Chapter 397 The Power of the Sea God
At this moment, Su Muyao looked up at Wei Jinmo, her eyes pure and clear, as if they contained two pools of blue water, full of tenderness.

At that moment, when Wei Jinmo heard those words and met her gaze, the emotions he had been holding back surged up uncontrollably, carrying a surging tide of passion that made his heart burn.

A subtle, lingering joy welled up within him.

He never imagined he would receive such a response from her.

Even if there's nothing else, the fact that she said she would help him doesn't necessarily mean that she cares about him a little.

He was thrilled even by the slightest thing he cared about.

This is very, very important to him.

"Miss Su, your happiness is the most important thing to me."

He wouldn't drag her into this vortex of power, and he wouldn't put her in the slightest danger.

He brought her back this time because of the Soul-Gathering Lamp.

"I would be happy to help you if I could."

"If you need any help, just tell me."

She wanted to help him.

She was willing to repay even the smallest kindness from others many times over, let alone all that Wei Jinmo had done for her.

Wei Jinmo said gently, "Okay, I'll let you know if you need anything."

Although he said that, all Wei Jinmo needed was for her to be by his side, and for her to allow him to treat her well and take care of her.

That's all.

But he didn't say that he didn't want to put any pressure or burden on her.

"Come on, I'll take you to the Merfolk first."

"The sea people have different races. The Merfolk have the largest royal palace. I have my own palace in the royal palace."

"Going to the palace will inevitably attract attention from others, so I'll take you to a secluded courtyard of the Merfolk first, and then we'll investigate the Soul Gathering Lamp."

“The villa is also my private residence, and very few people know about it. Only a few of my closest confidants know its location.”

Wei Jinmo didn't want any misunderstandings or misinterpretations between him and Su Muyao, so he explained things clearly first.

Su Muyao nodded. "I know you're doing this for my safety."

Indeed, she might not be comfortable going directly to the palace.

However, on their way to the Merfolk, they encountered two groups of assassins. Wei Jinmo protected Su Muyao tightly, and he only needed to manipulate the seawater to easily kill these assassins.

As he manipulated the seawater, his body was surrounded by intense energy fluctuations.

The system was astonished by this scene. "Host, Wei Jinmo may be the chosen Sea God Emperor. He has a strong affinity for seawater, and his control over seawater seems to be ingrained in his bones. The energy fluctuations emanating from his body belong to the power of the Sea God. It is not obvious yet, but one day when his power is fully awakened, he will have a very strong power of the Sea God, and at that time he will be able to control the entire sea area."

"No wonder he is your destined beast husband, he is indeed very strong."

“Host, I think you should really consider Wei Jinmo.”

“He is really good. Of course, I know that Yue Wuhen sacrificed himself for you and you feel guilty about considering other beast husbands, but that doesn’t mean you have to be with Wei Jinmo right now. You can think about him in your heart.”

In the past, the system might not have said this, but ever since it learned that Night Shadow was Wei Jinmo, the system's attitude has changed.

Because it can sense the kindness Nightshade shows to its host.

That was a genuine desire to be good to her.

Su Muyao didn't speak. She just quietly watched Wei Jinmo, watching him being assassinated and surrounded, and felt a sense of oppression in her heart.

She wanted to help him, she wanted to fight, but her strength was stuck at level ten, and no matter how much she cultivated, it was useless.

Just as she was worrying about Wei Jinmo, she sensed a slight loosening in her cultivation level.

This struck Su Muyao as incredible.

"System, did you feel it? I just sensed a slight loosening in my cultivation level, which means there's an opportunity to break through my current strength."

The system said, "That must be related to your state of mind just now, and to everything around you."

The system paused for a moment, then added, "No, it's related to Wei Jinmo."

"Host, I understand. I just sensed something."

"By forming a pact with Wei Jinmo and using the power of the Sea God within him, you can break through your cultivation bottleneck and your strength will advance by leaps and bounds."

