Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Covering the Marks

Seeing Wei Dong, Su Muyao naturally thought of Wei Jinmo.

Wei Dong was Wei Jinmo’s trusted servant.

In the past, Su Muyao indeed didn’t want to deal with Wei Jinmo or Wei Dong.

But when she was treating soldiers before, she heard some things, like during this Northern Territory war, the reason Yun Qinglan could prepare early was partly because Wei Jinmo provided some critical clues and information.

Moreover, when the enemy attacked the city, Wei Jinmo also helped.

He even mobilized people from Beast Emperor City to protect many ordinary beastmen.

He didn’t care about his own safety.

During those ten-odd days, he was always helping defend the city.

Thinking of this, Su Muyao couldn’t sit by and do nothing; public matters were public, private matters were private.

Su Muyao, her expression heavy, said, "Stop crying first, tell me what’s wrong with your master?"

Hearing Su Muyao’s words, Wei Dong was taken aback and stopped crying, with tears still hanging from his eyes.

In fact, when he came, he was prepared to be rejected by Miss Su.

Because earlier Miss Su detested them, never speaking a word to them, not even giving them a glance.

But now that his master is unconscious and in critical danger, he’s been seeking doctors everywhere with no solution to his master’s condition.

Finally, he had no choice but to come to Su’s Medical Hall. Even Qiu Fei, Miss Su’s first disciple, shook his head, saying maybe only his master had a way.

He could only come to plead with Miss Su now.

But when he came to find Miss Su, Mr. Wen said Miss Su was not here, and they didn’t know exactly where she had gone.

He could only wait here.

After several days, he finally saw Miss Su.

Wei Dong wiped his tears, choking, "My master already couldn’t adapt to the Northern Territory’s climate, living here for so long. His body is weak, and he used his Bloodline Power defending the city, severely injured by the Dark Beastmen, and we don’t even know what’s wrong with his body now, still unconscious, doctors can’t find any issues..."

"Taking my master to Beast Emperor City is too late."

"Miss Su, I beg you, I know my master indeed wronged you in Beast Emperor City before, but it wasn’t my master’s intention. It’s just that my master’s body is special, he couldn’t come to the Northern Territory, and the Wei Family wouldn’t allow him to. My master is the clan’s heir, but before he becomes the Family Head, he must listen to the Clan Elders and can’t act arbitrarily. He carries the responsibility and glory of the family..."

Wei Dong feared Su Muyao still held grudges, and while Miss Su was willing to talk, he quickly blurted out all this in a rush.

He didn’t pause, fearing Miss Su might interrupt, making it impossible for some things to be said.

When Su Muyao came to her senses, Wei Dong had already said a lot, and she quickly said, "Stop, no more, let bygones be bygones."

Wei Dong, afraid of angering Su Muyao, didn’t dare say more.

Just then, Xiao Jihan heard the commotion and came out from inside.

"Wife, you’re back."

During this time, he truly understood what longing meant, tormented by it, his heart restless, unable to sleep well at night.

Seeing Su Muyao return, Xiao Jihan’s anxious heart finally calmed down.

When Xiao Jihan got closer to Su Muyao, he noticed she had changed clothes. Although her clothes were high-necked, her neck still had some exposed areas, with several red marks on them.

No wonder her hair was left hanging by her face and not completely tied up; she wanted to cover those marks.

But precisely because of this, she was even more alluring.

It made one wonder what kind of marks her clothes were hiding.

This Shen Ci’an, he must have been pestering the wife for so many days.

He remembered from the day he formed the Contract with the wife that he cherished her, or else it wouldn’t have just been a hammock that broke so simply.

Xiao Jihan felt a suffocating sourness rising in his chest, as if something had gripped him, leaving him somewhat stifled.

A wolf tail emerged from behind him, coiling around Su Muyao’s waist and pulling her into his arms.

Su Muyao couldn’t stand steadily at this moment, leaning into Xiao Jihan’s embrace, tightly held by him.

