With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 394 Both Painful and Soft
Su Muyao was shocked by these words.

Her eyes widened suddenly.

Some people find it hard to believe, or rather, they haven't thought about it in that way.

Su Muyao looked at Wei Jinmo with a shocked expression, but when she met his gaze, she found that he looked extremely serious.

She was in a state of confusion, but she still managed to say, "I never intended to take in another beast husband. I'm sorry."

She's not in the mood for that right now.

The most important thing is to save Yue Wuhen.

Actually, she only took Yun Qinglan in later.

Her situation with Yun Qinglan was special; they had known each other since childhood and made a promise.

Wei Jinmo said in a low voice, "I never expect a response from you, I just want to do something for you where I can see you."

He was already very content that she could speak to him so calmly and was willing to sit and talk with him like this.

If it were before, he knew she might not have wanted to say a single word to him.

But now, he can still talk like this, something he never dared to imagine before.

Therefore, he dared not ask for anything more.

Su Muyao wanted to refuse, but considering his status, she couldn't bring herself to say no.

"You know, I want to get the Soul Gathering Lamp, and I might really have to trouble you this time."

"No trouble at all. It's my honor to get the Soul Gathering Lamp for you."

He would get her anything she wanted, no matter how difficult it was.

“You are the fifth prince of the Sea Clan royal family. There are other princes in the royal family. It must not be easy for you to produce the Soul Gathering Lamp.”

Wei Jinmo said softly, "It's alright, I have a way."

Wei Jinmo showed a relaxed expression, not wanting Su Muyao to overthink or worry.

Although she didn't ask about him, he still wanted to take the initiative to explain more. "My mother was the daughter of the Wei family, and my father was a prince of the sea tribe. Once, when we were at sea, my mother was rescued by my father, and they got together after that."

"It's just that my mother was the heir of the Wei family, and my father was later designated as the heir as well, so they could only bear their own responsibilities."

“However, I was already there when my mother returned to the family. My father would also come to the Wei family every year to accompany me, teach me, and bring me some things.”

“There was a huge pond in the backyard of the Wei family, which was filled with seawater so that I could adapt to life on land.”

In reality, he is a merman and cannot stray too far from the Wei family in Beast Emperor City.

But now that we've become stronger, this restriction no longer exists.

Moreover, with some magical artifacts from the sea creatures, he can stay on land for a longer period of time.

Su Muyao hadn't expected this; she had never known who Wei Jinmo's father was. She nodded and said, "I see."

"Is it true that apart from your parents and your clan, no one else knows that you are a merman?"

Merfolk are extremely noble beastmen of the sea race. If other beastmen on land knew Wei Jinmo's true form, they might do something to him or persecute him.

Moreover, it is said that mermaid tears are even more precious.

If they shed tears, pearls will fall from their eyes.

Wei Jinmo nodded and said, "Yes, only a few elders in the clan know, but the Empress and your father know what my true form is, and that my father is the Sea Emperor."

Su Muyao's expression shifted; her grandmother and father both knew Wei Jinmo's identity.

The system said, "Host, although the evil soul took a fancy to Wei Jinmo and insisted on marrying him when it possessed your body, the person who really made the decision was your father."

"Actually, this was originally an arranged marriage for you by your father."

"He is also your destined beast husband. He has a noble status and treats you well. Don't you want to consider it?"

Su Muyao felt a sour and heavy feeling in her heart; her emotions were too complicated.

She didn't actually want to hurt anyone, but unknowingly she still hurt some people.

Feeling guilty, she told the system the same thing as before, "I dare not think about anything else now, I just want to find the Soul Gathering Lamp to save Yue Wuhen as soon as possible."

"He hasn't been resurrected, so I have no mind to think about my own affairs." Even the system sighed; the timing of Wei Jinmo's exposure of his identity was far too unfortunate.

It's not exactly a coincidence, but it is also a coincidence, because this is precisely the time when they need the Soul Gathering Lamp.

They don't know much about the sea people, but now that Wei Jinmo is here, many things will be much easier.

