Chapter 892 - 878: Chaos and Clarity

At this moment, Wen Nanxi was clearly going crazy thinking about Su Muyao, but he didn’t dare approach the house.

He needed to calm down.

He feared that if he got close, he wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to possess her.

Because of the crazy thoughts and emotions, Wen Nanxi emitted a wave of dark aura all around him.

"I mustn’t harm her, not even a little bit."

Actually, this mindset was also due to the lingering thoughts after Nan Feng disappeared.

His consciousness had been erased, but his final feelings remained.

That love, regret, reluctance, and even remorse, all stayed in Wen Nanxi’s consciousness.

As for Jing Chu, his consciousness remained completely.

But afterwards, Jing Chu fell into a deep sleep, his consciousness asleep, with no idea when he’d awaken.

This situation is probably related to the heavy injuries received after Ascension God.

In the Trial Ground, Jing Chu expended a huge amount of power.

After that, it was his consciousness.

No one knows how much time passed when Wen Nanxi fell unconscious in the Holy Lake.

Snake Beastmen actually sleep for very long durations.

During sleep, they can also repair their bodies.

...

This sleep, Su Muyao slept very well.

When she woke up, female Snake Beastmen came to help her freshen up.

After freshening up, Su Muyao hadn’t seen Wen Nanxi yet, so she asked, "Where’s Wen Nanxi?"

The female Snake Beastman, hearing Su Muyao refer to Wen Nanxi by his full name, was so frightened that she couldn’t hold her things steady and suddenly knelt to the ground.

"Forgive me, Queen."

Seeing the female Snake Beastman trembling with fear, Su Muyao quickly helped her up, "You’re afraid, afraid of Wen Nanxi, why?"

"We... we cannot mention the King’s name."

"The King despises females."

"And the King is very powerful."

They had all witnessed when Demon Beasts attacked in the Green Snake Tribe.

Their King was very strong, killing all those Demon Beasts.

Although the King was injured, his manner of slaying Demon Beasts left them both terrified and awed.

Everyone knows the King despises females, so nobody dares to approach him.

Nor does anyone mention his name.

Everyone only refers to him as the King.

Moreover, the King’s bloodline pressure can intimidate all of them.

In the King’s presence, they involuntarily kneel.

Not to mention his name.

Mentioning his name requires them to kneel.

Su Muyao knew to adapt to local customs, not forcing a change in others’ thoughts.

While combing her hair, Su Muyao asked, "What did you experience at the Green Snake Tribe that you migrated here?"

Although Su Muyao had her suspicions, she still wanted to know more about Wen Nanxi.

"At that time, Demon Beasts suddenly attacked the tribe, many were winged Demon Beasts, we Snake Beastmen are not very skilled at dealing with flying Demon Beasts."

"Luckily, we had our King. Our King has Level 9 Superpower strength and can control wind; Demon Beasts were not his match."

"But our King was too severely injured, using Level 9 Superpower strength causes him to suffer from Beast Power backlash. Every time he uses his ability, he must endure immense pain."

"Also, our clan doctor said the King’s Spirit Sea is always on the verge of collapsing."

"Actually, as long as... as long as the King is willing to contract with a female, it could alleviate his state, but the King would rather not, refusing any female to get close."

They were truly afraid the King would encounter trouble.

"Only the King can protect us Snake Beastmen; with the King around, he can escort us safely here."

"This place cannot be approached without a Snake Beastman guide, nor can its path be found."

Snake Beastmen are not well-received, if not for the King’s protection, they could not have safely arrived here.

In front of them was a female, the King’s beloved, his wife.

She must serve her well and hope she saves the King.

Yet she had never seen such a gentle and beautiful female.

Looking at her, the female couldn’t help but feel affection.

No wonder the King always remembered her.

Only, she was an outsider female; would she despise the King?

Outsiders generally don’t like Snake Beastmen much.

But there were some words she dared not ask.

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao couldn’t listen any longer; her expression changed, "Please tell me, where’s your King now?"

Su Muyao didn’t want to delay a single moment; she needed to find Wen Nanxi immediately.

The journey had consumed too much of her Wood Element Ability; without it, she couldn’t have traveled the desert to get here.

But after resting well, her Wood Element Ability had recovered.

"At the Holy Lake, though it’s the Forbidden Land, nobody can approach it, besides..."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Su Muyao had already run outside.

She didn’t care about any Holy Lake or not; she needed to find Wen Nanxi.

Su Muyao could sense the direction to find Wen Nanxi.

Although the Holy Lake is the Forbidden Land, Su Muyao was entirely unaffected and entered directly.

Then, amidst the waters, she saw Wen Nanxi’s figure.

He lay unconscious, floating on the water.

And he had reverted to his true form.

Seeing this scene, Su Muyao was completely frightened.

"Nanxi, Nanxi..."

Su Muyao leaped into the water, swam to Wen Nanxi’s side, and held him tightly, "Nanxi!"

She embraced Wen Nanxi, trembling as she reached to check his breathing. She felt his breath, and only then was Su Muyao somewhat relieved.

But his body was cold, not normal temperature cold.

The lake water was cold as well.

Su Muyao quickly catalyzed her Wood Element Ability, channeling it into Wen Nanxi’s body.

Level 4 Wood Ability can heal internal and external injuries.

But Beast Power backlash and the Spirit Sea currently couldn’t be resolved; to truly solve it, contracting was necessary.

But she couldn’t contract alone.

She needed Wen Nanxi to awaken.

"Nanxi, wake up..."

In his deep sleep and pain, Wen Nanxi felt a warm, soothing aura.

Originally, the pain caused by the Beast Power backlash was so intense he couldn’t move without pain.

This pain dragged his consciousness back and forth between chaos and lucidity.

As he was being dragged into this boundless pain, a clear, warm sensation, like the sun, silently spread through his cold limbs and bones.

Experiencing this long-lost aura, Wen Nanxi’s body shuddered deeply.

"Ayao, wife..."

This was his wife’s aura.

The aura of her Wood Element Ability.

He still remembered feeling this aura for the first time in that dwelling in the Beiluo Tribe.

She had wrapped him in Wood Element Ability, saving him, driving away all his cold and pain.

The warmth gently coursed through his meridians, a comfort washing over him like tidal waves.

All his exhaustion and pain seemed to be relieved.

So warm and comfortable that he even felt joy.

Internal injuries and external wounds were disappearing.

In his chaos, he couldn’t resist greedily absorbing the aura belonging to her.

Gradually, he relaxed his body in comfort.

All his defenses vanished.

He let the warmth completely engulf him.

Unconsciously, he only wanted to immerse himself in this aura, feeling his wife’s breath and warmth, not wanting to awaken.

"Nanxi, Nanxi... wake up, it’s me..."

"Nanxi, I need you; don’t sleep; wake up..."

At this moment, Su Muyao couldn’t enter Wen Nanxi’s Spiritual Sea.

Perhaps because his Spiritual Sea was severely collapsing.

She needed to awaken him.

Wen Nanxi heard the urgent voice faintly while he slept deeply; that was his wife’s voice.

He seemed to hear her distressed tone; how could he bear to let her be upset?

So Wen Nanxi exerted effort and opened his eyes.
