The male supporting character was actually myself.

With the Three Realms Guardian Team, organized by the Xiaoyao Sect, powerfully suppressing and establishing a security circle, any cultivator near the sea wanted to contribute to the Bright and Immaculate Array built by the fairies of Jade Maiden Peak in order to get a share of the benefits. Naturally, it was impossible to encounter other cultivators in a small mountain village in the rear.

"Brother Lin, I dared not fly too fast while I was flying with you on my sword. It's already past noon. Are you feeling tired?" Third Dream smiled sweetly and was very considerate. "Why don't we find an inn to rest for a while?"

Lin Xucheng pulled her slender waist into his arms, secretly eager to cultivate with her and exploit her. He nodded and whispered in her ear, "You couldn't use your skills in the jungle earlier. Let's find an inn and I'll make you beg for mercy!"

"Ugh~" She tilted her head, feigning shyness, but inwardly she was overjoyed. "Lin Xucheng, you've finally met your match! Now that you're in my hands, you can forget about escaping."

The little white cat diligently helped her resist the protagonist's halo that made her lose her intelligence, so for the next two days, Lin Xucheng felt like she was trapped in a beautiful yet terrifying dream.

Before each session, they would solemnly vow to practice the technique to replenish yin and yang, but somehow they would quickly become obsessed with comfort and forget everything else.

"Brother Lin, I'm going out to buy you two more sets of clothes. Is there anything else you need?" Third Dream's face was radiant, even more beautiful than when they first met. She leaned against the door and asked, but the other person waved his hand weakly. She then hummed a tune and went downstairs to leave the inn.

Turning the corner to a secluded spot, she took out a communication stone and sent a message to her senior brother Liu.

"So smoothly?" Jiang Chen was watching the progress of the war between the two worlds in the Endless Sea through the magical artifacts at his base when he received the message. He frowned and had a bad feeling.

Lin Xucheng's protagonist aura is so strong, even if he was defeated by Leng Moran, it's impossible for it to drop so drastically.

How could he be fooled by a few sweet words? The little white cat didn't even help much and still managed to quietly defeat the chosen one?

His pre-prepared suppression plan was completely useless; he felt that the protagonist's halo was definitely going to cause more trouble!

“You shouldn’t have left him alone at the inn!” Jiang Chen hurriedly replied, “That’s dangerous. He must not leave your sight until he is completely dead and his soul energy has been drained. Now that we’ve separated, for safety’s sake, don’t go back. Observe him secretly for two days before making any plans.”

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Liu. I know what I'm doing and will handle it well."

When Third Dream saw the message from Senior Brother Liu, she frowned slightly but was somewhat unconcerned. As for Lin Xucheng, that lecherous and ungrateful fellow, she could easily manipulate him with a flick of her finger. What was there to fear?

In just two days, he had used several of his cultivation techniques in turn, which had already pushed him to the point where the Foundation Establishment stage was teetering on the brink of collapse.

With a little more effort, we'll make sure his path collapses and he becomes nothing more than a plaything under her skirt! But before that, we still need to give Lin Xucheng some sweet treats to keep him calm. After all, giving him a reward after a beating is the way to win.

She sent another coquettish message to her fellow disciple, asking for the sect's secret aphrodisiac.

The reason why she was able to control Lin Xucheng so completely was not only due to the enhancements of her cultivation techniques and seductive arts, but also because of the secret aphrodisiac. To ensure success, Third Dream secretly gave Lin Xucheng double the dosage, so that she didn't have much of the monthly ration of the secret medicine left.

Not long after, she received a paper crane from her martial uncle. She put a small bottle of pills into her storage bag, bought some daily necessities and food, and turned back to the inn with her slender waist swaying.

The fluffy ball was dozing off on the table;

In stark contrast to the radiant and energetic Third Dream, Lin Xucheng had lost a lot of weight in just two days. He was weak and listless, with dark circles under his eyes, and was groaning listlessly as he leaned against the bed.

He didn't know what was wrong with him; he was like an addict, completely immersed in the world of pleasure and unable to extricate himself.

"My back and legs ache, this is really hard work..." Lin Xucheng was clearly still not in the mood. He was even thinking about how Meng'er's new position this morning was really good and irresistible. He would do it again when she came back!

