Good News, I Transmigrated, But What the Heck is a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character? - Chapter 5

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were hidden.

Yu Wange, clad in white, sat still on a jade green meditation cushion. Spiritual energy flowed around her, but at a certain moment, her eyes snapped open!

Her brows furrowed slightly, her gaze like lightning, shooting towards Yu Wanwan’s small courtyard.

“Strange… why do I feel a faint sense of loss…”

Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the ring on her finger, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Though extremely faint, that wisp of fiery, pure fluctuation could absolutely not be mistaken!

“Could it be… that girl discovered the secret of the jade pendant?”

Her heart tightened, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

“Disciple, have you detected it?” Inside the ring, an old woman’s voice slowly sounded, carrying a hint of solemnity.

“Yes, Master.” Yu Wange whispered, her red lips tightly pressed. “I should have just taken the jade pendant directly when Yu Wanwan was unconscious. Now it’s causing trouble!”

Regret!

Extreme regret!

At first, she was concerned about the Yu family rules and thought Yu Wanwan was just a useless person who couldn’t stir up any trouble, which was why she didn’t act forcefully.

But now.

Getting that jade pendant had become troublesome.

“Can’t drag this out any longer.” She abruptly stood up, her sleeves fluttering, a cold glint appearing in her eyes. “Tonight, I must get it!”

Yu Wanwan’s small courtyard.

Mist permeated the air, and water murmured.

Inside the bathtub, hot steam rose, and a few petals of spiritual herbs floated on the water’s surface, filling the air with a faint fragrance.

Yu Wanwan leaned languidly against the rim of the tub, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, her snow-white skin tinged with a faint pink blush from the hot water, like superior quality mutton-fat jade.

“Tsk, this figure… it’s absolutely stunning.”

She looked down at her current body, a mischievous smile involuntarily playing on her lips.

(The lecherous soul burned brightly!)

After being tempered by the Phoenix True Blood, this body had undergone a complete transformation.

Her skin was like jade, flawless. Her waist was slender, yet supple and strong. Her legs were long, with curves so perfect it was hard to look away.

At the center of her brows, a faint flame mark appeared and disappeared, adding a touch of enchanting charm.

“Natural beauty is hard to forsake…”

She raised her hand and brushed away a wisp of wet hair. Water droplets slid down her collarbone, dripping into the water, spreading ripples.

(Narcissism mode fully activated!)

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful body, and it’s even my own?”

“This transmigration, a huge profit!”

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud, only to be charmed by her own laughter, and quickly coughed twice, feigning composure.

If Yuzhu wasn’t around, Gu Yang would definitely have done something outrageous.

“Third Miss, ever since you recovered from your injury, you’ve become even more beautiful, but it’s such a pity…” Yuzhu, the maid serving by her side, couldn’t help but sigh. But she stopped halfway, as if remembering something, and quickly fell silent.

Yu Wanwan raised an eyebrow: “Hmm? Why did you stop?”

Yuzhu whispered: “This servant misspoke… I just feel it’s unfair to Miss. With such divine beauty, yet you have to marry the City Lord’s foolish son…”

Yu Wanwan’s eyes turned slightly cold, but a meaningful smile played on her lips.

“Marry him? Heh.”

She gently caressed the petals floating on the water’s surface, her tone languid yet subtly sharp.

She secretly thought: “Don’t worry, your Miss won’t let herself be manipulated.”

“The one to break the situation will arrive soon.”

Her gaze shifted slightly, falling upon the phoenix jade pendant on the dressing table, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes.

“Yu Wange… please don’t disappoint me.”

The night was cool as water, and the candle shadow swayed.

Yu Wanwan reclined leisurely on a carved sandalwood couch, her fingertips idly fiddling with the gilded incense burner on the small table.

Wisps of green smoke rose from the burner, casting flickering light and shadow on her face, which was as vibrant as a peach blossom.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

The sound approached from afar, finally stopping outside the bedroom door.

“Fourth Miss, Third Miss has already retired for the night. You should come back tomorrow morning.” Yuzhu quickly stood up, blocking the door, her voice trembling slightly.

“Get out of the way!”

A sweet but firm shout pierced through the door.

Yu Wanwan’s lips curled slightly. She was all too familiar with that voice; it was her good sister, Yu Wange.

“I have urgent business with Third Sister. If you block me again, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Yuzhu was startled by the imposing presence and retreated half a step, but still firmly blocked the door: “Fourth Miss, Third Miss has truly gone to rest…”

“Seeking death!” Yu Wange’s hand was raised high, and just as it was about to fall, a voice came from inside the room.

