Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Lily looked at Yino with a face full of joy.

Bathing in the holy light, Yino couldn't help but be moved. He pursed his lips, making a decision to himself- he would not let down Lily's heartfelt intentions and would make good use of the Azure Forest's heart!

"By the way!"

Lily suddenly remembered something. She quickly walked up and grabbed Yino's hand.

"Brother, before, Little Deer and Sister Yunjin, both helped me..."

"So, before I left, I conveniently took some treasures from the ancient temple... Although these things belong to the Azure Forest, I will no longer be there. These treasures would just be taken by the cultivators anyway. I might as well take them out to repay everyone!"

"Brother, do you think these things will be of any help to Wangxue and Sister Yunjin?"

Lily lowered her head and rummaged through the small pocket on her dress. You wouldn't believe it, but this small pocket was like Doraemon's; in a flash, Lily took out a variety of exotic flowers, plants, and colorful crystals in front of Yino.

Yino took a rough look. Fortunately, he recognized all these treasures. They were basic secret treasures that could be obtained from exploring secret realms in the game, not as precious as the heart of the Azure Forest.

Amidst these treasures, Yino's attention was drawn to a pile of colorful, sparkling crystals.

"What are these...?"

Yino seemed to have thought of something. Weren't these the gemstones embedded in the base of the seal inside the ancient temple? When did Lily take them?

Upon closer inspection, Yino realized these were highly pure fairy stones containing various elemental aura!

Thinking about it, these should be consumables used to stabilize the seal of the ancient temple. The quality of these stones was thousands of times higher than ordinary fairy stones!

"These, Wangxue said they could help her advance, so when I was being invaded by demonic energy, I struggled to break free from the seal and conveniently took several..."

"But Wangxue said she only needed nine, and more would be a waste, so I just took nine at that time..."

Lily recalled the details of their conversation in the ancient temple, her words a bit muddled. But she didn't think there was anything particularly valuable or strange about it. She was simply happy to give these good things to her new friends.

"Good fellow, there are exactly nine, just enough to make up the nine colors..."

Yino examined the fairy stones in his hand, then glanced back at the nine-colored deer still inside the secret realm's barrier. In an instant, Wangxue with nine-colored antlers felt inexplicably guilty. She turned her face away, pretending this had nothing to do with her.

So it turns out this deer calculated things even earlier than me, and she didn't have Lily take a few more for me!

Yino grumbled inwardly. This trip to the Azure Forest, although Yino obtained the heart of the Azure Forest, it was of such high grade that it had virtually no benefit for him. The remaining miscellaneous items, Yino was sure he would have to give some to Yunjin and Jinyue when he returned. So in reality, after this secret realm ended, Yino's cultivation was still in the early Core Formation stage, with almost no improvement. Instead, the nine-colored deer had gained a lot of materials for her own advancement.

"I see, since Wangxue is still inside the barrier, I'll keep these nine crystals for her for now."

Yino smiled, waved his hand, and put away the nine-colored crystals and a bunch of treasures.

After that, Yino squatted down, rubbed Lily's head, and made his final farewell.

"When... when will we meet again..."

Lily murmured. Yino recalled a certain flamboyant little merchant from the game and couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Soon, in a few months. At that time, I will take you to the Western Province City to freeload and eat!"

"Freeload and eat!"

Lily's eyes lit up. Even though she didn't know what that meant, she could tell from Yino's tone and expression that it was something exciting.

Yino didn't know if it was because of his rebirth that he had a special affinity with children. In any case, Lily's smiling face just now was somewhat similar to Wangxue's, and she seemed easy to coax.

After bidding farewell to Lily, Yino left a few words with Liuli, then was escorted back into the barrier of the Azure Forest by Liuli.

"Three months later, a demonic crisis will erupt outside Western Province City..."

Liuli stood outside the barrier, watching Yino leave, but she couldn't help muttering to herself. Just like the innocent Lily, Liuli actually didn't know where Yino got his information from. She was the Holy Maiden of the Full Moon Sect. The Full Moon Sect's headquarters was located under the demonic abyss. The fact that the demonic abyss would invade Western Province City in three months was something even the Holy Maiden of the Full Moon Sect hadn't heard of. How could Yino, a human from the Central Plains, possibly know about it?

"I suppose, Master is just like the Celestial Master, both are people who control the destiny of heaven..."

Watching Yino walk away, Liuli sighed helplessly. Beside her, her sister's warm little hand held onto hers. For a moment, Liuli felt a warmth in her heart. She lowered her eyebrows to see her sister's sunny smile and was quite moved:

"No, the so-called celestial master can't even compare to this step. Master is an existence that controls destiny even more than the celestial master!"

….

"Yino, when will you give the gemstones that Lily gave you to me!"

Walking on the small path in the Azure Forest, the golden-haired deergirl put her hands on her hips and pouted.

She was following behind Yino, but because her legs were short, whenever Yino quickened his pace, Wangxue could only jog to keep up. Later, Wangxue simply grabbed onto Yino's clothes with one hand. Although Yino had not yet responded, as the best friend in the world, Wangxue only had to look at Yino's subtly quickened pace to have a bad feeling. She held onto Yino's clothes tightly, her hand trembling, as if afraid that her hateful master would run away.

Yino looked back at the little deer holding onto his clothes and was inwardly speechless. But on the surface, he pretended to be indifferent:@@novelbin@@

"You're so anxious! Wangxue, we are the best friends in the world! What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine... So, these little stones, whoever has them, has them, right?"

"Bullshit! I don't believe you!"
