Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Chapter 510: Ch 510 – Rewards

As Jing Chen spoke his last words before dying, the entire Liuli Divine Palace began to completely shatter and fall apart.

At the same time, Dia’s soul was finally liberated after a hundred long years.

Before the divine palace completely collapsed, Dia materialized in her human form before Ruoning and Yino.

Compared to Jing Chen, who had fought against fate until the very end, Dia’s relationship with these two juniors had been quite warm throughout the journey.

“Thanks… both of you…”

The beautiful butterfly, whose body had been altered, had now, before their very eyes, returned to her human appearance as a senior sister of the Liuli Sect.

She had dark, coiled shoulder-length braids, a gentle and beautiful face, and wore the same simple Liuli Sect robes as Ruoning, which suited her perfectly.

At least in this moment, she looked no different from any other beauty of the Liuli Sect.

“Ruoning, you are Sister Chaerin’s disciple.”

“When you return home this time and see your Master, please… say goodbye to her for me…”

The dark-haired beauty looked at Ruoning’s face and smiled faintly.

This scene made Ruoning’s eyes gradually turn red.

Yino, as an observer, might not have felt it as deeply. But as the successor of the Innate Liuli Body, Ruoning had walked through all eighteen layers of the Liuli Illusion Realm with Dia’s soul. She had long since resonated with Dia’s experiences and emotions, and from the bottom of her heart, she already saw Dia as a gentle, considerate, and reliable senior.

“Alright, now…”

Seeing the little girl about to cry, the dark-haired beauty couldn’t help but press her lips together.

She stepped forward, knelt, and pulled Ruoning into an embrace.

“This world outside… it’s very dangerous. It’s full of bad people.”

“Ruoning, you must promise me that when you go home, you will be obedient and listen to your master.”

“Otherwise… you are the successor of the Innate Liuli Body. Countless famous clans and families out there covet your body…”

“Yino is very strong, but you can’t be willful either. Promise me you will properly, become a pillar of our Liuli Sect in the future, and never let anyone bully the people of the Liuli Sect again…”

Ruoning buried her face in the Dia’s embrace, while the latter gently lowered her head, bringing her lips to the girl’s ear to advise her softly, word by word.

Ultimately, Dia was also a disciple of the Liuli Sect.

Jing Chen was her savior, and Jing Chen’s home was her second home.

Back then, when the Divine Abyss Gate summoned the sea dragon to attack…

Dia, as the Primordial Phantom Butterfly, could have easily taken Jing Chen and fled that land of strife.

But Dia didn’t.

Because her home was here.

Her fellow disciples, her closest friends and senior sisters, even Jing Chen’s father and the various clan elders…

Dia and Jing Chen had no escape. She could only sacrifice her own origin.

So…

These were Dia’s heartfelt words, from a lifetime of experience.

She was thankful that her successor was a human girl, and that she had such outstanding people as Yino and Chaerin…

“I… I will work hard!”

Seeing Dia’s soul about to dissipate completely, Ruoning could no longer hold back her tears and hugged her tightly, crying out loud.

“I will definitely cultivate seriously from now on! I won’t let down your guidance! And I won’t let down master and everyone else!”

“If those beasts from the Divine Abyss Gate ever dare to attack again, I will definitely slaughter every last one of them!”

Her voice grew more and more resolute. Though tears streamed down her face, her beautiful blue-purple eyes held an unprecedented, unshakeable determination.

At this moment, Ruoning’s sense of belonging to the Liuli Sect had reached its absolute peak.

As Dia’s soul faded away, Ruoning’s body once again glowed with a new Liuli light.

“Wuu… ahh…”

Feeling the gentle warmth in her arms disappear, the girl cried even harder.

She raised her hand to wipe her eyes, but the tears only flowed faster, until Yino came up from the side and pulled her into his embrace.

“Go ahead and cry it all out.”

“After we finish crying this time, we’ll have grown up.”

Yino said softly. Although he had seen this parting scene between Dia and Ruoning countless times in his previous life, being here in person, he still felt moved and comforted her gently.

From this moment on, Ruoning had truly grown up.

She was no longer the arrogant and willful young miss she used to be, but the fated heroine who carried the legacy of the Primordial Phantom Butterfly and the hundred-year-old humiliation of the entire Liuli Sect.

Now, Ruoning had likely found her purpose.

And as the successor to Dia’s Innate Liuli Body, Ruoning would become the apple of Chaerin’s eye. In the future, Chaerin would spare no expense to cultivate her and help her achieve immortality.

As for Yino… His plan at the Liuli Sect was officially complete.

He had helped Ruoning overcome the most dangerous heavenly tribulation of her life.

From now on, her life no longer required his intervention, because her master would act as her true backer, protecting her as she cut through all obstacles. The OP protagonist life of the Liuli Sect’s fated heroine was about to begin.

Next…

It shouldn’t be long until Yuyan’s tribulation.

While holding the tear-streaked girl, Yino didn’t feel pity, but rather a sense of relief as he began to think about his future plans.

To be honest, he was extremely busy right now.

He had to plot his own counter-attack as a cannon-fodder villain, and along the way, he had accidentally captured the hearts of his Senior Sister and his childhood friend. Now, with a peerless beauty in each arm, Yino couldn’t bear to watch them suffer through their tribulations alone as they did in the game.

“Are you done crying?”

Lost in thought, Yino noticed the girl’s sobs were getting quieter.

He looked down, curiously observing Ruoning’s expression through the gap, and her face, after a few sniffles, began to turn red.

“Wh-when we get out… you’re not allowed to tell Master how embarrassing I was!”

Unexpectedly, after crying for ten minutes, the girl’s first thought was to regret her loss of composure.

Yino shrugged and said with a faint smile:

“I don’t think she would laugh at you for this.”

“Aiya~ Just don’t say it, okay!”

“Oh? But my clothes are all wet with your tears. What am I going to do if she sees?” Yino hit her right where it hurt.

“Th-this…”

For a moment, Ruoning looked at the masterpiece she had left on his shirt, her face turning crimson. She quickly took out a handkerchief and tried to wipe it for him.

Yino also took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tear-streaked makeup from her face.

“Alright, I’ll change my clothes when we get out.”

He stopped teasing and spoke seriously.
