Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 570

Chapter 570: Taboo Love Chapter 570: Taboo Love His robe was messy, revealing his well-built chest muscles and his smooth, white skin as snow.

His face was ruddy, and his flesh was hot.

She immediately knew that he didn’t use his spiritual power to digest the spiritual wine.  She stood up and went to the kitchen to make something for him.

“Brother, can you hear me?” She woke him up to let him digest the spiritual wine and eat something.

(Do I use ‘digest’ correctly here?)  “Yue’er… It’s so painful…

here.” He muttered to himself and kept calling her name.

Shenlian Yingyue hurriedly put her two fingers on his wrist and breathed a sigh of relief that he was fine.

However, she smelled the gloomy breath in this room, and Shenlian Yinzhu refused to open his eyes.  As she was thinking if she should force the wine out of his body by herself, the drunk man suddenly opened his eyes.

The plum, purple, and golden eyes were hazy, as if the heavy fog was shrouding inside.  “Yue’er, you’re finally here.” He showed a smile and raised his hand to stroke her face, wanting to feel her presence.  He suddenly pulled her over, and her slender body was pressed against his.

She had no vigilance towards everyone here; hence, she was easily pulled by him.

“Don’t leave me alone; don’t fall in love with them…

It’s hard to breathe.” He held her body tightly and suddenly changed the posture as he was the one pressing on top of her.

His jade-like, slender fingers meticulously caressed her face as if he wanted to confirm that she was now in his arms.

She was his.

Instead of forcing her, like he did when he first met her, he only put his face on her neck to feel her warmth.  “Yue’er, it’s good that you’re in my arms.” He brushed the tip of his nose and lips on her skin.

“Brother, get up and speak with me.” She patted his back, and her spiritual power was injected inside of his body carefully.

As soon as he showed a sign of resistance, she immediately took back her spiritual power.

Cultivators would not allow others to inject their spiritual powers inside of them.

Doing so would make others easily attack them.

Unless they trusted someone to the extreme, they would allow them to do so.

Even if he was not sober now, his instincts told him that he must not do something hurtful to the person he loved dearly in his arms.  He was familiar with her gentle spiritual power, so he didn’t stop her gentleness from invading him.

Shenlian Yingyue finally focused on digesting the spiritual wine with her spiritual power.

None of the alcohol was left.  After she did that, she wanted to feed him the Spiritual Water to make sure that he was sober.

“Brother, wake up.” Alcohol was gone, but he didn’t wake up yet.  “Yue’er, tell me, what should I do?

I really love you.” Shenlian Yinzhu sighed softly.

“Brother, what kind of love are you talking about?” Forgive her for being stupid; she didn’t dare to think too deeply.

She knew that everyone loved her the same, but their meaning of love was different from the love she felt for them.  “Yue’er, we’re brother and sister, aren’t we?” He asked her softly.

“Yes, we are.” She nodded rapidly.  “Then, tell me, is it wrong to fall in love with my own sister?” Shenlian Yinzhu smiled bitterly.  “It’s unacceptable for the siblings to fall in love with each other.

It’s a taboo, and the world won’t accept it because it may defy cultural, religious, or societal norms.” Shenlian Yingyue responded according to the knowledge she gained from society.  Shenlian Yinzhu’s eyes dimmed.

His heart was extremely painful.

A crystal glass broke, and he heard the sound of his heart shattered into pieces.  The metallic scent of blood spread to his nose, and his throat was gurgling with blood that was about to gush out.

He forcibly suppressed it, with blood-like eyes.

He didn’t care how the world looked at him.

He didn’t care about defying cultural, religious, or societal norms.

He didn’t care if others felt nauseous about him.

He only cared about her.

What did the world have to do with him?

When he was desperate, falling into the abyss of suffering, did the world care?

When he asked for their help, did anyone come to save him?

No, they did not.

They turned blind eyes to him for fear of offending those powerful beings.

Only Yue’er and his father stretched out their hands to him.

So why did he have to care about their opinions?

He wasn’t born to be a hero to get everyone’s recognition.

His heart was tiny; he only needed a person to fill it.  However, even if he didn’t care about their opinions, he cared about her.

He didn’t want the world to scorn her.

Yet he couldn’t suppress his blazing greed for wanting her to accept his love.

“Brother, what do you love about me?” She caressed his hair, using her spiritual power to calm him down.

“Your soul and imperfections.” Short response, but as bottomless as an infinite ocean and boundless universe, he loved everything about her.  Shenlian Yingyue closed her eyes, thinking of the consequences of breaking the taboo rule, and her eyes opened.

“The body is just a shell; it is the soul that defines who we are.

We are siblings because of the blood that flows inside of us.

But our souls are not.

I love you; it’s your soul that I love.” She said it seriously.  This was her response to him, and she believed that he understood her well.  “Yue’er, is this your decision?” Shenlian Yinzhu’s eyes trembled.

Didn’t she care about how others looked at her?  “I can accept it if everyone despises me.

I can be a beast or fall to hell.

But I cannot breathe if I have to live to see my beloved brother live in pain every minute.” Her clear voice was like a soft petal brushing the tip of his heart.

“Thank you, Yue’er.

Thank you…” Two drops of crystal tears slid from his eyes.

Thank you for not turning your back on me.

Thank you for choosing me over the world.

Thank you for not ignoring my pain, Yue’er.

I only have you as my entire world, losing you feels like losing the hope to live.

To the world you may be one person; But to one person you may be the world.” ~ Dr. Seuss CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Littlecarrot The world is fine without Yueyue, but Yueyue is Zhuzhu’s entire world.

⸜(｡ ˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝ Cherish the people who LOVE and CARE for you.

You never know what life may bring.

Be Grateful, don’t worry about things you can’t control.

You cannot satisfy the world.
