The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Captured the Villainous Demon Venerable - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Willingly Seduced.

Chu Jiuqu’s words fell silent.

Mo Xun’s heart tightened.

Although Yun Wushang was the one being suspected, she felt guilty, as if she had been caught in the act.

However, on second thought, if Yun Wushang died, she would also die, so it was normal for her to feel this way.

She needed to become strong enough in the shortest amount of time possible to protect herself while also protecting Yun Wushang.

Thinking this, Mo Xun turned to look at Chu Jiuqu, putting on a confused expression: “Is Senior Sister implying that Junior Sister Yun might be a bad person? But she treats me very well. Precisely because she gave me the Imperial Sword Art that Master bestowed upon her, I was able to perform as I did today. I can’t win the match and then turn my back on her.”

Chu Jiuqu: “Junior Sister Mo’s performance today was indeed impressive, but… would Junior Sister Mo casually give away a manual bestowed by Master to others?”

Mo Xun: “…”

No, she wouldn’t.

Forget manuals; she wouldn’t give away anything given to her by others to anyone else, because in her opinion, the sentiment carried by the gift was far more important than the gift itself.

For example, the Imperial Sword Art carried the affirmation of Yun Wushang’s talent by Sect Leader Bai Muqing and the high expectations placed upon her.

Mo Xun ultimately didn’t answer, but her silence was enough to explain everything.

Chu Jiuqu sighed softly: “Junior Sister Mo, I have some suspicions, but until they are confirmed, I cannot tell you, nor can I inform Master. I could have pretended not to know anything, but I cannot stand idly by while you may be in danger.”

Mo Xun felt instantly relieved hearing Chu Jiuqu say she wouldn’t inform Master, and she replied with a smile: “I know, Senior Sister’s reminder is for my own good, but I have my own judgment as to whether Junior Sister Yun is good or bad.”

As her voice fell, gasps erupted around them. Mo Xun immediately turned her gaze back to the arena.

Liu Xu’s body was seen making a crisp arc in the air, landing on the arena like a sack of sand with a dull thud. Several blood-colored ice flowers bloomed on her body. She lay face-up, no longer moving, apparently having lost consciousness.

As for Yun Wushang, forget drawing her sword; she hadn’t even moved a single step.

An Elder from the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect flew onto the arena, crouched down beside Liu Xu to check her injuries, then looked up and glared at Yun Wushang: “As expected of the mutated Ice Spiritual Root, what a domineering attack.”

Yun Wushang was expressionless and replied lightly: “I avoided her vital points. She won’t die.”

The Elder of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect said no more, picked up Liu Xu, and left the arena.

“First round, second match. Water Moon Immortal Sect’s Yun Wushang wins!”

Yun Wushang turned and flew down from the arena, returning to Mo Xun’s side.

The surroundings were silent, and everyone’s expressions were somewhat complicated.

Mo Xun noticed this but wasn’t surprised.

After all, no one could guarantee that the next person to face Yun Wushang wouldn’t be themselves.

Yun Wushang was slightly turned away from Mo Xun, not looking at her, but when she spoke, her words were clearly directed at Mo Xun: “Do you also think I was too harsh?”

Mo Xun was originally also turned away from her, standing side by side, facing different directions. Hearing this, she turned to face her and smiled: “Who thinks about that much during a fight? Didn’t you spare her life?”

If Mo Xun’s fight had been after Yun Wushang’s, she might have thought Yun Wushang was too harsh, but after fighting Meng Ye, she clearly knew how difficult it was to show restraint.

What cultivators feared most was not death, but having their spiritual root crippled, losing their qualification to cultivate, like a painter going blind or a singer losing their voice.

She could only say it was lucky she managed to stack Evasion to 100% just before the competition.

“Neither taking a life nor crippling a spiritual root. Isn’t that enough restraint?” Mo Xun was sincere when she said this, not trying to flatter Yun Wushang.

But after saying it, she thought about the possibility of facing Yun Wushang herself…

Mo Xun cleared her throat and added: “However, if my next opponent is you, don’t strike. Just give me a chance to roll off the arena myself.”

