Chapter 563 Aze, I'm sorry!
Under the worried gazes of several men, Xuan Ying reached out and gently pulled the girl, whose body was covered in red, into his arms.

Jiang Xinli felt dizzy, as if she had been suddenly thrown into a furnace.

My eardrums were buzzing, but the moment I got close to Xuan Ying's arms, my body felt much more comfortable.

A refreshing and pleasant ocean scent enveloped her.

Xuan Ying deliberately controlled her body temperature and the intensity of the cold air, lowering her body temperature without making her feel cold.

Jiang Xinli pressed herself against his chest, wrapped her arms around his waist, and softly called out, "Xiaoying."

Attached, obedient, and gentle.

The man's lips curled into a smile, and his long, slender, pale fingers deftly unbuttoned a few buttons, then held her by the back of her neck, pressing her face directly against his full, firm chest muscles.

If Jiang Xinli hadn't been still sick, Hua Xi would have already exploded and jumped up in anger at his actions.

The boy, his feathers drooping, showed no interest in vying for favor; his eyes were filled with worry.

Saint Tianze's long, slender fingers curled slightly, and his golden eyes darkened slightly.

His Adam's apple bobbed, but his voice remained steady. "Lili, let's try the method from last time."

Jiang Xinli's high fever came on strangely, and her symptoms were also strange.

However, the priority right now is to lower her body temperature.

Bai Yao didn't know what method was used last time.

He had already put the matter of serving the emperor to his bedmates out of his mind.

Right now, all he wants is for her to be alright.

He gently comforted her, "Xiao Li, we're downstairs. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something else."

"Mmm." Jiang Xinli snuggled into Xuan Ying's arms and looked up at him. "Let's go back to the house, Xiao Ying."

"Okay." Xuan Ying looked at the girl who was as obedient as a kitten and was moved.

Just as he was about to bend down and hug her, she refused, saying, "Xiaoying, I want to walk by myself."

"Okay." Xuan Ying had no choice but to take her hand, put one arm around her waist, and lead her upstairs.

Inside the room, a group of men watched the two go upstairs, their eyes and feelings somewhat complicated.

Besides worry, there was also an unspoken feeling that permeated the hearts of Ye Kuo and Hua Xi.

The group glanced at Sheng Tianze out of the corner of their eyes.

The man, with his noble and handsome face and deep golden eyes, stared intently at the slender and delicate back of the girl in front of him.

Aside from worry, there was no other emotion visible.

But the other person's tense jaw, the bulging veins on their neck and arms, all gave away the truth.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Bai Yao followed the scent and glanced over, spotting a few drops of blood silently dripping from Sheng Tianze's clenched fist.

He glanced at Sheng Tianze, then at Xuan Ying and Jiang Xinli, and pondered some of the things Yu Hanche had done before.

"Silly Pear, how about I carry you up?"

"Need not."

As Jiang Xinli slowly walked to the top of the stairs, she suddenly stopped.

She could feel a burning gaze fixed intently on her back.

Knowing that it was the beastmen who were worried about her, she subconsciously turned her head and smiled at them.

"Why don't you all go back to your rooms and rest first? If anything happens, I'll have Xiaoying say it in the family group chat."

There's definitely going to be another fierce battle tomorrow.

You absolutely cannot do without proper rest.

Her gaze swept over the men, finally settling on the source of that burning gaze—Sheng Tianze's face.

The moment their eyes met, the hidden pain in the man's eyes vanished instantly, leaving only his usual gentle smile.

[Goodnight, Pear.]
Jiang Xinli could tell that his smile was somewhat forced.

It gave off a forced, insincere smile. This feeling made her feel somewhat strange.

After all, as the eldest prince of the empire, Sheng Tianze was always calm and composed in public, never showing his emotions.

My occasional outbursts of jealousy only occur when I'm alone with her.

However, she didn't think much about it.

My head is spinning; maybe I'm seeing things wrong.

[Goodnight, Aze.]
The men concealed their worries and nodded with smiles. "Okay, Mistress, please rest well."

Jiang Xinli turned around, and for some reason, she felt a strange pain in her chest.

Just then, some images suddenly flooded into my mind uncontrollably.

She saw Sheng Tianze standing blankly at the entrance of Xuan Ying, his body covered in wounds as if he had been soaked in blood.

She saw two intertwined figures through the crack of the half-open door, behind a thin layer of ice.

She saw the man's brilliant golden eyes instantly dim and darken, and his lonely, trembling back as he walked away alone.

Like a giant iron hammer, it struck her heart with a loud clang.

Jiang Xinli's breath hitched, and her heart trembled violently.

So, what she just felt wasn't her imagination.

Instead, some things stirred up painful memories for Sheng Tianze.
Xuan Ying noticed that something was wrong with her mood, and tightened his grip on her wrist slightly. "What's wrong, silly pear?"

Jiang Xinli pursed her lips and took a deep breath. "It's okay."

The two of them continued walking forward.

Jiang Xinli suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Xiaoying, wait for me a moment."

She abruptly broke free from his hand, turned around, and ran towards Sheng Tianze, who was standing in the middle of the living room, watching the two of them leave.

The man was caught off guard by her sudden turn. Before he could even conceal the pain in his eyes, the girl had already thrown herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.

The men inside the room exchanged glances for a second.

Bai Yao, Xue Qianxun, and Xue Yin looked increasingly puzzled.

Hua Xi and Ye Kuo clenched their fists secretly, glancing at Xuan Ying and Sheng Tianze with increasingly complicated expressions.

A chilling aura emanated from Xuan Ying.

A pair of icy blue vertical pupils were instantly covered with a thick layer of frost, and her cold white knuckles clenched so tightly that they turned bluish-white.

He gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently, and looked at the man in the distance being embraced by a girl.

His silly little pear would one day shake off his hand and run to another man.

And that man, of all people, was him!
He guessed that she was recalling something.

Although a long time has passed, that incident remains a thorn in Sheng Tianze's heart.

But for him, it was no different.

Sheng Tianze quickly summoned a golden light from his palm, healing the wound he hadn't even noticed before gently stroking her back. "Lili, what's wrong?"

The girl didn't speak, burying her face in his warm, broad chest, which carried a faint scent of cedar.

She lowered her eyes and saw a few drops of blood that had not yet dried at the man's feet, and her heart sank.

The girl's eyes suddenly reddened.

Her body trembled, her slender fingertips digging into the fabric of his back.

[I'm sorry, Aze.]
That night I said I'd wait for you, but...
Having been back in interstellar space for so long, and with her feelings for several beastmen growing deeper each time, her views on "first time" are no longer those of the traditional mindset she had on ancient Earth.

But she always felt guilty when facing Sheng Tianze.

When Sheng Tianze left home, she told him that she was ready that night.

She clearly remembered the joy and anticipation in those bright golden eyes when they looked at her.

Everything turned out differently, by a twist of fate.
