Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 682

Chapter 682: The Spider Lilies in the Underworld Realm

"What kind of book is that?" Diyu asked in surprise.

"It’s just a random book I read," Shenlian Yingyue replied, "but my brother told me that it’s the Book of Heaven, which records everyone’s fates." She flew to the field of spider lilies, her eyes fixed on the red flowers beneath his frightening gaze.

"Yue’er, stop!" he cried out, but it was too late. Her hands were already touching the red spider lilies.

"What’s wrong?" she asked, turning to look at him in shock. His scream had shocked her as well.

"You...do you feel something?" he asked hesitantly, pulling her away from the field of spider lilies and into the sky.

"I feel very good now," she replied, examining her own body. She seemed fine.

Diyu’s eyes widened in horror as he gazed at the field of millions of spider lilies.

"Is there something wrong with those flowers?" she finally realized that something was amiss.

If a normal person, someone without any magical or divine connections, were to touch the Red Spider Lily, several possible outcomes could occur. The person might fall into a deep and prolonged sleep, one that would be difficult to wake up from. The flower’s venomous properties could cause the person to become ill or even poisoned. Alternatively, the Red Spider Lily’s strange and mystical properties could have a profound impact on the person’s mind, leading to vivid dreams, hallucinations, or even temporary mental instability. In short, touching the flowers would be fatal.

In the past, even his subordinates and his imperial father’s women didn’t dare to come near these flowers without permission. Once, the strongest monster in the Underworld Realm came to touch these spider lilies, and it was still poisoned and asleep to this day – two thousand years had passed since then.

"There is no book recording about this," she said with embarrassment after hearing his explanation.

"Yue’er, it’s good that you’re fine," Diyu said, hugging her tightly with fear. If something happened to her, he would kill himself to accompany her.

"Can you touch these flowers, A’Yu?"

"I can. My connection to the world is strong enough to resist the flower’s influence," he proudly answered her. "I’m their king."

She smiled broadly.

"So, can I touch them again?" she asked, seeming to love the feeling of being wrapped by their fragrance.

"This..." He hesitated.

"I’ll be fine," she said. "You’re here, I won’t die." She trusted him.

The feeling of being trusted and relied on by his beloved woman was so good that the King of the Underworld Realm began to smile like a fool.

She flew close to them again, and carefully caressed one of the spider lilies.

The other red spider lilies gently swayed, spreading their petals and leaves as if they wanted to welcome her arrival.

Seeing them behave like obedient pets, Diyu’s lips twitched. If other people were to see this strange phenomenon, they would drop in awe.

"So, this is the Underworld Realm?" she asked, finishing her play with them. It was just her guess, and she didn’t expect him to nod.

"To avoid that devil from hurting you, I want you to cultivate here," he said. "Although the dark energy in this realm is too strong for humans to withstand, I know that Yue’er has a good place to practice."

He didn’t mention the Ethereal Small World, but he knew she had it.

Last time when he saw her at Crystal Bay, confronting a person from the Witchcraft clan, he was stunned when many people appeared and disappeared in front of her.

Some of them were her contracted partners; he knew it, but some were not, and they all came and went easily. The only possible explanation was that she had a portable artifact to hold living beings inside.

"So, you knew it," she nodded.

"How long do you think the Demon Emperor will return?" she asked, not knowing where the Mountain of Azure Dragon was.
