Chapter 616 Outrageous! Everyone's Jealous?!

"Mm." Jiang Xinli smiled at the beastmen, raising her palm. "Brothers, please come in~"

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a gloomy gaze out of the corner of his eye.

She turned to meet C'Thun's gaze, smiled politely, and said, "C'Thun, please come in as well."

The young man gave a faint smile. "Yes, sister-in-law."

As Jiang Xinli had expected, her small room was instantly filled with several tall, burly beastmen as soon as they entered.

The architectural styles of interstellar space differ greatly from those of ancient Earth.

But the beastmen wanted to learn more about Jiang Xinli's past life through some details.

So as soon as they entered the house, the men looked at every corner with curiosity, as if they had stumbled into a strange world.

Bai Yao asked softly, "Xiao Li, may I look around?"

“Of course!” Jiang Xinli smiled.

The beastmen didn't stand on ceremony, rummaging through things here and there.

Jiang Xinli's home is an exquisite loft.

The first floor consists of a living room, a bathroom, and a simple kitchen next to the hallway.

Going up the stairs, you'll find a bedroom and a small walk-in closet.

Hua Xi took a few steps up to the second floor.

The low ceiling forced the tall, upright boy to bow his head slightly.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, his fingertips gently tracing the sheets, and looked down at Jiang Xinli:
"Little Pear, you're probably the only one who's ever slept in this bed, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of several beastmen turned to Jiang Xinli.

Jiang Xinli was taken aback. "Of course! Who else could be in such a small room?"

The men all breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the guise of a visit, they had already thoroughly explored every corner like hunting dogs.

Apart from the faint scent of roses on her, there was indeed no trace of a strange man.

Sheng Tianze's golden eyes welled up with tears as he pulled Jiang Xinli into a tight embrace.

He lowered his head and kissed her hair, his suppressed voice choked with sobs.

"Pear."

For so many years, he has worried day and night about what kind of life she is living in another world.
What kind of place would a princess, who has been pampered by her parents since childhood, live in?
Now, he finally saw it.

His daughter, Lili, lives a strong and lonely life alone in this small world.

If only he could have been by her side back then.

He deserved to die back then.

Even if she can't return to interstellar space, at least she won't have to bear this loneliness alone.
Hearing his heartfelt words, Jiang Xinli felt a lump in her throat and reached out to wrap her arms around the man's firm waist.

[Aze, don't blame yourself.]
He held her even tighter, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

[Lili, I don't have it]
The remaining beastmen looked at the two people embracing affectionately, and their expressions were rather unpleasant.

But recalling their childhood experiences, they instantly understood and tacitly looked away.

Only C'Thun, standing in the corner, stared intently at the two with a gloomy expression.

After a while, Sheng Tianze finally calmed down.

He looked around and said, "It seems that Lili hasn't stayed here for a long time either?"

Jiang Xinli: "Yes, I was away for a while because of filming."

It happened to be summer vacation at school, and she took on that role at the last minute. The film was to be shot in a film studio on the outskirts of the city, so she moved there temporarily.

Looking back now, if I hadn't gotten that role and hadn't been struck by lightning in the rain, I don't know if I would have had the chance to return to interstellar space and reunite with Sheng Tianze and the others.

After "reconnoitering" upstairs, Hua Xi came downstairs.

He glanced at the pile of strangely shaped little animals on the back of Jiang Xinli's living room sofa.

One of them was bright red with a pointed beak, resembling a bird. Hua Xi's eyes widened instantly, and with a long stride, she scooped up the little red bird.
“Little Pear, your family even has—” He excitedly began, but then stopped abruptly.

Looking at the fluffy little chick doll in his hand, the boy's bright smile instantly fell.

He looked around but didn't find the peacock, and said angrily:

"Little Pear, why aren't there any peacocks? There's only a chicken! And such an ugly chicken at that!"

Jiang Xinli looked completely bewildered.

The remaining beastmen gathered around.

Sheng Tianze picked up a cute red tiger, a smile playing on his lips, but he still asked,

"Lili, why aren't tigers white?"

Bai Yao flipped over a red rabbit, his brow furrowing and then tightening again.

But after glancing at Xuan Ying and seeing that he had also pulled out a small red snake, he seemed to understand.

The man with a refined and clean-looking face suddenly brightened up, his eyes and brows almost imperceptibly.

Ye Kuo and Yue Huayin exchanged an awkward glance.

The two searched for a long time but couldn't find the animal plush toys that belonged to them.

Hua Xi flipped through it again, "There are even oxen and dragons! Strange, why aren't there leopards and wolves!"

He bristled and glared at Jiang Xinli, "Little Lili, you're being unfair!"

"Little Peacock, I really didn't show any favoritism." Jiang Xinli was both amused and exasperated. She reached out and tugged at his arm, then picked up a toy mouse.

"In ancient Earth, this was called the Chinese zodiac, which consisted of 12 animals used to represent the years. Therefore, not all animals had this feature."

As she spoke, she rubbed her temples and recited the twelve zodiac animals to the animal handlers.

"Really? Then why is there this?" Hua Xi pulled a red fox out from behind her.

Xue Qianxun, who had been feeling down, suddenly brightened up and snatched it away.
"I knew it! My little pear has me in her heart!"

"That's called Ahri, she's an anime character," Jiang Xinli quickly explained.

Hua Xi raised her lips and sneered, "I don't care, why are they included but I'm not!"

The Moonlit Silver Wolf's tail brushed against Jiang Xinli's hand. "Mistress, it seems there aren't any wolves here either."

Ye Kuo disliked arguing, but seeing everyone asking, he couldn't help but ask as well, "Mistress, why aren't there any leopard cubs?"

At this moment, Yunbo, who appeared calm but whose eyes were actually searching for the pile of dolls, also came over.

He took Jiang Xinli's hand, his purple eyes gazing at her tenderly, but his voice was somewhat cold.

"Little bride, do you want to explain why there's no mermaid?"

He used to think that Sheng Tianze, Xuan Ying, Bai Yao, and Xue Qianxun would be his four most formidable rivals in love.

Unexpectedly, even back on ancient Earth, his little bride treated the four of them differently.

Jiang Xinli: (⊙o⊙)
She blinked, looking at the several beastly husbands who were eyeing her with hostility and jealousy, demanding an explanation. She felt as if countless crows were cawing overhead.

These little animals are gifts she received every year during Chinese New Year when she went around getting free meals from various places.

For good luck, that's why I've kept it.

Any one of these items costs no more than thirty yuan on Taobao.

The beastmen before them could easily buy tens of billions of beasts with a single move.
But it was clear that they wouldn't listen to her explanation.

Jiang Xinli gave an awkward smile and patted her chest.
"When we get back to interstellar space, I'll definitely buy all the dolls that represent my brothers' beast-like forms!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she was suddenly pulled into Xuan Ying's arms by the icy blue snake tail.

“Little silly pear,” the man said, his pale fingers flicking out a metal photo frame and handing it to her.

His voice was low and dangerous:
"Tell your husband who this strange man who's hugging you is!"
