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

Chapter 655 Holy Mother, please let me serve you during your bath!
Jiang Xinli gasped.

Emerging from behind the veil were the nine Stone Clan warriors that the Scorpion City Lord had "given" to her.

However, they were previously in a half-human, half-beast form, but now their lower body beast form has transformed into long, straight legs.

He wore only a few black strips of cloth with dark red and gold runes hanging from his waist.

It was pitifully little, practically nothing.

Her perfect figure was almost entirely exposed to the air.

The hamster maids kneeling on the ground lowered their heads even further.

Nine stone beastmen walked up to Jiang Xinli and stood in front of her, bowing together and saying, "Holy Mother, we have come to serve you during your bath."

Jiang Xinli suppressed her embarrassment and anger, and coldly glanced at them.
"Didn't the city lord say that males are forbidden from entering this side hall?"

The lead scorpion orc took half a step forward and bowed in greeting.

“Reply to the Holy Mother—my father was referring to the restriction on the main hall’s door.”

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he bent his back even deeper.

The fabric hanging from her waist parted with her movements and body, revealing a glimpse of her lean waist and abdomen, a fleeting glimpse of summer light:
"And we came in through the secret passage in the back hall."

He looked up at Jiang Xinli and said in a low voice, "He didn't lie to you, he just...didn't tell you everything."

He paused, then lowered his head. "I apologize to you on his behalf."

Jiang Xinli's several beast husbands all have excellent physiques.

Although the other party was quite unrestrained, this level of seduction was nothing to her.

Her sharp gaze fell back on his face.

The scorpion orc in front of him was handsome, with well-defined features and a pair of amber vertical pupils.

He was tall and muscular, with well-defined muscles and a tanned complexion.

A powerful scorpion tail hung down behind him, its tip a dark red with potent venom.

He exudes a dangerous wildness.

Jiang Xinli calmly took a few steps closer to him. "Is the Scorpion City Lord your father?"

"Yes, Holy Mother."

A slightly spicy scent of datura pheromones wafted from him.

Jiang Xinli looked at the four scorpion beastmen behind her, "Are they also?"

The scorpion-like orc, who was second in line and had brown vertical pupils, quickly bowed.

"Only the young city lord is."

Young City Lord?
Jiang Xinli raised an eyebrow and looked at the young city lord of the Scorpion City, "What's your name?"

"Charon".

"Charon." Jiang Xinli took a step back, looking him up and down.
"So, you're the one who needs a special blessing?"

Charon did not answer directly, but said only, "It all depends on the Holy Mother's will."

He reached out his hand to Jiang Xinli, "Holy Mistress, please allow me to serve you during your bath."

Jiang Xinli frowned as she looked at the flawless red full moon-shaped mark on his palm.

Hopefully, things aren't as she thinks.

Seeing that she didn't move, Charon whispered a reminder: "Holy Muse, the auspicious hour is approaching soon."

Jiang Xinli glanced at him, her tone indifferent, "Are you sure it's you who serves me?"

“Yes. This is an ancient ritual passed down by the Stone Clan.” Karon said, a black ribbon appearing in his hand.

He closed his eyes, neatly blindfolded them with the silk ribbon, and then reached out his hand to Jiang Xinli again.

The other eight warriors also blindfolded themselves with the same black ribbons.

They knelt on either side of the bathtub, muttering something under their breath.

Jiang Xinli sneered inwardly: "Playing tricks."

We'll have to see what they're really up to.

She took a deep breath and placed her hand in his palm. Nine transparent, scarlet dodder vines silently transformed into sharp blades, hovering around Charon, ready to attack at any moment.

Charon took her hand and slowly led her to the edge of the bath.

He stopped, gathered her long hair behind her head, helped her take off her coat, and then led her into the misty hot spring.

"Holy Mother, when you descend the stone steps, please step down with your left foot first."

"These hot spring waters are all morning dews collected from the City of Sacred Beasts over the past thousand years. These rose petals were also planted specifically for today."

He paused, "The Holy Mother should know how difficult it is to grow a flower in the desert."

Jiang Xinli didn't say anything, but stepped into the hot spring water one step at a time along the stone steps.

The aroma of spices filled the air, and the flavor became even stronger.

The moment the warm water flowed over her body, she felt a little more relaxed.

Charon suddenly had a small jade ladle in his hand.

"Now I need to cleanse you, which requires pouring holy water ninety-nine times." He said, scooping up warm spring water and gently pouring it onto Jiang Xinli's shoulders, neck, and back.

Apart from accidentally touching her with his fingers when he helped her take off her coat, he hasn't done anything out of line since they entered the pool.

Everything seems to be normal.

But Jiang Xinli dared not be careless.

She could clearly smell the datura pheromones on him, and they were getting stronger and stronger.

Sure enough, on the ninety-ninth time, he suddenly moved closer, bracing himself on the edge of the pool on either side of her body, trapping her in the middle.

He leaned down, his voice very close to hers, "The Holy Mother seems...afraid to look at me?"

Jiang Xinli looked calmly at the black silk ribbon covering his eyes. "Can your silk ribbon really block my vision?"

“Of course.” A slow smile played on his lips, his tone slightly seductive. “Would the Holy Maiden like to give it a try?”

Jiang Xinli sneered, "What exactly do you want?"

"I desire the blessing of the Holy Mother." He moved a little closer. "Is that alright?"

"Okay." Jiang Xinli reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, pulling him down slightly, her lips almost touching his ear.

"As long as you answer my questions honestly, I will bless you, and it's all good."

The moment her hand touched his neck, all the muscles in his body tensed up.

Although his face was covered with a silk ribbon, she could sense that he instinctively resisted her touch.

But this resistance was fleeting.

Charon smiled. "The Holy Mother didn't even ask what 'blessing' means?"

Jiang Xinli smiled but didn't say anything.

Her beastly husbands had already used this seduction tactic before.

Can't you guess what "blessing" means?

But what she really wanted to know was what this blessing meant to them.
A power boost? Or something else?
She asked, "What's inside the Sacred Beast Ruins?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the dark red scorpion tail behind Charon coiled around her slender ankle like a venomous snake, its cold surface slowly brushing against her fair and delicate skin.

He lowered his head, his warm breath brushing against her ear, "The Holy Maiden will know once she enters the Holy Beast Ruins."

"Is that so?" Jiang Xinli sneered. "Looks like you've never been to the Holy Domain either?"

"The sacrificial ceremony is held once every thousand years, and I am not qualified to enter."

"Okay, then let me ask an easy question." She pressed her finger down a little, "What exactly were you looking for when you went out treasure hunting?"

After asking the question, Jiang Xinli was slightly startled:
There are nine winged creatures guarding the sacred beast ruins, and nine warriors who won the treasure hunt.

Is it a coincidence?
Was it intentional?
“A treasure offered to the sacred beast.” Charon’s scorpion tail tightened its grip. “You will see it when you arrive at the ceremony.”

Jiang Xinli glanced at him: "You're quite meticulous."

Her fingers gently traced the dark carapace that was faintly visible on his waist and abdomen, her voice lowering:

Will you become like your father someday?
