(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

Gu Yunyun was fully aware of the current situation.

However, the Demonic Sect is the Demonic Sect, so naturally it has some methods and tricks that are despised by the righteous sects. Gu Yunyun seized the opportunity, feinted an attack, and lured the opponent to attack her vulnerable points. Taking advantage of his exposed opening, she leaped backward and simultaneously launched several hidden weapons, striking his exposed vital points.

The hidden weapon, imbued with internal force, instantly dissipated the sect leader's strength. However, the incoming sword still pierced straight towards him with incredible speed due to its momentum. Gu Yunyun, in order to seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, was delayed for a moment. Although she tried her best to dodge, she was still cut on the arm.

"Despicable witch!" The Huashan Sect Leader's heart skipped a beat, and he roared angrily. He clearly felt that his internal energy had been temporarily sealed and its circulation hindered after several vital acupoints were struck. He could only watch hatefully as Gu Yunyun and Qi Shaoyu broke through the sword formation and escaped.

The two fled into the dense forest near the valley, and only slowed down when they saw that no one was chasing them.

Gu Yunyun nearly collapsed due to blood loss from her injury. Qi Shaoyu quickly and anxiously supported her.

"How are you? Are you badly injured?"

Gu Yunyun shook her head, her face pale. The news that Qi Shaoyu was still alive and mingling with the demonic cult's enchantress would likely spread quickly, bringing a host of troubles. Gu Yunyun needed to recover quickly, so she splurged on a bottle of nutrient solution and, without bothering to hide it from Qi Shaoyu, gulped it down.

With nearly half left, Gu Yunyun hesitated for a moment before handing the bottle to Qi Shaoyu. "This is a healing and nourishing elixir. You just expended a lot of internal energy and mental strength, so drink some too." Then, realizing she might be offended by what she'd already drunk, she withdrew her hand. "If you don't like it, then..." she said.

"No," Qi Shaoyu grasped her hand as she tried to pull it back, eager to express his feelings, "I don't mind at all, not at all!"

Gu Yunyun's hand was enveloped in his warm, large hand. Seeing the slightly nervous expression on his face, she chuckled and said, "I understand."

Qi Shaoyu realized he had just lost his composure, and coupled with the fact that he had unintentionally touched Gu Yunyun's small hand, he secretly felt pleased. He took the bottle, concealing his emotions, and drank it down in large gulps. However, after swallowing, as he savored the taste, he vaguely remembered drinking it when he was seriously injured and delirious.

He looked at the bottle in his hand with a puzzled expression, guessing that the old doctor might have used the same medicine to save him.

Gu Yunyun looked around and was surprised to find that this was the very place where she had saved Qi Shaoyu. She marveled at this coincidence and sat down in a clean spot. "I sealed the Huashan Sect leader's internal energy; it will take him at least two or three hours to recover. The remaining disciples are no threat; they probably won't be so reckless as to chase after me now. I'll use my internal energy to heal myself; you watch over him for me."

"it is good."

Gu Yunyun's injuries were mainly external. Although some wounds were deep, with the combined effect of nutrient solution and her profound internal strength, she recovered in a short time.

Qi Shaoyu stood aside, keeping watch on the surroundings. Suddenly, there was movement not far away. He immediately stepped in front of Gu Yunyun and drew his sword.

The newcomer parted the bushes, revealing Gongsun Jing. A small bird was perched on her shoulder; it was the same bird she had brought with her when she left the valley to search for Qi Shaoyu.

“Brother Qi…” she walked over quickly.

Qi Shaoyu was subtly impatient, deeply annoyed by Gongsun Jing's deliberate attempt to cause Gu Yunyun to run into the Huashan Sect. However, given that Gongsun Jing had saved him, he didn't show it too much on his face, only remaining cold and devoid of his usual gentleness. "Is there anything else, Miss Gongsun?"

