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

Chapter 549 was quite angry!

Ocean Star, Underwater Palace.

Hearing Jiang Xinli's indifferent and detached voice from the other end of the conch shell, the joy on the young nobleman's face gradually froze and disappeared.

He gripped the edge of the conch shell tightly with his fingertips, his long, slender knuckles turning bluish-white.

"My lady, is it inconvenient for you?"

He waited for her for over a year.

If it weren't for him finding the long-lost summoning technique of the sea tribe and using the conch shell link to contact her across time and space...

Has she completely forgotten him?

Or perhaps His Highness Yunbo woke up early?

So, she no longer needs the energy of the Sacred Tree?
Lancer's heart sank suddenly, and his thumb and forefinger unconsciously pressed tightly together, rubbing them slowly and forcefully.

"Lancer, I'm still on the ultimate path; it's only day two," the girl explained calmly.

"Yesterday we encountered high temperatures and monsters, making the challenge very difficult. We don't know what we'll encounter today."

Jiang Xinli glanced at the few beastmen sleeping soundly with their eyes closed inside the car and whispered, "Therefore, we must never let our guard down."

Upon hearing this, the young man concealed his disappointment and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"Well, no."

"Then Prince Yunbo and Prince C'Thun—" He hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

Jiang Xinli glanced at Xueyin's retreating figure, "Still the same as always."

"Do you still need the energy of the sacred tree now?" he asked cautiously.

The once proud and handsome young nobleman had lost his former sharpness and high spirits, and instead resembled a discarded woman in the cold palace, waiting for the day when she could be favored and pitied again.

Jiang Xinli glanced out the window and saw that the scene outside was still the boundless grassland, and she felt a little relieved.
"Yes, we need to. Now, is that alright?"

"Okay. Then I'll head over to the Sanctuary now."

"Okay, trouble."

Hearing her polite and distant words, Lancer's handsome face grew even darker.

Jiang Xinli gently patted Sheng Tianze, "Aze, help me set up a small soundproof barrier."

The man opened his golden eyes and released his arms from her tight embrace. "Okay."

The other men also gradually "woke up".

However, no one asked any further questions.

They could only watch silently through the rearview mirror as the girl closed her eyes and focused on absorbing the sacred tree's energy through the conch shell.

I felt both worried and bitter.

I was also a little angry—

I was so angry at Lancer for constantly referring to the female master.

Xuan Ying's vertical pupils were cold and unsettling. He wanted to lash out, but he was afraid of accidentally disturbing Jiang Xinli.

The sacred tree quickly absorbed all its energy.

Jiang Xinli recalled the last time he was at the conch shell, listening to her voice while doing those embarrassing things.

Fearing a repeat of the past, they hurriedly hung up the phone.

The young nobleman spoke first, "My lady, the sacred tree has blossomed."

"Blooming?" Jiang Xinli was somewhat surprised. "So fast."

“I’m not happy anymore.” A hint of resentment and bitterness flashed in the young man’s eyes. “My lady, it has been nineteen years, three months, three days, five hours and forty-two minutes since we parted ways.”

God knows how he got through those days.

Jiang Xinli: “.”

Her expression was somewhat complicated. "Then..."

“Once the sacred tree bears fruit, the Ocean Star Gate will reopen. Then I will come to find you.” Lancer’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he asked again:
"My lady, this time, you won't send me away, will you?"

The stargate to Ocean Star is not easy to open. Therefore, once he came out this time, he never thought of going back.

Jiang Xinli felt a slight headache. Just as she raised her right hand, a pair of warm, large hands were placed on her temples, gently massaging them.

She glanced at Sheng Tianze out of the corner of her eye.

The man has a high, straight nose and a smooth, three-dimensional profile.

Her eyelashes were long, thick, and golden.

He focused intently on massaging her, seemingly unmoved.

But the tense jaw and the sudden increase in pressure from the fingertips still betrayed his inner emotions.

Although a soundproof barrier was used, the barrier itself was set up by him.

Saint Tianze, who was right next to her, was certainly fully aware of her conversation with Lancer.

Not to mention, he also has mind-reading abilities.

Although she and Sheng Tianze had agreed that, under normal circumstances, they would try not to listen to each other's thoughts and give each other some space and room to maneuver.

However, she was aware of Sheng Tianze's domineering nature and desire for control.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinli took a deep breath and earnestly said:

“Lancer, you know the strength of the Evil God of the Abyss.”

“The Abyss of the Ocean Star was just a remnant soul before, but now the Abyss of the Dark Star is its entire body.”

"Therefore, the ultimate path now is the path to death, and you really don't need to come here to die."

"Besides, we don't even know if we can reach the ultimate place."

He was interrupted by Lancer halfway through his sentence, "My lady, it is precisely because the journey to the ultimate place is fraught with danger that I have to come here."

“My superpower was already at level 9 before. I believe that, apart from Prince Yunbo, no one has the strength or qualifications to protect you.”

"Besides, compared to coming here to die, I'd rather stay on Ocean Star." The noble youth's knuckles, gripping the conch shell, turned increasingly white.

He gave a self-deprecating chuckle, his voice fading into a dejected hoarseness.
"My lady, without you, Ocean Star is truly a magnificent prison."

I wonder if it's because Yun Bo had said that to Jiang Xinli before.

For no apparent reason, her heart softened.

But she knew what it would mean for the other party if she gave in at this moment.

Moreover, she remembered that due to some kind of restriction, even if the star gate opened, the living sea creatures could not leave Ocean Star.

She didn't want Lancer to do anything foolish.

“Lancer, feelings are two-way. Besides—” her tone softened, “not all feelings can have a happy ending.”

At least, that's how it was in ancient times.

Even married couples can get divorced.

Not to mention, it was only during the dating stage.

Moreover, their relationship was not based on pure motives from the very beginning.

She increasingly felt that interstellar females were like succubi.

Those male orcs seemed to have some kind of drug injected into their genes.
Not all relationships can have a happy ending.
Upon hearing this, the vein on the man's forehead throbbed involuntarily.

A voice whispered in Jiang Xinli's ear, "[Lili, it's not the medicine, it's your charm.]"
Jiang Xinli turned her head and glared at him: [Aze, you were eavesdropping again.]
[Lili, I didn't mean to.]
The man lowered his head, pulled her into his arms, and nuzzled her neck with a slightly aggrieved expression.

In matters of the heart, hesitation only leads to more trouble.
Jiang Xinli sighed inexplicably.

She was well aware of this principle.

Sometimes, your momentary soft-heartedness can be an injustice and a source of harm to others, such as His Highness Yunbo.
[In addition, as far as I know, opening the Ocean Star Gate requires exhausting half of the Ocean Star's vitality.]

Even if Lancer is willing to pay the price, are you willing to watch Prince Yunbo and the sea people you've worked so hard to protect suffer another calamity?
After the man finished speaking incisively, his golden eyes darkened slightly.

Now that things have come to this, Yunbo has sacrificed himself for love, and he has nothing to say.

But what is this persistent dolphin anyway?
