Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder Survival Manual: Saving the Villain

Seeing that Chu Yufeng had no intention of taking action, He Ying stood up and walked to Taowu and Qiongqi, who seemed to be dying, and fed each of them a pill to protect their heart meridians and help them recover some vitality.

They both managed to regain their human form.

“…Okay.” Without wasting too long, for the sake of their respective subordinates and the future of the entire ghost domain, the four ferocious beasts had no choice but to submit.

Chu Yufeng did not make things difficult for them. He turned around and went on to kill the other demons and monsters that were unwilling to surrender.

He Ying looked at the man's gradually receding back and sighed worriedly. Actually...she had a little selfish motive when she said that to the four ferocious beasts just now.

After so many years of obsession, her feelings towards Chu Yufeng are very complicated. You could say it's love, but it's not to that extent, and it's not that pure either. Compared to Chu Yufeng as a person, she wants to improve her own cultivation more.

I don't know if I can make Chu Yufeng pay attention to me as his subordinate and stay by his side in the future.

When she received the sword just now, she clearly felt the gap between the two of them. It was an insurmountable chasm. She only hoped that Chu Yufeng would value her, fight with her, and teach her a few moves.

(I made some changes here. I originally planned to have He Ying fall in love with Chu Yufeng, but as I was writing, I felt that a girl who was almost obsessed with martial arts should not love someone completely.

Therefore, this feeling has become a rather vague one as I write now, which is more likely caused by her obsession to defeat such a strong man.)

He Ying had long anticipated that Shen Yingjin, who was close to Chu Yufeng, would come looking for him.

Sure enough, just as she and the four ferocious beasts surrendered, at the border of the two domains, her subordinates reported that Shen Yingjin wanted to break in.

He Ying raised an eyebrow.

I don’t know what that little brat who asked for a beating back then has grown up to be like now.

He Ying leaped forward and went straight to the junction of the two domains to stop Shen Yingjin.

The child has grown into a good-looking boy, which made He Ying stunned for a moment.

However, Shen Yingjin obviously didn't recognize her, whom she had only met once. She just waved her hand and controlled a branch to attack her, trying to break in by brute force.

He Ying realized that Shen Yingjin was still only an immortal and had not made any progress. He also thought that this little brat was so weak and yet he could be with a peerless strong man like Chu Yufeng, while he himself did not even have the qualifications to ask him for advice.

It's just... I feel a little uncomfortable for some reason.

She was a little distracted, and seeing the branch approaching, she carelessly swung out with the whip. Unexpectedly, she lost control of her strength and actually hit the child.

Whether it is demonic energy or ghost energy, the destructive power is very strong. Such a seemingly light whip would not make Shen Yingjin feel any better if it fell on him, not to mention that he is just a small immortal.

When He Ying saw the bloodstains left by his cloud bone whip on the child's body, he quickly retracted the whip and looked at the tail of the whip with some annoyance.

When she first met Shen Yingjin, she said that she would teach the kid a lesson when he grew up, but she was just saying it and didn't really want to teach a bastard who was tens of thousands of years younger than her a lesson.

But now that I have beaten him, I can't tell him that it was an accident. She looked up at the child's expression of suppressed pain and said coldly:

"He asked me to stop you, please go back, Immortal."

Shen Yingjin said to her with red eyes: "I don't believe it. You ask Chu Yufeng to come out to see me! Or, or... you can just let me in, and I'll go find him!"

He Ying thought of Chu Yufeng who was still killing demons and monsters deep in the ghost domain, and thought to himself, you little bastard, you would probably be even more disappointed if you saw him like this.

In order to avoid any unpleasant conflicts, He Ying still refused: "Sorry, no."

She didn't want to bully a child like this. She frowned as she looked at the blood on his body, then raised her hand to recall the black energy attached to his wound.

Shen Yingjin didn't care about the injuries on her body. She just lowered her head in disappointment after hearing what He Ying said. Then she looked up and smiled. She couldn't help but confessed miserably:

"From the time I came of age at the age of 20,000 to now, more than a thousand years have passed, and my brother has been unwilling to see me. I thought he was in seclusion.