“Yuzhu.”

Yu Wanwan’s tone was languid, tinged with a deliberate weariness. “Who is making a commotion outside?”

“Replying to Third Miss, it’s… it’s Fourth Miss who has come…”

“Oh? Is it Wange?” Yu Wanwan slowly tidied her clothes, making sure her collar was slightly open, revealing her slender collarbone. “Let her in.”

The door creaked open.

Yu Wange, in a goose-yellow silk dress, with jade pendants jingling at her waist, had a face that shared three-tenths resemblance to Yu Wanwan’s, filled with anxiety.

This anxiety, upon seeing the scene inside the room, instantly turned into astonishment.

Under the candlelight, Yu Wanwan half-reclined on the couch, the corners of her eyes red, the silk handkerchief in her hand mostly soaked with tears.

Seeing Yu Wange enter, she hastily turned her face away, her shoulders trembling slightly, looking exactly like a frightened rabbit.

What a beautiful painting of a weeping beauty with tear-streaked face!

Gu Yang: I truly have a talent for acting. It’s a pity I was a programmer.

Perhaps the Heavenly Dao saw my talent and decided to let me transmigrate into a woman…

“Third Sister?” Yu Wange paused, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by concern. “What happened to you?”

She hurried forward and warmly clasped Yu Wanwan’s hand.

The moment their fingertips touched, Yu Wanwan strongly resisted the urge to pull away.

“Wange…”

Yu Wanwan’s voice choked. She raised her tear-filled, hazy face. “The Patriarch, the Patriarch said he wants to marry me to the City Lord’s foolish son.”

Yu Wange’s pupils constricted sharply.

She was ecstatic inside, but showed no trace of it on her face. Instead, she furrowed her delicate brows, looking pained: “How, how can this be! Third Sister is so beautiful and radiant, how can she marry that fool? It’s simply a waste of natural beauty!”

As she spoke, she subtly eyed Yu Wanwan’s neck.

The Phoenix Jade Pendant she had been yearning for was indeed hanging there.

As expected, she took the bait.

Yu Wanwan sneered inwardly.

“Wange…”

She suddenly clasped Yu Wange’s hand in return, with such force that the other party felt pain. “The Patriarch dotes on you the most. Can you please beg for my sake, Elder Sister?”

A sharp glint flashed in Yu Wange’s eyes. She deliberately sighed with a feigned difficulty: “Third Sister, this is a family decision after all… I’m afraid it might be difficult to handle.”

She deliberately dragged out the end of her sentence, her gaze wandering around the room, finally fixing on the jade pendant around Yu Wanwan’s neck.

Even a fool would understand her meaning.

The fish had bitten the hook.

Yu Wanwan secretly rejoiced.

“If younger sister can help me with this…” she sobbed, getting up. “I’m willing to give the Phoenix Jade Pendant my mother left me to younger sister!”

The phoenix pattern on the jade pendant was lifelike, and under the candlelight, it seemed as if it was about to spread its wings and fly.

Yu Wange’s breath hitched, the greed in her eyes almost turning into substance.

She forced herself to remain calm, feigning refusal: “This, how can this be? This was left to Third Sister by your aunt.”

“As long as I can escape this marriage, I’ll do anything!” Yu Wanwan cried even more miserably. “If younger sister helps me break off the engagement and takes me to the Plum-Winged Sect, this jade pendant is yours!”

Plum-Winged Sect? Yu Wange’s heart stirred.

Taking Yu Wanwan into the Plum-Winged Sect wouldn’t be difficult. With her talent, the Plum-Winged Sect would surely be willing.

“Third Sister, don’t cry anymore…” Yu Wange pretended to pat Yu Wanwan’s back, her eyes however, remained fixed on the jade pendant. “The matter of going to the Plum-Winged Sect is easy to discuss. As for the marriage…”

She deliberately paused, watching Yu Wanwan’s anxious expression, feeling immensely pleased. “I can only try to beg Father.”

“Really?” Yu Wanwan’s tears turned into laughter, the speed of her change of expression momentarily stunning Yu Wange. “If younger sister succeeds, elder sister will definitely not go back on her word!”

“Rest assured, Third Sister.” Yu Wange finally couldn’t hold back and reached out to take the jade pendant.

“Wait!”

Yu Wanwan suddenly pulled her hand back, and under Yu Wange’s astonished gaze, pressed the jade pendant tightly to her chest: “Once the engagement is voided and younger sister takes me into the Plum-Winged Sect, this jade pendant will naturally be offered with both hands.”

Yu Wange’s face stiffened, then she forced a smile: “Of course…”
