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

Chapter 384 You think I care?!

Jiang Xinli didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

The air pressure inside the room suddenly dropped a few degrees.

A cold, sticky gaze, like a venomous snake flicking its scarlet forked tongue, landed on her smooth, delicate swan neck.

"Your Highness Yunbo." The jellyfish lady was so frightened that her hands, which were holding the jewelry tray, trembled like leaves, but she still managed to say, "It's all my fault. I was the one who started talking nonsense with Miss Xinli."

Jiang Xinli frowned slightly, glancing at her out of the corner of her eye without making a sound.

"Is that so?" The noble man with a full head of dark purple hair, exuding an extremely strong aura, took a long stride and walked gracefully closer.

The jellyfish-like female official's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. "Yes, Your Highness Yunbo."

The man slowly selected a colored diamond necklace with a teardrop pendant from the jade shell tray before coldly saying, "Go down."

"Yes, Your Highness Yunbo." The female official glanced at Jiang Xinli with lingering fear, then retreated, covered in sweat.

Jiang Xinli stood still.

A handsome man wearing a gorgeous mask had already walked up behind her.

His tall and upright body enveloped her completely in his arms.

The two were very close, and Jiang Xinli could even feel the cold temperature emanating from his chest.

The mermaid's body temperature was icy cold.

The man's long, slender, pale fingers reached around her shoulder and placed the shimmering necklace around her neck.

“Miss Rabbit, this necklace suits you very well.” He said in a deep voice, gently lifting her long hair and adjusting the angle of the pendant for her.

His fingertips barely touched her neck.

Jiang Xinli wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that his fingertips had developed a few thin, electrified water streams starting today.

Each light touch sends a tingling, numbing sensation through my skin.

"Alright." He put his hands on her shoulders. "Now, it's time for the pets to have their meal with their owners."

Jiang Xinli took a deep breath, not wanting to argue with him about the "pet" issue, and simply said seriously, "I want to leave the palace."

“No.” He grabbed her chin from behind and whispered devilishly in her ear, “Miss Rabbit, I told you, you have to compensate me a lot.”

"You ruined my clothes, you have to pay me back."

"You saw my body, you have to compensate me."

“You deceived me, and you owe me compensation.” He paused, “In the Deep Sea Territory, the crime of deceiving the king is punishable by death.”

"Then kill him." Jiang Xinli was too lazy to explain to him, and didn't even lift her eyelids.

She increasingly felt that she had really encountered a psychologically disturbed mermaid.

In my memory, in the movies and TV shows I watched on ancient Earth, apart from some Pirates of the Caribbean, mermaids were mostly portrayed as beautiful and kind.

She, on the other hand, encountered a mermaid prince who appeared dignified, noble, and imposing.

However, he was a ruthless and vicious person.

Not only is he mentally unstable, but he also acts like a ghost and wears a mask every day.

It's just those few abs, which is acceptable.

She was absolutely certain that the blood-covered, evil mermaid she saw in her dream was Yun Bo!

They say your appearance reflects your heart, so this dead mermaid must be incredibly ugly!
Jiang Xinli mentally ranted and cursed, drawing a circle in her mind.

Hearing her heartfelt words, the man's deep purple eyes darkened slightly.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?" He gripped her chin with his fingers, applying some pressure.

Jiang Xinli felt as if her bones were being crushed; it was extremely painful.

She was in so much pain that she shed a single physiological tear.

She gritted her teeth and took a breath. "I'm not afraid."

She sneered, "If you really dare to kill me, my beastly husbands will definitely tear down your underwater palace! We'll make sure you have nowhere to hide for the rest of your life!"

"Heh, them?" The man scoffed coldly, then suddenly changed his tone, his voice low and menacing:

"Alright, before I kill you, let me think about it. Should I kill that dolphin first? Or that mermaid? Or, let's kill that talkative jellyfish lady and chop her into mincemeat too."

"Mermaid?" Jiang Xinli knew he was deliberately threatening her, but she was still taken aback.

[As expected, that perverted peeping tom! Nothing escapes his sight!]
Jiang Xinli felt utterly hopeless. The girl in front of her, with her long, snow-white rabbit ears, drooped dejectedly.

The man, having achieved his goal, smirked.

"That mermaid was too frail. Perhaps, a casual pinch—snap!" His tone was icy, tinged with a sinister mockery. "Tsk, what a pity, so young—"

Before Jiang Xinli could think it through, she blurted out anxiously, "Don't hurt him!"

Xueyin was not only her savior, but also gave her a precious medicine.

Crucially, he must know even more secrets about the Sacred Tree and the Star Gate!

The man sneered, "You do care about him? That's strange. Why would Miss Rabbit care about such a useless mermaid?"

Jiang Xinli frowned slightly.

Therefore, he probably didn't know that he had gone to the Sacred Abyss.

He didn't know that Xueyin had saved him.

Thinking of this, she felt relieved and said firmly, "Anyway, you are not allowed to hurt him!"

Yun Bo raised his lips, "Miss Rabbit, is this considered a beggar's request?"

Jiang Xinli was silent for a moment, then said, "Fine."

“Miss Rabbit,” he said, looking down at her with a disdainful glance, “when you ask for a favor, you should adopt the manner of asking for a favor.”

Jiang Xinli was too lazy to waste words with him. "So, what do you want?"

“I want it,” the man said, his purple eyes narrowing and a wicked smile curving his lips. “Miss Rabbit ruined my clothes, saw my body, and deceived me twice.”

Then stay with me in the underwater palace for four days. As long as you behave and stay with me, all past grievances will be forgiven.

Jiang Xinli was speechless for a while.

How is this any different from those brainless, domineering CEO novels and melodramatic plots I read on ancient Earth?

[If you just stay with me obediently, all the debts your parents owe will be wiped clean!]

However, a strong woman like her can bend and yield!

[He's just an NPC, might as well keep him company.]
[He can eat me?!]
Yun Bo raised an eyebrow slightly: NPC?

Previously, Heinrich was instructed to find out what an NPC is.

However, the other party searched through ancient books but couldn't find a solution.

When the time is right, I'll ask her indirectly.

He snapped out of his thoughts, his cold eyes slightly lifting. "How is it?"

"Okay, but I have conditions," Jiang Xinli said after a moment's thought.
"1. During these 4 days, you are not allowed to have intimate contact with me, and you are not allowed to force me to do things I don't want to do;
2. I want Lancer to be my bodyguard again, and I also want you to release that dolphin captain;

3. You are not allowed to make things difficult for or bully Xueyin or that jellyfish-like female official.

Yun Bo chuckled and lightly hooked her chin with his finger. "Miss Rabbit, you've got quite the nerve and quite the appetite."

Jiang Xinli slapped his hand away and sneered:

"Stop with the nonsense. If it works, great; if not, forget it."

"Except for the first one, I'll grant you the rest." The man gently stroked her shoulder with his fingertips.

"After all, you've seen everything about my body, both what you should and shouldn't have seen, haven't you?"

Jiang Xinli rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"You think I care about your body?!"
