Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 771

Chapter 771: Demon King Shi and Demon Prince Xie

At first, several men was confused, unprepared to let her grant this demon an opportunity to speak. Anyone who dared insult their beloved, intentional or not, deserved to face the consequences. However, upon hearing the demon’s admission, they narrowed their eyes in contemplation.

The dark intentions they had aimed at this demon began to wane. They studied her, noting the calmness etched on her face, and their gazes flickered with curiosity.

Shenlian Yingyue ensured there was no deceit in the demon’s words by tossing a pill into his mouth. While the standard pill bore no effect on demons, this particular one, crafted from Spiritual Water and Miracle Water, possessed properties that could mend the wounds of beasts, potentially alleviating his suffering.

As expected, the demon’s pain began to subside, and his wounds visibly improved. He no longer appeared as an empty shell or a wholly sorrowful creature.

"What did you just give me?" the black-haired demon inquired, astonished. He anticipated it would take him months to recuperate, but his current state suggested he might fully heal within days.

"I don’t remember knocking your senses away," she replied coolly.

"I’m not an idiot, I’m asking what’s in that pill," the demon’s lips twisted in a mix of annoyance and bewilderment.

She remained silent, and the demon realized he shouldn’t have pressed her. It was a kindness on her part to let him leave, so how could he expect her to share her own hidden truths? Just when he feared he had crossed a line and braced himself for her wrath, she finally said something.

"Regardless of the pain you may have experienced from those who are supposed to care for you, always cherish yourself and recognize your worth. Don’t allow their betrayals to hold you captive. There are many trustworthy individuals in the world, and one day, you will meet one who truly deserves your trust," She couldn’t quite grasp why she felt compelled to utter these words to a demon, an entity commonly regarded as the enemy of humankind, yet the urge overtook her.

The demon’s eyes grew wide. The several men nearby shared subtle smiles, their gazes filled with affection and warmth as they looked at her. As always, she remained unchanged.

Not wanting to meet the demon’s gaze any longer, she didn’t care whether he had comprehended her words or even listened at all.

She reached out to Tian Tian and the others. Upon learning that the plan was nearing fruition, she chose to stay vigilant.

{Master, there’s no sign of the invisible demon around the treasure warehouse,} Xiao Yun informed her.

{Even after we cleared the treasures, there’s no trace of this demon. We’ve already dealt with those more powerful demons.} Lu Long’s tone was laced with satisfaction.

{Master, all the prisoners have been released and are now making their way to the Sacred Island. We’ve also taken care of the demons intending to impede us,}

{As long as we get these individuals to the Sacred Island, our mission will be a complete success, Master.}

She surveyed the chaotic scene before her: sheets of ice blanketed the streets, the city’s gates and walls lay in ruins, and wild torrents of water surged through the alleys. Thunder rumbled overhead, accompanied by pulsating arcs of electricity. All around her, demons writhed in pain, while the human prisoners and enslaved souls seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"It’s this human woman! She’s the one causing all of this chaos!" shouted a few demons, their disdain evident as they hurled muddy water toward Shenlian Yingyue.

These few demons, nursing old grudges after her earlier victories over them, were quick to attribute the disaster to her presence. They had no clear evidence linking her to the mayhem, but their hatred for her spurred them to connect the dots, revealing their conviction that she was at the heart of the destruction.

The oppressive silence enveloped the desolate city, amplifying its eerie presence. Any human lucky, or unfortunate, enough to find themselves here would surely feel an overwhelming instinct to recoil from the menacing aura of the demons that had just emerged.

"Human?" Every gaze was riveted on Shenlian Yingyue, her uniqueness unmistakable.

Eyes then shifted toward the cloaked figures shrouded in darkness: Shenlian Yinzhu, Zhiyi, Jun Mu Yang, and Bing Xue. Hong Zuan, the little creature, remained coiled around her neck, seemingly oblivious to the tension.

"Indeed, Prince Xie, it is a human woman," they implied, indicating that she was the notable anomaly. The cloaked figures remained enigmatic; their sudden appearance only heightened the strangers’ disquiet.

"What a disaster!" Demon Prince Xie growled, ruthlessly swatting away the demons that dared to approach, the force of the wrath even causing distress to the black-haired demon under this might.
