The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Captured the Villainous Demon Venerable - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Attracted by the Beautiful Physique…

Mo Xun was startled by Yun Wushang’s sudden open eyes!

The Demon Venerable, covered in scars and barely clothed, lay on the bed, her beautiful eyes staring intently at her.

If looks could kill, Mo Xun would already be dead.

This was a sign of exhaustion.

Although Yun Wushang was awake, her body was extremely weak. Let alone killing, she probably couldn’t even stand up and walk two steps.

She recalled that in the book The Eldest Sister of the Heartless Dao, Yun Wushang’s setting was that of a Great Ascension stage Demon Venerable who had fallen six stages down to the Foundation Establishment stage. It would be strange if she wasn’t weak.

If it weren’t for this, with her ruthless personality, she would have certainly taken revenge on the spot. Why wait until later to slowly carve up this cannon fodder female supporting character, who had repeatedly harmed her, into a thousand pieces?

In other words, no matter how much Yun Wushang wanted to kill her now, she couldn’t move. Before her cultivation level recovered, Mo Xun had enough time to reverse the Demon Venerable’s perception of her.

Thinking this, Mo Xun felt slightly reassured.

“What am I doing? Of course, I’m helping you clean your wounds,” she answered calmly and composedly, her tone flat and her expression frank, pretending not to know how dangerous the person lying on the bed was. “I was wondering how you could drown even in such a shallow pond. Turns out you have so many injuries. Master is really something. No matter how much she thinks you’re gifted, she shouldn’t push you to this extent.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Wushang narrowed her beautiful but icy eyes, but said nothing.

Mo Xun continued: “Since you’re injured, don’t move. I’ll help you clean the wounds. Don’t worry, Junior Sister Yun, I’m good at cleaning wounds. I guarantee they’ll be cleaned with absolutely no bacteria!”

She finished, curving her lips into a confident smile.

“Bacteria?” Yun Wushang frowned, revealing a look of confusion.

“Oh, it’s… it’s just dirt. If the wound isn’t cleaned properly, it will get inflamed,” Mo Xun explained.

Yun Wushang: “Inflamed?”

Mo Xun: “…Worsen. The wound will worsen.”

Damn it, the era is different. A lot of words can’t be used directly.

They were clearly all proper terms, yet they caused a noticeable distrust to appear on Yun Wushang’s face.

But words already spoken couldn’t be retracted. Mo Xun could only bite the bullet and ask Yun Wushang: “Junior Sister Yun, can you release my hand? The sooner we clean the wounds, the sooner you can put on clothes, right?”

At this moment, Yun Wushang was not covered by anything. Exposed to Mo Xun’s view were not just the shocking wounds.

Mo Xun would not harbor any improper thoughts towards a patient, but that was only limited to when she was providing treatment.

At other times, she, like most people, was attracted by a beautiful physique.

Yun Wushang’s looks and figure were truly… a test of her self-control.

Mo Xun’s gaze swept over Yun Wushang, then quickly flicked to the side, a hint of awkwardness appearing on her face.

Yun Wushang noticed the change in her expression, gave a small “tsk,” and grabbed the bedding beside her, covering her chest and thighs. Her exposed knees slightly drew up.

Having covered her shame, she finally released Mo Xun’s wrist and spoke coldly: “My injuries don’t need your interference. Fetch me a set of clean clothes.”

Although it was still a long way off before Yun Wushang recovered her cultivation, such an opportunity was not one that you simply encountered. Once Yun Wushang recovered her cultivation while hating her, she was as good as dead!

Thinking this, Mo Xun frowned and said seriously: “No, if you leave these wounds untreated, they really will worsen. It will break my heart if they worsen.”

“By the way, does Master know that you’re so severely injured? Should I go tell her and let her treat you?”

“You dare!” Yun Wushang suddenly got up, trying to grab Mo Xun’s wrist, but missed.

It wasn’t that Mo Xun dodged quickly, but that Yun Wushang was too weak. She lay back down immediately after getting up, her breathing heavy.

The Demon Venerable, who failed to catch her, pressed one hand on the quilt covering her chest and placed the other on her forehead, frowning and gasping for breath, looking extremely pained.

Mo Xun hesitated, wondering how to persuade her to accept treatment, when the system’s voice suddenly rang in her head.

System: “Excuse me, excuse me! Host, do you remember the task I assigned earlier? The task was to hold hands with Yun Wushang, but you not only kissed her but also hugged her! Task completion exceeded the requirement! Therefore, you can gain 3 reward points in one go!”

System: “1 reward point can be exchanged for one ability. Host can currently choose from the following three abilities:”

“One: Gain cultivation talent, increasing cultivation speed by 5%.”

“Two: Gain the instinct to evade attacks, with a 5% chance to instinctively dodge attacks.”

“Three: Gain the ability to heal wounds with spiritual energy, increasing wound recovery speed by 5%. Can treat yourself or others.”

3 reward points, three abilities. Did she even need to choose?

Mo Xun responded without hesitation: Only children make choices, adults want them all!

System: “Exchange for each once, is that right? Alright! Congratulations to the Host for gaining cultivation talent, increasing cultivation speed by 5%! Congratulations to the Host for gaining the instinct to evade attacks, with a 5% chance to instinctively dodge attacks! Congratulations to the Host for gaining the ability to heal wounds with spiritual energy, increasing wound recovery speed by 5%. Can treat yourself or others!”

Mo Xun: “Wait, can all 3 reward points be stacked onto one ability?”

