Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 801

Chapter 801: Where Is She Now?

"Would you think less of me if I told you that," He hesitated, torn between the urge to reveal his secret and the instinct to protect her from fear.

"What is it?" she asked, leaning in slightly, her innocent curiosity prompting her to inch closer. It was an unconscious gesture, devoid of any intent to allure.

Tuzi AoFen found himself captivated by the delicate curve of her ear, which reminded him of a ripe peach. He had an overwhelming desire to taste its sweetness, but instead he swallowed hard, his pupils dilating as he leaned nearer.

"Fen Fen?" Without waiting for his answer, she tilted her head to catch his gaze, only to find herself lost in the depths of his dark eyes.

Her heart raced at the intensity of the moment, prompting her to suddenly push him down, using her own spiritual strength to shield him from the unseen menace approaching from behind. Without looking back, she unleashed her most formidable attack in a swift motion.

"Boom!"

In that instant, the ominous sky illuminated briefly, casting a radiant glow across the darkened landscape before plunging back into darkness. A shadowy form appeared above, resembling a colossal tree, its twisted branches writhed like sinister tendrils against the moonlight, creating unsettling patterns on the ground below.

"I think I just saw an octopus dancing in the sky!" Shenlian Yingyue exclaimed, her eyes fixed upward, trying to make sense of the shadow.

Tuzi AoFen: "....."

The shadow above: "....."

Oc, octopus dancing?

"Oh goodness, Fen Fen, are you alright?" As she helped him back up, her gaze darted behind them, probing for any hint of danger.

Standing behind her, Tuzi AoFen’s cerise pink eyes flickered with a strange glimmer, a dark pink hue that skirted dangerously close to crimson before settling back into their usual gentle shade. He appeared just as innocent and gorgeous as ever.

"What just happened? Did something really attack us?" she asked anxiously, scanning her surroundings and employing her divine sense to detect any lingering threat. When she looked back at the sky, it was clear, the malevolent presence seemingly vanished, leaving only the tranquil pale light of the moon to illuminate the scene.

It was as though nothing had occurred at all, the shadows of doubt fading into the murky depths of her imagination.

"It’s alright, Xiao Yueyue, it must have just been your imagination," Tuzi AoFen reassured her, placing his hands on her shoulders to soothe her trembling nerves.

Shenlian Yingyue remained quiet, her brow furrowed in concern. The attack had felt so genuine that she believed that a mere second’s delay in her reaction could have cost her and Fen Fen their lives. Doubt gnawed at her as she scanned her surroundings meticulously, her gaze suddenly landing on a tall tree nearby.

This tree had struck her as peculiar when she first entered the forest with Fen Fen, who had brought her to stand beneath its towering presence, its leaves and branches obscured from view. While it appeared to be an ordinary tree, there was something unusual about it that piqued her curiosity.

Despite her doubts, she felt helpless. Her divine sense couldn’t penetrate her surroundings, and even if it could, she hesitated to use it too freely, wary of alerting the formidable creatures lurking in this forest.
