Chapter 422 She's gambling on something!
Jiang Xinli looked dazed for a moment.

She realized what was happening and quickly reached out to cover the man's cold, thin lips. "Aze, I won't allow you to say that."

The girl's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked as she said, "I want you to swear that you will come back safe and sound."

Not only must he return safely, but all the beastmen must return safely!

"Mmm." Sheng Tianze reached out and grasped her slender, fair wrist, gently kissing her palm.

The soft thorns, as always, gently brushed against her palm.

Jiang Xinli's palm instinctively clenched.

Suppressing his pain and reluctance, Sheng Tianze's deep golden eyes shone with a brilliant smile, and he said with unwavering determination.
"Okay, I swear, I will definitely return to Lili's side safely."

"Lili." He raised his hand, gently wiping away the tears welling up in the girl's eyes with his fingertips, his gaze tender and lingering as he looked at her, his voice becoming hoarse:
"I love you."

He raised his hand and cupped the back of her head, his noble and handsome face slowly approaching the girl.

Jiang Xinli reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and slowly closed her eyes.

This kiss was sweet, passionate, and lingering.

Yet, because it carries the meaning of parting, it adds a touch of bittersweetness to the tears.

The two entered Sheng Tianze's spatial domain.

The garden outside was deserted, but very soft voices could be heard coming from inside the house.

Xuan Ying and the others, along with Xue Xi's beastmen, were gathered around a table, listening to Xue Qianxun explain how to avoid mutated beasts, quickly cross the contaminated area, and reach the legendary ancient battlefield that still retained the aura of ancient gods.

Ten tall, imposing men stood with furrowed brows, creating a somewhat somber atmosphere in the room.

Hearing footsteps, everyone looked up and suddenly turned towards the door.

"The female master."

"Heart Pear Baby".

"..."

Seeing Jiang Xinli's red and swollen eyes, Xuan Ying and Xue Qianxun's gazes darkened, and they subconsciously looked at Sheng Tianze.

Sheng Tianze nodded slightly. "I've already told Lili."

Everyone felt a mix of relief and unease.

With its feathers drooping, Hua Xi walked towards Jiang Xinli, took her hand, and said apologetically:
"Little Pear. I'm sorry we can't be there to protect you for a while."

“Hua Xi—” Yuehua Yin glanced at him and coughed twice, “Don’t break the formation.”

The reason they had Sheng Tianze speak to Jiang Xinli alone was because they were afraid that if everyone was present and each person said something, it would only make Jiang Xinli more worried in the end.

"I just made Aze swear an oath that he will come back safe and sound, and you will not be spared either!" Jiang Xinli knew that the beastmen were determined.

Saying anything now will be of no use.

She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, glanced at the few beastmen, and with a smile, reached out and pinched Hua Xi's cheek:
"Little peacock, you go first!"

Hua Xi's orange eyes darkened slightly, and the corners of her eyes instantly reddened. "Yes, Little Pear, I swear, I will definitely come back safely!"

Ye Kuo glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Hua Xi, stop making that effeminate face all the time. If you do that, the female master will only worry more."

"I'm not sissy, Brother Leopard, you're the sissy!" After berating Ye Kuo, Hua Xi took the initiative and cupped Jiang Xinli's face in his hands, giving her a big kiss.

"Little Pear, don't worry, I, Hua Xi, will definitely pass the ancient battlefield trial, improve my superpower level, and come back safely. I also want to give you lots and lots of peacocks!"

Jiang Xinli and her several beastly husbands were not surprised.

Xuexi and her beast husbands exchanged glances for a second.

Jiang Xinli chuckled. "Little peacock, are you sure?"

"Of course!" Hua Xi's droopy feathers stood up excitedly. "With such advanced interstellar technology, Xiao Lili won't need to worry about raising peacocks anymore! Your little brother can handle the whole thing!"

Ye Kuo gave him a disdainful look. "Hua Xi, it's just applying an egg, why are you talking about high technology?"

Moonlight Silver Wolf's ears twitched, and it leaned closer to tease, "If that's the case, then Xuan Ying can also give birth on its own."

