The male supporting character was actually myself.

"What? Where is it?" Jiang Chen, who had been standing outside the window carefully observing the situation, held his breath and pushed the door open. The next second, he saw the fluffy little thing staring into the void and blinking as if it had made up its mind.

"Watch me catch it and show it to the host!" The little white cat, with a sudden burst of confidence, leaped up and pounced on the still-burning will-o'-the-wisp with its short paws.

"Bang!"

The claws pierced through the green will-o'-the-wisp, and the solid fluffy ball fell onto the table, knocking over a teacup and teapot.

The green will-o'-the-wisp seemed a little confused, slowly circling the room twice before flying through the wall and heading outside.

The little white cat, its mind and eyes filled with wonder at the strange phenomenon, took off chasing after it and vanished without a trace. Only its excited shouts drifted on the night breeze through the marshal's mansion, "Host, I'm going to track it down now! We'll talk about it later!"

Jiang Chen: ...

From the moment Zhang Xiyue stopped breathing until he entered the room, everything happened in just a few seconds. He didn't even see what was going on before the little ball of fluff disappeared.

In the messy, smoke-filled room, only two bodies, poisoned to death, remained.

The smoke was toxic, so he cautiously covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in the antidote, opened the doors and windows to let in fresh air, and only went inside to check after a while to make sure there was no danger.

Jiang Chen decided to try this method only after conducting thorough research.

He discovered that in all versions of the story, Zhang Xiyue, as a demon with the characteristics of an immortal soul, could not bring the dead back to life, and was even subject to many restrictions as long as she stayed in a body.

Her magic is mostly used to manipulate others; she rarely uses it on herself in the story.

Therefore, Jiang Chen deduced from the details that the female lead's character setting has quite a few limitations. For example, she cannot forcibly prolong the life of a dying body. This is why she was injured by Lingquan Daoren in Huai Shu Gou. When she was escaping, she forcibly possessed the old body, but could only watch helplessly as the body died of serious illness and was forced to reincarnate.

If she could use her magic to restore and repair her body without restraint, she wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

However, it cannot be ruled out that the script team deliberately created difficulties without considering logic. Jiang Chen made a lot of preparations to prevent this, and wanted to use poison smoke to test whether he could kill Zhang Xiyue. If he could not kill her, he would have to use other means.

Unexpectedly, the attack hit its mark. Zhang Xiyue's body could not withstand the poisonous smoke, and her heart stopped, killing her. Her soul escaped and continued to reincarnate.

"It's good that I can be killed..." Jiang Chen felt relieved at this moment.

First, he anticipated the script team's predictions, and by using the auxiliary system to kill the protagonist without being warned, he found a huge loophole that allowed him to deal with Zhang Xiyue at will.

Secondly, an immortal soul is not invincible; it can be killed once and then crushed countless times by itself, so it is nothing to fear.

Finally, whether it was because the fluffy dumpling awakened a new skill or because of the setting of the mission world, it was able to see the protagonist's soul, which will make tracking it much easier in the future!

Thinking of this, he walked to the table and looked at the messy surface that the little white cat had knocked over.

It's obvious that when the auxiliary system tried to capture the protagonist's soul, it used physical properties to affect the cups and saucers in reality. Why didn't it choose to capture the protagonist in his original state at that moment?

Could it be that Xiaobai, who is usually confused and full of mysteries, suddenly becomes able to handle things without any guidance when it comes to crucial moments?

"Drag these two corpses out, burn them, and then bury them. Starting tomorrow, send people from the other residence. I'm moving back to the Marshal's Mansion." Jiang Chen gave the order, but his heart was full of doubts.

Scenes from the dimly lit room kept flashing through my mind. Was the little white cat meowing and saying the map was on "it" my auxiliary system?

How can I find that map?

The night wind howled, and the moonlight was hazy. He stood in the courtyard, looked up at the dim sky, and frowned. Should he ask that eye for help? How could he establish a connection and communicate with it?

For half a month, everything was quiet and peaceful.

The script hasn't been updated with new plot details, which could be because the cunning script team members deliberately waited for the protagonist to be reincarnated and developed before updating, to prevent the weak protagonist from being tricked in the reincarnation.

Ling Yushan's soul artifacts guarded the Spirit Summoning Cauldron, so they couldn't detect anything amiss.

It will take another two months before the new Lingquan Daoist can successfully integrate; we cannot let our guard down.

The fluffy dumpling would occasionally come back to report on the latest developments of the main character.

Whether it was because the protagonist inhaled too much narcotic oil and it really damaged his brain, or whether the script team was secretly sabotaging him, the protagonist's reincarnation this time was not as quick and smooth as described in the original plot.

