I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 100

Chapter 100

Dragon Summit.

Huangfu Yue, holding Ji Wan, arrived at a cave entrance.

She felt a sense of unease. She had never known that such a place existed on Dragon Seeking Mountain.

The night was already deep, and a gust of cold wind suddenly blew.

Huangfu Yue gently tightened the cloak around Ji Wan, wrapping her up to shield her from the cold wind.

Suddenly, a faint sound reached Huangfu Yue’s ears. She immediately became vigilant.

“Come out.”

Huangfu Yue’s cold gaze fell upon the figure hiding in the shadows.

“Huangfu Yue, you’ve come.” A raspy, yet ruthless, old man’s voice was heard.

In the next second, a person walked out, illuminated by the faint moonlight.

“Lan Hongyi.”

Huangfu Yue looked at the man in front of her and instantly recalled that he was one of the ambitious rebel leaders of the former dynasty.

She replied coldly, her gaze fixed on Lan Hongyi with caution.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect the former princess to remember me. It’s my honor.

I believe you are a smart person.

So I’ll be direct.

Hand over Ji Wan and cooperate with me.

The reward is that I will share the Dragon’s Lair Treasure with you.”

Lan Hongyi pretended to be a collaborator, but his eyes hid a deep sinister look.

“Hand over the antidote,” Huangfu Yue didn’t respond to Lan Hongyi’s collaboration request and went straight to the point.

“Heh, young people, everything has its limits.

If you want to save Princess Ji, this antidote is a condition of our cooperation.”

Lan Hongyi stroked his beard and said calmly, as if he were just a senior concerned about the younger generation.

“Heh, what a lot of nonsense.” Huangfu Yue didn’t give Lan Hongyi time to prepare.

Her tone was calm, as if she didn’t put Lan Hongyi in her eyes at all.

Hearing Huangfu Yue’s words.

Lan Hongyi’s face, which had been feigning kindness, instantly turned blue.

“You… Heh, a mere survivor of a fallen dynasty. Since the gentle way doesn’t work, I’ll use force. Hand over Ji Wan.”

Lan Hongyi lightly waved his hand behind him.

In the next second, a large number of black-clad men surged out from the shadows.

Huangfu Yue, holding Ji Wan, skillfully dodged the incoming attacks.

Suddenly, many figures also appeared from behind her.

Jiang Li and a large group of well-trained guards stood in front of Huangfu Yue.

For a moment, the large group of guards surrounded the area around the cave, making it impossible to pass through.

But Lan Hongyi didn’t feel afraid. Instead, a slight smile appeared on his old, wrinkled face.

“Hmph, you don’t know what’s good for you.”

A sinister look appeared in Lan Hongyi’s eyes.

Since that was the case, he wouldn’t hold back.

For some reason, the first few soldiers at the front inexplicably fell and started twitching.

“Retreat, it’s Illusory Smoke,” Huangfu Yue said with a frown, glancing at the symptoms of the fallen soldiers.

“Hand over Ji Wan, and I might spare your life,” Lan Hongyi said with an arrogant smile.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, as if he was sure to win.

“Huangfu Yue, hand Wan’er over to me. As long as we open the Dragon’s Lair Treasure, I will give her the antidote,” Ji Minghao also came out from the shadows.

He looked at Huangfu Yue and the bloodless Ji Wan, who seemed to be sleeping in an ice coffin in her arms, with a complex expression.

“Jiang Li, protect Ji Wan well,” Huangfu Yue ignored the two of them. She carefully placed Ji Wan next to a tree and ordered.

Soon, a protective circle centered around Ji Wan was formed.

Huangfu Yue casually drew a sword from a guard.

Her entire aura instantly erupted. The powerful internal energy was instantly applied to her arm. She swung her sword with simple but powerful moves toward Ji Minghao.

The Illusory Smoke would only affect those with unstable minds and posed no threat to her.

Ji Minghao knew that nothing could be changed now. He also picked up his sword and attacked Huangfu Yue.

