The Villainous Supporting Character Ended Up with the Female Lead - Chapter 15

The System couldn’t fathom Yun Weiyan’s intentions. Any fool would know to flee immediately in this situation. Facing a Late-Stage Mahayana cultivator with only the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul, Yun Weiyan stood virtually no chance of victory.

Yet, defying the System’s warnings, she remained rooted to the spot, passively awaiting the female lead’s arrival to kill her.

Has she truly been driven mad by the Heavenly Dao’s Violet Thunder? the System wondered, bewildered. Surely Yun Weiyan wouldn’t actively court death before ascending. Let her be I can’t control her anyway.

Just now— Yun Hanmian frowned slightly, her expression still cold and detached. It sounded like someone was calling you.

The sword’s blade sank deeper into Yun Weiyan’s flesh.

Terrified by the female lead’s words, the System cowered within Yun Weiyan’s consciousness, trembling and daring not to make another sound.

Ah, that was me. I was calling you in my mind, Yun Weiyan replied with a nonchalant smile, lightly pinching the delicate flesh at her waist through her robes.

Seizing the moment Yun Hanmian’s anger flared, she immediately activated the Love Gu within her body.

With a clang, the Jade Rainbow Sword—renowned throughout the Cultivation World—clattered to the ground at their feet.

Yun Weiyan slowly rose, savoring the rare sight before her with satisfaction.

Yun Hanmian’s limbs went limp, her fingers too weak to grip the sword in her palm. As she stumbled backward, Yun Weiyan caught her in her arms.

The Love Gu relentlessly eroded her rationality, sending a tingling numbness through her body. A sudden, unfamiliar wave of affection surged through her heart.

You—!

Shh.

Warm fingertips gently pressed against Yun Hanmian’s lips, finally cracking the icy composure of her face with a flicker of panic and anger.

Sect Leader Yun, Sister Yun, my dear sister, don’t be angry.

Yun Weiyan casually twirled a few strands of Yun Hanmian’s dark hair, unable to conceal the triumphant smile on her face. After centuries of patient waiting, this day had finally arrived. How could she not rejoice?

This was the Cultivation World’s unparalleled Primordial Chaos Spirit Body!

Her arms tightened instinctively around the soft, fragrant warmth in her embrace, her eyes burning with unrestrained ambition.

[ Is that the Love Gu?  the System asked Yun Weiyan, risking discovery by the female lead.

Hmm, yes and no.

The bamboo forest fell silent, the distant murmur of flowing water and the rustle of wind through the leaves the only sounds.

Yun Weiyan lowered her gaze, studying Yun Hanmian’s tormented state under the influence of the Gu worm. Her face was flushed, her eyes glazed over, and her rosy lips parted and closed as if she were trying to say something to Yun Weiyan.

You were born the esteemed heir of the Yun Clan, destined for greatness. As for me, I’m just an orphaned girl you took in on a whim of kindness. We were never meant to walk the same path, and I have no desire to compete with you.

Yun Hanmian’s strained rationality had long since crumbled, overwhelmed by a tidal wave of affection that flooded her mind. Her eyes lost their clarity, replaced by a thick, lustful haze.

I want…

I want to kiss the person before me so badly…

Yun Hanmian couldn’t make out a word Yun Weiyan was saying. She felt like a traveler lost in a vast, arid desert, desperately thirsty, having forgotten her Shizun’s commands.

She could only stare blankly at Yun Weiyan, pleading with her beloved to generously grant her endless affection.

But fate is cruel. Ever since I learned you possessed the Primordial Chaos Spirit Body, I’ve coveted you relentlessly.

Yun Weiyan’s nostrils flared slightly as she leaned closer to the delirious Yun Hanmian, her lips pressed tightly together, forcibly suppressing the impulse threatening to break free from her control.

Though the Primordial Chaos Spirit Body seemed within reach, Yun Hanmian knew she had to proceed with utmost caution, allowing no room for error.

Years ago, I broke a rib to refine the Love Gu, then fed the Gu worm my heart’s bl00d day and night. You’ve been poisoned by the Gu for over four centuries. When you killed me back then, the Gu worm must have gone berserk. Now—

Suddenly, Yun Hanmian straightened up and pressed a kiss to Yun Weiyan’s smooth neck, her soft lips clinging tightly to the delicate skin.

[ Host!  the System exclaimed instinctively, sensing the female lead’s abnormal behavior.

Now that I’ve returned to the Nascent Soul stage and have the Love Gu in hand, with only the Transformation God stage separating us, what makes you think you can kill me, Yun Hanmian?

Spiritual power surged rapidly within Yun Weiyan’s dantian. She gripped Yun Hanmian’s chin, their eyes locking, gazes overlapping.

Yun Weiyan gazed at Yun Hanmian with tender affection, coaxing her gently

Just say you’re willing to offer me the Spirit Body, and I’ll let you do anything you want to me.

These words, brimming with suggestive possibilities, deeply stirred Yun Hanmian.

Could she gain Yun Weiyan’s love with just a single sentence? It sounded like an incredibly favorable bargain.

But her muddled mind couldn’t make a clear judgment.

Yun Hanmian nodded woodenly, her eyes fixed on Yun Weiyan’s encouraging gaze. She stammered, I… I’m wi-willing…

Yun Weiyan! Have you lost your mind?!

A delicate yet sharp voice cut through her unfinished words. With a wave of her hand, the speaker knocked Yun Hanmian unconscious with a swirl of dark mist and forcibly dragged her from Yun Weiyan’s embrace.

Vast spiritual power enveloped Yun Hanmian, suspending her in mid-air. The woman glared angrily at Yun Weiyan before forming a hand seal, casting a spell to create an isolating barrier around Yun Hanmian.

Have you forgotten what I told you just days ago?!