It drifted and flew to a wealthy family's house more than 200 miles away from Yongning City. When the little white cat tried everything to stop it to no avail, it crawled into the belly of a concubine and took over the baby's body...

"Host, are you really not going to reconsider?" The fluffy little thing squatted on his shoulder with its hands in its pockets and muttered softly, "Anyway, that poor little baby was already dead when it was possessed, so let's just not let Zhang Xiyue be resurrected!"

"Kill it once, then kill it again. If it tries to run, we'll just keep chasing and killing it. Wouldn't it be easier to suppress it once Daoist Lingquan emerges from seclusion?"

Jiang Chen took out the script that was still being updated and shook it. "If we take action without knowing what will happen next, what if we implicate the pregnant woman?"

Zhang Xiyue's soul possessing the infant's body has already caused one death. Even if the pregnant woman isn't implicated by acting rashly, the soul, before even being born, will die again and continue searching for its next target. If this continues, how many fetuses will be killed by the time Daoist Lingquan emerges from seclusion?

Little white cat: (￣ェ￣;)

Yes, that's right!

One after another, she killed babies, weakening the demon's soul while also taking many innocent lives. What should be done? Just wait for her to impersonate someone else and be reborn?

"Let's wait and see. If the script doesn't update, we'll play it by ear." He put the script away, stroked its fur, and said softly, "Don't be impatient. Anyway, you can track down the exact location of the monster's reincarnation as soon as possible."

The previous plot never mentioned what would happen if a demon were reincarnated. Zhang Xiyue's growth trajectory was only briefly mentioned. What if this reincarnation requires the baby to grow to two or three years old before absorbing more energy to grow rapidly? Wouldn't that give us enough time to slowly plan and seal the demon?

The fluffy little dumpling tilted her head and muttered under her breath, full of distrust, "I don't think the script team will give us that much time. They'll definitely cause trouble!"

Jiang Chen shrugged and smiled helplessly: "But I really can't figure it out. What good would it do for a newborn baby to have the soul of a monster? Even if it has a heart, it doesn't have enough ability to act!"

If Zhang Xiyue were truly born with the ability to deal with adults, why would she have waited eighteen years in this life? She would have already poisoned those around her and grown up to wreak havoc, so she wouldn't need our help at all.

"That's true!" The little white cat stroked its whiskers and squinted its eyes. "Then let's just wait patiently. It looks like it'll be over in the next few days anyway..."

More than 200 miles northeast of Yongning City, on the border of Xiao Jiangchen's fiefdom, there is a bustling and prosperous small town.

The Wu family was a prominent family in the town, living in a luxuriously built courtyard, with hundreds of servants to serve dozens of masters, big and small.

The head of the household, Master Wu, is over forty years old. He has elderly parents in their sixties and seven or eight children who have just come of age. His eldest son, the eldest son of the first wife, is twenty-one years old this year. Due to the times, he has long since married a legal wife and two concubines.

The eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to her own grandson last autumn; the concubine, Li Hong, is also about to give birth, adding to the fourth generation of the Wu family. The whole Wu family has been happy and looking forward to this day.

The young mistress already had a son. Whether the concubine's son was a boy or a girl, he could never surpass the main wife, so there was no infighting. The entire Wu family compound was filled with a peaceful and joyful atmosphere as four generations lived together.

As night fell, Li Hong, the eldest young master's concubine, sat under the lamp after dinner, fiddling with small clothes and shoes, chatting idly with her maid.

"The wet nurse has been found, and we're just waiting for the baby to be born so we can take him in. You can just rest and recover then." The little maid smiled and looked at her high, protruding belly, whispering, "I heard they say that if you recover well, you'll be able to get pregnant again in less than six months!"

Li Hong blushed and glared at her. "Stop talking nonsense, you little brat. Who knows if it's a boy or a girl until it's born? Stop talking about boys all the time. What if you give birth to a girl? Wouldn't that make you a laughingstock?"

"But I've heard that a person's words are the most effective; if you say something enough, it can come true!"

"Keep your voice down, or people will gossip." Li Hong gently stroked her belly, naturally hoping to give birth to a boy. Even though he was born out of wedlock, boys were always more popular than girls.

However, if it were a girl, the young mistress would be more at ease. Girls will eventually get married, and being able to marry into a good family with the support of the Wu family would make life easier than having a boy.

The maternal glow emanating from the pregnant woman made her appear as if she were enveloped in a gentle halo under the lights, and even the smile on her lips was much softer than usual.

However, inside the pelvis, the tiny fetus, which had been curled up with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes. Its overly dark eyes were completely unaffected by the amniotic fluid. It gently touched the umbilical cord with its fingers, and a wicked smile appeared on its wrinkled little face.

