Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

"Wait."

At some point, Yuyan finally realized the reason for her unease.

She had ridden the nine-colored deer quite far. Now looking back, she suddenly realized that the young man who had princess-carried her onto the little deer was still standing in the same spot

"Yino?"

Yuyan couldn\'t help calling out.

Seeing Yino\'s figure gradually receding into the distance, her beautiful eyes widened. Her fairy like face, originally full of wariness towards intimate physical contact, now couldn\'t hide a trace of reluctance to part ways after being suddenly abandoned.

"Senior Sister! You go back and rest well with Wangxue first!"

"I just saw many of our sect\'s cultivators have already arrived. I want to go help and see if I can assist everyone in tracking down Gu Wanglan\'s whereabouts!"

Under the night sky, the young man deliberately didn\'t mention revenge, only waving at Yuyan with a gentle smile.

Of course, he also didn\'t respond to his senior sister\'s call and chase after her.

"Yino! You\'re not allowed to go!"

"I said before not to let you go!"

Yuyan lightly bit her red lips, clenching her fists, and shouted somewhat angrily.

But as her words fell, the young man only lowered his eyelids, looking a bit tired.

He gave a faint smile and turned to walk towards the ruins of the mountain temple.

In an instant, Yuyan\'s beautiful face, still flushed with embarrassment, seemed to lose all emotion.

"Yino! Come back now! The back mountain is dangerous!"

"Hey!! Stop messing around! Your Senior Sister is ordering you to come back--!!!"

Yuyan finally became anxious. While she showed anger and embarrassment, her beautiful eyes couldn\'t hide a trace of fear called

loss

. She reached out towards the young man\'s receding back, spreading her fingers, trying with all her might to grab him back to her side. But with Yuyan\'s weakened body now, she couldn\'t even walk, let alone catch up to the young man\'s steps.

Until she could no longer see the young man\'s back in her field of vision, Yuyan\'s red lips trembled slightly, and two lines of tears finally slid down from her clear, beautiful eyes -

"If you get in trouble again, I won\'t be able to protect you anymore..."

…

Under the moonlight.

Gu Wanglan walked down the steep slope alone, trembling.

Since escaping from the mountain temple, Gu Wanglan had been running for his life. Now the barrier at the back mountain of Wuji Sect was right in front of his eyes.

But the drug\'s effect in Gu Wanglan\'s body had worn off, and an unprecedented feeling of fatigue swept over him, causing the originally sprinting and leaping Gu Wanglan to fall to the ground, crawling pathetically.

"Damn it..."

"The sect\'s cultivators are about to catch up..."

"The back mountain\'s barrier is about to be sealed too!"

Gu Wanglan supported himself with his last willpower, took out a long sword from his waist to use as a crutch, and walked towards the outside of the barrier with difficulty.

But just as his willpower was at its weakest, footsteps came from the top of the slope not far behind him.

"--?!"

Gu Wanglan turned his head abruptly and saw the figure of a young man with black and red eyes, reflecting greedy murderous intent, among the trees on the high ground.

In an instant, Gu Wanglan\'s adrenaline surged, and he no longer felt tired. He practically rolled and crawled, running like mad. He ran a long way, panting heavily. Fortunately, his Nascent Soul cultivation prevented Gu Wanglan from fainting on the spot.

But just as Gu Wanglan knelt on the ground to rest, he suddenly heard leisurely footsteps not far behind him again.

--!!!!!

Gu Wanglan looked back, his pupils shaking, and sure enough, that eerie young man was still standing not far away, staring at him!

"Damn it! Persistent ghost!"

Gu Wanglan ran away again.

But after a long time, they encountered each other once more at the border of Wuji Sect\'s back mountain.

Gu Wanglan saw that his token had been deactivated by the sect leader and couldn\'t break through the back mountain\'s barrier. He finally lost all hope of survival and knelt in front of the young man in despair--

"What the hell do you want from me?!"

