Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

“I… I know that…”

Chaerin nodded obediently. She seemed to be getting confused by the new topic Yino had started.

What made her feel ashamed was that, as the Elder of the Liuli Sect, her fate was being controlled by a Nascent Soul stage boy again.

But if she thought about it…

Changli was an all-knowing High Celestial Master. She didn’t usually reveal the will of heaven. If she was willing to tell Yino about Chaerin’s fate, and Yino was willing to help her, did that mean Changli approved of their connection?

Yino was her disciple. If Chaerin was important to him, Changli might actually leak some secrets for his sake.

If Changli already knew Yino would be a part of her life…

Chaerin felt a chill as she thought about the implications.

But… but Yino is my disciple’s fiance…

“Lady Chaerin shouldn’t overthink it. This promise is my compensation for offending you and making you cry.”

“When the day of your Heavenly Tribulation comes, I will come and pull you out of the abyss.”

“Don’t look at me like I’m just a Nascent Soul stage…”

“Maybe in five or ten years, my Level will be higher than yours.”

Yino smiled gently. He couldn’t stand seeing her cry.

His words made her Dao heart shake even more.

“Compensation… is this compensation for me…”

She thought about the embarrassing things Yino said happened in the illusion.

Thinking back on that and then hearing his gentle promise, she felt a sense of security. She interpreted compensation as him taking responsibility.

She didn’t know how Yino truly felt about her-a woman who had tried to kill him and Ruoning…

But right now, she felt safe with him.

Yino was just a young disciple at the Nascent Soul stage, but his actions made her believe he really could save her in the future.

He wasn’t just talking big!

He had promised to help Ruoning survive her Heavenly Tribulation, and he had done it.

“Is that so… Yino, thank you…”

Chaerin’s voice became unusually soft. Even she was surprised by her own shyness.

She was a hundred-year-old Elder. She wasn’t a young girl anymore…

She thought her life would just be a repeat of the boring days the other old immortals lived. She never had the chance to experience the heart-fluttering feelings of a young girl, and she thought she never would.

But fate was unpredictable. She never thought she would make such a soft sound in front of a man.

What made it even more shameful was that he was her disciple’s fiancé!

“Yino!”

“You are not allowed to tell anyone about today!”

Chaerin suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Yino’s collar with red face.

Even though she had a higher Level, she didn’t use any strength. She just stood on her tiptoes and brought her beautiful face close to his.

“If you dare say a word….!”

She stopped, unable to finish the sentence.

Yino blinked, looking confused. “If I say a word?”

“If you dare say anything, I’ll strip your clothes off too! I’ll tie you to the gates of Luo City and spank you with a whip until your rear is covered in bruises!”

“Wait… I don’t think my version of the story involved stripping?”

“I don’t care! You definitely did everything you wanted in the illusion anyway! You must have already taken my virginity and my dignity and humiliated me completely!”

“No, no, no, I didn’t say that!”

“Yino, stop acting like a gentleman! Do you think I’m a naive girl like Ruoning? I did such terrible things to you and Ruoning. There’s no reason for you to feel guilty about doing whatever you wanted to me in the illusion!”

Chaerin’s face was bright red as she bit her lip. She finally let go of his collar as if she were accepting her fate.

“Since you said you’d compensate me, I won’t hold you responsible anymore…”

“We are even now! I tried to hurt you once, and you ruined my body…”

“In the future, if we truly have a connection, I won’t treat you poorly as long as you care!”

“Anyway…”

“You’ve tainted my Dao heart. I can’t marry anyone but you now.”

Yino:??? (·•᷄‎ࡇ•᷅ )???

***

Jinglan Peak, Courtyard.

After Chaerin left, Yuyan went to the bathhouse behind the courtyard. She used the spring water to wash away the mess left on her body.

Yuyan only washed the surface. She didn’t clean deep inside her core. While she was practicing the detoxification cultivation method with Yino, she had learned a female body alchemy technique from that book. She could use her own body as a cauldron to refine and absorb the essence.

Later, she and Yino had experimented with it in Luo City. The results were great.

From then on, she made sure to collect it. She told Yino to aim carefully and give her a direct hit so none of the high-purity experience points would be wasted.

Now, Yuyan had already started the refining process.

Yino had saved up a lot of Exp this time, so it would take longer to refine. It would be about twelve hours before she was finished.

Yuyan put on her white dress and tied a silk ribbon around her waist. She used a hairpin to put up her long black hair.

Once she was done, she gently rubbed her slightly bloated stomach. Her face turned red again.

“Senior Yuyan, good morning!”

“Is Yino still inside?”

A group of girls arrived at the courtyard.

Yuyan looked over and saw the four or five girls that Changli had kicked down the mountain last night. They had all come to visit.

She puffed out her cheeks, feeling a bit jealous of them. But then she let out a breath and tightened her core. Spiritual runes appeared under her white clothes. She gave a slightly proud huff and closed her eyes.

“My husband was called to the snow pavilion at the peak by Lady Chaerin. He hasn’t come back yet…”

“If you girls are worried about husband, feel free to come in and sit. I’ll make some tea for everyone on his behalf.”

Xinyao: ?

Ruoning: ?

Jinyue: Hmph…

Yuebai: …

Lily: …

Wangxue: ?_!

The little deer raised her hands. “Sister Yuyan! Wangxue can smell really thick spiritual energy in the room! You and Master must have eaten something delicious without me!!!”

Yuyan: ?!!

Everyone: ?

“Sister Yuyan, you have to share the good stuff! Wangxue wants to eat too!!!”
