Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 400 - 399: Dark Sea Area

Thinking about how Wei Jinmo was seriously injured for her, almost losing his life, she felt very distressed inside.

She sensed this feeling of sadness and realized that she had unconsciously started to care about Wei Jinmo.

Perhaps her emotions were even stronger than she thought.

Her heart was restless with anxiety because she was worried something might happen to Wei Jinmo.

After setting things up, Wei Dong presented a map before Su Muyao, "Miss Su, this is a map of the area around the Locking Merfolk Court."

"The Locking Merfolk Court is divided into three layers of barriers. The outer layer is guarded by Golden Armor Guards, with special patrol guards on watch. The middle layer has a Water Pattern Array—if someone approaches, it sets off an alarm by rippling the water pattern. Even if someone is lucky enough to pass the second layer, the inner layer has a Burning Kill Array set up by ancestors, which triggers a deadly mechanism when approached."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao frowned tightly at the markings on the map, "Such a tight setup around just one Locking Merfolk Court."

"Is it to prevent the imprisoned merfolk from escaping?"

"Isn’t Wei Jinmo the Sea Emperor’s favored prince? How could they treat him like this?"

Su Muyao was anxious, with a fiery feeling burning in her chest, wishing she could rescue Wei Jinmo immediately.

But now was not the time to rush; she had to remain calm.

Wei Dong said, "The forces behind other princes demanded that the Sea Emperor and the royal family imprison the young master in the Merfolk Court, using Sea Clan rules to pressure the Sea Emperor."

"The Merfolk Court is tightly guarded, so there’s no worry about the young master being rescued; the penalties inside are also very severe—anyone who enters is generally rendered powerless."

"Even though the young master has extraordinary talent and strength, being severely injured and subjected to penalties, he surely can’t withstand it."

"I heard that when he was sent in, royal elders followed the rules and struck him forty-nine times with the Ink Scale Whip; I’m worried something has already happened to him."

Since some things have been told to Miss Su, she needs to be informed of the news gathered if she is to meet the young master.

The system exclaimed, "The Ink Scale Whip, a Sea Clan Magical Artifact, has sharp scales, making even one strike unbearable, let alone forty-nine. They intend for Wei Jinmo to die."

"These Sea Clan beastmen are so ruthless."

"Given this situation, Wei Jinmo has to fight for that position—retreating means death, advancing offers a slim chance."

"But the prerequisite for competing for that position is strength; only with formidable strength can others be deterred."

Su Muyao said decisively, "I will help him."

She wants to become strong and then assist Wei Jinmo.

When she previously promised Wei Jinmo this, it wasn’t an empty statement—it was her sincere thought.

Su Muyao looked at Wei Dong and said, "So we must not delay; we have to see him as soon as possible. I have a Healing Ability and can heal him."

Wei Dong said, "I am thinking to create chaos to lure the guards surrounding the Merfolk Court away, and then use manpower and Magic Artifacts to clear a path. This would make a big commotion, but as long as we leave the Sea Clan, it will be fine. The Sea Clan and the major land forces signed the Heavenly Dao Agreement long ago, not interfering with one another."

Su Muyao said, "No, that’s too much of a loss. Since it’s impossible to enter around the Merfolk Court, is there another way, or could we enter from underground?"

Su Muyao believes solutions are devised by people.

Wei Dong seemed to think of something and hesitated to speak.

Seeing him like this, Su Muyao said sharply, "Wei Dong, at this point, there’s no room for concealment; saving your young master is the priority."

Wei Dong felt as if Su Muyao’s eyes could see through everything.

Wei Dong spoke, "There is a place. It’s said that the land where the Merfolk Court was built connects underground to a sea area that was once a place of Sea Clan civilization’s glory, but reportedly ten thousand years ago, many things happened, and that place was engulfed by darkness. Now it’s the Dark Sea Area, devoid of life, abandoned, and sealed off from the rest of the sea by a Sealing Barrier. The Merfolk Court was established there to block the Dark Sea Area, preventing the darkness from spreading."

"The Sea Clan once tried to purify that sea area, but it didn’t work. It’s said that only a Beast God with pure purifying golden light can cleanse the dark aura." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Sea Clan beastmen who were unwilling to give up ventured into the sea area, but were attacked by darkness, causing their Spirit Sea to riot and bodies to mutate, leading to death."

"That place is thus called the Sea Clan Graveyard."

Hearing this, Su Muyao understood, "Then we can enter from this place without alerting any beastmen or sacrificing manpower."

The men Wei Jinmo entrusted to Wei Dong were likely his loyal followers painstakingly nurtured within the Sea Clan; they couldn’t be lost here.

"But..."

Su Muyao said, "I’ll be fine. I still must rescue Wei Jinmo—it’s decided."

Su Muyao’s words were not to be refuted.

"However, there’s another task for you. When I enter the Merfolk Court, ensure no one follows in."

Wei Dong nodded resolutely, "Don’t worry."

...

After arranging everything, Wei Dong quietly escorted Su Muyao to the Dark Sea Area’s border with his men.

From this border, Su Muyao could see darkness within, with storms swirling at times. Though it was the sea, it was not blue but black, desolate, yet with some abandoned buildings, likely Sea Clan structures from a long time ago.

It was not hard to see that this place was once Sea Clan’s prosperous land.

Su Muyao took out the Magic Artifact Wei Dong gave her and placed it in the corner, creating a vortex. She quickly entered it.

Upon entering, a dark whirlwind rushed towards Su Muyao, and the surrounding aura turned very cold.

Su Muyao was about to activate her Wood Element Ability, but before she could, the dark whirlwind and vegetation seemed to fear her and avoided her.

Su Muyao was stunned, "What’s happening?"

At that moment, she didn’t notice the glowing mark of the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast on her collarbone.

This light emitted a hint of dark pressure, so the dark aura didn’t dare to harm her.

The system was also amazed, "I don’t know, it’s strange. These dark elements seem to fear you, avoiding harm."

"What’s even stranger is that the mutated dark coral seaweed and plants are bowing to you. It’s eerie."

Su Muyao was unaware of her connection to Nalan Gui Xue. Although she later gave him a divorce letter, they had a close bonded relationship.

Testing, she swam forward for a while, finding no danger, which reassured her.

"If I can’t understand it, there’s no need to dwell on it—rescuing him is paramount now."

This spared her from using her Wood Element Superpower.

Thus, Su Muyao smoothly entered the Merfolk Court through the undersea passage.

Reaching the end, she opened a restriction, pushed a loose stone slab, and saw the corridor inside.

On either side of the corridor, every ten steps, there was an ice lamp, casting a ghostly blue light that filled the corridor with frigid cold.

"It’s really cold here."

The system said, "Normally, merfolk can’t stand the cold; such low temperatures are meant for Wei Jinmo."

"No wonder the Merfolk Court is at the Dark Sea Area’s border, letting the cold seep in constantly."

"Fortunately, the dark aura automatically avoids you, so you didn’t feel cold."

"But nobody expected that, previously using the Wood Element Ability, you treated Wei Jinmo’s body, making him invulnerable to cold."
