Chapter 965 - 951: Overflowing Affection

Su Muyao remembered that Yun Qinglan had mentioned before that Mei Qingchen and Jing Chu were both in Ghost Ruins Canyon.

After Yun Qinglan became the Beast God, she thought about either going to Ghost Ruins Canyon to find them or going to Hongmeng Sea to find Wei Jinmo.

However, at that time, the system said there was a problem with Hongmeng Sea, so she hurriedly went there first.

She wondered how things were in Ghost Ruins Canyon.

Fortunately, now Jing Chu was by her side.

Looking at Jing Chu always lifted Su Muyao’s spirits.

Jing Chu’s features were as poetic as a painting, like cerulean clouds. Just looking at his face made Su Muyao’s heart involuntarily calm down.

Jing Chu softly explained, "Yes, he is still in Ghost Ruins Canyon. Previously, Ghost Ruins Canyon was a completely sealed-off place."

"It was a natural phenomenon formed after the Divine Domain became fragmented, turning the former plains into a canyon."

"Initially, the canyon had no peculiarities, but suddenly, a few months ago, there were supernatural phenomena, and deep abysses opened within the canyon, releasing numerous treasures, attracting countless beastmen to seize them."

"Those treasures resembled items from the Divine Domain’s hall, falling to the mortal world, each worth a fortune and capable of enhancing a beastman’s cultivation."

"However, alongside the treasures, demon beasts also emerged from the canyon’s abysses."

"Those demon beasts began slaughtering beastmen and snatching treasures."

"Mei Qingchen and I had to go there to deal with those demon beasts."

"We stayed for some time to resolve the demon beast issue. After Ghost Ruins Canyon closed, there was nothing much happening, so I sensed your aura and came looking for you."

"But the situation in Ghost Ruins Canyon was uncertain, so Mei Qingchen stayed there temporarily."

Jing Chu briefly explained the situation.

Hearing this, Su Muyao furrowed her brows, her expression solemn, "Why did Ghost Ruins Canyon crack open?"

"Did demon beasts somehow use a method to open a Divine Domain fragment rift to send more demon beasts?"

When she was at Hongmeng Sea, the demon beasts entered through the Black Marsh Land gap.

Fortunately, when Wei Jinmo became the Beast God, he killed all the demon beasts in Hongmeng Sea, closing the Black Marsh Land gap completely, preventing further invasions.

A deep gleam flashed in Jing Chu’s eyes, "It’s possible, or maybe the supernatural phenomena, when the canyon treasures appeared, altered the terrain, giving demon beasts a chance to sneak in."

"However, there weren’t many demon beasts emerging, so don’t worry overly."

There were actually many demon beasts, and Jing Chu and Mei Qingchen spent that time continuously exterminating them.

So there was no time to sense anything at all.

After dealing with the demon beasts, they could finally catch a breath.

It was only then that Jing Chu sensed Su Muyao’s aura through the Contract Mark.

Because he possessed a concentrated divine power, containing part of the Beast God’s power, his senses were sharper.

When Su Muyao heard Jing Chu saying this without meeting her eyes, she knew there had to be many demon beasts, but he chose not to tell her to avoid worrying her.

Su Muyao reached out to hold Jing Chu’s hand, "Jing Chu, are you hurt or suffering from beast power backlash?"

Jing Chu naturally grasped Su Muyao’s hand lightly, then tucked it into the blanket, carefully tucking the corners, "Don’t worry, wife. I was split off after becoming a Beast God, so I won’t suffer from beast power backlash, nor is it easy for me to get hurt."

"So, wife, don’t worry for now. Just get a good night’s sleep."

Jing Chu could see in Su Muyao’s weary eyes the fatigue she was enduring.

She was pushing her spirit to talk to him.

When he carried her here earlier, he could feel her body and spirit were tense.

She seemed constantly under pressure.

Jing Chu felt deeply sorry for her and wanted her to relax.

Yet he knew, bearing the mantle of a savior, she found it hard to relax truly.

"No matter what, talk about it after waking."

"I’m here, it’s alright, don’t worry."

"I’m always here."

Jing Chu’s voice was gentle, soothing, as he reached out and gently smoothed Su Muyao’s furrowed brow with his long fingers.

Her brow had been knitted, just like her heart.

Under Jing Chu’s soothing, Su Muyao relaxed a little.

But she still took her hand out from under the blanket, grabbing his sleeve, "Are you really always here?"

Now, because all the beast husbands were becoming gods, she felt heavy anxiety.

Jing Chu’s eyelashes fluttered, his eyes that were like gentle breezes and clear moonlight showing a pained look, "Yes, I’ll always be here."

"I don’t need to become a Beast God or go to the Divine Domain. I can always stay with my wife."

"This time, it’s true."

"I can’t bear to leave you either."

After searching for a hundred thousand years, he finally found her at the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan. But before they could spend much time together, he entered the Ascension Road.

Now, he finally could be by her side. How could he bear to leave?

He just wished to stay with her until the end of time.

Su Muyao’s eyes warmed and felt the sting of tears, "Yes, I believe you."

Jing Chu held her hand, "Yes, sleep now. I’m right here."

This time, he didn’t let go of her hand, just held it tightly.

Su Muyao said, "You should sleep too."

She knew he must be tired from the journey.

And as a Snake Beastman, he needed more sleep.

"I’m not sleepy, I’ll watch over you."

Su Muyao said, "Here, near the Hongmeng Sea, with Wei Jinmo as the Beast God, there’s no danger. You should come up and sleep too."

"I want you to stay with me."

Hearing this, Jing Chu’s heart became soft beyond control.

Only then did he take off his shoes and outer coat and get into bed.

Su Muyao naturally leaned into his arms, finding a comfortable position.

For a moment, Jing Chu’s body went stiff, and a wave of heat surged. But he dared not move.

Su Muyao wore a smile on her face.

There was bright sunlight like a gentle breeze here, and his presence.

Her long-unsettled heart relaxed, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Hearing Su Muyao’s gentle breathing, knowing she was sound asleep, Jing Chu finally relaxed a little.

Even his breathing was unconsciously quiet, afraid of disturbing her.

His gaze was tender, focused on her, keeping watch over her.

...

This sleep was extraordinarily peaceful and sound for Su Muyao.

In her subconscious, there was a strong sense of security.

When she awoke again, it was the next morning.

The bright sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a warm glow on Su Muyao, warming her entire being.

Su Muyao’s eyelashes fluttered gently, and opening her eyes, she saw Jing Chu.

"Jing Chu, am I dreaming?"

Jing Chu patted her hair, "You’re not dreaming, I’m here."

There was an ache in his heart.

Knowing she had been through so much yet not knowing how to soothe her wounds and scars.

He could only stay by her side and never leave.

But if Wen Nanxi needed to exert all the Beast God Power, he would have to return to the Divine Domain to integrate.

As of now, Wen Nanxi didn’t need to use such power.

To use the full extent of the Beast God Power, it might require the Twelve Beast Gods to return.

"Did wife have a good sleep?"

Su Muyao nodded, "Yes, I slept well, my spirit is fully restored."

This sleep was deep, and thus very restful.

Getting up to wash, Jing Chu took care of her.

"Jing Chu, I can do it myself."

"Wife, I want to take care of you, to do these things for you."

He had finally come to her side and wanted to do everything a beast husband could do.

He wanted to love her well.

Otherwise, the overflowing love in his heart had nowhere to go.
