Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 893

Chapter 893: Li Bing’s Gratefulness, Work Smart

She took a deep breath, attempting to soothe her rapidly beating heart. Her eyes were slightly red and brimming with fatigue. The pain of losing loved ones? What did they know about such pain?

Their questions echoed in her mind. She forced a smile, but it twisted into something self-deprecating. The truth was, she missed her parents terribly.

At that moment, she felt strong arms encircle her from behind.

"Master, we’re all here with you." Zhiyi’s gentle voice whispered in her ear as his tall frame embraced her carefully, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world. His tone was measured, cautious not to disturb her thoughts.

The others appeared around her almost simultaneously.

They saw her pain clearly. They felt her helplessness, the anguish radiating from her heart and soul. Strangely, they found themselves sharing that same pain. The woman they loved, the master they respected and adored - her sorrow had become their sorrow. How could they not feel her despair?

"Yue’er, I’m right here." Shenlian Yinzhu pulled her into his arms, his powerful frame embracing her gently while his fingers caressed her hair. "Everything is alright now. There won’t be any more tragic accidents like before." His voice softened like a feather drifting down from the clouds.

Zhiyi showed no objection to Shenlian Yinzhu’s actions. Surprisingly, none of the other men displayed jealousy at seeing their beloved woman in another’s embrace. Instead, they formed a protective circle around her, offering silent support and unconditional love.

"It’s good to have all of you here." She gave a small shake of her head to indicate they shouldn’t worry, managing a soft smile despite everything.

Xiong Zi Ying felt a pang of guilt. He had blamed her in the past, but seeing her current state made him realize his disciple never deserved to endure such suffering.

After some time, her visible mood stabilized. Whether her heart had truly healed or not, they all understood the truth but chose not to voice it. Since she clearly didn’t want them to share her sorrow, they pretended not to notice anything amiss.

"Master, what should we do next?" Xiao Nian asked cautiously, putting on a coquettish act that was immediately interrupted when Xiao Li pushed her aside to claim his spot in Shenlian Yingyue’s arms.

Xiao Nian’s face darkened like the soot-covered bottom of a cooking pot, but she didn’t dare retaliate. Having witnessed Xiao Li’s cruel methods against enemies and his terrifying jealousy firsthand, she knew better than to challenge him. The depressing truth was, she was the weakest among them - what could she possibly do?

Xiao Mei gave her a sympathetic pat on the back, which only made Xiao Nian pout more dramatically.

"We’ll wait here one more day," Shenlian Yingyue replied, absently stroking Xiao Li’s fur while tilting her head to rest against Xiao Lan’s body. "I want to ensure nothing happens to the Glass Lizard clan."

As she settled into a seated position, Jun Mu Yang pulled her onto his lap. She offered no resistance, he was her husband after all - instead leaning back against his broad shoulders and muscular chest.

Jun Mu Yang let out a satisfied groan, tightening his arms around her slender waist while pointedly ignoring the jealous glares coming from all directions.

Exactly one day later, news arrived via the Spirit Bees. She and her companions promptly departed the Glass Lizard clan’s territory. The outcome surprised her - she had believed her words would have little effect, yet everything had been resolved perfectly.

-------------------

When Li Bing and the others came out to see her, they found she had already left.

Li Bing’s eyes brimmed with heartfelt gratitude. Her intervention had bridged the chasm between him and his elder brothers, allowing them to finally understand each other’s pain and begin the difficult journey toward forgiveness.
