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

Chapter 430 Another Personality: Xueyin?

Jiang Xinli hesitated for a moment, then gently patted his shoulder: "Yunbo, get up, don't sleep here."

The mermaid slept in the water and was fine.

However, he had told her that he would take her somewhere later.

Once we get to that place, we should be able to contact Bai Yao.
He seems much calmer now, so it's time to talk to him about this.

The man's cold white eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

“Miss Xinli.” He slowly raised his hand, his wet, steaming palm grasping her pale wrist as she tried to pull away, and gently pulled her in front of him.

A gentle, beautiful smile rippled in her deep, beautiful purple eyes.

“So,” he said in a deep, pleasant voice, “were you just concerned about me?”

Seeing that he had calmed down, Jiang Xinli felt relieved.

[This dead fish is acting strange today.]
[We absolutely mustn't provoke him again this time.]
[Oh well, males are all like children. What harm is there in comforting him a little?]
Jiang Xinli smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said, "Mm."

“However, you’ve been sleeping in there for a long time. Are you feeling unwell?” Jiang Xinli said, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards his fishtail.

I don't know if it was just the reflection on the water or if she was hallucinating.

She saw a crescent moon on the tail of a fish underwater.

That crescent moon, and the diamond she set for Xueyin, seemed to...
Noticing her gaze, Yun Bo seemed to remember something, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes, and he abruptly retracted his fishtail:

"No. I was just a little tired. But I'm fine now."

He released her and gently reminded her, "Miss Xinli, I need to get up."

"Oh." Jiang Xinli quickly got up and turned her back.

After getting dressed, Yunbo hesitated for a moment, then reached out from behind and pulled her into his arms. "I'm sorry, Miss Xinli."

"What?" Jiang Xinli turned to look at him in confusion.

For some reason, Yunbo in front of me suddenly seemed strange.

The tone changed.

His eyes changed.

Just now, I even took the initiative to remind her to turn around.

Before, he would have loved for her gaze to be glued to him.

Could it be that you were reflecting on your actions while inside?
But in any case, Yunbo at this moment is much better than the out-of-control Yunbo from before.

Yunbo listened silently to her thoughts, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

"I lost control of my emotions just now." He nuzzled her head with his chin. "Next time, I'll definitely control myself. Miss Xinli, will you believe me?"

Jiang Xinli nodded. "Mm."

Yunbo led her back to the dining table in the bedroom and sat her down.

He held her hand tightly, showing no intention of letting go. "Are you hungry?"

"Hmm, a little." Jiang Xinli looked at him, who was now gentle and warm, and was slightly taken aback.

Does this mermaid have a dual personality?
[No, not just double, but triple?]
Noticing her probing gaze, Yun Bo's lips curled into a smile, and he reached out to ruffle her bunny ears. "What?"

"It's nothing," Jiang Xinli said with an awkward smile, turning her gaze away. "Let's eat first."

This is, as far as I can remember, the first time I ate with him.

Yunbo held her hand with his right hand and picked up chopsticks with his left. "What do you like to eat? I'll feed you."

"Thank you, I can do it myself." Jiang Xinli pulled her hand back from his palm.

She picked up the bowl, buried her head, and took a mouthful.

There was a lot of seafood on the table.

However, any seafood with shells or plates had already been processed by the servants beforehand.

Yunbo placed a piece of snow-white, tender crab meat on her chopsticks. "I heard from the servants that you love to eat crabs."

Jiang Xinli nodded, and said casually, "It's alright, mainly because we could hardly get any seafood on Dark Star before."

Yun Bo paused with his chopsticks, raising an eyebrow. "So, Miss Xinli is actually from the Dark Star?"

Jiang Xinli looked up at him and smiled, "Your Highness Yunbo, where do you think I come from?"

"In a parallel universe," Yun Bo put down his chopsticks. "A thousand years ago, after the land race and the sea race were defeated in a great war, they were—"

He glanced up at the dome before continuing, "They were exiled by our sea god to some parallel universe."

Jiang Xinli was taken aback; this was the first time Yun Bo had brought up these matters with her.