Yun Wushang glanced at her, was silent for a while, and then responded: “Why belittle yourself? You and I are both in the early Golden Core stage. You might not lose against me.”

Mo Xun: “You think too highly of me…”

Mo Xun would not engage Yun Wushang in a direct confrontation until she reached the Great Vehicle Stage.

In the third match of the first round of the Grand Immortal Sect Competition, the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect sent another inner disciple, this time at the mid Golden Core stage. Chu Jiuqu went up and quickly won with her sword technique.

Her sword mastery was incredibly high, dazzling the onlookers, and there was no room for the Water Moon Sword Art to be deployed.

By this point, the inner disciples of the Water Moon Immortal Sect had achieved a complete victory.

As for the inner disciples of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect, there was still Hua Baixiang, who had advanced directly to the second round.

Her hair was tied up into two buns on the left and right, with braids hanging down her back, not reaching her waist.

She glared at the three of them from a distance, then turned and left the venue.

The second round of matches was tomorrow. Mo Xun also wanted to leave early but wasn’t sure if it would be impolite.

While she was still hesitating, she saw Yun Wushang walking away from the arena.

Mo Xun quickly caught up to her side: “Where are you going?”

Yun Wushang didn’t look back: “Back to my room, to rest.”

Mo Xun curved her lips: “Alright, together.”

Yun Wushang took flight, and Mo Xun followed on her sword.

The two returned to the inner peak one after the other. Yun Wushang went straight to her own room, showing no intention of bidding farewell to Mo Xun.

Mo Xun was a little frustrated but was gradually getting used to Yun Wushang’s coldness.

Mo Xun returned to her room to meditate and enter a state of stillness, intending to cultivate until the next morning.

However, after nightfall, there was a sudden knock on her door.

Mo Xun opened her eyes in the dim light: “Who is it?”

No response.

Mo Xun frowned slightly: “Senior Sister?”

Still no response.

Mo Xun aligned her index and middle fingers, injected spiritual energy into her sword, kept the sword hovering beside her, then left the bed and cautiously approached the door.

Just as she reached the door and prepared to open it, a cool voice sounded.

“It’s me.”

Mo Xun immediately recognized it as Yun Wushang’s voice.

She instantly lowered her guard and sheathed her sword: “Oh, you should have said so earlier. Don’t you know that’s really scary late at night?”

Mo Xun said as she opened the door.

The person outside was indeed Yun Wushang. Her face was equally striking in the moonlight.

Mo Xun stared blankly for a moment, then noticed that she hadn’t brought her companion sword this time; she came empty-handed.

Late at night, visiting without a weapon, this…

Mo Xun forced herself to clear the junk out of her mind and asked earnestly: “Junior Sister Yun, is there something I can help you with?”

Yun Wushang looked up and met her gaze for a while before saying: “Why didn’t you come to treat my injuries tonight?”

Mo Xun: Because I’ve already maxed out the reward points!

Of course, Mo Xun couldn’t respond like that. After thinking quickly, she said: “There’s still a match tomorrow. The opponents will get stronger and stronger. I need to conserve my strength…”

“If that’s the case, you should treat my injuries even more,” Yun Wushang interrupted. “You know how seriously injured I am. Do you have the heart to see me fight cultivators with a higher realm than me while carrying these injuries?”

Mo Xun: ?

Although she was expressionless and her tone was indifferent, the content of her words… was Yun Wushang… pouting?

Oh no, Mo Xun really fell for this.

Mo Xun tried to speak twice but couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

Yun Wushang pressed her advantage: “After you’re done, you can hug me any way you want.”

Mo Xun: I’ve already completed that task too!

With the reward points maxed out, Mo Xun couldn’t think of any reason to treat Yun Wushang’s injuries, but she also couldn’t find any excuse to refuse.

After all, Yun Wushang was pouting… she was pouting!

Finally, Mo Xun sighed internally in resignation, turned, and walked toward the dressing table where the candle was: “Come in. I’ll light a candle.”

