REBORN AS A VILLAINOUS CANNON FODDER

“…?”

Yuyan felt the tender moment between her and Yino being shattered.

Looking back, she saw a green-haired girl standing there, her hair disheveled in the wind. Those stunningly beautiful yet cold azure eyes were fixed intently on the white-robed youth in Yuyan’s arms.

Without realizing it, under Ruoning’s piercing gaze, Yuyan unconsciously tightened her grip on Yino’s hand.

Though young, those eyes belonged to a tigress. Yuyan felt like Ruoning could devour Yino whole at any moment – which perfectly matched how she’d acted before the secret realm opened.

Yuyan wanted to snap back, but the words died on her lips. She realized anything she said would be inappropriate.

First off, she was just Yino’s senior sister.

Secondly, though Ruoning’s tone was harsh, she was fundamentally worried about Yino being ostracized at Wuji Sect if he lost his cultivation. Her intentions were ultimately for his benefit.

In truth, Ruoning’s feelings for Yino ran much deeper than Yuyan’s. While Yuyan was still weighing practical concerns about how Yino would survive at Wuji Sect without his powers, Ruoning didn’t bother with such considerations. She straight up declared Yino could marry her and live off her if he lost his cultivation. The Liu family was one of Jiangnan’s most prestigious houses, yet she didn’t care one bit about being criticized for marrying someone powerless.

Given all these factors, Yuyan found herself speechless.

She even felt that after their time in the secret realm, Ruoning’s feelings for Yino had grown more sincere than before!

The old Ruoning had carried herself with arms crossed, looking down on him with a condescending attitude.

But now her eyes held a new clarity – she had truly fallen for Yino and wanted to compete with Yuyan for his affection. This proved Yanran wasn’t lying – Yino must have really shown his capabilities in the secret realm. In comparison, Yuyan felt like she was just occupying space without contributing anything. Here was this Jiangnan heiress throwing herself at Yino, yet he’d chosen to give his most precious Azure Source Heart to Yuyan instead…

According to Ruoning, Yino’s fixation on Yuyan stemmed entirely from her black stockings and mature figure. Previously, Yuyan hadn’t given much thought to such matters, only occasionally teasing Yino about being a little pervert.

But now that Ruoning had spelled it out, Yuyan had to admit there was truth to it. After all, from their very first meeting, Yino’s gaze had constantly wandered to her legs.

He wasn’t being hypocritical – he genuinely loved his senior sister’s black stockings, maintaining that appreciation consistently from their first encounter without trying to hide it.

If it wasn’t for that specific attraction, Yuyan couldn’t think of anything else about herself that would appeal to Yino.

In terms of personality, she had no idea how to please men.

In terms of family background, she was just an orphan while Ruoning came from nobility.

In terms of talent and bloodline, Ruoning was Jiangnan’s chosen one. Even just considering continuing the immortal family line, Yuyan wasn’t necessarily the best choice – Ruoning would be a more suitable match.

So Yino must be pursuing her so ardently because of her figure!

Thinking this, Yuyan’s cheeks flushed pink. Though it was a rather crude and superficial matter, as time passed she found it increasingly difficult to ignore Yino’s feelings.

Not wanting to argue with Ruoning, she just turned to give Yino a sidelong glance—

“?_?”

Yino had been sneaking peeks at his senior sister’s ample chest, but the moment he noticed the beauty turning towards him, he quickly shifted his gaze up to meet her eyes, trying to act natural.

In that moment, as Yuyan looked at Yino, her own blush deepened.

Though one hand still held Yino’s, her other hand unconsciously moved to shield her chest. Every time she thought about her earlier conclusions and Yino’s constant staring, Yuyan felt a tingling sensation in her chest, her heart racing and her body trembling slightly.

“Senior Sister, Ruoning’s just speaking harshly out of concern for me. Don’t take it to heart…”

“Besides, how could your junior brother be so crude as to only be interested in your body? I’ve always appreciated Senior Sister’s inner beauty!”

Yino sighed, his face the picture of sincerity.

Actually, Ruoning wasn’t entirely wrong. Besides his attraction to Senior Sister’s figure, Yino’s main reason for investing the Azure Source Heart in Yuyan was that after the Azure Forest incident, the Demon Abyss crisis in the Western Regions would soon erupt.

In Volume 3 of the game – the Demon Abyss arc – when the original protagonist was pushed into the abyss by Jinyue, it was Yuyan who made her grand entrance as the female lead, cutting through enemy lines to save the protagonist and helping him resolve the crisis.

Now, though the original protagonist was dead, Yino was still alive!

Investing in Yuyan now not only earned her goodwill and affection, but essentially bought insurance for Volume 3 and beyond!

“Never mind, you don’t need to comfort me like this… After these months together, I’ve actually grown used to you looking at my body…”

Yuyan sighed, shaking her head with a lingering blush.

She wasn’t stupid. Yino could talk all he wanted about liking her inner beauty, but even she didn’t believe that nonsense. What inner beauty could possibly exist in a boring woman who only thought about revenge for her clan and spent her time practicing cultivation and playing chess? As far as Yuyan was concerned, besides having a voluptuous body that Yino could get handsy with during massages, she hadn’t left him with any other good impressions.

If anything, it was Yino who had gradually proven his appeal to Yuyan through his inner qualities.

Sure, Yino was handsome, but there were plenty of beautiful people in the world. He didn’t need to limit himself to Yuyan – with the Grand Tutor’s Mansion’s resources, finding several beautiful immortal wives with hot figures wouldn’t be difficult.

But Yuyan couldn’t find another junior like Yino who was both good at chess and interesting.
