Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Less than a month ago, she was still waving her handkerchief with tears in her eyes, watching Yino being taken away by Yuyan from Wuji Sect.

Now, upon learning that Yino had gone to see Jinyu, Xinyao\'s mood greatly improved. She casually dismissed Zi Chen with a few words, then returned to her room and sat at her dressing table to carefully groom herself.

Although she heard from Jinyu that the young master had brought along a lovely girl, her joy outweighed her jealousy. Xinyao didn\'t take this small matter to heart - Yino was a little virgin who hadn\'t even held hands with a girl outside, let alone after just half a month at Wuji Sect. At most, it was probably just a fellow cultivator traveling with him to Western Province City.

How could he possibly bring a girlfriend?

Thinking of this, Xinyao\'s mood became even more beautiful.

After reapplying her makeup, she went to her wardrobe and chose a dress from the Western Region with lighter fabric and a slit design that would reveal glimpses of a young girl\'s fair legs when worn.

Not only that, Xinyao specially used creamy white foundation to cover the faint golden patterns on her legs and arms, then applied a layer of slightly pinkish rouge on her knees and ankles as accents. Continue your journey on m|v-l\'e -NovelBin.net

After these preparations, Xinyao jumped back onto the long bench behind the curtain, posed elegantly, and then confidently beckoned to Jin Jie, who was standing guard in the corner, to open the door for Yino.

"...?"

The black-clad woman frowned, watching her mistress\'s careful preparations with an incredulous expression, and finally sighed helplessly before obeying the command.

When Yino just stepped into the hall, Xinyao\'s heart also began to race.

She wasn\'t nervous, just excited. Even her little mouth, coated with pink lipstick under the red vine mask, curved slightly upward.

Surely, Yino, who grew up pampered in the Grand Tutor\'s Mansion, would now be meeting a big shot from the jianghu like the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master for the first time!

Xinyao was already looking forward to seeing the young man enter the room, be frightened by her phoenix eyes behind the mask, hurriedly tremble and kneel at her feet, not daring to raise his head to look at her directly... -This would be so interesting-!

The more Xinyao thought about it, the more excited she became. After all, since the day she sent Yino away, she had been planning - how to tease and play with Yino in her identity as the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master when the time came.

Thinking of this, the young girl playfully moved her jade feet under her skirt, feeling smug.

Outside the curtain, the black-clad young man knelt on one knee and suddenly spoke -

"I want three Nine Revolutions Soul Tempering Pills!"

"?"

Instantly, the smile on Xinyao\'s lips froze.

She doubted her ears. At most, Yino would only be at the Qi Refinement stage. Even if Yuyan was amazing enough to teach him Foundation Establishment, this little guy still wouldn\'t possibly have the qualifications to come into contact with Nine Revolutions Soul Tempering Pills. Those were high-level pills that could only be used for cultivating soul-based techniques.

Moreover...

Nine Revolutions Soul Tempering Pills were a specialty of the Western Region\'s Demon, belonging to the category of pills explicitly forbidden for trade by the Great Dragon Dynasty. How could Yino, as the young master of the Grand Tutor\'s Mansion, open with such a heavyweight request?

"If that\'s not possible, I\'ll give you this whole bottle. Can I just have one Nine Revolutions Soul Tempering Pill?"

Seeing that the red-robed young woman behind the curtain remained silent, Yino also realized he might have asked for too much. He immediately lowered his stance and said with a pleading tone.

In fact, when he learned of this address on the top floor of the Phoenix Pavilion, Yino had already guessed the identity of the mysterious big shot his aunt mentioned.

The Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master, known in the jianghu as Hundred Things Spirit, was a mysterious merchant in the game who would only become available to players after unlocking the Western Region map and starting the [Demon Abyss] main storyline.

As a mysterious merchant, the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master\'s identity was naturally a mystery, but who she was didn\'t matter. What mattered was that she could help various clients from the Great Dragon Dynasty import many prohibited drugs or special materials that were only produced in the Western Region.

In the game\'s world setting, the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master was similar to a middleman doing smuggling business on the Western Region border.

In the early stages of the [Demon Region] main storyline, players mainly bought medicine from the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master and then went to the Western Region to gain experience.

In the later stages of the [Demon Region] main storyline, players could also purchase various intelligence about the Western Region from the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master, with each piece of intelligence corresponding to a dungeon with rich rewards.

In short, the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master seemed to have some special channels. As long as the price was right, she could fulfill any request related to the Western Region.

It was precisely because of this that Yino opened with a request for a prohibited drug from the Western Region - the Nine Revolutions Soul Tempering Pill.

This was good stuff. It could not only improve Yino\'s control over soul power but also increase the efficiency and benefits of Yino\'s sacrifices to the Mother Goddess of Life.

However...

Judging from the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master\'s delayed response, it seemed that Yino had overestimated his aunt\'s personal connections.

"Young Master, how do you know about the Nine Revolutions Soul Tempering Pills?"

Suddenly, the red-robed young girl behind the curtain spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Yino immediately frowned, feeling somewhat confused.

In the game, the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master was just a businessperson who accepted customers from both legal and illegal circles without discrimination, and never questioned their identity or purpose when doing business.

Yino knew this, which was why he directly asked for the prohibited drug without any concealment.

But now...

The other party actually asked a question in return?

This wasn\'t logical!

In the game, when the Holy Son of the Jianlan Sect came to buy prohibited drugs, although the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master knew his identity, she didn\'t bother to ask for details at all!

"I\'ve heard... that visitors to the Hundred Spirits Pavilion are all customers, and the Pavilion Master only discusses the price, not asking about one\'s background or destination..."

Yino said with lowered eyebrows, feeling somewhat troubled.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful young girl behind the curtain couldn\'t help but twitch her lips.

Meeting the young man\'s unsparing gaze, she secretly clenched her fist. Behind the red vine mask that seemed to be haughtily scrutinizing, she was nearly grinding her teeth in anger - not only did he ask to buy prohibited drugs, but he also casually offered to trade an entire bottle of her favor that she had painstakingly accumulated for a long time!

-Yino, you ungrateful brat!-

-The token I personally gave you when you left, you\'re so heartlessly trying to sell it off, without even considering keeping at least one Vine as a memento?-

"Sigh..."

Behind the curtain, the red-robed young girl sighed.

She changed her sitting posture under her skirt, then pretended to be indifferent and said lightly, "If it were an outsider, that would indeed be the case."

"But Young Master, you are... the most cherished young master of that friend of mine. Please forgive me for not being able to sell you such dangerous prohibited drugs."

"But..."

Yino\'s lips twitched, feeling frustrated by this response, "But isn\'t your Hundred Spirits Pavilion specifically dealing in prohibited drugs from the Western Region? If you don\'t sell these illegal things, what else can you sell?"

"...?"
