The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Captured the Villainous Demon Venerable - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Lie Down, Then.

She really wanted to rush to the door immediately, open it, and see what the female lead of the novel The Eldest Sister of the Heartless Dao looked like.

But she couldn’t.

The female lead, Chu Jiuqu, was smart and sharp.

If Chu Jiuqu were to learn that Yun Wushang was severely injured, she would definitely become suspicious and report it to the Master.

Mo Xun looked at Yun Wushang.

Mo Xun had already intended to conceal Yun Wushang’s injury, and receiving her hint only strengthened her resolve.

She coughed twice, then continued in a strained voice. This time, her tone carried a hint of weakness: “Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I just started my period and feel a bit uncomfortable. I’ll be fine after resting for a bit.”

“Is that so?” Chu Jiuqu responded from outside the door. After a moment of silence, she probed again, “Junior Sister Mo, is there someone else in your room?”

“No, why do you ask?” Mo Xun asked in a confused tone.

“It’s nothing, perhaps I misheard.” Chu Jiuqu said, “Since Junior Sister is alright, I am relieved. If Junior Sister needs any elixirs, you can come to my room.”

Mo Xun: “Understood. Thank you, Senior Sister.”

Chu Jiuqu: “Get some good rest.”

Mo Xun: “Okay.”

The sound of clothes rustling came from outside, and the shadow cast on the door turned and left.

The house fell silent for a moment. After confirming that the person wouldn’t suddenly return, Mo Xun finally let out a sigh of relief.

Yun Wushang, sitting on the bed, pursed her lips and stared at her for a moment, then asked in a low voice: “Why did you cover for me?”

Her voice was still cold and indifferent, but it lacked some of the biting chill it had before.

Mo Xun looked at her, curved her lips into a smile: “Because I’m smart.”

Yun Wushang: ?

Mo Xun: “When I said I was going to get Master to treat you, you reacted so strongly. It’s obvious you don’t want anyone to know about your injury.”

Yun Wushang’s eyes narrowed again.

Mo Xun pretended not to notice the hidden danger in her gaze, and sighed to herself: “Alas, Junior Sister Yun, you actually don’t need to be so aggressive. It’s just a few injuries. Neither I, Senior Sister, nor Master would look down on you because of it.”

Yun Wushang didn’t speak. She simply continued to try to kill Mo Xun with her eyes.

Mo Xun continued to sigh: “But what can I do? I like you. So, I will definitely respect your wishes. If you don’t want anyone to know about your injury, I won’t tell anyone. Everything according to your wishes.”

“Heh.” Yun Wushang let out a cold laugh. “Kissing me only proves you like women. It doesn’t prove you like me.”

“What kind of talk is that? I only kiss people I like,” Mo Xun replied against her conscience.

However, before today, she genuinely thought she would only kiss people she liked.

In high school, her closest straight friend wanted to know what kissing felt like and invited her to try. She refused without a second thought.

But, when faced with the threat of this dangerous beauty, she didn’t know why her mind went blank and she just kissed her.

Moreover, she didn’t dislike the kiss.

It was important to know that, as a medical student, she was highly resistant to close contact with people—it was a potential cause of illness!

“Then tell me, how do you want me to prove it?” Mo Xun really didn’t know how else to prove her affection for Yun Wushang.

After all, this feeling fundamentally… didn’t exist.

Yun Wushang thought for a brief moment, then lifted the quilt off her body: “Clean my wounds.”

Huh?

Mo Xun looked at her in surprise.

Why did she suddenly give in?

Just because she helped conceal her injury?

While still surprised, Yun Wushang glared fiercely: “If you dare to touch anywhere outside the wound, whichever finger touches it, I will break it!”

“Alright, alright. If I touch it, you can break it. Lie down, then.”

Mo Xun had seen plenty of patients who threw down threats before accepting treatment, so she didn’t take it to heart at all.

Yun Wushang cooperated and lay down. She no longer covered herself, simply diverting her gaze to a blank space, hiding the suppressed pain in her eyes.

Mo Xun re-dampened the cotton cloth. This time, she finally touched Yun Wushang’s wounds.

She gently and meticulously cleaned all the injuries on Yun Wushang’s body, then circulated her spiritual energy to treat her.

After some time, the system’s voice rang out.

System: “Congratulations to the Host for completing the task of treating Yun Wushang’s injuries, gaining 1 reward point! Same rules as before, you can choose from the following three abilities…”

Mo Xun: “I want Evasion.”

System: “Does the Host wish to exchange for Reward Two, instinctively evade attacks…”

Mo Xun: “Yes.”

System: “Understood. The Host’s probability of instinctively evading attacks has been increased to 10%!”

Mo Xun: Stack Evasion until it reaches 100%.

Although Yun Wushang’s attitude toward her had clearly softened and was no longer as murderous as it was initially, she had to be prepared for both possibilities. What if Yun Wushang was just enduring the humiliation until her cultivation recovered?

Increasing cultivation requires practice, and practice requires time. Not to mention, Yun Wushang was a Great Ascension stage Demon Venerable. Mo Xun was catching up from the Foundation Establishment stage. There was no telling when she would be able to surpass the other party in cultivation.

Since that was the case, stacking Evasion first would greatly increase her survival rate.

And to stack Evasion, she must complete tasks and acquire reward points.

