Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 898

Chapter 898: Her Protectiveness [Shen Xian’s Return]

Qilin Yu and Jingling Xiuli finally took proper notice of Shenlian Yingyue. Her direct declaration had caught them off guard, but the sight of Peng Ruining being rendered speechless brought them a sense of unexpected satisfaction.

Her companions watched her with curious eyes, but none of them questioned her. This was the first time she had so openly admitted her dislike for someone. In the past, she had always been cautious with her words, afraid of hurting others unintentionally.

"Why don’t you like me?" Peng Ruining blurted out.

It wasn’t entirely his fault; anyone would question why someone would hate them so openly and without clear cause.

"Because you treat my loved ones like objects to trade. Who do you think you are, to use them as bargaining chips?" she said coldly, her brows furrowing. Her voice was laced with biting chill.

Peng Ruining was stunned, completely at a loss for words. And so were those around him.

"Besides, I don’t like the way you look at them, as if you’re stripping them naked with your eyes." Without waiting for any response, Shenlian Yingyue’s figure vanished.

She didn’t care about his tragic future. She didn’t care about sticking to the plot anymore. Right now, she only cared about defending her loved ones. She wouldn’t let them waste their time on someone like Peng Ruining.

She alone was more than enough to deal with him.

"Hey!!" Peng Ruining hadn’t expected her to act so decisively. Before he could even react, her fist slammed into his face, forcing him several steps backward. The blow discolored his skin, turning his once-beautiful face blue and purple. Ruined in an instant.

Shenlian Yinzhu and the others looked at her with both fondness and amusement. This was the first time their beloved woman had shown such possessiveness and protectiveness over them. Naturally, they were more pleased than anything else.

"King!!" The Storm Rocs cried out, shocked at how swiftly and easily she had moved. They rushed forward to assist him, trying to pick him up.

No matter how they personally felt about their king, they couldn’t deny his contributions. Peng Ruining had indeed made the Peng Clan stronger. They had long chosen to overlook his sleeve-breaking tendencies. In their eyes, as long as someone was powerful enough, they could do whatever they wanted in this world.

"Damn it, woman! You’re looking for death!" Peng Ruining roared in fury, flames igniting in his eyes. He refused his subordinates’ help and disappeared from sight.

Don’t be deceived by Peng Ruining’s usual playful and flamboyant demeanor; he possessed skills that had made countless enemies suffer over the years. When he became truly enraged, the consequences were terrifying.

Shenlian Yingyue stood tall and unyielding, ready for battle. Recently, she had felt increasingly protective of her loved ones. She didn’t fully understand the reason behind this change, but she accepted the feelings and opened her heart to them.

Her graceful figure stood firm amidst the storm that was about to erupt. Her expression remained calm and unreadable. Spiritual power gathered around her slender fingers, enveloping them in purple and red flames, turning the surroundings into a searing battlefield.

Both Jingling Xiuli and Qilin Yu narrowed their eyes. That intense heat and the unique dual-colored flame, it felt strangely familiar, but they couldn’t quite place it yet.

Xiao Yun’s rainbow-colored eyes shimmered as he sensed several powerful presences approaching from afar. He said nothing. Instead, he simply observed her battle with silent attentiveness.

As always, her companions stood behind her, ready to shield her from any external threat. Their eyes remained fixed on her, prepared to strike if anyone dared interfere.
