The Cannon Fodder Schemed Himself to Death, and the Demon Queen Went Crazy - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: Capture the Mother of the Chosen One

The Great Void Heavenly Realm.

Qingzhou.

Heavenly Fate Holy Land.

Supreme Tranquil Palace.

Seated above was a woman dressed in a dark red phoenix‑embroidered immortal gown with flowing golden patterns. Her jet‑black hair fell naturally over her chest. Her delicate, palm‑sized oval face looked as though it had been carefully sculpted by the Goddess Nuwa herself. Her skin was smooth like congealed cream, naturally jade‑like. A purple‑gold bracelet rested on her fair wrist. 

Supporting her cheek with one hand, her slender long legs crossed elegantly, laziness hidden within her phoenix eyes.

Right now, her gaze was fixed on the man seated below.

He wore a red round‑collar robe embroidered with clouds, topped with a thin white cloak. His long hair, silver like polished jade, draped naturally down his back. His face was refined like carved jade, sword‑shaped brows and starry eyes. His narrow phoenix eyes tilted slightly upward, thin lips faintly raised, appearing gentle yet carrying a distant coldness that kept others away.

“You really have a way to help me kill Bai Wuchen?” Zhongli Qingmeng looked at Chu Xinghe, her eyes filled with scrutiny, doubt, and curiosity.

Chu Xinghe withdrew his gaze from her long legs and said calmly, “If you didn’t believe me, you wouldn’t have brought me back. Every time he appears, all fortuitous opportunities are taken by him. Every time you send people to kill him, he survives disaster after disaster, and his strength even rises rapidly.”

Zhongli Qingmeng’s expression turned serious.

A few days ago, she had failed to seize a fortuitous opportunity. This man called Chu Xinghe had stopped her and claimed he had a way to deal with Bai Wuchen. If she did not still need something from Heavenly Fate Holy Land, she would not have ended up in such a passive position. That guy was like a loach, slippery every time, truly annoying.

“Chu Xinghe, Young Master of the Chu Family in Xuanzhou, Bai Wuchen’s sworn brother. Even after your family was destroyed, you still didn’t sell him out. Do you think I can trust you?” Zhongli Qingmeng sneered lightly. “What, is he trying to use a handsome‑man scheme on me?”

Chu Xinghe was not surprised that Zhongli Qingmeng had investigated his background.

This woman was an existence judged by the system to be a Villainous Demon Queen.

The original Chu Xinghe was already dead. He had transmigrated here.

In his previous life, he was an orphan. After growing up, he gathered those he regarded as brothers. After founding a company, he was betrayed. Then he met a traffic accident on the road and was smashed to pieces. He transmigrated into Chu Xinghe of the Great Void Heavenly Realm and awakened the Protagonist Support System.

So he came.

He came to the side of this ultimate villainous Demon Queen.

“You should have already investigated this clearly. Ever since I met Bai Wuchen, I used the Chu Family to help him clean up his messes. Every time he showed off in front of others, he left behind a pile of trouble. In the secret realm, he fought over spiritual medicine with the Ji Family’s young lady. After stealing it, he even showed off in front of her and reported my Chu Family’s name, directly causing the Chu Family to be wiped out by the Ji Family.”

Chu Xinghe’s voice remained calm.

“The Chu Family was destroyed, and I nearly died as well, becoming a cripple. Meanwhile, he still had the leisure to join Heavenly Fate Holy Land, then hooked up with Ji Qingmeng. He never even sent anyone to inquire about my whereabouts. I know exactly what he’s thinking. If I die, he doesn’t need to explain anything and can peacefully stay with Ji Mengxin.”

Zhongli Qingmeng did not speak. She had already investigated all of this.

“So how do you plan to deal with him?” she asked.

Hearing Zhongli Qingmeng’s counterquestion, Chu Xinghe finally relaxed his tense heart and probed tentatively, “How about we first grab his mother and play with her?”

Zhongli Qingmeng: ?????

“Oh? You’re interested in his mother?” Zhongli Qingmeng looked at him with curiosity. If it were anyone else, they would already be dead. This guy in front of her was somewhat interesting. Someone with such an ethereal temperament actually had such hobbies.

