Chapter 396 Silent Dedication
Listening to the system's words and watching Wei Jinmo's fighting figure, Su Muyao felt a strange feeling welling up in her heart.

She probably suddenly realized that Wei Jinmo was also having a tough time.

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

The lead assassin swung a black chain, its tip barbed, aiming straight for his throat, while the others surrounded him.

Wei Jinmo's pale blue water-based supernatural power surged instantly. "Who sent you?"

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

They would never reveal their origins; they were secret guards, and they were obligated to kill Wei Jinmo, even at the cost of their lives.

Wei Jinmo returned to the Sea Clan because he needed to use some of their treasures and magical artifacts to change his form and appear beside Su Muyao.

Otherwise, he would never have been able to come to her side as Nightshade.

Therefore, even if it means getting caught up in the sea creatures' conflicts, he is willing to do so.

The lead assassin swiftly dragged the chain, which seemed capable of devouring supernatural abilities. When the blue light struck the chain, its radiance dimmed considerably.

"If you want to kill me, you'll have to see if you have the ability." Wei Jinmo had somehow produced a long sword to block the chains, and at the same time, he gathered his supernatural power, causing the surrounding seawater to form a rapidly spinning water blade.

"Fifth Prince, this is a magical artifact specifically designed to suppress supernatural abilities. Your resistance and counterattack are futile."

Wei Jinmo did not use his true strength; he was merely testing their moves and the various weapons they used.

After testing the waters, Wei Jinmo swiftly unleashed her hidden weapon, accompanied by a series of clanging sounds.

The chains in the lead assassin's hand snapped instantly.

Before his incredulous eyes, the seawater blade that Wei Jinmo had already conjured struck him directly.

"what……"

The lead assassin was thrown back with a heavy impact.

"You didn't even use your true strength just now!"

The power of Wei Jinmo's moves just now turned their faces pale.

Wei Jinmo said calmly, "I have indeed never revealed my true strength within the Sea Clan."

"That's how we lured you out. It was the Second Prince who sent you."

When Wei Jinmo said this, she used an affirmative tone.

There was no kinship among the princes of the sea tribe. In particular, he did not grow up in the sea tribe, so he would not call his second brother, but would directly call him the Second Prince.

The assassin cried out in alarm, "No, it's not!"

They hadn't revealed any information about the Second Prince at all, so how did he know?

Wei Jinmo had obtained the information she wanted, and the whirlpool spun even faster, annihilating all the assassins within it.

After dealing with these people, Wei Jinmo landed back next to Su Muyao and said in a soft voice, "Are you alright? I'm sorry they disturbed you."

When facing Su Muyao, Wei Jinmo suppressed his fierce aura, afraid that Su Muyao would feel uncomfortable.

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "I'm fine. It's their fault. Don't feel sorry for everything."

As she spoke, Su Muyao took Wei Jinmo's hand again and transferred her wood-type ability to him through her palm.

Wei Jinmo sensed that Su Muyao was using her wood-based supernatural abilities to regulate her aura and mental energy, which touched her heart.

She was so wonderful; he had never seen such a wonderful female.

No wonder Wen Nanxi and the others fell in love with her after they went to her place of exile, even loving her more than their own lives.

Having truly been in contact with her, he naturally found himself increasingly attracted to her.

Moreover, the aura and spiritual energy emanating from her were so pure and beautiful that they drew people's spiritual energy involuntarily to her.

"All right."

"Unfortunately, I am currently too weak to be of any help to you."

Su Muyao only has level 10 superpowers now, and she can't use talismans at all while underwater, so she feels like she can't help at all.

"You don't need to do anything, protecting you is my job." He said he would protect her, and he would naturally protect her and not let her be in danger.

"Will you encounter many dangers while living among the sea creatures?"

