Arc 1: Cannon Fodder Gentle Older Sister Counterattacking On The Reborn Younger Sister

Life is a story

A beautiful one indeed

There is joy and sorrow

Happiness and sadness

And...Everything is possible

But are all stories the same?

Well....no

"Every fictional world is the home to a unique casts of character

While every character, whether they are main leads or the cannon fodders or even the side characters or the passersby, have their own stories to tell"

Here is another short story here:

The Tragedy Of The Fox, A Walking Disaster:

When she, Selene, the nine-tailed fox, was born, many catastrophes happened.

Her siblings died, her twin brother left home

Her country was engaged in a war

And people were mercilessly killing each other

And.....Selene's parent blamed her for it

And so did everyone.....

But Selene wasn't convinced

She wasn't

Though she was a young and ignorant

She matured earlier than others

So, she understood everything what was going on

But she didn't understand why would they blame her

Will blaming her solve anything?

Her parent hated her

Hated her so much that they could kill her any moment

But they didn't kill her at the end.....only tortured her....which was worse than dying for her

They starved her

They locked her into a dark-windowless rooms

They didn't allow her to meet anyone

They didn't even let her sleep sometimes

They even tried to cut out her tails sometimes

Ohhh, and they say that her being a fox was another disaster

Ohhh, look how many disasters are there

Could it be she was disaster herself?

No....she didn't believe

She didn't and she never will

She resisted everyone's torture and abuse on her

And ran away to a faraway land

And never returned again...

And finally, she got some peace in her life

But is peace long-lasting?

It never was

When she thought everyone accepted her there

They were just brewing up a conspiracy

A terrible conspiracy at that

She then tried to run away again

But it seems this is where her life ends

And there she laid

In the form of a nine-tailed fox

Cold and bloodless

Unmoving and emotionless

Her nine tails each represented a different colour

There were beautiful and they represented her lives

But....

Those lively tails now were covered in crimson blood of the fox

She had died

She was gone

Her life as a disaster ended

Or this is what she and everyone else thought so

Selene's body was covered in golden halo

As her holy spirit flew away to another world

She was reborn once again as a child

And she freaking hated it.....at first only

When she opened her golden eyes once again

It was full of disdain and mockery towards the world and the human

But slowly she changed...

No

Her father, mother and brother changed her

Their love changed her

The warmth and courage they gave her changed her

And though Selene hated to admit

She liked it very much

But once again, she wasn't lucky enough to have a good life

One day, her family went on a camping trip to the dark forest

As the name sounded, the dark forest was completely dark and....spooky and turning point for Selene

In the forest, they encountered a Magical Beast, a Wolf....

He was familiar to her.....his green-emerald eyes and his white-silk fur

But that's not important

The wolf was hungry and his hunger will only be gone after eating humans

And which he did

He ate her family

And she just helplessly watched it

She today lost the meaning of her life

Her family was gone

They didn't deserve it at all

They deserved better

And she will AVENGE THEM!

Somehow the wolf left her alive and was deceived by her seemingly innocent person

So he took her with him to the land of Magical Beasts and he turned out to be the ruler of the Magical Beasts

.....It was also Selene's home before.....

...So it will also be her home from now on....

As time passed by under the wolf's care,

Selene grew up as a fine young lady

Though her thirst for revenge was getting stronger day by day

Finally, one day she killed him

Tortured him until he wished for death instead of life

Made him felt the same pain she and her family felt

Though she will admit that, she felt a pang of pain in her heart as will she killed him

But

What is done is already done

So let it be.....

Afterwards, she became the Enchanting Fox Queen Of The Magical Beast Land.

But was this she wanted?

No

Selene sadly smiled as a she cried, "Mom....dad...and brother.....please....please come back. I don't any of these things.....they don't hold any value in front of me....

But you guys are my entire life....so please come back..."

In her first life, she died in vain and in her second life she lived in vain.....

"Yes…this is my sister," the boy hesitated for split moment but saw that Yu Meng had no bad intentions, so he pretended that Yu Meng was his sister.

