Chapter 1 - What a Pity, I’m Just a Cannon Fodder
Year 114 IC (Immortal Calendar)
Inside the [Three Thousand Demon Domain], on one of the Domain, simply known as the [Netherworld Domain], a man is currently filled with frustration and resignation.
“I was so stupid, really.”
Looking up at the ceiling that was somewhat familiar yet still strange, Luo Wusheng let out a sigh.
“To think I would actually think I could become the main character of my story, turns out… I was nothing.”
“Hah, able to awaken the famed [Diabolic Saint Body] at seven years old, chosen by the Demon Sect Master as a the Sect Holy Saint, able to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator at ten, forming my golden core and achieving the Golden Core cultivation realm at thirteen, and this year, just upon reaching adulthood, I was able to cultivate to the Peak of Golden Core without any hassle, I was just one step away from forming my Nascent Soul and advancing further.”
“To add on all of that godly talent, I was also handsome, suave, and have a charming personality, in a normal novel, even if not the protagonist, I would definitely be an important character with a high degree of importance, perhaps the Senior Brother of the protagonist who helped them from behind the shadow or protected them from bullies.”
“Now, tell me, which crazy author would use such a character as a cannon fodder NPC in an Xianxia novel?”
“… Okay, I misspoke, it kind of makes sense why they killed off this guy.”
“After all, this damn thing isn’t an Xianxia novel, it’s a fucking Yuri novel!”
Luo Wusheng was speechless.
Just now, all of a sudden, for some reason, he had awakened his memories from his past life.
Then he looked at his current life from the perspective of his past life’s memories.
His Innate talent, surpassing other Holy Saint candidates, leading to hi easy path to become the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint, and due to that, he loved to act as he pleased, he also live with a solitary personality, not unlike those who the people from his previous life would call a NEET.
At first, when he realized that he wasn’t a protagonist, he felt dumbfounded, but then, when he recalled his previous life memory, he embarrassingly discovered that he really wasn’t the protagonist, but rather, a pitiful cannon fodder character!
Comparing his memories from two lives, he finally realized that the world he was currently in was actually the world from a novel he had read in his past life.
The title of the novel was “Miss Sword Fairy, Please Save Me.”
It’s a Yuri Xianxia Novel with romance and comedy as its subplot.
As is well known, male characters that appear in yuri novels are generally not important characters, and their ultimate fate is understood by all.
And Luo Wusheng, The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect’s, appeared only a handful of times in the book, he was forever living in the conversations of the protagonists, and then— Easily died in the Demon Purging War.
And he was also part of the first group of people to die in the Demon Purging War.
I remember at the time when this section was read, the comment section was full of “Is this all the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect is?”, “Is this the fate of men in yuri novels?”, “Such a badass protagonist template, but unfortunately living in a yuri novel.”
In short, all that is left inside his heart is unwillingness.
Luo Wusheng couldn’t believe that he had crossed over into such a tragic cannon fodder character.
“The Demon Purging War happened in 115 IC… Doesn’t that mean I only have less than a year left to live?”
“No! I can’t just die like this!”
“System? I know you’re there, come out and save me… System daddy? Hello?”
Luo Wusheng’s face looked a bit ugly.
He realized that he was actually a transmigrator without a system to rely on!
This meant that he had to rely on himself to get rid of the tragic ending that was destined for his character.
Haaaa
Luo Wusheng took a deep breath.
After confirming that he had nothing to rely on, he became somewhat calm.
First, he surveyed the environment he was in.
Eerie white flames illuminated the pitch-black room.
The black bricks that flickered with a bloody light were used to make the walls, and while the room was simply decorated, it was filled with all sorts of strange rocks, some crystal clear like stars, others shrouded in a mist of blood like ghosts, and every one of them could make a person’s eyes light up and stir up their desire to collect them.
Luo Wusheng remembered the hobby of this Demon Sect’s Holy Saint in the novel – collecting rare stones from all over the world.
It was also because of this hobby that he had his first encounter with the true main character of the book.
Knock, knock
At this point, a knock on the door brought Luo Wusheng’s drifting thoughts back.
“To think the Senior Brother Holy Saint has a troubled look on his face, could it be that you’re thinking of me, Senior Brother?”
The door didn’t open, but the girl in the white dress was already crouching three steps away from him, her hands propping up her chin, smiling at him.
The girl’s voice was soft and seductive, and Luo Wusheng was almost rendered boneless by her calling him “Senior Brother.”
