Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 793

Chapter 793: Desires Chapter 793: Desires Xiong Zi Ying pulled Tuzi AoFen back, subtly cautioning him against any rash actions, while Huang Bai Xing and Dongfang Moqing stood silently, their expressions betraying nothing as they regarded the intruder.

“Why are you here?” Shenlian Yingyue demanded, her frown deepening with palpable annoyance, a stark contrast to the worry she felt within.

“Why can’t I be here?

Did you think you owned this world?” the figure laughed, playful amusement dancing in his eyes.

The bemusement of the moment felt like a veil, hiding the darker realities that loomed over their lives.  The atmosphere was charged with tension; the stakes higher than anyone could easily comprehend.

Each member of the circle steeled themselves for what was to come, the air thick with unspoken alliances and unaddressed grievances, their world ever teetering on the edge of chaos with the ever-unpredictable Shen Xian unsettling the balance.

“And what did I tell you?

Did you turn a deaf ear to my warning?” The person’s laughter suddenly ceased; he tilted his head with a strange but gloomy smile when he noticed her hands were being held by Shenlian Yinzhu, Jun Mu Yang, and Zhiyi.

Her body tensed as she recalled his warning-not to let any man touch her, whether that man was her husband, brother, or companion.

“And these male beasts too.

Woman, why do you always contract with male beasts?” Shen Xian laughed as he turned his face to look at Xie Xie, Feng Huang, Bing Xue, Tian Tian, Zhizhi, and Huan Huan.

He deliberately ignored Xiao Mei, who had transformed into a male but was still a kid, as well as Xiao Nian, who was a cute teenage girl.

Xiao Yun, Xiao Li, Xiao Lan, Hong Zuan, Lu Long, and Xiao Qiu were also overlooked.

(Xiao Li, Xiao Lan, and Hong Zuan had already returned to their beast forms.) “Do these men plan to seduce you, their master?

It’s quite ridiculous and amusing, but can your small body bear the weight of so many men?” He disliked the idea of a woman surrounded by males.

His words sounded harsh and full of insult, but to him, lust was a natural part of being human.

He could not conceive of anything pure in the relationship between male and female.

In more nuanced depictions, demons viewed human lust as a reflection of their own nature.

They possessed a deep understanding of human desires and recognized them as both strengths and weaknesses.

Mostly, from the demons’ perspective, love and affection were dismissed as illusions created by lust.

Demons never denied their desires, such as lust and greed between genders.

Unlike humans who often denied and concealed their desires beneath pure and hypocritical masks, demons openly displayed their lustful and cruel nature, unashamed to discuss lust, greed, jealousy, and more.

The crowd was instantly enraged as this man insulted her; their faces twisted with frustration and disgust at Shen Xian.

“What are you talking about?

I don’t understand.

And don’t slander them; they are my partners.” Her tone was as cold as a frigid winter.

She would not allow anyone to view her partners in such a light.

At the same time, her heart raced.

How did he know they were her contracted partners?

First of all, Xiao Yun had cast a spell to conceal Huan Huan and the others’ auras.

From the outside, no one knew they were related to her in such a special way.

Secondly, they wore cloaks and masks that obscured their attractive and unique appearances, which belonged to powerful beasts who had transformed into human forms.

So how had Shen Xian seen through their disguise and recognized that they were her contracted beasts?

“Slander?

Are you sure they have no impure thoughts about you?” Shen Xian meaningfully regarded Xie Xie, Bing Xue, and the others.

He did not mind the fact that she pretended not to understand what he was saying.

The faces of Bing Xue and the others were calm and neutral, but some of them flushed, while others hid their unnatural desires beneath their calm masks.

They hated this man for revealing their feelings about her.

What if she escaped from them?

What if she rejected them?

“Woman, are you truly ignorant of their desires for you, or are you enjoying this feeling of being surrounded by many men while pretending to be innocent and unaware?” Shen Xian, the Demon Emperor, rubbed his chin with a smirk, amused by the men’s calmness.

Shenlian Yingyue frowned.

She never thought of them in this light, and she had never considered such thoughts at all.

They respected her deeply.

She felt a familial love with them, unlike the ‘impure thoughts’ that Shen Xian attributed to them regarding her.

“Weirdo!

You come here just to sprout nonsense and destroy our relationships?

Our feelings for her are, of course, pure.

We treat her as family and our special person!” Only Xiao Nian was oblivious to the men’s thoughts; she was very angry that someone would speak of her master and companions in such a way.

Her words made the men uneasy as they faced her.

Fortunately, neither Shenlian Yingyue nor Xiao Nian managed to notice the unnatural expressions on their companions’ faces, except for Shenlian Yinzhu, Xiong Zi Ying, and a few others who observed the discord.

“Weirdo?” Shen Xian’s red eyes locked onto Xiao Nian.

Although he was still smiling, his expression sent chills down people’s spines.

Shenlian Yingyue immediately stepped in front of Xiao Nian and the others.

Xiao Nian’s body tensed under his gaze, but she quickly found her composure as her master protected her.

At that moment, when his eyes were fixed on her, her soul trembled in fear, as if it could be crushed in his gaze at any moment he chose.

His eyes, unlike those of the demon race and monsters, were darker red, resembling rivers of blood frozen in time.

They conveyed ancient, unyielding emotions, and held a mysterious depth that seemed to reveal the secrets and wisdom of the unholy things and dark desires that everyone harbored.

The pupils were vertical slits, sharp as blades, and seemed to pierce through reality itself, seeing not just the present, but also the future and the hidden truths of the soul.

Those pair of eyes, they held a storm of power and darkness intertwined with mystery. When someone looked into them, they felt an overwhelming dread-as if those eyes could command anyone to their knees, drain their will, or see their deepest fears.
