Chapter 949 - 935: Meticulous Care

Even while Wei Jinmo was doing these things, every move exuded a sense of nobility and elegance.

Just watching, Su Muyao felt it was a feast for the eyes.

She actually found Wei Jinmo’s temperament very unique.

The noble family’s grace was vividly displayed on him, with flawless temperament, appearance, and external demeanor—unparalleled.

Just standing quietly, he gave off a deadly attraction.

When he turned to look at her, his gaze was filled with gentleness.

Su Muyao understood that Wei Jinmo was indeed exceptional, and sometimes she couldn’t help but be drawn to him.

Moreover, his original mermaid form was even more beautiful and astonishing.

Su Muyao watched from the side and said, "Let me help you."

Wei Jinmo said softly, "It will be ready soon. Wife, take a rest first."

Wei Jinmo couldn’t bear to tire out his wife.

Besides, he greatly enjoyed the time he could spend cooking for and taking care of his wife.

After the Ascension Road opened, not seeing his wife for so long had been tormenting for him, and he only relied on past memories to relieve his longing.

Now seeing his wife before him, Wei Jinmo wished he could do more and more to make up for past regrets.

To be able to take better care of his wife.

Seeing Wei Jinmo insist, Su Muyao didn’t help out.

After a while, the fish ball soup was ready. Wei Jinmo served it and set it on the table.

Then he scooped a bowl for Su Muyao, using superpower to control the temperature, ensuring the soup wasn’t too hot.

Su Muyao smiled with crescent eyes and said, "It smells wonderful."

On the island, with the sea breeze blowing and the sound of waves, enjoying delicious seafood was a kind of pleasure.

She had never experienced island life before and now felt as if she were on vacation.

"Is the soup hot? Wife, you can taste it and see if you like it."

Su Muyao nodded. She felt just the right amount of hunger.

On the road, to hurry along, she had been eating quick meals from her space, just to stave off hunger, without having hot meals.

At this moment, she took a sip of the soup and ate a piece of fish ball, feeling her stomach warm and herself very comfortable.

"Delicious."

Indeed, gourmet food could heal the mood and help one relax.

Seeing his wife liking it, Wei Jinmo let out a sigh of relief.

"As long as you like it, I’ll make more for you."

While saying this, Wei Jinmo also began peeling shrimp and king crab meat for Su Muyao, placing them in her other bowl for convenience.

There were also dipping sauces available.

Just watching his wife eat, Wei Jinmo’s eyes were so gentle they seemed to drip water.

Seeing her cheeks puffed while eating, Wei Jinmo felt his heart becoming incredibly soft.

Zaizai also ate just like her.

Su Muyao took another bite of king crab meat, feeling that it was satisfying to eat in big mouthfuls.

The original flavor was so fresh and delicious.

"Alright, you should eat too."

Su Muyao placed a few pieces into Wei Jinmo’s bowl.

Looking at his wife’s actions, Wei Jinmo felt deeply moved.

He originally wasn’t hungry, but somehow, with his wife beside him, watching her eat, he found himself having more of an appetite too.

And his previously tense spirit naturally relaxed.

"These shrimp and crab meats don’t have a fishy smell; they taste better."

Wei Jinmo explained, "Because although the demon energy here is strong, there’s no pollution, so sea creatures are more delicious."

Su Muyao thought if the Mortal Beast Continent and Cang Beast Continent had no pollution, food resources would be very abundant.

This meal made Su Muyao feel very full.

After Wei Jinmo cleaned everything up, they washed up and bathed; when darkness fell, they sat on the beach chairs by the sea, watching the stars and the ocean, listening to the waves.

If she hadn’t known this was the Divine Domain Fragment World, known there were demon beasts, and had responsibilities to bear, Su Muyao would have been tempted to indulge in this leisurely time.

It felt like being on vacation.

And although it was nighttime, it wasn’t cold.

Su Muyao watched the stars and sipped freshly squeezed juice.

Wei Jinmo had made the juice from fruits, very tasty and sweet.

Su Muyao always knew Wei Jinmo was attentive and gentle. When he used the Face Changing Pearl to become Ye Ying, he took care of her so meticulously.

It’s still the same now.

Yet Su Muyao always felt there was an imperceptible anxiety beneath Wei Jinmo’s carefulness.

Ask him about it, and he wouldn’t say anything.

Su Muyao could only tell him about what happened later, "After you entered the Ascension Road, I thought about going to the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan, and on the way, I found that the environment of the Beast World Continent was becoming more chaotic. This was also related to increased pollution. Ingredients in the mountains and forests were polluted, wild beasts became mutated beasts, and to compete for food resources, there were conflicts among the beastmen, which was inevitable."

"Later, after arriving at the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan, Jihan had been taking care of Da Bao. Not long after, I learned that the elders of the Fox Clan who had gone out were attacked by the Insect Clan, and many beastmen of the Insect Clan had already passed the barrier to Cang Beast Continent..."

