Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 788

Chapter 788: A Clueless Heart That Left A Mark On Them Chapter 788: A Clueless Heart That Left A Mark On Them This brought her back to the time she was ensnared by the Golden Vine held by Yao Yanzi in the hidden realm of Congzhu, where she first encountered him after he had been drugged by Luo Chumei.

Back then, she was on the verge of being compelled to resolve the effects of his aphrodisiac, completely powerless as she was stripped of her spiritual abilities.

What had he done to her?

Now, without the use of her spiritual powers, she felt like a frail creature trapped in his grasp.

Though her own physical strength was formidable, compared to his, she was just a vulnerable deer against a mighty dragon soaring through the skies.

She didn’t want to kiss him, struggling in vain as he deepened the connection between them.

Her lips were already swollen and reddened, mirrored now on his own.

The man before her appeared irresistibly alluring, his face flushed and breathing heavily.

A sense of wrongness enveloped her.

She was aware that the lips brushing against hers belonged to ‘Xiong Yi Chen’ and not her master.

Staring into the face so close to her, feeling the heat of his breath, she had to constantly remind herself that this wasn’t her master.

As what felt like an eternity passed, nearly suffocating from the intensity of the kiss, he finally released her, smirking.

“Do not utter those words to me again, or next time, I won’t hesitate to pull out your tongue.

You’re not going anywhere; I’ll ensure you remain entwined in my life,” Xiong Yi Chen sneered, his captivating visage slightly flushed, yet his words dripped with cold cruelty.

“In this life, you will never escape me.

You’re merely my pawn, and I will leverage you to uncover your father’s whereabouts and avenge my clan.” He tightened his hold around her, a reflection of his own pain and helplessness.

But since he was already trapped in a living hell, he was determined to drag her and his brother down into the depths of despair along with him.

“How dare you use my master’s lips to kiss me?

How can you defile his purity through this?

You occupy his body; why would you do this?” Fury coursed through her veins as she clenched her teeth and gripped his collar with force.

Her words shocked both Xiong Yi Chen and Xiong Zi Ying.

They had braced themselves for her anger, her disappointment, even her disgust at being forced into this miserable game involving the Shenlian clan.

But what was this reaction?

“Xiao Yueyue, what do you mean by that?” Xiong Zi Ying intervened, trying to steady his brother, his flushed face betraying a mix of confusion and concern.

“Master, your elder brother…

he’s using your body like this with me.

What if Fen Fen finds out?

He’ll be so hurt!

And you mustn’t blame yourself; none of this is your fault.” Anxiety mixed with guilt flooded her voice, though the wrongdoing wasn’t hers.

Her concern was palpable, edged with anger.

The very thought of her husbands sharing intimate moments with other women was unbearable, even more so when she envisioned Fen Fen’s reaction to knowing that Xiong Yi Chen’s body was being misused in such a way against her will.

Her heart still ached with the pain of having to aid Yao Yanzi in dealing with the effects of his aphrodisiac poison on a monthly basis.

Each recollection of those moments weighed heavy on her conscience, as she sensed the jealousy and anguish her husbands felt, though they insisted on bearing the burden themselves.

Both Xiong Zi Ying and Xiong Yi Chen were at a loss for words, taken aback by her response.

Was this really the moment for her to prioritize others’ feelings?

They understood how deeply Tuzi AoFen meant to her, yet hearing her express more concern for him than for her own suffering stirred a whirlwind of emotions within them.

They exchanged looks of astonishment, realizing her selfless nature had touched their hearts.

“You’re such a fool!” Xiong Yi Chen scoffed, though deep within him, something profound was awakening-a realization that Xiong Zi Ying shared.

“What are you saying?

You don’t get it!” Shenlian Yingyue shot a glare at Xiong Yi Chen, pushing him away with frustration.

“Xiao Yueyue, you…” Xiong Zi Ying felt a mixture of helplessness and warmth crash over him.

How could she still care after everything they had put her through?

The flicker of hope ignited in his heart, urging him to hold onto the belief that she still had feelings for him.

Did she really still care?

Did she hold any resentment for him after everything?

Before he could voice his thoughts, her next declaration sent chills down his spine.

“Besides, I’m not a fool!

I’m telling you now, I refuse to let your plans come to fruition.

The Shenlian clan no longer matters to me; my only focus is on my loved ones.” Her tone was resolute as she directed her determination at Xiong Yi Chen, blissfully unaware of the storm of emotions brewing within Xiong Zi Ying.

“Regarding the incident that occurred that year, I will conduct my own inquiry and confront my father when Iocate him.

I intend to uncover the truth behind it all-the origins and the consequences,” she interrupted, sensing a deeper layer to this narrative.

An inner voice urged her to approach this matter with grave seriousness.

“And what will you do if you discover that everything we’ve said holds true?” Xiong Yi Chen retorted with a sneer, his frustration evident.

He couldn’t understand why she continued to shield her father, insisting on her disbelief when they had witnessed everything firsthand.

Xiong Zi Ying felt a flutter of anxiety and frustration but strove to maintain his composure.

He wanted to present himself as dignified, unyielding, detached-that was the image he needed to uphold in front of her.

Mr.

Potato: (sweating profusely at Xiong Zi Ying’s internal struggle) She remained silent, and they sensed the inevitability of her response.

They envisioned the worst-case scenario, given her unwavering attitude.

She was tenacious, resolute, and bursting with determination.

Frustrated, powerless, and disappointed, both men grappled with their feelings, yet they recognized they had no right to be angry at her decision.

Though that man was viewed as a villain by the world, he was still her father-the man who had given her life.

The tension between them crackled, each side fixated on the other with an icy glare, neither willing to relent.

Before the standoff could escalate further, a tall figure emerged from the shadows, pulling her away.

He stood beside her, casting a brief, assessing look at both Xiong Zi Ying and Xiong Yi Chen.

“Good response, Xiao Yue’er!” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Littlecarrot Yueyue seems almost too good to be true; she prioritizes the well-being of her loved ones above her own needs.

But, dear, this is why we love her, don’t we??