"Wife, are you okay?"

He looked at her with a tender and considerate gaze, his previously cold eyes now filled only with affection.

Holding his wife, he felt his heart was still alive.

"I’m fine."

The reason her legs were weak was that she had been entangled by Shen Ci’an on the way back.

She took a deep breath, channeling her Wood Element Ability into her legs. Now that she had a Level 9 Superpower, the Spiritual Power within her was vast.

Xiao Jihan looked down at the red marks on Su Muyao’s neck and rasped, "With all these days, have you forgotten about us?"

"These days I’ve been eating poorly, sleeping poorly, and even my mental state is disturbed. Without the wife, I might fall into a state of mental frenzy."

Su Muyao hurriedly reached out to check Xiao Jihan’s pulse, "Is it acting up again?"

"Let me calm you down first."

Now that Su Muyao’s powers were strong, it didn’t take long to soothe Xiao Jihan.

Wei Dong was still kneeling there, mourning for his master. In Miss Su’s eyes, his master indeed seemed insignificant.

After calming Xiao Jihan, Su Muyao looked around the house, seemingly seeking Wen Nanxi and Hua Linye.

Xiao Jihan, knowing the wife still worried about them, explained, "They’re at the pharmacy now, and many people are ordering medicine from us, so they’re there helping out."

"We’ve been taking turns watching the house these past few days."

Waiting for the wife’s return.

Su Muyao was reassured.

There wasn’t much going on at home, and her legs were no longer weak; she had regained her strength and looked at Wei Dong, saying, "Let’s go, lead the way."

Wei Dong immediately understood that Su Muyao was willing to check on his master’s condition, nearly jumping up in excitement, "Miss Su, I brought a carriage, please."

As Su Muyao was about to get into the carriage, Shen Ci’an stepped forward, supporting her hand, "Wife, let me take you there."

"No need, I’ll go on my own, you all stay home."

She now had a Level 9 Superpower and the ability to protect herself.

Seeing Su Muyao insist, Shen Ci’an could only sigh, looking at her with a lingering gaze, whispering, "Then I’ll wait here for you, I’ll miss you."

Su Muyao dropped the curtain, not looking at Shen Ci’an because she had been too sensitive from being tormented these past days; she needed a break.

...

The carriage soon stopped at the courtyard where Wei Jinmo lived.

This was a residence of Wei Jinmo’s within Yunxiao City.

Wei Dong respectfully invited Su Muyao inside.

At this moment, Wei Jinmo’s subordinate guards, seeing Su Muyao, all automatically lowered their heads.

Once they had looked down on Miss Su, and now they felt deeply embarrassed.

They knew about Miss Su’s deeds in the Northern Territory; two of them had seen firsthand how outstanding she was.

The people and soldiers of the Northern Territory had been discussing Miss Su, and she had won their hearts.

They felt distressed for their master.

Su Muyao could sense the change in everyone’s attitude, but she didn’t care.

Soon she arrived at Wei Jinmo’s room.

There was a doctor by the bed, ensuring Mr. Wei’s life was not at risk.

Su Muyao walked to the bedside and, seeing Wei Jinmo lying there, memories of her past life flooded back.

"Wei Jinmo, you’re different from them, aren’t you? You wouldn’t forcibly break the Beast Husband Contract, right?"

"Why, why do you also want to leave, do you dislike me too? Ah... please don’t go..."

"Wei Jinmo, you are my Beast Husband, I won’t allow you to leave, ah, you are mine, mine..."

"I hate you all, you are mine, if you dare to leave, I will never let you go, I will kill those you care about."

The image of her hysterical and extreme craziness from her past life flashed through her mind.

Back then, she spoke with threats laced in anger, without any filter.

At that time, Wei Jinmo didn’t say anything to provoke her; he was very silent, but when he left, he also didn’t look back.

As if to him, she was just an insignificant person.