He had just closed his eyes to rest and conserve his energy for another three hundred rounds when the halo suddenly burst forth, illuminating the entire room before instantly extinguishing and disappearing.

The little white cat perked up, staring warily at the aura that was struggling to stay afloat, wondering what kind of trouble it was about to cause.

After waiting for a while without any further movement, it tried to read minds but failed and hurriedly sent a message to its host.

"Sure enough, the aura burst likely helped Lin Xucheng break free from Third Dream's brainwashing control!" Jiang Chen immediately sent her a message, telling Third Dream to run as far away as possible and never get close to Lin Xucheng again.

Once the protagonist's halo kicks in, who knows what unexpected things might happen!

After sending the message, Jiang Chen immediately notified the wanted squad to prepare to arrest the fugitive.

Everything happened in a very short time. Third Dream, who hadn't taken Liu Jiangchen's advice seriously, had already returned to the inn's upstairs with food. Just as she sensed the message, she pushed open the door and went inside.

"Senior Brother Liu is far too cowardly. He's just a spineless coward..." She was still underestimating her opponent and disregarded Liu Jiangchen's repeated advice. However, the next second, everything went black and she completely lost consciousness.

Clang!

A communication stone fell to the floor, and a withered hand picked it up just in time to see an unread message.

"Liu Jiangchen? Ha, it really is you!" Lin Xucheng turned around, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at Third Dream, who was being bitten by a demon formed from scarlet aura.

Watching her spiritual energy being drained, and her charming face gradually showing familiar signs of aging, Lin Xucheng chuckled and said, "I didn't even realize it after two days of entanglement. It's actually your ex-lover Zhou Zhixue! And that pretty new face of yours was done by Liu Jiangchen, wasn't it!"

He's really thoughtful of you, changing his appearance and identity, just waiting for this day to manipulate me.

Hahaha!

You had a brilliant plan, but you never expected that I would suddenly wake up and become out of your control, did you?

"To die under my Gluttonous Devouring Technique and witness my greatest trump card before you die is an honor for a trashy woman like you!"

With a fierce determination, he formed hand seals, and the crimson demon in the void swiftly drained the abundant spiritual energy from Third Dream's body. She was completely immobilized and unable to even utter a cry for help. Feeling her vibrant life force being stripped away from her body once again, she had only one thought before she died—Senior Brother Liu was right, I was too careless!

I shouldn't have come back...

Lin Xucheng, even if I fall into demonic ways, I will never let you go!

Chapter Thirty: The Final Chapter (Can Be Slaughtered)

Filled with immense resentment, Zhou Zhixue suddenly sensed a low murmur calling from afar before her death. In a daze, a wisp of black resentment broke free from the mouth of a scarlet, semi-transparent demon and disappeared in an instant without attracting anyone's attention.

"What should I do? Waaaaah~ I can't control the protagonist when he goes crazy!" The fluffy ball was jumping up and down in a panic, but no matter how much it pulled, it couldn't help Third Dream escape the Devouring Technique;

It even tried to transform into an assassin cat to backstab Lin Xucheng.

However, once the opponent unleashed their full power and activated their ultimate aura, the Gluttonous Beast Technique was completely ineffective in getting close.

The little white cat could only watch helplessly as Lin Xucheng devoured and refined the third dream, who was in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. In just a few breaths, he was transformed from a weak and emaciated creature into someone whose aura had risen to the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and he regained his radiant and spirited appearance as a refined scoundrel.

"Meow meow~ This protagonist's halo is so scary. Even though there's not much left, it can still unleash such strong destructive power." The fluffy ball trembled all over, looking timid but not stopping its greedy act of stealing. While Lin Xucheng was refining and absorbing spiritual power, it took the Third Dream's storage bag away.

The cat paws rummaged around inside for a while and found some pills and spirit stones left by Third Dream. In addition, there were also distress bullets specially made by the Hehuan Sect. It took them out, hopped out the window, and crushed them.

"Chirp~ thud!"

A red distress signal shot into the sky, bursting into a cloud of smoke above Tea Fragrance Town.

