The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Captured the Villainous Demon Venerable - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Marry Me

The name Bone Ring Hidden Needle, which Mo Xun had decided on before refining the artifact, was unequivocally mocked by the System.

System: Afraid people won’t know there’s a needle hidden in the ring?

Mo Xun: The feeling of “Hidden Needle” is cool. It gives off a sense of concealed danger… If you don’t get it, fine. Anyway, when Wushang uses it, she won’t shout, “Go, Bone Ring Hidden Needle,” she’ll just say with a cold face, “Die for me.”

System: I can already picture the scene. You truly understand her.

Mo Xun: She’s my wife, after all.

System: …

Mo Xun: Or she can name it, since it’s a magic treasure gifted to her.

Yun Wushang was very satisfied with the name “Bone Ring Hidden Needle”: “Not bad. It’s consistent with your Bone Bracelet Eighteen Blades.”

Mo Xun boasted internally: My wife truly knows quality.

System: …Compared to the Great Ascension Death-Ray Ring, it’s definitely not bad.

Although the Bone Ring Hidden Needle contained Water and Wood energy, it was entirely ice-blue with a metallic texture. A deep and beautiful sapphire, like the ocean, was set in the center, and the lethal needle was concealed within it.

Although called a “needle,” it wasn’t a metal needle but one bred from demonic power. After being shot out, it didn’t need to be retrieved; a new one would quickly be nurtured.

Just as Mo Xun finished tidying Yun Wushang’s hair and robes, preparing to leave the Nest of the Two Poles with her, she sensed a disturbance in the nine layers of restrictions she had set up in the room.

“Luo Baozhu is out of seclusion,” she assessed.

“Isn’t that perfect?” Yun Wushang showed no sign of unease. She actively grasped Mo Xun’s left hand with her right, ready at any moment to drive the Bone Ring Hidden Needle with demonic energy.

She completely trusted the magic treasure refined by Mo Xun.

Mo Xun was not skilled in spell attacks, and her swordsmanship was only average, but she had never disappointed Yun Wushang in array formations, pill refining, or artifact forging.

“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you one more piece of good news before we leave,” Mo Xun suddenly recalled something.

“More good news?” Yun Wushang looked surprised.

She felt that no news could be more shocking than Mo Xun breaking through to the Great Ascension stage and refining a ninth-grade magic treasure within two years.

Mo Xun hummed in affirmation, then announced the good news: “Luo Baozhu’s tower, the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Pagoda, is gone.”

Yun Wushang: “…Huh?”

Yun Wushang blinked blankly. It took her a moment to confirm she hadn’t misheard. Her eyes lit up: “You did it?”

Mo Xun recounted how she had used the Great Ascension stage Heavenly Tribulation to destroy the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Pagoda, eliciting a burst of laughter from Yun Wushang: “Well done! Luo Baozhu, let’s see what you’ll use to suppress me now!”

However, when Mo Xun removed the nine layers of restrictions and prepared to seek revenge with Yun Wushang…

Mo Xun was still suppressing a laugh, but Yun Wushang’s expression instantly changed. She lifted her chin, her gaze cold, disdainful, and haughty.

Then she spoke that sentence to Luo Baozhu: “You came at the right time. Saves me the trouble of finding you. Now, go die.”

As soon as the words fell, demonic energy entered the ring. A needle, invisible to the naked eye, shot out instantly and plunged into Luo Baozhu’s shoulder.

Luo Baozhu instinctively tried to dodge sideways but was ultimately a step too late.

When the needle first struck, her body felt no abnormality, not even a trace of pain.

However, a moment later, all the spiritual energy in her body uncontrollably surged to a spot on her shoulder. Immediately following that, something began to grow in her flesh and blood, piercing her skin and violently emerging, causing intense pain!

Luo Baozhu was forced to scream, looking terrified at her shoulder. Underneath her light-gold robes, an unknown turmoil surged, growing louder and louder, until it finally ripped the robes, revealing its true form.

It was a vine!

Several black vines with red leaves, looking extremely bizarre, like the tentacles of some monster. They continuously poured out of Luo Baozhu’s wound, wrapping around her arm like they were alive, and constricting her neck.

“Ah ah ah ah ah!”

The intense pain and fear made Luo Baozhu’s screams increasingly agonizing.

She realized that she was no match for the two of them now and tried to turn and escape. However, just as she turned around, a wall of ice rose up in front of her.

“Trying to run?” Yun Wushang blocked Luo Baozhu’s path with the ice wall, then immediately shot a second needle towards her calf. Soon, the same bizarre black vines grew out of Luo Baozhu’s calf, tying her legs and preventing her from taking another step.