“You just need to capture his mother. I’ll think of the rest.”

Zhongli Qingmeng watched Chu Xinghe’s excited expression, her eyes filled with something strange. She didn’t understand, but she supported it. She also wanted to see what Chu Xinghe planned to do.

[Host, what are you doing? I asked you to assist the Chosen One, yet you ran to the Villainous Demon Queen’s side and are even helping her deal with the Chosen One.]

The cute system prompt sounded.

Chu Xinghe communicated with the system in his mind. “You don’t understand. This is exactly helping the Chosen One grow. Think about it. If the Chosen One loses both parents, has no weaknesses, then he can soar straight to the sky. I’m infiltrating the enemy to help him. I’m making a huge sacrifice too. You also know this woman is a Villainous Demon Queen. I’m throwing myself into the tiger’s den. If I make her fall in love with me, then cripple her and deliver her to the Chosen One, doesn’t that also complete the mission?”

[That actually makes sense. Why didn’t the system think of this? Host is really smart. Newbie gift pack is being issued.]

[Newbie gift pack opened. Obtained Immortal‑Demonic Body, Immortal‑Demonic Eyes, Immortal‑Demonic Dao Scripture, Immortal‑Demonic Descends Upon Nine Heavens attack method, growth Dao artifact Immortal‑Demonic Zither, and three lottery chances.]

As his physique fused, Chu Xinghe’s expression changed. His body trembled slightly. His shattered meridians and dantian were restored. Dao rhythms circulated endlessly within him. In the blink of an eye, his strength broke through to Perfect God General Realm.

In the Great Void Heavenly Realm, cultivation realms from low to high were:

Body Refinement, Qi Nourishing, Meridian Opening, Core Condensation, Spirit Sea, Divine Soul, Divine Organs, God General.

King Sealing, Emperor Sealing, Ascending Heaven, Void God, True God, Heavenly God, God King, God Emperor.

Saint, Great Saint, Heavenly Saint, Supreme, Great Emperor.

Chu Xinghe: ???

Zhongli Qingmeng frowned.

This guy had been staring at her legs the whole time. Then he suddenly trembled.

Thinking of this, her attitude turned cold. Invisible killing intent spread, and the temperature in the entire hall dropped rapidly. She uncrossed her legs and looked at Chu Xinghe with a half‑smile.

“Do you like them?”

Chu Xinghe did not go against his heart. Those round, fair, straight long legs were something no man disliked. He had even just drawn a pair of black stockings.

“I like them.”

Zhongli Qingmeng seemed to turn into ten‑thousand‑year cold ice. Frost began spreading throughout the hall.

“Do you want to touch them?”

Chu Xinghe raised his head. “Can I?”

Zhongli Qingmeng gave a cold laugh and said, “Guards, cut off his legs and throw him out to feed the wolves.”

Chu Xinghe snapped back to his senses. “Wait.”

Zhongli Qingmeng looked at him.

“Just cutting my legs is meaningless. Why not dig out my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and gouge out my eyes as well. To die in your hands, I would be willing. Or you can pack them up and place them in this palace, so I can accompany you day and night.”

The two guards who were about to step forward: ????

Zhongli Qingmeng: ????

She was already crazy, but this guy seemed even crazier than her. Especially the fanaticism in his eyes did not look fake.

Zhongli Qingmeng waved her hand, and the two guards retreated.

“Interesting. I believe you now. If you have any needs, tell me. Are you going to meet that brother of yours now? Even the adopted daughter of your parents is there.”

Chu Xinghe shook his head. Now was not the time.

“Tonight, Bai Wuchen’s mother will be delivered to your room. If you fail to complete the mission, I will help you fulfill what you just said.”

Zhongli Qingmeng turned and left.

Chu Xinghe finally let out a breath and rubbed his temples. His head hurt a little. After the original owner’s death, a trace of obsession had not dissipated. Otherwise, he would not have taken such a risk.

While he was lost in thought, a silent figure appeared beside him.

“Young Master Chu, Bai Wuchen’s mother has already been sent to your room.”