The lady didn't believe it at first and unreasonably started to question the authenticity. Yu Meng charming face was if covered with frost and gave that woman a last warning glance. Frightened by Yu Meng's sudden fierceness, the lady moved away from them as she felt a cold chill running through her spine. 'I swear, I am not ever going to tease these young people anymore from now on!'

When the woman was nowhere near sight, both Yu Meng and the boy sighed in relief. Hesitatingly the young man thanked Yu Meng for what she did.

"Oh…by the way, I am Fang Ying, you are?" She introduced herself as both of them found two empty seats at the back of the bus and sat down there.

"I…am-….-Jiang Mingxiao," Jiang Mingxiao said as he shuttered.

Jiang Mingxiao?

Surnamed Jiang?

Yu Meng narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly.

'But it can be that I am overthinking as well…So, it is better to ask…..'

Nodding thoughtfully, Yu Meng appeared as if she remembered something, "Wait a minute….Jiang Mingxiao? Do you perhaps know who Jiang Baixuan is?"

Yu Meng carefully noted down Jiang Mingxiao stiffing at the mention of Jiang Baixuan and then slightly lowered down his head and his bangs prevented Yu Meng from seeing his expression. Lightly nodding, Jiang Mingxiao quietly spoke up, "I know him…..he is my brother….."

Yu Meng expression didn't change when she heard as she was already expecting this though her deep eyes lit up brightly. Yu Meng turned to look at him and smiled, "I see." Suddenly, Jiang Mingxiao raised his head up and looked directly into her eyes, his burning gaze could literally make holes on Yu Meng, "But how do you know him?"

This time there was no shuttering or shyness instead there was power inserted in his voice and as if he completely changed into an entirely different person. While, Yu Meng being Yu Meng, curled the corner of her lips into amusement in an angle which Jiang Mingxiao couldn't see from and her bright smile never faltered as Jiang Mingxiao continued to smile at her.

"I heard of Jiang Baixuan from my parents and I heard my friends in school gossiping about. Ahh…he is also famous in the business world for his talents and his also has good-looks, so it is kind of normal for girls like my age to know about him," Plainly, Yu Meng replied. However, if own noticed, there was clear indifference and irony in her voice as well.

'Though, I want to pretend to be the ML's saviour, I have no feelings whatsoever for the original host's murder. And the away I said...sounds like that I have crush on him….that's just….weird….'

Xue Yun: Why would you say that host? Do you know that you sounded really cringey?!

Yu Meng: Did I?

Confused, Yu Meng said in her sea of consciousness.

"Anyways, I am kinda curious about Jiang Baixuan's brother.

No offense but remember, he….looks like the unwanted kid from the anime I watched before starting this mission. I am pretty sure he is supressed by Jiang Baixuan but there was no mention of him in the storyline. Urgh, who cares anyways!"

"The anime kid? Which one?

Ohhhh….I remember!

The unwanted kid from the anime where there were two brothers, one was loved by everyone and was famous, while the other one was always compare to his brother and was very quiet and shy….also his parents didn't like him and didn't want him. But at the end, they liked the same girl….who was the female protagonist, right?" Trying hard to remember about the anime, Xue Yun family remembered everything about the anime. (Author's note: The anime is just fictionally made up by me, so please don't mind if it's just too rubbish for you to bear).

Yu Meng: Yep, I guess so. I liked the female lead very much. She wasn't bad at all, I wish every world had good female leads but I wouldn't have got a mission if all the female leads were good, so I think it is probably fine.

Xue Yun sleepily nodded as her purple fluffy hair swayed a bit. "You want to sleep?" Yu Meng asked. Yawning in reply, Xue Yun magically made a princess pink bed appear and start to sleep soundly. 'Wait a min….she did used to sleep before, then why would she start to sleep now?

My lovely braty system never slept probably in her whole life then...why is she now?

I have noticed that she is hiding something from me, hope it is nothing bad though…..' Yu Meng felt that her system was being way too mysterious these days, which, she is not used to after all her system told every single thing she did, she knew and so on. But even in Xue Yun is a system, she still deserves respect, so Yu Meng let this matter be for the time being.