"Is it going to be reincarnated again..." The tiny fetus opened its mouth and spat out a few small bubbles, then sneered inwardly, "Heh, practice makes perfect. This time I won't be a fool and waste time waiting!"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Giving You a Claw's Strength

The new body Zhang Xiyue was occupying was clearly full-term; the space inside her uterus was so full that she could barely stretch her legs, which made her somewhat dissatisfied.

Looking down along the umbilical cord, a hint of disgust appeared on the wrinkled baby's face. "Another girl! The mortality rate for girls is too high. I wonder what kind of family she'll be born into this time. What if they're not kind to girls..."

She frowned slightly, opened her mouth, and tried to bite the umbilical cord.

However, since it has no teeth, the tiny fetus obviously does not have the physical means to start swallowing at this time. What can be done?

Zhang Xiyue was very unwilling to accept that her plan to rupture her belly and feed on her mother's body had failed before it even began.

She slowly turned her body, pondering how she could grow up as quickly as possible.

Recalling her bizarre death in her previous life, she felt uneasy.

What kind of feelings does Xiao Jiangchen have for him?

love?

What kind of love allows a woman to cheat on her love with other men?

Is he a pervert?

But Zhang Xiyue felt it was unlikely that there was no love involved.

If you truly love someone, you can accept everything about them, and maybe even some peculiar quirks. If you don't love someone, why would they go to such lengths to please you?

Although she died unjustly, she still doesn't believe that her death in her previous life was related to Xiao Jiangchen.

After all, it would have been easy for him to kill himself, so why would he keep him in his mansion, providing him with so many expensive drugs just for his own pleasure, and then use such despicable means to kill him?

“He must be too busy and doesn’t have time to stay by my side, so he feels guilty. He can tolerate anything as long as I’m happy.” After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xiyue made her final judgment. “However… no matter how powerful Commander Xiao is, he is just an ordinary person. He doesn’t have three heads and six arms, nor can he predict the future. How would he know what’s happening in the Commander’s Mansion?”

Looking back, I realize I really went too far. I was inhaling steroids day and night, and I could eat meat whenever I wanted and people whenever I wanted. I guess it was because I was too open about it that those despicable guys were afraid of me and secretly poisoned me to death!

She was blowing bubbles out of boredom when she felt a pang of regret.

Despite having Xiao Jiangchen's boundless love and the absolute power of the Marshal's Mansion, she failed to use it to quickly heal the wounds in her soul.

He only thought about having fun and had no sense of crisis. As a result, he was killed by bad guys and had to be reincarnated!

Unfortunately, the trauma from his previous life hadn't healed, and dying again made his injuries even more severe!

"I need to hurry up and become stronger, I can't wait any longer!" Thinking of the memories that remained deep in her soul, Zhang Xiyue half-closed her eyes and immersed herself in the blissful feeling of enjoying the longevity ointment.

Whether it was the onset of her nicotine cravings or not, her small body began to tremble, and her desire for the nicotine burned like a raging fire.

She suddenly opened her eyes, "I want to go out now! I want to grow up as quickly as possible, thankfully I'm a girl... I'll grow up and then go find Xiao Jiangchen, I want more longevity pills and more male concubines!"

Oh, and I also want him to use his military power to arrest Lingquan Daoist!

"If I capture him, devour his soul, and possess his body, I will achieve immortality, live forever, and enjoy eternal bliss!"

As the chosen one, the heroine's aura begins to shine brightly when she has a firm goal.

The fluffy ball that was dozing on the coffee table was blinded by the sudden brilliance. Sensing danger, it squinted and jumped up onto Li Hong, trying its best to shield her from the protagonist's halo.

After all, the host had deduced that whenever a calamity star descends upon the world, the parents will inevitably suffer misfortune.

At this time, Zhang Xiyue had not yet been born, and the pregnant woman was the first to be affected by the dazzling halo. If we didn't protect her, she might become a sacrifice for the female lead.

"Ouch!" Just as the halo lit up, Li Hong, who was about to lie down to rest, suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out, "My stomach suddenly hurts so much!"

The maid was startled and quickly helped her lie down before rushing off to call for help.

The atmosphere in the Wu family's side courtyard was slightly tense, with people coming and going in a chaotic manner.

Zhang Xiyue stretched her small body with effort, looking quite content – ​​the first step of her plan had been a success. Actually, physiologically speaking, the fetus wasn't yet ready to be born.

All you need to do is make small movements before the baby is supposed to start labor, causing the mother's body to react abnormally. This will disrupt the mother's original rhythm and consume a lot of energy. Childbirth is never easy, and it's normal for people to die during difficult labor.

Even if there are highly skilled doctors, so what?
