The male supporting character was actually myself.

Logically speaking, if he encountered an ancient ferocious beast trying to escape, he would rush forward without hesitation to stop it.

Why such a big change in attitude today?

However, struck by the simple words "Don't bother us," Bai Yu, whose mind was already slightly flustered, blushed and his heart raced. He felt the other's warm, slender, and reassuring hand holding his, and before he knew it, his palms were damp. He no longer had the composure to think about his junior brother's unusual behavior.

Moreover, she knew that Junior Brother Chen was right.

The reason he took the lead was twofold: firstly, he was worried that the ancient ferocious beast might actually break free;

Secondly, knowing Chen Shidi's character and principles, he feared that if Chen Shidi recklessly forced the seal, he would be injured by a powerful backlash.

That's why Bai Yu wanted to get there before him, so as not to hurt his beloved.

"Host, the female lead truly lives up to her reputation as the daughter of a god. She's beautiful and has a wonderful temperament. If you like her, you'd better hurry up and seize the opportunity!"

The little white cat licked its paws and said slowly, "Anyway, we only have one final mission. After you complete it, you can take the female lead and travel the world."

Flying on a sword, traveling and enjoying the scenery, just thinking about it makes me feel wonderful, hehehe..."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and remained silent.

The plot is very clear: the original owner died because he forcibly sealed the altar to save the female lead.

However, his death was in vain.

The altars were eventually shattered, and while the ancient demon lord was still weak after escaping, he was conquered by the protagonist to expand his harem.

If that's the case, why don't we just ignore it?

There is no danger to life if the seal is not forcibly sealed.

"Are we just going to watch the ancient ferocious beast tear apart the seal?" Bai Yu's brows were filled with tension.

Since childhood, she had heard her master mention the ancient ferocious beast that was sealed away. It was a high god who risked his life to suppress and seal it away 100,000 years ago.

Later, the deity disappeared without a trace, and the various sects took turns guarding him closely, fearing that he might escape.

As the cracks on the altar multiplied, and the entire mountain seemed to be forcibly torn apart, Bai Yu felt uneasy.

Jiang Chen remained calm. Unable to stand steadily due to the shaking of the mountain, he simply pulled his senior sister to sit down and watch.

“What else can we do? It’s a ferocious beast that only a god can seal. If we go up there, we’ll just be throwing our lives away.” He looked at the other person’s flawless profile with slightly furrowed brows and smiled lightly. “Why don’t we let that ferocious beast slowly wear down the seal? When it breaks out, we might be able to pick up some scraps.”

"Huh?" Bai Yu was a little confused.

But she knew that her junior brother was always steady and wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of, so even though she was very nervous, she sat with him on the edge of the formation and waited patiently.

"Boom!"

The cracks on the altar multiplied, and it soon crumbled and exploded.

"He...he's out!"

Bai Yu's hands trembled slightly with nervousness. He involuntarily gripped Junior Brother Chen's hand tightly and asked in a slightly frightened voice, "Junior Brother Chen, what should we do?"

Jiang Chen's calculations were spot on; the shattered altar and the terrifying power emanating from it stopped exactly one foot away from the two of them.

A giant, fiery red creature, resembling a ball of flame, slowly emerged from the center of the altar, which had been blasted into a deep, dark cavern.

"What is this?" The little white cat curiously tiptoed to look. "Judging by the color, could it be a big firebird? The legendary phoenix?"

Jiang Chen also stood up, holding his senior sister's hand, and looked at her curiously.

Its fiery red fur was fluffy yet exuded a violent aura; its body lines were smooth and agile, and its intense malevolent energy emanated from within, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Snapped!"

Sharp claws emerged from the altar and stepped onto the ground, gleaming coldly like blades drawn from their sheaths.

A fiery red, bushy tail, pulsating like flames, slowly unfurled behind it, and the air seemed to be filled with a suffocating, terrifying energy.

"Finally... I'm free!"

A deep, resonant voice, like an ancient call, rang out, and Jiang Chen couldn't immediately distinguish whether it was male or female.

However, since the main character has already added Chi Ling to his harem in the script, she is most likely female.

"Junior Brother Chen, I'll protect you and get out of here quickly!" Bai Yu belatedly realized that the other party's aura was stronger than she had ever seen before. She bit her tongue to free herself from the predicament of being so shocked that her whole body was stiff. She cried out and wanted to rush forward to hold them off for a moment, so as to buy her beloved a chance to live.

At the same time, she felt intense self-reproach.

What kind of time is this to still be thinking about romance!

So much so that he was so engrossed in the rare time alone with Junior Brother Chen, holding hands, that he forgot to even assess the danger.

Hoping that the ancient ferocious beast would break the seal and weaken its power was wishful thinking! Now that it has broken free, I'm afraid I could only buy Junior Brother Chen a few breaths to escape, even if I risked my life.

"Hurry up! There's no time!" Bai Yu gritted his teeth, drew his longsword, and made a hand seal as he was about to step forward.

Jiang Chen calmly grabbed her and said softly, "Senior sister, don't worry. This guy has no strength left. He's just putting on a show now, trying to scare people."

The red fox's eyes blazed with intense flames as it stared down at the two motionless cultivators. The pressure it unleashed was like a thousand-pound boulder, instantly turning the rubble that had rolled around as it broke free into dust.

