Chapter 574 Xueyin, sleep with me.
Xueyin's gaze followed Jiang Xinli's movements and landed on her hands.

He had noticed her hands long ago.

Her fingers were fair and slender, like meticulously crafted works of art.

Yet, these very hands are adorned with priceless rings and bracelets.

On her slender, white swan neck, besides the shimmering sea crystal ring, there was also a dazzling gemstone necklace.

It's obvious without even guessing that these were gifts from her beastly husbands.

Thinking of this, a pang of sadness welled up in his heart.

Aside from that broken mermaid heart scale, he seemed to have never given her anything decent.

He always had nothing in front of her.

The feelings of inferiority that had been suppressed in my heart for so long surged up again.

"Buzzing!" The roar grew even more deafening. He quickly snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Jiang Xinli. "Miss Xinli, come inside quickly."

"Okay. Be careful." Jiang Xinli turned around, waved her hand again, and shattered the two giant mosquitoes.

She looked up and quickly glanced at the cave.

The cave is riddled with cracks, making it impossible to predict when new giant poisonous mosquitoes will fly in.

She glanced at Xueyin, who was guarding the cave entrance, pursed her lips, and went into the tent.

Just as she finished zipping up her jacket, three giant poisonous mosquitoes attacked Xueyin from behind.

"Xueyin, be careful." Before the words were finished, a stream of water had already shredded the two giant mosquitoes into dust.

Soon, a few more arrived.

It was shredded again by the water flow.

Jiang Xinli observed for a while and realized that the mosquitoes hadn't noticed her hiding in the tent at all. "Xueyin, come into the tent too."

Therefore, even if the mosquitoes mutate, they can still be hidden by the tent.

Not to mention, the tents produced by StarCraft also feature other cutting-edge technologies.

Xueyin said warily, "It's alright, Miss Xinli, I can protect her."

“I know you can hold out.” Jiang Xinli checked his mental rage level, which was slowly rising. “But I’m afraid they’re using sheer numbers as a tactic.”

"Moreover, if I remember correctly, mosquitoes use their body temperature, the scent secreted by human skin, and the concentration of carbon dioxide to locate their targets."

Once you enter the tent, they might not detect your presence and leave on their own.

Xueyin hesitated for a moment.

"If that doesn't work, we can just shoot them out."

With their special abilities, eliminating the mosquitoes was a piece of cake.

But what they need is to preserve their strength as much as possible before the real crisis arrives.

To prevent superpowers from being exhausted prematurely.

"Okay." Xueyin waved her hand, swatting away a few scattered giant mosquitoes, and went into the tent.

The water blade barrier at the cave entrance was still spinning silently.

A dozen or so giant mosquitoes emerged from the cracks in the rocks.

After hovering at low altitude for a moment, they landed silently on the stone wall.

Although it remained motionless, its scarlet compound eyes and slender, sharp mouthparts still exuded a dangerous aura.

Jiang Xinli gently nudged Xueyin's arm and whispered, "Look, they haven't noticed us."

Xueyin glanced up at the swarm of mosquitoes, her gaze landing on the slightly smug face of the mosquitoes, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Xinli blinked, puzzled. "What are you laughing at?"

“Miss Xinli, haven’t you noticed?” The boy’s lips curled up slightly, his eyes sparkling with a subtle light, “Sometimes, you are especially adorable.”

The tent wasn't big, and the two people were already close to each other.

Being stared at so intently by him, Jiang Xinli's ears turned red. She turned her face away and subconsciously said,

"She's cute, but pitiful that nobody loves her."

This phrase originally came from a joke made by people on ancient Earth.

She just said it casually to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, the boy took it seriously.

He stopped smiling, gently cupped her face, and forced her to look directly at him. "No, Miss Xinli, many people love you."

His fingers tightened slightly. "And I love you very much too."

Jiang Xinli: “.(⊙o⊙)…”

She coughed awkwardly, "I was just joking."

