Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 506 - 238: All Cards on the Table

In the moment she saw that bag of candy, Cheese’s forced composure instantly crumbled.

Everything in her vision seemed to turn blood red, just like the bloodstains atop the pure white candy. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Countless scenes surged forth from Cheese’s mind.

In that first hospital ward, the girl reached out to the young man.

"Disaster Handler, codename Cheese."

"My name is Li Yelai."...

In the kitchen of the Wang Family Mansion, the girl, draped in clothes covering her exposed skin, pointed and jabbered at the young man.

"You almost choked me to death, got me all dirty! Pervert!"

The young man blushed at her teasing...

In the rest area of the Black Prison, the young man organizing his gear asked, "Did you bring enough saccharin?"

"Mmm-hmm," the girl responded lazily while drinking her coffee.

"Just to be safe, I brought some more for you," the young man said as he tucked a few bags of saccharin into his pocket.

"So thoughtful~" she praised, patting the young man’s shoulder...

The two parted ways in Giant City, each looking forward to their next meeting...

Now, her memories were like sharp knives, piercing her rationale full of holes.

He burst out of the flames, waving his long spear, not to kill her, but... to protect her.

Just like back then, facing the Void Realm Creature, he once again stepped forward with a heroic stance to save her.

He also brought her candy, he never forgot their promise!

But she... was...

But why? You’ve already become a Divine Chosen... why remember all this?

Why come to save me? Why make me suffer more?

Her anguished wail echoed across the battlefield.

The curse of sugar deficiency left her breathless, struggling even to stand.

She staggered toward Li Yelai, tears mingling with blood as they rolled down.

"Why? What are you doing? Why save me? Why... bring this... you’re the Blood God Chosen One... don’t play these Deceit Daos... my heart hurts so much..."

Eventually, Cheese weakly knelt beside Li Yelai, extending trembling hands to wipe the blood from his face, hot tears falling on his cheeks, leaving a murky trail of blood.

She questioned softly, almost as if speaking to herself.

Friends turned into Chaos Chosen, family members transformed into Corpse Puppets that battled her, friends who became Divine Chosen yet rushed out of the flames to protect her...

Strike after strike nearly twisted her... even the Soul Well trembled.

But she couldn’t get an answer.

Li Yelai was directly hit by the Spirit Annihilation, the ferocious Ancient Dragon roared, gnawing at his spirit, causing his Void Realm Projection to momentarily dissipate.

It nearly destroyed his sanity. The blessing of the Blood God offered no protection for the psyche.

At this moment, blood flowed from his seven orifices, he couldn’t see clearly, nor could he hear...

But he could feel a soft palm cradling his cheek, hot tears sliding down his face.

It seemed there was a familiar voice whispering in his ear, the warm breath brushing across his cheek.

The next second, Cheese saw Li Yelai tremblingly stretch out his arm, groping on the ground, grabbing a dropped saccharin.

At last, shakily lifting it up...

Looking at that bloodstained saccharin.

Cheese’s tears gushed forth, revealing an ugly smile.

Then, she lowered her head slightly.

And Li Yelai... felt his fingers enveloped by a moist and tender touch.

Li Yelai slowly exhaled a breath of stale air...

...

And as Li Yelai suddenly collapsed, the battle between the ’Champion Members’ and Ye Boshou grew more fierce.

Both sides restrained each other, and with Li Yelai’s own formidable strength, they managed to maintain some balance.

Now, Li Yelai was directly hit by Spirit Annihilation at close range, a psychic attack that left him incapable of further combat, a perfect opportunity to kill him!

Black Umbrella was extremely anxious, frantically controlling the Corpse Puppets to pounce toward Cheese, trying to snatch Li Yelai’s body.

That was his future body; if it were completely destroyed by Champion Team One, it would be all over. He would have invested so much for nothing and provoked the wrath of two major Sects of Divine Chosen.

He had to succeed! He had to acquire Li Yelai’s intact body!

It was close! His true body was almost there! It was close!

Now, all he could do was pray that ’Cheese’ from Ye Boshou didn’t want to destroy Li Yelai’s body.

Thus, all ’Champion Members’ abandoned their current enemies, furiously attacking Cheese.

And Ye Boshou also saw Black Umbrella’s scheme, their Spiritual Energy surged to full power to block.

A Ye Boshou cried out, "Cheese, quickly replenish your sugar levels!"

"Give him his funeral! Aren’t you his friend? Do it!"

"Preserve the last bit of human dignity for him! Hurry!"

"Destroy his body, don’t let these beasts take it away!"

"Quick! Cheese!"

"Block them! Night General, you cannot fall into their hands!"

The battle intensified on both sides.

Some approached amidst the fight, attempting to seize or destroy Li Yelai’s body.

However, the moment they stepped within ten meters of Cheese.

A terrifying Dragon Roar suddenly exploded.

Dragon Roar·Retreat!

With the sound, all the strong fighters approaching her were repelled more than ten meters by an immense force.

Night Generals and ’Champion Members’ alike were repelled.

Cheese still slumped on the ground, holding Li Yelai’s face, letting him rest on her lap.

She swallowed the blood-soaked candy, her demeanor more fierce than ever.

’Suggestion, vision deprivation.’

’Speech Spirit·Flame Explosion’

’Speech Spirit·Thunder Pond’

’Dragon Roar·Retreat’

’Dragon Roar·Disarm’
