Chapter 386 The Secret of the Deep Sea Royal Family?!

Yun Bo did not return home all night, while Jiang Xinli had a good night's sleep.

It's almost dawn.

The mermaid prince, covered in fresh scabs, dragged his weary steps back to his bedchamber.

The attendant said worriedly, "Your Highness, your injuries are quite severe this time. Why don't you go to the medicinal pool to heal first before visiting Miss Rabbit?"

Yun Bo waved his hand, "Go down."

Upon entering the inner hall, the exquisite and magnificent golden clam shell bed was empty.

His gaze fell on the strange sleeping bag on the ground, which looked like a large caterpillar.

Seeing the snow-white rabbit ears that were half-exposed and trembling slightly, the man frowned slightly and took a long stride over.

The jellyfish-like female official quickly stepped forward and explained in a low voice, "Your Highness Yunbo, Miss Xinli said that she is not a good sleeper and that this bed is more comfortable for her."

Yun Bo waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

The lady-in-waiting bowed, turned around, closed the door, and left.

The girl in the sleeping bag was still asleep, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly.

Yunbo flicked his finger, summoning several streams of water.

The girl, wrapped in a sleeping bag, was gently pulled out by several streams of water.

The water settled on the bed.

The man leaned against her, and the girl fell into his arms.

A faint rose scent wafts through the air.

He bent down and sniffed it greedily.

The octopus on my wrist gleamed faintly.

The scabs on my body are still healing, but very slowly.

As Jiang Xinli slept, she smelled a familiar and pleasant woody scent.

She instinctively scooted forward, and upon smelling another faint scent of blood, she frowned slightly.

When Jiang Xinli woke up, Yun Bo was no longer there.

"Has Prince Yunbo returned?" She sat blankly on the clam shell bed, asking the jellyfish lady official, "Or did you put it on the bed for me?"

The lady-in-waiting avoided the first question and truthfully replied as Yun Bo had instructed, "Miss Huixinli, it was a bit cold in the latter half of last night, so I put it up for you."

"Is it a bit cold?" Jiang Xinli frowned. "I heard that the deep sea territory, especially the underwater palace, is like spring all year round. How could it suddenly get cold?"

"I don't know the specifics either. However, I heard that a large number of pollutants attacked the deep-sea territory last night, affecting the energy and the barrier. So—" The female official hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"The clean oxygen and warm temperature in the underwater palace come from energy and the barrier. Even your land race's ability to breathe and walk normally in the deep sea is related to energy and the barrier."

Once the energy fluctuates and is affected, the barrier will also be affected, and in turn, other things will be affected.

Jiang Xinli raised an eyebrow. "So, if the energy is depleted and the barrier disappears, then the deep-sea territory and the underwater palace will cease to exist?"

“Yes, Miss Xinli.” The jellyfish official’s eyes suddenly reddened. “After Ocean Star was submerged by seawater and the ocean was severely polluted, this is the only remaining home for our sea race.”

Ocean Star also has other clean, surviving places.

The glaciers and snow-capped mountains that Lancer brought came from those places.

However, the area is very small and the distribution is scattered.

The ecological environment is not suitable for the long-term survival of marine life.

Jiang Xinli: “.”

"Where is Prince Yunbo? Has he not returned all night, or is he staying somewhere else?"

Jiang Xinli asked this question simply to figure out his pattern of movement.

The jellyfish official misunderstood.

She had witnessed Prince Yunbo's words and actions towards Jiang Xinli over the past two days.

Although Miss Rabbit is currently somewhat resistant to Prince Yunbo, she believes that Prince Yunbo will definitely be able to win her over.

Sure enough, Miss Rabbit started to care about Prince Yunbo.

The female official suppressed a maternal smile and explained, "Last night, the pollutants attacked, and His Highness Yunbo stayed up all night to protect the entire deep-sea territory."

“Protect?” Jiang Xinli frowned. “How to protect?” If she remembered correctly, Lanse had said that the one who protected the entire deep-sea territory was that omnipresent god.

A hint of confusion appeared in the female official's eyes. "How exactly they protect it is a secret of the Deep Sea Royal Family. We don't know, but for so many years, it has always been His Highness Yunbo who has been protecting the entire Deep Sea territory from behind."

“Of course, there’s also His Highness Lingyuan. However, His Highness Lingyuan protects the deep-sea territory by commanding a shark army, as for His Highness Yunbo—” The lady-in-waiting thought for a moment but couldn’t come up with a suitable answer.

Although he usually appears fierce, cruel, and inhuman, the female official didn't dare to say the words "he is fierce, cruel, and inhuman."

To speak carelessly about the princes is punishable by beheading.

"Anyway, without Prince Yunbo and Prince Lingyuan, there would be no Deep Sea Territory."

Jiang Xinli contacted several beastmen, as well as Xue Xi and the others.

Only then did they realize that all the married land-dwelling females and sea-dwelling males had been taken to the underwater palace.

Everyone has their own designated residential area, and leaving the designated area is strictly prohibited during this period.

In addition, the underwater palace will remain closed until the pollutants lingering around the deep-sea territory are completely removed.

During this period, anyone who is not a member of the royal family or a member of the military is strictly prohibited from entering or leaving.

There is a barrier around the outer perimeter of the deep-sea territory and outside the underwater palace.

It looks like some kind of double protection.

Jiang Xinli seemed to be lost in thought.

She was instructed not to leave the Yunbo Palace area.

While Yunbo was away, she simply flipped through the books.

However, after searching high and low, all they found were a bunch of incomprehensible words and pictures, nothing more.

For three consecutive days, Jiang Xinli did not see Yun Bo.

However, she slept very well, unexpectedly well.

She insisted on sleeping in a sleeping bag every night, but when she woke up the next day, she would always find herself inexplicably lying on a giant clam shell bed.

There was a faint woody scent around me, the scent that belonged to Yunbo.

She didn't think much about it.

Both male and female clothing and bedding inevitably retain some pheromone scent.

However, she was puzzled because her sleep had been too good for the past few days.

Two days ago, she thought it was because of the sleep-inducing bath and being too tired.

On the third day, she didn't go for the medicinal bath, and her energy was fully restored, but she still slept like a log, which she found strange.

On the fourth day, looking at the table full of delicacies, she thought for a moment, took a bag, packed some food and juice according to her appetite, and threw it into her spatial ring.

I took out another packet of nutrient solution and drank it anyway.

That night, she couldn't sleep.

From the day I returned to interstellar space, I have always had a beastman by my side.

She had grown accustomed to sleeping in the arms of her beastmen.

Now, deep in an unfamiliar place, Yunbo's bedroom is spacious and empty.

The lights went out, and it was empty.

Looking at the curtains hanging everywhere, I couldn't help but imagine scenes from horror movies.

She wasn't that scared, but she felt uncomfortable.

However, the thought that her promise to Yunbo would end after dawn made her uneasy.

She felt relieved.

As dawn approached, Jiang Xinli, her eyelids heavy, finally fell into a deep sleep.

A female official's soft voice came from outside the hall, "Your Highness."

Jiang Xinli frowned and twisted her body.

The tall man had just stepped into the bedroom when he saw the rabbit-woman writhing like a maggot in a sleeping bag on the floor.

The tall shadow fell, slowly overlapping with the girl's figure on the ground.