Water generates Wood. The vines, infused with Water and Wood energy, grew wildly as if fueled by a catalyst, brutally devouring Luo Baozhu’s spiritual energy and flesh and blood in the process.

When the vines reached a certain thickness, there was a “crack”—the sound of Luo Baozhu’s leg bone being crushed and fractured.

Luo Baozhu screamed and fell to the ground. Realizing she couldn’t escape, she desperately brought out all her magic treasures, attempting a counterattack.

But how could Mo Xun allow her to harm Yun Wushang even a single hair again?

“Profound Turtle Counter-Injury Array, open!” Mo Xun snapped her fingers, raising her right hand. Eight wooden stakes immediately rose up in the eight directions around her and Yun Wushang, forming a spiritual energy shield that blocked all the magic treasures’ attacks and reflected some of the spell attacks, instantly destroying several more of Luo Baozhu’s magic treasures.

Luo Baozhu’s body convulsed on the ground, her eyes fixed on the pair filled with intense hatred: “Bitches! Two bitches! If I had known you were working together, I would have…”

“Too talkative.” Yun Wushang shot a third needle toward Luo Baozhu’s mouth.

Vines grew out of Luo Baozhu’s mouth. Now, Luo Baozhu couldn’t even scream, let alone curse.

The vines continuously absorbed Luo Baozhu’s spiritual energy and flesh and blood. Her strength and vitality were steadily draining away.

Just before she took her last breath, Yun Wushang said in a calm tone: “You said I killed your Senior Sister and Junior Brother. I don’t recall who your Junior Brother was, so he must not have been important. But your Senior Sister—it was she who spread that rumor about me throughout the entire Immortal Gate and even attempted to propagate it externally. She played a part in my demonic descent, so her death is deserved!”

“Yun Qianchong knew my grievances and intended to let me leave. I don’t hate her. Even if she later nearly took my life, it was because immortals and demons are natural enemies.”

“But you, Luo Baozhu! You took advantage of your higher cultivation to imprison and torture me, using my blood to sacrifice to your artifacts! I hate you, and I hate your magic treasures! I wish you a life worse than death, but you don’t deserve to live!”

Halfway through her speech, Yun Wushang unconsciously released her emotional domain, engulfing both Luo Baozhu and Mo Xun.

However, all the killing intent-laden demonic sha energy within her domain bypassed Mo Xun and surged toward Luo Baozhu.

This was Mo Xun’s first time experiencing Yun Wushang’s emotional domain. It was an overwhelming rush of violently surging, nearly out-of-control emotions: rage, disappointment, sorrow, disgust, and the feeling of release and desolation after indulging in slaughter.

Yun Wushang’s emotions were rich and intense, momentarily making Mo Xun feel overwhelmed.

If Mo Xun’s emotions were like a mirror-like lake with occasional ripples, Yun Wushang’s emotions were a turbulent and perilous sea.

Mo Xun didn’t know what Luo Baozhu perceived within Yun Wushang’s emotional domain, but the person who had always been aloof and arrogant in Mo Xun’s memory actually trembled and whimpered. The uncomfortable scorn in her narrow eyes was gone, replaced only by fear—fear so intense that it brought forth liquid.

“Crying? Now you know fear? Why weren’t you afraid when you spared my life twice, using your magic treasures to injure my physical body?” Yun Wushang sneered, raising one palm toward Luo Baozhu. Bone-chilling cold instantly enveloped the other party, freezing and tearing her skin inch by inch.

Luo Baozhu whimpered more erratically, but at this point, she couldn’t even attack the pair, much less commit suicide. She could only endure the agonizing, slow pain of this execution.

As an artifact forger, she had always been the center of attention. When fighting, others fought for her. Materials for refining were collected for her. Even when she personally participated in battle, she only needed to bring out her magic treasures and leave the rest to them.

Therefore, at this moment, having lost most of her magic treasures and having fallen out with Yun Qianchong, she was utterly defenseless against the two, whose cultivation was only one minor stage lower than hers, like a fish on a cutting board, to be exploited at will.

Does she regret it? Luo Baozhu only regretted not killing Yun Wushang! Why did she fail to kill her both times?

No, that’s not right. Why was this woman able to escape from my tower twice?

Who was it last time? And who is it this time? Who destroyed my Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Pagoda? Why could Mo Xun break through to the Great Ascension stage in just two years?

And that artifact, that artifact that caused her such pain—who refined it? Could it be Mo Xun?

Why is all this happening? Who on earth is she facing!

