Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 597

Chapter 597: Lesson [Her Kindness]

"People won’t work hard if they get everything for free."

Everyone suddenly nodded in enlightenment.

"I admire your insight very much, Third Sister." Huang Sicong nodded in appreciation.

"Thank you, Eldest Brother," replied Shenlian Yingyue.

"I’m leaving." After she was done, she stood up, held her fist, and left.

Everyone: "...."

"Go on." Huang Bai Xing waved her hand to let them continue.

Now, her prestige in the family was even a point higher than Huang Donghai’s. Her words were like an absolute order.

—•—•—•—•—•—

During these times, Shenlian Yingyue and Shenlian Wanyan handled the betrayals very well. They were chased out of the family, and they could not step into the family for a lifetime.

The five people—the first elder, the fifth elder, Liu Zimei, and Chen Lingyun—got what they had done to Shenlian Wanyan for all those years.

They were free to go everywhere, but they were no different from prisoners. Their actions must be done under the watchful eyes of the guards that Huang Donghai sent to look at them.

They were not allowed to give work or food. Their food must be given by the people of the Huang family.

Everyone in the family ignored them and only gave them barely edible food that sometimes couldn’t even fill their stomachs. Some days, they roared in anger but got nothing, no matter how they screamed.

Just like those years when they asked the servants not to give food and drink to Shenlian Wanyan.

Huang Jingyi was not given the opportunity to give food to her mother. If she dared to do so, she would be the enemy of Shenlian Yingyue and Huang Bai Xing.

They were scolded, looked down at, and sneered at, the same as they used to sneer at Shenlian Wanyan those years behind Huang Donghai’s and everyone’s backs.

They were not allowed to commit suicide unless they had paid for all the sin that they had caused to Shenlian Wanyan.

Dying was not terrible for them. What terrible was it to know that they had to live their thirteen years of hellish lives to atone for their sins?

They regretted it. They regretted that they did those things to Shenlian Wanyan. They finally understood the pain of being ignored, the feeling of thirst, and the hunger of being starving.

"No amount of regret can return those years that A’Yan was abused by the five of you. He begged for food, yet you ignored his pleading. He asked for a little warmth, yet you pushed him to hell mercilessly." Shenlian Yingyue looked at the five thin figures who looked at her with begging.

"You wanted to kill and planned to bring misery to him many times, and I’ll return you a life that is worse than death." She looked at them expressionlessly, yet her words told them how angry she was.

She was trying to hold herself back from beating them furiously. The moment she beat them, they would die.

"Please, forgive us!" Their screams didn’t shake her mind.

They used to live a prosperous life, with enough food, clothing, and resources to have everything they wanted. Now, they couldn’t stand a day without food. They wished they could die.

She held Shenlian Wanyan’s hand and walked away from them.

Shenlian Yingyue did the same everywhere that she passed by to make sure that everyone received this news.

Sure enough, when they rushed to the front door of all shops under the Huang and Tan families’ names, they saw the announcement of needing the workers to work for them. When they got inside, they received a warm welcome, and they were asked only two questions:

"What are you good at?"

"Can you promise to work hard and not give up your dream?"

The second question was weird for some people, but those people with dreams of doing something nodded fiercely.

"Yes, yes, we will never give up our dream and keep working hard!"

They were provided with the jobs that they were good at; they got a good salary, food to eat, and places to stay. Everything was so perfect, as if they were dreaming.

The news soon spread everywhere in the entire Outer Domain.

She became a mysterious person who helped the poor, prevented poverty, and created many opportunities for them to work. Regardless of their genders, identities, skin colors, or races, she didn’t allow any of them to racistize anyone.

She didn’t plan to open the business empire as Huang Bai Xing, but just to provide a wonderful place for everyone to live freely. She let them work with the businesses that were under the Huang family’s control and made sure that all of them were treated equally.

Everyone soon knew that, behind the Huang family, there was a very kind person who took control of everything and started the idea of giving them jobs.

The people of the Huang family didn’t hide from them, but they didn’t tell them who this kind person was who started these ideas.

One thing they knew, this person’s figure, way that she spoke, and her voice were the same as a mysterious person who used to help them four years ago.
