Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 409 - 408: Symbol of Auspice

The Sea Emperor looked at the High Priest and asked worriedly, "High Priest, is there a problem?"

The High Priest gazed at Su Muyao, slowly stepping closer, revealing the crystal-clear ring in his hand that emitted a pure blue light.

The High Priest spoke, "There is no problem."

"I merely sensed that Miss Su is a blessed star for the Merfolk Clan and the Sea Clan, symbolizing auspiciousness."

The Sea Emperor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing there was no problem.

Wei Jinmo had been protecting Su Muyao closely from the beginning.

He did not understand the High Priest but knew the High Priest would never harm the Sea Clan.

He embodied the will of the Sea God, yet even so, his mind was tense.

Hearing these words, he felt relieved.

Thus, it indicated the High Priest would not harm Muyao in any way.

The Sea Emperor immediately stated his purpose for coming, and the High Priest expressed understanding.

"In that case, come with me to the altar."

Now that Wei Jinmo had obtained the Sea God’s approval, whatever he wished to do, as High Priest, it was his duty to assist.

He himself was also a manifestation of the Sea God’s will.

The Sea Emperor guarded outside while the High Priest led Su Muyao and Wei Jinmo through the corridor into the inner altar.

The altar hall was surrounded by a multitude of beads, all emitting a blue glow, creating a space reminiscent of a deep-sea realm.

The central altar was constructed with thousand-year-old sea jade, and a jade plate floated above.

The High Priest spoke, "Place the Soul Gathering Lamp on it."

Su Muyao retrieved the Soul Gathering Lamp from space and walked up to place it in the center of the jade plate.

At this moment, the Soul Gathering Lamp was devoid of any light.

The High Priest asked, "Whose soul do you wish to gather?"

Su Muyao knew she shouldn’t hide it now, and she spoke in a low voice, "It’s for my Beast Husband, named Yue Wuhen, originally from the Southern Border Moon Clan of the Mortal Beast Continent, yet possesses Witch Clan blood..."

Su Muyao shared information about Yue Wuhen.

But while speaking, Su Muyao realized she knew very little about Yue Wuhen.

A sense of pain and guilt welled up within her heart.

She hadn’t truly done anything for Yue Wuhen, nor did she know his true feelings for her.

Yet, upon knowing he sacrificed himself to save her life, she realized his love for her.

She only realized those things with the flash of memories after her resurrection.

Thinking of Yue Wuhen, Su Muyao’s eyes glistened with redness.

The High Priest continued asking, "Why was he shattered? Do tell in detail, as to ignite the Soul Gathering Lamp, I need more understanding."

Su Muyao clenched her hands tightly, her nails seemingly digging into her flesh. She took a deep breath and trembled, "It was when the Soul Destruction Nail pierced through my body, killing me, that he appeared, using the Witch Clan altar, sacrificing blood, flesh, and divine soul to revive me, causing his own soul to scatter."

Having said this, Su Muyao covered her face with her hands, her heart ailing with guilt, tears gleaming in her eyes but suppressed fiercely.

She could not cry, could not show weakness.

But recalling the moment when Yue Wuhen sacrificed himself, she was pained.

Her entire body trembled.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jinmo was shocked, feeling as if his heart was pierced with endless needles, a dense pain spreading, his heart feeling crushed by a boulder, leaving him breathless.

Wei Jinmo’s eyes reddened instantly; he stepped forward, gently embracing Su Muyao, yearning to console her, yet knowing his presence was absent during her darkest time.

Moreover, Yue Wuhen, who rescued her, died.

He understood no words could alleviate the pain.

Eventually, he merely stroked her hair gently, like soothing her past pains, whispering shakily, "I’m sorry I wasn’t by your side then." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Yue Wuhen will be revived, as long as the Soul Gathering Lamp can gather a soul, he can live again. I will help you revive him."

At this moment, Wei Jinmo’s azure eyes seemed bloodstained, his heart sliced with sorrow, wishing he could bear it all for her.

He leaned down, gently kissing her forehead, this kiss filled with his affection and heartache, along with his solemn promise.

This matter was something Su Muyao initially did not wish to tell anyone.

But the High Priest asked, leaving her no choice but to speak.

Her guilt was because she felt foolish at that time, having trusted that primary body.

Perhaps also because she never suspected Wen Nanxi, nor knew of the existence of a primary body and doppelganger.

"It’s alright, as long as he can be revived."

"Don’t blame yourself; without your efforts, without you acquiring the Soul Gathering Lamp, I would have been helpless."

After experiencing this in the Sea Clan, Su Muyao realized acquiring the Soul Gathering Lamp was no easy task.

Were it not for Wei Jinmo’s help, were it not for him becoming the Sea Clan Crown Prince, she might not have even touched the Soul Gathering Lamp, let alone used it.

"Don’t say that. It’s my honor to do anything for you."

Unless for the Soul Gathering Lamp, she wouldn’t be in front of him, nor would they be bound by contract, making him belong to her, becoming her wife.

Wei Jinmo felt that after binding the contract, his love for her deepened profoundly; just gazing at her filled his heart with overflowing affection.

Su Muyao quickly adjusted her emotions, stepping away from Wei Jinmo’s embrace, bowing solemnly to the High Priest, "High Priest, I beseech you."

The High Priest explained, "The Soul Gathering Lamp is a Magic Artifact from the era of the gods; as long as there’s a remnant soul in this world, it can be gathered, just a matter of time sooner or later."

"However, Miss Su is an Immortal Phoenix Beastman; not only did he revive you but also helped you rebirth into an Immortal Phoenix, and it was a Witch Clan sacrifice, making the situation less optimistic."

Su Muyao’s face paled upon hearing this, "High Priest, I beg you to save him. I’m willing to pay any price."

The High Priest sighed, "I’ll try."

"Is there anything he left behind?"

Su Muyao nodded, taking out a Silver Bell, "This is something he used to wear."

After waking up in the Secret Realm, this bell was with her, and she remembered it belonged to Yue Wuhen.

She kept it in space, occasionally taking it out as a memento.

After receiving the Silver Bell, the High Priest spun it while raising the exclusive Priest’s Staff.

The staff’s body was dark blue, like the currents of the deep sea.

The top of the staff was embedded with a large blue jewel, reminiscent of a crystal.

At this moment, with incantations from the High Priest, the jewel atop started to rotate, seemingly able to draw upon the ocean’s power.

Su Muyao watched from the side, noticing the High Priest’s Staff was extremely mysterious.

Her heart was tense, fearing any problem during the ritual.

The High Priest’s initial words were strange, seemingly carrying an enigmatic power.

Su Muyao felt like they were ancient terminologies.

After a while, his voice resonated in the silent hall, "Guide with the Sea Spirit, soul return, guard its body, Soul Gathering Lamp ignite..."
