Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621: Self-Blame

"Let me ask you one thing: if, in the future, you become my enemy, what will you do?" Shenlian Yingyue wasn’t a person who loved to hide.

"Impossible! You saved me; how can I forget your grace?" Jia Yi’s picturesque eyebrows furrowed.

"The future is a canvas of endless possibilities, painted in hues of uncertainty." She looked at him seriously.

"Why think about the future when I’m living in the present now? I’m Jia Yi, a hopeless beast who was saved by you, and I’ll be Jia Yi who was saved by you in the future." Jia Yi’s red eye was glowing softly against his fair skin.

There was an underlying sense of pride and authority in Jia Yi’s voice.

"Jia Yi, things are deeper than what you are thinking." She kneaded her temples in pain.

"You know who I am." Jia Yi wasn’t ignorant. He knew at a glance that she was hiding something from him.

"I know who you are." She didn’t deny it.

"That’s why you kept rejecting me?" He raised one of his eyebrows.

She didn’t need to answer his question because he knew the answer.

"No matter what, I’ll prove to you that I am me, Jia Yi, who was saved by you."

"Jia Yi, don’t mention this anymore. It is true that I saved you, but you don’t have to follow me. Once you see how wide the world is, you will change your mind." What she said was true.

"I appreciate how sure you are to think like this. Although I don’t understand what you are talking about, there’s one thing that I’m sure of. You will never allow me to make a contract with you." Jia Yi stood up after he finished speaking.

"Time will prove everything." His speech was often slow and deliberate, which added to his authoritative tone. He took his time to get his words out, which made her feel more considered and thoughtful.

After that, he disappeared from her sight. She thought that he left and never returned, but one day, she realized how wrong she was.

-----------------

She finished arranging everything in the Luminous Moon Palace. All resources were available for them. It would soon become a self-sufficient community. There was a huge and long spirit stone vein in the Poisonous Valley, and the fields of wheat, corn, herbal plants, and vegetables surrounding the valley.

Many buildings were almost finished being constructed and would be available for everyone to make use of them.

Everyone bid farewell to her with sadness, and the entire Luminous Moon Palace turned strangely quiet without her presence. If they want to follow their Lord, they must work hard.

------------------

Shenlian Yingyue returned to the Huang Manor to bid farewell to Huang Donghai and left.

Under Huang Bai Xing’s rule, everything went smoothly. There were some obstacles from her enemies because she had countless enemies. Eventually, she managed to handle those obstacles perfectly.

The lives of people at the Outer Domain were much better with Shenlian Yingyue’s help and Huang Bai Xing’s rule. Although it was not perfect, in the future, as long as everyone tried to work hard and help each other, she firmly believed that the Outer and Inferior Domains would become great places for people to live.

As Shenlian Yingyue expected, the number of slaves increased in the slave markets.

She told them everything because, even if she didn’t, they would still know one day.

Of course, they didn’t believe that she forced Yao Yanzi. Their faces turned pale after they listened to her explanation.

"Yue’er, brother, is incompetent." Shenlian Yinzhu’s tone was full of self-blame.

"Yue, my wife... I’m sorry, I’m sorry." Helan Yuze held her shoulders, buried his face on her neck, and said it in a heartbreaking tone.

"Yue, I shouldn’t have left you alone." Jun Mu Yang clenched his fists tightly.

"Master, it’s my fault." Zhiyi squeezed his lips tightly. He couldn’t help but want to slap himself.

"Master, in the future, we will never leave you again!" Everyone said it in one voice. Their faces were sad, and tears gathered in their big eyes.

"Sister...." Shenlian Wanyan grabbed her sleeve as his eyes turned red. It was his fault. Why did he even leave her in the first place?

"It’s my fault; I’m sorry for not keeping my body for you." Her voice was low and husky, like she’d been crying for days in her heart, but not so low that you couldn’t hear the pain and longing beneath the surface.

"Who cares if you’re clean or not? We care about your safety, master! You almost died!" Xie Xie said the longest and most emotional sentence ever.

His eyes, once bright and full of life, were now darkened with the weight of self-blame and heartbreak. The sparkle that once shone within them had dulled, replaced by deep sorrow and regret.