"Yes, that's how you become stronger." "Moreover, he possesses the power of the Sea God, so the effects of your contract are different from those of other beastmen."

The system spoke with a hint of excitement in its tone.

"Host, you need strength if you want to roam freely among the sea creatures."

Even if you obtain the Soul Gathering Lamp, you still need to have the strength to protect it.

"Even if Wei Jinmo stays by your side the whole time, helping you protect the Soul Gathering Lamp, it still can't withstand so many assassins, right?"

Only when you are strong can you protect the people you want to protect and safeguard the things you want to safeguard.

"Believe me, if you two form a pact this time and obtain the power of the Sea God, you will not only be able to restore your previous strength, but also increase your strength significantly."

“Not all merfolk can possess the power of the sea god. Right now, only Wei Jinmo should have it. His blue eyes say it all.”

"No wonder the other princes all see him as a rival..."

“Didn’t you say you wanted to help him? Look at him, he’s in great danger right now. He’s surrounded by enemies among the sea tribes and doesn’t have any powerful backing. Even if the Wei family is strong, that’s only on land. If you become stronger, you can help him.”

The system sighed and said a lot.

It genuinely hopes its host is well.

Su Muyao said seriously, "Let me think about it carefully first."

Hearing Su Muyao say this, the system felt it was a good idea. Since the host didn't refuse, it was very likely that she agreed with what it said.

Wei Jinmo's efforts have finally paid off.

After dealing with the assassins, Wei Jinmo went to Su Muyao's side and carefully examined her. Even though he knew she would be alright, he was still worried and checked her over thoroughly.

He would feel heartbroken if she lost even a single hair.

"Are you alright? Are you tired?"

Even though she wasn't injured, Wei Jinmo was worried that she would get tired.

Su Muyao took his hand and infused his wood-type ability into his body. "I'm not tired. Let's go back to your villa first. You should rest well."

Although Wei Jinmo is very strong now, at least at level seventeen, dealing with so many assassins must have consumed a lot of her strength.

Moreover, the fluctuations in his mental energy were quite intense.

So after each battle, Su Muyao would reach out and soothe his agitated mind and internal energy.

She guessed that it was probably because he grew up on land and had only recently returned to the sea tribe, so his adaptability wasn't very strong, and his mental state was unstable when fighting in the sea.

Wei Jinmo was somewhat drawn to Su Muyao's spiritual energy, which calmed his restless heart, reduced his headache, and made his body feel peaceful and comfortable.

"it is good."

……

Soon, Wei Jinmo led Su Muyao into the Merfolk territory and then to a spacious courtyard.

There are also guards protecting them in the shadows.

When Wei Jinmo led Su Muyao inside, the butler and servants were there to greet them.

Wei Jinmo said, "This is Miss Su. From now on, her words are as my words, and you must obey them."

Everyone was shocked and puzzled, but dared not voice any objections. "Yes, Master."

After settling Su Muyao in, Wei Jinmo said to her that evening, "I'll go and investigate the Soul Gathering Lamp first, and I'll tell you when I get back."

Su Muyao was a little worried about Wei Jinmo, "Will he be in danger?"

"Don't worry, it's just a reconnaissance mission, there won't be any danger. Wait for me to come back."

"Ah."

Su Muyao knew nothing about the sea tribes, let alone the Soul Gathering Lamp, so she could only wait for Wei Jinmo's news at the villa.

But three days passed in the end.

Three days later, Wei Dong appeared before Su Muyao covered in blood.

"Wei Dong, what's wrong?"

Su Muyao was surprised to see Wei Dong in the sea tribe. Wei Dong used to be Wei Jinmo's trusted servant in the Wei family.

“Miss Su… This is a space ring belonging to the Sea Clan. The young master has set up a restriction, and only you can open it. Inside is a Soul Gathering Lamp. The young master has ordered his men to take you away immediately.”
