After being reborn as an ugly cannon fodder, my appearance stats are off the charts!

Chu Chenhuan had already given up hope.

The more Hidden Demon Cult members he captured and the more he learned about the cruelty of the cult's selection process, the more he suspected that his younger brother might already be dead.

Back then, after the Chu family was wiped out, my grandfather was so heartbroken that he soon fell ill and died.

Chu Chenhuan, a seven-year-old child, had nowhere to go and was taken away by an old man.

That old man is none other than the current leader of the Thousand Poisons Sect.

The old man told Chu Chenhuan that the disciples he accepted all had a life-or-death feud with the Hidden Demon Sect. Secondly, Chu Chenhuan had inherited some of the Chu family's beast-breeding physique, which was very suitable for raising Gu.

The old man had been watching Chu Chenhuan closely for a long time, and even secretly saw him leading people to collect the remains of his family members. The fact that Chu Chenan's body was not among them indicated that Chu Chenan had probably been captured and was likely still alive.

With this hope, Chu Chenhuan has waited until now.

Over the years, his methods of raising Gu poison were too ruthless, and the poison damaged him, causing him to have moments of madness and making it increasingly difficult for him to control the madness in his mind.

I thought everything would end at this Lingchun Banquet...

But to my utter surprise, hope came so unexpectedly.

After Yan An obtained the "cannon fodder plot," he discovered that Chu Chen An's life story did not include any instance of meeting Chu Chen Huan.

Even though Chu Chen'an became the young demon lord in the story and used the name Chen'an, Chu Chenhuan never came looking for him, and the two brothers never met.

Not to mention, Yan An is still using his original name from his previous life—this name is his anchor. As long as he remembers this name, no matter what kind of person he is reincarnated into or how many lives he experiences, he will not easily lose himself.

In short, although his name became widely known as he made his first official appearance as the Young Demon Lord, it was even less likely to attract Chu Chenhuan's attention.

Yan An originally planned to wait until he could move freely outside the Hidden Demon Sect before personally searching for Chu Chenhuan's whereabouts. Regardless of whether he could find him or not, or what he found, at least he would have some results.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chenhuan appeared at the Lingchun Banquet, a event that Chu Chenan had never participated in during this cannon fodder storyline.

Yan An peered intently at the young man opposite her through the hood specially made of black silk.

The other person's appearance was not much like the older brother in my memory.

Thinking of this, Yan An realized that his face was even more different from when he was a child.

If he had grown up with Chu Chenhuan since childhood, the other party would only be surprised that his younger brother was getting better and better.

But the two brothers have been separated since they were three years old. If Chu Chenhuan sees this face again now, will he believe that he is his younger brother?

Yan An stopped holding the purple Gu worm and instead transmitted his voice secretly, saying, "My name is now Yan An."

Upon hearing this name, Chu Chenhuan paused.

"But after I was born, my parents named me Chu Chen'an."

Chu Chenhuan knew from the internal energy movement technique Yan An used that Yan An's identity in the Hidden Demon Sect was definitely not ordinary. He never expected that Yan An would be the Young Demon Lord!

Chu Chenhuan had nothing left to doubt.

Although he hated the Hidden Demon Sect to the bone and still held a sense of contempt for its members, he also knew that the Hidden Demon Sect, especially someone of the Young Demon Lord's status, would not lie and say that he was his brother just to deceive him.

Most importantly, the Purple Gu King only needed to make one face to face with Yan An before it completely suppressed its aggression.

Such a physique is something that only the Chu family could possess.

"You still remember... I thought..." Chu Chenhuan had thought that if his younger brother had really been kidnapped and taken back to the Hidden Demon Sect, and had survived, he would have successfully found his brother...

But what if the younger brother, who was forced to leave home at the age of three, has forgotten who he is, forgotten his parents, and forgotten his older brother?

……

After the two brothers went to a secluded place and had a private conversation, they learned about each other's experiences over the years.

Furthermore, Chu Chenhuan told Yan An everything he knew about the Lingchun Banquet without reservation, and also gave him whatever he could.

