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

Chapter 443 Something's Gone Wrong, Something's Going Wrong?!
Jiang Xinli felt a sudden, inexplicable pang of pain in her heart.

Back on Dark Star, Bai Yao was willing to give up being the Lord of a Star, his freedom, and his official status to become her beast husband and accept exile with her.

But she thought he was being nice to her and rejected him outright.

Looking back now, were her considerations and decisions really the right ones?
If we can't leave Ocean Star smoothly after 3 days, will that become a regret?

The lifelong regret between her and Bai Yao.
Jiang Xinli felt very sad.

But now, being sad won't solve anything.

She took a deep breath, her gaze resolute as she clenched her fist.
No matter what, we must leave Ocean Star safely!
"Miss Xinli, did you sleep well last night?" The jellyfish lady-in-waiting walked in with a smile, carrying a purple dress and jewelry accessories.

"Mmm." Jiang Xinli pulled the thin veil over her body to cover the fresh purple hickeys.

The lady-in-waiting bowed respectfully.

"His Highness Yunbo instructed that after finishing his official duties this morning, he will go directly to the Holy Tomb to pray for blessings. Therefore, he will not be able to have breakfast and lunch with you."

The so-called Holy Tomb Blessing is actually about offering blood to the Holy Tree to provide energy to the Abyss.

However, this is a secret between Yun Bo and Jiang Xinli.

Jiang Xinli nodded, "Okay."

After breakfast, they set off for the Sanctuary. Jiang Xinli noticed that the number of dolphin knights following behind them had doubled.

She asked in a low voice, "Why are there so many people here today?"

The jellyfish-like lady-in-waiting replied, "Miss Xinli, it was His Highness who specifically instructed us. He said that the closer we get to the wedding date, the more likely..."

She glanced around cautiously, then leaned close to Jiang Xinli's ear and whispered:
"It seems that Prince Lingyuan has been making constant underhanded moves lately."

"Furthermore, I've heard that although His Highness Lingyuan agreed to the marriage with Jiang Wanwan, he seems to still have feelings for you in private."

Never forget?

Jiang Xinli scoffed inwardly.

What she can't forget is her identity as a dark female.

Even if Yun Bo doesn't tell her, she should try to avoid Ling Yuan during this period.

She also avoided the man with the cold and ruthless gray eyes like the plague.

"By the way, what has Jiang Wanwan been doing these past few days?"

"After the marriage between her and Prince Lingyuan was arranged, it seems that she moved into Prince Lingyuan's palace."

I haven't heard much about her lately.

Jiang Xinli frowned slightly.

As the jellyfish official had previously stated, everyone already knew that Jiang Wanwan was an "imposter."

Jiang Wanwan was naturally aware of this.

Moreover, Yun Bo has not chosen her, and given her jealous nature, she is unlikely to give up so easily.

Therefore, Jiang Wanwan's quietness is not like her usual style at all.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

She must be plotting something big in secret.

In addition, she could see the Abyss of Ashes.

I wonder if Jiang Wanwan is suitable?
If her guess is correct, that Dark Night Servant should be one of Jin Yuan's people.

Since he had already been working with Jiang Wanwan for a long time.

Does that mean——

Jiang Xinli's heart sank.

The jellyfish-like female official beside her suddenly said, "Oh, I remember now, I did hear some gossip about her."

Ever since she learned that Jiang Xinli liked to ask her about things, the Jellyfish Lady has been keeping a close eye on everything around her.

Jiang Xinli paused, "What gossip?" The jellyfish official said mysteriously, "I heard that she's been summoning Lord Lancang to the palace every night recently, and he only leaves the next morning."

I also heard that Lord Lancang had actually lost the Full Moon Sand, which he had guarded for hundreds of years, long before he returned to his deep-sea territory.

"Lord Lancang?" Jiang Xinli raised an eyebrow.

She did know that although Lancang and Lanse were brothers, they didn't actually get along.

Although one of them is the captain of the Royal Knights of the Deep Sea and the other is the vice-captain, they are clearly divided into factions within the Royal Knights.

Each of them had their own loyal followers.

However, she was still a little curious.

"If Jiang Wanwan is to be married to Prince Lingyuan, then why would Prince Lingyuan allow other men to stay overnight in the palace?"

Could it be that Jiang Wanwan, Ling Yuan, and Lan Cang are secretly plotting something?
"Miss Xinli, you wouldn't know this, would you?" the jellyfish official continued gossiping.
"This is a very normal thing in the Deep Sea Territory. The original choice for the chief marriage partner of the Land Clan was to marry one of the three princes."

Therefore, the chosen land-dwelling female, in addition to the three princes, can also choose any sea-dwelling male she likes, and there is no limit to the number she can choose.

"The key to the sacrificial ceremony lies in the bloodline of the sea tribe's royal family. Therefore, no matter how many ordinary sea tribe males a land tribe female marries, it will not have a significant impact on the ceremony."

"I've also heard that Jiang Wanwan seems to have a very special identity." The jellyfish official lowered her voice:
“We used to say she was an imposter, but we now know that she seems to have some kind of superpower that makes every male sea creature she meets fall in love with her.”

That's why Lord Lancang lost the Full Moon Sand so early.

"And it was only then that Prince Lingyuan finally agreed to the marriage alliance with her."

The jellyfish-themed female official looked proud.
"Looking at it this way, our Prince Yunbo truly possesses extraordinary composure and ability. Otherwise, he would have been..."

Realizing she had said something she shouldn't have, she gave an embarrassed smile:
“Miss Xinli, I did not mean to speak ill of Prince Yunbo behind his back.”

She spoke up in defense, saying, "You and His Highness are deeply in love; how could such low-class and despicable methods possibly influence that!"

Jiang Xinli: “.”

We wouldn't call it a deep emotional bond.

However, she glanced down at her right wrist.

Unbeknownst to her, over the course of a few days, the octopus on her wrist did indeed change color because of Yunbo.

As for Yunbo, it's already fully colored.

The Holy Land was soon reached.

The number of dolphin riders guarding the area has doubled.

The white mist that lingered around us had deepened in color, taking on a slightly eerie gray hue.

Within the sanctuary, many coral decorations, blood red in color, with neatly trimmed tops and strange runes engraved on their branches, have appeared.

They radiate outwards in a regular pattern from the central sacred tree.

Jiang Xinli frowned:
"Isn't it said that all the land and sea couples have to receive blessings in the sacred domain during the wedding? With so much coral placed here, where will they stand?"

The lady-in-waiting explained, "Miss Xinli, each newlywed couple will stand on the coral."

Jiang Xinli seemed to be lost in thought.

The lady-in-waiting led her toward the sacred tree. "Miss Xinli, shall we go and pray for blessings?"

“Okay.” Jiang Xinli walked slowly, observing the Saint Coral Laurel from afar.

As the wedding date drew closer, the sacred tree underwent rapid changes.

The veins of that sacred tree's leaves used to flow with waves of black mist.

Now, a strange crimson hue has appeared in the waves.

As for the crystal prayer plaques they initially hung up, there are now some names in scarlet color.

The crystal blessing plaque of Jiang Xinli is engraved with:
[Jiang Xinli: Yun Bo (major husband), Lancer (companion husband)]
