He'd rather run than be turned into a cannon fodder for the broken engagement.

When Wang Chen slowly woke up, he was confronted by a black-clad assassin, which startled him so much that he barely managed to choke on his "Holy crap!"

He was meditating at night when a gentle breeze blew by, and before he could react to the strange fragrance, everything went black and he fainted.

After so many years of peace and tranquility, he never expected that he would fall victim to such a trap, that someone would actually dare to make a move against the Huanyue Immortal Sect.

"Who are you?!" The assassin was just a Foundation Establishment stage thief. Wang Chen's first reaction was to raise his hand to subdue the enemy, but he only realized that his hands and feet were bound by the Immortal Binding Rope when he moved!

—It's completely immobile.

LOL!

What villain would ever encounter something like this!

Although the Immortal Binding Rope is not as domineering as the Spirit-Binding Ring, this high-level rope is so powerful that even those without Nascent Soul cultivation should not try to break free!

As he stubbornly exerted his strength, a gleaming blade was suddenly pressed against his neck. "Don't move!"

The assassin asked in a muffled voice, "Who are you?"

Wang Chen coldly shouted, "You little thief, how dare you disturb my Huanyue Immortal Sect! Release me immediately! My grandfather is an elder of the Array Hall; if he finds out I'm missing, he'll definitely come looking for me!"

Leng Huan remained unmoved. He had already found out that Wang Chen was indeed the only grandson of one of the elders of the Array Hall, and was very favored. He was definitely a descendant of immortals. But so what?

—They might even be from the same hometown.

Leng Huan's sword blade hardened: "I'll ask, you answer."

"Are you really Wang Chen?"

Hearing such a strange question, Wang Chen was slightly startled. He composed himself and said, "Of course, why do you ask that?"

Ignoring his question, Leng Huan stared at him, scrutinizing him from head to toe, and then from toe to head, but couldn't see anything wrong. He thought to himself that he was putting on quite a convincing act.

System! System?

Wang Chen mentally called the system urgently, but there was no response; the crappy system had crashed again.

He cursed the scumbag in his heart!

All was quiet except for the rustling of leaves in the night wind.

The difference in appearance between Leng Huan and his figure, concealed by the magical artifact, was enormous. A gust of wind blew by, and Wang Chen only heard the thin, weasel-faced thief in front of him ask in a voice that was neither male nor female:

In which year was the May Fourth Movement held?

He answered instinctively, "1919."

Swah——

In that instant, Wang Chen felt a flash of inspiration.

.

"Fuck!"

Holy crap!!!

Leng Huan's surprise and delight came after confirming the information was correct, while Wang Chen's shock was genuine, his voice rising several octaves.

"Holy crap, there really is someone from my hometown?!"

"Damn system! It was a lie after all!"

Ok? ? ?

"You fucking have a system?!" Leng Huan was shocked.

"Hmm, don't you have a cannon fodder counterattack system?" Wang Chen thought that no matter what, his fellow villager should have such a benefit as a transmigrator.

At this moment, the system in Wang Chen's mind finally came to life: "Host, not all transmigrators have a system."

"Please carefully test this transmigrator to see if he/she poses a threat. If so, please eliminate him/her immediately..."

"Get lost," Wang Chen had already automatically blocked the trash system.

He excitedly asked Leng Huan, "Fellow villager, can you untie me? Are you a college student too?"

Leng Huan then remembered that the person was still bound. Just as she was about to untie the Immortal Binding Rope, she suddenly paused and looked at Wang Chen: "Brother, you are a Golden Core cultivator, and I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator. You're not going to just kill me, are you?"

Wang Chen shook his head vigorously: "What are you thinking? We're all college students. In this damn novel world, we should support each other..."

"Wait! What did you just say?"

"We're all college students..."

"No, the next sentence."

"In this damn world of novels..."

"Yes!" Leng Huan grabbed Wang Chen's collar: "You're saying this is a novel world? So, we've transmigrated into a book?"

Wang Chen's excited mind finally calmed down. Hearing her say that, he realized something was wrong and stared wide-eyed at Leng Huan: "You, you don't know this is a novel world?"

A world of novels?!

Click————

Leng Huan felt as if a giant bolt of lightning had struck the top of his head.

So all that hard work she put into cultivating for years, treating this world as the real world, turned out to be a two-dimensional world?

