Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 799

Chapter 799: The Strange Scent  Chapter 799: The Strange Scent  “A’Ying will be fine,” Tuzi AoFen responded with a smile.

When Shenlian Yingyue extended her divine perception to survey her surroundings, she was taken aback to find that it could scarcely penetrate beyond a hundred meters.

The truth of Fen Fen’s warning became clear-there was no escaping this forest without proper guidance.

Huang Bai Xing, skeptical of malevolent forces, attempted to summon his Shadow Army, yet his efforts proved futile.

“It’s pointless to try to escape,” Dongfang Moqing said, his gaze sharp as he reached for the glowing paper crane in his hand.  The crane was a tool of navigation, usually unfaltering in its ability to guide him through the thick fog, intricate tunnels, and misleading illusions.

However, in this moment, it too seemed to fail him, unable to locate a path leading out of the forest.

“Come with me, Xiao Yueyue,” Tuzi AoFen urged, grasping her wrist as he began to navigate deeper into the forest.

“What about the safety of Uncle Huang and his family?” Shenlian Yingyue questioned during their stroll, her concern directed at Huang Bai Xing.

“That’s not your concern; I have a plan in place for them,” Huang Bai Xing replied with a frosty demeanor.

His evident disdain for her left the others confused about his attitude toward her.

Shenlian Yingyue felt her lips twitch.

At a time like this, he still harbored resentment toward her despite everything they’d endured together?

Nonetheless, she had to acknowledge Huang Bai Xing’s skill in turning situations around.

In truth, no one understood the complexities of Huang Bai Xing’s feelings; only he was aware of the turbulence within him.

“And what about you?

Where are your family and sister?” Concern evident in her voice, she turned to Dongfang Moqing.

“My sister has long departed from this planet.

She’s powerful enough to take care of herself,” he responded, a softer tone surfacing when he mentioned her.  Even though they often had disagreements, both siblings relied on each other’s strengths to run their business and accumulate spirit stones.

“As for my subordinates at Crimson Crane Pavilion, they’re well-protected,” he assured, having ensured their safety at the first hint of trouble on the horizon.

Shenlian Yingyue nodded in understanding, yet her brow remained furrowed.

Taking out a vial of spiritual juice made from grapes, she gulped some while contemplating her next actions.

A subtle vibration from the Ethereal Small World drew her attention, prompting her to retrieve the Red Spider Lily Stone that Diyu had gifted her in the secret realm of Congzhu.

Dark red letters swirled into existence, visible only to her.

-I’ve received information that could lead me to my little brother.

Once I find him, I’ll come back to you immediately.

If you find yourself in danger, break this red stone; it will protect you.

I’ve dealt with the enemies on this planet, avenging my family for what they did to my parents and brother.

Thank you, Yue’er, for your unwavering support.

Our plan was successful, and it wouldn’t have been possible without you-it would have only resulted in chaos.- Surprised yet delighted, she felt a wave of joy.

The thought of that little boy suffering at the hands of cruel humans always brought her heartache.  “I’m so glad…” she murmured, clutching the red stone tightly in her palm.  One of his wishes was on the verge of realization: he had taken revenge on those malevolent beings from powerful sects that tormented his family, releasing himself from the pursuit of those factions eager to punish him for the chaos he had caused.

Not only did the virtuous cultivators from various sects regard him as a hero for rescuing them from the clutches of evil, but they also took it upon themselves to seek justice against those malevolent beings who had harmed his loved ones in the past.

With each foe he vanquished, his lifespan seemed to extend, fueled by the energy of his righteous wrath.

Everyone turned their attention to her and the Red Spider Lily Stone she clutched, deep in contemplation.

Just as she was about to tuck the Red Spider Lily Stone away, another line of text materialized before her eyes.

Her heart raced as she processed the words.

-To show my genuine gratitude for your help, I can only offer my unyielding devotion.

Are you interested in exploring a ‘deeper connection’ between us?

I assure you, I stand out among the many who admire you, Miss.- A chill ran down her spine, and she could almost picture his smirk as he penned those words.

In a panic, she quickly shoved the stone into her small world as if it were a scalding ember, fearful of any more suggestive messages.

If her husbands and partners ever encountered this, she dreaded the chaos that could ensue between them and Diyu like the world war III.

A certain chubby Mr.

Potato wore a mischievous grin, envisioning the scenario of a certain someone pinning Yueyue down… Cough… He rolled across the floor, overwhelmed with embarrassment.

“What’s the matter, Xiao Yueyue?” Tuzi AoFen noticed her odd demeanor and halted his steps, glancing back to scrutinize her.

His cerise pink eyes flicked toward the stone she had hastily stashed away.

“Oh, it’s just a message from an old acquaintance,” she quickly responded, regaining her composure and masking her awkwardness.

No one pressed her further, as they had far more pressing concerns at hand.

A strange scent began to infiltrate the air around them, a scent that had claimed the lives of numerous adventurers and cultivators who dared to explore this perilous forest.

Before they could fully process the situation, Tuzi AoFen swiftly formed a gesture with his fingers, murmuring an incantation.

A cerise pink aura surrounded them, forming a protective barrier against the unseen force that threatened to assail them.

He then released an object into the air-a delicate pink plant shaped like a snowflake.

The pink snowflake radiated a cerise glow while exuding pale pink smoke.

The enchanted fog expanded, countering the malevolent presence behind the unsettling odor.

“Where is this smell coming from?” Shenlian Yingyue inquired, skepticism evident in her voice.

Even with her considerable strength, she could not discern the source or cause of the noxious aroma.

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Littlecarrot The reason that I write this volume as the “Unknown World” is because I don’t want to spoil the next arc yet dear.

I hope this doesn’t make you feel confuse dear, I will change the volume’s name later.

Thank you so much for your unwavering love and support, my dear angels.

I send my prayers for your safety during these tumultuous times.

I’ve heard about the chaos unfolding in various parts of the world, and I urge you to take care of yourselves.

No matter the challenges that arise, always remember to have faith in the universe and that everything happens for a purpose.

I hope that a beautiful rainbow follows the storm for each of you.

I can’t sleep peacefully, and often have a vivid but strange dream.

I don’t know, but I’m trying my best to stay safe and healthy, and I hope my angels can be safe and healthy on this journey too.