Looking into Su Muyao's worried eyes, Wei Jinmo couldn't help but want to smooth her brow, but he knew he wasn't qualified.

His hand, which was placed at his side, curled up slightly.

He roughly guessed what she might be planning, so Wei Jinmo said softly, "Even if the soul is scattered, as long as there is a Soul Gathering Lamp, the soul can be gathered up little by little and reconstituted into a complete soul."

"However, it takes time to condense a complete soul."

This is the function of the Soul Gathering Lamp.

The fact that she was in such a hurry to use the Soul-Gathering Lamp means that someone important must have died.

Connecting this with some rumors from six months ago, Wei Jinmo was able to piece together some of the truth.

"Tonight, I will return to the Sea Clan, and I will personally deliver the Soul Gathering Lamp to you."

With that, Wei Jinmo got up and prepared to leave.

Su Muyao said, "I'll go too. Take me with you to the Sea Clan. This is something I have to do. I can't just do nothing myself and selfishly push it all onto you."

That would make her uneasy.

Su Muyao insisted, so Wei Jinmo had no choice but to take her with him to the Sea Clan.

Su Muyao said, "By the way, do you still have any Face-Changing Pearls? I'm not strong enough right now. If I become a merman, wouldn't it be easier for me to move around among the sea creatures and less likely to arouse suspicion?"

Wei Jinmo said, "There is also the Face-Changing Pearl, but using it will cause a lot of pain."

Su Muyao was taken aback, but replied without hesitation, "I'm not afraid of pain."

Wei Jinmo sighed inwardly, but still gave the Face-Changing Pearl to Su Muyao.

Su Muyao swallowed the Face-Changing Pearl without hesitation.

After swallowing it, some changes gradually occurred in the body.

But this process is really painful.

Her face turned pale, and cold sweat began to break out on her face.

Looking at Su Muyao like this, Wei Jinmo couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He took out a clean handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Su Muyao's forehead.

Su Muyao was in so much pain that she felt dizzy and weak, and she couldn't stand up, so she fell into Wei Jinmo's arms.

The moment Wei Jinmo hugged Su Muyao, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

But he still held her gently, carefully wiping her sweat, trying to transform his own power into gentle spiritual energy to enter her body and make her feel better.

Wei Jinmo knew that the face-changing pearl would be very painful, but Su Muyao was in so much pain that she was about to lose consciousness, yet she didn't make a sound.

His heart ached and softened at the same time. He looked at her with tender eyes and gently comforted her, "Miss Su, if you are in pain, just cry out."

"You don't have to be so strong. I'll protect you when we get to the bottom of the ocean, so don't worry..."

Wei Jinmo didn't know what to say. He just couldn't bear to see her in pain, and seeing her like this made him feel even worse.

So I could only say a few words to her.

Of course, he wouldn't lie to her this time; he would keep his word.

Listening to Wei Jinmo's voice, Su Muyao felt, for some reason, that the pain seemed to lessen and that she felt much better.

But her body, nestled in Wei Jinmo's arms, was still trembling slightly.

Su Muyao never expected that changing her face would really hurt.

It turns out that Wei Jinmo had been enduring this kind of pain all along.

For some reason, she found herself instinctively reaching out and gently hugging his waist.

Regarding Wei Jinmo, a lot of foreshadowing has been done earlier, including the revelation by a spy from the Xuanyuan clan who used the Face-Changing Pearl to gradually reveal his identity. Some readers have commented that the female lead's relationship with her beast husband progressed too quickly, wanting more details about their interactions. Others prefer a faster pace rather than heartwarming romance. Everyone has different tastes, and it's impossible to please everyone. For example, with Wei Jinmo, directly having him find the Soul-Gathering Lamp and reveal his true identity would be too abrupt. I really don't want to explain every single plot point; it's too tiring. I actually put a lot of effort into writing each chapter. I might sit in front of the computer for several hours to write a single chapter, and then have to revise and edit it repeatedly. Here, I want to thank again all the lovely readers who like, support, encourage, and give me votes and rewards. Thank you!
