The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Captured the Villainous Demon Venerable - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Seven More Wives!

Mo Xun: System?

Mo Xun called out to the System in her mind, wanting to know if the System that had been guiding her was the same person as this female voice currently calling itself the System.

She knew instinctively that they shouldn’t be the same; the two voices gave her completely different feelings. But since it was the first time she had heard someone claim to be a System outside of her mind, it felt very unusual, and she couldn’t help but want to confirm.

However, her System remained unresponsive from start to finish, playing silent.

“What is a System?” Yun Wushang asked from the side.

That is not important,] the female voice from the secret realm replied. [What is important is that the trial has begun. I look forward to your performance.

As the voice faded, Mo Xun suddenly felt dizzy.

She instinctively reached for Yun Wushang’s hand, but grasped empty air. She could only force herself to stay conscious.

A moment later, the dizziness disappeared, and her vision returned to normal. Mo Xun focused on what was ahead, realizing that she… had seven more wives!

Mo Xun stared at the eight Yun Wushangs before her, falling silent.

The eight Yun Wushangs looked at each other. One of them suddenly flew up, releasing demonic energy, intent on killing the other seven.

Mo Xun instinctively wanted to intervene, but before she could, the remaining seven Yun Wushangs rushed towards her: “A-Xun, save me!” “Wuwuwu I’m so scared!” “I’m the real one. They’re all fake. Kill them!”

Mo Xun: “…”

Mo Xun raised her hand to form seals, throwing sixteen seeds toward the seven figures: “Entangling Cage Array, open!”

The sixteen seeds sprouted instantly, growing sixteen vines that tightly bound the seven people.

This would have been a perfect opportunity for the remaining Yun Wushang to kill the seven, but the remaining Yun Wushang decisively stopped, spinning and descending: “What trickery is this? To be able to imitate even my aura.”

Mo Xun looked at her and couldn’t help but smile: “Are you that afraid I’ll get hurt?”

She knew that Yun Wushang had stopped because she was afraid that breaking her array would cause Mo Xun to suffer a backlash injury.

She knew that only this Yun Wushang was real.

Yun Wushang’s brows were tightly furrowed, and her demonic energy surged around her, like an agitated cat with raised fur. Hearing Mo Xun’s comment, she irritably replied: “If you had chosen to help them just now, I would have attacked you as well.”

Mo Xun was not annoyed at all, calmly responding: “Seeing other versions of yourself, and your first reaction is to kill them all. Truly worthy of being you, whose emotional domain is based on slaughter.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the seven Yun Wushangs in the Entangling Cage Array dissolved into wisps of demonic energy and vanished without a trace.

Immediately after, the remaining Yun Wushang raised a hand to her forehead, shaking her head vigorously.

Mo Xun watched with wide eyes as the water surface at her feet churned, quickly forming seven people who looked exactly like her and emitted the exact same spiritual energy as her.

Mo Xun: …Now it’s my wife’s turn to identify me.

She crossed her arms, ready to enjoy the show.

Unless these figures attacked Yun Wushang, she would not intervene.

After all the “people” were ready, Yun Wushang’s consciousness fully recovered. She looked up, meeting eight identical bright pairs of eyes.

Yun Wushang: “…”

Yun Wushang: “You step forward yourself.”

Mo Xun: Heh, I won’t.

One fake Mo Xun stepped forward: “I’m the real one. They’re all fake!”

“Too noisy,” Yun Wushang instantly extinguished her with a blast of cold energy.

Mo Xun: ?

One fake Mo Xun was so terrified she turned and ran. Yun Wushang raised her hand again, sending out another blast of cold energy.

One fake Mo Xun attempted to approach Yun Wushang: “Alright, alright, I’ve stepped forward. Don’t be angry.”

Yun Wushang turned her head to look at her, scrutinizing her.

The fake Mo Xun’s eyes were humble, and a flattering smile curled her lips.

Yun Wushang expressionlessly raised her hand and shot out cold energy.

Like this, every time a Mo Xun stepped forward, Yun Wushang killed one. After much effort, only two Mo Xuns remained in the secret realm.

The real Mo Xun stood with her arms crossed, deep in thought, while the fake Mo Xun stood rigidly in place, stiff as wood.

Yun Wushang looked in the direction of the real Mo Xun, raised her hand toward her, and made a gesture as if to fire cold energy: “If you don’t step forward now, I will attack you.”

Mo Xun figured her ability to dodge 100% of attacks should still be active, and now with the theoretical support of foreseeing the future, she boldly took a step forward.

Mo Xun was momentarily lost in thought, then curiously asked: “Although their acting was all terrible, I still want to ask… How did you confirm which one was me?”

Faced with those seven fake Yun Wushangs, the reason Mo Xun chose to use the Entangling Cage Array instead of the Bone Bracelet Eighteen Blades was precisely because she couldn’t be 100% certain.

What if?

If she accidentally hurt her wife, that would be a small matter that couldn’t be resolved by just kneeling on a washboard.

But Yun Wushang was ruthlessly decisive when killing the fake Mo Xuns, striking without the slightest hesitation, which made Mo Xun’s scalp tingle.

To this, Yun Wushang replied: “Instinct.”

Mo Xun: “…”

“No.” Yun Wushang answered herself, then immediately denied it, offering another answer: “I felt that among these people, you were the most disobedient and the least likely to pamper me.”

Mo Xun: “…You misunderstand me.”

Mo Xun felt wronged. She thought she was quite doting toward her wife! She gave Yun Wushang both the first artifact she successfully refined and her first ninth-grade artifact. She even incorporated her own flesh and blood into the ninth-grade artifact.

Yun Wushang lowered her gaze. The surging demonic energy around her gradually calmed down. She composed her emotions before answering: “Their vision only held me, while your vision holds more than just me.”

Mo Xun was momentarily distracted, unable to grasp who else she meant in her vision. Did she mean the other versions of herself in the secret realm, or…

Yun Wushang: “I know that your love for me is genuine, but you won’t only focus on me because you love me. You have your own path to walk, your own goals to achieve, your own pursuits, and things you want to do. I will never be able to confine you to my side. If I want you, I can only chase your shadow.”

“And those fake versions of you didn’t need me to chase them; they walked toward me themselves.”

Yun Wushang finished speaking.

Mo Xun subtly pursed her lips.

She suddenly realized that Yun Wushang understood her far better than she had imagined.

That makes sense. After all, she’s the woman who played a ten-day-long chase with her…

However, there was one thing Mo Xun felt needed clarification: “My biggest goal right now is to protect you, to have enough power to protect you.”

Yun Wushang acknowledged this with an “Mm” and smiled: “I know. That’s my goal too.”

As her voice faded, a sound of “clap, clap, clap” echoed in the secret realm, as if someone was applauding.

Following that, the female voice claiming to be the System rang out: Wow, that’s so moving. To think that such exquisite love can exist between an immortal and a demon! Congratulations on passing the first trial hand in hand. I hope you can still pass the remaining trials with a smile.

As the voice faded, a burst of laughter followed.

Mo Xun looked into the void, deep in thought.

The first trial was a test of how well the immortal and demonic cultivators entering the secret realm understood each other? If they didn’t understand each other well enough, they couldn’t cultivate the True Demon Formula?

What exactly is in that True Demon Formula? She was truly curious now.
