Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Chapter 79: Ch 79 - According to the rules II

"Let me think, what could Senior Sister do to repay me?" Yino deliberately dragged out the topic, his voice gentle like coaxing a child to sleep.

The atmosphere turned quiet and cozy. Yino could feel Yunjin gazing at him, her racing heartbeat gradually calming under his tender comfort.

After some thought, Yino finally had a good idea. "How about this - after this mission is over, Senior Sister can bring me down the mountain. We'll stop by your grandparents' house in the village for a meal. Then I'll..."

Yino smiled faintly as he spoke. But before he could finish, adorable snores came from the girl snuggled by his face.

Yino raised an eyebrow and glanced over. The ahoge that had been standing up now drooped down like a little tail, resting on the girl's peaceful, exhausted face.

-Fell asleep so fast? Is she faking?- Yino wondered suspiciously. Spending so much time with Jinyue made him wary that Yunjin might be tricking him.

But thinking it over, Yunjin had climbed Ranmo Peak to find Yino this morning. Now it was almost dawn the next day. She hadn't rested in at least 12 hours. Plus experiencing so many life-threatening situations tonight - for a normal human girl, persisting in chatting with Yino until now was already an impressive feat...

Instead, it was Yino who was too excited. Successfully making that deal with the Mother Goddess of Life last night had his cultivation at its peak. Even now, feeling the girl's alluring scent beside his pillow still made his heart race uncontrollably. Frankly...

As a virile young man, Yino had long been struggling to keep his little brother down. He kept peeking out at the night sky to distract himself. If Yunjin had taken a bit more initiative just now, Yino probably would've gone with the flow.

After all, His aunt strictly monitored things back at the Grand Tutor's mansion. She not only

With just a look, Gu Wanglan broke out in a cold sweat. "H-Holy Maiden... please give me another chance..."

He was at a loss for words, he could only stammer out a plea. "Do you know who stole the nine-colored deer?"

"Based on my investigation, the deer thief is most likely Chen Jianxin! So next, as long as we kill Chen Jianxin, we can--"

"Chen Jianxin?" This time, before Gu Wanglan could finish, the girl in the blood-red dress tilted her head doubtfully and interrupted him.

Meeting Gu Wanglan's trembling gaze, the girl brushed back the gray-white hair by her ear with one hand. At the same time, she narrowed her green right eye not covered by the bandage.

"Raise your head and look at me."

"Y-Yes!" Gu Wanglan carefully lifted his head.

In front of him, a murderous red light was reflected in the girl's eyes. After a moment of eye contact, the girl stared at the familiar illusion spell imprint in the depths of Gu Wanglan's eyes. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl into a cold smile of amusement. She narrowed her eyes.

"Heh, I knew it was her doing."

"Holy Maiden, who is she? What's going on?"

"It's nothing. You guessed right, it was Chen Jianxin." The girl in the blood-red dress sighed and waved her hand dismissively with disdain.

She casually tossed the blooming carnation to the ground and stepped on it. Then she said coldly, "Since we've confirmed it was Chen Jianxin, let's act swiftly and decisively."

"After tonight, I can help trigger the full moon night ahead of time. When Chen Jianxin returns, make the sacrifice as soon as possible."

Her words fell and she glanced back. lifted her leg, stepped into the teleportation gate, and vanished into the night.

As the gate closed, the carnation crushed under her foot withered and decayed. It ultimately turned into a puddle of milky white viscous liquid that seeped invisibly into the earth.
