The male supporting character was actually myself.

The yard was immediately filled with a strong stench, which forced the fluffy little ball to jump to the treetops for refuge.

"Do you think it's easy for us to get this little bit of meat? You just flipped the plate over like that. We have nothing else to eat tonight, so we'll go hungry!" Xia Yu, bundled up tightly, came over and cleaned up the mess on the floor.

The others brought in water to wash the floor and opened the windows for ventilation for a long time before the stench completely dissipated.

After spending the night with the window open to let in the northwest wind, Zhang Xiyue's fever worsened, and she curled up on the bed, her face flushed and groaning softly.

After much deliberation, she decided that she had to hold out until Xiao Jiangchen returned, no matter what.

Otherwise, if one were to die from an illness and be reincarnated, the damage to one's soul would be even more severe; and if one were unlucky enough to be reborn into a bad family and drown or die young, wouldn't that be adding insult to injury?

Previously, she was fearless because of her immortal soul, but after the battle at Huai Shu Gou, she realized that the Taoist Lingquan could truly harm her fundamental nature; that it was so difficult for a wounded soul to recover; and that the survival rate of young humans after reincarnation was so low...

As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood. At least I'm still alive after all the stumbles and hardships since my reincarnation.

And once the wound heals, it can eat people!

Xiao Jiangchen is so good to me. He just cares too much about keeping me in his grasp. How could he bear to let me suffer?

The thought that even a powerful military commander would fall at her feet brought a smile to Zhang Xiyue's flushed face.

Humble human beings, lowly mortals, it is your honor to fall in love with me.

Once you've finished your military duties and come back, deal with these four androgynous guys and let me eat them. Then I can forgive you and allow you to stay by my side and do your part.

Once I return to my peak, obtain the body of the Spirit Spring Daoist, become an immortal god, and ascend the throne...

Huh? What do human emperors call themselves again?

"I? Right, I need to practice more so I won't be unaccustomed to it in the future." Zhang Xiyue thought about wonderful things in her daze, and savoring the taste of flesh and blood made her feel even more weak and uncomfortable.

She could only use her meager magical power on herself, allowing her high fever to gradually subside and her breathing to slowly stabilize. In her half-dreaming, half-awake state, she murmured softly, "Meat... I want to eat lots and lots of meat..."

[Task: Starting today, Zhang Xiyue must consume at least two jin (approximately 1 kg) of fresh meat per day for each of her three meals, and the amount of food should be adjusted according to her growth status. Reward: One-time use A-grade item x1]

The sky was just beginning to lighten when the mission refreshed again.

"It seems the female lead isn't interested in dead rat meat." Jiang Chen rolled over and sat up in the warm, comfortable bed, stretching as he prepared to send a new telegram.

Playing word games?

Does a certain department really think the phrase "profound and extensive" is a joke?

So, on a bright and sunny morning, Zhang Xiyue, who was well taken care of by the script team, was given a plate of fresh, steaming hot, and exceptionally plump meat—which Chunhua affectionately called large intestine sashimi.

"Dangdang!"

The plate, along with the unprocessed, raw pork intestines, was thrown out the window.

"Dangdang!"

Around noon, a large plate of fresh pufferfish that had died from fright was thrown out of the window;

"Dangdang!"

That evening, a whole two pounds of fresh chicken butts were thrown out the window...

"The plot can't be straightened out, but they're ruthless when it comes to issuing tasks." The fluffy little thing propped up its chubby cheeks with one paw, frowning as it looked at the task hanging there, which had been refreshed several times and had its wording revised more precisely each time. It gently patted the table with its other little paw. "After so many revisions, they even specified the exact part of the meat. Now even the host with perfect reading comprehension is helpless, right?"

Sigh, it seems the female lead is really going to lose control starting tomorrow!

While the little white cat was sighing and lamenting thousands of miles away, Jiang Chen, who was trapped by heavy snow blocking the mountain, had already sent out the latest telegram.

"I've had enough! These four guys are deliberately trying to torture me!" Zhang Xiyue hadn't eaten for another day and night, and those dishes of food that were either disgusting or highly poisonous had infuriated her.

Unable to obtain nourishment from her flesh and blood, she began to cultivate secretly, allowing her soul to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and condense energy.

In addition, the body, which has been nourished for eighteen years by the immortal soul of a demon, has a much stronger healing ability than an ordinary person, even though it is temporarily unable to grow up.