"Don't be afraid, senior sister. I'll catch her and let you pet her like a pet later." Jiang Chen felt the person next to her trembling and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Red Fox:......

"Arrogant brat spouting nonsense!" She slammed her paw heavily on the ground, her deep voice booming like thunder.

However, Jiang Chen remained calm and looked at her with curiosity, asking, "How many tails do you have? Are you a nine-tailed fox? Aren't nine-tailed foxes usually white? Black would be fine too, it looks cooler. Red looks too festive and lacks majesty."

Red Fox: (╬◣д◢)

Why aren't you running away yet?

Can't you see how fierce I am?

They're actually discussing fur color? Hurry up and run! I'm about to collapse if I don't run!

The red fox was inwardly furious, but outwardly maintained a terrifying aura. It slowly lowered its head, revealing its sharp white teeth, and said fiercely, "Heh, then I'll eat you all up, just to fill my teeth!"

Chapter Three: Conspiracy and Countermeasures

"Junior Brother Chen..." Bai Yu was so nervous that cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

If it weren't for her junior brother holding her hand and giving her some courage, she had no doubt that she would have been so overwhelmed by the pressure that she would have collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.

Jiang Chen's white robe with gold trim fluttered in the wind like snow, making him look like an immortal descending to earth.

"Then come here and take a few steps." He said calmly, even with a smile on his face, "Take two steps forward."

The little white cat was so nervous it was trembling, after all, this guy was too big!

Its weight is considerable; a single swipe of its claws could flatten a person.

"Host, play it safe and don't be reckless!"

It scratched its round belly twice, trembling, and whispered, "It seems we don't have any suitable tools. How capable is the original owner? Can we beat them?"

If you can't win, then stop being so arrogant, okay?

"Ow!"

Enraged, the red fox forced itself to breathe and roared, then lowered its head to swallow the despicable human whole!

The enormous face pressed down like a mountain, and Bai Yu screamed in fright, taking two steps back and falling to the ground; Jiang Chen, however, was completely unaffected by the pressure, grabbing the long sword at his waist with his right hand and slapping it directly at the red fox's furry face.

"Snapped!"

The sword, imbued with three-tenths of its power, collided with the fox-faced creature, and the next second, a soft "thud" was heard.

The enormous body, which was being faked, shrank instantly like a punctured balloon.

The oppressive aura that made Bai Yu tremble vanished without a trace in an instant.

A tiny, bright red fox, barely bigger than a fluffy ball, rolled down to Jiang Chen's feet, looking as cute as a little puppy.

"Ah!" Red Fox and Jiang Chen stared at each other for a moment, then screamed and jumped out.

He swiftly grabbed her by the back of her neck, ignoring the red fox's frantic clawing, and lifted her up.

"Damn it, I'm warning you to let me go right now!" Red Fox scratched, and her voice suddenly became a clear, bell-like girl's voice, crisp and very pleasant to hear.

The little white cat stood up curiously and looked around. "No wonder she was won over by the protagonist. You can tell from her voice that she's a great beauty. The key is that she's an ancient fox spirit. Fox spirits are always very beautiful."

Let me check the script. Chi Ling should be one of the most beautiful and powerful members of the main character's harem..."

It paused before finishing its sentence, then said, "Host, congratulations on completing the mission. The script is starting to update. The best supporting actor didn't die, but I wonder how the plot will unfold next."

Jiang Chen held the little fox in one hand and stroked its fur with the other.

It has slightly stiffer and smoother fur than a white kitten's, and it's very thick and feels quite nice to the touch.

"Here, it feels pretty good to pet." Jiang Chen handed it to Bai Yu and chuckled, "But be careful, it's an ancient ferocious beast after all. If it dares to bite, beat it up, beat it up hard!"

Red fox:o(≧口≦)o

This is infuriating!

I'm not a pet that you can just pet!

"What an adorable little fox!"

Bai Yu adjusted her breathing and returned to normal. She gently hugged the little fox in her arms, stroked its fur, and said with concern, "It's so small and weak. If I take it out, the major sects will definitely ask me to kill it while it's weak. What should I do?"

For the greater good of the world, this ferocious beast must not be allowed to live.

But the little guy was just too adorable, so she couldn't bring herself to kill him outright.

Jiang Chen's tone remained calm and nonchalant, "Let's keep him healthy for now."

After all, we don't know why she was suppressed.

What if that god was only acting out of personal selfishness?

First, I need to find out the cause and effect. If this person has committed numerous evils and has been sealed away for 100,000 years without showing any remorse, I will simply eliminate her.

"Hmph!" The red fox was tightly embraced by the white feather. Finding that she could not break free, she snorted coldly and said, "I am an ancient demon lord. That damned Shili lost to me in a beauty contest and now he holds a grudge."

She's no match for me in a fight!

That guy actually used tricks! You humans who resort to scheming and deceit are despicable!

Bai Yu frowned slightly. "Junior Brother Chen is absolutely right. I have heard since childhood that the ancient ferocious beasts were suppressed by the Ten Mile God, but I have never heard of the reason for the suppression."

Some say that ferocious beasts are disturbing the peace of the cultivation world;