“No need.” Yun Wushang stepped into the room and closed the door.

She walked to Mo Xun’s bed, took off her shoes, flew onto the bed, and sat cross-legged.

Mo Xun: ?

In the dim light, Mo Xun looked at Yun Wushang on the bed, feeling her body’s outline was unusually clear, as if her light white robe didn’t exist.

Her brain seemed stuck. Her thoughts couldn’t flow freely, and thus she couldn’t process why she was sitting on her bed.

Until Yun Wushang spoke first: “Sit behind me, touch me. Don’t waste a single trace of spiritual energy.”

So that was it.

Was it because the skin-to-skin healing today gave her a taste of the benefits, and she wanted to continue healing this way from now on?

That made sense. Since there was a more efficient way, there was no reason to continue with the previous method.

Mo Xun: I really dug myself a big hole.

But since things had come to this, she could only bite the bullet.

Mo Xun got onto the bed and sat cross-legged behind Yun Wushang.

Just as she was about to circulate her spiritual energy, Yun Wushang suddenly spoke: “Wait.”

Mo Xun paused her movements, patiently looking at her back, her gaze tracing down her smooth long hair, outlining her waist.

Then she saw Yun Wushang untie her belt, grasp the edges of her robes with both hands, and neatly flip them back.

The rush of air when the clothes fell stirred Yun Wushang’s long hair. A few strands lifted, brushing against Mo Xun’s cheek.

Mo Xun’s brain completely stalled. She stared blankly at Yun Wushang’s back, now completely uncovered, unable to move a muscle.

In a daze, she heard Yun Wushang’s still indifferent voice: “Spiritual energy will still dissipate through clothes. You’ll place one hand on my back… only touching, no fondling.”

Mo Xun remained silent.

Yun Wushang slightly tilted her head back: “Answer?”

Mo Xun wanted to take a deep breath, but only a slight intake of air filled her entire nasal cavity with Yun Wushang’s scent.

That pleasant, faint fragrance, like some kind of flower, was much stronger than what she smelled in Yun Wushang’s room.

There was no more ‘junk’ in her brain, because all she could see was ‘junk’, which severely hindered her ability to think.

But this wasn’t a dream; she couldn’t indulge.

She turned her head away from Yun Wushang, completed that deep breath, and then, spoke relatively calmly: “You know I like women. Knowing this, you enter my room under the cover of night, sit on my bed, take off your clothes in front of me, and allow me to touch your back… you either overestimate my self-control or you underestimate your own charm too much.”

Yun Wushang chuckled softly: “So? You won’t treat me?”

Mo Xun didn’t respond. She raised her hands to form a seal, circulated her spiritual energy, and then slowly extended one hand toward Yun Wushang, placing her palm lightly against her back.

She condemned Yun Wushang’s seductive behavior.

But she was willingly seduced.

Despite this, the healing power contained within her spiritual energy did not diminish in the slightest.

Yun Wushang closed her eyes, circulating the fake spiritual energy within her body to better recover from her injuries.

Mo Xun wanted to treat her perfunctorily for a while and then pretend to faint, but her hand felt like it was stuck to Yun Wushang’s back; she couldn’t pull it back no matter what.

Mo Xun: Pulling it back now is too early; it will arouse her suspicion.

Mo Xun: I feel like it’s been long enough. I’ll stop after a little more healing.

Mo Xun: A little more healing won’t hurt…

Mo Xun: Damn it, stop it! There are no more reward points. Why am I being so diligent!

Mo Xun forced herself to pull her hand back from Yun Wushang’s back, but she couldn’t even bend a single finger.

Just when she didn’t know what to do, the system’s voice suddenly rang out.

System: “Yun Wushang voluntarily exposed her bare back to the host and allowed the host to touch her. This signifies a substantial increase in Yun Wushang’s trust in the host! Completed task: “Gaining Yun Wushang’s trust,” gained 5 reward points. Cultivation speed increased by 28% based on the original foundation. Please continue your efforts, Host, and achieve a successful romantic relationship with Yun Wushang soon!”