“After 1000 years, according to the contract, you will be sent here to marry into the sea tribe.” Yun Bo finished speaking and looked at her. “According to the agreement between the two parties, you should not leave after you have come here.”

He was silent for a moment, then looked up. "But I know that Miss Xinli has always wanted to leave."

Jiang Xinli was taken aback again.

She was a little confused. Was Yun Bo testing her by saying these things now?

Or, should I confess to her?
Jiang Xinli hesitated for a moment, then asked, "The sea god you mentioned, is it the one in the Sacred Tree Illusion?" "Sacred Tree Illusion?" Yun Bo's purple eyes narrowed slightly. "So, Miss Xinli, you are actually that one too?"

"That one?" Jiang Xinli frowned, boldly speculating, "Is it because of her that the sea god is trapped in the Divine Tree Illusion?"

Yun Bo nodded. "Yes."

Jiang Xinli was shocked.

Unexpectedly, her previous guess came true.

Therefore, he did indeed know her identity as a dark female.

“Yunbo.” She looked up at him. “Do you know? This Ocean Star is actually just a huge illusion.”

"An illusion?" Yun Bo put down his chopsticks, glancing at her with his purple eyes. "How can Miss Xinli be so sure that Dark Star isn't an illusion?"

"Or rather, everything you experienced before wasn't an illusion?"

Jiang Xinli held her breath: "."

Yunbo took her hand and placed it on his chest.

Beneath his palm were the man's strong pectoral muscles and his powerful heartbeat.

"Did you feel it?" he asked. "The people in the illusion don't have heartbeats."

Jiang Xinli frowned, feeling a slight headache.

“Miss Xinli, frowning isn’t pretty.” Yunbo reached out and smoothed her slightly furrowed brow. “Now, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?”

Jiang Xinli was slightly taken aback, looking at him incredulously.

She seemed to see that innocent, kind, and handsome young man in his clear, deep eyes.

That tone.
This look.
And how she is addressed.
Is it really him?

However, her figure and appearance clearly belong to Yunbo.
She suppressed her suspicions and tentatively asked, "I hope you can help me find the stargate and leave Ocean Star."

“Miss Xinli,” Yun Bo looked at her gently, “if you really want to leave here, then—”

His eyes flickered slightly. "Why not try to get to know me and fall in love with me?"

Jiang Xinli frowned: Lanse had said the same thing to her.

The sacred tree requires the offering of emotional energy.

In terms of energy, romantic love is the best, followed by familial love, and friendship is the weakest.

Can--

More doubts arose in Jiang Xinli's heart, "Why?"

"Does Miss Xinli know why the wedding is held on the day the dark tide and the red moon meet?"

Jiang Xinli shook her head, "I don't know."

“Because that was when the mermaids were at their strongest.” Yun Bo finished speaking, his purple eyes becoming clearer. “And true love will make his power even stronger.”

Jiang Xinli frowned: "His power?"

"The ancient bloodline power of mermaids." Yun Bo's voice deepened. "So, from now on, Miss Xinli, please stop rejecting me, okay?"

"And don't think that this Ocean Star is some kind of giant illusion." He paused, then...
"When you think it's just a grand illusion, you'll only be a passerby immersed in it, unaware that—"

"The people around you are all flesh and blood. Everything you experience is also a living, breathing reality."

Jiang Xinli's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

She pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "Okay."

"But Yunbo, if I really try to fall in love with you, will you leave with me?"

A complex emotion flashed in Yun Bo's purple eyes. "It should be."

He smiled at her. "So, Miss Xinli, are you willing to believe me now?"

"Ah."

"Are you full?" He took a tissue and gently wiped away the remaining soup from the corner of her lips.

Jiang Xinli hummed in agreement. "And you?"

"I'm all better now." Yun Bo stood up. "Shall I take you somewhere now?"

Jiang Xinli's eyes lit up instantly, "Is it that place where we can connect to the outside world?"

"Mmm." Yun Bo opened his arms and looked at her tenderly.
"Then come and hug me tight now, okay?"
