Chapter 543 The Devil's Pact!
Jiang Xinli turned her head away, her eyes flickering, not daring to look into the boy's burning, affectionate gaze.

If Yunbo really can't wake up.

Would she treat him as her own?

she does not know.

She is feeling very confused right now.

Seeing that she didn't answer, the boy braced himself with one hand on his side, put his arm around her waist, and leaned down to kiss her.
“Miss Xinli, I can love you with my life. I can be like him.”

His ears turned slightly red. "...I'll serve you well."

After saying that, he lowered his head and gently kissed her neck and collarbone.

Looking at the four teardrop-like, icy blue snake scale marks on his collarbone, the boy's eyes darkened.

Rumor has it that it was a mark left by the first female beast mate.

He always thought that her first time should have been with Sheng Tianze.

So, is it that snake?
Snakes have—

He also has it.

She will definitely like it.

Thinking this, the heat in my body became even more pronounced.

He couldn't wait to possess her.

His breathing became heavier, and his kisses became more intense.

But he was very restrained, probing little by little, trying to find out which method she preferred and was more comfortable with.

After all, he knew absolutely nothing about matters between men and women.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xinli figured things out and made a decision.

She pressed down on his hand that was reaching for the hem of her dress. "Xueyin."

"What's wrong, Miss Xinli?" Xueyin stopped kissing, looked up, and stared at her with innocent, clear eyes.

He didn't know if something was wrong with her that made her uncomfortable.

The girl's eyes were slightly red as she looked at him. "Shall we talk?"

A sense of unease and disappointment flashed through the boy's heart.

Is she preparing to reject herself?
"it is good."

He took a deep breath, released her, and helped her sit up.

But he didn't let go of her hand; instead, he held it even tighter.

“Miss Xinli—” he hesitated before speaking.

“Xueyin.” Jiang Xinli looked at him, her tone gentle, “You are not anyone’s substitute.”

The young man lowered his gaze, a flicker of despair in his eyes. "Miss Xinli, it's because I'm not as—"

The girl gently interrupted his words.

She took his hand in return, saying, "Xueyin, you are yourself. You are unique in this world."

“I have never considered you as a substitute for Yunbo.”

"Besides, Yunbo and you—" Jiang Xinli hesitated for a moment before telling him the whole truth.

This includes why he entered Ocean Star, everything he encountered after arriving on Ocean Star, the Abyss of Ember, and the Star Gate War.

And Yunbo sacrificed his life as a sacrifice.

And, the matter of him and Xueyin sharing the same soul.

He told everything in one go.

But she didn't mention that one of the two souls would gradually nourish the other, to the point that it would slowly dissipate.

The boy listened, his body trembling slightly, and he gripped her hand with a little more force.

He lowered his head and remained silent.

Jiang Xinli didn't say anything more.

She knew that such a thing would be like a bolt from the blue for a simple-minded and passionate young man.

But since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to let him know the truth.

Although the truth is cruel.

But he will have to face this fact sooner or later.

The room fell into silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"."

Jiang Xinli's wrist-based personal terminal kept vibrating.

She glanced.

Sheng Tianze: Lili, I feel a little uncomfortable in my chest, it might be a flare-up of an old injury. Could you come and take a look? ┭┮﹏┭┮
Xue Qianxun: My little pear baby, all six of my tails miss you so much. (seduce)
Moonbeam Silver: Mistress, are you hungry? I made your favorite herb-stirred ribs, would you like to try some?
Bai Yao: Little Pear, is she coming?

Xuan Ying: Jiang Xinli, you scumbag! You're dead tonight! (grinding teeth and snorting coldly.jpg)
Jiang Xinli frowned, looked away, and turned to Xueyin. The young man also looked up at the same time. "Miss Xinli, have you ever liked me?" The young man's eyes reddened. "Even if it was just a little bit."

Jiang Xinli was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"But rather than seeing me, would you prefer that His Highness Yunbo appear before you?"

Xueyin felt that she had asked a very silly question.

But this problem weighed heavily on his mind, making it hard for him to breathe.

If he hadn't met her, he would have lived in darkness forever.

But now, his existence is in exchange for the slumber of another soul.

And that spirit was Yun Bo, her beloved.

He was also the mermaid prince whom he once respected and admired the most.

He selfishly wanted him to sleep forever.

Because he really didn't want to go back to that cold and lonely world.

Can--

The boy looked at the girl, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Xinli pursed her lips and nodded. "Yes."

"Xueyin, I don't want to deceive you."

"If possible, I hope you can be well too."

"really?"

"Yes, really." Jiang Xinli pulled her hand away from his. "I'm very grateful that you saved me. But—"

"No one can replace the bond between Yunbo and me."

"Even Tianze and the others can't replace them?"

Jiang Xinli fell silent and did not respond.

"Xueyin, I know this is hard for you to accept. Can you take a break first?"

She stood up. "It's getting late, I'll head back now."

"Miss Xinli—" The boy suppressed his reluctance and silently watched her leave the room.

The moment the door closed, the boy's heart, too, shut shut with a "Kurt."

The room was brightly lit, but in an instant, he was plunged into darkness.

He reached out and hugged himself, as if he were still holding her in his arms.

Suddenly, he looked up alertly.

Suddenly, a high-level barrier, barely perceptible, appeared in the room, along with a dark and powerful eerie aura.

This aura seems somewhat familiar.

Like when he was in the underwater holy tomb, having his blood drained—

It is Him!

The boy suddenly stood up, and his body, due to the stress, was instantly covered with champagne-gold scales.

He clenched his fists, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, and scanned the room.

"Since we're here, why hide?"

He was not afraid of Him before.

Because he has nothing but himself.

And now, he is even less afraid of Him.

Because of him, there is someone I want to protect with my life.

In the corner, a black phantom with enormous black dragon wings slowly emerged.

A deep, husky voice, like a devil's whisper, echoed in his ears.

Do you want her?

"Do you want to take everything from him—his power, his body, his appearance—and completely replace him?"

"I can help you."

A demonic contract written in blood appeared in mid-air before him.
*
Jiang Xinli returned to her room.

As soon as he pushed open the door, Xuan Ying, who was waiting behind it, picked him up.

The man's handsome face was tense, and an aura of icy coldness emanated from his body.

Without a word, he carried her on his back and went straight into the bathroom.

Jiang Xinli got angry when she saw him stripping her off without saying a word. "Xiaoying, what are you doing?"

The man pinched her chin, half-biting and half-kissing her lips.

"I told you, you're dead tonight."
