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

Chapter 658 Let's form a bond!
The Scorpion City Lord simply wanted to trap her and the nine Stone Clan warriors here beforehand, as they were under the influence of the love potion.

They use the time before dark to perform what they call "blessing".

However, if it is simply a matter of "blessing", then it can be done during the previous bathing and purification process.

Why must it be placed inside the Sacred Beast Ruins?

There must be some mystery behind this that she couldn't have guessed.

The effects of the medicine in her body not only made Jiang Xinli's skin feel hot and flushed, and her heart race, but even her thoughts became blurred.

She dug her nails deep into her palms, using the pain to force herself to stay awake.

“Holy Muse, I am telling you the truth.” Charon’s words brought her back to reality. “Please bless me.”

Jiang Xinli suppressed her physical discomfort and asked, "Tell me first, how do I open the time-space portal?"

Charon suppressed the surging heat within him, his fingers trembling almost imperceptibly as he gently lifted her chin, guiding her gaze towards the dome. "Look up there."

At the center of the dome, where the nine stone pillars converge, a strange totem emerges:

In the center is a crescent moon, surrounded by nine flames, each with a circular groove in its center.

“Kill the nine winged creatures, take the dragon crystals from their hearts, and fill the nine circular grooves with them. Then the gate to any time and space will be opened.”

Before he finished speaking, Charon slowly lowered his head, his chin gently brushing against Jiang Xinli's neck, his hot breath spraying against her ear.

"To kill them, I need the power you bestow."

"So, form a bond with me."

After saying that, he grasped her shoulders, turned her body towards him, and used his fingertips to pry open her collar. The icy scorpion tail, carrying deadly venom, slowly wrapped around her ankle.

"So, the blessing you're talking about is the formation of a bond?" Jiang Xinli sneered. "And you're the one who needs a special blessing?"

"Yes." Charon lowered his head, his lips almost touching hers, but fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he were fiercely battling some internal force.

"According to the Stone Clan, the first person to form a pact with the Holy Female receives the strongest buff."

Suddenly, Jiang Xinli summoned a dodder vine from her fingertip, its leaves transforming into sharp blades that pierced deep into the outside of her thigh.

The sudden, sharp pain brought her to a moment of clarity, clearing her mind of the passion that had been building up.

My back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

She raised her hand, her fair fingertips gently tracing his cheek, and smiled tenderly, "Just like this?"

Such touching was nothing short of torture for Charon, who was already under the influence of the drug.

“Holy Mother,” Charon’s breathing grew heavier, his voice tinged with an barely suppressed longing, “will you form a pact with me?”

Jiang Xinli suppressed the surging heat within her, her eyes suddenly turning cold. "Charon, you're lying!"

His fingers tightened suddenly around her waist. "I didn't."

As the drug's effects intensified, Jiang Xinli's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She fought off the dizziness, took a deep breath, and slowly slid her fingers down along the lines of his abdominal muscles.

"Then why would you help me kill the Winged Clan?"

She easily grasped his weakness.

Or rather, it's an instinct ingrained in the bones of all male orcs.

Despite his strong aversion to her, and even a certain hatred towards her.

But his physical instincts, coupled with the overwhelming effects of the drug, had already shattered Charon's reason.

“Because.” Charon tensed up abruptly, letting out a suppressed groan.

A deeper desire erupted from those amber vertical pupils.

But what followed was an angry outburst of offense and a struggle with an indescribable pain, “You!”

Jiang Xinli lightened the pressure with her fingertips.

Charon's eyes glazed over for a moment, then he murmured, "I don't want to end up like my father." Jiang Xinli was startled, but calmly asked him, "What happened to your father?"

“Didn’t you already guess?” Charon sneered.

Upon hearing this, the eight stone beastmen who were still kneeling and enduring the torment of the aphrodisiac widened their eyes in shock, exclaiming, "Young City Lord!"

Charon scoffed, "Now that things have come to this, why bother hiding it from the Holy Mother?"

“After all, we’re about to form a pact, aren’t we?” He pulled her tightly into his arms, then leaned down and whispered in her ear, his voice trembling, “We, the Stone Clan, need to lift the curse.”

"We, the Stone Clan—no, not just the Stone Clan, but the entire Holy Beast City! Every living being carries a curse!"

Our bodies will gradually stiffen over time, until they are completely petrified, turning into stone sculptures like those sacrifices!

The petrification and death of those sacrifices happened in an instant.

But they had to endure the torment of their flesh and blood solidifying inch by inch over the long years.

For generations, the Stone Clan has been forced to eke out a living under the shadow of a curse!

"So, my father and that owl lied to you. We Stonefolk didn't turn our fur to stone to resist the poisonous fog, but rather—"

He took a deep breath.

The scent of roses emanating from Jiang Xinli deepened the lust in his eyes. "Because of the curse."

"And this curse can only be broken by killing those nine winged creatures."

As Jiang Xinli smelled the increasingly strong datura pheromones on his body, her consciousness began to drift away once again.

She pinched the wound inflicted by the dodder flower's sharp blade, her eyes clearing slightly. "Where did the curse come from?"

"I don't know," Charon said in a low voice, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his dark, turbulent eyes.
"All I know is that killing them will lift the Stone Clan's curse."

"But those nine winged beings are incredibly powerful. Although we nine are the best of the best selected from the entire Stone Clan, we alone may not be able to win."

His fingers, which were resting on her waist, tightened slightly. "Therefore, we need to form a bond with you."

"why me?"

"Because you are the only S-class female that our Stone Clan has encountered in the past hundred years."

Jiang Xinli was taken aback, thinking that he would say something like that she was of the Holy Female bloodline.

“Kill the Winged Clan, break the curse on the Stone Clan, and then help you leave this place. It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?” After saying this, he could no longer restrain himself and pulled her heavily into his arms.

Just as he was about to take it by force, countless transparent dodder vines tightly bound his body.

"It seems the rumors that you've awakened a wood-type ability are true." Charon's vertical pupils narrowed into dangerous slits. "However, your resistance is futile."

His amber vertical pupils turned slightly crimson, and the corners of his lips slowly lifted. "You should have noticed it, right? Your body's reaction is a bit unusual."

"So what if I drugged her? So what?" Jiang Xinli clenched her fingers, a fine layer of sweat already forming on her forehead.
"To resort to such vulgar and underhanded tactics, it's no wonder your Stone Clan is cursed."

She glanced outside instinctively.

In the darkness, the sleeping winged beings resembled twisted and ferocious shadows, sending chills down one's spine.

She wondered if Yu Hanche was alright outside.
“As long as you survive, who cares whether the means are honorable or dirty?” Charon sneered, tightening his grip on her waist.

His hot breath brushed against her ear, his voice low and mocking, tinged with despair:
“Holy Mother. We are all just pawns. The only difference is—you are more precious than us.”

"So, either form a bond with me, or you can resolve it yourself."
Otherwise, you will die.

As expected, I overestimated myself again. It's highly unlikely I'll finish this month. o(╥﹏╥)o
