The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Captured the Villainous Demon Venerable - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Pressing Against Hers

Yun Wushang said she wouldn’t kiss someone she disliked.

Yun Wushang was willing to actively kiss her.

Did that mean Yun Wushang didn’t dislike her?

Mo Xun was slightly stunned, finding it hard to believe.

On the very first day they met, she had been kicked into the water and forcibly kissed… and yet Yun Wushang didn’t dislike her?

Although, strictly speaking, it wasn’t Mo Xun who kicked Yun Wushang into the water, in Yun Wushang’s memory it was her, so Mo Xun could only take responsibility for the action.

She put herself in Yun Wushang’s shoes. If Yun Wushang had kicked her into the water, she definitely wouldn’t have thought twice; she’d have kicked Yun Wushang right back in once she got out.

In comparison, Yun Wushang actually gave her a chance to explain; her patience was truly strong.

It turned out it was because she also didn’t dislike this woman.

In fact, after carrying her ashore and clearly seeing her face, she was a little moved.

Therefore, when Yun Wushang allowed her to prove her sexual orientation in any way, she—with a bit of shy possessiveness and a touch of revenge—deliberately kissed Yun Wushang’s lips.

Knowing it was inappropriate, she recklessly went ahead and kissed her.

Mo Xun compressed her lips slightly, raised her hand to form a seal, and then gently placed her right hand on Yun Wushang’s bare back.

The skin against her palm felt a little cold, perhaps because her own palm was too hot.

The moment of contact, Yun Wushang’s body clearly trembled slightly.

She didn’t immediately say anything, but after a moment of awkward silence, she opened her mouth abruptly and said in her cool voice: “Hearing you could kiss me, were you so eager?”

Mo Xun: You really know how to shift the blame. I wonder who the truly impatient one is.

However, sensing the underlying defensiveness in Yun Wushang’s words, Mo Xun didn’t argue and chuckled: “Yes, after all, it’s the kiss of the person I love.”

Yun Wushang remained silent, perhaps beginning to regret proposing such a deal.

Mo Xun didn’t dwell on it. She closed her eyes and focused her attention on her spiritual energy as much as possible, strictly controlling the speed of circulation and the healing effect to the same level as last night.

Without the visual impact, suppressing desire was relatively easy; it was just a faint tingling sensation on her palm, as if she were pressing an exposed electrical switch.

After a period of time, the system’s voice sounded. Mo Xun breathed a sigh of relief. She continued the treatment for a bit longer, then precisely timed the moment to withdraw her hand from Yun Wushang’s back.

Yun Wushang couldn’t help but say, “Your control over spiritual energy truly makes me feel ashamed.”

Mo Xun: “…”

I was careless. I wonder if I can bluff my way through this…

Mo Xun pretended not to understand Yun Wushang’s words, smilingly replied: “Junior Sister Yun is giving me too much credit. I just feel my spiritual energy is almost depleted, and continuing would affect today’s cultivation, so… Should I treat you a little more?”

“No need,” Yun Wushang said, flipping her robe up to barely cover her body, then immediately turned and leaned toward Mo Xun.

Mo Xun hadn’t expected her to turn around before fully dressing. She froze on the spot, her heart accelerating uncontrollably. She couldn’t tell if it was due to nervousness, guilt, or something else entirely.

Yun Wushang didn’t give her time to react, quickly raised both hands to wrap around Mo Xun’s neck, lowered her long, thick, raven-black lashes, and pressed her lips against Mo Xun’s.

Mo Xun thought she would feint again to tease her, but she actually… kissed her solidly?

The sensation on her lips was soft and real.

Mo Xun stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Yun Wushang’s nearby lashes, sitting cross-legged and afraid to move.

Yun Wushang was the initiator of the kiss, but her movements showed clear inexperience. She seemed to want to go deeper but only lightly bit Mo Xun’s lip and then stopped, only lingering on the surface.

Mo Xun was also inexperienced, but in the world she originally lived in, the internet was developed and resources were abundant, so she knew exactly what to do.

The surprise in Mo Xun’s eyes faded, replaced by a vague sense of intoxication. She closed her eyes, instinctively raising her right hand to cup the back of Yun Wushang’s head, while her left arm wrapped around Yun Wushang’s sexy waist. She leaned forward, gently deepening the kiss.

Yun Wushang didn’t resist, letting her deepen it, but the hands that were hooked around Mo Xun’s neck retreated awkwardly, starting to fiddle with Mo Xun’s collar.

Mo Xun was deeply involved in the kiss, but she was also aware that their relationship was currently limited to just this kiss.

So, after the kiss, she willingly let go of Yun Wushang.

Yun Wushang, who had somehow shifted to a kneeling position, immediately lowered her head upon being released, covering her lips with one hand.

But this simple action couldn’t hide the blush on her face or the panic in her eyes.

“I didn’t ask you to…” Her voice was laced with a slight shortness of breath.

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Mo Xun understood her meaning. Mo Xun blinked innocently: “I can only be kissed by you, but I can’t return the favor? You should have made that clear beforehand… But why didn’t you stop me midway?”

