Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

The sky was clear and the night wind was blowing gently, lifting a corner of the white curtain in the east wing. The woman on the bed opened her eyes, and her eyes, which should have been bright and shining, were now empty.

She moved to the bedside clumsily and stood on the ground barefoot without even putting on shoes. Her whole body was skinny, except for her stomach, which was particularly swollen, as if it was about to burst.

The maid on the small couch uttered a sound in her sleep, which attracted the woman's dull gaze. She covered her stomach and walked stiffly to the maid and stood there. Then she turned around, opened the door, and walked out straight.

The night wind rushed into the room from the door. The maid shivered with cold and suddenly sat up from the bed. Seeing that the door had been opened without her knowing, she quickly put on her shoes and closed the door, muttering as she walked away, "I clearly remembered to close the door."

She walked to the bed, wanting to see if the person on the bed was sleeping soundly. She lifted the curtain and looked, but there was no one on the bed. Her aunt was about to give birth, so where would she go alone now?

The maid anxiously went out with an oil lamp to look for her, and finally saw the figure in white nightgown. The aunt had long hair draped over her shoulders, and her black hair fluttered in the night wind. The white clothes and black hair were hidden in the darkness, like a ghost, which made her shiver uncontrollably.

Seeing that the aunt was still moving forward, the maid put aside her fear and tentatively called out, "Aunt, Aunt An."

Aunt An turned a deaf ear to him and continued walking forward holding her big belly.

The maid panicked and shouted, "Mrs. An, come back quickly. There is a pond ahead."

Aunt An seemed to be deaf to it and fell straight down with a plop.

The maid was startled and ran over quickly. She saw that Aunt An did not sink into the water, but was standing on the edge of the pond. The water was over her chest. She was holding on to the wall with both hands. Her nails were white from the force. There were big beads of sweat on her forehead. She cried out miserably, "It hurts, my stomach hurts so much."

The maid was frightened by this strange scene. Her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking: "Auntie...Auntie, are you going to give birth?"

How can you give birth in the pool? Thinking of this, she began to shout: "Hurry up, Aunt An is about to give birth."

At this moment, Aunt An reached out and pulled her down. The maid fell into the water, but the water was not deep. She wanted to stand up, but was pressed into the water by a pair of hands.

Through the moonlight, she saw that Aunt An's pants were gone, revealing her white thighs. Blood was flowing from her body. With a "puff", something slipped out from between Aunt An's legs. Was the baby born?

No, the maid widened her eyes, they were thousands of insect eggs!

She wanted to call for help, but Aunt An still held her down tightly. After a long time, she stopped struggling and sank softly to the bottom of the water.

Aunt An lost her strength, her body tilted, and she sank.

The surface of the pool returned to calm, as if no one knew that such a strange thing had happened in such a quiet and peaceful night.

"Zhao Zhao, I've been feeling very upset because of something recently." Yu Miaoyi's face was full of worry.

Shen Zhaozhao followed her gaze and saw Xie Yanshu and Gu Qianmeng practicing swordplay under a tree. They used whips and swords, and their moves were varied, but it was obvious that the two of them had a great understanding of each other.

She understood, pursed her lips and said, "Is he my senior brother?"

Yu Miaoyi looked at her in surprise, as if she didn't expect that she would know her thoughts before she even said them: "I... I like Brother Xie. He taught me swordplay and treated me very well, but he treated Sister Gu... and you just as well. I don't know how he sees me, but I always feel that he only treats me as a little sister."

Shen Zhaozhao was silent. During this time, she also sorted out some of her thoughts. From what she knew about the world in the book, Xie Yanshu and Gu Qianmeng were a couple.

But according to the system, Xie Yanshu and Yu Miaoyi might have been a couple in the past, but Gu Qianmeng did some things and it became the story she knew.

It's really cutting constantly, and the rationale is still messed up.

Yu Miaoyi retracted her gaze, feeling lost: "Sister Gu is so good, many people like her, and Lu Jin broke off the engagement with me because of her. Although I like Brother Xie, I don't dare to fight for him, but... I'm not willing to accept it."

Shen Zhaozhao didn't know how to comfort her, so he just put his hand on hers and patted it gently.

In fact, she had another idea. Since they were all the protagonists, a threesome might be... not a bad idea.

"Hey, you're here!" Xie Yanshu saw them, smiled at Gu Qianmeng, put away his sword and walked towards them.

Gu Qianmeng wiped the sweat from her forehead and put away the whip.

Seeing that no one was around, Xie Yanshu lowered his voice and said, "Qianmeng said that her compass detected a monster in this cloth shop. Zhaozhao, you still don't smell the monster?"

Shen Zhaozhao also knew that there was a phantom monster here, but she really didn't smell anything. She didn't know if her nose was not working properly.

But now that the phantom demon hasn't shown up, it's not a good idea for them to stay here.

Shen Zhaozhao looked at Gu Qianmeng: "Sister Gu, do you have any ideas?"

Gu Qianmeng looked at Yu Miaoyi again, and seemed to be a little entangled. She crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a ball: "I once heard Master say that all monsters in this world have their own aura, but there is only one kind of monster that has no aura."

Shen Zhaozhao understood immediately: "Illusionary demon?"

Xie Yanshu gave her an admiring look. He didn't expect that Zhao Zhao, who was usually uneducated, actually knew about illusion monsters.

Shen Zhaozhao's face turned red, and she felt embarrassed by his praise. She didn't know what the Huan Yao was. She only knew about this monster from the conversation between Gu Qianmeng and the system.

Gu Qianmeng nodded and continued, "The phantom monster is made up of the seven emotions and six desires of humans, immortals, monsters, and demons. It has the aura of the four races. As long as it hides its aura, it will naturally not have the aura of a monster."

Shen Zhaozhao was shocked: Wow, the origin of this phantom monster is so amazing. According to Gu Qianmeng's reaction, A Yao is most likely the phantom monster, but how can her true form be revealed?

Xie Yanshu frowned. After hearing what Gu Qianmeng said, he remembered.

The illusion monster usually likes to feed on the seven emotions and six desires, and is good at weaving illusions. It lures women born on yin months, yin days and yin hours into their dreams, spying on what they are thinking in their hearts, and then makes them unable to wake up from their dreams, and then it eats all the souls of these women.

Where can they find women born on a yin month, yin day, and yin hour? And using women as bait is too risky.

Yu Miaoyi indirectly asked what Shen Zhaozhao was thinking: "How can we find this phantom monster?"

Gu Qianmeng said: "We need a woman born on a yin month, yin day and yin hour as bait."

Yu Miaoyi paused after hearing this, shrank her neck and raised her hands: "I was born on a yin month, yin day and yin hour."

Gu Qianmeng did not say anything. She acted according to her actions in her previous life: after Yu Miaoyi learned these from her, she volunteered to be the bait despite Xie Yanshu's objection. Then Yu Miaoyi accidentally destroyed a part of the magic circle, which resulted in her being seriously injured in the process of catching the phantom monster. Xie Yanshu blamed Yu Miaoyi for overestimating her own abilities and doing bad things, and then took care of her for half a month without taking off his clothes.

From then on, Xie Yanshu's favorability towards her soared to 75%, and he became increasingly distant from Yu Miaoyi.

If she didn't take the initiative to tell others about the phantom demon today, the plot in the book would be: Yu Miaoyi would be taken to a dream by the phantom demon tonight, Xie Yanshu would save her, and take care of her for half a month without taking off his clothes, and their feelings would deepen day by day.

This is the story that belongs to the two of them, and she, Gu Qianmeng, is just a small cannon fodder who died in the Cangxiang Pavilion.