Upon sensing the distress signal, Lin Xucheng summoned his natal sword and flew away at top speed, disappearing into the horizon. The fluffy dumpling followed behind, hopping around while sending messages to its host, afraid of losing him.

"So the aura burst made him suddenly wake up, and then he didn't even give Zhou Zhixue a chance to explain before swallowing her whole?" Jiang Chen's brows furrowed as he ran his fingers over the communication stone.

This time, the protagonist's halo is so powerful that it's impossible to guard against.

Zhou Zhixue was completely finished, and more importantly, given Lin Xucheng's current status, he felt it was a very difficult situation.

It broke free from the Hehuan Sect's professional control in one burst and even devoured them, skipping the tribulation and directly advancing to the Golden Core Realm. This is so heaven-defying and illogical, who can you reason with?

Jiang Chen even had a vague feeling that even if Leng Moran were to go and intercept them, he would only be able to get completely dominated...

"Master!" Just as he was rubbing his temples, feeling a headache coming on, a crisp voice suddenly came from beside him. Immediately, a girl in a red dress, bearing the mark of the Demon King's headquarters, tore through space and rushed over, bowing deeply. "Disciple Feng Li'er greets Master!"

Jiang Chen: !!!

I almost forgot about her. This girl actually developed a new spiritual root?

Sure enough, Feng Li'er, beaming with delight, immediately showed off her aura and flaunted her alchemist-exclusive spiritual root upon meeting him, "How about it? Does it meet the requirements? I told you the demon race is vast and rich in resources, full of treasures, and even spiritual roots can be refreshed to be brand new!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but facepalm. The strange invasion in front was in full swing; the fire in the backyard was raging and the protagonist's halo was going off uncontrollably; and the female leads from the original plot were all gathered together again. It would be too convenient for the script team to take advantage of the situation.

{{|└(>o<)┘|}}

My head hurts!

"Here'll take a book on alchemy that I wrote and read it carefully. Once the situation with the strange invasion has stabilized and we no longer need a lot of pills, I'll teach you step by step." He handed the book to Feng Li'er and instructed her, "You must stay in the base camp and not run around. Strange creatures are rampant outside and the situation is at a stalemate. Your new spiritual root, which you just acquired as an alchemist, is not good at combat, so be very careful."

Feng Li'er carefully flipped through the book and performed the disciple's salute. "Thank you, Master! I'll go study now and come back to ask you questions when you have time!"

Just as she was about to leave, she remembered something, took a storage bag from her waist, and respectfully presented it, saying, "This is a small token of my father's respect to Master. Please don't find it offensive. Once the war has subsided and I have formally become a disciple, the demon race will offer even more generous gifts!"

Watching the girl in the red dress walk away, Jiang Chen's expression darkened slightly.

Could she become the alchemist the script team is keeping as a backup for the male lead?

Anything is possible until the protagonist's aura completely fades. We must quickly eliminate Lin Xucheng so that the mission world can be completely safe.

But apart from the sect leader who is in charge of the overall situation and cannot leave at will, even Leng Moran, who is the big boss in the plot, may fall. It seems that I can only take action myself!

After all, the new storyline updates are full of perfunctory elements.

Only a simple outline was written—in summary, after Lin Xucheng regained his Golden Core Realm strength, he encountered a group of ambitious individuals. He then successfully used the Gluttonous Devouring Technique to refine and open the storage bag, rewarding and guaranteeing them with numerous precious pills. He led the group to the battlefield and discovered a strange secret, using this opportunity to achieve victory against overwhelming odds and make a name for himself.

Next, he smoothly conquered all the beauties he encountered, becoming a beneficiary in the war against the otherworldly invasion. Then, he turned the tables, falsely accusing and framing others, inciting public outrage and destroying the Xiaoyao Sect and Hehuan Sect. He drained the fortune of the two sects until he absorbed the great fortune of heaven and earth and ascended to become a banished immortal, becoming the Ruthless God Emperor...

"As expected, they're too lazy to even pretend anymore. It's rare to see the script team so blatantly exposing the protagonist's wickedness." Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, took out a teleportation talisman, crushed his figure, and instantly disappeared from the base camp, appearing on the battlefield hundreds of miles away.