"Brother Qi, don't worry about her. The righteous sects already know you're not dead, and they'll definitely keep hunting you down. Come back to Healing Immortal Valley with me; they won't dare come in to capture you..."

“Yunyun is injured. I can’t abandon her.”

Gongsun Jing gritted her teeth, "Fine, then listen carefully. My third request is that you are not allowed to interfere in her affairs anymore!" Before Qi Shaoyu could object, she added, "It's not like I'm asking you to kill her, just to stop caring about her. She is the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect; plenty of people care about her! My request doesn't mean you have to go against your principles, does it?"

"There's something I've wanted to say for a long time." Gu Yunyun, having finished her internal energy cultivation at some point, stood up and walked towards them. "Just how arrogant are you people from the Immortal Healer Valley?"

"What do you mean?" Gongsun Jing asked in an unfriendly tone.

Gu Yunyun ignored her and turned to Qi Shaoyu, "Previously, I couldn't explain some things because I was trying to conceal my identity. Now that I no longer need to hide my identity, it's time to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Actually, it wasn't Gongsun Jing who saved you back then, it was me."

Gongsun Jing felt as if she had been struck hard on the head. She had always considered herself Qi Shaoyu's savior, and had almost forgotten that she wasn't the one who had truly saved him. Now, suddenly brought it up, she tensed up and hurriedly interrupted her sharply: "No, she's lying!"

She had wondered who had saved Qi Shaoyu—could it be this demonic witch from the cult? But in the original story, the two of them had no connection whatsoever! Gongsun Jing was momentarily flustered and unable to think calmly. Especially when she met Qi Shaoyu's shocked and suspicious gaze, Gongsun Jing felt her heart pounding.

"No, no... It really was me who saved you. I met you when I left the valley with my two senior brothers that day, and I brought you back. If you don't believe me, you can ask my senior brothers. So many people in the Medicine Immortal Valley know about it!" She then turned to Gu Yunyun, her voice sharp and stern, "What proof do you have?"

Gu Yunyun remained calm and composed, her tone gentle, "This is the very place where you collapsed from your serious injuries, do you remember?"

Hearing Gu Yunyun say this, Qi Shaoyu finally noticed that the place looked familiar. "Is it really you...?" Actually, Qi Shaoyu had been vaguely wondering about this place for a while, but now that Gu Yunyun said it, he suddenly had a sense of "aha!"

"How can this be considered evidence?!"

"That day, after I fed you the elixir and circulated my internal energy to heal your wounds, I went to find a water source nearby to clean your wounds. When I returned a moment later, you were gone. I guessed that you had probably been rescued by the people of the Immortal Healer Valley, so I secretly sneaked into the Immortal Healer Valley to look for you."

Gu Yunyun was still furious when she thought about how he was treated in the Valley of the Immortal Healer. "I found you in a side room, and no one even treated your wounds. They just left you there to fend for yourself!"

She was furious, all traces of the aloofness and detachment she usually displayed as a saintess of the demonic sect completely gone. "If you didn't want to be treated, why did you take me away?! Now I have to sneak in to take care of you. What if I couldn't find you? Wouldn't your injury have been delayed?!"

Qi Shaoyu found her extremely cute when he saw her angry with him.

"You're talking nonsense! I clearly asked my senior brothers to take care of him, how could no one be looking after him..." Gongsun Jing suddenly remembered that she had lied to Qi Shaoyu that she had taken care of him all night, and now she stammered, not knowing how to explain herself.

Qi Shaoyu recalled the red-clad woman he had vaguely seen taking care of him, and a knowing look appeared on his face. He looked at Gu Yunyun with a helpless yet tender gaze, "You really should have told me sooner." He then said to Gongsun Jing, "No matter what, you did take me in after all. Thank you. You... take care of yourself."

Gongsun Jing's lie had been exposed, and her face flushed red with embarrassment. But the couple in front of her were smiling at each other, not sparing her a single glance, showing no interest in her predicament, which only made her feel more ashamed and angry.

