Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Sorry for the delays.

I’ve noticed that many people are going to other websites to read the chapters.As I mentioned before, this ruins the daily release schedule and slows down the uploads.

From now on, we won’t be changing chapters after uploading them—we’ll just publish directly.

So please support us by only reading on and not on any other sites.

Thank you again, and enjoy the mass release!

“Alright, let’s start the report.”

The lights went out. In the dimly lit room, Yino steadied the trembling, swaying white fox girl with one hand using a specific technique.

He sat on the bench beside the tea table while the white fox girl stood before him in a horse stance.

She bit down tightly on a corner of her skirt, hands clasped behind her back. Despite feeling so ashamed she wanted to bite her tongue and die on the spot, what made Yuebai want to die of shame even more was that she’d been excitedly wagging her tail ever since she lifted her skirt.

Just like when they first met in Azure Forest, tonight Yuebai wore white stockings with a hint of pink.

But Yuebai knew this wasn’t coincidence – she’d deliberately worn them to meet Yino.

Yuebai knew Yino would definitely like this style. He’d said more than once that they felt silky smooth to touch. From what Yuebai observed, Jinyue always catered to Yino’s tastes this way too.

But still…

This position of being admired far exceeded her imagination.

In a way, Yino’s creativity once again shattered Yuebai’s preconceptions. She felt like her hundreds of years had been wasted.

She had to admit – he wasn’t just a cultivation genius, but a top-tier pervert prodigy.

“Do… do I really have to report like this…?”

Even with the skirt corner in her mouth, Yuebai trembled as she voiced her unease one last time.

Yino looked at her. His fingertips controlling the spirit markings hadn’t moved yet, just tilted his head with curiosity:

“What, isn’t this the most efficient method?”

“Yuebai, you know the Liuli Secret Realm opens in just two days. We don’t have much time left. Combining official business with rewards simultaneously is the optimal solution.”

Yino analyzed this matter-of-factly.

Seeing Yuebai still seemed to want to say something through gritted teeth – But, but… – he injected a bit of spiritual energy into his fingertips, planning to give her a taste of sweetness before the report to satisfy Yuebai’s little greedy mouth that had been starving for half a year.

Yino’s finger technique was like playing a guzheng or gayageum – nimble and stirring the heartstrings. In an instant, the spirit markings that were already prepared flared with dazzling light.

“Ahh~!”

“Wait! Don’t inject more spiritual energy! I’ll report, I’ll report right now!”

As the guzheng strings played their melody, ripples stirred across the ocean in the white fox girl’s heart.

Her face had already turned red. She was both afraid and reluctant to escape, only able to keep biting down and swallowing the saliva continuously secreted in her greedy cute mouth.

“Good, very obedient.”

Warmth appeared in Yino’s cold gaze. As he praised her gently, his hands naturally didn’t stint on rewards either.

This was his consistent principle for taming various rebellious animals – clear rewards and punishments.

When Yuebai was disobedient, Yino never held back.

Conversely, whenever Yuebai performed well, Yino never hesitated with praise and rewards.

Whether Yuebai wanted rewards or not, as long as her body remembered this system, she’d eventually be trained into the habit of wagging her tail at the sight of rewards.

The same applied to Mei.

It’s just that Mei was somewhat of a crazy hothead, making her harder to tame than the clever Yuebai.

“Now you can start reporting.”

“Our rule is this – while completing your work report, you must endure the plasure. You can’t steal the forbidden fruit…”

“Otherwise, each time you steal a taste, we add five minutes of delay.”

“If you can strictly control your little mouth throughout and clearly complete the work report, then I’ll help you remove that tail afterward, and you won’t have to live with an extra tail every day from now on.”

“Understand?”

After briefly explaining the rules, Yino smiled faintly.

Seeing Yuebai getting a bit distracted, he injected a little more spiritual energy to help her focus.

“Mm~!”

The fox girl snapped to attention instantly.

“I… I understand, master!”

Yuebai straightened her chest while pulling in her stomach, immediately executing a perfect horse stance before Yino.

“Next, this… this servant will begin reporting!”

“Mm.”

“During Master’s absence, the plan generally developed as you wished, but according to my record, three events occurred in Liuli Sect that weren’t in Master’s plans!”

“Which three?”

“The first one… ahh! The… the first is that since this servant joined Liuli Sect, quite a few disciples have confessed to me…” The most update n0vels are published on n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net

As soon as Yuebai finished speaking, Yino’s eyebrows shot up unexpectedly.

He didn’t comment, just slowly raised the resonance frequency of his fingertip spirit markings with a slight twitch of his lips.

The same instant, the fox girl began trembling faintly in rhythm with the musical notes.

“Mmgh~ ! No! This servant doesn’t want to brag about those inferior males pursuing me… Master, please let me explain first!”

Seeing Yino’s displeasure, Yuebai immediately panicked almost to tears.

Fortunately, when she finished speaking, Yino restrained himself considerably.

“You’re a fox demon. Attracting the opposite sex is your natural charm instinct. So what are you trying to express by mentioning this specifically?”

“No… the main thing is, among the male disciples pursuing this servant, there’s one senior brother who confessed his love… he, he’s actually that Ye Chaerin’s personal disciple!”

“Wait, you mean Ye Huai?”

Hearing this, Yino immediately raised his eyebrows with curiosity.

“Yes! It’s Ye Huai. Among Liuli Sect’s disciples, everyone spreads rumors that he’s Chaerin’s illegitimate son…”

Yuebai bit the skirt corner tightly with her teeth, speaking with some grievance and unease.

“That Ye Huai would actually pursue you… this is quite unexpected.”

For a moment, Yino was genuinely stumped.

In the game, Ye Huai was Ruoning’s senior brother. He was indeed a righteous character in the early-to-mid plot, treating both Xumo and Ruoning well. Only later, after a certain incident where Ye Chaerin was severely injured by a villain’s scheme, did her adopted son Ye Huai’s temperament change drastically as he gradually fell into the embrace of evil cults.

Yino’s impression of Ye Huai’s storyline wasn’t very deep, because Ye Huai played a righteous role through most of the plot – not even counting as a villain. Who’d pay attention to what psychological trauma some sunny, cheerful background character suffered before turning dark?

“Ye Huai isn’t Ye Chaerin’s illegitimate son. He should be considered adopted…”

“I see…”
