I, a Villainous Cannon Fodder, Pick Up the Female Lead at the Start? Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Demonic Energy, Body Pillow

***

That strand of black energy wrapped around the pig demon’s corpse suddenly broke free from the body’s restraints and drifted straight toward Lin Muyu.

Lin Muyu was startled and hastily circulated the spiritual energy in her dantian, condensing it into a pale cyan spiritual energy barrier around the black energy, attempting to trap it.

But the mont the spiritual energy barrier touched the black energy, sothing strange happened.

The black energy made contact with the spiritual energy and forcibly corroded several tiny holes through the spiritual energy barrier.

“Ah?”

Lin Muyu was shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief as her grip on her sword tightened.

She knew there weren’t many substances that could compare to spiritual energy, let alone corrode it.

What kind of substance could have this kind of power?

“Wait?”

She suddenly stopped in her tracks as a vague mory flashed through her mind.

When Senior Sister Susu was lecturing the new students, she had ntioned a special dangerous substance.

That thing could corrode pure spiritual energy and could also corrupt humans and spirit beasts, transforming them into monsters…

Lin Muyu didn’t dare delay. She imdiately activated the spiritual energy within her body and used Insight to carefully examine the black energy.

【Demonic Energy】

【Property: Corrosion】

【Other Information: ???】

The clear text before her eyes made Lin Muyu gasp:

“It really is demonic energy?”

She was very unfamiliar with this substance that she had only seen ntioned in books, but Senior Sister Susu’s serious tone from that ti still echoed in her ears.

Because back then, due to Luo Chenxi’s impudence, both of them had been forced to stand as punishnt.

She rembered senior sister standing on the podium, holding a pitch-black book in her hand, warning the new students below:

“Demonic energy originates from rifts beyond the heavens. It naturally possesses extrely strong corrosive properties. Most terrifying of all, it excels at penetrating biological bodies, corrupting living things into bloodthirsty demonic clan mbers and demonic beasts.”

“Demonic clan mbers and demonic beasts are naturally murderous. Once discovered, there’s no need to report it, kill them imdiately without question.”

Recalling this, Lin Muyu’s heart couldn’t help but sink.

Clearly, demonic energy was the most feared thing in the cultivation world, and those demonic clan mbers and demonic beasts were the protagonists’ main enemies.

As for the original owner of her body, in the original plot she was nothing more than a minor villainous cannon fodder, only given so much screen ti to support the erotic plot elents.

But now, she should count as half-whitewashed, right?

On the female lead’s side, she had built good relationships with all the female leads, at least they weren’t enemies.

But on the male lead’s side… perhaps their relationship had deteriorated even more.

But she wasn’t afraid. Now many female leads stood by her side, so surely the Heavenly Dao couldn’t play favorites.

Of course, if demonic energy was discovered elsewhere, it would definitely have nothing to do with her.

She was just a small cultivator who had only recently reached Foundation Establishnt. These grand world affairs weren’t sothing she had the chance to participate in yet.

But this was Qinglan Sect’s territory! If there was demonic energy even around the sect grounds, then this matter definitely wasn’t simple.

She needed to hurry back and notify the sect. If she was even a step too late, sothing major might happen.

Thinking this, Lin Muyu hesitated no longer and collected both the black energy and the pig demon’s corpse into Xiaotao’s space.

Fearing the black energy would corrode the spiritual energy in the space, she deliberately partitioned off a small space within Xiaotao’s space and emptied all the spiritual energy inside before finally managing to temporarily stabilize this troubleso strand of demonic energy.

“Sister? Where’s the pig demon?”

A clear voice ca from behind. Xiaoyun asked breathlessly.

This girl, relying on her naturally nimble speed, had been the first to follow the commotion and find her way here after Lin Muyu had dealt with the pig demon.

She was currently covered in dust and dirt, her whole body splattered with the dust kicked up when the pig demon had charged around.

“I’ve already dealt with the pig demon.”

Lin Muyu turned around, her tone involuntarily becoming more serious.

“Go back and tell the villagers to hurry ho. Unless it’s sothing urgent, don’t leave the village. I need to return to the sect first.”

“Ah?”

Xiaoyun was stunned and wanted to ask more questions.

But Lin Muyu had already mounted her sword and was flying toward Qinglan Sect’s direction, leaving only a faint trail of spiritual energy.

Xiaoyun watched Lin Muyu’s hurried departing figure and quickly realized the seriousness of the situation.

She understood Lin Muyu. Normally, no matter how busy Lin Muyu was, she would never miss dinner.

Even though she was now a Foundation Establishnt stage cultivator who didn’t need to rely on ordinary food for sustenance.

But a foodie’s heart still made her enthusiastic about eating, perhaps this was just human nature.

Thinking of the berserk pig demon from earlier, and then of Lin Muyu’s serious expression, Xiaoyun didn’t dare delay. She turned and ran toward the village.

She planned to follow Lin Muyu’s instructions and notify the villagers door to door to stay inside with their doors closed.

On the other side, Lin Muyu rode her flying sword through the low altitude, her mind constantly calculating.

Who should she report this matter to?

“It’s not a security issue related to disciple conflicts, so I can’t go to the Enforcent Hall. It’s also not an ordinary demonic beast causing trouble, so the Beast Taming Peak definitely won’t handle it… Doesn’t that an I should go directly to the sect master?”

But she wasn’t familiar with Sect Master Fuyun.

She had seen him once from afar during the last sect ceremony. Although he seed amiable and approachable.

But for a small disciple like her to go directly to him, she might not even get to see him.

Actually, the person she should look for first was her own Master, Xinlian.

But thinking of that Master made Lin Muyu’s head ache.

That alcoholic woman had run off sowhere and had been missing for several months without sending back even a single ssage.

Just as she was internally conflicted, the flying sword beneath her feet had already landed in front of Qinglan Sect’s mountain gate.

She had just lifted her foot to step through the sect’s main gate when she suddenly felt her waist tighten. A pair of hands reached from behind and steadily wrapped around her waist.

A familiar scent of immortal wine washed over her, a scent she knew all too well.

Before she could cry out in surprise, her perspective suddenly spun, and the sound of wind in her ears abruptly disappeared.

In just an instant, she had gone from the sect’s main gate to that familiar small house on Jade Lotus Peak.

The familiar large bed beneath her was very soft.

Then, a lazy and familiar voice sounded by her ear, carrying a bit of the hoarseness of soone just waking up:

“Don’t move. Let this venerable one hold you for a bit. So tired…”

A warm body pressed tightly against her, a head resting on her neck, breath brushing against her skin with a ticklish sensation.

“Master?”

Lin Muyu asked tentatively in a small voice, her heart full of doubts.

Did this woman have so kind of telepathy?

Speak of the devil and the devil appears.

But no one responded to her. The only response was the even and deep breathing from behind her, clearly already sound asleep.

Lin Muyu tried to break free from Xinlian’s embrace.

But her Foundation Establishnt stage strength was like that of a newborn baby before Xinlian, the Jade Lotus Peak Master. No matter how she struggled, the other’s arms didn’t budge even slightly, if anything, they held her even tighter.

“Master! Wake up, I have sothing important to tell you!”

Lin Muyu raised her voice, trying to wake Xinlian with sound.

But Xinlian continued sleeping deeply. Instead, she nuzzled against Lin Muyu’s neck, finding an even more comfortable position.

Great. Lin Muyu sighed internally.

Even after becoming a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, beside such true powerhouses, she could still only serve as a body pillow to be held at will.