Mo Xun: “What’s the next task?”

System: “Sleep while hugging Yun Wushang. Completion grants 5 reward points!”

Mo Xun: “…”

Mo Xun: “Although the reward points are a lot, this one… I really can’t do.”

If the task was just to sleep in the same bed, she could excuse herself as being tired and just lie down next to Yun Wushang. But to hug Yun Wushang while sleeping… she was afraid Yun Wushang would break not just her finger, but her entire arm.

System: “It works like this, Host. You can complete a maximum of three different types of tasks each day, and the reward points for each task are issued based on completion. The three task types are:”

“One: Close contact with Yun Wushang.”

“Two: Accelerate Yun Wushang’s cultivation recovery speed.”

“Three: Progress in the relationship with Yun Wushang.”

“You have already completed the first two today. If you want to continue the task, you can only attempt the third one. If you can’t sleep while hugging Yun Wushang, you can also try getting Yun Wushang to voluntarily kiss you.”

Mo Xun: “…Even more impossible.”

Mo Xun: “However, I think I understand.”

Mo Xun stopped treating Yun Wushang.

A maximum of three different types of tasks per day meant that no matter how much more she treated Yun Wushang’s injuries today, she wouldn’t gain any more reward points. She would only accelerate Yun Wushang’s cultivation recovery speed, bringing her own death sooner.

Mo Xun met Yun Wushang’s gaze as she turned her head.

Yun Wushang’s eyes held obvious confusion: “Why did you stop?”

Mo Xun raised her hand to her forehead, feigning dizziness, and closed her eyes to answer: “I feel a bit dizzy. It might be because I used too much spiritual energy at once… Sorry, Junior Sister Yun. Although I really want to heal your injury immediately, if I had that capability, I would have joined the Benevolent Immortal Sect.”

The Three Great Immortal Sects of the Cultivation World: Mount Heavenly, Spirit Sword, and Benevolent.

Mount Heavenly cultivates techniques, Spirit Sword cultivates the way of the sword, and Benevolent cultivates medicine.

All cultivators who could use spiritual energy to heal, regardless of their spiritual root, would want to join the Benevolent Immortal Sect.

Because the reputation of the Benevolent Immortal Sect was there. Just wearing that green and white sect robe made people feel that their medical skills were profound and capable of bringing the dying back to life.

Before Mo Xun transmigrated, she had imagined that if she had cultivation talent when she crossed into this world, she would join the Benevolent Immortal Sect.

But now that she had crossed over, all she wanted was to save her life, complete the mission, and return to reality.

Perhaps Mo Xun’s acting was convincing, or perhaps she thought Mo Xun’s words made sense. Yun Wushang didn’t show suspicion. She rose from the bed and said coolly: “Then that’s enough for today. Fetch me my clothes.”

“Okay.” Mo Xun handed her a clean set of her own clothes. “You come find me tomorrow evening, and I’ll continue to treat your injuries.”

Yun Wushang took the clothes and narrowed her eyes at her: “Why evening?”

“Because I have to cultivate during the day, of course. Where was Junior Sister Yun’s mind wandering?” Mo Xun smiled slightly.

“I merely asked,” Yun Wushang said, shaking out the clothes and putting them on.

She quickly put on her clothes, got out of bed, picked up her sword, and left without a hint of reluctance, not even saying “Goodbye.”

Mo Xun watched her opening the door and leaving, feeling a bit depressed: “She could at least call me Senior Sister, honestly…”

Yun Wushang was a Great Ascension stage Demon Venerable, whose exact age was unknown, but certainly over 500 years old.

Even so, she was currently pretending to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Water Moon Immortal Sect. No matter how unwilling she was to be subordinate, she should at least fully play the part.

Yet she adopted this attitude of keeping everyone a thousand miles away, as if afraid others wouldn’t know she was different.

Seriously, don’t get killed by someone else before you kill me.

Mo Xun closed the door and only then realized what she had just thought, causing her to lose herself in thought for a moment.

Snapping out of it, she confirmed with the system.

Mo Xun: “If Yun Wushang dies, what happens to me?”

System: “You will die with her.”

Mo Xun: “…”

Mo Xun: “Understood.”

Mo Xun expressionlessly took off her still-damp clothes, circulated her spiritual energy to cleanse her body, changed into clean clothes, and then picked up a manual on the table titled Water Moon Sword Arts.

Mo Xun: “To what extent did the original owner cultivate this manual? Can’t you just let me inherit her memories?”

System: “I’m afraid not, because the character Mo Xun did not exist in reality before the Host transmigrated, so there are no memories for you to inherit.”

Mo Xun: “Did I really physically cross over?”

The system did not respond.

But Mo Xun found a mirror on her vanity, picked it up, and looked.

The person in the mirror had defined features, a heroic spirit in her eyes, combining beauty and vigor, and looked exactly like her in reality.

No, this was her own face.

Although she didn’t know why she had transmigrated, or why she absolutely had to win over the Demon Venerable Yun Wushang, since she had already transmigrated, figuring out those things wouldn’t help.

One, try everything to reduce Yun Wushang’s hatred towards her.

Two, complete the daily tasks, gain reward points, and stack them all on Evasion!

Three, cultivate like crazy to improve her own strength!

Thinking this, she opened the Water Moon Sword Arts with the same determination as she would open a massive test prep book.
