Chapter 826 - 814: Comfort (First Update)
The two of them stayed by the bedside, watching Su Muyao, their hearts tightening with anxiety.
They couldn’t help but worry about her.
It wasn’t until after midnight that Su Muyao’s eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Yue Wuhen waved his fingers, lighting the candles and oil lamps on the nearby table, instantly illuminating the room.
This way, it was easier for Su Muyao to see clearly.
"Wife, you’re awake."
Yue Wuhen’s light purple eyes sparkled with a gentle and affectionate light, and his voice was incredibly soft.
Su Muyao, just awakened and still a little dazed, felt at ease as soon as she heard Yue Wuhen’s voice and saw him.
Shen Ci’an asked, "Wife, are you hungry? I’ll go to the kitchen and bring the food over."
After such a long time without eating, she must be hungry.
Su Muyao smiled tenderly at Shen Ci’an and nodded, "Okay."
While Shen Ci’an went to get the food, Su Muyao tried to rise from the bed.
Yue Wuhen hurriedly reached out to support her up, his body emitting a faint, pleasant scent, fresh and captivating.
Su Muyao took a breath, unable to resist being enchanted by it.
"I’m not that weak, not that delicate."
Yue Wuhen softly said, "You fainted before."
After Su Muyao sat up and heard these words, she suddenly remembered what had happened before.
Her face turned red, "I... I don’t even know how I fainted."
The system spoke up, "Host, you were just too weak, and that’s why that happened."
"You used the Immortal Technique and Time Reversal, and even after resting, you performed alchemy and used Heart Blood. It’s no wonder you fainted."
"The main reason is the Heart Blood."
Using Heart Blood as medicine would put the host in a weakened and fainted state.
Su Muyao carefully assessed her physical state, "No, I feel very light and full of energy now."
"The spot on my heart doesn’t hurt either."
Su Muyao placed her fingers on the spot over her heart.
It had previously been throbbing with pain because of the cut for extracting Heart Blood, but now it no longer hurt.
The system had not noticed it before, but upon investigation, it said, "Indeed, Host, your heart wound has completely healed. You slept and recovered completely, as if the missing Heart Blood was replenished."
"Strange, after you fainted, I fell into a slumber too, so I had no idea what happened."
Realizing something was off, Su Muyao quickly looked around the room, trying to find someone.
However, Mei Qingchen was nowhere to be seen.
For some reason, Su Muyao’s heart suddenly tightened.
Seeing Su Muyao in this state, Yue Wuhen explained, "Mei Qingchen, he..."
"What happened to him?"
Yue Wuhen sighed, and with his slender fingers, he first tidied Su Muyao’s hair, saying, "He took the elixir to remove the Youluo Fragrance and then embarked on the Ascension Road."
Upon hearing this, Su Muyao felt a sharp buzzing pain in her head.
She gripped Yue Wuhen’s hand tightly, her face turning pale, "The Divine Domain is collapsing. How could he open the Ascension Road? Entering it would be so dangerous."
"How could he... why did he just..."
Halfway through speaking, Su Muyao’s nose grew sore.
She finally understood why Mei Qingchen reacted the way he did when she gave him the elixir.
Was his expression then a sign of insecurity?
Or did he sense that after taking the elixir and removing the constraint of Youluo Fragrance, the Divine Blood would manifest, triggering the Ascension Road to open?
Seeing Su Muyao like this, Yue Wuhen’s heart felt uncomfortable too.
He sat by the bed, holding her close, gently comforting, "He’s going to be okay."
"With the Golden Lotus Inheritance Power, he should be able to protect himself at critical moments."
In Yue Wuhen’s view, a collapsing Divine Domain is certainly dangerous, but with Mei Qingchen’s ability, there shouldn’t be any life-threatening danger.
Only he had taken Heart Blood.
Su Muyao couldn’t help but worry.
Yue Wuhen picked up a Golden Lotus Branch from the side, "Mei Qingchen sent this out when he entered the Ascension Road, it has his Heart Blood on it."
"With this, perhaps we can find other entrances to the collapsing Divine Domain."
"And judging by its luster, it means he’s fine."
Normally, if something happened to Mei Qingchen, the Golden Lotus Branch imbued with his Origin Power would wither.
Su Muyao took the Golden Lotus Branch, feeling its luster, gently touching it.
Currently, she could feel that Mei Qingchen was safe.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Extracting Heart Blood is painful."
She knew the pain of it, so she understood why Mei Qingchen did what he did.
He was silently sacrificing for her too.
And he had given so much.
Thinking of Wen Nanxi and the others, recalling the early times in the Beiluo Tribe, Su Muyao’s heart ached with longing.
She put the branch away into her space, wrapping her arms tightly around Yue Wuhen, burying her head in his chest, "Wuheng, thank goodness you’re still beside me."
At this moment, Su Muyao allowed her vulnerable side to surface.
Watching the person in his arms relying on him, Yue Wuhen gently stroked her hair, eyes filled with a look of fondness, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll always be by your side."
He didn’t know what might happen to him later, but he would do his best to stay by Su Muyao’s side.
"Wuheng, no matter where you are, I will bring you back."
She would find Wen Nanxi and the others one by one.
"I really want to go back to the Beiluo Tribe, I truly miss those times."
Hearing her words, Yue Wuhen felt a piercing ache in his heart.
He knew how much hardship she endured on this road to saving the world.
But for the survival of the Beast World, none of them could give up.
She carried a profound Qi Fortune.
Just like during the time in the Taixu Secret Realm, when others couldn’t find a way to purify, she discovered the Purification Tree.
The Ant Beastman of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the Immortal Crystal Stone Mine, without her, these matters would not have been resolved.
And then the Destructive Catastrophe, normally, the Chaos Wild Beastman’s instinct would be to destroy the world, like the Destructive Black Lotus.
Such a vast Chaotic Power was hard to suppress and harder still to resolve.
But only the wife could make the Chaos Wild Beastman develop human emotions, causing hesitation in the face of destruction.
Just that in this process, she was also injured.
Her former Immortal Phoenix Bone was lost because of him.
The more Yue Wuhen thought, the more his heart ached.
He embraced her tightly, lowering his head to gently kiss her hair, "We will go back."
"Once these matters are resolved, we will take the children back to the Beiluo Tribe together."
Imagining that scene, a faint smile appeared on Su Muyao’s face.
"Am I being too greedy, wanting all of you to be by my side, being unable to give each of you my undivided love."
Her love was divided into many pieces.
Yue Wuhen’s expression was gentle, "How could you think so."
"We are the greedy ones, you’ve been so good to us."
They have the best wife in the world.
She gave them such a wonderful love.
Being able to stay by her side, they already felt very honored.
Thus, Yue Wuhen gently soothed Su Muyao’s emotions, calming her slowly.
After she finished freshening up, Shen Ci’an came back in from the door, placing the food on the table.
"She really relies on you, it’s great that you’re beside her at a time like this, knowing how to comfort her."
In this aspect, Shen Ci’an knew he couldn’t match Yue Wuhen, so he didn’t bother to compete.
Yue Wuhen remained silent for a moment, his light purple eyes dimmed slightly, "I only regret not being by her side at the Beiluo Tribe like you all."
This was his biggest regret, now all he wanted was to make up for lost time.
But regret was still regret.
Shen Ci’an understood Yue Wuhen, "You were caught up in circumstances beyond your control."
"I regret too, I should’ve returned sooner back then."
"When her soul returned, it was Wen Nanxi and the other three who stayed by her side, and to her, that was ultimately different."
