Good News, I Transmigrated, But What the Heck is a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character? - Chapter 2

Yu Wange’s brows and eyes were gentle, and a perfectly measured smile of concern hung on her lips. Anyone who saw her would think she was a kind-hearted, benevolent younger sister.

Gu Yang lifted his gaze, subtly observing this “good sister.”

In the original novel, Yu Wange appeared delicate and harmless, but in reality, she was deeply manipulative, most skilled at using this pitiful appearance to gain others’ trust.

At this moment, the concern in her eyes seemed perfectly natural. If Gu Yang wasn’t familiar with the plot, he probably would have been deceived by her appearance.

“Much better.”

Gu Yang responded indifferently, subtly withdrawing his hand from her grasp. He lightly flicked his fingertips on the brocade quilt, as if to brush off something unclean.

Yu Wange’s expression froze slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

She gently bit her lower lip, her eyes glistening with tears: “Third Sister, in a few days, I’ll be going to the Plum-Winged Sect.”

As she spoke, she took off a verdant jade bracelet from her fair wrist. The jade bracelet was crystal clear throughout, with what looked like swirling mists inside, clearly no ordinary item.

“This Green Spirit Heart Protection Bracelet can withstand a full-force blow from a Foundation Establishment cultivator. I’ve worn it since childhood.” She handed over the jade bracelet, her voice soft like feathers brushing past. “Now, I’ll leave it for Third Sister, as a memento.”

Gu Yang sneered inwardly: No good deed goes unpunished, always a hidden motive!

In the original novel, this move by Yu Wange was truly insidious.

She first feigned a deep sisterly affection, gifting her protective magical artifact to Yu Wanwan, which significantly increased Yu Wanwan’s goodwill towards her.

Next, Yu Wange, under the guise of exchanging tokens of affection, cleverly tricked Yu Wanwan into giving up the Phoenix Jade Pendant left by her mother.

This Phoenix Jade Pendant was no ordinary item; it contained precious Phoenix True Blood.

After obtaining the jade pendant, Yu Wange unhesitatingly used the Phoenix True Blood within it to cleanse her meridians and reshape her spirit roots.

After this transformation, her spirit roots, which were originally only considered excellent dual spirit roots, instantly became the highly coveted Heavenly Spirit Roots.

From then on, Yu Wange’s life seemed to be on a cheat code, smooth sailing all the way.

With her outstanding aptitude as a Heavenly Spirit Root, she was successfully noticed by the Grand Elder of the Plum-Winged Sect and taken in as a true disciple.

Not only that, to display her magnanimity, Yu Wange even specifically brought Yu Wanwan into the Plum-Winged Sect, giving Yu Wanwan an opportunity to enter this cultivation sect as well.

Initially, Yu Wanwan was immensely grateful to Yu Wange. After all, with her aptitude, she would never have had the chance to enter a prestigious sect like the Plum-Winged Sect.

However, when Yu Wanwan accidentally discovered the truth.

Knowing that all of this was Yu Wange’s scheme to obtain her jade pendant, her world instantly crumbled.

Yu Wanwan could not accept such a fact. She confronted Yu Wange, hoping to get an explanation.

But Yu Wange, instead of answering her questions, turned the tables and accused Yu Wanwan of being ungrateful.

To those outsiders who didn’t know the truth, Yu Wanwan was a complete villain and a clown.

Everyone thought Yu Wange was so good to her, yet she was still slandering her.

After all, to outsiders, how could the esteemed number one beauty of the Plum-Winged Sect be the bad person Yu Wanwan claimed she was?

From then on, her reputation plummeted, and she was scorned and condemned by everyone.

Yu Wange, meanwhile, continued to enjoy her glory, completely unaffected.

Ultimately, Yu Wanwan gradually darkened in despair and pain.

Her heart filled with hatred and resentment, vowing to make Yu Wange pay the price.

Yet, fate played a cruel joke on her.

During a certain sect trial, the male lead, Chu Lingyun, stabbed her with a sword and threw her into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, where she became food for demonic snakes and died tragically.

The current Yu Wanwan was no longer the naive and kind girl she once was.

She had seen through Yu Wange’s true colors and understood the cruelty and hypocrisy of this world.

When Yu Wange tried to deceive her again with the same trick, Gu Yang sneered inwardly: “Hmph, you want to trick me again now? I’m no longer the old Yu Wanwan. If you want to scheme against me, not a chance!”

“Sister, this gift is too valuable.” Gu Yang feigned being overwhelmed but firmly pushed the jade bracelet back. “You should keep it yourself.”

A flicker of surprise flashed in Yu Wange’s eyes.

According to her expectations, with Yu Wanwan’s cultivation at the third layer of Qi Condensation, she should have been overjoyed to see such a protective magical artifact.

“If Third Sister feels bad about it,” Yu Wange suddenly leaned closer, intimately taking Yu Wanwan’s arm, “how about you also give me something as a keepsake?”

Her gaze fixated on the phoenix jade pendant hanging around Yu Wanwan’s neck. “I think Third Sister’s jade pendant is very unique… Why don’t you give it to me, so I can have it as a memento?”

Gu Yang’s eyes turned cold. He directly pulled his arm back: “This is my mother’s only relic.”

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

The smile on Yu Wange’s face almost couldn’t hold. She hadn’t expected this usually timid Third Sister to be so difficult today.

Her fingernails dug deep into her palm. Yu Wange forcefully suppressed her displeasure, and her eyes welled up as if on the verge of tears: “Is Third Sister blaming me for not being close enough to you normally?”

“I’m tired.” Gu Yang directly cut off her performance, rolling over and lying down. “If Sister has nothing else, please leave.”

Outside the window, it suddenly began to rain. Large raindrops pelted against the window lattices, making a rattling sound.

Yu Wange stood by the bed, the mask of gentleness on her face finally showing a crack.

“Then Third Sister, rest well. I’ll come see you again in a few days.” She managed to maintain a steady tone and, turning to leave, her skirt stirred a gust of cold wind.

As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, the fragility on Yu Wange’s face instantly vanished.

She didn’t bother with an umbrella, quickly passing through the covered walkway until she was sure no one was around. Then, she whispered to the plain black ring on her finger:

“Master, things have changed.”

A faint glow flickered on the ring, and an old, hoarse voice directly echoed in her mind: “That little girl could actually resist the temptation of the Green Spirit Ring? Interesting…”

Yu Wange’s brows furrowed deeply: “She refused quite firmly. Could it be… she discovered the secret of the jade pendant?”

“Impossible!” The voice in the ring suddenly rose. “Even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to detect the aura of Phoenix True Blood, let alone someone in the Qi Condensation stage!”

“If I didn’t have special sensing methods, I might not have discovered the clues either.”

In the rain, Yu Wange’s expression flickered between clear and dark.

Her plan, which she had been so confident about, had actually hit a snag at the very first hurdle.

“Master, what do we do now?”

The ring was silent for a moment, then spoke eerily: “No hurry. Since enticement didn’t work, we’ll try a different approach.”

“In three days, the Plum-Winged Sect’s Qi Condensing Pill will be delivered to the Yu family. You go see that little girl again then. I don’t believe she won’t be tempted by the Qi Condensing Pill, that’s a pill that can directly advance a Qi Condensation cultivator by one minor realm.”

“At that time, bringing up the exchange for the jade pendant will be a matter of course.”

Yu Wange’s lips curled into a cold sneer: “You can’t catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den. Master is brilliant.”

She looked back one last time at Yu Wanwan’s somewhat cramped room, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

Phoenix True Blood, she was determined to get it!