Everything will unfold according to the predetermined plot; the torrent of the plot is irresistible!

"Grass!"

She tore off Wang Chen, ripped off her mask, revealing her true face, and plopped down on the ground. Staring blankly at Wang Chen, her lips trembling, she asked:

"My current identity is Leng Huanxue. You have a system, so you must have missions and know the plot of the novel. So, what role am I in now?"

Looking at her true appearance, Wang Chen's eyes lit up with realization: "So it really was you that day."

Knowing that she was greatly shocked, Wang Chen generously disregarded the fact that he was still tied up and sympathetically told Leng Huan everything.

-

"Leng Huanxue is the eldest daughter of a prominent family in Beijun. She is arrogant and willful, and quite domineering towards her servants."

"She's the female cannon fodder who broke off her engagement with the male lead. She's incredibly self-destructive later on, constantly causing trouble in front of him. In the end, of course, she becomes cannon fodder on the male lead's path to revenge." Wang Chen spoke with increasing sympathy, looking at Leng Huan and whispering:

"They died quite tragically. The Leng family was wiped out by the male protagonist, and Leng Huanxue was chopped into charcoal...and exterminated."

Leng Huan: "..."

She was stunned for a long time before asking, "So, the male lead is Fu Xun from the Fu family, the one who was jilted at the altar?"

Wang Chen nodded: "Yes. However, the system told me that there was a deviation in the early part of the plot."

Remembering something, he comforted her, "Look, your relationship with the male lead is pretty good now, isn't it? You should be able to avoid the original ending."

Good relationship? With the male lead?

Leng Huan stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Wait! Isn't the male lead Fu Xun? I don't know Fu Xun..."

Wang Chen's expression was strange: "Isn't that junior brother you're so close to the male lead, Fu Xun, the one who's supposed to be with you..."

Leng Huan was confused: "No, he said his name is Yin Xun..."

Wang Chen suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! ...That's right, to avoid trouble, Fu Xun did change his name to Yin Xun in the early background. It's been so long, and he was always Fu Xun later on, I almost forgot. That's right, it's him!"

It's him—it's him—the male lead.

Fu Xun.

A curse-like, demonic sound echoed and lingered in Leng Huan's mind.

Hey---

One day her friend becomes the male lead, and the other becomes cannon fodder—how exciting!

We agreed to cultivate and ascend together, but you turned out to be a dragon-like tyrant.

His mind exploded like fireworks, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. Finally, Leng Huan raised his hand, untied Wang Chen, and took back the Immortal Binding Rope.

Looking at the college student from his hometown in front of him, he knew that he was a mission taker with a system. For Leng Huan, whose world was in chaos, he was a signpost.

Thinking it over, Leng Huanhao extended his hand to hold a meeting ceremony for fellow villagers.

"Hello, my name is Leng Huan, I'm a college student from the South."

Wang Chen grasped her hand with emotion: "Hello, my name is Wang Cheng, I am also a female college student, and I come from the North."

Is she also a female college student?

Leng Huan knew he had misunderstood something, but decided to play along and didn't explain.

Ha ha.

Wang Cheng, a woman, becomes a male villain, while she, a man, becomes a female cannon fodder. Good heavens, this is truly amazing.

Leng Huan suddenly sighed and looked up at the sky: It's not that I can't be a villain.

Pity.

-

Because a sugar pill made his throat feel so sore and he felt unwell all over, Fu Xun simply went to his usual spot in the backyard of Ruyi Pavilion to meditate. Little did he expect that the communication bell would allow him to discover Leng Huan's whereabouts.

The communication bell is a special sensory instrument, consisting of a mother and a daughter bell. It can transmit messages over long distances, while at close range, the mother bell automatically senses the daughter bell.

In the dead of night, someone who was usually timid dared to sneak into the back mountain. Fu Xun followed along and saw from dozens of feet away that Leng Huan actually had a Golden Core cultivator help her kidnap someone.

Fearing being discovered by the Golden Core cultivator, he concealed himself until the late-stage Golden Core cultivator left, at which point he slowly approached.

What was even more unexpected was that the person she kidnapped was Wang Chen. Wang Chen's identity was not simple. Fu Xun was afraid that she would get into trouble. When he saw her draw her sword, he was shocked for a moment. No way!

He wanted to stop her, but the next moment, he paused in his movement of raising his foot.
