The male supporting character was actually myself.

The original owner really had a tough time, shouldering both internal and external troubles, and even getting tricked by the script while trying to peek into the secrets of heaven.

He dedicated his entire life to the cause of the demon race, only to have the script simply hand him over as a perk to the protagonist.

The next few days were glossed over, and the script didn't explain where Ye Xuan went or what he did.

Anyway, when he reappeared three days later, he was told that he had encountered demon hunters who had captured dozens of harmless little demons. He originally planned to rescue his own kind, but when he saw Yan Mingyue, who was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, he immediately felt the softest corner of his heart being touched.

So Ye Xuan abandoned his original plan and instead kidnapped the holy maiden of the demon hunter clan under the guise of "revenge," where he harassed and humiliated her before forcibly taking her...

"Ugh! I still find it disgusting to read it again!" The little white cat rubbed its chest with its furry paws, making a vomiting motion. "Look at this description—what does 'leaving indelible memories and imprints' mean?"

Ye Xuan is clearly a scoundrel who rapes women!

No matter how nicely worded the explanation, it can't erase the fact that he humiliated and forced the girl. Even if the script contrived a way for the female lead to fall in love with him later, it wouldn't whitewash the act!

Jiang Chen put away the script and disappeared into the hellish prison. "But many novels like to write it this way."

It seems the male lead, with his handsome face, can do whatever he wants in the name of love; it's truly disgusting.

………………

"What?! Explain yourself! What do you mean by 'disappeared'?" Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the wolf demon Li Qing slammed his hand on the table in anger, causing the teapot and teacups to rattle and fall.

The subordinate, with his long gray wolf tail trailing behind him, knelt in the hall with his head bowed and repeated, "The elite team you sent to investigate the Hell Prison failed to get close to the prison and disappeared in the nearby jungle."

Li Qing's sharp eyes were fixed on the jungle, which was the last trace left on the parchment map, making the scars on his face look even more ferocious.

"Could it be Lord Fox Demon? No, that's not right, he wouldn't do such a thing." Li Qing had cultivated for over two thousand years and had heard about Lord Fox Demon's strict requirements for his clan since childhood.

Given that person's temperament, he would neither want to nor deign to devour such a few wolf cubs.

what is going on actually?

Could there be a disobedient member of the fox demon clan? But besides Fox Shadow, who else could silently wipe out all the elites they had cultivated?

They couldn't even send out a distress signal!

"Report! Your Majesty, the Fox Demon Lord has just issued a wanted notice for the demon race! Please take a look!"

Li Qing was still wondering when his subordinate presented him with the wanted poster, which had been teleported using magic.

As soon as the scroll was unfurled, his eyes widened, scanning the entire scroll in a flash. Li Qing slammed his hand on the table, shattering it, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Ye Xuan! I will tear you apart and skin you alive to vent my hatred!"

The fox demon Ye Xuan was a cursed lone star. He devoured and refined a sacred artifact that the fox demon master had crafted, which contained half of his magic power. He escaped from the Reverse Spirit Array and attempted to kill the fox shadow that tried to stop him, but his whereabouts are now unknown.

The purpose of issuing the arrest warrant is to warn all fellow demons to be extremely careful and not to leave their communal habitat in the near future, so as to avoid danger.

"Chief Rock was indeed prescient!" The bird-demon myna looked at the wanted posters circulating around and exclaimed in surprise, "Is the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star really that powerful? How could he escape from the Reverse Spirit Array?"

Bear Demon Rock Cloud slowly ground the honey and herbal extract, dipped a finger in it and gently sucked on it. Leaning against the new stone table, he sighed, "Since it was the fox demon who deduced the secrets of heaven, then it must be true."

The power of the "Lone Star of Calamity" goes beyond this.

It is said that they bring death to everyone around them, devouring the luck of others for their own use.

Although he lived a lonely life, he benefited greatly.

Anyone who dares to confront him head-on will surely die a horrible death.

Ye Xuan's strength has greatly increased after consuming the sacred artifact; even Fox Shadow is no match for him. If he harbors evil intentions, the demon race will surely face a great calamity!

