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

Chapter 458 Why can he kiss me, but I can't?!

Watching the noble and handsome man turn and go to the outer hall, Jiang Xinli felt a slight sense of relief.

As soon as I turned around, I was caught off guard and bumped into a strong and warm embrace.

A delicate, refreshing scent of lemongrass lingered in the air, while her long, glacier-blue hair cascaded down her platinum knight's uniform like a waterfall.

She looked up, startled, and said, "Lancer."

She instinctively tried to back away, but he grabbed her slender waist and pulled her back into his arms.

"You didn't leave?" Jiang Xinli asked in a low voice, glancing at the outer hall with a flicker in her eyes.

Through a hazy purple veil, the tall mermaid prince listened to a report from an elderly man with gray hair.

He frowned slightly, seemingly unaware of the intimate and ambiguous scene unfolding inside the inner hall.

"Shh-"

The young nobleman suddenly covered her lips, half-embracing and half-carrying her, and led her behind a pillar inlaid with pearls and gold.

Her slender body was pressed against the cold, smooth surface of the cylinder.

His calloused fingertips lifted her face, forcing her to meet his clear, glacial blue eyes.

Seeing the resentment and jealousy swirling in Lancer's eyes, Jiang Xinli felt a little guilty. "What's wrong?"

His gaze swept over the girl's fluctuating emotional readings above her head and the discolored octopus on her wrist.

The young nobleman's gaze suddenly darkened.

His fingers, hanging by his sides, clenched silently, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms with the force.

Lancer's gaze fell on her swollen lips, and he gave a low, mocking laugh:
"I haven't seen my fiancée for a while, and she's already S-rank."

He suddenly reached out and grabbed her waist, leaning closer, and said with a wry smile:

"It seems that all those promises we made were just wishful thinking on my part."

He was filled with deep regret.

If he had known she would be taken away, he shouldn't have been so restrained in his energy illusion.
Jiang Xinli didn't know how to start, so she could only whisper:
".Feel sorry."

She did not offer any explanation.

They had no intention of defending themselves.

The young nobleman's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"So, you really have fallen in love with him, just as Ling Yuan said?"

Jiang Xinli shook her head. "No."

She was somewhat tempted.

But that wasn't love.

"And what about me?" Lancer's icy blue eyes were fixed on her, his voice low and dangerous.
"Do you love him more, or me more?"

Jiang Xinli glanced at the noble figure in the outer hall out of the corner of her eye, her heart pounding like a drum.
“Lancer, Prince Yunbo and your father are outside.”

Yunbo is fully aware of everything that happens in the deep-sea territory.

Not to mention, the outer and inner halls of Yunbo are only a few dozen meters apart.

"So what?" The noble youth sneered, his pale fingertips tracing her chin.

"If he can steal my fiancée, why can't I steal his bride?"

"Lancer, wake up." Jiang Xinli took a deep breath.

"The sacrificial ceremony is just around the corner, and what happened today?"

"So what?" Lancer hugged her tighter; through her clothes, she could feel his burning body temperature.
"If he can kiss you, why can't I?"

“That’s not how it is,” Jiang Xinli frowned. “You know what that means.”

"Yun Bo doesn't care about his life, so do you?" she asked.

He gave a bitter laugh, "Yeah, he's risking his life, so why should I care?"

Jiang Xinli's heart tightened, and she quickly and gently pressed her hand down.
"Lancer, calm down."

He held her even tighter.

She subconsciously said, "Don't forget, this is Yunbo's bedroom."

These words, like ice falling into fire, instantly pierced the young nobleman's taut nerves.

"The bedchamber?" He chuckled softly, his breath close to hers. "So my fiancée thinks that what we're doing right now is an affair, is that it?"

Jiang Xinli was speechless for a moment: "."

Footsteps approached.

Jiang Xinli was about to look up when Lanse pulled her into his arms, burying her face deep in his warm, firm chest.

The jellyfish-like female official entered carrying a fruit platter. "Miss Xinli?"

She looked around but didn't see Jiang Xinli, and frowned.
"Miss Xinli, have you not finished bathing yet?"

She glanced at the outer hall and saw Yun Bo talking quietly with Heinrich, then silently looked away. She smiled to herself, "Oh, maybe I was tired from being with His Highness Yun Bo earlier and was resting in the bathtub."

"Never mind, I'm still not entirely at ease." The jellyfish-like female official put down the fruit plate and walked lightly into the side hall.

Just as Jiang Xinli lifted her head from Lancer's chest, his long, slender fingers gripped her chin again.

The young nobleman's voice was low and hoarse, his tone bitter, "Was it really tiring being with His Highness Yunbo?"

Before she could respond, he had already grabbed her neck and pressed his burning lips against hers.

This time, there was no fabric separating their lips.

Feeling that real warmth and touch, Jiang Xinli's pupils dilated sharply:
Has Lancer gone mad too?!
Doesn't he value his life too?!

Lancer's kiss was fiercer than ever before; she could barely breathe and was powerless to break free.

The dodder flower within her body shone brightly once more.

After one's superpowers and mental strength are promoted to S-rank, the energy threshold required for upgrading becomes very high.

The Dolphin Knight's first kiss, while not as powerful a buff as the Mermaid Prince's, still propels the progress forward at a rapid pace.

Jiang Xinli gave up resisting and completely indulged in his demands.

Until a sharp, booming sound came from above the dome outside the hall.

The aristocratic youth, lost in a passionate kiss, suddenly snapped back to reality.

He reluctantly released her lips, gently wiping her moist mouth with the pad of his thumb. "I'll go check on her."

"Mmm." Jiang Xinli's breathing was erratic, and her heart was pounding.

A circular white light flashed, and the noble youth vanished from the spot.

Feeling guilty, Jiang Xinli cautiously glanced at the outer hall.

Yunbo held a blueprint in his hand, while Heinrich explained it attentively beside him.

Heinrich is an elder of the Dolphin Clan, the chairman of the Deep Sea Territory Council, and also serves as the High Priest of the Sea Clan.

With the wedding date approaching, he was probably reporting on the sacrificial ceremony to Yun Bo.

Jiang Xinli gently patted her chest and looked away.

Perhaps Xuan Ying is right; she really is a scumbag.

But actually, she didn't want to either.
Jiang Xinli reached out and rubbed her head, feeling that her mind was in a mess.

She collected her thoughts, walked to the chaise lounge, sat down, closed her eyes, and focused on checking the upgrade progress.

[Special Ability: Rank 6 → Rank 7, Progress +30%]
Healing Vines: 5 → 7

Aggressive vines: 5 → 7

Mental Strength: A-rank → S-rank, Progress +30%

Therefore, the progress of mental strength and superpower level is synchronized.

Moreover, with another 70% progress, it will be able to upgrade to SS rank!
In addition, she also vaguely sensed a powerful force within her body.

That power seemed to be closely related to the half-shattered star soul in her palm.

But she hasn't sensed what exactly it is yet.

In the outer hall, the instant Lancer's figure disappeared.

The merman prince, who was listening intently to Heinrich's report, suddenly darkened his deep purple eyes.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the hall without making a sound.
