(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

Gu Yunyun smelled wonderful, and the food on the table smelled delicious—all flavors that Mo Ze liked. Yet, he suddenly felt a strange unease. What was it that bothered him? Mo Ze stared at Gu Yunyun, lost in thought.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?" Gu Yunyun picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of dried tofu.

Mo Ze looked at her without saying a word, then suddenly stepped forward, hugged her head, and rubbed it for a while.

"Huh? Hey hey hey!! What?!" She was so startled that she dropped her dried bean curd!

Finally, Mo Ze let go, and Gu Yunyun, with her messy hair and sticking-out ahoge, looked completely bewildered.

Mo Ze sniffed again. Gu Yunyun had taken a shower and changed clothes, so the scent of him that she had picked up from wearing his clothes all day was almost gone, but now it was back after he rubbed her.

Mo Ze finally felt relieved and sat down to eat.

Holding her chopsticks, Gu Yunyun tearfully and angrily complained to the system, "Teenagers in puberty are so difficult! So difficult!"

Because in addition to making money, they also needed to spread the name of the Moze Dragon God and collect faith, they couldn't keep selling wild goods to make money. They traveled between small towns, helping people get rid of the evil spirits and demons. They didn't charge the poor a penny, but they asked the wealthy to donate incense money. Gradually, they also built up some reputation for the Dragon God Temple.

But Mo Ze was still not very patient with dealing with mortals, let alone socializing. He stood there with a sour face, looking like he was there to cause trouble.

Therefore, in the end, they had the merman Lan transform into a snow-white Taoist robe, holding a floating vessel, to play the role of a profound hermit and the abbot of the Dragon God Temple. And it must be said, when Lan didn't speak, just standing there quietly, his whole aura of immortality was practically overflowing. He was quite convincing as an immortal, which made it easier for them to gain the trust of the people.

Mo Ze transformed into a miniature black dragon, coiling around Gu Yunyun's wrist. At first glance, it resembled a beautifully carved black jade bracelet.

"I invited you here today, Immortal Master, because of the monster that has recently appeared in town," said a slightly plump middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes, his face contorted with worry, from the mansion of a wealthy merchant in town. "That monster has caused widespread panic, and I'm sure you've heard about it, Immortal Master. I don't know what kind of ghost it is, but it specifically preys on newlyweds, finding them both dead on their wedding night, their deaths gruesome... Do you have any clues about this, Immortal Master?"

Lan, who was being eagerly watched, stared seriously at the whisk in the crook of her arm.

Where did this come from? It's tiring to carry around. Why am I carrying it? Can I throw it away? ...

The wealthy merchant looked at the legendary immortal with his powerful magic. The immortal's usually aloof and detached face was now solemn, and he was deep in thought with his head slightly lowered. Even though the merchant was anxious, he dared not disturb him.

Gu Yunyun was very clear about Lan's true nature, and explained to the wealthy merchant, "The abbot still needs to investigate carefully, but rest assured, our Dragon God Temple has always taken it upon itself to subdue demons and eliminate evil, and we will certainly not sit idly by." Gu Yunyun was also wearing a moon-white Taoist robe and had her hair styled in a Taoist nun's little bun.

"Thank you both, esteemed immortals." The wealthy merchant bowed respectfully, and, still filled with anxiety, couldn't help but grumble to the seemingly kind and gentle young Taoist nun before him, "I only have one daughter, and I've always been reluctant to let her get married; but the men willing to marry into the family aren't exactly reliable. She's been dragging this on until she's an old maid, and just when she finally met a suitable husband, this happened! Sigh..."

"Your daughter will surely have a safe marriage."

"I will have to trouble you again, Immortal Master. Once this is over, I will definitely donate a gilded statue to the Dragon God Temple! And a large sum of money for incense offerings!"

Gu Yunyun was overjoyed and rubbed the ink ribbon wrapped around her wrist with one finger, meaning, "Look, your statue will be here soon! There will be a new Taoist temple too! And a constant stream of worshippers!"

Mo Ze had no mind to think about any idols; his entire attention was occupied by the fact that he was surrounded by the fragrance of a young girl and that a tender, white finger was stroking his body.

"Thank you in advance."

Once back at the inn, Mo Ze deactivated the miniature bracelet. Lan Hua, having stood for so long, felt tired and went back to her room to sleep.

Do you know what kind of thing is causing harm in this town?

"They're nothing more than insignificant nobodys. Since the spiritual energy has gradually faded, evil spirits and monsters that follow unorthodox methods have become active in the human world."

Hearing Mo Ze say that, Gu Yunyun felt relieved.

"Can you find it?"

"Isn't it said that it only appears on the wedding night of newlyweds in town? We'll just wait for it to walk right into our trap."

However, due to a series of murders of newlyweds in the town, there hadn't been any happy occasions for a long time. After all, no one wanted a joyous occasion to turn into a funeral the next day. In such a special time, Gu Yunyun had no choice but to personally put on a show for that thing.

So Gu Yunyun put on her wedding dress once again and dressed up as the bride, while Mo Ze played the groom. The wealthy businessman provided the manpower and venue to help them decorate their "new house".

Originally, Gu Yunyun planned to have Lan play the groom, but Mo Ze firmly objected, saying he was afraid the merfolk would make a mistake due to their poor memory. So Gu Yunyun explained to the wealthy merchant that Mo Ze was the senior disciple of the Taoist temple and had come to help.

Upon hearing this, Mo Ze realized that the mermaid was the abbot and he was the senior disciple, which put him at a disadvantage. Just as he was about to retort, he saw Gu Yunyun link her arm with his, look up at him with her big, watery eyes, and call out to him affectionately in a soft, sweet voice, "Senior Brother~~" while gently shaking his arm.

Mo Ze felt a rush of heat to his head, and his face flushed red. He no longer had the energy to argue.

"Cough... This pulling and tugging is improper!" But he didn't try to pry Gu Yunyun apart at all.

Gu Yunyun secretly smiled at his familiar arrogant expression.

As night fell, Gu Yunyun and Mo Ze sat on the wedding bed in their newly decorated bridal chamber. The candlelight flickered, casting a warm yellow glow that created an intimate and romantic atmosphere.

Mo Ze suddenly became a little nervous.

Ever since he developed a strong aversion to Gu Yunyun and Lan pretending to be a young couple, he has vaguely figured out what's going on with his strange behavior these past few days.

Now he and Yunyun were both dressed in their wedding attire, and there were only the two of them in the bridal chamber. They were sitting on the same bed... Mo Ze suddenly felt a little thirsty.

Gu Yunyun sat there for a while, then asked doubtfully, "Will it really come? How much longer do we have to wait?"

Mo Ze's Adam's apple bobbed. "Perhaps... it doesn't believe us because our acting isn't quite convincing enough."

"What should I do?"

Mo Ze didn't speak, but nervously and tentatively touched Gu Yunyun's fingertips, which were resting on the mattress.

Gu Yunyun looked at him with some surprise.

"...If it comes later and sees something suspicious, it will definitely run away immediately, then all our efforts will have been in vain."

"You mean... you pretend to be affectionate to lure him out?"

"……Um."