The unspoken understanding and affection that surrounded them left her no room to maneuver. Gongsun Jing had never felt so ashamed and indignant; she felt like a complete clown.

Gongsun Jing couldn't help but sob angrily. Not wanting to stay there any longer and only cause more embarrassment, she ran away crying.

"Do you trust me?" Gu Yunyun asked him softly.

"I believe you." Qi Shaoyu said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I've always felt that the fragrance on you is somewhat familiar. I thought it was just my imagination, but it turns out I really have smelled it before. It wasn't a dream... And the elixir you just gave me, I remember the taste. When I was in a daze, someone fed me this."

"You're really stupid. It's one thing to not be able to tell who saved you, but she asked you to agree to three requests, and you just agreed? It really makes me angry."

"That's not it... Okay, it's all my fault. I haven't properly thanked you yet."

Gu Yunyun teased, "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank them for having such a handsome face, which made both Gongsun Jing and me compete to save you and be your saviors."

"What's so great about being my savior?" Qi Shaoyu laughed. "I have nothing of value, so why not repay me with your body?"

After they finished speaking, they both felt a little shy.

Gu Yunyun coughed twice to cover it up, "Next, I'll go with you to find out the real culprit."

"It's too dangerous for me to be with you..."

"Wouldn't it be even more dangerous for you to be alone? Don't refuse, I'm sticking with you! Besides, I'm not a saintess for nothing. I can mobilize people in the church to help with the investigation. It's much more efficient than the two of us going it alone."

Qi Shaoyu was deeply moved by her sincerity and found it hard to resist the suggestion of spending time with her, so he stopped refusing and said, "Then we must first disguise ourselves."

"Ah."

Qi Shaoyu suddenly remembered, "Speaking of which, is Gu Yunyun your real name?"

Gu Yunyun thought for a moment and answered carefully, "None of the Holy Maidens in our sect have their own names. Because they live on Muyun Peak, they are named after clouds. Just like the Left and Right Envoys, they are named after frost and moon. However, I don't think these are real names. Just call me Yunyun. I like it when you call me that."

The two walked hand in hand, and finally arrived at a village at dusk, where some farmhouses were scattered sparsely.

They crept up to a farmhouse, and as soon as they climbed into the yard, the large dog tied up there started barking. Gu Yunyun, feeling guilty for her misdeeds, couldn't wait to pick up a small pebble and used her internal energy to knock the big yellow dog unconscious.

Qi Shaoyu found it quite amusing. If those martial arts practitioners knew that such profound internal strength and exquisite techniques were being used to acupuncture a dog, they would surely be furious enough to vomit blood.

The dog's barking startled an elderly couple inside the house. The old woman said, "Old man, go and see what's going on outside."

Gu Yunyun bristled and quickly meowed like a cat. After meowing, she remembered there was someone next to her, her cheeks flushed slightly as she stole a glance at him. Sure enough, she saw Qi Shaoyu turn his head away, trying hard to suppress a laugh.

Then the old man said nonchalantly, "It's just a stray cat."

The old woman suddenly remembered something and laughed. "When you were young, you sneaked into my yard in the middle of the night, startled the dogs, and tried to meow like a cat. But you didn't quite imitate it; it sounded more like a wild fox trying to meow at the top of its lungs, hahaha..."

The old man was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "Why bring up these old stories again!"

The old woman continued with a laugh, "I was so worried that my parents would realize something was wrong."

The old man seemed to be recalling his youth, his voice filled with nostalgia and a touch of pride, "Our eldest son was conceived that very night. Back then, I was very robust, and it happened in one go..."

The old woman laughed and spat at him, "You old lecher!"

Qi Shaoyu and Gu Yunyun squatted at the base of the wall, eavesdropping on the elderly couple's reminiscences of their secret rendezvous in their youth. They couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and after exchanging a glance, they quickly looked away.
