Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 703: Chapter 329 Cause and Effect_2

Actually, there are quite a lot of blessings that boost attacks. But the coverage and bonuses are never this fearsome.

For example, the Dragon Slaying Blessing of the traitor Feixue only works on the Dragon Clan.

Whereas this blessing covers all non-human species, Forbidden Zone Creatures, Returning Souls, Extraordinary Creatures, and even the derivative creatures of Taboo Items.

All non-human species… if humans were to receive such a blessing, even the Forbidden Zone must treat them with caution.

So, Li Yelai wanted it…

He wanted to freeload the power of the Fifth God!

If it were the Mythical Mimic of the Sixth Sense era, allowing Li Yelai to possess the ability to use multiple Faces at once.

Then, one hand would wield the power of the Fifth God, the other, the Blood God.

The damage dealt to non-human species would reach a terrifying 180%!

Wouldn’t that be one slash per creature?

“I believe that stealing the power of Chaos comes with its risks,” Yin Fire said: “There could be some hidden dangers that haven’t surfaced yet. Be cautious, you’ve done well enough… Surely you’re not planning to freeload off every Chaos God, are you?”

“I know, I’ve got it under control,” Li Yelai replied, his Face was imitating and mimicking the Divine Chosen, but he was not truly one of them.

There was always the risk of being corrupted by Chaos.

But he didn’t have many choices; instead of worrying about these potential issues, it was better to strive to become stronger.

He feared more than being influenced by the power of Chaos, it was being powerless to resist when a crisis struck, watching the people he cherished get hurt…

“Alright, it’s past midnight, you shouldn’t wander around anymore. Go back and rest,” Yin Fire chuckled: “The military parade is in a few days.”

“Do we need to participate in the parade?” Li Yelai asked.

After the military parade, three thousand Iron Guards and even more of the City Defense Army will head directly to Lava Mine City.

“You’d normally need to, but you have to go to Lava Mine City ahead of time. Don’t forget, you also need to visit the Hong Family to return the remains of the Supreme Vast,” Yin Fire reminded him: “So, you’ll be taking the Netherworld Train to Lava Mine City the day after tomorrow… Oh, it’s already past midnight, that means tomorrow.”

Lately, to strengthen the communication between the Giant Cities,

No.3 Border City plans to use the Netherworld Train to forge a path and thus break through the communication barriers between the Giant Cities.

In theory, as long as the train travels back and forth a few times, a relatively safe route would be established between the Giant Cities. Thereafter, other regular trains could travel, greatly reducing transportation costs.

But in reality, there are many difficulties.

The terrain in the wilderness is overly complicated.

However, the Netherworld Train itself won’t have problems transporting troops, and many heavy weapons will be sent to the outskirts of Lava Mine City via the train.

“As long as that Netherworld Train doesn’t refuse to let me on,” Li Yelai joked.

“That train still curses your name when it hears it. That’s what they call a displeased Mechanical Soul, huh?” Yin Fire laughed: “Also, the Ember Church will contact you once you arrive in Lava Mine City.”

“Will there be any risks?” Li Yelai asked.

“No, during that period, Lava Mine City will have the attention of many families and Giant Cities. Nearly ten beings with Overlord Level strength, along with the Amber King himself, will be present. They wouldn’t dare make an overt move,” Yin Fire sniggered: “At most, they’ll use your intelligence or authority to sneak into the Immortal Palace. Let’s wait and see if we can catch a bigger fish?”

“I wonder what their target could be?” Li Yelai said: “Zhu Tu has not informed me until now.”

“You’ll find out. I’m also curious about what else is inside the Immortal Palace…” After pondering for a moment, Yin Fire replied: “Let’s go along with their plans for now. If there’s an issue, we’ll surround and suppress them!”

After ending the call, Li Yelai restarted his vehicle.

Returning to the East City Branch, and after returning the vehicle, he went back to the family apartments.

However, scarcely had Li Yelai arrived home when the door to Li Yunyan’s room was thrown open.

Li Yunyan, draped in her nightgown, hair in disarray, clearly just had gotten out of bed.