"Ah?!" The bird-like myna bird asked in a trembling voice, "You mean—he will slaughter his own kind to increase his own strength?"

"Otherwise what?" Yan Wuyun added some more honey, his face clouded with worry. "Why did he attack Fox Shadow if he didn't want to swallow the demon core?"

"Hmph! Before the demon hunters even arrived at Lingqiu Mountain to cause trouble, a major traitor has already emerged from within the demon race, committing all sorts of evil deeds! If Lord Fox Demon doesn't have a good solution, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay on Lingqiu Mountain any longer."

Zhu Gang, the leader of the wild boar demon clan, frowned as he read the wanted poster. He then tossed his wire-like hair back and said with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, what kind of cursed lone star is this... I don't believe any demon can escape from the Reverse Spirit Array! Fox spirits are all cunning, there must be some inside story I can't imagine!"

He secretly made up his mind that since the fox demon had unexpectedly decided to retaliate, he needed to have some backup plans so that he wouldn't be used as a pawn.

Meanwhile, the fairies scattered across various regions all received arrest warrants personally issued by their leader.

The flower fairy, who was secretly using her magic to conjure up various flowers in the flower shop, was so frightened by what she saw that she stuck out her little tongue and hurriedly locked the shop door again.

The giant panda lying in the zoo, eating and drinking for free, glanced at the food, picked up a tender bamboo shoot, and continued to pretend to be silly and slowly chew it.

The leopard demon turned and leaped into a tree, closing his eyes to rest and begin cultivating. In case the fox demon Ye Xuan really came looking for him, he needed to be in peak condition to have a fighting chance...

Chapter Eleven: A Shameless New Mission

Three days will pass in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Chen searched secretly but still couldn't find any trace of the male lead, Ye Xuan.

His communication with Yan Mingyue progressed quite smoothly.

The two communicated through text, starting with discussions about the natural way, then moving on to poetry and songs, and finally to their leisure time.

Yan Mingyue already lacked peers to chat with due to her special status, but now that she has met a gentle and handsome man who can comfort and guide her emotions, she quickly fell completely in love.

Whenever she had a spare moment, she would hold her phone and refuse to let go, eagerly waiting for it to vibrate and receive a message.

Lying in bed that night, after chatting and saying goodnight to each other, Yan Mingyue was still very reluctant to part. Staring blankly at the chat history, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up. She felt that her life had suddenly become clear!

She used to have the thought of running away when she was frustrated, but now, with Jiang Chen's encouragement, she has made up her mind that she must not back down, otherwise there will be no possibility of reconciliation between humans and demons!

"We must find a way to make the two races coexist peacefully!" Yan Mingyue put down her phone and said silently to herself.

Although I haven't figured out a feasible solution yet, just like Jiang Chen said, everyone has their own innate mission. It's easy to back down and give up, but once you actually take that step, it's hard to have another chance to make amends.

Often, one wrong step can lead to a series of wrong steps until there is no way out.

It is indeed difficult to achieve a balance in the relationship between humans and demons. Perhaps I shouldn't fight alone. Could I go and discuss with a powerful demon who is inclined towards peace to reach a consensus?

Just as she was struggling with this decision, her phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated again.

"Jiang Chen?" Yan Mingyue picked up her phone with delight, but her expression immediately turned to disappointment when she saw the number displayed on the screen. She hesitated for a few seconds before pressing the call button. "Hello? Another urgent mission? Where are we going this time?"

After the brief call ended, she frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and sent a message to Jiang Chen.

[Yan Mingyue: I... I have to do something I really don't want to do again. I feel so guilty, but I don't know what to do!]

[Jiang Chen: ??? Can't I refuse? If you don't have the ability to resist now, try to compromise first. Gather your strength and then fight back in one fell swoop! Do you need my help?]

[Yan Mingyue: It seems I have no choice but to comply for now... Thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately, you can't help me with what I'm going through. However, this time I won't be the executioner. I will do my best to help them, and perhaps we can still salvage something...]

[Jiang Chen: Believe in yourself, you can definitely do it!]

After replying to the message, he fiddled with his phone with one hand and opened the script.

