Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 870

Chapter 870: Run Jue’s Wrath [Run to the Voice That Is Calling!]

When she saw Run Jue like this, she didn’t know how to feel. She remembered one saying: Sometimes, we have to lose everything just to gain something better.

But could this saying apply to him? He lost Run Chu’s love and affection, yet he gained the heroine’s affection. But was he truly happy?

Who said that every ending an author and heaven wrote satisfied every character’s wishes? Only the characters themselves knew what they truly desired.

Perhaps the emotions in her eyes were too complex, everything she was thinking was reflected on her face.

"This sister, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Run Jue, the young Demon King, tilted his head. He couldn’t explain how he felt at that moment. Her eyes were too beautiful to be real, yet too clear to be understood.

But why was she looking at him like this?

Shenlian Yingyue snapped out of her thoughts. She stopped looking at him and focused on speaking with Shenlian Yinzhu, asking him how to find a clue about her father in this dungeon prison.

Run Jue’s doubts remained unsolved, yet she ignored him. The feeling was unsettling. Still, he told himself he didn’t care. He turned to see Di Xiuyu, whose expression had turned unreadable.

Unlike the soft smile she had given him before, she now simply looked at him in silence.

"Sister Xiuyu, don’t blame me for being ruthless and ignoring you. Even if the Demon Emperor himself had appeared in that moment, I would still have chosen to stand by her side," Run Jue said with a helpless smile.

"Your duty is to protect me. Have you forgotten that?" Di Xiuyu stepped closer, her expression unreadable.

"Are you going to complain to the Demon Emperor?" Run Jue sighed, his elegant face tinged with sadness. Though his words sounded like a plea for her not to tell Shen Xian, there was no trace of fear in his eyes.

"You failed, and you deserve punishment. I don’t care what your reason was for choosing Run Chu, but you are destined to serve the Demon Emperor, who rules the entire Demon Realm. His orders are absolute. If you ignore them and prioritize your personal feelings, do you still deserve to be called a Demon King?" Di Xiuyu lifted her gaze, staring straight at him with a piercing glare.

She knew he was obsessed with Run Chu, that he loved her, but now was not the time to reveal her own emotions. No one in the world knew she had a system that contained information on everyone here.

Her mission was to gain his Affection Points. Now that they were all gone, even if she were a saint, she couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied and unhappy.

Mr. Potato (grinning): Are you sure no one knows? (He then winked at Yueyue.)

Run Jue’s eyes darkened.

"Run Jue, if he finds out that his concubine is causing trouble for me, do you think he will let her off easily? You know my role to him, don’t you? He ’needs’ me to remain safe and sound," Di Xiuyu smiled mysteriously.

Yes, Shen Xian needed her.

Even if it was only to observe her powers and understand why she could forge weapons capable of killing demons, it didn’t change the fact that she played a significant role now.

"Don’t you dare touch her!" Run Jue’s red eyes turned dark red with fury. He suddenly whispered a spell, sealing the prison cell, before grabbing Di Xiuyu by the throat and slamming her to the ground.

His once-sunny smile vanished, replaced by a chilling coldness. At this moment, he looked even more terrifying than Demon King Shi.

Di Xiuyu was no match for him. Despite her vigilance, she was easily overpowered, pinned helplessly beneath his tall frame.

"Touch her? Anyone who hurts me must pay!" Though her elegant face turned pale from pain, her sharp gaze remained unwavering.