“I knew it with that brain of yours…” Li Yunyan pointed at Li Yelai in angst: “Don’t tell me you just came back from outside and headed straight home?”

“What else? I do need to sleep, don’t I?” Li Yelai frowned.

“Fine, fine, fine… You are tough, plenty tough! Worthy of Champion Team One, tough even when screwed over!” Li Yunyan gritted her teeth: “Couldn’t you go and keep your sister-in-law company?”

“She… isn’t feeling well…” Li Yelai’s expression shifted: “And she should be asleep by now. Wouldn’t it disturb her?”

“Then you should be there for her all the more. It’s your fault she’s unwell…” Li Yunyan paused, then placed hands on hips: “Also, I’ve washed your sheets and blankets. There’s nowhere for you to sleep here.”

Seeing Li Yelai still hesitating, Li Yunyan scoffed, “Still standing there, huh? Fine, I do have an extra bed here. What, planning to sleep with your sister? Mom and Dad would probably kill you.”

“Neurotic!”

Li Yelai cursed under his breath as he walked towards the door, saying, “Call me if you need anything.”

“As if, this is a family apartment,” Li Yunyan retorted. “The Jing Family wouldn’t dare to come here. And the Church, I’m considered a high-ranking family member, so they should be courting my favor if they want to get ahead. Let them try their best to please me! They’d better feed me all the way to Supreme!”

“If they had the power, they’d have attacked the city by now!” Li Yelai mocked.

Watching Li Yelai close the front door and leave, Li Yunyan immediately pressed her eye to the peephole and watched Li Yelai enter the room opposite before finally sighing with relief.

“What a pity, this curse prevents me from even eavesdropping,” she mumbled, her lips pursing as she remembered the curse on the doll. Well, even if I weren’t cursed, I probably couldn’t overhear anything now. This really hinders sister-in-law relations.

On the other side, Li Yelai opened the door and entered the doll’s room.

Before setting off, the doll had given him the keys to her home.

He looked at the messy living room, and scenarios of past absurdities automatically sprang to mind.

Li Yelai exhaled a deep breath and cleaned the entire living room.

Traces on the couch and the floor were completely washed away.

He cracked open a window to let some of the room’s stale scents dissipate.

The couch cushions and the robe on the floor were washed separately.

Finally, he entered the doll’s bedroom.

The bedroom was dim, lit only by the girl’s steady breathing as she curled up on the bed, clutching the quilt, revealing her snow-like skin and seductive curves…

She must have been exhausted.

After all, she had used her abilities for a long time, which consumed a great deal of her physical and spiritual energy.

She really was beautiful—this beautiful girl now belonged to him.

Assured that everything was real, Li Yelai gently slipped under the covers and lay next to the girl.

Even though his movements were light, they still disturbed the girl, who opened her hazy eyes.

Seeing Li Yelai, she instinctively reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, then her soft smooth body moved in the blankets, pressing against Li Yelai.

“Welcome back, Xiao Ye.”

The doll whispered in Li Yelai’s ear, her hot breath spraying by his ear and making his body heat up.

“Does it still hurt?” Li Yelai asked in a low voice. After hesitating for a moment, his hand still landed on the girl’s slender waist.

This caused the doll’s cheeks to visibly redden as she said softly, “A little bit…”

However, she smelled a cool fragrance on Li Yelai.

“Xiao Ye… did you go to meet someone?” the doll asked quietly.

“Uh-huh, I went to see Jing Lin. On patrol, I ran into Little Mad King and escorted her back,” Li Yelai explained, but noticed the doll’s arms suddenly stiffen.

“Oh…” The doll pouted her lips, perhaps worried about Little Mad King due to the influence of the curse.

Li Yelai checked the time; it was two in the morning. He asked, “Are you hungry? Should I get you something to eat downstairs?”

The doll shook her head, “Not really hungry.”

“Then, shall we sleep?” Li Yelai responded.

But then, the doll blinked and said, “Kiss me first…”

“Okay…”

A few minutes later, the doll, breathing heavily, said, “Kiss me again…”

“Okay…”

A few minutes after that, the doll said dreamily, “More…”

And so, a few minutes later.

Sounds of entwined murmurs filled the room…