It seems the scene where the male and female leads meet for the first time in the plot is about to unfold!

[Mission: Dispatch at least thirty harmless demons to White Elm Mountain within one hour. Reward: One-time use B-grade item.]

"Huh? Why is the main system suddenly issuing such a strange task?"

The little white cat, busy playing games with half a dried fish in its mouth, hurriedly finished a game before logging off and bouncing over to ask, "Host, what does this mean?"

Jiang Chen stood up and snapped his fingers, transforming his casual clothes into a magnificent black robe embroidered with gold thread.

The large, pure black collar made his face appear even whiter, and the starlight in his narrow eyes vanished instantly. He stretched and gave a slight smile. "What is the reason for the male and female leads to meet in the story?"

The demon hunters originally intended to besiege Spider Web Mountain, which was located on the outskirts of Lingqiu Mountain, as the terrain there was treacherous and many spider demons were hiding there.

Upon arriving at Spiderweb Mountain, they had not yet found the Spider Demon, but instead discovered a group of dozens of harmless little demons quietly moving around. The demon hunters took the opportunity to give chase, but the commotion was too great, and they were spotted by Ye Xuan who happened to be passing by.

He originally intended to save his own kind, but upon seeing Yan Mingyue, one of the demon hunters, he fell in love with her at first sight, resulting in a disgusting drama unsuitable for children.

The plot focuses solely on the explosive romance of the male and female leads' first encounter, completely ignoring the dozens of pitiful little demons. After all, the male lead, Ye Xuan, abandoned them and ignored them, so they were probably all captured by demon hunters.

The main system's mission was for me to send a decoy, someone designed to lure the male and female protagonists to their deaths.

"Huh?!" The little white cat was so shocked that it dropped its dried fish. "This is too shameless! Host, you have a way to deal with the main system and the male protagonist, right?"

Jiang Chen put the script away, straightened her clothes, and said softly, "I'll do my best."

"I knew the host was the best!" The fluffy dumpling spared no effort in showering him with compliments.

Fox Shadow was a little confused when it received the order from the adults, but it still immediately notified all the fairies in the vicinity who met the requirements to attend an emergency meeting.

"Isn't the master preparing to retaliate against the demon hunters? Why have we all gathered together for a meeting?"

"It seems like all the attendees are harmless little demons?"

"Shouldn't the counterattack be directed at powerful demons like bear demons, boar demons, wolf demons, and leopard demons?"

"I suddenly feel really nervous. Could something have happened?"

……

The little demons, gathered together, trembled with fear. The fox shadow, shrouded in a black robe, stood in the void watching them whisper and murmur amongst themselves, filled with doubt.

Why are these little demons holding a meeting?

Aside from a few useless minor spells, they had absolutely no combat power and no say in the dog-eat-dog world of the demon race.

What are adults thinking?

After pondering for a moment, Fox Shadow decided that he still couldn't understand the adult's thoughts and simply gave up completely.

Anyway, whatever adults do is right!

"The fox demon has arrived!"

As the guard announced loudly, the hundreds of little demons who had been notified to attend the gathering immediately fell silent.

The entire hall was completely silent.

Jiang Chen walked confidently onto the stage, instantly scanning the little demons participating in the meeting with his senses.

Rabbit demon, flower demon, squirrel demon, butterfly demon...

Although they have all cultivated to human form, they still retain certain distinctive features.

The little lamb demon has ears and horns on its head; the rabbit demon has big ears and a short tail; the butterfly demon has a pair of gorgeous wings on its back...

This was the first time he had seen so many different kinds of little demons since he transmigrated. While he was observing them, the little demons who had never seen the fox demon's true face were also marveling at his beauty.

The dog-demon girls in the front row had pink hearts in their eyes, completely captivated by the fox demon's beauty.

"Everyone, I have urgently summoned you here because I have a very important task to entrust to you." Jiang Chen had a general understanding of their situation and said, "I have discovered that the demon hunters have mobilized in large numbers and intend to carry out a siege in Spider Web Mountain."

However, they were too scattered to be captured all at once.

I need thirty volunteers to pretend to move the team and lure the demon hunters together.
