Chapter 417 The sacrifice is a dark female!
Her long, glacier-blue hair, flowing like a waterfall, cascaded down Jiang Xinli's legs.

The handsome young nobleman slowly closed his eyes, greedily inhaling the faint rose pheromone scent emanating from Jiang Xinli.

After a long pause, he raised his face and opened his beautiful, icy blue eyes:

"My dearest fiancée, did you miss me last night when you were with Prince Yunbo?"

"Last night?" Jiang Xinli choked.

So, Lancer knew that she stayed in Yunbo Palace last night?
Looking down, on the young nobleman's pale and powerful wrist, a transparent octopus emitted bursts of colorful light.

Jiang Xinli frowned, her inner emotions somewhat complicated.

The emotional energy of an octopus cannot be faked.

Can--

Jiang Xinli hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have missed it."

"Is that so?" A warm, joyful light shone in the clear eyes of the noble youth.

He grabbed her wrist, pressed his cheek against her palm, and said, "My fiancée, come with me, okay?"

"Leave?" Jiang Xinli was slightly taken aback. "Where to?"

After speaking, she glanced around warily.

Lancer understood immediately, “Prince Yunbo is not in the underwater palace right now; this is a surveillance vacuum for him.”

Jiang Xinli: "He went to the Holy Tomb?"

“Yes, it should be.” Lancer nodded and kissed the back of her hand. “Go to a place where Prince Yunbo and everyone else can’t find us.”

"That way, Prince Yunbo and Prince Lingyuan will stop bothering my fiancée."

His blue eyes turned slightly cold. "Come back when the dark tide and the red moon meet."

Jiang Xinli frowned. "Since you left, why did you come back?"

The young nobleman frowned slightly. "Because our wedding needs the blessing of the sacred tree and that being."

He raised the corners of his lips slightly, "However, by then, even if His Highness Yunbo and His Highness Lingyuan object, they won't be able to do anything to me."

The royal wedding ceremony and sacrificial ceremony of the Sea Clan have always been presided over by his father, who also serves as the High Priest of the Sea Clan.

It's not impossible that some privileges might be temporarily granted during the ceremony.

However, persuading his father was not easy.

But no matter what, he was determined to give it his all.

Following his words, Jiang Xinli tentatively asked, "Then, can my beast husbands disappear together?"

She was actually eager to return home and wanted to see her beast husbands as soon as possible.

But she had some questions that she needed to ask Lancer about during this opportunity.

“No.” The young nobleman’s eyes darkened. “Only you can go to that place.”

Jiang Xinli: "Where is that place?"

“Yes—” The nobleman hesitated for a moment, then said gently, “My fiancée will find out when the time comes.”

“Now, I want to ask my fiancée a question.” He straightened up, placed his hands on either side of her, and pinned her in front of him.

His gaze lingered on the dark purple water-repelling bead on her chest. "My fiancée, do you like Prince Yunbo more, or me more?"

Jiang Xinli reached out and twirled a strand of his long blue hair around her fingertip, smiling as she said, "Of course, I like you a little more."

"Is that so?" A hint of bitterness appeared in Lancer's eyes. "So, you also like Prince Yunbo? Only, you like me a little more, is that right?"

"..." Jiang Xinli released his long hair, feigning annoyance as she turned her head away, "Boring."

She urged, "It's getting late, take me back to the palace."

"My fiancée, please give me a little more time, okay?" the noble young man pleaded earnestly.

He reached out and gently turned her face to face him. "I'm not bored, I'm just a little bit jealous."

A hint of red appeared at the corner of his eye.

His glacier blue eyes were brimming with moisture.

It was as if all the glaciers in the field had melted away. At first glance, it looked like a well-behaved puppy waiting for its owner's favor.

But the glacier that had melted in the puppy's eyes quickly froze solid:
“Your Highness Yunbo, you should not covet my fiancée.”

His voice turned cold. "As for that Prince Lingyuan, he shouldn't have done it even more!"

“Lancer.” Jiang Xinli looked at him, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes. “They are princes of high rank and power. Do you really think you can compete with them?”

The young nobleman raised an eyebrow, a barely perceptible hint of gloom and coldness flashing in his eyes. "How will you know if you don't try?"

Jiang Xinli looked at him and frowned.

Lancer looked a little strange today.

They've lost their former naivety and gained a touch of cunning.

Could it be——

Recalling what Yun Bo had said to her before, a guess popped into Jiang Xinli's mind.

Her voice softened slightly, "Lancer, I have a question for you."

"Yes, you said it, my dear fiancée." The noble young man cupped her face in his hands, his gaze sincere and tender.

“You once told me that if you fight with a dragon for too long, you will become a dragon yourself.”

"Um, so?"

"That Prince C'Thun, who has been missing for so long, has he... become... a dragon?" Jiang Xinli paused, her gaze probing him.

Upon hearing this, the young nobleman's eyes flickered slightly, and he fell silent.

"Lancer." She raised her hand, gently grasped his wrist, and placed his palm against her heart, looking at him sincerely with her clear, doe-like eyes.
"Tell me the truth, okay?"

Upon touching that soft, heart-pounding touch, Lancer's fingers curled slightly.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."

Jiang Xinli was slightly stunned.

Lancer was unaware of the existence of the black dragon beastman in the Sanctuary because he himself was not royalty.

According to her deduction, C'Thun must have been severely contaminated.

What if he became a dragon?

Does this mean that the source of pollution actually comes from an evil dragon?

The dragon mentioned earlier was just a name that Lancer and his companions considered a substitute.

The evil dragon in the background is the black dragon orc from the Holy Tree Illusion.

Therefore, the deity who saved the sea creatures 1000 years ago was likely also the destroyer of the entire sea creatures.

Just like in those ancient legends, humans only turn to the gods when they have nowhere else to turn.

There are righteous gods and evil gods.

Only in destruction will the sea creatures need the gods' help.

Only then will they be subject to gods, evil gods.

Therefore, Yunbo and Xueyin entered the Holy Tomb day after day, offering their own blood to the gods.

That deity, besides needing the blood of the mermaid prince, also requires a constant supply of emotional energy.

Why is blood needed? Why is emotional energy needed?
We only need what we lack.

Only the living have fresh blood.

Only living people have emotions.

But He is a god, unless, in some way, He is "dead".

Is resurrection achieved through a strange ritual?

And the one who caused His "death" might have been the dark female from a thousand years ago?
Therefore, when sea creatures and land creatures intermarry, the final marriage partner is actually a dark female.

The sacrifice He most desires to receive is that of a dark female.

However, such a sacrifice requires the assistance of a direct descendant of the royal family who possesses the imperial power of the deep sea.