Despite being schemed against, the wound on her neck was healed by the absorbed energy, and now only a few superficial wounds remain.

Zhang Xiyue decided to hold back and wait until she had accumulated enough energy to completely heal her wounds before stabbing Dongmei to death with a hidden dagger while Dongmei was bandaging her wounds without any awareness of the danger.

If the timing is right and no one else is around, one has enough time to devour human flesh.

Dead meat doesn't have as much energy as live meat, but it's still far better than regular meat!

With sufficient magical power at their disposal, how could three mere mortals, no matter how strong, withstand the shackles of magic?

He devoured the three of them alive, then escaped from the Marshal's Mansion while Xiao Jiangchen was away, hid in Yongning City to feast on his fill, and then paid him a visit. He would surely be greatly surprised at that time.

The thought of Xiao Jiangchen's frustration at not being able to get what she wanted filled her with an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

Zhang Xiyue couldn't wait to see Xiao Jiangchen's stunned expression!

The only problem is that cultivating and condensing energy independently is too difficult, tiring, slow, and you don't know how long you'll have to wait.

"Here's your breakfast for today." Chunhua placed a large plate of finely chopped lean pork on the table. "Eat it while it's hot. The commander-in-chief required detailed, fresh, and high-quality pork belly without any blood or skin. It also had to be cleaned and chopped into small pieces for you. It was really tedious."

We've gone to so much trouble to prepare food for you; if you keep leaving plates out, no one will clean them up for you.

A fresh, energetic atmosphere filled the room.

Zhang Xiyue's eyes lit up instantly as she craved power. She subconsciously swallowed, looking at the plate of meat and then at Chunhua's muscular back as she turned and left. A question formed in her mind.

These few bastards who abuse their power and bully and mistreat me while the commander-in-chief is away, do you think they have any good intentions?

"Gurgle!"

Her empty stomach rumbled involuntarily, and Zhang Xiyue swallowed hard before carefully examining the plate of fresh meat with her hands, as if afraid that something might have been mixed in.

However, after turning everything upside down, they found nothing wrong.

"Could they really be so kind as to give me fresh, non-toxic meat?" She was confused for a moment, worried that the other party might be plotting something bad to harm her.

But the irresistible allure of fresh meat was too much for Zhang Xiyue to resist.

Having eaten all kinds of meat for thousands of years, she, as a demon, could naturally tell at a glance whether something was poisonous or not. After confirming it once, although she was still somewhat doubtful, she still chose to wolf it down.

"Mmm, so full!" A moment later, she rubbed her round, full belly and let out a satisfied burp.

Since entering the Marshal's Mansion, only Xiao Jiangchen has personally fed me enough meat that is so delicious and sweet. The rest of the time I have been starving!

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Zhang Xiyue's eyes.

Ah, spring flowers, summer rain, autumn moon, winter plum blossoms? Before long, you'll all be reunited in my stomach!

"Oh no, oh no, a new plot has already appeared?" The little white cat flipped through the new script with great anxiety, "It's forcing my host to do tasks and provide food. After she's fully recovered from this meal, it's going to kill people and eat them. What am I going to do?"

The host is trapped in another place and can't come back. Although they can pass notes to each other, the auxiliary system, which is taking on an important task for the first time, is still a little flustered.

Before it could even scribble a note asking what to do, it suddenly heard the menacing whimpers of some animal outside.

"Huh? What's that sound..." Zhang Xiyue, who was about to refine her energy after eating and drinking her fill, also heard some noise. Before she could stand up and take a closer look, she heard the door being kicked open with a bang.

Then two large, sturdy hunting dogs with glossy fur rushed in. They must have smelled the raw flesh and blood on her body, because they pounced on her and began to tear her apart.

"Help, help me!" How could Zhang Xiyue's small body escape the vicious dog that was much bigger than her?

Before I could even hide, I was tackled to the ground. The impact on the back of my head left me stunned. My neck, face, hands, feet... every exposed part of my body was wracked with excruciating pain.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter followed the commander's orders meticulously. After the dogs were unleashed, they hid nearby and watched carefully, afraid of being bitten to death.

"Help, help me..." Surrounded and bitten by two fierce hunting dogs, she screamed for help, kicking her legs and scratching her hands. Unable to find any suitable tools, she could only try her best to save herself.

The magical power that had been painstakingly accumulated within him erupted with all its might.