For a moment, the sickly aura on Ji Minghao disappeared, replaced by the internal energy he had cultivated for many years.

For a moment, he and Huangfu Yue were locked in a fierce battle.

As for Lan Hongyi, he had no intention of participating. His gaze was fixed on the protective circle around Ji Wan.

A malevolent smile appeared on his face.

“Ruyan, go and snatch Ji Wan,” Lan Hongyi said coldly, his tone threatening.

“Ruyan?” Hearing the familiar name, Jiang Li, who was at the front of the line, showed a look of shock in her eyes.

A black-clad person wearing a veil with heterochromatic eyes walked to Jiang Li.

Ruyan’s grip on her sword unconsciously tightened, and a hint of pain flashed in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Li.

Had it finally come to this?

The two didn’t speak. In the next second, who knows whose sword moved first.

The two instantly started fighting.

Ruyan was never good at swords; she was good at poison.

But her eyes were filled with unspeakable hesitation and sadness, and her lips were tightly pursed under her veil.

Her sword moves seemed deadly, but none of them landed on Jiang Li.

She was ultimately unwilling to harm Jiang Li in the slightest.

Looking at the fighting below, and knowing he was about to reap the benefits.

Lan Hongyi looked at the moon in the sky, watching as the full arc appeared little by little.

Thinking of the days to come, he would become the new emperor.

His expression couldn’t help but become manic.

In the past, to seize the throne, he had bewitched Huangfu Yue’s father to become addicted to cultivating elixirs.

He sent Huangfu Yue’s mother, who was from a general’s family, to the border to die.

To gain allies, he forced his only daughter to marry Ji Yuanhan through a scheme.

He had calculated everything just for this supreme position.

But he never expected that a small detail would ruin everything.

He had overlooked that woman.

She should have died in battle according to his plan.

But she had directly overturned all of his plans.

Remembering that woman, a vicious look appeared on Lan Hongyi’s face.

Heh, today.

He wouldn’t be so foolish. He was the new emperor.

Meanwhile, in the system space.

A woman in a simple ancient-style white dress.

Slowly approached Ji Wan.

She gently wrapped her arms around Ji Wan’s waist and pressed herself against Ji Wan’s back.

Even though the person behind her was just a phantom with no physical body.

Ji Wan, who had been burying her face in her knees, suddenly stiffened.

A familiar and nostalgic feeling washed over her.

She couldn’t help but feel a pang in her nose, and tears flowed out like a dam breaking.

Ji Wan hurriedly wanted to turn her head to check.

But when she was about to do so.

She didn’t dare, because she was afraid of the feeling of disappointment.

Just as Ji Wan thought it was all just her imagination.

“Don’t be afraid. We’ll meet soon. I will wait for you. I’ve always been here.”

Wuyan’s face rested on Ji Wan’s soft hair, and she whispered in her ear, her cold voice full of gentleness and love.

Hearing this familiar voice out of the blue.

Ji Wan felt as if her blood had solidified in an instant.

A name instantly appeared in Ji Wan’s mind.

But she didn’t know who the owner of this name was. However, Ji Wan’s wildly beating heart told her.

She knew them.

She couldn’t hold back anymore. Just as she was about to turn around, a pair of hands covered her eyes.

She couldn’t see any light.

Feeling the coolness of the fingertips of the person behind her.

Ji Wan’s tears flowed even more fiercely.

She had touched her.

“Woo… Wuyan, you… please don’t leave again, okay?” Ji Wan wanted to break free from the hands on her eyes and turn around.

Her voice was hoarse and tearful, a heartbreaking sound.

“Don’t cry. I’ve been by your side. I’ve never left,” Wuyan’s embrace around Ji Wan tightened little by little.

“Don’t leave, please,” Ji Wan’s heart ached for some reason, and her voice was filled with pleading.

“I’ve never left you. Go back. She’s waiting for you.” Wuyan gently stroked Ji Wan’s soft hair.

In the next second, Ji Wan instantly disappeared from the system space.

