Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 789

Chapter 789: Shenlian Sheshan Is A Sly Fox Chapter 789: Shenlian Sheshan Is A Sly Fox The man had a pale, porcelain-like complexion that enhanced his ethereal beauty.

His lips were delicately tinted, almost rose-petal pink, contrasting subtly with his fair skin.

His sharp, fine features were exquisitely symmetrical, giving him a regal and enigmatic demeanor.

His long, flowing hair was stark white, cascading down in silky strands.

The pristine hue accentuates his ethereal charm.

His ensemble was complemented by delicate, golden chains and ornaments that dangled gracefully, including an ornate earring on his left ear.

There was a subtle headpiece in gold frames his head, further emphasizing his noble and enigmatic aura.

He wore a luxurious robe in black and white, adorned with intricate golden embroidery, depicting floral and vine motifs.

It created a striking blend of elegance and opulence.  His gaze was intense yet distant, evoking a sense of profound wisdom, and sharpness.

He exuded an air of elegance and mystery, embodying a sophisticated and ethereal aesthetic.

Everyone’s eyes widened, each reacting differently to the sudden appearance.

Xiong Zi Ying and Xiong Yi Chen were taken aback, their expressions a mixture of surprise and confusion.  On the other hand, Shenlian Yingyue initially appeared detached, her watchful gaze assessing whether he was friend or foe.

However, recognition struck her like a lightning bolt, and a sense of warmth flooded her heart as she felt their connection through the blood contract.

“Uncle Shan, you’re back!

How’s your body?

Is your soul alright now?” she exclaimed, a bright smile illuminating her face as she rushed forward, momentarily forgetting the person standing in the background, who registered the moment with a blank stare.

Her tone was laced with concern as she circled him, studying his condition intently.

“I’m back, Xiao Yue’er.

I apologize for my late arrival; I was delayed.

But my soul is nearly stabilized,” he replied, affectionately ruffling her hair with a gentle touch.

His voice resonated with a deep, magnetic timbre that carried an air of maturity and warmth, half-truths mingling with honesty.

Once he completed his cultivation, a sense of unease washed over him.

His gaze from inside the small world fell upon Xiong Zi Ying’s expression, and he was taken aback, filled with an urge to step forward and assist her in confronting the situation.

To his astonishment, he quickly realized she was a disciple of Xiong Zi Ying, a member of the Xiong clan.

This revelation had come as a complete surprise; nobody had informed him.

After forming a blood contract with her in the secret realm of Congzhu, he had shut himself away to strengthen his soul.

He remained blissfully unaware of the events unfolding outside until that moment when he emerged from his intense cultivation, only to find that something had indeed gone awry.

Only upon finishing his training-and amid a confrontation with the Obsidian Demon King in the Ethereal Small World-did he recognize the gravity of the situation.

He had sustained injuries in that battle, leading to an extended period of training, particularly focusing on reinforcing both his body and soul near the serene Fairy Waterfall.

Yet now, emerging from his seclusion, he was met with a cascade of startling revelations.

The insightful choices she made and the courage she displayed sparked a deep sense of gratitude within him, but he also felt a wave of worry for her emotional turmoil.

Witnessing her share a kiss with both Xiong Zi Ying and Xiong Yi Chen struck him like a bolt of lightning.

Instinctively, he was compelled to step forward, to shield her from their advances.

However, as he observed the intensity in their gazes fixed upon her, a flicker of realization ignited within him, prompting him to devise a plan of his own.

If these two men were to fall in love with Yue’er, she could gain numerous advantages from them.

However, the likelihood of such an outcome was exceptionally slim, nearly impossible, given the heartless nature of the Xiong clan’s men, who often remained aloof towards women.

Yet, once they did fall in love, they transformed into the most devoted individuals on the planet, ready to sacrifice anything-including their own lives-to protect the ones they cherished.  Conversely, if anyone dared to harm their loved ones, they would turn into the most terrifying and ruthless demons, pursuing that foe to the ends of the earth, willing to commit unspeakable acts in the name of revenge.

These men were fiercely possessive, regardless of whether their beloved was male or female.

Moreover, he couldn’t guarantee that these inheritors of the Xiong lineage would shift their sentiments simply because of Yue’er.

Thus, he chose to remain inconspicuous, watching and waiting for the opportune moment to emerge.  Even as Shenlian Sheshan, the cunning fox, plotted in his heart, his face bore a gentle expression as he tenderly patted her shoulder and cast a sidelong glance at the two souls entwined within a single body.  “Shenlian Sheshan!” growled Xiong Zi Ying and Xiong Yi Chen, their expressions twisting in anger.

This reaction was typical whenever they encountered their adversary.

“Long time no see, descendants of the Xiong clan,” Shenlian Sheshan remarked, raising an eyebrow and offering a smirk.

“Your insincere facade sickens us.

Don’t you feel any shame smiling as if everything is fine after all you’ve done, Shenlian scion?” scoffed Xiong Zi Ying, reverting to his usual seductive smile that never reached his cold eyes.

“Xiong’s descendant, I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean,” Shenlian Sheshan replied, maintaining an air of mock surprise.

“Spare us your false act; you deserve to be crushed underfoot for this performance,” Xiong Yi Chen interjected, his tone laced with disdain.

He had no trust for the man, having witnessed his presence alongside Shenlian Yingyue’s parents during the destruction of the Xiong clan.

“If I’m not mistaken, you are Xiong Yi Chen, right?” He smirked, crossing his arms with an amused tilt of his lips.

“I thought you had perished, but it seems your clan possesses some mysterious methods to defy fate and preserve the soul.

Two souls within one body…

quite peculiar!

This technique is rumored to belong exclusively to a certain legendary tribe thought to be long lost…” he mused, recalling an ancient tale.

Although the voice and visage belonged to Xiong Zi Ying, the sudden shift in tone and breath led him to realize that Xiong Yi Chen’s essence resided within Xiong Zi Ying when he listened to their previous exchanges with his niece.

At the mention of this revelation, both Xiong Zi Ying and Xiong Yi Chen reacted sharply.

Shenlian Yingyue felt an unsettling premonition as Shenlian Sheshan swiftly positioned himself protectively beside her before she could utter a word or gather her thoughts.

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Littlecarrot Sheshan, this old fox!

He is full of trick and plan, and he can still keep the straight face when he talks to Yueyue haha.

( ,,â©Œ’︿’â©Œ,,) Your kindness means everything to me, my dear.

I am sincerely thankful for all that you do.

Wishing you love, safety, and good health, my wonderful angels.
