Chapter 613 - 609: Immortal Body Origin
Su Muyao spoke with an uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy in her voice.
At this moment, she tightly embraced his waist, burying her face into his chest, holding him as if trying to embed herself into his body and soul.
Holding him like this, she could clearly feel the warmth of his chest.
It allowed her to truly feel that he was genuinely back alive, not an illusion.
Yue Wuhen was somewhat inexperienced with hugging, so when he embraced her, his movements were as gentle as treating the most precious and fragile object in the world.
Her purple eyes were full of tenderness and affection.
Listening to her words, he was emotionally moved, gently stroking her back with his hand, soothing her emotions.
The once barren fields of his heart seemed to be showered with warm spring rain, nourishing the heart, with a continuous warm flow passing through.
Hearing Su Muyao’s words, Yue Wuhen was deeply touched.
Listening to her words one by one, his arms gradually tightened with force, yet ensuring not to hurt her.
His purple eyes also slightly glistened with red; he sighed softly, resting his chin gently on the top of her hair, feeling the softness of her strands.
"I heard your call, so I came back."
"I’m sorry, I came back late and made you worried."
Actually, at the moment of sacrifice, he thought he couldn’t come back, he even imagined himself completely dissipating between heaven and earth.
At that time, his only thought was to save her, to let her live again, and for this, he was willing to pay any cost.
Actually, his affection for her had taken root and sprouted uncontrollably from the first meeting.
It was just that he wasn’t good at expressing, and she already had an excellent Beast Husband by her side; he felt perhaps she didn’t need him.
He didn’t want to impose on Su Muyao, of course.
After sacrificing, when his Divine Soul dissipated into heaven and earth, it was unconscious, while completely returning to void.
He seemed faintly to sense a weak attachment, like a familiar voice calling to him from afar.
It was as if something was pulling him, preventing him from completely returning to void, giving him a trace of faint consciousness.
When his Divine Soul scattered in heaven and earth and regrouped again, he realized that as a Pure-blooded Beastman of the Witch Clan, he possessed Heavenly Gifted Witch Blood, with Divine Power beyond earthly comparison, differing from regular Beastmen.
His Divine Soul was extraordinarily resilient compared to ordinary people.
Thus, in a muddled state, there would be a trace of consciousness.
Of course, this faint consciousness required a strong bond to awaken.
And the call and determination from Su Muyao became the opportunity for his Divine Soul to regroup, supporting him in crossing the borderline of life and death, being reborn, and then returning to her side.
He never thought that upon rebirth and return, he would receive her concern and love.
He thought his feelings were one-sided, yet did not know she cared about him as well.
Su Muyao heard his apologetic tone and felt more pained in her heart; she shook her head and said, "Don’t say that."
"You did nothing wrong; it’s great you came back, no matter when you return, I am waiting for you."
"And you rescued me again this time."
If it weren’t for Yue Wuhen this time, Su Muyao dared not imagine whether she would be killed by that female.
Yue Wuhen gently stroked her hair, softly tidying her strands, "Don’t worry, it’s alright now."
"I will guard by your side, protecting you, always."
Upon being reborn, Yue Wuhen understood some truths.
He must stay by her side, not wait until she needs him.
Waiting until she needs him could be too late then.
The last time he sensed something and found her, she was already gone.
The pain of that instance, he never wanted to experience again.
Hearing these words, Su Muyao slowly emerged from Yue Wuhen’s embrace, looked up at him, and said joyfully, "Alright, you said it this time, don’t leave."
Yue Wuhen’s purple eyes shimmered, "Hmm, I won’t leave, wherever you are, there I will be."
In this world, she is his attachment.
Su Muyao smiled, showing curved brows and bright eyes.
At this moment, the heartbeats of both tightly aligned, hearts closely bonded together.
Yue Wuhen could feel a warm flow from his heart spreading, flowing through limbs and bones, dispelling the former coldness and indifference in his heart, making him grasp emotion, understand love.
Actually, upon returning to the Divine Domain, Beast Gods may become indifferent, but Witch Clan Beastmen are the opposite.
Pure-blooded Beastmen need to understand emotion and love to gain recognition from the Witch Clan Seal and have a chance to become the Witch Clan Leader.
In the Witch Clan, there is a saying: only those who understand love possess love can comprehend all Beastmen in the Beast World and protect them better.
Therefore, every generation’s Pure-blooded Beastmen of the Witch Clan, as successor candidates, must live anonymously in society after coming of age to experience worldly emotions.
This is the Witch Clan’s trial, and only those who succeed will be recognized by the Witch Clan Seal.
Yue Wuhen pondered, maybe this is his trial too.
Only initially he didn’t understand, now he understands love.
Holding Su Muyao, Yue Wuhen discovered the issue with her body; his complexion changed, slightly released her from his embrace, lowered his head to carefully inspect her condition, "Your body has become weak."
Su Muyao didn’t intend to hide this from Yue Wuhen, "You noticed it, huh."
She was indeed weak at that time; even though through absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Stone, her power barely restored a little, enough to not be completely powerless.
The power she regained now was approximately Level 3, which made Su Muyao feel helpless.
Yue Wuhen’s purple eyes showed a look of tenderness.
He didn’t know precisely what happened after the sacrifice, hence seeing her body so frail made him more concerned.
"Hmm, your body temperature is low; let me carefully examine you first."
Su Muyao nodded.
Yue Wuhen gently held her wrist, and the unique Perception of the Witch Clan spread out from his fingertips.
Contrary to Superpower User’s Spiritual Power probing, his Perception carried an ancient and profound aura unique to the Witch Clan, capable of exploring the origin.
Moments later, Yue Wuhen’s purple eyes trembled, his face showed a serious expression.
Seeing Yue Wuhen’s face not looking good, Su Muyao couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"
"Has the Power dissipated greatly?"
"Initially I felt powerless; even getting off the bed made me feel dizzy; it was thanks to absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Stone that I recovered some strength."
Yue Wuhen explained softly: "It’s not a weakness issue, but that part of your Immortal Body Origin is missing."
"You are fundamentally an Immortal Beast Body, with Immortal Beast Blood Power flowing deep in your veins; now the lack of Immortal Body Origin causes the blockage of this Immortal Beast Blood Power, leading to the dissipation of your superpower ability. The power absorbed from the Spirit Stone is merely external power, it would eventually disperse over time."
Su Muyao’s face changed hearing this, "What to do?"
"Is it because of my childbirth of the Snake Child?"
Even if it’s so, Su Muyao doesn’t regret; she loves the child.
If her Immortal Body Origin is missing, given to the child to keep the child complete, she is willing.
