Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Jinyue couldn\'t help but stare at Yanran\'s enormous bosom as she spoke, clicking her tongue in envy despite her usually seductive eyes.

Yanran\'s cool gaze shifted subtly. She glanced down at her own massive breasts that couldn\'t be contained even when hugging herself, then at the foxgirl\'s petite buns that could fit in one hand. Somehow, the implied mockery didn\'t anger her as much anymore.

Rolling her eyes, she looked away magnanimously, not bothering to argue with Jinyue.

"A cow like you who\'s tamed by fate, will never understand Yino\'s charm!"

"Just wait and see tonight."

Amidst the snowy night, the foxgirl\'s cold laughter rang out.

With those parting words, she turned and waved her hand, dissolving into thousands of red petals that vanished from the white-haired girl\'s sight.

After Jinyue left, Yanran stood alone in the whirling snow. She reached out to catch a few crimson peach blossoms as her beautiful eyes gradually lowered.

Yanran felt she had been scolded for no reason.

She had no idea which of her words had hit Jinyue\'s sore spot, causing her to suddenly lash out in anger.

Perhaps it\'s true what they say in books:

The smaller a person\'s chest, the smaller their capacity for tolerance, and the more irritable their personality.

However...

"Yino is the one who will break the prophecy?"

Recalling Jinyue\'s description, Yanran couldn\'t help but think of her stubborn junior sister, the genius sword immortal who insisted on secluding herself to study chess.

But that momentary musing was interrupted by a flash of blood-stained chess manuals in her mind\'.

Yanran\'s jade-like hand trembled as she hurriedly discarded the peach blossoms, her massive bosom heaving even faster.

"Only a silly girl like Yuyan would believe such an absurd fairy tale."

...

...

...

"Brother Yino, it seems Sister Jinyue really didn\'t catch up to us."

"Let\'s go back and check on her. I\'m worried she might have encountered some danger...!"

Beside an open-air hot spring at the peak of Luo Snow Mountain, Yunjin\'s cowlick drooped as she gazed at the snow-covered ruins below with concern.

Next to the girl, Yino had already removed his top, fully relaxed as he soaked in the hot spring with his eyes closed.

Hearing Yunjin\'s fretting, he yawned out of boredom:

"Don\'t worry, nothing will happen to Jinyue. For all we know, she might have already run into Chen Jianxin passing by below and decided to tag along with him to explore clues about the snowy village."

"But when we retraced our steps back to the village entrance earlier, we couldn\'t find any trace of her... Out here in the middle of nowhere, how can you not be worried about her at all?"

A cold wind blew past, making Yunjin shiver. She lifted her pant legs and carefully dipped her chilled little feet into the steaming hot spring to warm up.

Yino glanced at her rippling jade-like feet and thought of the pitiful girl from the original game who searched for the nine-colored deer only to die together with it at the mountain\'s temple.

Looking at Yunjin\'s worried puppy eyes, then comparing her to a certain foxgirl who nearly got Chen Jianxin killed in the original plot...

Wasn\'t it obvious who he should and shouldn\'t be worried about?

"It\'s because Jinyue is way smarter than Senior Sister."

Yino stated calmly, gazing at the moonlight.

Yunjin blinked, lowering her eyes to look at Yino\'s body revealed by the hot spring. "Young Master means that Yunjin is not smart...?"

Her voice was small and her cheeks flushed slightly. Although they were discussing a serious topic, she couldn\'t help but be drawn to the eight-pack abs usually hidden beneath the boy\'s shirt.

After entering the snowy village, Yunjin wasn\'t very good with directions either. She simply followed Yino as they explored, eventually discovering this steaming hot spring at the mountaintop before nightfall.

Yino said they would rest here for the night. Yunjin thought that meant camping out on bedrolls, but she never imagined Yino would directly take off his top, sit in the hot spring wearing only shorts, and start enjoying himself.

Although guys only need to cover their lower body, Yunjin now felt that just Yino\'s upper body was stimulating enough for her innocent heart.

Besides... Is this really the normal physique for a 16-year-old boy?

"I heard from my family\'s omnipotent auntie that the hot springs in this snowy village can not only heal wounds but also restore spiritual energy... Senior Sister, are you sure you don\'t want to come in and soak for a bit?"

Yino stretched lazily, naturally changing the subject.

Yunjin blushed at the sight and quickly waved her hands in refusal:

"N-no, it\'s okay. I only brought this one set of clothes. If they get wet, I won\'t have anything to change into..."

"That\'s true. Then just soak your feet at least. It should help relieve the fatigue from climbing the mountain today."

Yino sighed with a hint of regret, wishing he had asked Yuyan for a set of women\'s bathrobes before leaving Ranmo Peak.

The two fell silent, serenely enjoying the healing effects of the hot spring.

As a wisp of cloud obscured the crescent moon, Yino who had been leaning against the rocky edge without a word, suddenly opened his eyes:

"Senior Sister, hold onto this jade pendant for me."

He removed a black and white ink-wash style jade pendant tied with a red string from his chest and handed it to the silly girl beside him.

Yunjin looked puzzled as she carefully took it and cradled it in her palms:

"This is... Senior Sister Yuyan\'s jade pendant?"

"Don\'t worry, it\'s nothing valuable, just used for staying in touch... Keep it safe for me for now. I suddenly feel like going out to take a leak. I\'ll be right back."

Yino sat up, dried himself with a towel, then put on a clean set of clothes and donned his black windproof coat.

At the same time, Yunjin also sat up, her eyes filled with worry as she hesitated to speak.

"Then... then be careful..."

"Senior Sister, you should stay put right here. Keep the jade pendant safe for me and don\'t foolishly run off to look for me out of concern... Otherwise, if we get separated in the mountains, it\'ll be troublesome!"

Yino instructed her very seriously.

Yunjin obediently nodded, but for some reason, she still felt an indescribable sense of unease in her heart, as if Yino would disappear forever into the snowy night once he left this time.

"Yunjin, you know what?"

Yino finished packing his gear but didn\'t hurry to leave. Instead, he walked behind Yunjin.

He took the jade pendant the girl clutched in her palm, untied the red string, and personally fastened it around her fair neck.

With that done, Yino placed his hands on Yunjin\'s shoulders and smiled: "When we came to the snowy village this time, Sister Yuyan specifically told me to protect you well—She said that Yunjin is kindhearted and too naive, often helping others without regard for her own safety. If this silly girl leaves Wuji Sect, she\'ll easily be tricked by those ill-intentioned scoundrels out there."

"Did... did Senior Sister really say that?"

Yunjin touched the jade pendant on her chest, feeling a bit flattered and blushing for some reason.

Yino smiled charmingly and pinched her round little face:

"Just kidding. Actually, she warned me not to let you run off with me."

"Eh? Ehhhh—?!"
