known to outsiders.

The other beastmen also looked on with curiosity.

Jiang Xinli laughed and said, "These are all things I often saw in those mythological scripts when I was on ancient Earth."

Not only are they common, but old tropes like sacrifice have been used to death.

Moonlight Silver's eyes narrowed slightly. "So you mean that the sacred tree in the deep sea territory, like the love tree of the fox clan, also carries the function of providing energy?"

"Yes, the fox clan nourishes the Love Tree with love and spiritual power. And here, emotional energy is used. However, the land-dwelling females who enter the deep sea territory all know that they are here for trials, and their sole purpose is to find the Star Gate."

They probably also know that the land race and the sea race are likely mortal enemies, so the idea of ​​them generating emotional energy sounds like a fantasy.

"Unless—" Xue Qianxun paused.

Yuehua Yin guessed, "Like the fox clan, they possess bewitching arts." Sheng Tianze frowned, "Not necessarily."

“Generally speaking, love trees like those of the fox clan have enough energy on their own to sustain them, so there’s no need to use so many offerings. Unless—” Jiang Xinli pursed her lips, “the sacred tree itself has a problem with its energy source, or there are other uses that we can’t think of.”

Sheng Tianze: "Lili is right. However, all our current ideas are just our own speculations, so please try not to be prejudiced."

“Okay.” Jiang Xinli nodded. “We have to go to the sacred tree every day to participate in the blessing ceremony. I’ll take a look after we go tomorrow.”

She remembered something, "Oh right, Lancer told me that the mermaid prince disappears for four hours every day. Those four hours are the best time for us to investigate everything."

Xuan Ying opened his eyes, looked at Jiang Xinli and said, "Silly little pear, tomorrow, your husband will accompany you to the Holy Tomb?"

"Okay." Jiang Xinli nodded, but didn't mention for the time being that she had seen the mysterious black dragon at the sacred tree.

Perhaps she was hallucinating.

Sheng Tianze glanced at everyone and said, "Then it's settled. We'll explore the Holy Tomb tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we'll go to that underground arena."

Jiang Xinli: "Okay."

Within the spatial realm, one cannot see what is happening outside.

After Jiang Xinli finished communicating and analyzing with the beastmen, she left the domain.

When Lancer sent the message, Jiang Xinli had just finished washing up and came out.

Lancer: Goodnight, Miss Heart Pear.

Jiang Xinli looked at the message, hesitated for a moment, and did not reply.

She clicked on Bai Yao's profile picture, but it was grayed out and he was unreachable.

I glanced at Yu Hanche's profile picture, and it was also gray.

Jiang Xinli speculated that the deep-sea territory was like a large-scale local area network.

Bai Yao and his group are not prisoners, so they wouldn't be here.

She gently rubbed her fingers against the silver ring on her finger.

I don't know where Bai Yao is now, or if he's safe.

"Om-"

A message with a red exclamation mark popped up on the "Welfare and Sentence Reduction APP".

[Friendly Reminder: Current sentence remaining: 859999 hours!!!]

Jiang Xinli frowned.

"Dong dong!" There was a knock on the door.

Jiang Xinli snapped out of her thoughts and got up to open the door.

The door had barely opened a crack when, "snap—" the lights inside went out.

A long, slender shadow, a blend of black, silver, and skin tones, carrying a faint scent of cypress, darted into the room.

Before Jiang Xinli could react, a warm, large hand covered her eyes.

The metal chain made a crisp clanging sound as the man swung his arm.

"Yuehua?" Jiang Xinli was taken aback, before she was already pinned down on the bed.

A deep, magnetic voice whispered in her ear, and the man placed a metal chain wrapped in leather into Jiang Xinli's hand.

"My lady, your little wolfhound has arrived."
