Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

In truth, Yuyan’s performance had already far exceeded Yino’s expectations.

In the game, she only possessed peak Nascent Soul cultivation and ultimately met her downfall by falling off a cliff despite fighting three opponents. Now, having consumed the Heart of Azure Forest and broken through to the Divine Transformation stage, Yuyan could already fight evenly against Mei, Liuli, and that third wheel Zichen.

And in that final crucial moment of their tug-of-war, if Lily hadn’t provided that team-wide buff enhancement, it would have been anyone’s guess who would emerge victorious.

What a pity though—due to Yino’s changes in the Azure Forest, Lily didn’t die this time. She even appeared alongside her sister as the forest’s guardian spirit.

Two Divine Transformation treedemons plus a guardian-level support—even if the immortals themselves came down to control this match, Yuyan would find it hard to escape calamity.

Thinking of this, Yino smiled faintly with the air of someone who had everything under control.

He sat up, focusing his gaze on the Jianlan Sect’s Holy Son at the edge of the battlefield—

“Next, it’s time for us to invite the Jianlan Sect’s Holy Son for tea~”

…

…

…

“Liuli, why did you just slap her down?”

The battle at Demon Abyss Cliff had ended, and the twin-tailed girl in the white dress had reverted to her normal form.

However, when she hurried over and leaned over the cliff’s edge to look down, the white-robed sword woman who had barely managed to grab hold was already swallowed by the abyss’s black mist.

Clearly…

She had indeed fallen off the cliff and was probably somewhere in the outskirts of Demon Abyss City by now.

“I just observed that she was about to grit her teeth and self-destruct.”

Behind Mei, Liuli also stepped forward, standing at the cliff’s edge with her hands clasped behind her back, lying through her teeth without batting an eye.

Lying was her specialty—since Liuli normally maintained an expressionless face with that sickly tone of voice, even when feeling guilty, there was no way to tell the difference.

“She wanted to self-destruct?”

Mei sat up from the cliff’s edge, her cold eyes flickering with curiosity.

She studied the red-dressed Holy Maiden’s profile with interest, but when the latter lowered her gaze to meet Mei’s eyes, Mei actually sensed a somewhat contemptuous disdain:

“Couldn’t you tell? She was already gritting her teeth and circulating her energy.”

“I really didn’t notice…”

“Not surprising, considering you were already seeing red at that point… Besides, given Yuyan’s personality all this time, did you really think she’d obediently lower her guard and let us demons rewrite her soul and consciousness?”

“Hah, you have a point.”

Hearing this, Mei seemed to understand the logic and couldn’t help but stretch lazily with exasperation.

She yawned and said irritably, “That woman is like a proud and stubborn dragon. Even if she hadn’t self-destructed, she definitely would have found all sorts of ways to end herself when we got close.”

“You really have a way with metaphors…”

Liuli raised an eyebrow slightly, muttering under her breath.

At the same time, noticing that Mei believed her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Exactly! The three of us couldn’t even out-tug her in that struggle! Isn’t she just a dragon? And the crazy kind of tyrannosaurus at that!”

Mei shrugged, speaking with teasing humor.

But soon, noticing that Liuli couldn’t be bothered to engage with her, she squinted her mischievous peach blossom eyes and suddenly smiled: “Liuli, I think you’re quite the impressive cow yourself!”

“?”

Liuli looked back in confusion, only to discover that at some point, Mei was staring jealously at the pair of snowy peaks held up by her blood-red evening gown.

“Tch…”

For a moment, Liuli felt a wave of physical disgust.

Though they were both female, Liuli really couldn’t accept being stared at like this by Mei. She even felt that Mei’s gaze was no less disgusting than those men’s.

Because… Those men only had the heart but not the courage—if Liuli felt uncomfortable, she could slap them dead at any time.

But Mei was different.

She genuinely planned to cut off Liuli’s flesh and graft it onto herself.

In a certain sense, her desire for Liuli had long transcended traditional sexual attraction.

She was simply mentally ill.

After all, what normal tree demon would want to dismember and stitch together another tree demon just because they liked the flowers on someone else’s branches?

What made Liuli even more irritated was that despite Mei’s covetous attitude toward her body, Liuli could do nothing about it.

After all… Mei was both a fellow Holy Maiden and significantly higher in cultivation than her.

It should be said that her not dismembering Liuli’s arms and legs all this time was already giving considerable face to the Full Moon Mother Goddess.

Thinking of this, Liuli couldn’t help but recall the face of a certain evil young man.

She remembered the bet she had made with him and suddenly felt that enduring Mei’s harassment all this time had been worth it.

After all… Just because Liuli couldn’t defeat Mei didn’t mean Yino lacked the ability to train and subdue another tree demon subordinate!

With this thought, Liuli curved her lips slightly, sighing on the surface with feigned helplessness:

“Mei, instead of chattering here with me, you’d better hurry down and hunt Yuyan. Don’t let her escape.”

“Alright, alright~ I know~ Liuli, you’re just too serious! Always saying such buzzkill things~”

When it came to business, Mei found it annoying and started playing with her red and white braided pigtails.

She stood up and stretched again, saying boredly:

“Down in this demon abyss, it’s all evil cults, demon cultivators, or various demon clans and ghosts… What’s there to fear? Yuyan, a cultivator from the righteous path, is unfamiliar with Demon Abyss. After falling off the cliff, it’s like a righteous fairy falling into a demon’s lair. Even with wings, she’ll find it hard to fly. We’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the pleasure of hunting!”

“So, could you please get moving? Have you forgotten the Mother Goddess’s decree this time?”

Liuli raised her eyebrows impatiently.

At the mention of the Mother Goddess, Mei had no choice but to get serious.

However, just as she was about to jump off the cliff to pursue Yuyan, Mei suddenly thought of something and turned back with slight surprise:

“Wait, if I go down to hunt Yuyan, what about you? Aren’t you coming back with me?”

The white-dressed girl’s eyebrows twitched slightly as she observed Liuli curiously.

For a moment, Liuli pursed her lips, somewhat at a loss for words.

But soon, when Liuli’s peripheral vision caught sight of a certain Jianlan Sect Holy Son who had been slacking off to the side, inspiration struck. She suddenly lowered her voice and smiled coldly:

“I still need to… help bring the Mother Goddess some small appetizers before the feast.”

When saying this, Liuli’s expression became noticeably more sinister.

Since she was facing away from Zichen, Mei quickly widened her eyes and nodded with understanding.

“Hehe, I see. I almost forgot about maximizing our gains!”

“Liuli, I never would have expected that despite your usual gentle and refined appearance, you’re actually quite cunning. When it comes to crucial moments, the things in your head are far more vicious and despicable than mine~”