System: “Yes, but once a reward is exchanged, it cannot be revoked. Please continue to strive, complete more tasks, and gain more reward points! The next task is to treat Yun Wushang’s injuries. Completion of the task grants 1 reward point!”

Then she absolutely must treat her injuries!

Honestly, Mo Xun now had a little regret. If she had known that all 3 reward points could be used to exchange for one ability, she would have stacked them all on evasion. That way, even if she couldn’t change Yun Wushang’s perception of her before her cultivation recovered, she would have a chance to survive her pursuit.

However, cultivation speed was also very important. What if Yun Wushang went crazy and launched a saturation attack on her? No matter how high her evasion stack was, it wouldn’t matter. She had to find a way to reduce Yun Wushang’s hatred towards her while also finding a way to improve her own cultivation and strength.

As for the spiritual energy healing, that was exactly what she needed right now!

She had originally planned to clean Yun Wushang’s wounds, apply some ointment, and bandage them. Now, she could skip the ointment and bandages.

Yun Wushang was still glaring at Mo Xun.

Mo Xun ignored her for the moment, closed her eyes, quickly familiarized herself with the spiritual energy healing method directly poured into her mind by the system, and when she reopened her eyes, they were filled with determination.

She raised her hands, quickly formed a few hand seals, circulated the spiritual energy around her body. Water and wood spiritual energies spun and intertwined around her, stirring her still-damp long hair and robes.

Yun Wushang didn’t know what she was going to do and instinctively shrank back.

As her body moved, Mo Xun suddenly reached out, pointing her sword fingers at her.

Mo Xun’s hand was one size larger than Yun Wushang’s. Each finger was distinctly jointed, slender, and long, like white jade.

She extended her index and middle fingers, tucking in the other three, and pointed her fingertips across the space towards Yun Wushang. The spiritual energy around her surged towards the Demon Venerable.

Yun Wushang instinctively raised her arms, crossing them to shield her heart meridian, but the incoming spiritual energy did not cause her any harm.

The water spiritual energy was cool, and the wood spiritual energy was gentle, wrapping and caressing her body with silk-like tenderness, alleviating her pain, driving away the cold in her body, and even restoring a little strength to her exhausted physique.

“How do you feel?” Mo Xun asked.

Yun Wushang grabbed the edge of the quilt with both hands and sat up.

This time, she sat up smoothly, her body no longer feeling heavy.

She looked up at the woman standing by the bed.

The woman had a very defined, well-structured face. Her nose bridge was high, and her eyes were full of a heroic spirit. When she wasn’t smiling, she gave off a dangerous sense of aggression, but when she smiled, she was as bright and warm as the sun.

This face was exceedingly beautiful, but for some reason, Yun Wushang only truly registered it today. Was it because she had never properly looked at her before?

Makes sense, after all, she’s just a dual spiritual root.

Mo Xun’s hair was not styled like others—half up, half down—but was tied up high in a ponytail, making her look more like a female general than a cultivator.

The Water Moon Immortal Sect’s robes were white with cyan trim. When others wore them, an ethereal and transcendent feeling immediately presented itself, but when Mo Xun wore them, she resembled a white wolf.

Dangerous, wild, ready to pounce at any moment.

Yun Wushang thought of the kiss where Mo Xun had ambushed her, and she was very, very indignant.

This humiliation, she would reclaim from this woman sooner or later!

But for now, she had to admit, Mo Xun still had some use.

“Spiritual energy healing. Who taught you?” she asked coldly.

“Heh, I won’t tell you,” Mo Xun curved her lips into a cunning smile. “I told you, I’m a professional at cleaning wounds! …Which means I’m super good at it! Are you willing to let me treat your injuries now?”

Yun Wushang lowered her head to sense. Mo Xun’s spiritual power was somehow special, allowing her severe, heart-meridian-damaging injuries to show signs of healing.

If she could let Mo Xun heal her, she might recover her cultivation level sooner and leave this place.

Thinking this, Yun Wushang said a faint “Fine.”

Mo Xun sighed in relief. She picked up the cotton cloth from the washbasin again, squeezed out the excess water, and prepared to help Yun Wushang clean her wounds.

She looked at Yun Wushang.

Yun Wushang looked up and met her gaze, alertness flashing in her eyes: “What are you doing?”

Mo Xun: “How can I clean your wounds if you don’t remove the quilt?”

Yun Wushang: “Who told you to clean my wounds? Just use spiritual energy to treat me.”

Mo Xun: “How can that work? If the wound isn’t cleaned properly, there will be problems during the healing process!”

Yun Wushang: “I think you just want to…”

Before Yun Wushang could finish, there was a sudden knock on Mo Xun’s door.

After three consecutive knocks, a gentle female voice sounded from outside the room: “Junior Sister Mo, are you there?”

This was the Inner Peak of the Water Moon Immortal Sect. Apart from the Sect Leader, only inner disciples could enter and exit.

And the entire Water Moon Immortal Sect only had three inner disciples.

Realizing who was outside the door, Mo Xun’s heart rate suddenly sped up.

It was the female lead!

She didn’t know what the female lead looked like yet, but this was the female lead!

“Senior Sister, what’s the matter?” Mo Xun asked, unconsciously pitching her voice higher.

Yun Wushang: ?

Outside the door, Chu Jiuqu’s voice was gentle, but her tone carried clear probing: “Junior Sister Mo, I was passing by your room and smelled blood. Are you… alright?”