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

Su Muyao thought that with the Sea Emperor's abilities, he could control the power of the entire sea, so there shouldn't be anything that could be hidden from him, right?
Wei Jinmo explained, "Actually, females are precious among the sea tribes. When Father was a prince, he had several older sisters, but they died in the struggle, and in the end, Father ascended to the throne."

“When my father was a prince, he had several female companions, and each of them had a powerful clan behind them.”

“Only my mother came from the land and did not participate in the struggles of the sea tribes. I was only required to inherit the Wei family, while the heirs of the sea tribes were chosen from among the other princes.”

"Perhaps that's why, since it doesn't involve the interests of any parties, my father favors me a bit, and he often comes to the Wei family to see me."

"However, my final choice to return to the Sea Clan disrupted the previous balance among the princes. Moreover, because I awakened my blue eyes, which are a symbol of the power of the sea, my father wanted to make me the crown prince. So the other princes probably wouldn't be happy about it. Even if they don't fight for it, their family forces will fight for the position."

As a result, assassins came to kill him one after another.

"The more Father protects me at this time, the more he will anger other families. So it's best for me to handle some things myself and not make a scene."

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

Wei Jinmo wanted to return to the Sea Clan, but she knew that only the Sea Clan had the ability to change people's physical form.

Moreover, some things can only be obtained by returning to the sea tribe.

The system seemed to have noticed something and said, "Host, I have a feeling that Wei Jinmo returned to the Sea Clan for your sake."

"Think about it, he can only get the Face-Changing Pearl and change his form by returning to the Sea Clan. Moreover, the Sea Clan has some magical artifacts that can help him find you."

"So the moment you appeared on the Azure Beast Continent, he appeared right in front of you."

Hearing the system's explanation, Su Muyao blinked and asked, "Is it for me?"

Wei Jinmo didn't want to burden Su Muyao in any way, so he said, "Don't overthink it, I'm doing this for my own selfish reasons."

His selfish desire was to love her, to be by her side, and to see her.

As Su Muyao listened to Wei Jinmo say these things, he put it very simply, but Su Muyao knew that there must be a lot involved behind the scenes.

It must have been very difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

"So last night, that man in black from the whale tribe said that his sister's engagement to you was actually a powerful force chosen by your father to help you ascend the throne, right?"

Arranging a marriage between Wei Jinmo and a female member of the whale clan would essentially give Wei Jinmo the added support of his wife's clan.

In that case, it wouldn't be so difficult for Wei Jinmo to be named Crown Prince and eventually become the Sea Emperor.

This whale clan must wield considerable power within the sea race.

Wei Jinmo knew that Su Muyao was very intelligent, but she didn't expect that Su Muyao would analyze these things on her own.

“I will not agree to these things. I can no longer accept anyone in my heart, and I will not have any relationship with any female. I am not like my father.”

Even if it's just for show, he wouldn't.

He just wanted to stay with the people he loved.

The system seemed somewhat moved. "Host, he's explaining things to you."

"Objectively speaking, Wei Jinmo is indeed very good. He has done a lot quietly. If it weren't for that whale clan member who appeared last night, we would never have known what choice he made for you."

“Normally, being the heir of the Wei family would be great. There would be no fighting, he could make his own decisions, and the Wei family would be very powerful. But in the Sea Clan, there would be constant intrigue and assassinations. Even if he eventually became the Sea Emperor, he would still have to deal with many things and balance many forces. Even so, he did not choose any female to support his power.”

Su Muyao understood what the system meant. She sighed inwardly and continued to ask, "Don't the other princes have your azure eyes?"

Wei Jinmo shook her head and said, "No, neither did Father. It is said that the ancestor of the Merfolk had such eyes. He awakened the power of the Sea God, which is why he was able to unify the sea and become the Sea Emperor."

Su Muyao knew what he had given up for her; he had given up so much.

She felt a heavy weight in her heart. She looked up at Wei Jinmo and said, "Wei Jinmo, I will help you."

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

This is what she truly thinks at this moment.
