Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Yuyan thought she wasn\'t the succubus type, but Yino was the real charmer. Otherwise, how could he always effortlessly connect with different women, no matter where or when?

What really bugged Yuyan was how he could make those young girls blush with just a few minutes of conversation like they were discussing something scandalous.

"Holy cow!"

Yino was startled by the sudden chill behind him. He turned around, swallowed hard, and remembered he was just chatting with Sera about something mind-blowing. He looked guilty.

"Senior Sister, how do you always walk so quietly? You scared me, popping up out of nowhere."

"Is it that I\'m quiet, or were you too caught up flirting with Sera?"

Yuyan couldn\'t help but laugh at Yino\'s reaction. She tapped her high heels under her skirt, and the crisp, oddly pleasant sound left Yino speechless.

Thinking about it, Yuyan\'s footsteps were always there in the background. But Yino was so engrossed in the conversation with Sera that he missed them.

"But Senior Sister, I wasn\'t flirting with miss Sera..."

Yino hid his hands behind his back and started whistling nervously.

Yuyan gave him a skeptical look, then glanced at the shy girl hiding behind Yino, who was even more flushed than Yunjin was back then. "Then why were your lips so close to her face?"

"I was discussing something with Senior Sera!"

"Discussing what?"

"A manuscript."

"What kind of manuscript?"

Yuyan crossed her arms and tapped her heel rhythmically, her questions sounding perfectly reasonable.

It wasn\'t until Yino\'s face showed confusion that the white-robed fairy realized how strange their conversation was getting. "Senior Sister... I didn\'t do anything wrong... You\'re being too nosy."

Yino squinted his eyes, feeling oddly pleased that he\'d somehow turned the tables on Yuyan.

Yuyan bit her lip, unsure how to respond. Indeed, as his senior, not his lover, she had no right to interfere in his personal life.

Sera wasn\'t Yunjin, and she didn\'t have a deep relationship with Yuyan. There was no real reason for her to meddle in Yino\'s affairs.

After a brief silence, Yuyan finally spoke, stopping her heel tapping:

"Yino, do you think I\'m nosy because I care about you?"

Yino\'s smug smile froze. His heart skipped a beat, feeling like he\'d gone too far, yet Yuyan\'s words stirred something within him.

He fell silent, his gaze fixed on Yuyan\'s beautiful eyes. "Yes..."

He whispered.

But just as Yino lost his confidence, Yuyan suddenly smiled. "Then you guessed right."

"It\'s because I care so much that I\'m always looking out for you, making sure you don\'t go around flirting with every girl you meet."

Yino\'s eyes widened, and so did Sera\'s, who was watching from the side, her mouth agape in surprise.

Yuyan felt no embarrassment. She had learned that when you don\'t know how to save face, sincerity is the ultimate weapon to capture hearts.

"If you don\'t want me to care, if you want to be like those worldly disciples from the Rising Monarch Pavilion, idling away and chasing after new junior sisters..."

"You can just tell me. I won\'t bother you anymore. Live how you want, just don\'t die."

Somehow, Yuyan regained the upper hand, her tone now commanding the respect of a true mentor.

She had the authority to do so, as Mu Daosheng was rarely around to guide, leaving her to play both senior sister and mentor to Yino since he joined the Wuji Sect.

However, Yuyan seemed to cleverly dodge Yino\'s earlier point.

Regardless, Yino was now genuinely intimidated.

"Senior Sister... You know, I joined the Wuji Sect because I admired you..."

He admitted sincerely.

But just as Yuyan was satisfied with her little victory, a pair of small panda eyes peeked out from behind Yino.

"Um... Senior Sister, I think... you might have misunderstood Mr. Yino..."

Sera couldn\'t stand by any longer. Although shy, her sense of justice compelled her to speak up.

The atmosphere got weird again.

"?"

Yuyan looked puzzled, the scene eerily familiar to when Yunjin had stood up for Yino on Ranmo Peak.

Was this another coincidence?

Despite lacking a reason, Yuyan was even more convinced that Yino had some kind of succubus charm. "Actually, Brother Yino was asking me to help with a painting..."

Sera said softly.

The word "painting" made her blush again. She remembered how Yino initially mentioned "life drawing," but somehow the conversation turned to drawing something risqué of Yuyan. Of course, Sera had her principles and never agreed to draw anything too revealing.

With that in mind, Sera felt a renewed sense of justice, her gaze towards Yuyan no longer guilty.

After all, she was a principled artist!

"A painting?"

Yuyan was drawn back into the conversation.

But before Sera could explain, Yino quickly stepped in, looking even more guilty.

"Yeah! Yeah! A painting!"

"Yino, why are you sweating so much?"

Yuyan raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued by the strange chemistry between Yino and Sera.

"What kind of painting did you ask Sera to make?"

Honestly, Yuyan was baffled. In just half an hour she was away, what had Yino talked about with Sera to bring them so close so quickly?

But then, Yuyan remembered the night they played chess, and her inner questions were answered almost entirely.

Yino did have a strange charm, often saying shocking things. Whether you liked or hated him, he always managed to capture your attention.

Living under the same roof, seeing him every day, you might start to find his face more appealing over time. If he suddenly wasn\'t around, life might feel dull without his mischievous presence.

"Actually, Brother Yino wanted me to sketch Senior Sister Yuyan!"

Seeing Yino getting more flustered, Sera bit her lip and stepped forward to reveal the truth. Well, half of it, anyway.