Luo Baozhu had intended to squeeze all the answers out of Mo Xun, but now, unable to even make a sound, she could only head toward death with all these questions festering inside.

After Yun Wushang used ice spells to shatter all of Luo Baozhu’s limbs, she looked at Luo Baozhu, who no longer had the strength to whimper. Finally losing interest, she froze the remaining parts of her all at once, then stepped on the ice, shattering her and the ice all over the ground.

“Satisfied now?” Mo Xun asked softly.

Yun Wushang withdrew her emotional domain and gave an “Mm.”

She was actually concerned that Mo Xun might think she went too far. After all, Mo Xun was an immortal cultivator and had only spent a short time in the Demon Realm. She probably hadn’t witnessed such cruel scenes much.

Mo Xun was indeed witnessing a person being tortured to death for the first time, but remembering everything this person had done to Yun Wushang, she wouldn’t even mind if Yun Wushang had gone a little further.

“Yun Qianchong… what do you plan to do about her?” Mo Xun asked her.

Yun Wushang pursed her lips and was silent for a while before answering: “I don’t know.”

She said she didn’t know, but Mo Xun already understood her thoughts. She lightly squeezed the back of Yun Wushang’s hand with the hand she was holding: “Let’s go. We’ll leave this place. Then, whether we return to the Demon Realm or the Water Moon Immortal Sect, I’ll go wherever you want. Anyway, I can reverse demonic energy into spiritual energy, so I can cultivate anywhere.”

“Alright. Then…” Yun Wushang was about to state her decision when she suddenly sensed a Great Ascension stage spiritual energy descending from the sky. She quickly flung Mo Xun’s hand away and shielded her behind her.

However, after being thrown aside, Mo Xun immediately brought out the Nest of the Two Poles: “Let’s go.”

She took Yun Wushang into the Nest of the Two Poles. With a thought, the eighth-grade magic treasure used a Spatial Folding technique to leave Luo Baozhu’s Qionglou Illusory Realm and arrived outside the Heavenly Mountain Immortal Gate’s sect-protecting array.

Yun Wushang looked up in confusion. Inside the illusory realm of the Nest of the Two Poles, the white walls that wrapped around the entire space, which were originally oval-shaped, became transparent. They could clearly see the scenery outside and hear the sounds from the external world!

She saw Yun Qianchong, whose body appeared several times larger than hers, chasing them from behind, her eyes filled with icy killing intent.

She heard the ear-splitting shriek of thousands of swords slicing through the air.

However, the current Mo Xun was also at the Great Ascension stage. Her spiritual energy wrapped around the Nest of the Two Poles, and she fled toward the Demon Realm at a speed no slower than Yun Qianchong’s. After using the Spatial Folding technique three times in a row, she completely left Yun Qianchong far behind!

It took Yun Wushang a long time to recover, and she lamented somewhat resentfully: “So the Nest of the Two Poles can sense the outside world.”

Mo Xun: “…Mm.”

Yun Wushang: “Why didn’t you teach me?”

Mo Xun: “Because I was afraid.”

Yun Wushang: “…Of what?”

Mo Xun: “I was afraid that if I encountered danger, you would panic and run out, and at that time, I still didn’t have the power to protect you.”

Yun Wushang wanted to retort but stopped herself, ultimately unable to say a single word of rebuttal.

Mo Xun was right. If Mo Xun encountered danger, there was no way she could shrink back into the Nest of the Two Poles and watch idly, indifferent.

“Yun Qianchong sensed your demonic energy. She won’t give up easily. It seems we will have to stay in the Demon Realm for a while,” Mo Xun decided for Yun Wushang.

“Coincidentally, I was indeed planning to return to the Demon Realm once,” Yun Wushang replied. “The bed you prepared for me is too soft. I haven’t quite gotten used to it. I need to go back and move my Cold Jade Bed into this place.”

“Alright,” Mo Xun agreed, unable to suppress a smile.

She intentionally decorated the Nest of the Two Poles to be a cozy little home for her and Yun Wushang. Hearing Yun Wushang say this now, she sensed that Yun Wushang also considered this place home, making her extremely happy.

“Also,” Yun Wushang continued after a pause, “when we return to the Demon Realm, marry me.”

Yun Wushang rubbed the ring on her left hand with her right and said: “Considering this ninth-grade magic treasure, I permit you to be my Queen.”

Hearing this, Mo Xun fell into a subtle silence. After a moment, she squeezed out an “Alright” through her teeth, then added: “If you can beat me.”

Yun Wushang: ?

Mo Xun: “If you can’t beat me, then be my wife.”
