Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 397 - 396: Silent Dedication

Listening to the system’s words and watching Wei Jinmo’s fighting figure, a strange feeling surged in Su Muyao’s heart.

She suddenly felt that Wei Jinmo was also enduring a lot.

Moreover, she could see that those assassins were particularly ruthless.

The leading assassin flung out a black lock chain, its barbed tip aimed straight for his throat, while the others closed in on him.

The light blue Water Ability around Wei Jinmo surged instantly, "Who sent you?"

"Fifth Prince, you can only blame yourself for returning to the Sea Clan."

They would not reveal their origins; they were Hidden Guards who must kill Wei Jinmo, even if it meant dying in the process.

Wei Jinmo returned to the Sea Clan to borrow some of the clan’s treasure Magic Artifacts, allowing him to transform his appearance and appear beside Su Muyao.

Otherwise, he could never have come to her as Ye Ying.

Even if it meant getting caught in the Sea Clan’s struggle, he was willing to do so.

The leading assassin swiftly dragged the lock chain, which seemed to be able to devour abilities; the blue light crashing against the chain dimmed significantly.

"You need to see if you have the ability to kill me." Wei Jinmo had a long sword in his hand at some point to block the lock chain, while simultaneously gathering abilities to draw the surrounding seawater into rapidly rotating water blades.

"Fifth Prince, this is a Magic Artifact specifically designed to restrain abilities, your resistance is futile."

Wei Jinmo did not reveal his true strength; he was merely probing their techniques and weapons.

After completing the probe, the hidden weapon in Wei Jinmo’s hand quickly struck, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.

The lock chain in the leading assassin’s hand instantly broke.

In disbelief, the water blade Wei Jinmo had long since gathered struck him directly.

"Ah..."

The leading assassin was heavily hit and blown away.

"You hadn’t even shown your true strength just now!"

Wei Jinmo’s previous moves had turned their faces pale.

Wei Jinmo said coolly, "I’ve indeed never revealed my real strength within the Sea Clan."

"Only then could I draw you out; it was the Second Prince who sent you."

Wei Jinmo said this with an affirmative tone.

Between the Sea Clan’s princes, there was no real familial bond, especially as he had grown up outside the Sea Clan, so he didn’t call him second brother, but rather Second Prince.

In a panic, the assassin protested, "No, it’s not."

They had never leaked any information about the Second Prince, so how did he know?

Wei Jinmo had gotten the information he wanted, and the swirling vortex of seawater sped up, crushing the assassins.

After resolving these people, Wei Jinmo returned to Su Muyao’s side, lowering his voice, "Are you okay? Sorry for the disturbance."

Faced with Su Muyao, Wei Jinmo restrained his sharp aura, fearing she might feel uncomfortable.

Su Muyao shook her head, saying, "I’m fine, it’s their fault, you don’t have to apologize for everything."

Saying this, Su Muyao raised Wei Jinmo’s hand, conveying the Wood Element Ability through her palm.

Wei Jinmo felt Su Muyao using Wood Element Ability to adjust his breath and spiritual power, and was moved.

She was truly wonderful, he had never met such a remarkable female.

No wonder Wen Nanxi and the others fell in love with her after following her to Exile Land, even loving her more than their own lives.

He, having truly interacted with her, naturally found himself increasingly captivated.

Moreover, her aura and spiritual power were so pure and beautiful, unconsciously drawing the spiritual power within people closer to her.

"It’s done."

"Unfortunately, I’m still weak and can’t help you much."

Su Muyao now only had a Level 10 Superpower, and underwater she couldn’t use talisman paper, so she felt she couldn’t help much.

"You don’t need to do anything, protecting you is my duty."

He had said he would protect her well, and certainly would, not allowing her to encounter danger.

"Living in the Sea Clan, do you face a lot of danger?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Doesn’t your father care about these things?"

