Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 704

Chapter 704: Peach Blossom

The little girl who once was weak had now grown into a beautiful woman.

"T-Third Miss!!" Peach Blossom’s expression changed the moment Shenlian Yingyue turned her gaze in her direction. Her hopeful eyes dimmed, replaced by an icy coldness that sent chills to the bone, packed with a murderous intent.

Painful memories from the past flashed before her eyes, coupled with the torment she had endured. Peach Blossom’s eyes turned red, but she clenched her fists tightly, trying to suppress the turmoil within her.

Her contracted weapon, the Nightmare Chain, sensed her bloodthirst. It stirred restlessly, radiating a crimson energy, eager to emerge from her sleeve and take Shenlian Yingyue’s life.

Shenlian Yingyue’s face stiffened; she was now presenting herself as the Third Miss of the Huang family. With her black hair and dark eyes, she regretted having removed her cloak and mask.

’Huang Yingyue’ had once caused Peach Blossom immense pain, shattering her life to the point where Peach Blossom wished for death. How could Peach Blossom not hate ’her’?

"Third Miss, your life truly is remarkable. I thought you had perished somewhere," Peach Blossom sneered coldly, having momentarily suppressed her emotions.

She had to think of her sister, so that a warm current spreading through her chest, suppressing her mood now.

Though fear and hatred still simmered beneath the surface, she regained her composure, yet couldn’t help but be sarcastic toward someone she despised so deeply.

She had come here for a purpose, never expecting to encounter this person. She thought Shenlian Yingyue was still in the Inner Domain; when had she returned?

The mere sight of this face filled Peach Blossom with disgust.

Shenlian Yingyue’s lips twitched. She turned to leave, but Peach Blossom would not allow her to escape.

No longer was she the timid girl who had once scurried like a frightened rat in front of ’Huang Ying Yue’. Her sister had given her a new lease on life; she could not disappoint her.

"Stop!" Peach Blossom commanded, her slender eyes glinting sharply like a phoenix’s. Her pretty lips curled into a dangerous sneer when she sensed that Shenlian Yingyue had no spiritual power.

(Peach Blossom = 桃花 = Táohuā)

"Didn’t you go to the Divine Kunlun Sect to learn? Why can’t I sense your strength?" Tao Hua forcibly suppressed her disgust as she circled Shenlian Yingyue.

Shenlian Yingyue was utterly speechless. What had Peach Blossom done? She herself couldn’t gauge Tao Hua’s strength at all.

{This girl has a treasure, master. If I’m correct, it is the Pearl of Illusion. This pearl helps merpeople conceal their strength and is a treasure of the merman clan. It also allows anyone who swallows it to cultivate twice as fast as ordinary people,} Xiao Yun explained.

His colorful eyes could see through everything in this world, an ability that was quite unsettling.

He could detect the pale pink light emanating from the pearl in Tao Hua’s Dantian. This indicated that she had swallowed a treasure capable of hiding her true strength.

{Yunyun, you’re so powerful.} Shenlian Yingyue nodded with appreciation under Xiao Yun’s soft eyes looking at her.

After six years, she was both surprised and pleased by how far Tao Hua had come. She had encountered great opportunities, but how had Tao Hua made her way to the sea?

"What are you looking at?" Tao Hua frowned in disgust and moved away from her.

Tao Hua regarded Shenlian Yingyue with suspicion. Why did she get the impression that this person had changed? Moreover, why did this person evoke such a familiar feeling?

Tao Hua shook her head vigorously. It couldn’t be; they were different people!

Just as the two were locked in their standoff, a figure dressed in blue hanfu appeared.

"You..." Huang Donghau arrived just in time to prevent Tao Hua from attacking Shenlian Yingyue. A brief look of happiness crossed his face before it was replaced by a weary expression.
