Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

“Yino, are we really just going to crash through the checkpoint like this?”

Flying above Western Province City, Yuyan looked back at the soldiers they’d left in the dust and sounded uneasy.

Beside her, Yino showed zero tension, just waved his hand dismissively:

“Why should we care about them? Entry inspections are such a pain in the ass. I remember getting locked up and interrogated by those old bastards for three days and nights!”

Thinking about the game’s protagonist and his treatment, Yino got pissed off all over again.

Back when he was playing Fallen Immortal, he’d finally managed to pull an all-nighter to refine the Heart of Pain from Volume 3. His character had unlocked the Abyss attribute and his cultivation had skyrocketed—everything was looking perfect.

But then what happened?

The moment Yino returned from the Demon Abyss, Western Province City’s guards grabbed him. Their excuse? They suspected he carried the aura of the Demon Abyss.

No choice—Yino got thrown in a prison and interrogated for three days and nights.

Later, Yuyan had to pull some strings for the protagonist. A local Immortal Alliance branch elder stepped in and finally got the protagonist bailed out of that hellhole.

In the game, Chen Jianxin got locked up for three days just for having an Abyss attribute.

Now, in this new life, Yino hadn’t just unlocked the Abyss attribute—he was a hardcore Full Moon Mother Goddess devotee with demon bloodlines…

How the hell could they inspect that?

One look and it’d be straight to death row!

So before entering the checkpoint, Yino had simply told Yuyan his plan to crash right through.

And it turned out he was right. At their sword-flying speed, they’d completely blindsided the gate guards!

By the time those guys caught up, Yino and Yuyan would already be way outside Western Province City’s jurisdiction.

Once they escaped Western Province City and reached Wuji Sect or the Grand Tutor’s Mansion’s sphere of influence, Yino and Yuyan would be untouchable.

Damn, they’re family—why would they inspect their own people?

Yuyan was the Sword leader of Wuji sect. Who would dare mess with her on immortal sect territory?

And Yino was the Grand Tutor’s Mansion’s Seventh Young Master. Once they reached the Central Plains region under the Great Dragon Dynasty’s influence, what city lord would be stupid enough to investigate the Grand Tutor’s Mansion’s young master?

“But…”

Yuyan still hesitated, wanting to say something.

She was a girl who’d grown up in the righteous path, always law-abiding and proper. All these years, Yuyan had been upright and feared no shadows, so naturally she’d never worried about any righteous institution’s investigation.

So Yuyan still instinctively didn’t want to break the law.

But when these noble thoughts came to her lips, Yuyan thought about Yino’s evil cultivator identity and figured he must have his reasons.

No choice

Yuyan sighed and kept quiet.

Meanwhile, Yino noticed his senior sister’s unease about breaking the law for the first time and continued explaining seriously:

“Don’t worry, what we’re doing really isn’t illegal.”

“Senior sister, you should know that these soldiers guarding Western Province City’s frontier strictly speaking only have jurisdiction within Western Province City. But we’re Wuji Sect cultivators. Even if we need inspection, it should be Immortal Alliance people doing it. After all, the Immortal Alliance is a nationally unified institution directly run by the Great Dragon Dynasty…”

“Forget it, this explanation’s getting complicated. Let me put it in simpler terms.”

At this point, Yino shrugged and smiled like a rogue: “Right now, senior sister and I are righteous heroes who conquered the Demon Abyss Mother Goddess’s heart. Our achievements will definitely be rewarded by Immortal Alliance headquarters… And what about those soldiers and elders in Western Province City? What can they offer us?”

“Since they’re not responsible for rewards and only have local authority, why should we waste time cooperating with their investigation? Going straight to Immortal Alliance headquarters to report is way more convenient.”

“Once the Immortal Alliance approves and stamps it, what can local power amount to? They wouldn’t dare rebel against the Immortal Alliance’s seal, would they?”

When Yino finished, he shrugged helplessly.

This sounded somewhat illogical, but reality was like this.

Yino was from the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, so he should find officials who knew the Grand Tutor’s Mansion to handle things.

If you get it, shut up and run.

If you don’t get it, then wait to be hassled by Western Province City’s local bullies…

“Yino, you really know everything. That rumored trash wastrel young master in Luo City must have been your deliberate act.”

Yuyan didn’t deal with official circles and didn’t understand the Great Dragon Dynasty’s internal institutions, but she got the gist and nodded admiringly at Yino.

Yino smiled faintly: “If I hadn’t pretended to be useless, how could I have had the chance to meet A beauty like you?”

“You… you’re doing it again…”

Her face flushed and she instinctively wanted to argue with Yino’s flirtatious words.

But when the words reached her lips, Yuyan thought about it and suddenly realized that Yino wasn’t kidding.

He first pretended to be a wastrel young master.

Then, the Grand Tutor’s Mansion cooperated with Wuji Sect, and the sect master sent Yuyan to the Grand Tutor’s Mansion to take disciples…

Finally, Yuyan got matched up with Yino.

If Yino had planned from the beginning to act like an idiot with the goal of marrying Yuyan, then in a way he really wasn’t lying! And he’d actually made Yuyan fall for him!

“But…”

“You’re so capable, you could’ve used other methods to approach me… like participating in sword tournaments and meeting me through swordmanship…”

Yuyan’s mind raced, still feeling this was all terrifyingly coincidental.

“I’m too lazy to compete with other men like it’s some martial arts tournament for marriage. Rather than trying to hit on senior sister and getting a cold shoulder, it’s way more convenient to just become senior sister’s junior and spend time together day and night!”

Yino smoothly spun his tale.