"Then there was the siege on the Fox Clan..."

Su Muyao recounted these events in a steady tone.

As she spoke of it now, it felt as if a long time had passed.

But Wei Jinmo listened and couldn’t help but feel tense, gripping Su Muyao’s hand tightly, his eyes trembling softly with a hint of redness: "I’m sorry, I wasn’t by your side then."

He knew that even though his wife spoke of it simply, it must have been very dangerous at the time.

Just thinking about it made his heart feel suffocated and painful.

Su Muyao looked at Wei Jinmo’s pale face and felt it was better not to talk about these things.

"It’s okay, it got better later, Yue Wuhen came, he came back to life."

"Don’t blame yourself."

When speaking of that time again, Su Muyao’s brows and eyes still sparkled brightly, every time she remembered Yue Wuhen coming back to life, she felt very happy.

Su Muyao reached out to hug Wei Jinmo, letting him not be so tense.

"See, I’m fine, really okay, after that..."

Su Muyao spoke a lot, and Wei Jinmo listened attentively.

As Su Muyao talked, she got sleepy and fell asleep leaning in Wei Jinmo’s arms.

Wei Jinmo held Su Muyao like that, not daring to move.

Afraid that if he moved, she would wake up.

She must be very tired on this journey.

Afrain she might get cold, Wei Jinmo moved his fingers, and a jacket landed in his hand.

He carefully draped it over Su Muyao.

He cherished the time his wife spent with him, so he watched her almost without blinking.

Once he felt she was deeply asleep, Wei Jinmo carefully carried her back to the room.

He gently placed her on the bed, adjusted her pillow, took off her shoes, covered her with the blanket, and tucked in the corners...

His movements were very light, as if handling a treasure.

Su Muyao furrowed her brows slightly, moved, seemingly about to wake up.

Wei Jinmo patted her lightly, as if soothing a child, his movements gentle and calming.

Previously, when he took care of Zaizai alone, she initially slept poorly, and Wei Jinmo would soothe her this way.

Perhaps it was somewhat effective; Su Muyao went back to sleep.

Wei Jinmo didn’t want to sleep, just wanted to stay by her side.

But Su Muyao slept for a while, feeling something, she woke up groggily.

Because she knew she had things to do, she couldn’t sleep deeply.

Wei Jinmo saw her awake and leaned down to softly ask: "What’s wrong, why did you wake up?"

"Do you want to drink water?"

"Or is somewhere uncomfortable?"

When caring for Su Muyao, Wei Jinmo was extremely cautious.

Because this is a wife he painstakingly got, he naturally felt very tense.

Su Muyao shook her head: "No, I’m fine, it’s just that if you’re not sleeping with me, I can’t fall asleep."

Hearing this, Wei Jinmo’s heart fluttered, feeling needed.

His heart softened and warmed, "Okay, I’ll sleep with you."

Wei Jinmo took off his jacket and got on the bed.

Su Muyao got up and gently hooked her fingers onto his clothes string, her cheeks flushed, eyes bewitching as she looked at him, that gaze held an alluring charm.

Wei Jinmo’s elegantly drawn brows and eyes trembled, he naturally understood the meaning in his wife’s eyes.

Back then, when they formed a contract under the sea, she had looked at him with such eyes.

"Wife..."

At this moment, Wei Jinmo’s voice had become hoarse, but he was still not quite certain.

Su Muyao untied his clothing string, her hand landed on his chest.

Wei Jinmo’s body instantly tensed, as if a surge of emotion was rising.

"Jinmo, I want to sleep holding you."

Wei Jinmo’s voice was hoarse: "Alright."

He held Su Muyao and lay down gently.

Su Muyao felt he wasn’t holding her tight enough, so she nestled into his arms more forcefully, clinging to him tightly, as if wanting to wrap around him like an octopus.

Su Muyao knew that only when he lost control, during the contract, could she ask about the Heart Demon.

But she also wanted to break the backlash of beast power for him.

In the eyes of other females in the Beast World, Wei Jinmo was snow in the mountain stream, elegant and unattainable as moonlight.

Yet such moonlight had fallen into her hands.

Wei Jinmo felt the soft fragrance in his arms, feeling he couldn’t hold on, his body felt taut like a bowstring, burning with tension.

He very much wanted to pull his wife into his heart, but feared making her unhappy, so he restrained himself with great effort.

Su Muyao could feel the obvious change, the searing heat of his body, but found that despite this, he hadn’t moved.

Not even a kiss.

Su Muyao didn’t know whether to be angry or amused.

She could only take the initiative, deliberately lifting her head to breathe on his neck, "Jinmo, is it that I don’t have any charm for you anymore?"

Wei Jinmo heard this and panicked inside, "How could that be, how could wife think that."

Was it because he wasn’t clear enough in his intentions that led to his wife’s misunderstanding?
