Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 809

Chapter 809: Meet Them And Di Xiuyu Again Chapter 809: Meet Them And Di Xiuyu Again “Rise!” Shen Xian’s voice dripped with annoyance.

How had they managed to uncover his identity so swiftly?

It was no surprise that Shi Ji and them recognized Shen Xian immediately-he was their Demon Emperor, after all.

Their quick recognition stemmed from bitter experience.

In the past, their Emperor had a knack for mischief, often disguising himself as an ordinary demon or a nondescript creature to stir up chaos within the royal palace.

Whenever demons dared to challenge him, he would decisively defeat them and deliver his infamous line that left everyone fuming: “So weak!

Time to replace the royal guards!” Initially, none of them could fathom the identity of the audacious figure mocking them, but with time, they had learned to identify him.

No matter the disguise-be it appearance or magical form-one thing was unmistakable: his enigmatic smile and nonchalant demeanor whenever he instigated mayhem.

Perhaps the most baffling aspect to them was his lackadaisical response to their queries about his antics; his reply never failed to leave them speechless: “Life can be dull, and I seek amusement.” “How dare you disrespect our Emperor?

Do you wish to meet your end?” Yasha rushed forward, ready to pummel the demon guards, but Shi Ji intervened.

Oh, those poor demon guards.

The moment they comprehended that the unremarkable man they had belittled was indeed their Emperor, their spirits left their bodies.

They knelt there, frozen, as if their life force had been extinguished.

Shenlian Yingyue could hardly spare a thought for the others, her eyes drawn to a sight that made her heart clench-a figure forced to kneel before Shen Xian by Yasha, the cloaked demon.

Di Xiuyu??

Di Xiuyu maintained her composure, her graceful form still adorned in the elegant white hanfu that rendered her ethereal.

Yet the fatigue that lingered beneath her eyes revealed the hardship she had endured during her journey to the Demon Realm.

Now, kneeling there, she appeared delicate and vulnerable.

Shenlian Yingyue’s brows furrowed as she recalled Xiao Yun’s account of the Demon King Shi Ji’s audacious kidnapping of Di Xiuyu from Rainrealm Continent, which had thrown the entire realm into chaos.  She pondered the current state of the war between the human and demon races, her mind ablaze with uncertainty.

Infernal Volcanic, Jade Orchid, Peridot Melody, and the Demon Generals had not yet been seen; it seemed they were still entrenched in battle with the humans in the Mortal Realm.

In her heart, she prayed that Xiang Liu, the formidable Nine-Headed Silver Serpent, would uncover the truth about Su Lanfei’s plight and ensure her safety.

Simultaneously, she hoped that Huang Bai Xing was keeping a watchful eye over Huang Donghai, who was recuperating on a remote island, far removed from the bloodshed.

“Who is this?” Shen Xian finally focused his gaze on Di Xiuyu, who was forced to kneel before him.  Her head bowed, her expression was obscured, but all present understood that a proud fairy like her must be grappling with acute feelings of humiliation and resentment at being made to bow before the very demon responsible for her homeland’s devastation.

“Your Majesty, this woman possesses something of great interest to you,” Shi Ji stated, breaking the tension.

“Oh?

Who is she?

Raise your head,” Shen Xian said, his initial disinterest transforming into intrigue.

Di Xiuyu clenched her lips, drawing blood in an effort to suppress her fury.

Overwhelmed by confusion, she slowly raised her head, exposing her delicate features to him.

She couldn’t comprehend the reason behind her abduction.

She knew better than to act rashly in the midst of demons.

“The Seventh Princess of the Di Clan?” Shen Xian smiled faintly upon seeing her exquisite face.

An enigmatic glimmer flickered in his eyes, unnoticed by anyone else.

Di Xiuyu was bewildered.

How on Earth did this imposing figure recognize her?

Just then, the system delivered a shocking revelation.  It informed her that this seemingly ordinary man, referred to as the Demon Emperor, was one of her destined targets for conquest-specifically, the Emperor Ji of the Ji Clan from the Aquarius Empire.  Her mind raced; how could she possibly be tasked with winning the heart of her aunt’s husband?  (Di Susu, Di Xiuyu’s aunt, was the Empress of the Aquarius Empire and married to the Ji Emperor, Shen Xian.

Di Susu was also the mother of Ju Fulin.) “May I ask if you know me?” Di Xiuyu feigned ignorance of his identity.

Her beautiful visage remained serene, as if she were conversing with an ordinary individual rather than the formidable ruler who instilled fear and reverence across the cosmos.

“Your reputation for wisdom and might resonates throughout every corner of Yellow Planet; how could I possibly overlook you?” To everyone’s astonishment, rather than apprehension towards her presence, Shen Xian treated her with an unexpected warmth that contradicted their expectations.

The discourse between them seemed to envelop them in an intimate world, isolated from all else.

Yet, unbeknownst to all, his fathomless gaze was devoid of warmth, emanating only a chilling indifference.

The royal demon guards observed Di Xiuyu closely, mentally reminding themselves to refrain from offending this mortal woman who evidently held the favor of their Demon Emperor.

Meanwhile, Shenlian Yingyue became a background character, unnoticed by most.

This was precisely her intention.

She had to concoct a plan to rescue her master, currently within Shen Xian’s grasp, and devise a way to flee the Demon Realm.

Suddenly, her aura drew the attention of Demon King Shi Ji, Yao, and Yasha.

She felt a tightening in her body as their spiritual energy brushed past her, but she remained still, her mind racing with a multitude of thoughts.

For reasons she couldn’t fully articulate, she wished to remain inconspicuous to them.

Recognizing her, they exchanged glances filled with inscrutable emotions.

Yet, none acted as if they acknowledged her presence; instead, they averted their gazes back to Di Xiuyu.

Shenlian Yingyue exhaled in relief; she believed she could finally slip away.

She had no desire to confront them now, knowing full well the odds were stacked against her.

Unbeknownst to her, the tumultuous feelings stirred within their hearts upon recognizing her.

Yet, only they knew the sentiments concealed beneath their stoic facade.

“Bring her to my throne room,” Shen Xian commanded, a glint of intensity in his eyes before vanishing from sight.

“Follow me,” Shi Ji instructed Di Xiuyu in a calm tone.

Her eyes sparkled with intrigue as she complied, with Yao and Yasha trailing behind Shi Ji into the palace.

Left behind, Shenlian Yingyue found herself at a loss for direction, yet she was resolute in her determination to follow Shen Xian and find a way to let him release Xiong Zi Ying.
