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

Chapter 686: Not Imprisonment, But His Love and Tenderness?!

“I am a god, but I am not omnipotent,” Jin Yuan explained calmly. “Therefore, I am not lying to you.”

"The reason for holding a wedding ceremony with me and then forming a bond with me is to break the seal and make you remember everything."

Jiang Xinli took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions within her:

"Okay, even if what you're saying is true, what about my parents?"

"We'll let you see him when we get back from that planet." His fingers, which had been caressing her lips, paused, and his tone became more resolute.
"This is my final bottom line and condition."

Jiang Xinli glanced around, a cold smile playing on her lips. "If I don't agree, will you continue to imprison me here?"

“It’s not imprisonment.” His deep blue vertical pupils fell on her rosy lips. “These past few days, I haven’t been intentionally keeping you locked up here.”

"I'm just afraid—" His eyelashes drooped, and his deep voice softened slightly.
“If you feel this is imprisonment, then from now on you are free to walk around as you please.”

"However, if you accidentally encounter something at night, don't be afraid."

You are absolutely safe wherever I am.

He cupped her face in his palms, gazing at her with deep eyes, "Did you remember?"

Jiang Xinli turned her head away, avoiding His gaze.

Therefore, they missed the fleeting glint of darkness in the young deity's eyes.

After saying all this to her, Jin Yuan got up and left.

He opened the door lock as promised.

After dinner, Jiang Xinli stayed in the garden for a while.

As the light of the starry sky above the dome dimmed, she went outside.

Following the route that Jin Yuan had taken with her, she quickly found the spacious and empty hall.

However, the magnificent palace gates remained tightly closed.

Fourteen divine beast sculptures, shrouded in a shimmering barrier, could be faintly seen.

She walked to the doorway, glanced around cautiously, and then released the dodder vines from her fingertips.

The vines, as thin as cicada wings, slipped through the crack in the door.

Before it could spread even a meter, it was blocked by a high-level barrier.

Jiang Xinli tried, but couldn't pierce it.

She stood there, and after several failed attempts, she had no choice but to give up.

[Pear! ]
Just as he turned around, a gentle yet anxious voice called out from inside the hall.

She paused slightly, turned around, and glanced warily around.

[Pear! ]
Another soft call.

"Who?" She frowned.

The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

But it didn't sound like it was ringing in my ear.

It's more like a heartfelt sentiment, echoing in my heart and mind.

She thought for a moment, then tried asking in her mind:

[Who are you?]
[Are they guards of the temple's guardian deities?]
The surroundings were completely silent.

It was as if those two soft calls from before were just her hallucinations.

Just then, several crackling sounds of electricity and the sound of whips striking flesh came intermittently from some corner.

Jiang Xinli listened intently for a while and realized something was wrong.

It looked as if someone was being severely tortured.

Could there be other people here?!
She immediately became excited.

With other people around, perhaps we can learn more about Jin Yuan.

Even with these thoughts in mind, she did not let her guard down.

After confirming the direction, she walked quickly toward the source of the sound.

The sound grew closer, and Jiang Xinli stopped in front of a palace covered with runes.

Unlike the rose-colored runes elsewhere, the runes here are black.

The electric shocks and whipping sounds came from inside.

She held her breath and reached out to grasp the doorknob.

The door was easily pushed open.

She didn't go in immediately, but stood at the door and carefully observed for a moment.

It was a room with carved dragons and painted beams, but with a cold and oppressive atmosphere.

There were no flowing stars on the dome, but a deep, dark expanse, like an abyss that could swallow everything.

The surrounding walls are inlaid with lifelike black pterosaur sculptures, exuding a fierce and imposing aura.

A spiral staircase leading downwards appears at the end of the room.

"Fuck!"

"Snapped!"

The sounds of electricity and whipping echoed from below.

Jiang Xinli's heart raced, and she whispered, "Jinyuan?"

There was no response from those around.

She pondered for a moment.

