Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 868

Chapter 868: Run Chu’s Conspiracy

"Do you know Concubine Run, Run Chu?" Di Xiuyu asked, noticing that Shenlian Yingyue was deliberately ignoring both her and the Demon King. She went straight to the point.

"No idea." Shenlian Yingyue responded nonchalantly. What does the Daughter of Destiny want now?

"But last time, I saw you talking to her." The young Demon King’s innocent eyes widened.

Shenlian Yingyue’s expression remained unchanged, though she doubted their motives. She had indeed spoken to Run Chu before, but it wasn’t a normal conversation; it was just one of Run Chu’s jealous and misunderstanding-filled episodes.

"I came here to remind you that she is plotting something terrible against you. You should be wary of her while you’re staying here," Di Xiuyu said, casually sitting down on a stone chair despite being an uninvited guest.

Shenlian Yingyue’s hands paused. It seemed Run Chu wouldn’t let her go easily, especially after being injured by the Bunny Goddess Mirror last time.

However, when she lifted her head and caught the cunning smile on Di Xiuyu’s face, she returned the smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes, "Di Xiuyu, thank you for your reminder. Here’s a reminder from me to you: The news that you were taken to the secret chamber by the Demon Emperor and that he sent a Demon King to protect you has spread everywhere."

Di Xiuyu’s smile faltered.

To put it simply, the one Run Chu would actually target was not Shenlian Yingyue but Di Xiuyu, the unknown woman who had seemingly received the Emperor’s ’favor.’

The young Demon King watched the two women’s interaction with interest. Sure enough, this antagonist deserves her reputation. She never suffers losses and always manages to turn the tables effortlessly.

"Please, keep your distance from me," Shenlian Yingyue politely requested to teenager who was watching the fun.

The young Demon King, who had been chuckling, "..."

"Sister, I’m just watching your alchemy silently. Why are you chasing me away?" His sunny smile was replaced by an aggrieved expression.

To outsiders, it looked as if she had bullied him.

Shenlian Yingyue felt three metaphorical black lines appear on her forehead. This white lotus teenager is so hard to deal with.

Suddenly, tears slipped down from his red eyes. He buried his face in his knees and sobbed silently, his broad shoulders trembling like an abandoned animal.

Out of nowhere, he coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, his face pale.

Shenlian Yingyue was shocked.

Just as she was about to ask Di Xiuyu what had happened to him, the sound of footsteps echoed. Within a minute, a blast of spiritual power was shot straight at her.

She swiftly put away her alchemy furnace into her small world and dodged. Fortunately, her cultivation had risen by an entire realm, increasing her speed and awareness.

Boom!

The giant tree she had just been sitting under was obliterated. Not even the trunk remained.

"How dare you bully my royal brother?!" A slender figure in a red robe entered. Her face was as cold as winter frost.

Run Chu arrived, followed by several royal demon guards, two Upper Rank Demons, and a Demon King, Shi Ji.

"Royal Brother, are you alright? Did this woman bully you?" Run Chu hurried over, her tone soft as she took out a handkerchief to wipe his blood.

Shenlian Yingyue’s brows furrowed. Royal brother? Why didn’t she know that Run Chu had a royal brother when she read the novel?

But as she watched Run Chu’s affectionate care for the young Demon King, it was clear she wasn’t acting; her love for him was genuine.
