The Hated Cannon Fodder Has Gone Mad!

A phoenix shou who goes from universally hated to universally adored x a dragon gong who's fierce on the attack but fragile on defense, and a total goofball

Wang Bai only belatedly realized after a traitor kicked him down to the mortal realm that he was the universally hated cannon-fodder character in a cultivation novel about a gloomy male ghost and a delicate little white flower. His only purpose was to keep sabotaging the two of them.

Now that the story had reached its finale, it was time for him to exit the stage.

Wang Bai: ??? First, that delicate little white flower is my older brother. Second, who the hell could accept their brother dating a lunatic? How is that sabotaging them?!

Hmph. If he survives this time, none of those people up in the heavens are getting away. ^-^

Whoever shows up is getting slapped twice. ^-^

Wang Bai fell to the mortal realm full of resentment, and, as luck would have it, landed right on his old flame Zhi Yu's territory, smashing the sleeping man awake.

Zhi Yu sat bolt upright, on death's door, and felt his dragon horns. Phew, still there.

He was about to see who was so bold as to wake him up, but when he turned around, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Good heavens! How had his little bird gotten beaten up so badly? This was outrageous!

Zhi Yu hurriedly dug out everything he could spare and left it for his little bird, then secretly went to the heavens to avenge him.

He hadn't fully recovered yet, so he put on a secret identity and quietly started tripping up the traitor.

But after Wang Bai woke up, he was anything but well-behaved. He insisted on revealing his whereabouts and taking matters into his own hands, so Zhi Yu had no choice but to return to his side in disguise.

But, um... why was his little bird acting so strange?

An old friend accused Wang Bai of colluding with demons. Zhi Yu rushed over and slapped him twice.

His father accused him of harming his siblings. Zhi Yu gave him two more slaps.

The traitor sent assassins after him. When Zhi Yu caught them, he gave them a full dose of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Even the passing Howling Celestial Dog nearly got kicked a couple of times.

Zhi Yu could practically feel the pain himself.

Good heavens, who had driven his cute, obedient, gentle, kind, considerate little bird to this?

Come to think of it, their last parting hadn't gone very well. If Wang Bai found out that he'd hidden his identity to stay by his side, wouldn't Wang Bai skin him alive and pull out his tendons?

Just thinking about it had him sweating bullets already. ^-^

He didn't dare say a word, but his cover was blown far too soon.

Wang Bai had recognized Zhi Yu the moment they met, but the guy flat-out refused to admit it and kept pretending to be bashful.

Fine. He'd like to see how long this four-legged, long-bodied animal could keep up the act.

When his father sent him to purify evil spirits, he was ambushed. Zhi Yu insisted on taking a blade for him and accidentally exposed his dragon horns. Wang Bai immediately grabbed the four-legged, long-bodied animal and tossed him aside.

After the little prince finished off the evil spirit, he turned to deal with Zhi Yu, planted a big knife in the ground, and glared at him ominously. "If you can't give me a reasonable excuse for deceiving me, I'll kill you."

The long, four-legged seaweed rolled on the ground. "Haha... let me explain."
