Chapter 961 - 947: Paying Respect

Looking at Wei Jinmo’s fragile, tear-streaked, crimson eyes at the moment, his brows and eyes carried a weary expression.

She reached out with heartache and gently touched his brow and cheek, saying, "Jinmo, I’m sorry for making you worry."

Wei Jinmo softly shook his head and replied with a gentle rasp, "Wife, don’t say that."

"It’s good that you’ve woken up."

At this moment, Wei Jinmo wasn’t thinking of himself at all; his eyes and heart were filled with Su Muyao.

He gazed intently at Su Muyao, fearing she might be unwell.

"Wife, is your body alright? Is there any discomfort?"

"Why did you suddenly fall into a deep sleep?"

"I saw you briefly touch the Hongmeng Ruins Bone Spirit Flower, then you fell unconscious."

From Wei Jinmo’s perspective, that’s what it seemed like.

In reality, Su Muyao felt as if she was glimpsing through ancient times, witnessing the scenes of that era and seeing the Empire of Di Fu Yuan from that long past.

Su Muyao explained softly, "I saw the Dragon Palace from ancient times, the Dragon Clan Beastmen, and the Empire of Di Fu Yuan from long ago..."

Su Muyao briefly mentioned these events, but then she stopped speaking.

As if realizing something, she gently covered her heart with her hand.

"It hurt very much here before, so painful and sad, but now it’s better."

Her mood was now completely calm.

Although she also felt sorrow for Di Fu Yuan of that era, it wasn’t the suffocating, heart-wrenching feeling that she couldn’t face.

"It was the song; after I fell asleep, I heard incredibly beautiful music, so ethereal, it could heal the soul."

She had never heard such an ethereal melody before.

Just thinking of such a tune feels so wonderful, making one feel enchanted almost irresistibly.

Wei Jinmo, hearing his wife’s praise of his song, blushed.

Seeing his expression, Su Muyao immediately understood and softly asked, "Was it you singing?"

She remembered Wei Jinmo saying he could sing Merfolk songs before.

Turns out, the melody was this beautiful.

At that moment, seeing Wei Jinmo, she felt he was radiant.

Even in his weariness, he retained an elegant and refined aura, surrounded by a tranquil and serene atmosphere slowly spreading in the air.

Those eyes looked at her with profound affection.

He was already pure, elegant, perfect, clean and warm in temperament; his singing only enhanced these qualities, making her feel even more charmed.

Su Muyao’s eyes sparkled, expressing admiration, "Jinmo, you’re amazing, your song is so beautiful, I love it."

"It feels as if my heart has calmed down."

It truly has the power to soothe one’s heart.

As if it carries the Secret Technique of the Great Dao.

Praised by his wife, Wei Jinmo felt a hidden sense of joy.

His eyes flickered with brilliance, like flowers in bloom and gentle spring waters.

"It’s my honor that you like it, my wife."

"I was afraid I wouldn’t sing well, it was my first time."

At that moment, I only thought of waking my wife, disregarding everything else.

Su Muyao sincerely expressed, "I like it, of course I do."

"I was really sad at first, but you calmed my emotions."

She felt grateful to Wei Jinmo.

Back then, the scenes caused by the Demon King and the Destructive Black Lotus were too bloody and impactful.

And Di Fu Yuan...

She found it hard to accept.

She still remembered the emotions of that time, tears uncontrollably streaming down.

But now her mood had calmed.

The healing effect of the song was miraculous.

Wei Jinmo explained, "That’s the Soul-soothing Song from the Merfolk Royal Family’s inherited memories, which can ease pain, stabilize the soul, make one’s mood calm, and bring the Divine Soul back to its place."

Su Muyao was enlightened, "I see."

"Thank you, Jinmo."

With tender and loving eyes, Wei Jinmo looked at Su Muyao and said, "Don’t mention these things, my wife, I’m willing to do them for you."

"Moreover, I was very worried and scared when you were unconscious."

Ever since falling for Su Muyao, he had given her his whole heart.

All of him belonged to her.

He feared even the slightest harm to her.

Seeing her well was a relief.

"If your mood is not good, I can sing to you again, my wife."

Su Muyao replied, "I’m much better now, feeling calm."

Though she wanted to hear it, she vaguely understood that such a soul-soothing song requires using superpower.

Wei Jinmo’s face appeared pale at the moment, looking quite uncomfortable.

She sat up, gently hugged him, and simultaneously released her Wood Element Ability, channeling it into Wei Jinmo’s body.

This Wood Element Ability was soft and gentle, like a warm spring breeze, seeped into Wei Jinmo’s body and Spirit Sea.

The soothing Wood Element Ability in the Spirit Sea calmed his previous agitation and fear.

The Wood Element Ability circulating in the meridians slowly moved through the blood vessels, dissipating deep-seated fatigue.

Wei Jinmo’s long sleep-deprived spirit was soothed, and his whole being relaxed.

The weariness accumulated over days was gradually dissolved by the Wood Element vitality.

From inside out, he felt a warm comfort, with lingering fatigue completely dissipated, and the depleted spirit steadily recovered visibly.

He could even sense the sweet aura from his wife, making him irresistibly crave more.

He embraced Su Muyao, gently kissing her hair, feeling a sense of fullness and comfort.

"I’m okay now, my wife."

"Did you see what happened to the Dragon Clan later? Why did the Dragon Palace become like that?"

Su Muyao’s lashes gently fluttered as she recounted the complete story.

Even in simple words, Wei Jinmo could envision such scenes.

"Turns out they did so much, if not for Di Fu Yuan, the gate wouldn’t have closed, and the Demon Beasts would have invaded overwhelmingly."

"The Beast World Beastmen might no longer exist."

Wei Jinmo’s mood became heavy.

He didn’t expect Demon Beasts to be such a cruel group; from his wife’s description, he could discern what the Demon Beast tribe was like.

The means of the Insect Clan Beastmen might not compare to Demon Beasts.

He felt he needed to become Beast God promptly to do more.

Such Demon Beasts invading their Beast World must not happen.

That gate must never reappear.

Su Muyao’s demeanor also became grave. She stood up from Wei Jinmo’s embrace, determinedly saying, "Let’s secure the Dragon Ball first."

The Dragon Ball should be significant to Di Fu Yuan; she intended to give it to him when she saw him again.

Perhaps it could help him gather a complete Divine Soul.

She always felt the Dragon Ball was important.

"Alright."

Wei Jinmo accompanied Su Muyao deeper into the abandoned Dragon Palace ruin.

As she walked through, the Hongmeng Ruins Bone Spirit Flowers swayed towards her and bent their stems, as if bowing to her.

Witnessing this scene, Su Muyao was shaken.

"They must possess consciousness, don’t they?"

Wei Jinmo answered, "If souls exist, they surely have consciousness."

"We can’t see them, but they might see us."

"Being the destined wife of the Dragon King, they might sense that and thus pay you respect."

Su Muyao had contracted with Di Fu Yuan before; his Divine Soul wasn’t complete yet, but he had materialized back at Cloud Mist Mountain, and they formed a contract.

She carried Di Fu Yuan’s aura and mark; hence, these spirits could likely sense Di Fu Yuan’s presence.