Logically speaking, since Jin Yuan is a deity, she should have appeared after "strolling" here for so long.

But He did not.

Could it be that He deliberately allowed it?

After all, whatever she does, He should know it all.

Since He didn't appear, and there's no barrier here, could it be that He deliberately let her see Him?
Was he trying to warn her about something?

With that thought in mind, she took a deep breath and stepped into the room.

The temperature inside was very low, and the hairs on her body stood on end instantly.

As soon as I reached the top of the spiral staircase, a strong, pungent smell of blood and burnt flesh hit me.

Jiang Xinli frowned, glanced around, and continued walking down.

At the end of the stairs was a dark and deep corridor.

"Fuck!"

"Snapped!"

The sounds of electricity and whipping grew clearer.

The smell of blood and burnt meat grew stronger.

She even heard a painful gasp.

My clenched palms were covered in cold sweat, and a chill ran down my spine.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xinli summoned the scarlet dodder vines to protect herself before continuing to walk in.

The corridor gradually widened.

A massive, jet-black figure with outstretched wings and a long tail appeared at the edge of the field of vision.

It was bound by dense, spiked black chains, suspended in the star-filled sky, its head drooping limply.

Countless fist-sized planets, engulfed in raging flames, appeared behind the shadowy figure.

Clusters of intensely hot flames shot from those planets straight at that black figure.

In the void, streaks of wind and lightning, sharp as blades, relentlessly slashed at the black figure.

"Drip—" Large drops of blood fell rapidly from the black figure.

Jiang Xinli held her breath and took another step closer inside.

The next second, her breath hitched, and her eyes widened instantly.

The black figure suspended in mid-air, being tortured, was none other than Jin Yuan!

He reverted to his beast form.

His pale skin was covered with scars: flesh and blood exposing white bones, and no part of his skin was intact, charred by flames.

The wind blades cut into His flesh with razor-sharp sharpness, and blood gathered together like a stream, flowing down in a rush.

The ground was covered with a large pool of dark red blood.

The whole scene was shocking.

She tentatively called out, "Jinyuan?"

Her voice was very soft, but the air around her seemed to sense her presence.

The flames, wind blades, and lightning suddenly stopped.

The young deity, covered in blood, slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, His eyes were bloodshot.

Upon recognizing her, His pupils slowly returned to their deep red.

He was weak and asked in a low voice, "Why have you come?"

Jiang Xinli pursed her lips and stepped forward.

"How is this going?"

“Punishment.” He paused. “There will be seven punishments each month, and this is the last one this month.”

"But aren't you a god?"

"I have said that the universe has its own laws, and even gods cannot interfere with them at will."

Jiang Xinli's heart sank. She subconsciously reached for her medicine, only to realize that she had nothing on her.

Seemingly sensing a hint of worry in her eyes, His dark red vertical pupils slowly turned into a gentle orange.

"Did I scare you?" He asked in a low voice.

Jiang Xinli nodded, "A little."

His face was calm, but his tone carried a hint of regret, "I shouldn't have released the protective barrier around your house."

"So, these past few days, you—" Jiang Xinli was taken aback.

He kept her locked up for seven days.

And He was to undergo a seven-day punishment.

Is it a coincidence, or is it?

"Yes." The young deity looked at her quietly. "Go back first, okay?"

He raised his hand, wanting to ruffle her hair, only to find it tightly bound by barbed chains.

As He struggled, the chains clanged, and more blood oozed from the sharp iron hooks embedded in His skin.

"I'll be done in a little while," He whispered, enduring the excruciating pain.
"Don't worry, I won't keep you locked up anymore once today's punishment is over."

Jiang Xinli fell silent.

Therefore, He imprisoned her these past few days not because He was angry.

Rather, it was because He was being punished and was afraid of frightening her.

She looked up at Him.

The young deity's orange eyes reflected her complex expression. "Then you—"

"Be good, go back first." His voice was deep, and his tone was gentler than ever before.

I'll come see you later.
