Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

“Yino… how do you know my measurements…?”

Yuyan looked puzzled, getting that weird feeling like someone had been casing her place.

Actually, the outfit Yino gave her wasn’t that inappropriate. The skirt went past her knees, only showing her calves, and there were no flashy slits or cutouts. It was just that under the skirt where no one could see, the white silk lace trim on Yuyan’s thighs and the connected garter straps felt… indescribably embarrassing.

At least…

Besides Yino and Yuyan, no one else would know about the surprisingly provocative style hidden under that skirt.

But thinking about it this way made Yuyan’s face burn even redder. Just half an hour ago, she’d been fighting for her life with everything she had, but now she felt like Yino was operating on a completely different level of chill.

Or maybe…

Yino was already moving on to teasing his senior sister.

While Yuyan was still recovering from her near-death experience.

“Nothing to it—just lots of practice.”

Yino waved his hand casually, already focusing on checking Jinyue’s condition in his arms.

But his seemingly calm words made Liuli raise her eyebrows suspiciously.

Suddenly, with the other girl staring at her, Yuyan’s previously innocent mind instantly caught the meaning behind Yino’s words.

“You…”

Yuyan felt a wave of shame and instinctively covered her chest with her hands.

But just as she was about to speak with her face flushed red, Yino had already turned away, leaving Yuyan feeling frustrated as she swallowed her words.

Whatever… This pervert’s smooth talking wasn’t exactly new.

Besides, Yuyan used to be able to boss him around as his senior sister, but now that Yino wasn’t playing house with her anymore, what could she really do about him teasing her with his current power and status?

Come to think of it, Yuyan should have suspected his true strength long ago. After all, how could some powerless young man have the guts to constantly eye her body with such hunger?

And earlier, when she’d fallen into the abyss, Yuyan had been thinking that if there was a next life, she’d marry Yino.

Now she hadn’t died, and at her most desperate moment, she’d been saved by Yino’s light…

Logically, Yuyan should be keeping her deathbed promise and proposing to Yino herself.

So, since Yuyan was going to marry Yino anyway, wasn’t it more reasonable for her future husband to be familiar with his wife’s body?

“Mmm…”

Thinking about this, Yuyan let out a soft, embarrassed sound.

She sighed and swallowed her shame, offering sincere thanks: “Anyway, thank you for the outfit, Yino.”

Yino had already turned to settle old scores with Mei nearby.

But hearing Yuyan’s thanks, he suddenly turned back around.

Yuyan jumped at the sudden attention.

She pressed her lips together, her slightly flushed face quickly taking the opportunity to add: “And of course, for saving me today.”

“Really? How exactly does senior sister plan to thank me?”

Yino asked with a teasing smile.

At those words, the woman in Maid dress’s face turned even redder.

But this time, Yino only went so far. Before Yuyan could stammer out a response, he smiled diplomatically: “Just kidding. I should be thanking senior sister. Without the jade pendant you gave me, just the few of us probably wouldn’t have been a match for Mei and the Heart of Pain.”

Yino gave a very official response.

After that, he ruffled Jinyue head in his arms and continued toward Mei, who was still resting nearby.

The flower demon girl sensed Yino’s presence.

She looked up, her eyes much clearer now. First, after all this rest, Mei had recovered from her previous frenzied state. Second, Mei had witnessed Yino fighting alongside everyone else from start to finish.

Now… She was truly subdued, not even daring to meet Yino’s eyes, because it reminded her of all the mocking things she’d said to him half an hour ago.

“Well? Ready to admit defeat?”

Seeing Mei avoiding his gaze, Yino couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

He let Jinyue, who had transformed into her little fox form, perch on his shoulder while squatting down and using his divine left hand—the one that had just refined the Mother Goddess of pain’s heart—to touch Mei’s cheek.

This time, even though Mei had recovered much of her strength, being touched by Yino face-to-face scared her more than it had half an hour ago.

“Look, I’m Nascent Soul now.”

“Core Formation couldn’t conquer you, but maybe Nascent Soul can?”

Yino’s smile turned even gentler as he spoke.

With his hand on her face, Mei had no words. She could only bite her cherry lips silently, angry but not daring to speak.

“What do you want to do with me…?”

After grinding her teeth for a long time, she finally asked the crucial question.

Looking at Mei, Yino could guess what was going through her head.

She was a Divine Transformation flower demon.

If she wanted to, she could totally drain Yino’s essence dry with some organ that far exceeded human anatomy, like Liuli could. Or inject some special plant toxin into his vital organs at certain moments.

Liuli had already educated Yino about this beforehand.

Yino had dared to get close to Liuli because he already controlled her most precious thing—her sister, Lily.

But Mei didn’t have a similar weakness like a sister.

So…

Until he was sure of her loyalty, Yino wouldn’t casually touch Mei.

“It’s getting late. We’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other in the days ahead.”

Yino calculated the time—it was about when the protagonist would run away in the game. He smiled faintly and ruffled the flower demon girl’s white twin tails.

Mei was confused by the head-patting, still looking at Yino with suspicious eyes.

She couldn’t figure him out at all.

She’d thought Yino was after her body, but he’d only been pinching her face this whole time…

“In the days ahead, are you planning to take me back to Wuji Sect?”

Mei raised her eyebrows, asking curiously again.

But Yino shook his head, looking at Liuli: “Take you back to Wuji Sect for what? To expose myself as a demonic cultivator?”

“I’ve got other things to handle during this period, no time to babysit you.”
