Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 716

Chapter 716: Bing Xue’s Heart Demon

Jun Mu Yang rubbed his temples, unsure of how to explain things to everyone.

"A’Yang, I can’t break my promise with Ji Fulin. Everyone, Little Tulip is not a bad person." Just as the atmosphere became tense, Shenlian Yingyue held Jun Mu Yang’s hand and looked at him seriously. She explained to everyone, not wanting them to misunderstand Jun Mu Jin.

Jun Mu Yang wanted to say something, but Shenlian Yingyue shook her head and stood up to leave.

Sometimes, only by seeing things with her own eyes could she truly understand what was happening. If it was difficult for him to tell her, she wouldn’t force him.

She also wanted to check on Little Tulip and see if she was doing well. She treated Little Tulip like her own sister; how could she not go to her?

As she was standing in front of the magical herbal fields, a tall figure appeared behind her.

"Bing Xue, your cultivation level has risen again." Sensing his presence, she didn’t turn to look at him but smiled lightly.

"Sorry for leaving you alone." His long, light blonde hair flowed like the finest silk, swaying gently in the warm breeze.

His captivating face had a softness that seemed to radiate warmth. His dark blue eyes, reminiscent of glacial ice, were fixed deeply on her slender back.

"I’m not a child, and you didn’t leave me. Weren’t you always by my side every day?" She felt helpless and continued to gather the medicinal herbs for her alchemy.

"I’m useless." Bing Xue’s long eyelashes concealed the sadness in his eyes. He felt frustrated, knowing he could do nothing against the Demon Emperor while watching her being bullied by that man.

"You’re not useless; he is just very strong. It’s normal for none of us to be his match," Shenlian Yingyue replied in a comforting tone, offering logical reassurance after understanding what Bing Xue was referring to.

"Will you abandon me in the future?" Bing Xue approached her but hesitated to touch her, as if fearing that his hands would tarnish her purity.

"What makes you think that?" She was taken aback and finally turned to look at him.

"Are you hurt?" When she noticed his pale face, she felt a surge of fear and rushed to check on him.

"Please don’t abandon me," Bing Xue pleaded, gripping her hands tightly. His eyes were red, resembling those of an injured beast.

"Bing Xue, look at me. Who am I?" Shenlian Yingyue observed the fear, unease, and a multitude of heartbreaking emotions reflected in his beautiful eyes.

She shook his broad shoulders, trying to bring his soul back to present.

Upon hearing her question, Bing Xue’s pupils ceased their trembling. They focused, locking onto her exquisite face, as if the rest of the world had faded away. In that moment, she alone held the key to the meaning of life for him.

"I will never abandon you, unless I cease to exist in this world." Her words felt like a solemn vow, warming his desolate and uneasy heart.

"Yue...Master," he murmured slowly, extending his arms to embrace her and resting his face against her neck.

Shenlian Yingyue frowned but allowed him to hold her, gently stroking his back.

She noticed a group of people and beasts watching them from afar, their expressions filled with confusion.

"Bing Xue has a heart demon that emerged when he broke through," Hong Zuan quietly conveyed, sharing the understanding that he and the others held.

Shenlian Yingyue’s eyes widened. No wonder he was acting so strangely. What had he witnessed?

Did his heart demon dredge up memories of being abandoned by Huang Bai Xing, and was forced to sacrifice himself to kill Diyu and rescue everyone in the secret realm of Congzhu?

"If I ever abandon you, you can punish me..." She started, but he quickly pressed his palm over her mouth and leaned his forehead against hers.
