The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Captured the Villainous Demon Venerable - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Like Being Under a Spell.

The problem with the life-and-death contract is that it is ineffective against cultivators above the Soul Transformation stage.

And Yun Wushang is a Great Ascension Demon Venerable, three realms higher than the Soul Transformation stage.

In this situation, should Mo Xun give her all in treating her and allow her to recover her realm as quickly as possible?

Absolutely not! Not even if she wanted to!

Regardless of whether her feelings for Yun Wushang were genuine or not, even if they were real, she couldn’t gamble with her own life.

So, facing Yun Wushang’s request, Mo Xun said nothing.

She sat cross-legged behind Yun Wushang, formed hand seals, circulated her spiritual energy, and placed her right palm against Yun Wushang’s back through her clothes.

Yun Wushang deduced the answer from her silence and opened her eyes, which were filled with dimness: “You can’t even be bothered to find an excuse this time?”

Mo Xun remained silent for a while longer before speaking, responding calmly with these words: “Both of us bear many burdens. You have reasons for concealing your injuries, and I have reasons for not being able to treat you with full effort. I haven’t asked you why you conceal your injuries, so please don’t ask me why I cannot treat you with full effort.”

Yun Wushang chuckled softly: “You admit you haven’t been treating me with full effort? Then what about yesterday… what was that?”

Mo Xun: “…”

Yesterday, Yun Wushang let her choose whether or not to undress for treatment. Mo Xun initially thought it was unnecessary, but because the system suddenly assigned a very tempting mission, she…

What could Mo Xun say?

She could only say: “I apologize.”

“Apologize? Do you think an apology can dismiss me?” Yun Wushang said coldly, suddenly turning around, pressing Mo Xun’s shoulders, and pushing her down onto the bed!

The treatment was interrupted. Mo Xun’s back was flat against the bedding. She lay on the bed relaxed, raising her eyelashes to meet Yun Wushang’s gaze, quietly waiting for her to speak.

Yun Wushang was almost entirely pressing down on her, with one hand propped near her ear and her legs intertwined with Mo Xun’s. The contact made Mo Xun’s skin tingle with a delicious shiver.

The still severely injured Demon Venerable was now looking at her with open eyes. The two faint red spots at the corners of her eyes were strikingly obvious against her pale skin, tinging the coldness in her gaze with a hint of grievance.

From Yun Wushang’s perspective, she was indeed wronged. The person who claimed to like her, flirted with her occasionally, and even took advantage of her multiple times, wouldn’t even treat her with full effort once.

They had hugged, kissed, fought, and the continuous private meetings and touches meant their relationship was already different from others, whether they admitted it or not. Yet, it was stuck in a subtle place, unable to advance any further.

“Mo Xun, tell me, what you like, is it my physical body, or is it me?”

“You,” Mo Xun chose without hesitation, then added, “But your physical body is also a part of you. I cannot discard it, nor is there a need to discard it.”

“Then tell me, apart from my physical body, what other charm do I possess?” Yun Wushang pressed.

Mo Xun was silent for a moment, then answered with four words: “I don’t know.”

She could have listed a bunch, such as Yun Wushang being a variant Ice-element Celestial Spiritual Root with exceptional talent, or Yun Wushang being a magic cultivator who could fight without moving from her spot.

The answer was no.

She liked the way Yun Wushang stood on the arena with one hand behind her back, skipping the introduction and simply gesturing ‘come’ to her opponent.

She liked the way Yun Wushang looked speechless but didn’t refute her when Mo Xun boasted.

She liked the way Yun Wushang flew away without looking back to hide her emotions, then closed her eyes to feign death in front of her.

“I don’t know, but I just like you. I only feel this way about you,” Mo Xun said, tentatively raising both hands and wrapping them around Yun Wushang’s waist.

Yun Wushang felt the touch on her waist, her body trembling slightly, but she didn’t resist. When she spoke again, her tone was tinged with sarcasm: “What is this supposed to be?”

“Who knows… matters of the heart are often so illogical,” Mo Xun smoothed one hand over Yun Wushang’s nape, trying to soothe her with a gentle, restrained touch. “I like you, so I don’t regret forging the life-and-death contract with you, to live and die together. However, my inability to treat you with full effort is due to a genuine difficulty I can’t explain. If it made you feel uneasy, I apologize.”

Yun Wushang pressed her lips together, remaining silent, but her body gradually relaxed under Mo Xun’s comforting touch.

Finally, the hand propped near Mo Xun’s ear relaxed, and she lay down fully beside Mo Xun, pressing down on one of Mo Xun’s arms.

Mo Xun allowed her to press down, turning her face toward her, continuing to coax her with half-truths and half-lies: “Although I can’t treat you with full effort, I can promise you two things: First, I will provide you with a certain degree of treatment every day until you are fully recovered. Second, I will absolutely never hurt you. I have secrets I can’t share, but my liking for you is absolutely true.”

Yun Wushang closed her eyes. After a while, she sighed and said, “Fine.”

Mo Xun waited for a bit. Seeing she didn’t intend to speak again, she tentatively asked: “Continue the treatment?”

Yun Wushang simply “Mm”ed, lying beside Mo Xun with her eyes closed.

Mo Xun: “Then…”

Yun Wushang: “I’m too lazy to get up. Just treat me like this.”

Mo Xun: “Oh, that works too.”

Yun Wushang: “Not taking off my clothes today?”