Suddenly being called upon, Xuan Ying's icy blue vertical pupils slightly lifted, and with a "whoosh," an icy blue snake tail coiled Jiang Xinli from Hua Xi's side into his arms:
"I don't want any annoying kids. I just want to spend my life with my little silly girl, just the two of us." Xuan Ying said, raising his hand to cup her chin and gently kissing her. "Isn't that right, my little silly girl?"

"Um, Xiaoying—" Jiang Xinli blushed and her toes dug into the ground in embarrassment as she whispered, "Xuexi and the others are still watching from the side."

Sure enough, no matter what, his several beastly husbands could only be serious for three seconds.

Fortunately, the somewhat oppressive and heavy atmosphere from before has been swept away.

Xuexi chuckled, "Xinli, it's okay, we can't hear you."

As she spoke, she reached out and tugged at Xue Qianxun's snow fox tail, giving him a wink.

"Cousin!" Xue Qianxun glared at her, abandoning her usual elegant demeanor, her tail bristling as she spoke:
"I told you, my tail is only for my little pear baby to touch!"

Xuexi slapped him, exasperated, and said, "Then why don't you go over and let Xinli touch you!"

Jiang Xinli: “.”

Sheng Tianze glanced at everyone with his golden eyes and said in a serious voice, "Alright, let's get back to the point and talk about serious matters."

The room suddenly fell silent.

Sheng Tianze succinctly recounted what Jiang Xinli had previously told him about the conjecture regarding the star gate in the deep-sea territory and the sacrifice, and then took out the 10 water-repelling beads that Jiang Xinli had given him, distributing them one by one to everyone:

"Now that we have advanced water-repellent beads, it will be much easier to traverse polluted deep-sea areas."

"The rest is to find the location of the ancient battlefield."

"So many high-grade water-repelling beads!!" Xuexi's eyes widened in shock. "Xinli, where did you get these?!"

Jiang Xinli: "That Yunbo gave it to me."

"Yun Bo? That tyrannical and ruthless mermaid prince actually gave you so many water-repelling beads?! And judging by the quantity, it's clear that Mo Lin and the others each received one." Xue Xi was stunned for a second.
"My arranged marriage with the seal makes me want to kill all my beast husbands."

"Xinli, he's too good to you! Could it be that he actually wants to marry you, and that's why he's only showing affection for you because of your family?!"

Jiang Xinli shook her head seriously, "Definitely not."

"By the way, Aze, you might need this." Jiang Xinli changed the subject, taking out the few bottles of medicine for treating pollutants that Xueyin had given her. "This medicine can resist pollutants. You might need it."

"Also, I just thought of something." Jiang Xinli hesitated for a moment, then said, "Instead of you going to all that trouble to find the ancient battlefield, perhaps—"

Everyone: "What?"

Jiang Xinli: "I'll go find Yun Bo and have him send you directly to the ancient battlefield."

“Mistress, this is not appropriate.” Moonlight Silver’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Doing this is too risky. Besides, our trip to the ancient battlefield to train and improve our abilities was originally a secret operation.”

After a moment of silence, Mo Lin spoke up, "Sister Xinli, I also think it's inappropriate."

He explained:

"Since His Highness Yunbo wants to marry you, whatever his purpose may be, then your several beast husbands will naturally become his rivals in love."

Although polyandry is a common practice in interstellar society, given the right conditions, no male is willing to share a female with another man.

Even if it's just a charade.

Therefore, whether he will use this opportunity to eliminate Sheng Tianze and his group remains to be seen.

Jiang Xinli knew what they were worried about and explained, "Actually, Yun Bo knows everything we do, even if I don't say it."

"Since he was willing to give me so many water-repelling beads, and even considered Xuexi's beast husbands, he must be hoping that if something happens to the deep-sea territory's barrier, you can all be temporarily spared, so—"

Jiang Xinli paused, glanced at the group, and said, "I'm betting on something right now."

Everyone was puzzled. "What?"

“I bet that Prince Yunbo and that shark prince Lingyuan are not of one mind. I also bet that he and that deity are not of one mind,” Jiang Xinli said after a moment’s thought.
"Besides, I have a sixth sense that Yunbo will definitely help me this time."
