Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road

"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. freeweɓnøvel.com

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.

Suddenly, Shenlian Yingyue’s jaw dropped.

Unless, this young Demon King is that person? But he wasn’t supposed to appear yet.

Oh, I see. Shenlian Yingyue’s gaze shifted to Di Xiuyu, realization dawning upon her.

"Royal Sister, no one bullied me. She didn’t hurt me," the young Demon King shook his head, wiping his tears and obediently allowing his sister to clean the blood from his lips.

Despite his pitiful appearance, he forced a sunny smile. But when he turned to Shenlian Yingyue, he trembled slightly, as if he was afraid of her.

A deliberate act to create a misunderstanding!

"Guards, take this woman to prison!" Run Chu ordered immediately, not even bothering to ask what had happened.

Shi Ji, the Demon King, along with Yao and the cloaked demon who followed Run Chu, raised their hands in unison.

"We obey your command."

"I don’t recall any law in the Demon Realm that allows someone to be seized and punished without reason," Shenlian Yingyue frowned, stepping back to avoid the royal demon guards attempting to capture her. She knew explaining was pointless; Run Chu had already made up her mind.

"I am His Majesty’s beloved concubine. Wherever I stand, I make the rules," Run Chu sneered mockingly.

Shenlian Yingyue was about to fight back when Shenlian Yinzhu’s voice echoed in her mind, {Yue’er, go with them. I have a feeling that if we go there, we might find a clue about our father. I sense something calling us.}

Shenlian Yingyue’s eyelids trembled. Her expression changed.

Everyone assumed she was scared.

"Huang Yingyue, you reap what you sow." Di Xiuyu’s expression showed a trace of pity.

"If I remember correctly, you were the one who almost harmed this teenager before." Shenlian Yingyue turned to look at her.

"This woman too! Take her to prison!" Run Chu ordered coldly.

Di Xiuyu’s expression darkened.

"You, the fox who seduced my royal brother, I finally caught you today. Don’t think that just because you’re under His Majesty’s protection, I can’t do anything to you." Run Chu sneered.

"What right do you have to arrest me? Shen Xian ordered him to follow and protect me. Are you planning to disobey His Majesty’s orders?" Di Xiuyu remained calm.

Had Di Xiuyu not mentioned Shen Xian’s name so directly, it might have been fine. However, the way she spoke his name, so familiarly, only fueled Run Chu’s rage.

"I lost the Butterfly Hanfu His Majesty gave me on the first day I became his concubine. I suspect you stole it." She smiled maliciously, a stark contrast to her elegant face.

"This level of trickery, who do you think you’re fooling?" Di Xiuyu sneered.

"Your Highness, we found it. It was in Di Xiuyu’s room," two female demon maids approached, bowing respectfully.

One of them held a delicate silver Hanfu embroidered with lifelike butterflies.

"What do you have to say now, Di Xiuyu?" Run Chu’s icy gaze locked onto her.

Di Xiuyu’s eyelids twitched at the absurdity of the accusation.

Shenlian Yingyue, who had already predicted this conspiracy, found it rather amusing.
