Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 787

Chapter 787: If Only Our Families Had A Different Story [Unexpected Kiss] Chapter 787: If Only Our Families Had A Different Story [Unexpected Kiss] It caused her deep emotional turmoil.

It was as if she were being torn in two, her heart aching with the pain of losing her master, even as her mind screamed that it was the right thing to do.  The knowledge that the person she loved and respected was destined to be her enemy, that their paths were fated to cross in violence and war, only added to her pain.

“Shenlian Yingyue, I command you to stop!

Can’t you hear me?

Don’t look at me like that!

Don’t speak to me in this way!” Xiong Zi Ying’s voice cracked, revealing the depth of his desperation.

Anger surged within him, yet there was an undercurrent of pleading, a vulnerability that made his words tremble.

This was the first time he had called her by her full name, as if in that moment he recognized the entirety of her being.

“Master, I love my father more than anything in the world,” she said, her voice quivering with emotion.

She was crying inside, her soul was screaming in pain.

Every fiber of her being fought against cutting this connection, but she knew that it was a sacrifice she had to make for the greater good.

“I never wanted this outcome.

If only our families had a different story-if only our clans could live in harmony!

I wish my father hadn’t been the one to take your brother’s life or played a part in the downfall of the Xiong Clan.” As she spoke, her eyes squeezed shut, trying to block out the torrent of hurt and regret that threatened to overwhelm her.

“But I can’t change the past,” she continued, her voice becoming firmer.

“And I will not let anyone paint my father as a villain in my heart.

My loyalty and love for him run deep, and I will not let anything come between us.

If anyone dares to attack him, they will have to go through me first, even if that person is you.” As she opened her eyes, her eyes turned cold, but a hint of struggle and indescribable pain flashed in those pair of usually serene mesmerizing eyes.

She spoke of her father with pride and admiration, she made it clear that she would not allow anyone to harm her father or paint him in a negative light, and that she would defend him with everything she had.

As she spoke, his heart grew heavy with anger, sorrow, regret, guilt, and a crushing sense of defeat.

He felt his blood boil with indignation, resentment, and a burning sense of injustice as she continued to berate him.

Her words cut him deep, filling him with a sense of despair, hopelessness, desperation, and an unrelenting fury.

“Shenlian Yingyue!!!” Xiong Zi Ying’s jaw clenched in rage as he struggled to restrain himself from lashing out at her.

He didn’t know what to do, what to speak, because he couldn’t think of a better outcome at all.

Either way, they were destined to draw sword at each other to protect and avenge their loved ones.  Was this how it would all end?

He couldn’t bear the thought of it – ending things with her felt impossible, and he dreaded the idea of severing the bond they shared.

The thought of facing her father, of having to hurt her, made his stomach twist in knots.

He didn’t want to think about the day she would look at him as if he were a stranger, her eyes cold and guarded, as if he might become her enemy.

He wanted to protect the trust and comfort she had built around him, and he just couldn’t bear the idea of losing it!

Xiong Zi Ying’s face was a mix of emotions, his breath uneven, as if he might break down at any moment.

But she showed no sign of wanting to connect with him, as if she had already made up her mind.

It felt like a choice that would push them to a place they could never come back from, a choice that would keep him forever distant from her.

Inside him, Xiong Yi Chen felt a deep frown forming; he hated seeing his brother like this.

He thought about confronting her, but the pain in his chest was overwhelming, leaving him gasping for air.

Since they shared the same body, every emotion felt by Xiong Zi Ying echoed inside him.

It wouldn’t be right to say he felt nothing toward her; yet he was colder than his brother, choosing to bury his feelings deep down while focusing on his goals.  But this hurt so fxcking bad!

He wanted to silence her, to stop the cruel words that came out of her mouth.

In that moment, he acted on his instinct.

Suddenly, he was right in front of her.

He grasped her face firmly, pulling her closer, sealing her lips that had spoken such painful truths.

With one hand cradling the back of her head, he tilted her face up and forced her mouth open to kiss her.

His warm tongue invaded her mouth, drinking in the sweetness that clashed sharply with the bitterness of her words.

His strong arm wrapped around her waist, holding her firmly in place, ensuring she couldn’t pull away.

He kissed her hungrily, as if he wanted to consume her completely, hoping to erase his own pain-torn between using her as a tool for revenge and wanting her to leave his life entirely.

The sudden kiss startled both her and Xiong Zi Ying, but Xiong Zi Ying said nothing.

He allowed his brother to take full control, his heart racing in his chest.

The intensity of the kiss felt amazing, and holding her warm body close was incredibly comforting.

He reveled in the moment, disregarding the taboo in the cultivation world that forbade such intimacy between a master and disciple.

She was confused by why Xiong Yi Chen had suddenly kissed her.

In an attempt to push him away, she bit his tongue, but it was futile.

Instead of stopping, he savored the taste of her tongue and wickedly shared his blood with her.

“Cough!!” She sputtered a bit, but he still wouldn’t let go.

Every time she tried to fight back, his strong hand clamped down on her wrists, pinning them above her head.

He pressed her against the rock, his tall, muscular body pressing in close, while his other hand released her hair to grip her jaw, forcing her to accept his kiss.

Her eyes widened in fear and disbelief, but she felt powerless.

Whenever she tried to tap into her spiritual power, he somehow thwarted it.

To her shock, she realized she couldn’t use her abilities at all.  Xiong Zi Ying looked at her with sympathy, while Xiong Yi Chen laughed coldly as he kissed her.

Did she forget that they possessed the Legendary Spiritual Root of the Flower element?

This meant they could control everything, even the strange force that stopped others from using their spiritual power.

Their bodies seemed to be made from nature itself.
