Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 405 - 404: Mastermind
Wei Jinmo controlled the sea with one hand to deal with the approaching guards, while tightly interlocking fingers with Su Muyao with the other.
Su Muyao thought about helping, but she had no place to use her skills.
As he walked forward, he also matched her pace, neither fast nor slow.
At the same time, an awe-inspiring aura surged around him, under his power, the sea could be controlled at will.
He could even manifest sharp hidden weapons.
Su Muyao’s eyes lit up as she watched this scene, thinking that Wei Jinmo was truly charming at this moment.
The system in Su Muyao’s ear excitedly said, "Host, this Wei Jinmo is too handsome, too good-looking, too domineering, even I, a system, find him extremely attractive."
"Having such a Wei Jinmo as your Beast Husband, Host, you’re not at a loss at all."
"Moreover, none of your Beast Husbands are Sea Beasts, and Wei Jinmo is from the Sea Clan, one of the noblest merfolk. The merfolk’s true form is so beautiful; accepting Wei Jinmo is undoubtedly the right choice, Host."
The system felt excited just watching Wei Jinmo and its host together.
It was a time of intense battle, yet the system talked about such things with her.
Su Muyao felt a bit speechless, but as she looked at Wei Jinmo now, exuding his aura and controlling the sea, as if a deity watching over autumn waters, with a jade-like figure.
Though he gave an impression of decorous elegance, inexplicably, it made people unable to look directly at him.
He had an indescribable aura around him; his garments fluttered, graceful demeanor, slightly divine, as if he did not belong to the mortal world.
Su Muyao lowered her head and looked at their interlocked fingers, the warmth of his palm transmitted through her hand, making her Heart String beat rapidly.
Wei Jinmo led Su Muyao down the long steps of the Merfolk Court, overturning all the guards trying to kill them.
"Ah..."
They fell to the ground in pain, unable to rise.
Despite their numbers, they couldn’t do anything to the Fifth Prince.
"How did the Fifth Prince suddenly heal, and his strength is still so formidable?"
Just then, the sea breeze surged with bone-chilling murderous intent.
Instinctively, Wei Jinmo shielded Su Muyao behind him, his superpower swirling around him, the hem of his dark robe lifted by an invisible force, his elegant and peerless eyes covered with Leng Shuang.
As he wielded his superpower, an invisible wave of energy isolated all the danger around them.
Soon after, several formidable figures descended with a fierce momentum.
Each represented a different faction, and they had brought many men with them, wearing scale armor and wielding fishbone knives, ready to fight at any moment.
One of the elders looked at Wei Jinmo and said, "Fifth Prince, you stole the Soul Gathering Pearl, making you a criminal of the Sea Clan. You should be in the Merfolk Court receiving your due punishment. Now that you’ve escaped and harmed so many people, even bringing along a mysterious female, do you plan to rebel?"
"Or do you intend to harm the entire Sea Clan, betray the Sea Clan? Even a Royal Family member must be executed."
"Today, we will punish you for the Sea Clan."
The elder said this to let all surrounding Beastmen hear.
He intended to incriminate Wei Jinmo to prepare for the upcoming slaughter.
Even if they killed Wei Jinmo now, they would not be in the wrong.
If he hadn’t stolen the soul lamp and escaped the Merfolk Court, he wouldn’t be deserving of death.
"Take him down, and remove him as a threat to the Sea Clan."
Su Muyao wanted to fight back, but Wei Jinmo whispered, "Rest assured, I’ll handle the Sea Clan’s matters."
He aspired to reach the pinnacle, offering the best to her, leaving her with nothing to worry about.
As a Beast Husband, he was meant to protect his wife, not let her worry and stress.
Wei Jinmo didn’t want to waste words or explain anything, because only success counts; no one would question his actions if he succeeded.
"Elder Qinglin, you can’t kill me, and likewise, the Second Prince won’t take that position."
Wei Jinmo’s words were calm, yet carried an air of confident dominance.
Elder Qinglin, the Second Prince’s uncle, was infuriated by these words, his eyes flashed with malice, "Attack, this is your moment to earn merit."
He believed dealing with a single Wei Jinmo didn’t require him to act.
The Shark Beast Clan warriors behind him leaped forth, each with lethal moves aimed at Wei Jinmo.
Wei Jinmo’s lips curved into a slight arc, not of mockery, but of calm composure.
He possessed an air of strategic foresight.
He didn’t form any seals, merely lifted a hand, and the sea wind whipped the waves into towering tides, a water wall tens of meters high rose like a majestic barrier, blocking them like a formidable shield against all danger.
The warriors’ fishbone knives struck the water wall, only splattering droplets, without leaving a single crack.
"Elder Qinglin, use all the means at your disposal."
Wei Jinmo’s voice was not loud, yet it carried a pressure that pierced the waves.
Meanwhile, he clenched his palm, and the water wall instantly transformed into countless sharp water arrows, densely showering down upon them.
"Protective Shield!"
Elder Qinglin’s team quickly formed a protective shield through their superpower, blocking the water arrows.
Even though they prepared, the water arrows pierced through their shield.
"Ah..."
"Ah..."
In an instant, screams echoed.
Many Seventeenth Level warriors died on the spot.
Elder Qinglin’s face changed drastically upon seeing this.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I underestimated you."
"Quickly form a formation!"
Elder Qinglin commanded, and the warriors altered their tactics, blue patterns lit up underfoot, the sea churned violently, countless water blades shot from the formation, like a torrential storm, towards Wei Jinmo.
Su Muyao’s expression changed, instinctively worried for Wei Jinmo.
She wanted to activate her superpower to help, but heard Wei Jinmo speak in a gentle voice, "Don’t worry, it’s fine." His voice remained soft, yet his aura suddenly surged.
The pressure of a Level 20 Superpower spread like a tsunami, he could easily control the sea.
Wei Jinmo raised his hand towards the Water Blade Formation, and the sea within it suddenly transformed into water ropes, intending to bind the warriors within the formation.
They struggled desperately, but no matter how they activated their superpowers, they couldn’t break free of the indestructible water bindings.
Moreover, the water bindings tightened, like ropes fully entangling them.
They couldn’t resist.
Soon after, the water ropes sprouted spikes, piercing directly into their bodies, killing them instantly.
"Ah..."
Elder Qinglin looked at Wei Jinmo in shock, "You...how did your strength increase so fast?"
"What heaven-defying Secret Technique did you use?"
In Elder Qinglin’s view, for Wei Jinmo to recover and gain such strength in a short time, he must have used some Secret Technique.
But this Secret Technique must have severe side effects, very damaging to a Beastman.
Because in his understanding, there was no method to improve this fast in such a short time.
Even, at this moment, he thought Wei Jinmo’s strength might have reached Level 19.
Since he himself was Level 19, he couldn’t see Wei Jinmo’s Level 20 strength.
In his understanding, someone so young couldn’t possibly break through to the challenging Level 20 superpower strength.
Wei Jinmo dealt with the warriors in front of Elder Qinglin and immediately controlled the sea to attack him.
Elder Qinglin quickly joined the battle, meanwhile advising the leaders of other factions nearby, "You all, don’t hold back. If he escapes, imagine what he would do."
"He is our greatest threat; once we kill him, all other matters rely on our individual skills."
Elder Qinglin was naturally referring to the princes they each supported.
First, eliminate Wei Jinmo, the greatest threat, then rely on individual skills to support their respective princes in vying for the position of Crown Prince.