“I know.” The boy smiled faintly, gazing at her. “But every word I said was sincere.”

Jiang Xinli's ear tips turned even redder.

She hurriedly looked away, glancing at the water-shaped barrier at the cave entrance. "Should we try to capture it?"

The water curtain can provide continuous protection, but it will continuously deplete Xueyin's special ability.

"Alright." Xueyin lightly turned her fingertips, and the water barrier immediately cracked open, creating a gap just large enough for a single giant mosquito to pass through. "Buzz!" The giant mosquito roared and swarmed in.

Faced with the swarm of giant red-eyed mosquitoes, Jiang Xinli instinctively tensed her body.

Xueyin reached out and pulled her into her arms, but her gaze was fixed sharply on the swarm of mosquitoes.

The giant mosquitoes scurried around like headless flies for a while before landing on the cliff face.

Crimson spots instantly covered the stone wall, sending chills down one's spine.

Xueyin observed for a moment, then with a flick of her finger, completely removed the water curtain.

A pungent, fishy stench, accompanied by a loud buzzing sound, poured in.

There were so many giant mosquitoes that even the tent for the two of them trembled slightly.

Xueyin sat calmly, freeing one hand, ready to retaliate at any moment.

Jiang Xinli felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the swarm of mosquitoes.

She thought for a moment, then released dodder vines from her fingers, quickly weaving a dense, airtight protective net along the tent.

"Miss Xinli, I never imagined your special ability could be used like this." The boy said with surprise, then suddenly lowered his head and quickly pecked her lips.

Jiang Xinli, "."

The space inside the cave is cramped.

The giant mosquitoes that flew in later circled for a few weeks without finding their target and then left one after another.

The giant mosquitoes that had been resting on the cliff also left.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The wrist-mounted computer buzzed loudly.

It was a message sent by Sheng Tianze and his group.

They also encountered an attack by giant mosquitoes.

However, with Bai Yao and Sheng Tianze, two high-level spatial ability users, a spatial protective barrier blocked everything.

Ye Kuo added: "My lady, the tent has a special protective coating that effectively repels wild animals and insects. You can rest inside tonight."

After replying to the message, Jiang Xinli glanced at the map on her brain. "We've only covered a third of the distance so far."

The boy smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Miss Xinli, no matter how difficult it is, I will protect you."

"Hmm." Jiang Xinli couldn't help but yawn.

Xueyin noticed her fatigue and said, "I'll go guard the cave entrance. You get some rest."

"Don't go!" Jiang Xinli instinctively grabbed his sleeve. "Why don't you sleep with me?"

The boy looked at her, raising his eyebrows. "Want to sleep together?"

Jiang Xinli realized her slip of the tongue and quickly explained, "I meant you should stay in the tent."

This tent isn't particularly wide, but it's not too narrow either.

"What if you attract mosquitoes if you go out?"

In addition, she was a little scared as it was her first time living in such an unfamiliar cave.

With him by her side, at least she felt a little more at ease.

The boy noticed her embarrassment and unease, and smiled.

He lowered his voice, "Okay. You go to sleep first?"

There was a cautious probing in his words.

"Hmm." Jiang Xinli deftly retracted the vines, took out a dagger and placed it beside her pillow, then lay down with her back to him, fully clothed.

Xueyin: "."

As expected, I shouldn't have tested them.

He silently withdrew his gaze and sat cross-legged in meditation.

It was both a way of being vigilant about the surroundings and a way of suppressing the surging desires in his heart.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The surroundings were silent, with only the girl's soft breathing remaining.

He turned to the side and gazed at her silently.

The girl's body was slightly curled up, outlining soft curves in the dim light.

Like some unsuspecting little animal, alluring without realizing it.

The boy's heart suddenly softened.

She really trusted him.

He hesitated for a moment, then gently lay down beside her.

Then, he reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.