"You didn\'t kill me, you didn\'t capture me, you\'re so wishy-washy... What are you following me for?!"

Gu Wanglan roared in a breakdown.

But to his disbelieving gaze, the young man just laughed coldly, walked up, and used his own sect jade pendant to help Gu Wanglan break through the barrier.

??????

Gu Wanglan was completely dumbfounded now, full of question marks, looking at the young man as if he had seen a ghost. In his lifetime, he had never encountered such a bizarre fellow.

"Why??"

Gu Wanglan blinked, kneeling on the ground, looking up at Yino.

"You chased me all this way just to help me use your token to break through the barrier?"

"Of course not. I chased you because you were running too slowly."

The young man\'s tone was a bit lazy.

He glanced back at the still foolishly kneeling Gu Wanglan and couldn\'t help clicking his tongue in disgust at this waste of space.

There was no choice. The young man walked up, grabbed Gu Wanglan\'s remaining left arm, and forcefully dragged the exhausted Gu Wanglan all the way outside the border.

After that, before Gu Wanglan could react, he suddenly found himself at the edge of a cliff.

"Since you\'re out, hurry up and scram."

"If you die in the back mountain, there will be no one to inherit Chen Jianxin\'s sword dao holy body."

Behind Gu Wanglan, the young man spoke coldly, his gaze like he was looking at a corpse. Rather than hatred or anger, the young man seemed more dissatisfied with littering.

Upon hearing this, Gu Wanglan suddenly understood something, as if countless puzzling details in his mind had connected into a single line!

-No wonder!-

-No wonder he never finished me off from beginning to end!-

-It turned out that he wasn\'t satisfied with snatching my sacrificial gains twice and wasn\'t even willing to let go of my last bit of value in taking the blame in the future!-

For a moment, Gu Wanglan felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation.

He had never taken Yino seriously from start to finish and had never even noticed Yino\'s presence. But from a first-person perspective, all of Gu Wanglan\'s plans had long been seen through by Yino. He had lost completely and could even say that the moment Gu Wanglan destroyed Snow Village and captured the nine-colored deer, he had already become a pawn in Yino\'s plan!

"You... Who are..."

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?"

To be schemed against to this extent, Gu Wanglan finally admitted complete defeat, no longer even feeling resentment, only fear towards a monster beyond human imagination.

The young man remained silent, just coldly watching him.

"Wait!"

At some point, Gu Wanglan also got up, trembling as he looked at the cliff\'s edge in front of him, a deep abyss ten thousand feet deep.

In just an instant, the terrifying height made Gu Wanglan back away.

"Didn\'t you say you were going to let me run?!"

"You dragged me here, where do you want me to run to?!"

He seemed to have thought of something, kneeling on the ground, his face full of fear and unease.

But when Gu Wanglan looked back, the expressionless young man finally curled his lips into an inhuman, sinister cold smile--

"Don\'t worry, there must be good things at the bottom of this abyss!"

"In my past life, I read an amazing cultivation novel. The protagonist in it was also pushed into an abyss by a villain. And then, he was blessed with good fortune! He actually fell into an ancient temple at the bottom of the abyss and was unexpectedly saved and embraced by a peerlessly beautiful Phoenix Spirit Master. From then on, the man and the phoenix had a fated romance..."

The young man looked up at the moon, recounting the game\'s plot that Gu Wanglan couldn\'t understand at all, with endless aftertaste.

Accompanied by the demonic light of a blood moon, the young man\'s cold eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting a trace of morbidly crazy yearning -

"It\'s said that their ending was very happy! That Phoenix Spirit Master gave birth to nine eggs for the protagonist in one go!"

He spoke in rapture, but his hand pressed down hard on Gu Wanglan\'s head.

"Hehe..."

"I believe that if Senior Brother Gu, who doesn\'t submit to fate, falls into the abyss, he will surely encounter such blessings in the future!"