The two brothers agreed to exchange messages and meet again in certain places if they had the opportunity in the future.

Yan An then put his hood back on and hurried toward the Glazed Pagoda.

……

As soon as Yan An left, Chu Chenhuan's face darkened, and a look of madness appeared in his eyes.

Just thinking about the suffering his younger brother had endured in the Hidden Demon Sect over the years...

Then I thought of my younger brother's current appearance, wondering how many animals he had attracted and whether he had been harmed...

But the younger brother didn't have to do this!

If what happened back then hadn't happened, and they had stayed together as a family, the younger brother would definitely have been well protected...

Instead of suffering so much now, and being forced to participate in a life-or-death struggle in the future.

Chu Chenhuan felt a surge of murderous intent.

This year's Lingchun Banquet was secretly planned and arranged by multiple forces long ago, all for the purpose of assassinating E Feng, Xie Shihong, and Zhong Lijun. If it succeeds...

If these three people were no longer in the world, then the Hidden Demon Sect, Zhaoyue Manor, and Moling City would no longer be invincible behemoths.

The younger brother will also gain freedom.

But what if this assassination attempt fails when facing these three people?

In that case, the life-or-death struggle will continue.

Chu Chenhuan suddenly felt that Han Tianshuo and Zhongli Wuji deserved to die even more.

He knew, of course, that with his brother's beauty, countless people in the world would be willing to risk their lives for him, disregarding everything else.

Even people like Han Tianshuo and Zhongli Wuji could not possibly surrender to their younger brother, or even offer their necks for execution.

Even those three... if they wanted it too...

Chu Chenhuan couldn't imagine his younger brother being with these people.

In his eyes, none of these people were good enough for his brother!

If they truly cared, they should have died on the spot!

Chu Chenhuan thought of his suggestion to help his younger brother kill Han Tianshuo and Zhongli Wuji ahead of time, but his brother refused... Especially Han Tianshuo, he didn't know what was so special about this person, his brother only said that he was useful to keep him alive.

Chu Chenhuan quickly remembered something.

Ji Qinghe had previously told him that the Holy Son of the Hidden Demon Sect was so beautiful that he seemed otherworldly, more like a celestial being who brought disaster to the world.

This holy son only showed his face once, but the entire city of Yang couldn't forget him.

The Holy Son also hit it off immediately with Han Tianshuo, the young master of Zhaoyue Manor, and even gave him his personal belongings.

When Chu Chenhuan spoke with his younger brother earlier, he assumed that his brother was just the Young Demon Lord, so he didn't ask any questions. But now that he thinks about it, the Holy Son must also be his younger brother.

So why does the younger brother treat Han Tianshuo differently?

Suddenly, Chu Chenhuan's vision began to turn red.

He knew in his heart that the poison had taken effect.

The Gu poison in Chu Chenhuan's body had already seeped into his meridians. Once it took effect, he could no longer think about anything else. He fell into a state of irrational madness for countless times, destroying everything around him until he was exhausted.

When Chu Chenhuan collapsed to the ground, the place was in complete disarray, as if a whirlwind had swept through.

In the silence, Yan An emerged from the shadows.

A white worm, which he had never seen before, was crawling on his hand.

This was naturally Chu Chenhuan's precautionary measure. Anyone who tried to approach him after he fell unconscious would find that the Gu worm had already crawled onto their body, and they would be poisoned by the Gu. If they didn't want to die, they would better stay put...

Unless one takes precautions beforehand or possesses such powerful internal and external martial arts skills that make them immune to all other worms, there is only one person in the world who can easily avoid being harmed by such a worm.

It turned out that after the two brothers had talked, Yan An had not actually left, but had secretly returned.

When Yan An was in the Hidden Demon Sect, he had seen people who specialized in raising Gu poison get poisoned by Gu, or suffer backlash from the Gu worms, or go into a state of demonic possession after making mistakes in practicing the Gu raising techniques.

Regardless of which type Chu Chenhuan is in, he clearly needs treatment as soon as possible.
