Chapter 400 Care
Su Muyao endured the biting cold inside, walked through the winding corridor, and arrived at the central door. She opened the door and saw a familiar figure locked on the round platform in the very center.

His long, dark blue hair hung messily down his back, and his originally fair skin now had a faint bluish-purple tinge. Blue magic chains were locked on his wrists and his mermaid tail, with the other end of the chains embedded in the surrounding stone pillars.

Every now and then, a force from the stone pillar would strike him through the chains, making his wounds worse and worse. His once crystal-clear blue scales became dull, as if they had been charred.

He was bound by chains, and the force that struck him made a hissing sound.

Seeing Wei Jinmo lying unconscious on the ground, enduring these punishments, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.

She walked over quickly, but just as she got close, she felt a force.

Upon closer inspection, Su Muyao discovered that around the stone platform and pillars, a layer of translucent light blue light membrane was faintly visible, with tiny electric arcs occasionally flashing across its surface, and a chilling restrictive fluctuation permeated the air.

The system also noticed and quickly warned, "Host, don't go near, there are restrictions here."

“Look, there are runes on each stone pillar.”

"These things are probably left over from ancient times. Many forces like to use ancient restrictions to lock up orcs."

Su Muyao said calmly, "The restrictions can't stop me."

The system said, "This restriction is no ordinary restriction. I can feel the powerful pressure on it. It seems that the ancestors of the sea race were very powerful in the past, which is why they were able to establish such a Mermaid Court."

"The restrictions here are different from the ones you faced when you first entered the Hall of Light."

"Sigh, speaking of Wen Nanxi's original body, who would have thought that he was the one who directed and acted? At that time, I was in a deep sleep and couldn't help the host to discern anything."

"That original self was ruthless to yourself in order to deceive you, but Wei Jinmo is definitely not like that now."

“I can feel that Wei Jinmo’s life force is getting weaker and weaker, and his injuries are more serious than they appear.”

Su Muyao looked down at the unconscious Wei Jinmo, her heart filled with anxiety, but the more anxious she became, the calmer she tried to stay. She focused her mind and carefully tried to find a way to break the restriction.

She discovered that these restrictions were related to the hidden patterns on the platform and pillars.

Those also belong to the power of runes.

Each of those lines shimmered with a faint blue light, as if countless tiny serpents were slithering within them.

She walked around, memorizing all the runes and connecting them together.

A thought flashed through her mind: "I know, this is the 'Spirit Locking Restriction' that has been passed down from ancient times. It can trap powerful beings within it. Ordinary beastmen who touch the Spirit Locking Restriction will be devoured by spiritual power and easily lose their lives."

"Orcs with superpowers will have all their powers locked away and will be unable to use any of them."

Even the system exclaimed, "How ruthless! They're planning to lock Wei Jinmo up here forever, cripple all his talents and abilities, and make him a cripple even if he doesn't die."

A cold glint flashed in Su Muyao's eyes. "I will definitely not let them succeed."

"Every restriction, no matter how powerful, has its own rules."

"These dark patterns carry the power of runes, moving like threads according to specific rules. Each turn will cause the surrounding spiritual energy to resonate. This spirit-locking restriction seems complicated, but it is actually based on the Seven Star Array and the Qiankun Transformation. As long as you find the seven array eyes corresponding to the seven stars and inject the special power in the order of the array eyes, you can disrupt the operation of the restriction."

She quickly located the array's core according to its operating rules and injected her special abilities into it in sequence.

It can interfere with the operation of the restriction without triggering a backlash from the restriction.

When the seventh burst of supernatural energy was injected into the last array eye, the pale blue light membrane around the stone platform suddenly fluctuated violently. The electric arcs on the surface disappeared instantly, and the light membrane shattered with a "pop" like a punctured bubble, turning into countless tiny points of light that dissipated into the air.

The system was ecstatic: "The restriction has been broken!"

"Host, are you okay?"

This restriction is very strong. Even if its host easily finds a way to break it, it will require a lot of supernatural energy.

At this moment, it can sense that the host has become very weak.

Her face was very pale.

Su Muyao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "I'm fine."

With that, she leaped onto the stone platform and came to Wei Jinmo. She knelt down and carefully touched Wei Jinmo, taking his pulse. She then realized that he was barely clinging to life.

She felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her eyes reddened. Ignoring her weakened state, she channeled her supernatural power into his body to heal his injuries.

Since Su Muyao was reborn after her death and became a phoenix, she discovered that her wood-type superpower seemed to have been upgraded, with a stronger effect on restoring the human body. "Wei Jinmo, you must be alright."

At this moment, she dared not move the four magical chains. Although the restriction was broken and the chains could not exert their power without the enhancement of runes, the chains were still embedded in his wound. Even the slightest movement would cause him severe pain.

Let him recover from his injuries first.

In her delirium, Wei Jinmo thought she was going to die.

Even in his hazy state, Su Muyao's image kept flashing through his mind.

Wei Dong should have taken her away with his men by now.

With his trained subordinates protecting her, she should be able to leave the sea tribe.

He used his own blood to perform a secret technique to erase the aura and traces of the Soul Gathering Lamp, so that no one could find any trace of it.

This was the only thing he could do for her.

Just as her longing was reaching its peak, Wei Jinmo felt a warm presence.

His heart trembled. This aura was so familiar, almost as if it were engraved into the depths of his soul, so unforgettable. Just thinking about it brought forth a complex mix of emotions.

A surge of longing welled up from the depths of my heart and welled up in my eyes, accumulating into a bittersweet feeling.

"Wei Jinmo, Wei Jinmo..."

He thought he must be dreaming, because he was dreaming of her voice.

Even if it's an illusion, he wants to grasp it, to greedily take a look.

Wei Jinmo seemed to break free from her restraints and suddenly opened her eyes.

When Wei Jinmo opened his eyes, he immediately saw Su Muyao, who was looking at him with red eyes and a look of worry in her eyes.

"Miss Su...?"

Wei Jinmo's heart trembled, and he called out to her uncertainly.

Su Muyao hugged him tightly, choking back tears as she said, "You're finally awake."

She treated him there for two or three hours, and he finally woke up.

She was really scared just now.

The moment she was embraced, Wei Jinmo froze, her mind burning as if from the hot embrace.

The surprise came so quickly that he didn't know how to react.

His throat bobbed. "Miss Su, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me. Don't call me Miss Su anymore. Just call me by my name, Su Muyao."

Upon hearing this, Wei Jinmo's heart raced and pounded. She wanted to say something, but her throat was burning and she couldn't utter a sound.

His mind went blank for a moment.

Belatedly realizing what was happening, he turned pale and said, "It's dangerous here, you need to leave quickly."

Su Muyao said firmly, "No, I'm not leaving. I finally got here. If anyone's leaving, it'll be us all going out together."

At this moment, Su Muyao hugged Wei Jinmo without caring about anything else.

"I was so scared, I was afraid something had happened to you."

She had been continuously injecting wood-based powers into his body, but he remained unconscious and unresponsive, causing her hands to tremble.

"You can't be hurt. Maybe I've cared about you since a long time ago, since you protected me as Nightshade, risking your life, but I never thought much about it."

She had just felt that lingering fear; she realized she was afraid of losing him, afraid that something might really happen to him.

So there are some things she wants to say.
