Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 197 The Cannon Fodder Substitute of the Fantasy Heroine

Su Lan had to put on a complete show because she didn't want Demon Lord Yu to notice that something was wrong with her too early. Moreover, she had to make the enemy think that they had fallen into a trap so that they would let down their guard.

"Okay, host, I'll look for it." Tuanzi quickly browsed through the items in the system mall and found the "God-Defying Luck Gold Finger" that lasted for three months.

Su Lan thought that this golden finger could only make people misunderstand that the user had extraordinary luck. It was usually a prop used by taskers to show off. It was also cheap, only three points. She decisively exchanged it and gave it to the woman.

At that moment, a colorful light suddenly burst out from Duanmu Rong's head, just like the cheap special effects in a TV drama. This strange sight made Su Lan squint her eyes and peek secretly, almost laughing out loud.

The Demon Lord Yu in the jade pendant also noticed this abnormal phenomenon. He firmly believed that the scroll had worked, so he immediately reminded Duanmu Rong and told her that the change of luck had been successful.

Duanmu Rong opened her eyes with joy, carefully put away the scroll in her hand, and a smug smile appeared on her face: "Hmph, so what even if your strength has recovered? Duanmu Lan, today is the day you die!" As soon as the words fell, a strong demonic energy floated out of the black jade and rushed towards Su Lan like a gust of wind.

However, facing such a ferocious attack, Su Lan did not choose to dodge. She only saw her right hand gently swung in the air, and an extremely sharp sword instantly appeared out of thin air. With just one sword strike, she easily dispelled the evil spirit without a trace.

Duanmu Rong was so shocked that she was stunned and even stammered: "You...how could you..."

She tried to call for help, but Su Lan calmly put away her sword, slowly walked towards Duanmu Rong, and said in a cold tone: "Remember what you said, I don't want to hear any gossip outside about me committing a crime and being expelled from the Duanmu family. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself." After that, she turned and left, leaving Duanmu Rong sitting there with a terrified look on her face.

Duanmu Lei, who was outside the door, saw Su Lan coming out and was about to stop her from continuing the previous topic, but his body was suddenly hit by a powerful fighting spirit and fell back violently. Duanmu Lei fell heavily to the ground, his heart filled with shock and anger.

If the original owner had not received the Duanmu family's fourteen years of care and support, Su Lan would have drawn her sword long ago. Facing such parents who only cared about their own interests, she really couldn't stand it.

Mrs. Duanmu panicked and helped Duanmu Lei up. She wanted to open her mouth to blame Su Lan, but when she saw Su Lan's cold eyes, she was immediately frightened and dared not say another word. In desperation, Mrs. Duanmu had to turn around and help Duanmu Lei into the room to check on Duanmu Rong.

Inside the room, Duanmu Rong clutched the black jade tightly and asked anxiously, "Sir, are you still here? Duanmu Lan ran away! What should we do?"

"It's okay. When I recover 10% of my magic power, I will make her wish she were dead." The words of Demon Lord Yu finally calmed Duanmu Rong's restless heart.

At this moment, Duanmu Lei and his wife walked in. Duanmu Rong quickly recovered and said to them, "Dad and Mom, the ceremony has been successful. Please inform the elders to remove Duanmu Lan from the family."

Duanmu Lei nodded in agreement. He could no longer hold out hope for that rebellious girl Duanmu Lan. It was time to make a decisive move!

"Host, shouldn't we get rid of the Demon Lord while he's weak?" Tuanzi asked his own question as he watched the host leave without looking back.

"Check the aura values ​​of the male and female protagonists yourself."

"Wow, the male lead's halo is 80%, and the female lead's halo is 70%, and they are still so high!" Tuanzi seemed to understand the host's intention.

"Yes, even without the original owner's luck, the heroine's aura value has only dropped by 30%. So, it seems that we need to get rid of the hero's physical bodies first."

"However, I want to help the original owner find her parents first." Su Lan changed her tone. She could feel the original owner's emotions affecting her. She still had to resolve her obsession before she could complete the main task without distractions.