Mo Xun: “Depends on whether you allow it.”

Yun Wushang: “If I allow it, you will take them off?”

Mo Xun: “Why not? Wouldn’t want to miss out if I don’t have to.”

Yun Wushang: “…”

“Alright, just kidding.” Mo Xun chuckled softly.

She was indeed joking, as interactions that had already occurred couldn’t earn extra reward points. Now, she no longer had a reason to undress Yun Wushang.

She pulled her hand out from under Yun Wushang, lay on the bed, formed hand seals, kept her left hand in the sealed position, and reached out with her right hand for Yun Wushang’s hand, lacing her fingers into Yun Wushang’s palm.

Yun Wushang felt a strong tickling sensation where Mo Xun’s fingertips brushed her, her entire palm tingling and unable to escape.

This woman always finds a way to disrupt my peace of mind.

Images of her practicing her art alone beneath the tree uncontrollably flashed in her mind. Her body seemed to retain the warmth and sensation of Mo Xun carrying her ashore from the water.

Since when did my gaze start being drawn to her, whether intentionally or unintentionally? It’s like I’ve been put under a spell.

However, Yun Wushang didn’t consider this something to be troubled by.

She was not like those rigid cultivators who would hesitate and deliberate repeatedly before making a decision.

She didn’t care about ethics, morals, or worldly opinions; she only cared about her own feelings.

Since she was interested in this woman, then Mo Xun shouldn’t dream of escaping her grasp.

Once she reached her peak, everything would be at her command.

Thinking this, Yun Wushang turned her hand and clasped Mo Xun’s hand.

Feeling the grip on her hand, Mo Xun’s eyebrows twitched, but she said nothing, completing the treatment as planned and securing the reward points.

System: “Mission completed: Hugging Yun Wushang, treating Yun Wushang. A total of 2 reward points received. Stored 14 reward points for the Host!”

Mo Xun treated Yun Wushang for a little longer. Feeling it was sufficient, she let go of her hand.

However, Yun Wushang was still clasping her hand, showing no intention of letting go or getting up.

After a moment of subtle silence, Mo Xun couldn’t help but clear her throat and say, “That’s enough treatment for today. If you’re still too lazy to get up, how about… I carry you back?”

“Didn’t you still want me to teach you Killing Intent into the Sword?” Yun Wushang replied.

Mo Xun was surprised: “You’re willing to teach me?”

She had thought that after she refused Yun Wushang’s request, Yun Wushang wouldn’t teach her anymore.

“If you want to learn, I will teach,” Yun Wushang said flatly. “But for tomorrow’s match, you won’t need Killing Intent into the Sword to win.”

Mo Xun: “How so?”

Yun Wushang: “Don’t you know the Teleportation Array? Why not use the formation to teleport the person off the arena?”

Mo Xun: !

A method I hadn’t considered… I was only thinking about how to force the opponent to concede and forgot that being knocked off the arena also counts as a victory.

But…

“Wouldn’t that be a little unfair?” Mo Xun felt it was slightly like cheating.

“How is it unfair?” Yun Wushang clearly disagreed.

Mo Xun: “It’s just that, winning without even fighting…”

Yun Wushang: “Why is there no fight? If below the arena was a cliff or a sea of fire, and the opponent couldn’t react in time to fly up before hitting the ground, they would either die or be severely injured.”

Mo Xun: “Makes sense.”

Yun Wushang: “The key is to not give the opponent a chance to use their sword to fly and ensure the opponent’s feet land firmly on the ground.”

Mo Xun: “I understand. Teleport the person and the sword to different places.”

After she said this, Yun Wushang paused subtly, then asked: “Can you activate two formations simultaneously?”

Mo Xun: “I haven’t tried, but opening one formation is opening one, and opening two is still opening two. I should be able to do it.”

Yun Wushang: “…”

That’s a very light-hearted way of putting it.

Both magic arts and formations test a cultivator’s spiritual energy, but magic arts test the intensity of spiritual energy, while formations test the cultivator’s control over it.

The more complex the formation, the more precise control is needed, which consumes a great deal of divine sense.

Many people have abundant spiritual energy, but their formation mastery doesn’t improve because their divine sense isn’t strong enough, or their control over spiritual energy isn’t precise enough.

Yun Wushang didn’t know the structure of the Teleportation Array Mo Xun used today, but disturbing space and setting it up was certainly not simple.

And Mo Xun not only successfully used it twice in one match but also believed she could activate two simultaneously, which showed how immensely powerful her divine sense was.

Interesting.

This is becoming more and more interesting.

“Hmm? Is there a problem?” Mo Xun noticed that Yun Wushang’s emotion was subtle and couldn’t help but ask.

Yun Wushang’s lips curved up: “No problem. Use this method to win tomorrow.”

Mo Xun: “What if my opponent tomorrow is Chu Jiuchu…”

“What about Chu Jiuchu?” Yun Wushang’s voice suddenly turned cold.

Mo Xun originally wanted to say that if her opponent tomorrow was Chu Jiuchu, she wouldn’t use this method to win. After all, she was a Senior Sister and the heroine of a novel she really liked. She didn’t want to sour her relationship with her.

However, sensing the displeasure in Yun Wushang’s tone, she almost instinctively changed her words: “Nothing. No matter who the opponent is, I’ll just fight.”

After speaking, it took her a moment to realize what was wrong.

Yun Wushang’s tone… could she be jealous?