Yun Wushang lifted her lashes, glaring at Mo Xun somewhat depressedly, then turned her back, adjusting her loose robe. She got off the bed first, then tidied herself up.

It wasn’t until her clothing was fully neat that she spoke: “I’m tired.”

Mo Xun didn’t know if she meant “I’m tired and going back to my room to rest,” or if she meant “I was tired, which is why I didn’t stop you.”

But some things didn’t need to be scrutinized. An unspoken understanding was enough.

So, Mo Xun’s response was: “Rest early. See you tomorrow.”

Yun Wushang “Mm”ed, then continued speaking with her back still turned to Mo Xun: “I look forward to sparring with you.”

Mo Xun: “…”

Mo Xun: Why say it again? Saying it now makes it sound like you’re threatening me.

Mo Xun suspected Yun Wushang intended to legitimately beat her up in the arena to vent the various frustrations that had accumulated these past few days.

…Forget it. I’ll just assume she’s only interested in my evasion ability.

Mo Xun raised her lips, responding in a somewhat relaxed tone: “Me too. But you know I wouldn’t bear to strike you hard, so please be merciful too.”

Yun Wushang gave a light scoff, then pushed the door open and left.

A blast of icy air swirled up from her feet, closing the door and blocking Mo Xun’s view of her.

Looking at the closed door, the smile on Mo Xun’s lips gradually faded. Almost immediately after Yun Wushang left, she confirmed with the system in her mind: Does boosting cultivation speed increase the speed of realm advancement or the speed of skill mastery?

System: “Both, and neither. To be precise, it enhances the Host’s cultivation talent, which is the ability to comprehend all cultivation-related concepts in this world.”

Mo Xun: So, it increases both.

System: “A simple understanding is that way.”

Mo Xun: Alright, then help me exchange all my reward points for cultivation speed.

Why boost healing? Why leave a fallback? She wants to win!

After much deliberation, she still didn’t want to lose to Yun Wushang. Even though she knew that surviving a fight with a Great Ascension Demon Venerable was a victory, she just didn’t want to lose.

She didn’t know how Yun Wushang would see her if she lost, but she knew she would feel discontented and a sense of unpleasantness at being controlled.

Just to feel satisfied, she had to win! Absolutely had to!

System: “Understood, Host! Through intimate contact with Yun Wushang, healing Yun Wushang, having Yun Wushang actively initiate a kiss, and progressing to a more intimate French kiss, the Host currently possesses 8 reward points. All have been redeemed for Reward 1, increasing cultivation speed by 48%! As a side note, Reward 1 can be redeemed 5 more times. After 5 more redemptions, the Host’s cultivation talent will stand at the pinnacle of the entire cultivation world!”

Mo Xun: What does that mean?

System: “It means that after 5 more redemptions of Reward 1, the Host’s cultivation talent will surpass all cultivators of the same realm in this world, regardless of whether they are cultivators or demonic practitioners. However, the cultivation speed for the Nascent Soul stage will depend on how well the Host forms her Nascent Soul.”

Mo Xun: Good heavens, are you sure you’re not the Protagonist Power-Leveling System? Given all this, how can you claim you’re only responsible for helping me capture the villain?

System: “This is, of course, for the purpose of capturing the villain! As the Villain Capture System, I must help the Host increase her charm to better capture Yun Wushang, and strength is certainly a type of charm!”

Mo Xun: Did you just say ‘of course’ three times? Are you that guilty?

System: “I am not, I did not, Host, you slander me!”

Mo Xun: Forget it. Although I have a lot to complain about, this suits me perfectly.

Whether it was to capture Yun Wushang or to save her own life, she needed to increase her strength. The more cheat-like abilities like this, the better.

Mo Xun sat down in meditation, genuinely feeling the boost in her cultivation talent. Her understanding of the Dao of Heaven was like seeing the light through the clouds, suddenly clear.

What is Dao? Dao is pattern. Dao is essence. The Dao of Heaven is all patterns, all essences.

What is Art? Art is method. Art is capability. Magic Art is the method of using the power realized by seeing through all patterns and essences, solving problems in a way that mortals cannot comprehend.

The Dao of Heaven does not exist in the sky or in all things, but in one’s own understanding of all things, existing within one’s own heart.

The clearer and firmer the Dao in one’s heart, the more one can comprehend, and the more those comprehensions can be transformed into power.

System: “Congratulations, Host, you have advanced to the middle Golden Core stage!”

Mo Xun didn’t respond. She flipped off the bed, grabbed her accompanying sword, and went out the door.

She tossed the sword into the air. As it fell, she quickly grasped the hilt and spun, drawing the sword.

Mo Xun focused on her cultivation as the sky gradually darkened.

When the sky was completely dark, a reflection of Mo Xun appeared on a mirror formed by water spiritual energy, while the real Mo Xun was hidden behind the mirror, unseen.

The second stage of the Water Moon Sword Art, Phantom Moon Reflection, was complete!