But... he would always tell me in advance when he was in seclusion in the past, and he tacitly allowed me to separate a wisp of my soul to accompany him. This time, I looked for him for a long time, but couldn't find him in the place where he used to go in seclusion.

I thought I had done something wrong and my brother was avoiding me on purpose, or he was secretly preparing a surprise for me and would meet me again at the Flower Festival.

...I didn't expect that he would actually fall into the devil without telling me...

I...sister, can you please tell him for me that I will always wait for him, and he can come to me anytime he wants..."

After hearing what he said, He Ying felt that Shen Yingjin might have mistakenly thought that she was sent by Chu Yufeng, and Chu Yufeng might be secretly observing the movements here in the dark.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reveal so much private information to me in just a few sentences.

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong. Chu Yufeng didn't know what was going on here. However, He Ying thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I will tell him the last sentence for you."

"...Thank you." Under He Ying's gaze, Shen Yingjin turned and left, her back looking extremely lonely.

He Ying brought up the words that Shen Yingjin asked him to convey to Chu Yufeng, of course, omitting the fact that she stopped the little brat at the junction and accidentally whipped him.

He Ying kept staring at Chu Yufeng's expression and could visibly notice the changes in his facial expression.

After Chu Yufeng finished her words, the arc on the corner of his mouth disappeared. He lowered his eyes and stared at his fingers, and said lightly: "I know, you can go down."

He Ying couldn't tell what Chu Yufeng was thinking exactly, she only knew that he definitely cared about that little bastard Shen Yingjin, so she didn't dare to ask more and just stepped back.

After that day, Chu Yufeng traveled all over the ghost realm and killed almost all the monsters and ghosts that were unwilling to surrender to him.

However, within a short period of a hundred years, all the remaining demons and monsters in the ghost domain, which has always been known as the ownerless land, all worshipped Chu Yufeng as their leader. They spontaneously called him "Shangzun of the Abyss."

The four ferocious beasts didn't like Chu Yufeng, so they all used the excuses of recuperating and practicing to stay in seclusion. Chu Yufeng didn't like to get involved, so all the big and small matters in the entire ghost domain were handed over to He Ying.

He Ying was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs, therefore, apart from the fact that there was a demon lord in charge and people were not acting as recklessly as before, there seemed to be no other special changes in the ghost realm.

He Ying had complicated feelings towards Chu Yufeng, so she always paid secret attention to him. Over time, she discovered that their Lord had disappeared several times and ran off to the Nine Skies Cloud Region.

...I guess he went to look for that little brat.

It seems that no matter what the God of War becomes, his feelings for that little brat will not change.

He Ying knew about this, but she pretended not to know and did not follow the God of War to see how they got along.

(Secretly speaking, Shen Yingjin did recover his memory, but... anyway, in his memory, after he was stopped outside the ghost domain by He Ying, until he was accidentally killed by Chu Yufeng, Chu Yufeng did not take the initiative to look for him.

I will probably mention this in the final extra chapter, mentioning this part of lost memories.)

Time passed little by little, and after just a few hundred years, news came from the Jiuxiao Cloud Region.

It turned out that on the second day of the Flower Festival, Shen Yingjin was successfully promoted to Supreme God. Just like Supreme God Xuan Yan and Supreme God Huai Qi, this process did not involve any thunder tribulation, but was a very smooth promotion.

He Ying originally thought that Chu Yufeng would go to watch, at least as a lover he should go to congratulate, but she didn't expect that during the hundred years of the Flower Festival, Chu Yufeng never left the ghost domain again.

She was a little confused, but later she understood.

Because she saw it by accident.

...Seeing Chu Yufeng losing control, His Majesty was probably afraid of accidentally hurting the little brat.

That day, she had gone to report on the fight between two demons in the ghost realm that accidentally destroyed several hills, but she discovered that Chu Yufeng had lost control.