"Senior Brother, what brings you here?" Leng Ruoyan sensed his arrival immediately, flew over and gave him a warm hug, reporting, "Your newly developed pill works very well with my cultivation technique. I can replenish everyone's spiritual energy and heal injuries at any time. Although it's not as fast as swallowing a whole pill, it has the advantage of a wide range and long-lasting effect, providing long-term protection for the Three Realms Guardian Team."

Look, the eerie creature was completely overwhelmed and had no chance to fight back. The fairies of Jade Maiden Peak purified it very smoothly!

He lowered his head and gave his fiancée a light kiss on the forehead. "You've worked hard these past few days. I've already prepared all the pills the guard team needs. I have more important things to take care of now, so I'll have to leave the base camp for a while. Please be careful, everything will be alright when I get back."

She was somewhat curious, and stared at her beloved for a while before whispering, "What you're about to do seems to be related to the Dao of Heaven, but I won't ask any more questions. However, this trip might be dangerous, so please take a few more people with you."

As she spoke, Leng Ruoyan took a red string from her neck and put it on him, saying, "If you encounter danger, it will help you! Take care of yourself and don't be reckless..."

With a major battle looming, the young couple didn't have much time for sentimentality, and after a brief moment of tenderness, they said goodbye.

One provides support for numerous cultivators on the front lines of the battlefield;

The other went to an unknown battlefield to kill the chosen one and save the world.

"Host, you're finally here!" Having finally reunited with its host, the fluffy ball pounced on him and rubbed against him. "Lin Xucheng's protagonist aura is almost gone, but he's still not to be underestimated."

It blinked its deep blue eyes, looking terrified, and said, "And those terrifying techniques he cultivates, he devours people whole, leaving not a single hair behind! I strongly suspect that if this continues, he'll rely entirely on his devouring abilities to eat up more than half of the cultivation world to help himself ascend to immortality!"

Is the Devouring Technique that powerful?

Did you take a picture?

"Yes, yes!" The little white cat hurriedly scratched its round belly a few times to find a recording stone, then twitched its ears and said embarrassedly, "That Lin guy didn't give any warning at all, he just suddenly jumped up and killed people."

The cat was terrified. By the time it realized what was happening and started filming, it was too late, so it only managed to capture a small portion of the scene.

Jiang Chen infused his spiritual power to activate the recording stone. He watched as the crimson, semi-transparent aura condensed into the head of a demon, which opened its massive maw and bit down hard on Zhou Zhixue, who was now only half a body and on the verge of death. In no time at all, the demon devoured the living person, leaving not even a handful of ashes behind.

"According to the setting of the mission world, all techniques that violate the laws of nature require a price to be paid. The Taotie Great Technique is so vicious and powerful that even Lin Xucheng, as the chosen one, cannot avoid some damage. I just don't know what he has to pay for each time he uses it." Jiang Chen frowned slightly. The Taotie Great Technique, which was not described much in the original plot, made him very concerned.

This evil skill happens to be in the hands of a chosen one, and it's really hard to deal with without figuring out the specifics.

Jiang Chen took out the communication stone and sent a group message to several big shots to inquire about the Taotie Technique. While waiting for a reply, Jiang Chen asked Rong Tuanzi to continue to investigate Lin Xucheng's situation.

"Huff! Huff!" Without even a map, in order to avoid being discovered and tracked by the Hehuan Sect, Lin Xucheng flew away frantically on his sword until his spiritual energy was almost exhausted before stopping to catch his breath and rest.

"Damn it, that Gluttony Technique is really too domineering. I should have searched Zhou Zhixue's storage bag as soon as I controlled her! Damn it, that greedy guy must have swallowed it whole..." He angrily slammed his fist on the tree trunk, causing many leaves to fall.

After sitting quietly for a long time and seeing that no one was passing by, and sensing no unusual aura nearby, Lin Xucheng cautiously lifted his new clothes and glanced at his chest.

On the fair, bony chest, one could vaguely see the faint red, coalescing head of a demon. Unlike when it used the Gluttonous Technique to devour Zhou Zhixue, the demon on the chest seemed to be blocked by something, showing a look of trying to break free. Other organs were somewhat blurry, but the gaping maw alone was enough to instill fear in anyone who saw it.
