Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

The alley was already narrow, and as they joked, Yino was forced to step back until his back was against the wall. He had no choice but to wrap his arms around the entrancing little red fox spirit in his arms.

"Yino..."

"There are still two days and one night before the Demon Abyss attacks Western Province City."

"What plans do you have next?"

In the midst of their intimacy, Jinyue lowered her gaze, her enchanting peach blossom eyes rippling with emotion.

As her words fell, Yino remained silent for a moment, then smiled faintly:

"I have three points regarding the Demon Abyss plan."

"First, take the place of the chosen one and get a top-tier sword spirit from Holy Maiden Yunmei for free."

"Second, when the Demon Abyss wave attacks, I'll use Liuli to infiltrate the Full Moon Sect. During the battle between demonic and righteous paths, if the demonic path gains the upper hand, I'll reveal my evil cult aura to kill righteous cultivators, then sacrifice their corpses to the Mother Goddess for cultivation. Conversely, if the righteous cultivators gain the upper hand, I'll put on Wuji Sect robes and join in eliminating the evil cult members. Then I'll take the remains from those demonic cultivators' corpses back to the Immortal Alliance for merits..."

Yino had only reached the second point when the red fox girl in his arms widened her eyes, looking at him with disbelief.

It was as if this was beyond what a native like Jinyue, with her impoverished imagination, could ever conceive of—such a heaven-defying way to level up.

The great battle between good and evil...

Could one really gain merits from both sides?

Jinyue had originally thought that by taking advantage of her foreknowledge to cause trouble and mischief everywhere in the mortal realm, making both righteous and evil paths uneasy, she was already infamous among both factions.

But unexpectedly, after hearing Yino's speech, Jinyue realized there were people beyond people, and beyond despicable, there was even more despicable.

She could already imagine how the Mother Goddess of the Full Moon Sect and the Empress of the Dragon Dynasty would deal with Yino, this double-dealer extraordinaire, if they ever found out...

"Then, what's the third point?"

"The third point..."

Yino took a deep breath, his mind recalling the game's plot.

He lowered his gaze to Jinyue, falling briefly into silence.

In the game, Jinyue and Liuli secretly joined forces, with Jinyue acting as an insider to kick the protagonist down into the Demon Abyss, leading to the subsequent plot where the protagonist was hunted by both Jinyue and Liuli in the Demon Abyss, eventually escaping death and being rescued by Yuyan, then fighting alongside her to defeat the Demon Abyss.

But now... Both Jinyue and Liuli were Yino's people, and he couldn't quite predict how the plot would unfold.

"For this third point, we might need to go to the bottom of the Demon Abyss."

After much consideration, Yino finally decided to follow the main storyline.

This was the safest approach. As long as they fell into the Demon Abyss during the third volume's timeframe, Yino could be certain that the Demon City plot below would match the original.

This way... Even without being betrayed by Jinyue, Yino could follow the original script and have Jinyue accompany him through it again.

"You want to go to the bottom of the Demon Abyss?"

"Wait, do you know what's at the bottom of the Demon Abyss?"

Jinyue raised her eyebrows. Every time she heard Yino analyze the situation, she was perpetually cycling between shock and admiration.

Meanwhile, Yino shrugged and smiled:

"I might not know the way, but now I have my wifey to guide me, don't I?"

"I... guide you? Guide you where?"

"When we reach the Abyss, you'll know."

...

...

...

...

After losing track of that mysterious black-robed girl, Yino returned to the Phoenix Pavilion to meet with Yunjin and the others, spending the night refining the second high-purity pure phoenix crystal.

The good news was that Yunjin and Wangxue had an easy time.

They said halfway through the meal, they saw Nian suddenly stand up and rush out.

And then... Yunjin and Wangxue continued as if nothing had happened, quietly finishing their meal before leaving.

They didn't even know what had occurred.

Anyway, that Miss Nian never returned after that, making Yunjin and Wangxue wonder if she had run away to avoid paying the bill.

But the bad news was... Yino spent the whole night refining the pure phoenix crystal, but by the time dawn was approaching, he had refined less than one-tenth of it.

At four in the morning, Yino finally couldn't take it anymore.

He got dressed, took the pure phoenix crystal, and headed straight to the Hundred Spirits Pavilion on the top floor...

About half an hour later, Yino came out of the Hundred Spirits Pavilion hall, leaning against the wall with flushed cheeks, looking somewhat tipsy.

"Damn it, why!"

"I refined it all night, and it still wasn't as much as the grape juice the Hundred Spirits Pavilion master squeezed out with a few stomps of her foot..."

After drinking the foot brew from the master of the Hundred Spirits Pavilion last night, Yino had further released the demonic bloodline within his body.

He could vaguely sense that this bloodline was like an unbridled wild horse. With each seal that was released, Yino's internal organs would be refined, and he experienced sudden enlightenment, as if his perception of the world had become clearer and more tangible.

If Yino remembered correctly, in the original story, the seventh young master of the Grand Tutor's Mansion was a mixed-blood of the Phoenix race and humans.

After Yino was killed by Chen Jianxin's sword in the game, not only did the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the Wuji Sect become enemies, but even the reclusive Phoenix race far in the Western Region bore a grudge against the Wuji Sect.

This point could also be glimpsed from the fact that Yino's aunt, Xinyao, was a transformed spirit crane or a phenix.

Only In the game, the seventh young master of the Grand Tutor's Mansion died early, and many mysteries were buried by time. Yino wasn't clear about what kind of bloodline he actually possessed. He hadn't even seen Yino's phoenix-sovereign mother from the Western Region in the game.

Moreover, although the Phoenix bloodline sounded impressive, its essence was similar to the Dragon race. From high to low, there were the supreme True Phoenixes, and naturally there would also be lower phoenix such as Fire Phoenixes and Ice Phoenixes with impure bloodlines.

As for which rank Yino belonged to...

If Xinyao was still reluctant to speak, he would have to wait until his bloodline was completely released to find out.