Su Muyao thought with the Sea Emperor’s ability to control the entire power of the sea, nothing should be hidden from him?

Wei Jinmo explained, "Actually, female members of the Sea Clan are precious. When Father was a prince, he had several sisters, but they died in struggles, leaving him to ascend to that position."

"As a prince, Father had several female companions, all backed by strong clan forces."

"Only my mother came from the land, not involved in Sea Clan struggles, and I was originally meant to inherit the Wei Family, with the Sea Clan inheritors selected from other princes."

"Because of this, not being involved in the interests of various factions, Father favored me somewhat, often visiting the Wei Family to see me."

"However, I ultimately chose to return to the Sea Clan, disrupting the previous balance among the princes, and because I awakened the blue eyes, these cerulean eyes symbolizing ocean power, Father wanted to proclaim me Crown Prince, which displeased the other princes who, if not fighting, had their familial forces vying for the position."

This led to an endless stream of Hidden Guards coming to assassinate him.

"The more Father protects me at this point, the more it stirs other clan forces, so some issues are best handled by me personally, without bringing it to light."

Su Muyao couldn’t help but ask, "Why did you suddenly choose to return to the Sea Clan?"

When Wei Jinmo returned to the Sea Clan, he only knew that it was the only way to change one’s form.

And certain things could only be obtained by rejoining the Sea Clan.

The system seemed to sense something, saying, "Host, I feel as if Wei Jinmo returned to the Sea Clan for you."

"Think about it, he could only obtain the Face Changing Pearl by returning to the Sea Clan, allowing for transformation, and the Sea Clan has certain Magic Artifacts that could help find you."

"So when you appeared on the Cang Beast Continent, he appeared before you."

Listening to this explanation, Su Muyao blinked, asking, "Was it for me?"

Wei Jinmo did not wish to burden Su Muyao in any way, so he said, "Don’t overthink, it was for my own selfish reasons."

His selfish reason was wanting to love her, to be by her side, to see her.

As Wei Jinmo talked about these things, he said it simply, but Su Muyao knew there was a lot behind it.

He must have faced immense difficulty being caught between all of it.

"So last night, the black-clad person from the Whale Clan talking about his sister’s engagement to you was actually your father selecting a backing force for you to ascend, right?"

Having Wei Jinmo marry a female from the Whale Clan would provide immediate support from her family’s power.

This way, when Wei Jinmo becomes Crown Prince, eventually reaching the Sea Emperor position, it wouldn’t be as difficult.

The Whale Clan’s strength within the Sea Clan must be quite formidable.

Wei Jinmo knew Su Muyao was very smart, never expecting her to analyze all this on her own.

"I won’t agree to any of that; my heart can’t hold anyone else, nor will I be linked to any female; unlike Father."

Even if it was merely play, he wouldn’t do it.

He only wished to guard the one he loved.

The system was slightly touched, "Host, he’s explaining things to you."

"Objectively speaking, Wei Jinmo is quite admirable; he’s silently done a lot. If not for the appearance of someone from the Whale Clan last night, we wouldn’t have known the choices he’s made for you."

"Normally, being the Wei Family heir is far better, no conflicts, his command, the Wei Family powerful, going to the Sea Clan means endless intrigue and assassinations. Even if he eventually becomes Sea Emperor, he’ll still have many issues to resolve and forces to balance, yet never chooses any female for backing."

Su Muyao understood the system’s words, sighed inwardly, and continued asking, "Your blue eyes, do other princes have them?"

Wei Jinmo shook his head, "No, neither does Father. It is said that the ancestor of the Merfolk Clan possessed these eyes, and he awakened the Sea God Power, unifying the seas and becoming the Sea Emperor."

Su Muyao knew what he gave up for her, a multitude of sacrifices.

Her heart felt heavy as she looked up at Wei Jinmo and said, "Wei Jinmo, I will help you."

She wanted to be the force behind him, to support him.

That was her genuine thought at this moment.
