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

Chapter 653 Perhaps, it was the last time I kissed her.
Yu Hanche cupped Jiang Xinli's face in his hands, his voice low and deep, "Dark Lord, are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" She looked up at him.

He lowered his head, his forehead gently touching hers, his warm breath brushing against her cheek:
"I have a feeling that tonight's sacrificial ceremony will not be peaceful."

Jiang Xinli's heart tightened.

In her memory, ancient rituals were mostly bloody.

Not to mention this sacred beast city, where both the scorpion city lord and his subjects are all fierce beastmen.

Ask her if she's scared?
To be honest, of course she was afraid.

But she had no choice.

Falling into such a secret place where everyone keeps quiet is like falling into a role-playing survival game.

Only by following the plot can we find the real way out.

"I'm scared," she honestly admitted.

"It's right to be afraid." The man's lips curled into a slight smile. "But don't worry, no matter what happens tonight, I will protect you."

After saying that, he kissed her.

Seeing that Jiang Xinli did not dodge, he gently brushed his lips against hers, as if testing her, or as if confirming her presence.

Her lips were soft and sweet, making you want to take a few more bites.

This time, instead of pushing him away, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist.

It was as if they had received a silent permission.

He easily pried open his lips and teeth.

Close your eyes.

He was intently capturing every trace of her essence.

If something really happens tonight, this might be the last time I kiss her.

With that thought in mind, he kissed her fiercely.

With conquest, possession, and a final farewell.

Jiang Xinli felt weak all over from his kisses and leaned against his chest.

He simply picked her up and the wind chain naturally wrapped around her legs, securing her firmly around his waist.

Her hands involuntarily tightened around his neck.

The kiss was passionate and lingering.

With a long-awaited, almost greedy, desire.

Time passed by minute by minute.

She was a little out of breath, her cheeks flushed, and she nestled against his neck, breathing softly.

My heart was pounding.

It's not just because of kissing.

There were other complex emotions, some of which she herself couldn't quite explain.

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of the two people breathing.

He held her tighter, lowered his head to kiss her hair, and then kissed her lips again.

My palms were hot and burning.

He pressed his hand against her waist through her clothes, his fingers trembling slightly as he suppressed his impulse.

After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively slipped his hand under her clothes.

The clothes inside were also prepared by him.

He had thought about how to solve it many times, but when he actually encountered it, he became clumsy.

After a few fumbles, my fingertips finally found the frenulum.
Warm palms, fingertips with slight calluses, gently brushed against the skin, sending a shiver down the spine.

She slightly opened her eyes, her hazy gaze falling on the familiar little mole at the corner of his eye.

In an instant, another face with the same small mole, but with a completely different temperament, entered her mind.

It felt like a fine needle had gently pricked my chest.

All the confusion vanished in an instant, leaving only clarity and a trace of panic.

"No—" She weakly raised her hand and pressed it against the back of his hand through the fabric.

"Dark Lord," he said, his breathing slightly erratic, his voice hoarse, "we still have plenty of time."

The pressure on the back of his hand loosened slightly.

Just as he was about to continue, the light screen hovering in the corner, monitoring the area outside the domain, suddenly lit up.

The announcement from the horned lizardmen came through:
"Holy Mother, we've come to bring you some things."

Seeing that no one answered, he raised his voice and repeated himself.

The ambiguous atmosphere vanished instantly, and Jiang Xinli fully regained her senses. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes. "Yu Hanche, put me down."

Yu Hanche froze, and the arm around her tightened instantly.

He slowly raised his eyes, glanced at the light screen, and the desire surging in his red eyes froze instantly, turning into a sinister killing intent tempered with ice.

He glanced at Jiang Xinli, whose hair was slightly disheveled and clothes were a bit rumpled, and said, "I'm going out. You wait for me here."

Yu Hanche left the domain.

He came in shortly afterward.

Jiang Xinli has calmed down from her panic.

My clothes and hair are all done.

Yu Hanche's heart sank, and his tone became somewhat displeased.

"They brought several boxes of jewelry and spices, and said that we needed to bathe and burn incense before the evening's sacrificial ceremony."

As he spoke, he placed a spatial ring in her palm, saying, "I'll accept the jewelry for you; why not take it?"

Jiang Xinli gave a soft "Mmm," not daring to look at him. "Shall we go out and check the situation?"

"Alright." Yu Hanche grasped her hand. "Dark Lord?"

Jiang Xinli instinctively pulled back, "What's wrong?"

Yu Hanche looked at her with expectation in his eyes, "I want to hear you say it again, they are not as good-looking as me."

Jiang Xinli pursed her lips, turned her head away, and said, "Boring~"

He smiled and stopped teasing her.

As the two stepped out of the domain and opened the door, the horned lizard beastman immediately came to greet them.

He bowed to Jiang Xinli and asked, "Holy Mother, did you like the things I just gave you?"

Jiang Xinli nodded slightly, "We want to go out for a walk."

"I'll stay with you—"

"No need." Yu Hanche glanced at him and interrupted coldly, "My mistress and I rarely have time to be alone, and we don't want to be disturbed."

He exuded an aura of power, and his eyes held a warning.

The horned lizard beastman shrank his neck and asked hesitantly, "You're not going to leave the city, are you?"

"No," Jiang Xinli replied.

The horned lizard beastman glanced furtively at the flawed red full moon sand in Yu Hanche's palm, and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Yu Hanche.

Even though there is a female master, the red color of the full moon sand is still there.

Such a male would be laughed at if placed in the City of Sacred Beasts.

It seems that even this handsome male isn't very popular.

Just then, remembering the instructions of the Scorpion City Lord, he stepped aside and said, "Then please, you two."

Jiang Xinli and Yu Hanche had no idea what he was thinking.

The two left the palace and headed straight for the saxaul trees.

As soon as I stepped out of the underground palace, a wave of heat hit me.

The saxaul tree stood silently in the glaring sunlight.

However, the two of them felt something was strange.

It was daytime, and the Stone Clan, who were nocturnal, should have been out and about.

But along the way, apart from the guards on their daily patrols, they didn't see any extra people.

Yu Hanche used his spatial power to sense that there was a lot of energy flowing inside the underground palace, including the outer area.

This means that all these people stayed indoors.

As Jiang Xinli approached the saxaul trees, she also noticed something was wrong. "These trees are strange."

"what happened?"

Despite the wind, the leaves remained completely still.

"Is the tree fake?"

"It's not fake, it's alive." Jiang Xinli frowned.

"But they can't speak, and it's as if they're bound by some kind of force."

Yu Hanche stared at the trees with his red eyes for a moment, then his voice deepened, "They've been petrified."

"Petrification?" Jiang Xinli was taken aback. "Could it be that it's also to resist the poisonous fog?"

"It's not as simple as just resisting the poisonous fog." Yu Hanche frowned even more deeply.

"The petrification marks on the city lord's armor are exactly the same as those on these trees."
