Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Chapter 550: Ch 550 – I Am Her Destiny

“You’re back?”

With a smile in her voice, her meaningful tone seemed to be secretly bragging to Yino about how she had bullied his little wife at chess. Yino looked closely and saw that the white-robed beauty across the board already had a look of frustration on her face. It had been half a year, and although Yuyan’s chess skills had improved under Yino’s tutelage, she was still just a beginner. She was naturally no match for an old fox like Ye Chaerin who had lived for centuries.

“Yeah. Does Lady Chaerin want to know which important figure from the Liu mansion it was?”

Yino intentionally sat on the same long bench as Yuyan. Yuyan only glanced at his profile before understanding his intent, shifting her hips on the bench to make room for him.

“There’s nothing to be curious about. There are only a few people in Jiangnan who can be called important figures, and even fewer who would immediately try to poach you right after the National Advisor left.”

With a calm gaze, Ye Chaerin looked as if she had already guessed the result. Yino glanced at her and couldn’t help but sigh. “Lady Chaerin truly predicts things like immortals.”

“So what? No matter how much I calculate the heavens and the earth, didn’t I still fail to account for a little troublemaker like you?”

The green-robed beauty gave a light laugh. With her elbow resting on the edge of the table and her slender hand propping up her face, she studied Yino. Under the table, she also used the tip of her high heel to gently poke Yino’s calf. It was clear she was still dissatisfied because of the little interlude this morning where Yino had recounted her humiliating story to her face. Yino didn’t speak. With his eyes fixed on the chessboard, he remained silent.

“Senior Sister, move to the ninth spot on the third row.”

He spoke calmly. Yuyan had been worrying, but upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes blinked. She didn’t understand Yino’s logic, but after nearly a year together, she had already witnessed his skills and vision. She now possessed a deep, unquestioning rapport with every decision her man made.

“You were the one who taught Yuyan chess over the past half year, weren’t you?”

With her face still resting in her hand, Chaerin spoke with great interest.

“Yeah, that was the condition I set when I asked Senior to teach me swordsmanship.”

Yino spoke seriously while continuing to guide Yuyan’s moves. This time, because he was chatting with Chaerin, he didn’t speak the moves aloud. Instead, he reached out and took Yuyan’s delicate wrist to guide her hand across the board.

“Do you know that Mu Daosheng strictly forbade her from learning chess at the Wuji Sect?”

Ye Chaerin’s voice turned heavy.

“I know,” Yino nodded.

“You taught her chess without permission. Can you bear the responsibility for that?”

This time, Chaerin’s tone was visibly more serious. When she said this, Yino remained unmoved, but he could feel the body of the owner of the slender hand he was holding trembling slightly. Yino was sitting to Yuyan’s right. He used his right hand to guide her in chess, while his left hand quietly reached behind her to wrap around her slim waist. He gently caressed the beauty’s graceful, slender waist and belly to offer comfort.

“If I didn’t even have the courage to bear this much responsibility, how could I have captured Senior Sister’s heart?”

He looked up and responded with a smile. When Yino had put his arm around her waist in front of Chaerin earlier, Yuyan’s face had remained calm, as if she were already used to the young man’s restless hands. But when Yino spoke about taking responsibility for her, the cold and flawless face of the sword beauty was caught off guard and stained with a blush. Watching this scene and seeing the white-robed beauty blushing under Yino’s touch, Ye Chaerin couldn’t help but feel even more shocked. Indeed, seeing it with her own eyes was the most jarring.

“Yino, I still find it necessary to remind you, the fate your senior sister carries is much more complex and heavy than Ruoning’s.”

Chaerin spoke bluntly, not caring that Yuyan was sitting right there. As soon as these words were spoken, Yuyan’s hand visibly clenched under her sleeve. She didn’t mean to blame Chaerin, because she was well aware of everything Chaerin said. Yuyan was just worried that Yino would change his expectations of her after hearing this. But at the moment Yuyan was most nervous, the hand of the young man around her waist tightened its grip. He simply pulled Yuyan into his arms to lean against him, while also guiding her hand to make another game-turning move.

“That was before, when I wasn’t around.”

The black piece landed on the board. Ye Chaerin stared intently, only then realizing that in a place she hadn’t noticed, a dragon of black pieces that had been completely surrounded by white had suddenly found a chance to escape. Seeing that the situation had reversed, Yino couldn’t help but smile.

“Now that I’m here, I am Yuyan’s destiny!”

“…!!!”

….

Jinglan Peak.

Late at night, the lights in the small house in the back courtyard were bright. Ruoning was on the bed asking Yuyan about alchemy techniques. Outside the house, Yino had just been called out by the green-robed beauty. She handed Yino a letter stamped with a flame seal and sighed.

“Yino, a letter just arrived from the National Advisor. She wants you to go to the Dragon Palace to find her once you’ve finished the business at the Liuli Sect.”

“Yeah, I understand.”

Yino took the letter and nodded seriously. Under the moonlight, Ye Chaerin looked at his face. As if thinking of something, her face turned slightly red as she advised him in a low voice.

“You… don’t teach Ruoning anything too kinky tonight…”

“Otherwise, if you corrupt that child, I won’t be able to focus when I have to teach her after you’re gone!”

Hearing this, Yino couldn’t help but shrug and laugh.

“Don’t worry. Won’t I just come by often in the future?”

“You…”

“What? Is my lady perhaps jealous too?”

“In your dreams!”

“Wow, So noble. Back in the Illusion Realm, Lady Chaerin was right there in front of everyone….”

“Yino, you bastard! I am Ruoning’s Honored Master now!!!”
