Chapter 587 Is he still coveting you?
That night, the two small fish didn't come out.

After the nth time, Jiang Xinli nestled in Yun Bo's arms and closed her eyes to rest.

The man gently stroked her back and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head. "Little bride, are you sleepy?"

"I'm not sleepy." The girl traced circles on his chest with her pale fingertips. "Are you sleepy?"

Jiang Xinli was actually a little sleepy, as she would have to go through the fourth adventure and trial the next day.

Logically, it's time to go to sleep.

But she dared not sleep.

She feared that when she woke up, Yunbo, which she had finally managed to get back, would disappear again.

"I'm not sleepy either." The man sat up, lifted her up slightly, cupped her face, kissed her, and then looked at her tenderly with his deep purple eyes.
"My dear bride, how have you been these past few days?"

After a moment's thought, Jiang Xinli briefly recounted everything that had happened since she left Ocean Star.

This includes her using the energy of the Ocean Star Sacred Tree to awaken him.

She told him everything, including how Xueyin had risked her life to save her.

The man narrowed his purple eyes slightly. "So, the true form of the Evil God Jin Yuan is very likely hidden in the Ultimate Land?"

“Yes.” Jiang Xinli nodded. “All the trials we are going through now are very likely set up by Him.”

She thought for a moment and then said, "I don't know what He wants, but most likely it's related to me."

"You two do indeed have some connection." The man recalled the ancient battlefields of Ocean Star and the ancient legends of the sea race's royal family, and pulled her closer to him.
"Don't worry, my little bride. This time, I will absolutely not allow Him to take you away from my arms."

The girl frowned, still shaken. "But He is a god."

Whether they are gods or come from a higher dimension.

At least for now, they certainly can't confront Him head-on.

Perhaps, only when she becomes a 4S-level Dark Female, might she still have a sliver of hope of winning.

However, if she is in the Ultimate Land, it means that even if they successfully reach the Ultimate Land, it will not be easy for her to become a 4S-level Dark Female.

“Gods.” The man’s eyes turned cold and deep.

He stretched out his long arm and tightened his grip on her, a cold, murderous glint flashing in his purple eyes.
"Then let's... kill the god."

"Slaying a god?" Jiang Xinli seemed to be deep in thought.

Seeing that her brows had furrowed unconsciously, the man gently rubbed her temples with his fingertips, tenderly comforting her.

"Alright, little bride. Leave these things to me, don't worry too much."

"Since this is a necessary trial for you to become a 4S-level female, just focus on the trial."

"Mmm." Hearing his words, a warm feeling flowed through Jiang Xinli's heart.

"Yunbo." She cupped his face in her hands, her doe eyes sparkling as she looked at him. "Do you regret being awakened by me?"

He's awake now, which means he has to accompany her through the rest of the journey.

This journey was extremely dangerous, and life or death was uncertain.

"Fool." The man laughed at her words.

He reached out and pinched her cheek. "As long as I can be with you, I would be willing to go through fire and water, or be boiled in oil."

"If you ask such a stupid question again, I'll punish you tenfold."

He flicked her forehead lightly, his voice low and teasing.

"Write down what you can't finish tonight in your notebook and continue tomorrow night."

The girl in his arms took it seriously, and her lips parted slightly, "Huh?"

Feeling her muscles tense, and seeing her innocent and adorable expression, he couldn't help but smile. "What?" He gently traced her lips with his thumb, a dark undercurrent surging in his deep purple eyes: "Scared?"

The girl realized he was teasing her, and gave a cold snort.
"Who's afraid of who!"

"Who's afraid of who?" The man paused, his finger still.
"Does this mean you're afraid of who? I heard you say that in my mind back in the underwater palace."

"Mmm." Jiang Xinli nodded, then suddenly choked, her face turning red.

She almost forgot that Yunbo could read everyone's mind within a certain distance.

So, when he had just woken up and replaced Xueyin, she and Xueyin were...
At that moment, she seemed to be wondering why Xueyin had suddenly stopped at the crucial moment.
He couldn't have just happened to hear everything, could he?
The handsome man remained calm and composed.

She asked tentatively, "Yunbo, can you still read my mind now?"

"No more." The man lowered his eyes and kissed her. "Many of my special abilities came from the Abyss of Ashes and that sacred tree before."

When I died last time, breaking my contract with Him, I returned all the supernatural abilities I had gained from Him.

He hugged her tighter. "But don't worry, little bride, I can protect you with my own strength."

"Yes, I believe you, Yunbo." She snuggled gently against him, then remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, I'll keep your trident safe for you. And His Highness C'Thun, he can't return to human form yet, but his severed tentacles have healed."

"Yes, thank you, my little bride," Yun Bo said gently, his handsome brows furrowing slightly.

According to the resurrection secrets of the sea clan royal family, and with the help of his ancient mermaid bloodline, C'Thun should have been able to return to human form long ago.

Could it be that he was injured at the time, which affected the effectiveness of the secret technique?

Is he still inside the water-repelling bead?

"No. His Highness C'Thun didn't want to stay in the Water-Repelling Bead, so I put him in the fish tank in the living room. As for the Trident—"

Just as Jiang Xinli was about to summon her trident, Yun Bo raised his hand and stopped her.

“This trident is said to be the shared energy of the sea god and his bride. You don’t need to return it; I can summon it whenever I need it.”

"You can summon it directly when you need its energy. So, it is also your energy and weapon."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Jiang Xinli exclaimed in shock and delight.

After all, Yunbo's trident energy is indeed extremely powerful.

For her, who already possessed the ability to attack dodder vines, this was like adding wings to a tiger.

"Mmm." The man smiled indulgently. "After all, what's mine is yours, and yours alone."

He smiled slightly.

The girl blinked. "What?"

"Of course it's still yours." His smile deepened, and he lowered his head to give her a deep kiss.

After the kiss ended, he remembered what Jiang Xinli had told him about drawing energy from the Sacred Tree of Ocean Star:

"By the way, what's the situation with Lancer and Ocean Star right now?"

Jiang Xinli explained in detail.

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered what had happened when Lancer contacted him, and the tips of her ears turned red.

The man noticed every subtle expression on her face.

He gazed at her with his purple eyes. "Why is the little bride blushing so much when you mention the Blue Knight?"

Jiang Xinli hadn't acted in a long time, and she also didn't want to act in front of several beastly men.

Her acting skills have plummeted.

Her eyes flickered slightly. "It's nothing, maybe it's just a little hot."

"Is that so?" He gently pinched her chin, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Is he still eyeing my little bride?"
