Chapter 297 I Need Your Comfort
Hua Xi summoned a seven-colored feather fan and bristled, saying, "We'll take care of our mistress ourselves!"

"Everyone, are you sure?" Lancer's lips curled slightly as his long, slender, pale fingers lightly touched the wave pattern on his gilded sword.

With a "whoosh," as a blue wave appeared in mid-air, Lancer lightly snapped his fingers and grabbed Jiang Xinli's wrist.

Before Jiang Xinli could break free, the space instantly distorted, and she found herself on the silver-white deck of the top deck of the warship.

Blue sky and white clouds, waves rolling like snowflakes.

The salty sea breeze blows, making it humid and sticky.

“I’m sorry, Miss Xinli.” Lancer quickly released her hand and said politely, “Please forgive my unintentional offense.”

"However, what I did just now was for your own good and the good of your beast husbands. There are some things—" His tall and imposing figure suddenly moved a few steps closer to her,

“Miss Xinli, if you really want to leave Ocean Star, there are many things that you will have to do yourself.”

Jiang Xinli subconsciously took a step back, secretly startled, but her expression remained unchanged:
"You knew we were going to leave Ocean Star?"

“Of course.” Lancer stood still, his left hand lightly resting on his sword, his right hand clenched into a fist behind his back.

He looked up and gazed at the distant sea, his glacier blue hair being tossed by the sea breeze, outlining his perfect profile and jawline.

A high-frequency sonic wave, imperceptible to ordinary people, emanated from his forehead and projected into the distant deep sea.

Soon, a sound wave, imperceptible to ordinary people, was reflected back from the distant deep sea.

A fleeting shadow crossed the young man's icy eyes.

Jiang Xinli glanced at him, her gaze hardening.

The platinum-trimmed knight's uniform perfectly hugged the young man's tall and slender figure, outlining a sharp silhouette in the sunlight.

The moment the sea breeze lifted his glacier-blue hair, Jiang Xinli thought she had traveled into an animated movie.

However, now is not the time to admire handsome men. While the other party is focused on "enjoying the scenery", she opened her personal terminal and her fingers flew across the keyboard.

[Who will put the female master to sleep today (6)]

Jiang Xinli: Brothers, I'm fine. Everything is going according to plan.

Jiang Xinli: Now that you're here, there are some things we might not be able to get out of you.

Jiang Xinli: Wait for my good news, sweetie. Mua~
Sheng Tianze: Okay, then Lili, please be careful.

“If Miss Xinli is willing,” Lanse turned around slowly, a sincere smile appearing in his glacial blue eyes as he gazed at her, “I can help you.”

"Help me?" Jiang Xinli raised an eyebrow slightly, her scrutinizing gaze falling on the distinguished young nobleman before her. "How can you help?"

The young man smiled slightly. "Miss Xinli, what do you think of the scenery of this azure sea before us?"

“It’s very beautiful.” Jiang Xinli looked up and said truthfully.

In her previous life, she lived in a southern inland city.

Whether it's heavy snow or the sea, seeing it brings joy.

However, for her, this ocean star was still more of an unknown danger.

As Lancer turned around, she felt the sense of being watched even stronger.

The private dining room was not far from the two of them.

But Jiang Xinli knew that going in for a meal was just a pretense.

It's true that I had something to discuss with her alone.

"The deep sea territory will be even more beautiful than here. However, getting there smoothly will not be easy."

With a flick of his finger, a holographic projection appeared in mid-air in front of Jiang Xinli.

The image shows a vast blue sea with rolling waves.

Scattered among the waves were areas shrouded in thick black fog.

"What is this?" Jiang Xinli's gaze fell on the thick black fog.

Lancer cut to the chase, "Deep-sea contaminated zone." "Deep-sea contaminated zone?" Jiang Xinli frowned. "Are there contaminated deep-sea monsters there?"

“Yes.” Lancer tapped his finger lightly, retracting the holographic screen. “I know Miss Xinli’s beast husbands; although their supernatural abilities aren’t high, their strength is still quite decent, but—”

“This is the deep sea, our territory. I don’t believe they can still protect you here.”

Jiang Xinli seemed to hear some hints in his words.

But there were some things she still needed to confirm: "The place you're talking about, does it also include the deep-sea territory?"

"Yes."

"Then what can you do?"

“I will help you reach the Deep Sea Territory safely. That’s the first point. As for the second point—” He paused deliberately:
"You will know when you reach the deep sea territory."

Jiang Xinli: "Then what do you need me to do?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

“I need yours,” Lancer said softly, extending his hand from behind his back to reveal his long, slender, pale fingers, which were slightly calloused.

In the palm of his hand was a bright red full moon.

“To soothe.” His voice was deep and melodious, with the unique intonation of the dolphin tribe, as if he were chanting.

Jiang Xinli raised an eyebrow and glanced at him:
Mental riot value: 37%.

Not high, but not low either.

"Besides this?"

"Gone."

"That simple?"
A smile spread across the young man's handsome face: "Miss Xinli, this is no simple matter. We sea creatures have long lifespans, and this is the riot value I've accumulated over 300 years."

It may look like only 37%, but in reality, it's hundreds of times that of your male land-based orcs.

And what I need is your reassurance along the way.

Jiang Xinli was astonished, "300 years?!"

He looks to be no more than 20 years old.

However, even if it were hundreds of times greater, it would be a piece of cake for her.

But she did not agree immediately.

She glanced sideways at the white room over there. "Ever since I came to this planet, I've felt like there's always a gaze watching us."

Do you know what that is?

"I don't know." A strange glint flashed in the young man's eyes as he said calmly.

"However, Miss Xinli, there are two things we hope you will remember on Ocean Star:"
1. Whoever fights with dragons for too long will become a dragon himself.

2. "You gaze into the abyss, and the abyss gazes into you."

Jiang Xinli frowned. "What does this mean?"

"I'm sorry, that's all I can tell you. There's nothing more I'm authorized to say." Lancer bowed slightly.
"Furthermore, the Deep Sea Territory is strictly hierarchical and has complex factions, so I hope Miss Xinli is mentally prepared."

Jiang Xinli raised an eyebrow. "I have another question. You said you could help us leave Ocean Star, so can you help me give up the arranged marriage?"

“I’m sorry, but without a successful marriage alliance with the three princes, I cannot leave Ocean Star. So—” He gave Jiang Xinli a meaningful look:
"Once we reach the deep sea territory, I will do my utmost to assist you in defeating Miss Wanwan, who has an S-level mental strength, to secure a marriage opportunity, and then allow you to leave Ocean Star smoothly."

Jiang Xinli asked in confusion, "Why can't I leave Ocean Star smoothly if I can't have a successful marriage?"

“Miss Xinli—” Lancer extended his palm towards her again, “I can only tell you this question after Miss Xinli agrees to cooperate with me.”

A slight smile played on his lips, and in the depths of his glacial blue eyes, the ice was slowly melting.

"How is it, Miss Xinli?"