Chunhua and the others were some distance away, and they only saw a dazzling light explode. One of the hunting dogs was obviously injured and howled and ran away. Another dog was tearing at the neck of its prey and shaking it desperately. However, after the light flashed, it was also frightened and took a few steps back, letting out a low whimper of threat in its throat. After hesitating for a second, it turned around and ran away as well.

Everything happened in a very short time.

From opening the door and releasing the dogs to Zhang Xiyue casting a spell to save herself, the entire process took only a dozen seconds.

The battle between humans and dogs was so unexpected and intense that even the furry little dog closest to them couldn't react in time.

Only after the two hunting dogs had fled one after the other did it stare blankly at the patches of crimson blood on the ground and the dog hair fluttering in the bright morning sunlight, clutching a pen in its paws. It licked its paws before snapping out of its daze, hurriedly took out the script and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was in update mode again!

"Is that all?" It put away the paper and pen, looked at the female protagonist lying on the ground, more badly injured than before, and wagged its fluffy tail to take a closer look.

The "close the door and unleash the dogs" strategy was clearly very successful.

Having just eaten and drunk her fill and recovered, Zhang Xiyue, before she could even devise a bad plan, was instantly severely injured and returned to square one.

Moreover, because the hound was much faster and more accurate in its bite than that kid Huang Shenglang, a large hole was torn in her neck, damaging her carotid artery, and blood gushed out like it was free.

To survive, she could only cover her wound with one hand and hurriedly swallow the remaining raw meat on the plate to refine it into energy and stop the gushing from her carotid artery. She even adhered to the principle of not wasting anything and licked the blood that spurted out, thinking that she should keep the good stuff in the family.

"Oh dear, what's wrong?" Chunhua pretended to have just noticed something was wrong, flung her handkerchief away, stomped her feet, and began to wail, "Come quick, someone come quick and see what's wrong with this little brat now?"

Unexpectedly, the two dogs were so dangerous that everyone else was startled when they entered the house.

"Lying there motionless, is she dead?"

"Oh my god, if she dies, how are we going to explain this to the commander-in-chief?"

"Don't scare yourself, she's still alive, I saw her breathing!"

Xia Yu stepped forward and nudged Zhang Xiyue with her toe. "Hey, stop pretending to be dead. What's wrong with you? Are you hurting yourself? Don't you want to live anymore?"

I've lived a life full of ups and downs for eighteen years, and just when I finally got my second full meal, I was bitten by a dog.

Lying on the cold ground, her wounds gushing blood, Zhang Xiyue rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth, saying, "If you don't put me on a bed and treat my wounds quickly, I'm really going to die!"

"If I were to die, do you think you could withstand the Commander-in-Chief's wrath?"

Bringing up the title of "Commander" was indeed effective. Xia Yu and Qiu Yue carefully moved her to the bed, and took the opportunity to remove the cotton-padded jacket and trousers that had been torn to shreds by the dog.

Aside from the injury to her neck that had just stopped the major artery, her facial injuries were the most severe.

Especially her left cheek. When the dog pounced on her, Zhang Xiyue's head hit the back of her head and she instinctively turned her head to avoid it, which exposed her left cheek to the dog's mouth. Not only was a piece of flesh torn off, but her thin cheek was also bitten through, and blood was gushing out.

A small piece was also bitten off its nose;

The right hand, which he instinctively raised to block, was covered in blood, making it impossible to tell how badly he was injured.

The cotton-padded coat on his chest was torn, and the blood seeping from more than a dozen scratches extending to his abdomen soaked the cotton quilt.

"Damn it, at this rate, I probably won't live much longer." Dongmei glanced at him, her heart pounding, and whispered, "What do we do? Are we really going to die?"

Who knows if a monster can survive being bitten like that by a dog?

Chunhua forced herself to give the order, "Go get the first-aid kit first, bandage it up, stop the bleeding before we talk about anything else. Anyway, it's still breathing, so it doesn't look like it'll die."

"Meat! Give me some meat!" Zhang Xiyue could feel her life force slowly draining away. Ignoring the pain all over her body, she said in a weak voice, "Give me some more meat to eat, or I'm really going to die!"

The four of them looked at each other and finally agreed.

Qiuyue went to the kitchen and cut off another small piece of meat. "You can eat this first, but it will count towards your lunch. We have a limited amount of meat all day, and you're too small to eat too much."