Wuyan remained in the posture of holding Ji Wan. She slowly stood up.

Looking at the strand of hair in her palm that didn’t belong to her, she gently brought it to her lips and kissed it, her eyes filled with deep and intense love.

She couldn’t help but feel a little jealous of this last soul body.

On Dragon Summit, all sides were fighting fiercely.

And no one noticed that Ji Wan, who was being protected by a circle of people, had her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and her face gradually regained its color.

Lan Hongyi’s vigilance relaxed because the moon was about to be full.

Suddenly, a figure as fast as lightning flashed by.

He instantly appeared behind Lan Hongyi, accompanied by the sound of tearing cloth and flesh being pierced.

Lan Hongyi looked in horror at the sharp sword that had pierced his heart. A deep sense of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.

“You… you…” He looked at the white-haired old man in front of him.

A flash of anger passed through Lan Hongyi’s heart. Shouldn’t he have left with that person’s death?

At the same time, Huangfu Yue and Jiang Li both defeated Ji Minghao and Ruyan.

“You’ve lost,” Huangfu Yue said calmly, looking at Lan Hongyi.

It was as if she had already foreseen this outcome.

Lan Hongyi’s consciousness slowly became hazy. His time was running out.

His mind suddenly connected Huangfu Yue with that person from ten years ago.

But he was unwilling. Before he died.

Lan Hongyi gave a sinister smile and crushed the mother蠱 in his sleeve.

“If that’s the case, then let Princess Ji, whom you love, go to hell with me.”

After saying that, Lan Hongyi fell straight down, his eyes never closing. He died with a grudge.

It was both terrifying and ridiculous.

He had calculated his entire life, and in the end, it was all for naught.

“Oh no, hurry, save Wanwan.”

Ruyan felt relieved when Lan Hongyi died, but at the same time, she became panicked.

Ignoring her serious injuries and the danger of the sword in Jiang Li’s hand, she tried to rush into the protective circle.

For her sister who was taken away.

She had been forced to plant the蛊 on Ji Wan for Lan Hongyi. She couldn’t watch Ji Wan die.

That would make her live in self-reproach for the rest of her life.

It was too late. Once the mother蛊 burst, Ji Wan would be in mortal danger.

Ruyan was fast, but Huangfu Yue was faster. She casually threw the sword in her hand to the ground.

She flashed to Ji Wan’s side.

“Hurry, let me through,” Ruyan shouted.

Ignoring the cut from the sharp sword, she knelt beside Ji Wan.

Ruyan quickly cut her wrist and let her blood flow. She offered her blood to Ji Wan’s lips little by little.

Huangfu Yue wanted to stop her because this woman was not yet at a level where she could trust her.

But Ruyan’s face turned pale from blood loss. She could only say weakly, “Only I can save her. This is a secret technique of my clan.”

Huangfu Yue’s hand, which was about to stop her, froze. A sense of powerlessness appeared again.

She could do anything, but when it came to saving Ji Wan, she felt a rare panic.

At the same time, the thin clouds covering the moon dissipated.

The moon’s clearness was revealed.

The slightly crescent moon completely turned into a full moon.

The light shone on a strange formation in the cave.

“Put Ji Wan… into the formation.” Ruyan’s mind was dizzy from excessive blood loss, and she swayed.

After she finished speaking, she could no longer resist the dizziness and was about to fall.

Ruyan closed her eyes, expecting to fall onto the cold ground, but she landed in a warm embrace.

Ruyan looked at Jiang Li’s expressionless, cold face in surprise.

She wanted to give her a smile, but she no longer had the strength and fainted.

At the same time, strange patterns appeared on Ji Wan’s body.

“Put Wan’er into the formation. This formation needs to absorb the power of the Cold Soul Body.

It can neutralize the蛊虫 and the cold poison in Wan’er’s body.”

Ji Minghao sat on the ground with serious injuries. Seeing that the battle was decided, he calmed down.

Now he only wanted to save Ji Wan.