The woman, clad in a hooded black cloak, strode fiercely toward Yun Weiyan, her teeth clenched. Seizing her spirit body isn’t urgent! You’re only at the Nascent Soul stage. If you attract the attention of those behind her, neither of us will survive! Utter foolishness!

Yi’an, you’re the one who’s lost her senses! Yun Weiyan retorted, crossing her arms and raising her voice. I’ve already activated the Love Gu. Once she says she’s willing, I can use the Gu worms to continuously drain her spiritual power and forge myself into a second Primordial Chaos Spirit Body!

Yi’an pushed back her hood, revealing a cascade of lustrous white hair that flowed down to her waist. Yun Weiyan lifted her gaze to meet the eyes of her companion, with whom she had weathered centuries of trials and tribulations.

With her captivating beauty and peerless grace, she was undoubtedly one of the most stunning women in the entire Cultivation World.

Yi’an sighed, her voice tinged with resignation. Weiyan, I understand your intentions, but we’re in the open while our enemy lurks in the shadows. Yun Hanmian has a powerful backer—their cultivation is at least in the late Tribulation Crossing stage, possibly even an Ascended Immortal.

Yun Weiyan fell silent, her expression darkening.

A few days after Yun Weiyan broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, Yi’an had suddenly appeared beside her, sharply warning her to refrain from targeting Yun Hanmian’s spirit body for the time being.

Having secretly observed Yun Hanmian for years, Yun Weiyan had long suspected that a powerful mentor was guiding her.

Though she didn’t know the identity of this great cultivator, she knew they had been safeguarding Yun Hanmian’s cultivation all along.

Given Yun Hanmian’s appearance in Anyang City, it was clear that this great cultivator now knew about the Love Gu.

However, they likely didn’t fully understand its nature.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have simply ordered Yun Hanmian to kill her.

Sowing the Love Gu in Yun Hanmian while evading her backer’s notice had been a stroke of luck.

Now reborn into the world, Yun Weiyan remained bound by the Twin-Petaled Biluo Orchid. Even after successfully reaching the Nascent Soul stage, her path of cultivation remained fraught with obstacles.

The most vexing of these was her current physical constitution.

For plants to transform into human form, the Heavenly Dao imposed harsh conditions. Moreover, they could never fully escape their innate botanical instincts.

These instincts, such as the need to bask in sunlight or root themselves in soil to absorb moisture, often flared up, leaving Yun Weiyan restless and desperate to replace Yun Hanmian’s Primordial Chaos Spirit Body.

Seeing Yun Weiyan’s expression soften, Yi’an retrieved a yellow talisman from her Storage Ring and pressed it into her palm.

What’s this?

Something to keep you alive. In case someone tries to kill you.

Yun Weiyan carefully stowed the talisman away and lowered her head to thank Yi’an. They had known each other for over two centuries. Initially, Yun Weiyan had suspected Yi’an’s motives for approaching her.

But back then, Yun Weiyan hadn’t yet hardened her heart to its current iron-like state. Through repeated interactions, they had become close friends.

Yi’an’s whereabouts remained elusive, especially after Yun Weiyan took Tao Li as her disciple. They had barely seen each other since.

It wasn’t until the Lantern Festival that Yun Weiyan recognized her at a glance.

Yun Weiyan had initially been quite surprised. After all, Yi’an was a fellow Demonic Cultivator, though her reputation didn’t rival Yun Weiyan’s. Yi’an had secretly orchestrated numerous schemes to sow discord among the six major sects.

Yi’an had never mentioned her past, and Yun Weiyan naturally refrained from asking.

The two Demonic Cultivators occasionally assisted each other, each demanding compensation in return.

Yun Weiyan and the System both considered this arrangement perfectly reasonable.

Yi’an!!!

The System went wild in Yun Weiyan’s consciousness, cheering for Yi’an with such intense electronic noise that it nearly deafened her.

Long time no see, Yi’an! You’ve grown even more beautiful

The System abandoned its usual demeanor, softening its voice and spinning in place with joy.

Weiyan.

Her voice is still as melodious and captivating as ever

Yun Weiyan forced a stiff smile, silently cursing the System before mentally blocking it out.

Yi’an caught a glimpse of Yun Weiyan’s fleeting expression and mistakenly assumed their long separation had strained their friendship, leaving her feeling a pang of emptiness.

Last time in Anyang City, I helped you. Now I’ve come to collect the compensation you owe me. Do you still acknowledge this debt?

Yun Weiyan You know I’ve always honored my word. Why bother asking?

Yi’an fell silent, bending down to retrieve the sword she had discarded on the ground. A beauty like jade, a sword like a rainbow, she murmured, stroking the dried bloodstains on the blade. Sect Leader Yun’s Jade Rainbow Sword truly lives up to its name.

She paced to the edge of the barrier, her fingers tracing the sword’s hilt.

Yun Hanmian’s poison had worn off, but her eyes remained tightly shut, clearly unconscious.

Yun Weiyan stood to Yi’an’s left, gazing at Yun Hanmian’s ethereal beauty for a moment before nudging her old friend’s arm with her elbow.

Since you won’t let me harm her, what now? Send her back to the Yun Clan? That’s practically walking into a trap.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.

Yun Weiyan and Yi’an exchanged a knowing glance, speaking in unison Imprison Yun Hanmian and force her to retreat.

The words hung in the air, followed by a shared, silent laugh.

Yi’an thrust the Jade Rainbow Sword into the ground three inches beyond the barrier, forming a hand seal and signaling Yun Weiyan with a glance.

Yun Weiyan immediately understood. Channeling her spiritual power into a brush, she collaborated with Yi’an’s spell, sweeping graceful strokes across the air.

Instantly, countless tendrils of black mist enveloped the barrier containing Yun Hanmian.
