Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443: System

[Unknown Continent]

The woman looked at the unfamiliar face in the lotus lake. She caressed her face gently, and soon, a smile bloomed on her picturesque face. She slowly touched the plain jade bracelet on her white wrist, and her eyes turned azure.

"System?"

"Greeting the host!"

"What’s my mission?"

"Become strong, take control of everything on this continent, and conquer the target’s hearts. Get everyone’s good impression; assist the empress to ****."

"Time limit?"

"No limit!"

"Huh? Why are you so kind today?"

"No comment."

"What’s my current identity?"

"You’re the princess of *****."

"If I fail?"

"Vanish!"

"Noted!"

(The dialogue above is happening through the divine sense.)

"My princess, the emperor, and the empress summon you to meet him." The maid lowered her head respectfully.

She nodded and followed the maid. Along the way, she was quiet and calm. Her steps were neither fast nor slow; her breath was neither soft nor cold; and her eyes were neither bright nor dim.

The maid noticed something was off with her princess, but she couldn’t see what was wrong.

When she reached the royal hall, a blue screen appeared in front of her as the system’s voice rang in her mind.

<Target number 1: The Emperor ******>

She paused and many strange memories flashed in her mind.

....

[Spiritual Continent, Inner Domain, Golden Candle City, City Lord Mansion]

The girl’s long eyelashes quivered. Sweat oozed from her pale forehead, and her bloodless lips squeezed tightly.

Another hand stuffed a pill into her lips. Her eyebrows finally relaxed.

"It’s been a week. When will she wake up?" Sikong Wenxia fixed his eyes on a slender figure.

"I don’t know." After she fed the heroine the pill to reduce her pain, she stood up straight.

The room was decorated with ancient antiques. An expensive painting about a mysterious forest was put on the wall. Near the bed, the crystal lamp was floating and illuminated the dark.

At the window, a tall figure with his long silver-white hair as frosted snow was looking at the crescent moon at night.

The peach blossom outside of the yard was showing its unique beauty at night under the light of the moon.

Shenlian Yingyue looked at the two big figures in the room who stayed to accompany the heroine.

She sensibly stood up and went outside the yard.

"Bang!!" As soon as she came out, the protective barrier was set up around the room.

No sound could get in, and no one could approach this place.

She flew to the sky, welcoming the attack that was coming towards her calmly.

"Boom!!" Their spiritual power flashed.

Shenlian Yingyue’s scarlet flame hit the other person’s spiritual water.

The two equally powerful powers met, creating a violent confrontation between the two figures.

In just a few seconds, the two had fought with hundreds of tricks and skills.

"You’ve improved!" She grinned.

"I’ll begin the trial of your crime once she wakes up." Xuan Jing, the Holy Son, spoke to her after he put Huang Bai Xing’s body in a room, using his ice lotus spell without touching her.

Shenlian Yingyue had no problem. What will come will always come.

"I have something to say to you." She turned to speak to the city lord.

"Hmmm?" Sikong Yanya raised her eyebrows.

"I’m here, so please let them out of the prison." She confronted Sikong Yanya face-to-face. Even though she was using ’please’, her tone was plain and wasn’t humble at all.

"Why should I? I haven’t settled my grudge with you yet. How could you use this plain tone to order me to let them go?" Sikong Yanya asked with an unknown expression.

"Which tone do you prefer? I’ll try."

Sikong Yanya: "..."

"You seemed to prepare yourself well so that you’d face me one day. Are you not afraid that I’ll squeeze your skull for daring to kill my subordinates?" She played with the glass of the red wine in her hand, crossing her legs lazily. (Ch.159-160)

"They deserve to die." She drank a mouthful of the juice and didn’t care much.

"Who are you to judge their life and death?" Sikong Yanya’s tone was low.

"They better die." Shenlian Yingyue responded expressionlessly.

"Just because they wanted to kill you, does that mean that you can decide their fate by killing them?" Sikong Yanya’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

"No." Shenlian Yingyue shook her head.

"I killed them because living is too painful for them. After they die, they may have a chance to start a new life." She continued. A life that wasn’t as good as dying was tasteless. They couldn’t even commit suicide when they wanted to.

Under Sikong Yanya’s ruthlessness, she was like the bloodthirsty demon, binding them with the chain of suffering. They could do nothing but obey her will and continue to carry out her orders.

If they failed their missions, they died. If they wanted to commit suicide, they couldn’t die, but they would suffer. Even if they tried to break free from this chain, they still failed.

Sikong Yanya was stunned.

"If not for your interference, they may not die. They may have succeeded in the mission and brought him (Shenlian Yinzhu) to me." She snapped out of her daze and eyed Shenlian Yingyue with her seductive eyes.

"Without my interference, they will still die one day." She said on the soft cushion couch and closed her eyes to take a rest.e