After Su Lan left the Duanmu family unhindered, she asked Tuanzi to locate the Duanmu Cheng family, the branch that raised the heroine. She picked up her sword and gathered her strength, and in a few breaths she arrived at the Duanmu family's farm outside the imperial city.

Duanmu Cheng lay on the bed, his face pale as a sheet, his breath barely fading. He was so weak that he looked as if he would die at any moment. His wife and daughter stood by the bed, tears streaming down their cheeks as they wept bitterly. Their faces were filled with despair and helplessness.

At this time, Su Lan slowly pushed open the door, her eyes cold and firm. Seeing her come in, Duanmu Cheng's wife and daughter hugged each other tightly in fear, trembling, not daring to look up at her.

"Don't hurt us anymore! Please let us go... cough cough..." Duanmu Cheng raised his head with difficulty and tried hard to sit up, trying to protect his family from harm.

"Tsk, if I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?" Su Lan sneered. She already knew that Duanmu Cheng had his cultivation abolished by the elders of the clan because he stole the identity of a legitimate daughter, and was driven to the manor to linger on.

"You...you are the eldest lady?" Duanmu Cheng widened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes.

Su Lan expressionlessly took out a bottle of diluted spiritual spring water from her space ring and handed it to Duanmu Cheng: "This spiritual water can help heal your wounds, but the prerequisite is that you must tell me the specific process of the baby swap and the whereabouts of my biological parents."

Duanmu Cheng sighed deeply and waved his hand to signal his wife and daughter to go out and wait. When they were the only two left in the room, he began to recount what had happened that year.

Twenty years ago, Duanmu Cheng, with his outstanding talent and unremitting efforts, successfully advanced to the level of Grand Fighter, thus making a name for himself among the family's side branches, and was fortunate to be chosen as the personal guard of Duanmu Lei, who was then the young master of the family.

However, Duanmu Lei was arrogant by nature and could not tolerate his subordinates being stronger than him, so he used elixirs to suppress Duanmu Cheng's fighting spirit level.

Later, Duanmu Lei became interested in Duanmu Cheng's younger sister Duanmu Shu, and insisted on taking her into the mansion as a maid without a formal status.

However, Duanmu Shu resolutely opposed this arrangement and was killed in the process of resistance. This incident deeply touched the bottom line in Duanmu Cheng's heart. He tried to resist and appeal to the elders of the family, but failed to get a fair treatment.

At this time, Duanmu Cheng already had his own family, and in order to protect his family, he had to choose to be patient again.

When Mrs. Duanmu was eight months pregnant, she wanted to go to the temple to pray for the child. So she asked her husband to arrange a team of guards to escort her to the mountain to worship Buddha, and among the guards happened to be Duanmu Cheng.

When they arrived at the temple on the mountain, Mrs. Duanmu met another woman who was also pregnant. A heated argument broke out between the two women, and in their heated debate, they both went into premature labor.

At this critical moment, Duanmu Cheng suddenly remembered his sister, who had passed away two years ago. An impulse surged in his heart, and he decided to take advantage of this opportunity to secretly switch the two children. Although he knew that doing so could have serious consequences, his longing for his sister made him lose his mind.

However, the man with a strong sense of family could not get over it in the end. He stole the replaced Duanmu Rong back from the woman and raised her by his side.

After Mrs. Duanmu returned to the mansion with the child, Duanmu Cheng realized that his behavior might cause trouble. In order to avoid being held accountable, he voluntarily resigned from his post as a guard and returned to his hometown with Duanmu Rong and his wife.

For the next fourteen years, he never treated the real lady unfairly and tried his best to give her the best care and love.

After listening to the story, Su Lan handed over the jade bottle and continued to ask, "That woman is my mother. Is there anything special about her?"

Duanmu Cheng took the spiritual spring water with both hands, lowered his head and tried to recall it before answering, "Her accent doesn't sound like someone from the Xilin Empire, but rather someone from Dongyan. I can't remember anything else."

Su Lan nodded, turned around and walked out of the wooden house, took out a bag of general silver and money from his personal space and gave it to Duanmu Cheng's wife.

The girl, who was less than ten years old, looked up at Su Lan, then quickly lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "Thank you, sister."
