Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Chapter 124 - 124: Ch 124 -

Seeing him trying hard not to laugh, Jinyue bit his neck again. But despite their playful bickering, she didn't really bite him hard, just left a row of round little teeth marks on his shoulder.

She clung to him, playfully biting his shoulder as they tumbled around in the forest depths.

After a while, Jinyue wiped her lips and looked up at the boy whose neck she was holding,

"Tell me, why aren't you afraid of me at all?"

She put away her playful demeanor and asked seriously. At the same time, she pressed the dagger against Yino's chin again to remind him that this weapon could take his life at any moment.

"If you really wanted to kill me out of anger, what good would fear do?" Yino replied nonchalantly.

Seeing cultivators

Every time Yino saw that smug expression of hers, he couldn't help but clench his fists, wanting to teach her a lesson and tie her up for a good scolding!

"Haha." "Are you angry? Already regretting it?" Jinyue's smile grew even more triumphant as she almost lay on Yino's chest, wagging her tail behind her while teasingly poking his nose with her finger.

Yino took a deep breath, feeling tormented by her antics. "If you write to Yuyan, I'll ensure that every elder of the major sects and even the immortal ministers of the Great Dragon Dynasty receive a list of charges against the Pleasure Demon."

"--?" Instantly, Jinyue's teasing smile froze. She narrowed her charming eyes and leaned down to stare at Yino's face, almost close enough to kiss him.

After a long gaze, Jinyue snorted coldly and straightened up, pretending not to care. "Bluffing. At most, you can make it hard for me in Wuji Sect. Do you really think you know my past identities elsewhere?"

"Why wouldn't I know?" She acted indifferent; Yino shrugged indifferently too.

Jinyue pouted angrily. "Then say one."

"Jianlan Sect— the saintess with ruined cultivation…"

Before Yino could finish speaking, Jinyue quickly covered his mouth. Her once proud eyes now showed shock deep within their blood-red pupils.

Jinyue attempted to use illusions to probe Yino's memory but soon felt a sharp pain and closed her eyes with a groan of discomfort.

Beneath her, Yino remained unfazed as he stared at her. "See? You're getting anxious again."

He smiled with satisfaction as golden holy marks on his hand glowed subtly as if he had been prepared all along.

Jinyue's eyes hurt terribly; she couldn't respond to Yino at all. But soon enough, Yino used his right hand's natural power to relieve her eye strain.

"I saved your life again; now you owe me two~"

"Why 'again'?" Jinyue blinked; though a bit aggrieved by being teased, her charming fox-like eyes still pouted defiantly.

Yino shrugged again and revealed a dagger hidden under his left sleeve: "If I had taken advantage just now, you'd probably be down already."

"With just a dagger? You think I'm that weak"

Jinyue crossed her arms defiantly but stopped mid-sentence when she noticed strange purple liquid on Yino's dagger.

"You! You even used poison? I didn't plan on poisoning you!"

For a moment there again Jinyue renewed understanding of villains through him—she felt too kind-hearted compared if it were him lying unconscious long ago already!

"What kind of poison do you think this is?"

"I don't know; it looks weird... Keep that thing away from me! What if it accidentally gets on me?!"

As Yino teased her while bringing the dagger closer to her face, scaring Jinyue so much that her face turned pale. Her body kept retreating, and even the three fox tails behind her fluffed up in fright. Seeing the foxgirl finally recite something, Yino sneered and put away his dagger. "This is a mental liquid that stimulates your nerves and expands your spiritual veins," he said casually. His gaze drifted from Jinyue's face to her delicate feet under the red dress. "But you should know what it feels like; you experienced it externally at the Mountain God Temple."

"Yino! So that night you did put something weird on my feet! No wonder they felt itchy and sensitive after you played with them!" Jinyue looked at him like he was a big pervert, hurriedly getting up from his lap, her peach blossom eyes showing both resentment and resistance. Before she could react, Yino suddenly grabbed her leg and threw her into the grass with a thud.

….

"What a strange thing!"

"Sister Yuyan said Gu Wanglan defected, but now the back mountain is sealed off, and we haven't found Gu Wanglan!"

"I heard from some cultivators searching the east that Gu Wanglan's tracks led to a cliff over there!"

"Did he jump off the cliff? No wonder we can't find him!"

"Forget it, let's not worry about that! Senior Sister also mentioned that her junior brother is searching the mountain with us. Has anyone seen a young disciple?"

"No? In this deep forest, there are no young disciples. The sect didn't allow ordinary disciples to come; only high-level cultivators qualified to join the Pavilion are here!"

As a few cultivators chatted while passing by the grass again, Yino finally released the struggling foxgirl's mouth.
