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

Chapter 362 Miss Xinli, do you like me today?

In the dark, a person's sense of touch becomes exceptionally sensitive, as does their vision.

Jiang Xinli thought that after Lanse let go, she would see a dark abyss and a strange, wandering pollutant.

But when he removed his hand, what he saw made her hold her breath.

Before your eyes lies an endless expanse of breathtakingly beautiful blue glaciers. The pure, icy blue reflects a cold light, yet you feel no chill whatsoever.

On the distant white snowfield, transparent sea crystal flowers sway in the wind, their petals as thin as glass, shimmering with pale blue and light gold light.

In the center of the flower bushes is a soft couch woven with gold and silver threads and snow fox fur.

Nestled among the towering glaciers is a crystal-clear lake.

Blue ice shards floated on the water's surface, like frozen stars.

"Lancer, did we teleport to the North Pole?" Jiang Xinli covered her mouth with both hands, extremely surprised. "Or did we enter your mental sea?"

Having lived in the deep sea for so long, this was the first time she had ever seen such beautiful scenery.

The key point is that the ever-present sense of being spied on has disappeared.

Seeing her beaming with joy, the young nobleman's previously suppressed bitterness and jealousy vanished.

"Neither." He put his arm around her waist, placed one hand on her shoulder, and smiled as he leaned down to ask in her ear, "Miss Xinli, do you like it?"

“I like it, but,” Jiang Xinli didn’t forget the purpose of her visit, and reached out to pull away his hands that were wrapped around her slender waist, “Lancer, what is the secret you want to tell me?”

"Can we talk about this later?" His voice became low and hoarse.

Jiang Xinli shook her head, "No."

The young man was silent for a moment, then placed his palm on the back of her hand and said in a clear voice, "There are three princes in the Deep Sea Territory."

Jiang Xinli nodded, "I know that."

He nuzzled her cheek and neck, gently inhaling the rich rose scent emanating from her:

"But do you know why, so far, you've only ever met Prince Yunbo?"

Jiang Xinli said, "Because I am not the primary marriage partner."

“No. Of all the mid- to high-ranking females of the continental race who have come to the palace to pray for blessings, they have only ever seen His Highness Yunbo.” Like a restless puppy, he brushed his angular jaw against her hair and gently nibbled at her earlobe from behind.

While gently biting her, he also breathed warm air into her ear.

Jiang Xinli felt a tingling sensation throughout her body and trembled slightly. She shrank back and whispered, "Lan Se, concentrate."

"Miss Xinli, I was clearly very focused." The young man chuckled, his hands, which were wrapped around her slender waist, gently caressing her lower back.

"Wasn't it the same way we talked last time at my mansion?"

"I really like Miss Kokoro's way of doing things, so today is the day I give back to Miss Kokoro."

回馈
Jiang Xinli was speechless.

Last time, she used some flirting techniques to get information out of him.

I just didn't expect that this time, he would be the one to initiate the conversation, whether he wanted to or not.

She doesn't understand.

"Please let me go." She struggled in his arms.

"No." He hugged her tighter instead. "You stood me up today, and I feel really bad. Just let me hug you, okay?"

“Okay.” Jiang Xinli took a deep breath, pulling herself back to reality. “You continue.”

"Continue talking, or continue—doing this?" The young man's bony hands deliberately reached up to loosen the hem of her dress at the waist.

Jiang Xinli rolled her eyes at the air: "...Go on."

"Slap!" She raised her hand and slapped that restless but extremely beautiful hand.

The young man paused, then grabbed her hand and held it in his palm before continuing, "Actually, the third prince of the Deep Sea Territory, Prince C'Thun, has been missing since he was a child."

"Missing?!" Jiang Xinli exclaimed in surprise. "He still hasn't been found?"

"Ah."

"As for the eldest prince of the Deep Sea Territory, Prince Lingyuan, who has control of the Deep Sea Army, he is currently searching for his whereabouts."

Jiang Xinli realized, "So, the so-called marriage alliance between the three princes is actually just a marriage alliance with Prince Yunbo?"

“No, it will still be with the three of them. However, if the Third Prince is never found, then, according to the traditions of the Deep Sea Territory, his wedding will most likely be—” Lancer hesitated. “A marriage of convenience?”

"No."

Jiang Xinli felt a chill run down her spine. "It can't be a ghost marriage, can it?"

Since even weddings with living people can take the form of sacrifice.

It's not impossible that the wedding to the prince who has been missing for so many years could take an even more bizarre form.

The young man smiled without saying a word.

Jiang Xinli was held tightly in his arms from behind. Her body instinctively nudged him slightly, and she feigned annoyance.
"Don't be so mysterious, what is it?"

The young man's lean body arched backward, and he hissed in pain.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xinli asked, puzzled.

"You just bumped into Xiao Lan—" The young nobleman's ears turned red halfway through his sentence.

Jiang Xinli understood instantly.

She didn't really want to understand at all.

The young man collected his thoughts and got back to the point, "In short, for the females of the Lu Clan, marrying into the three princes is a very unwise choice."

He kissed her. "Miss Xinli, this is the second secret I want to tell you."

Jiang Xinli understood.

After all that, here's the key point.

But even if he hadn't said it, she and her several beastmen had already guessed it.

She asked, puzzled, "Lancer, I remember on the warship you said you would make me an S-rank and the top marriage prospect for the three princes. Why have you suddenly changed your mind?"

The young man's voice deepened, "Miss Xinli, can't you really see my feelings at all?"

"I couldn't tell," Jiang Xinli said honestly. "To be honest, your intentions are too strange."

Lancer understood. "So, you doubt my sincerity? So, that's why you've been keeping your distance from me?"

“No, it’s not a doubt,” Jiang Xinli said seriously, “it’s us, there’s simply no way there can be a result.”

The young man lowered his head sadly. "So, you lied to me last time?"

"Last time?" Jiang Xinli looked completely bewildered.

The young man's voice was hoarse. "You said you would try to fall in love with me."

Jiang Xinli didn't know what to say.

She felt herself slowly sinking into some strange feeling.

“Lancer, I should go back,” she said.

He pulled her closer, "Miss Xinli, don't you want to see the beautiful scenery here before you leave?"

He had some regrets.

They shouldn't have used such a gimmick to lure people in.

It really ruined the atmosphere.

He knew she wouldn't come, so he didn't need such a gimmick.

He certainly wouldn't come alone.

Jiang Xinli looked at the beautiful scenery before her and smiled:

"Lancer, I've finished reading it. It's beautiful, I like it very much, thank you."

"And what about me—" The noble youth released his large hand, supported her shoulder, gently turned her to face him, and hooked her chin with his long, slender fingers:

"Miss Xinli, do you like me today?"

"You today?" Jiang Xinli looked up in confusion, slightly taken aback.
