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

Chapter 547 Is a Love-Obsessed Mind a Family Tradition?!

Sheng Tianze's aura suddenly turned cold, and his gaze towards Bai Yao held a hint of pressure and scrutiny.

"If Bai Yaoxing is Xue Yin, how would you handle it?"

"Has the Crown Prince forgotten that I am no longer the Lord of the Dark Star?"

Bai Yao met his gaze; his clear, deep green eyes were calm and still.

He raised his long, slender, pale fingers and gently flicked the hem of his snow-white robe.
"I now have only one identity: Xiaoli's beast husband and lover."

He emphasized the word "lover" very heavily.

The last syllable carried a subtle provocation.

A dark glint of determination flickered in those emerald green eyes.

Compared to Jiang Xinli and her several husbands who were initially "bound" together for various reasons and "married first, then fell in love," his relationship with Jiang Xinli was more like a natural progression of mutual affection.

Their relationship was more natural, purer, and more passionate.

Even if Yu Hanche appears, it's like a thorn in my side.

He was determined not to let this thorn get even a little bit between them.

He had also heard more or less about some of the things that Sheng Tianze and Jiang Xinli experienced when they were young.

But at that time, both of them were children.

The emotions of a child who is only a few years old are innocent and naive, and don't mean much.

So what if they're childhood sweethearts?

It's not uncommon for someone to suddenly appear out of nowhere and defeat their childhood friend.

Besides, he never intended to defeat him.

Even after his ultimate mission is completed and he disappears from this world, he still needs to protect her.

Now, he is content as long as she can give him some love.

Seeing that he was avoiding the question, Sheng Tianze's eyes darkened, and his voice became increasingly dangerous:
"You're unwilling to answer. Is there some secret you can't let outsiders know?"

A strange tension had arisen between the two of them.

The last time something like this happened was on Misty Star.

At that time, Sheng Tianze realized that the rabbit was Bai Yao, and the two fought inside the house.

Bai Yao seemed oblivious to the probing in Sheng Tianze's words, while Qingya's gaze fell on Jiang Xinli not far away.
"No matter who I am, this life exists to protect her."

He then met Sheng Tianze's gaze, "If the First Prince were in Xueyin's situation, what would he do?"

"There is no such assumption."

As soon as Sheng Tianze finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Xinli walking towards him out of the corner of his eye, and his fierce aura softened considerably.

Jiang Xinli and Xueyin were talking in hushed tones when they spotted Sheng Tianze and Bai Yao standing opposite each other, both tall and imposing.

A gentle breeze blew, lifting the two handsome men's long, flowing hair.

White as snow, golden as awns.

It's very pleasing to the eye at first glance.

Jiang Xinli knew that all her beast husbands were extraordinary in temperament and handsome in appearance.

But I never imagined that when Bai Yao and Sheng Tianze stood together, such a scene would unfold—

Stunning and pleasing to the eye.

It has a strong visual impact.

She couldn't help but swallow, her eyes crinkling as she walked over, grabbing one of them on each side, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

The two appeared to be having a casual chat, but she still sensed a hint of tension between them.

Sheng Tianze looked down at her, the stern and cold look in his eyes disappearing, replaced by tenderness and doting: "We're talking about Lili."

"Talking about me?" Jiang Xinli grinned, feigning annoyance, "You're not talking badly about me behind my back, are you?"

Sheng Tianze grabbed her wrist with his other hand, pulled her into his arms, and unexpectedly planted a kiss on her wrist:

"We're talking about whether you love me more, or Bai Yao more."

Jiang Xinli choked.

She instinctively tried to let go of Bai Yao's hand, but Bai Yao gently grabbed her wrist in return.

Xueyin, who was following closely behind, watched this scene silently, feeling somewhat uneasy. He thought that things like jealousy and rivalry only happened at home, not in broad daylight.

Ye Kuo and Xue Qianxun, who had already tidied up, all turned their gazes toward the three of them upon hearing the question.

Xuan Ying's vertical pupils turned cold, and he crossed his arms and sneered, "Love-obsessed."

Yuehua Yin glanced meaningfully at him, who shared the same parents as Sheng Tianze, and said, "So, this is a family trait?"

If we're talking about being love-struck, Xuan Ying isn't much better.

"Heh." Xuan Ying scoffed coldly, "At least I won't be like some people, putting on airs even when vying for favor."

Sheng Tianze's gaze swept over Bai Yao's hand, which was still holding Jiang Xinli's, his fingertips gently tracing the girl's nose, and he asked in a low voice:

"Then tell me, Lili, do you crave my embrace more, or are you more reluctant to part with him?"

Sheng Tianze had asked similar questions privately many times.

But this was the first time he had asked the question in front of Bai Yao.

Jiang Xinli was both amused and exasperated.

Normally, if anyone asks her in front of her, she will definitely say that she loves that person.

But now——

A burning gaze, almost tangible, fell upon the back of her head.

She knew it was Bai Yao.

"Aze, do you really want to know?" She nuzzled Sheng Tianze's arm affectionately, while her other hand secretly scratched Bai Yao's palm.

It was a small consolation for her that she had been kissed by Sheng Tianze.

Sheng Tianze remained holding her tightly, showing no sign of letting go. "Hmm, I want to know."

"Me? Of course I am." Jiang Xinli deliberately drew out her words, releasing two transparent dodder vines from her fingertips, which quickly tickled the armpits of the two people who were intently waiting for the answer.
She seized the opportunity to break free from the two men and threw herself into Ye Kuo's arms, the safest spot in her, and said with a smile, "I love myself more!"

“Lili.” Sheng Tianze looked at her and smiled helplessly.

It was somewhat bitter, and also gave me a headache.

A pleased smile curved Bai Yao's lips.

His little pear, though she didn't give a direct answer.

But the answer is obvious.

The group reached the edge of the barrier.

【00:00:00】

As the countdown ended, the barrier that had been in front of everyone opened.

Jiang Xinli glanced at the time; seven hours had already passed the next day.

This means they must complete the second leg of the journey within the remaining 17 hours.

Current air temperature: 25 degrees Celsius. Ground temperature: 28 degrees Celsius. Pollution level: 30.

"The temperature here is normal, but the pollution levels have increased." Bai Yao frowned.

"Therefore, it is highly likely that the pollution levels will increase as time goes on."

Xueyin sniffed the air. "This pollution is very similar to the pollution on Ocean Star."

He looked at Jiang Xinli and comforted her:
“Miss Xinli, don’t worry, my blood can be used to extract a serum to purify this pollution. I can—”

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xinli interrupted him directly.
"Xueyin, your body is already weak. I will not allow you to do anything to harm yourself again."

The boy paused slightly, "...I'm sorry."

How could he forget that his body originally belonged to Yun Bo?

By hurting himself, isn't he hurting Yunbo?
Realizing what he was thinking and noticing that her tone had been a bit too forceful, Jiang Xinli softened her demeanor.
"Xueyin, I'm worried about you too."

The boy smiled shyly, "I know, Miss Xinli."

Jiang Xinli thought for a moment, then gently patted his arm. "We'll find another way to deal with the pollution level."

"Remember to tell me in advance what you're going to do."

"Yes, Miss Kokoro."
