Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 890: Chapter 418: You Make Me Happy

Although it had been a long time since they last met, Cheese was aware of Li Ye’s strong physique.

Now among those with the Sixth Sense, probably hardly anyone could match him.

And to leave a bite mark on Li Ye’s body that lasts for half a day, that requires considerable effort…

Clearly, this was deliberate.

Provocation? A declaration of sovereignty? A warning?

Why hadn’t she realized before that Doll had such a disposition?

Was it true that distance creates beauty?

Cheese took a deep breath, feeling an increasing bitterness and jealousy in her heart.

She had been rational and restrained.

Because she understood she was heading into danger, which was both her responsibility and ideal. She must personally investigate the truth from years past.

This journey might be a one-way trip.

Ultimately, it would only leave a grieving companion…

So, she stifled her own feelings.

To her understanding, this was the correct and responsible approach.

Just like what she had done, every farewell came with a sense of owing something, to be repaid upon the next meeting.

The first was a hug, the second a kiss… she looked forward to their next encounter.

Until the truth was revealed, until the enemy was defeated, only then could she…

But she hadn’t expected, her home would be stolen…

By a pure and shy girl, in the most brute way.

When informed of this news by the Fifth Team members who had come to support, Cheese remained silent for a long, long time.

She drank all the coffee in the camp, yet couldn’t calm her mind.

Regret and vexation rapidly bred deep within.

Until she discovered she was parasitized by the Heartless Fruit, she sighed softly.

Accepted her fate.

And prepared to meet her end.

With the Heartless Fruit’s parasite, she absolutely couldn’t leave Ten Thousand Dragon Lake alive.

She would give everything to seal this Apocalypse Level Heartless Fruit within Ten Thousand Dragon Lake.

In this situation, she felt somewhat relieved… that she hadn’t broken the ice.

However, Li Ye, who supposedly should have been recuperating in Giant City, appeared before her.

At that moment, some thoughts emerged deep within her heart.

Yet she remained rational, painstakingly suppressing those dangerous thoughts.

She, with the Heartless Fruit’s parasitism, could not drag him down…

But upon seeing that bite mark, her rationality was overtaken by surging negative emotions.

‘Infect him… Keep him at Ten Thousand Dragon Lake!’

‘It’s not just Doll who can play straightforward… You can too!’

‘You pondered so much, never daring to pierce the final layer. And she took it away without hesitation!’

‘Clearly, it was only because of his ignoring the curse…’

‘In the final days, you can have him.’

‘Before being killed, experience that pleasure. You wouldn’t want to die as a virgin, would you?’

‘Pull him along… into the Abyss…’

‘In the final moments of life, embrace him, kiss him, possess him…’

‘You are more qualified than that woman!’

‘As the Fifth Sense too, he has no defenses against you…’

In this instant, it was as if a mysterious and tempting voice was whispering in her ear, beguiling her mind.

It made her breath somewhat heavier. She had clearly decided that Li Ye should return safely, yet now she wavered internally.

Even though she knew this was the effect of the Heartless Fruit, she couldn’t help but think…

However, the next moment, Li Ye, sitting on a stone stump, seemed to suddenly remember something.

He took out a bunch of Spirit Fruit from his Reserve Space and handed it to the dazed Cheese.

“Hey, these are yours.”

“After so long without seeing you, all you’re giving me is broken fruit?” Cheese subconsciously spoke: “Actually, I want something meatier…”

Li Ye, looking puzzled, said: “You want meat? That’s easy, I have plenty of prepared meals in my Reserve Space. Doll was worried I might not eat well outside, so she prepared many ready-made dishes. The Reserve Space can keep objects fresh, so they won’t spoil.”

“She’s really quite thoughtful…” Cheese glanced at the empty plate, then at Li Ye, nodding slightly: “Alright, so what are these? Spirit Fruit?”

“They’re specialties from the Church. These are specially provided for Divine Chosen, other believers need to perform great deeds to earn these Spirit Fruit.” Li Ye explained the effects of the Spirit Fruit.

Shatang, Dan Mu, Jiarong, and Jibai.

Offering Cheese underwater breathing, flame resistance, cold resistance, and thunder resistance, respectively.

While Cheese ate the Spirit Fruit, Li Ye took out paper and pen to record the information on Heartless Fruit.

“By the way, Cheese, on my way in, I saw some ancient ruins.” Li Ye said.

“Yes, I know, those are the forebears of these human peers, who inherited a portion of the Disaster Fog heritage, they were once quite glorious.” Cheese said: “Did you encounter an attack?”

“I also saw Captain Cang Bai.”

“Yeah, she also once explored the ruins, evidently recorded.” Cheese said: “Each piece of ruins contains part of the heritage or history from past civilizations.”

“The various city states on the second level actually developed by acquiring part of the heritage. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to cultivate Spiritual Ability Users, and their technology would be stifled. They’d have to be nurtured by Extraordinary Creatures.”

“But within the ruins, there are actually defense mechanisms, those phantom residual sounds you saw.”

“They are essentially past strong individuals of that civilization, recorded by the ruins. Upon discovering intruders, they appear in this form to attack the intruder. And each intruder draws a residual sound.” Cheese continued: “Of course, if the intruder lacks divinity, the ruins won’t manifest a divine strong individual. Which is good for you.”
