Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 691

Chapter 691: Banquet Chaos Chapter 691: Banquet Chaos After soaking in the Mystic Pond, Shenlian Yingyue and Huang Bai Xing were led to a room, where each of them was given a new set of hanfu.

The princess hosted the banquet for them.

The banquet hall was distinct from the ones they had attended at the Purple Amethyst Sect and the Huang family.

Here, the entire hall was decorated in accordance with the Witchcraft clan’s traditions, and the dishes were also unique.

Inside the grand hall, only the princess and several important figures were present to welcome Shenlian Yingyue and Huang Bai Xing.

“I’m not sure if these dishes meet your tastes,” the princess said.

“Today, I want to apologize to everyone here for being rude to you.

Please accept our sincere apologies.” With a wave of her hand, two witches appeared, holding two wooden plates with two wooden boxes on them.

“Is this your sincere apology?” Huang Bai Xing leaned back against the soft pillow behind her, asking with a chuckle.

“You!!!” The wiccans and witches had never seen anyone being so rude to them.

They had sincerely apologized, but this woman was being rude to their princess.

“Hmm?” Huang Bai Xing raised an eyebrow.

“Look, my people can be a bit reckless.

Please don’t mind them; they’re just enthusiastic about my safety.” As the princess spoke, she gestured to her people.

She seemed to signal that they should stop arguing.

Shenlian Yingyue and Huang Bai Xing didn’t immediately take the wooden boxes offered to them.

Instead, they continued to savor the dishes and strange wine brewed by the Witchcraft clan’s members.

“Forgive me for not introducing myself earlier.

My name is Wu Ying, and I’m currently in charge of the clan’s affairs here,” Wu Ying, the princess, then introduced herself.

“Because both of you have trespassed into our territory, we have no choice but to take action against you,” Wu Ying said sternly.

“I like your dungeon,” Huang Bai Xing replied sarcastically.

“This is our rule,” Wu Ying responded calmly.

“You’re going to kill someone who accidentally wandered into your territory?

What if someone got lost and didn’t mean to provoke you?” Huang Bai Xing thought she had seen cruel people before, but these individuals seemed even more ruthless.  “Rules are rules,” Wu Ying remained unyielding.  Shenlian Yingyue then opened the wooden box she had received.

Inside, she found a beautiful blue amulet crafted from blue quartz.

“These two amulets are sacred objects in our clan, crafted by our people,” Wu Ying explained, “If you wear them next time you come to our place, no one will harm you.” Shenlian Yingyue nodded and accepted the amulet, recognizing its value in allowing her to enter the Witchcraft clan in another world.

Huang Bai Xing, however, took the amulet indifferently and tossed it onto the table.

The couple’s indifferent reactions sparked suspicion among their hosts.

It was as if they didn’t value the precious gifts or appreciate the offer of a peaceful relationship with the Witchcraft clan.

People often fear what they don’t understand.

The world feared their powers, cursing them for their evil and blaming them for mastering the treacherous and despicable spells.  People were disgusted by their overpowering abilities, yet they were also envious and jealous of their uniqueness.  Many wished to have a good relationship with them, as who wouldn’t want to be friends with the strong?

In this world, power was both the priority and everyone’s weakness and desire.

Shenlian Yingyue took a sip of the strange wine brewed by the witches, asking, “What makes you change your mind and treat us with such kindness?” The wine tasted strange, with a flavor of fruits and herbs, but it was surprisingly delicious.

Instead of responding to her question, Wu Ying asked, “Mind introducing yourselves?” Shenlian Yingyue and Huang Bai Xing whispered in unison, “Just a nobody.” “What’s your purpose for visiting our clan?,” one of the wiccans asked.

“I just want to ask some questions,” Shenlian Yingyue replied, looking at them.

However, they were taken aback.

They thought these two women had come to cause trouble in their clan.

Shenlian Yingyue placed her slender hand on her face, and a moment later, strange inscription letters and symbols appeared, covering half of her face.

The sudden display of mystical markings sent everyone into a state of vigilance.

Huang Bai Xing noticed the group’s tense breaths, and her lips curled faintly as she drained the wine from her glass.

Shenlian Yingyue also noticed their tense breaths.  In fact, her face was once cured by Dongfang Moqing, but she had allowed him to remove the cure in order to uncover the truth and find Diyu’s enemies.

Dongfang Moqing possessed a method to make the inscription appear and disappear at will.

“What have you done to him?” one of the witches exclaimed, her reaction more pronounced than the others.  The inscription belonged to her brother, and she had never heard from him since he went out to do something.

She immediately felt a bad premonition.

As everyone watched, she rushed out and returned shortly, her voice trembling as she announced, “My brother is dead!” The faces of Wu Ying and everyone else behind the illusion changed.  “I accidentally killed him because he insulted my friend after he ruined my face,” Shenlian Yingyue replied, although she didn’t intend to kill him – only knock him unconscious.

Unfortunately, her strength was too great, and he ended up dead.

The witch was furious and instantly vowed to kill Shenlian Yingyue.

She didn’t care about right or wrong; all she knew was that her brother was gone.

Rushing over, no one stopped her.

“How dare you kill him?,” shouting, everyone else stood up with murderous intent.

Wu Ying’s expression turned grim.

This situation was grave.  The Witchcraft clan was notorious for its overprotectiveness of its members, and regardless of what they had done, outsiders would never be allowed to harm them.

Shenlian Yingyue and Huang Bai Xing sat down on the pillow, seemingly calm.

Just before the witch’s power touched her, Shenlian Yingyue snapped her fingers, neutralizing the witch’s attack.

The witch refused to give up.

She chanted a spell, summoning dark elements to kill Shenlian Yingyue.
