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

Chapter 696 Fiancée, Long Time No See!

Seeing that Jiang Xinli finally agreed, the young deity's heart softened completely.

He pulled her tightly into his arms.

Jin Yuan had waited a full thousand years for that one "good".

Even if the way you obtained it wasn't exactly honorable.

But then he thought of Sheng Tianze and the others, who were still trapped in the trial illusion in the main hall, relying on their love for Jiang Xinli and their perseverance to hold on, and Yu Hanche, the one who had slipped through the net outside.
His eyes darkened.

Everything is proceeding step by step according to His plan.

These few people are the only variable.

But there were restrictions she had set up in that trial illusion, so He couldn't interfere at all.

But this time, He will not let anyone take her away again.

The girl in his arms saw him frown and gently rubbed his brow.

"A-Yuan, what are you thinking about?"

The young deity snapped out of his reverie, took her hand, and kissed it on the lips: "Thinking about our wedding."

Her gentleness at this moment only intensified His hatred and jealousy towards those males to the extreme.

He wished she could always treat him like that.

"Our wedding will be the grandest in the entire galaxy." He paused, a dark glint flashing in his deep eyes:

"When the time comes, I will have the entire galaxy witness your ascension to godhood."

Jiang Xinli was stunned. "Witnessed by the entire interstellar space?"

How can I witness this?

Is it broadcast live from Tianmu?
Or something else?

She didn't understand. "Didn't you say that the true face of a deity should not be seen by mortals?"

He gently flicked her nose and smiled, "You'll find out when the time comes."

She snuggled closer to Him, saying, "Tell me~"

"It's a secret." He smirked, deliberately remaining silent.

She was still thinking of asking more questions when He had already led her back to her room.

He pinned her down and kissed her deeply for a long time before supporting himself on one hand beside her and holding her waist tightly with the other, just quietly watching her.

Those usually calm and even eyes were now churning with an undercurrent that Jiang Xinli had never seen before.

Gradually, that gaze grew more and more intense.

During this time, although the two shared a bed, they only kissed and hugged.

He did not do anything out of line.

But at this moment, after she accepted the proposal.

Seeing that look in His eyes, she immediately understood.

She swallowed hard, and just as she was about to speak, He lowered his head and kissed her earlobe.

His hot breath sprayed onto her neck.

The hand that was around her waist also slipped gently under the hem of her clothes.

Her body stiffened. "A-Yuan."

He stopped moving, his breathing a little heavy. "What's wrong?"

"I," she pursed her lips, "I'm not ready yet."

“Besides,” her face flushed, “isn’t the contract ceremony supposed to be held after marriage?”

She had never dared to ask what the contractual agreement actually meant.

But she guessed it was probably related to doing that kind of thing.

His Adam's apple bobbed. "The Pact also does these things, but that is the final sacred ritual that represents a complete bond from soul to existence."

"After that, we belonged only to each other."

"Then when we get married?" she whispered.

“We once had each other.” His voice was low, with an alluring huskiness.
"It's just that so much time has passed, and you've forgotten."

He kissed her lips. "I want to help you remember some things before the wedding."

"Can we wait two days?" she asked softly.

He was silent for a moment, then his fingers curled slightly as he pulled them back from under her clothes. "Okay."

Until then, I will respect you.

In the following days, the young deity stopped spending all his time with her.

He's rarely seen during the day, and he comes home very late at night.

He said that he was preparing for the wedding and ceremony.

Jiang Xinli wanted to ask for clarification, but was always stopped by "Leave it to me."

After counting the days, she guessed that it was time for Him to be "punished" again each month.

With that thought in mind, she left the room. Only then did she realize that the palace, which had been cold and dimly lit, was now much brighter.

There were also more people moving around.

She vaguely remembered Jin Yuan saying: These are all His former believers and followers, called "Holy Attendants".

They are not gods, but male orcs who were granted immortality and powerful abilities by Him.

They are only entitled to return to Him when He needs them.

She had seen a bat-like beastman in the distance, as well as a majestic shark-like beastman with half-white and half-gray hair, who looked somewhat familiar.

However, every time Jiang Xinli encountered them, they would automatically disappear before she even got close.

Jiang Xinli wandered around the palace for a long time, and also went to the room where Jin Yuan was punished last time.

But this time, it was quiet inside; there wasn't a sound at all.

She turned and walked back.

As I walked to the end of the corridor, a faint, somewhat familiar scent of lemongrass wafted out from a small room in the corner.

Upon smelling the fragrance, a noble and handsome knight's image suddenly flashed through her mind.

Could it be that the young man was also a holy servant of Jin Yuan?
But why do I remember him in particular?

She pushed open the slightly ajar door.

In the dim crack of the door lay a seashell, about the size of a thumb, gleaming with a glacial blue light.

Remembering the seashells and pearls inlaid on the knight's sword, she frowned and walked over cautiously.

A tendril of dodder flower sprouted from my fingertips; the moment it touched the seashell, the shell vanished, turning into a line of small characters:
[My fiancée, it's been a long time.]

Her heart skipped a beat.

"fiancée".
The young man seemed to have said that word to her.

Even some intimate and entangled memories from within her body surfaced.

"Who?" she asked softly.

The room was quiet.

"despair--"

Another seashell appeared in front of her.

The vine touched it again, and a new line of small text appeared:
Don't worry, I'll find a chance to help you.

The words vanished into mist the instant she finished reading them.

Jiang Xinli was stunned.

What do you mean by helping her?
Is she in danger?
"Are you there?" she asked in a low voice.

Still no one answered.

She waited there for a long time, but there was no further movement from inside the house, as if everything that had just happened was just her hallucination.

Jiang Xinli carefully looked around the room and left after confirming that everything was alright.

Filled with questions, she wandered aimlessly through the empty palace.

She then realized that the place was much bigger than she had imagined.

Many spaces have been folded and hidden.

What looks like a corridor may very well conceal a magnificent palace at its end.

Jiang Xinli suddenly smelled a faint scent of ambergris.

"A Yuan?"

She stopped and turned into the wide passageway she had never walked down before.

The passageway floor resembled a flowing galaxy, both dazzling and profound.

The entrance was protected by a high-level barrier, but it opened automatically as soon as it sensed her presence.

At the end of the barrier, a palace appeared with walls engraved with ancient runes.

The dome is so high that you can't see the top at all.

Countless dark vortexes spun silently above.

The center of each vortex seems to lead to nothingness.

Just a few glances are enough to make you dizzy and feel like your soul is being ripped away and sucked away.

The runes on the wall gleamed with a dark and dangerous light in the shadows of the swirling vortex.

Jiang Xinli stopped and hesitated for a moment, but continued walking forward.

We arrived at the enormous palace gate.

She took a breath and slowly pushed open the heavy door.