Luo Wusheng quickly understood the girl’s identity.
In the Three Thousand Demon Domains of the Demon Sect, there was only one person who dared to appear in his Holy Saint’s room like this.
Bai Xiaoyao, the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden and the master of the [Little Demon Domain], one of the 3.000 Demon Sect Domain, and was his junior sister.
But for Luo Wusheng at this moment, the other party had an even more important identity.
One of the protagonists— To be precise, one of the main character’s harem members.
Luo Wusheng is being scrutinized the Holy Maiden.
A cultivator with peerless beauty, her frown and smile showed off her allure, yet between her brows was also a sense of holiness that made it difficult for people to have impure thoughts.
She is a naturally born enchantress, and a natural born contradiction between Holiness and Naughtiness, her contradicting behavior is enough to seduce millions of men.
Too bad she’s a lesbian.
But to be honest, as a member of the main character’s harem, she also became one of the rare survivors of the Demon Sect after the Demon Purging War— Alas, if the plot had continued to follow the original work, he was afraid that he would have been unable to escape the calamity like the other members of the Demon Sect.
Huh?
Luo Wusheng felt a flash of inspiration in his mind.
He seemed to have some idea about how to get rid of the fate of being a cannon fodder a year later.
“Senior Brother Holy Saint isn’t talking today… But it’s rare that he didn’t directly tell me to get lost. Have you gotten used to me coming to visit you, Senior Brother?”
Bai Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes slightly, her thoughts unknown.
Recently, she had visited the [Netherworld Domain] quite frequently, and each time she would stay in her senior brother Holy Saint’s residence for a while before leaving.
At the beginning, this Senior Brother of hers would always make her leave, but in the past few days, he had been better—- Well, last time he had used his domain master privileges to throw her out.
But Bai Xiaoyao didn’t care.
As the Demon Sect Holy Maiden, she had her own little calculations in her heart.
The demoness was very confident that her Senior Brother, who was not good at socializing and only knew how to cultivate and collect stones all day long, had an emotional quotient as low as a block of wood, and would never figure out why she had been coming to see him every day recently.
Of course, she couldn’t be coming to maintain some kind of brother-sister relationship. She was here for…
“Do you want the Blood Spirit Jade?”
While she was thinking deeply inside her mind, Luo Wusheng suddenly spoke up.
The demoness was startled, almost unable to catch her breath, and looked at the handsome young man in disbelief.
Impossible—! How could Senior Brother Holy Saint know her purpose?
But Luo Wusheng shook his head and smiled, “Recently, you’ve been coming to see Senior Brother quite often, and although you haven’t revealed yourself, you’ve been sitting in different positions and choosing different times to observe the changes in the Blood Spirit Jade— Do Senior Brother need to say more?”
The demoness was shocked!
Her wooden-faced senior brother actually smiled— No, the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect actually knew her purpose!
Bai Xiaoyao’s goal was indeed the Blood Spirit Jade in the hands of her senior brother, who collected rare stones from all over the world. Although they were both Demon Sect Holy Saint and Holy Maiden, they had made no close relationship in their daily lives, and her Senior Brother attached great importance to those rare stones and gems, so she definitely couldn’t get them through normal means.
So the demoness had another plan.
She would find an opportunity to steal the Blood Spirit Jade and forge a stone with the exact same appearance and energy fluctuations to replace it.
Although the plan was simple, the demoness believed it was completely foolproof against her senior brother..
She thought her plan was flawless.
In fact, according to the original plot, she did succeed.
Holding the Blood Spirit Jade in her hand, Bai Xiaoyao looked towards Luo Wusheng with a hint of complexity in her eyes.
‘I never thought that Senior Brother Holy Saint could hide so deeply that even I was deceived by his usual behavior…’ The enchantress sighed, then looked at Luo Wusheng and pursed her lips.
“Senior Brother guessed it right, my goal is indeed the Blood Spirit Jade.”
“I see, here, take it.”
Luo Wusheng smiled at the girl in front of him.
Her pitiful appearance relaxed a bit, and her beautiful eyes seemed to have taken on some wonderful color, appearing very alluring.
She’s really beautiful…
Too bad she’s a lesbian.
“…By the way, you didn’t want the Blood Spirit Jade for yourself, did you?”
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Luo Wusheng suddenly spoke up.
Bai Xiaoyao’s delicate body trembled, and she stiffly lifted her head to look at her Senior Brother in surprise.
