(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

As night fell, Mo Ze's spiritual energy was exhausted, but Gu Yunyun still did not wake up.

The night breeze was slightly cool. He remembered how Gu Yunyun had been shivering in the cave. He took off his robe and wrapped it around Gu Yunyun, pulling her into his arms. He leaned against the tree trunk, gazing blankly at the twinkling starry sky, lost in thought.

Gu Yunyun's soul rested in the recovery pod for a day before being quietly returned to her body by the system. Her consciousness, now in a different place, remained oblivious and continued to sleep soundly in a warm embrace.

As time passed, the morning star rose and then faded. As the first rays of dawn filtered through the dense branches, the clear chirping of birds gradually rose and fell in the forest, and the entire mountain forest slowly awoke.

Gu Yunyun slept soundly for a long time, feeling as if every cell in her body had been soaked in a hot spring, extremely comfortable.

She stretched slightly with her eyes closed, then opened her misty eyes. It was already quite bright. Gu Yunyun squinted to adjust to the light for a moment, and as soon as her vision cleared, she met a pair of light brown eyes, which startled her so much that her half-finished yawn vanished.

"...Mo Ze?"

His eyes were different from the golden beastly pupils in the cave; they now appeared as ordinary light brown human eyes, a color somewhat like honey, making him look like a handsome human boy. Although he still possessed unruly and rugged features, he had softened a bit.

Mo Ze looked slightly haggard. "Hmm, you're finally awake." His voice was much gentler than it had been in the cave.

"Did I sleep for a long time?" Gu Yunyun was still a little confused. "Ah, you were the one who rescued me later, right?"

“You’ve been asleep for a long time.” Mo Ze breathed a sigh of relief. “I should say, you’re the one who rescued me.”

Gu Yunyun realized she was lying in Mo Ze's arms and tried to get up.

Mo Ze helped her sit up. "How are you feeling now?"

Gu Yunyun paused, suddenly remembering she needed to feign weakness, and said softly, "Ah... I feel completely powerless..."

Before she could finish speaking, as she sat up, she grabbed a solid protrusion on the tree trunk with her hand and snapped it off with a crack.

Gu Yunyun: ...!! What's going on?!

The system's voice, laced with barely suppressed laughter, echoed in her mind: "While you were unconscious, Mo Ze continuously nourished your body with spiritual energy. The meridians of this body were cleansed by the spiritual energy, opening up the channels and purifying impurities within you. Now, your physical attributes are already extraordinary among humans. Now, you, the mighty female warrior, can break a boulder with your chest and ride a horse on your arm..."

"Alright, you can shut up now..."

Gu Yunyun awkwardly and quietly put her hands behind her back.

However, Mo Ze didn't notice this incredibly ironic scene. In his view, crushing a piece of wood was nothing serious, and given his lack of common sense about normal human girls, he didn't see anything wrong with it. He was only worried about Gu Yunyun's health and didn't doubt her words at all.

Mo Ze frowned and said in a deep voice, "Take good care of yourself during this time." He thought for a moment, "Eat more good food to nourish yourself."

"Mmm-hmm." Gu Yunyun nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go hunt a few animals first." Mo Ze stood up, looked down and saw Gu Yunyun's expectant look. He then remembered that it seemed unsafe for a weak human female to be alone in the mountains, so he didn't feel comfortable leaving her here alone.

Mo Ze frowned even more deeply. After thinking for a moment, he decided to call for help to protect Gu Yunyun.

The dragon is born with the ability to command aquatic creatures; any aquatic spirit whose cultivation is below its level will obey. But what kind of spirit should it summon?

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Gu Yunyun, who seemed timid, and decided to find someone who could transform into a human and be good-looking, so as not to frighten this timid little human girl.

When it comes to good looks, merfolk are renowned among the aquatic race. However, it seems an elder I met once told me not to hire merfolk for favors, because they have poor memories and are prone to making mistakes. But to Mo Ze, this is no big deal; looking after a mortal doesn't require a particularly good memory.

So Moze sent out a signal, summoning the merfolk within ten miles of the river basin. Based on the merfolk's response, he selected a subordinate to handle the task.

After emerging from the cave, Mo Ze sensed that, for some reason, the spiritual energy in the world was much thinner than it had been a hundred years ago. Perhaps for this reason, there were far fewer spirits taking human form than before; within a vast expanse of water spanning ten miles, only one response signal was received. He immediately summoned the only merman within this area.

The mermaids swam very fast and arrived in no time.

Gu Yunyun squatted by the river and waited. She saw a blue figure swimming towards her in the water. She was very curious about what the mermaid looked like, so she unconsciously stretched her neck to get a clear look.

The mermaid swam to the riverbank, emerging from the water, her exquisite face slowly rising above the surface. Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her features were refined and handsome. If the black dragon was like a raging fire, the mermaid was like the flowing water, exuding a melancholy and otherworldly aura. Her robe, woven from mermaid gauze, remained dry in the water, ethereal and graceful, her blue fishtail swaying gently in the water.

"It's just as beautiful as the legends say," Gu Yunyun whispered in Mo Ze's ear.

Seeing that Gu Yunyun wasn't afraid, he felt relieved.

"You stay here and look after her for me, and wait for me to come back."

The handsome merman said slowly, "Yes, sir." His voice was clear and gentle, perfectly matching his beautiful appearance.

Mo Ze looked at Gu Yunyun and said, "Wait here for me for a while. I'll be back soon."

"Ok!"

Mo Ze went off hunting without worry. Gu Yunyun curiously moved closer to the merman. "My name is Meng Yun, you can call me Yunyun. What's your name?"

The merman's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her gaze before calmly looking up at Gu Yunyun. "My name is Lan."

Gu Yunyun excitedly whispered to the system in her mind, "Wow, was he shy when he looked down just now? So cute!"

The system, which was browsing through the data on merfolk in this world, gave her a pitying look. "I think you're probably overthinking it."

"Ok?"

"In this world, there's a joke among the demon race: it's said that Heaven asked the merfolk to choose a gift, whether they wanted beauty or a good memory?"

"and then?"

"Then the merman forgot what he had chosen."

"...Uh, merfolk don't have very good memories?"

"It's very bad." The system adjusted its glasses, puffing on its pipe like a detective. "Do you remember what question you asked him before he looked down?"

"...I asked him what his name was."

"He was looking down at his own tail just now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunyun's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the mermaid's tail, blue... blue...

"...No way?" Gu Yunyun was skeptical. "You can't even remember your own name? You need to look at the tail color to remind yourself? That's too much..."

Before Gu Yunyun could finish speaking, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the merman Lan shivered. His blank gaze refocused, and he saw Gu Yunyun not far away. "Huh? Who are you?" He looked around in confusion. "How did I get here?"

Gu Yunyun: …………
