Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 718

Chapter 718: Ji Fulin’s Story Chapter 718: Ji Fulin’s Story [X City, The Elite Zone] The Elite Zone is situated in a district of X City, where the wealthy and influential gather and reside.  Ordinary people are not allowed to enter without permission.

Even government officials and high-ranking authorities must behave politely and conduct themselves with decorum when they step into this area.  The buildings here are far more impressive and luxurious than any others in the world.

The roads and streets are meticulously clean, with not a trace of dirt in sight.  All the structures are constructed from high-quality glass and materials.

The trees are planted in an orderly fashion, and the zone prohibits tourism, preventing outsiders from visiting despite the countless attractions available.  On the roads, many vehicles traverse the area, all of which are among the most expensive modes of transportation in the world.

In terms of development, this zone leads the way.

It gives the impression of living in a futuristic world, as its technology is extraordinarily advanced.

Xie Xie looked around with curiosity, tightly gripping Shenlian Yingyue’s sleeve while scanning his surroundings vigilantly.

He resembled an alert beast, ready to spring forward and confront anything that threatened his master.

“Relax, Xie Xie,” Shenlian Yingyue said, patting his broad shoulder.

“Master, what are those monsters…?” Xie Xie asked, his voice tinged with childlike curiosity.

His golden and black pupils surveyed the vehicles on the road with skepticism.

“They’re not monsters; they’re vehicles.

People use them for travel,” she patiently explained as she stepped out of the train station.

“Are they like beasts for riding?” Xie Xie asked, his gaze fixed on the fastest sports car on the road.

“Those are not monsters; they are machines created by humans,” Shenlian Yingyue continued, glancing around.

She wondered what Ji Fulin had done to obtain the special permission to enter this zone.

What steps had he taken?

“Young Master, is that you?” Just as she and Huang Bai Xing were exploring the area, a figure in a black suit rushed over.

“Uncle, it’s good to see you!” Ji Fulin replied with a light smile, waving his hand.

Today, he wore glasses and a suit that made him look like a true gentleman.

The man who rushed over appeared to be in his early forties.

He was dressed in a butler suit and tie, looking very tidy and professional.

Shenlian Yingyue and Huang Bai Xing could tell that this man was someone significant to Ji Fulin.

Indeed, this butler had cared for Ji Fulin for over twenty years.

Since Ji Fulin’s birth, the butler had attended to his daily needs.

He was like a second father to Ji Fulin.

Ji Fulin’s parents were preoccupied with their trillion-dollar businesses, leaving them little time to come home or take care of him.

However, they never failed to provide everything Ji Fulin needed.

The butler devoted all his time to Ji Fulin, teaching him about various aspects of life.

“Where have you been all these years, young master?

You’ve disappeared for nearly ten years.

We thought…

we thought…” The butler’s voice trembled as he choked back tears, his face weary.

He gazed at his young master with deep emotion.

Although Ji Fulin appeared the same, he seemed more mature and had grown more charming than before.

What had happened to him over those years?

“Uncle, please calm down; I will explain everything.

Let’s find a place to settle down first,” Ji Fulin reassured the middle-aged man.

Soon, they were invited to a house not far from the Ji family’s castle.

This house had been built for the butler by Ji Fulin on his seventieth birthday, as a token of gratitude for his years of care.

After a lengthy conversation, the butler could only sigh in distress, feeling both thankful and troubled.

Of course, Ji Fulin did not reveal the truth: that he had disappeared due to a car accident that resulted in his death, and that his soul had been transmitted into the body of another Ji Fulin, the prince of the Ji Clan in another universe.

That year, he had been involved in a car crash.

He had become a numb person, unable to wake up or move.

One day, nobody knew what had happened to Young Master Ji; his body vanished from the Ji Castle, and no one had heard anything about him since.

Despite the Ji family’s extensive efforts and resources to find Ji Fulin, they had received no news.

Most people assumed he had died.

“I remember just before I fell asleep, someone tried to attack me in the castle that year.

I attempted to escape and fell out of the window, only to be rescued by an elderly couple.

After that, I lost my memory, but then I suddenly found I could move and speak again.” “I recently regained my memory and contacted you last night.” Ji Fulin fabricated a story that was partly true and partly false.

The truth was that his body had suffered severe damage from the accident, and he had died.

Before he passed away, he didn’t want everyone to be sad, so he fought hard to move, jumped out of his room’s window, and crawled to a hidden place that was off-limits to everyone.

He believed no one would find his corpse, as even his grandfather dared not enter that forbidden area.

“Young master, do you remember the person who attacked you?” The butler’s voice was extremely cold as he pounded the table in frustration.

He blamed himself for leaving the young master alone under the care of the maids while he went out to run some errands.

“Don’t worry, uncle.

I’ve already taken care of that person,” Ji Fulin began to spin a tale.

“Sigh…

it’s a relief that you’re alright now, young master.

By the way, who are those elderly couple?

I’ll report this news to the lord and lady so they can express their gratitude to them.” The butler’s eyes sparkled with a bright smile.

In the past, he had considered suicide, blaming himself for not taking better care of the young master.

He had never slept well and lived in constant guilt.

“They’re living well now, uncle.

I’ve taken good care of them.

You don’t need to blame yourself.

Over the years, I’ve learned a lot and gained many new experiences,” Ji Fulin said gently, smiling at the butler, who beamed with happiness.

“The old lord and lady will be overjoyed to hear the news about you, young master.” The butler clasped his hands together, speaking with enthusiasm.
