Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

"I feel filled with Sister\'s essence from top to bottom!"

Yino\'s eyes subtly shone with an icy blue light.

Thanks to the buff of the Sword Dao Holy Body, he now felt his body completely filled with Yuyan\'s spiritual essence, as if a single sword strike could mimic three points of Yuyan\'s sword intent! And now, Yuyan\'s spiritual essence could already adapt.

Next, all that was left was to accept Yuyan\'s sword intent into his body for refinement!

"Why does it sound so strange when you say it?"

Yuyan bit her red lips, her fairy-like face puzzled yet flushing with embarrassment.

She tried to correct it, but upon further thought, what Yino said didn\'t seem wrong. After a long infusion of spiritual essence, his body was indeed filled with Yuyan\'s spiritual essence; whether one could actually smell it, Yuyan herself wouldn\'t know, as she had never smelled her own spiritual essence.

"Why? Did I something strange?"

Yino feigned ignorance knowingly.

Meanwhile, he also raised his hand, merging two fingers, and a wisp of icy blue flame rose at his fingertips: "I\'m serious! If you don\'t believe me, look, even the spiritual energy inside me has taken on your spiritual color!"

Yino, like a freshly breakthrough genius, excitedly studied the changes in the icy blue spiritual energy.

But right as he finished speaking, Yuyan blushed again, quickly covering the young man\'s eyes and pushing his head back—

"Alright, sit straight and concentrate on cultivating!"

Yuyan was struggling with embarrassment now; she hadn\'t expected merely running a cultivation technique to have such an effect.

Moreover, they hadn\'t even started running the technique, and Yuyan had already infused him with most of her spiritual essence, far beyond her usual understanding of the term "running a technique!"

"Since you\'re feeling good now, next, I will really help you run the cultivation technique and adjust your energy!"

"Yino, if you can endure the technique too, I will infuse another wisp of sword intent into you!"

"Whether you can assimilate my sword intent will depend on your own fate!"

…

Many hours passed, and the sun had risen.

The situation was still tense in the bed of Ranmo Peak.

That night, Yino was first fiercely infused by Yuyan, then experienced a stormy upheaval of spiritual essence inside him controlled by Yuyan.

Now having barely finished running the technique, the sky outside was already brightening.

In the bedroom, Yino was sweating profusely, and similarly, Yuyan was no better off—her head sweating, her face pale, seemingly on the verge of exhausting her spiritual energy.

Afterwards, Yuyan identified two issues.

First, she had just fought a fierce battle with Gu Wanglan the night before, bearing severe injuries only temporarily healed by the nine-colored deer, which easily led to her exhausted state.

Secondly, it was due to Yino\'s extremely frightening condition the previous night! The potential hidden in his body far surpassed Yuyan\'s observations over the past half-month!

Now, Yuyan had to admit, she had initially misjudged the situation. She never thought that the young master she once mocked would make such rapid progress under her guidance!

Yuyan didn\'t know exactly what was happening with Yino.

But one thing was clear; before she had run the technique for him, Yino\'s cultivation speed had always been average.

Since last night when Yuyan ran the technique for him, Yino\'s cultivation visibly soared, like a long-dry land suddenly hit by a downpour, instantly stimulating the seeds beneath to break through the soil and sprout vigorously overnight!

-Could it be... the Body-Spirit Compatibility mentioned by Sister Yanran before?-

-But if it were truly a harmonious compatibility, it seemed that the spiritual energy within Yino was not just that of me-

Through her observations, Yuyan discovered that Yino\'s physique was like a treasure trove. Not only did he have the energy fluctuations of the Nine-Colored Deer, but there was also a faint golden seal, and many sealed dark and mysterious energies that even Yuyan found difficult to probe.

Even more outrageous was that, despite containing such complex energies, Yino still accepted the highly pure spiritual energy nurtured by Yuyan\'s innate Frost Holy Physique without any resistance!

Yino\'s strange physique couldn\'t help but make Yuyan think of what her master had said a month ago!

At that time, her master had earnestly told Yuyan to go to the Grand Tutor\'s Mansion to bring a seemingly ordinary young man up the mountain. Although Yuyan expressed disdain, her master merely stroked his beard and smiled meaningfully, saying that it was an agreement between him and the old Grand Tutor of He family, unwilling to explain further.

Thinking about it now, Yino wasn\'t really an idle and frivolous young master.

The Grand Tutor\'s Mansion was rich and powerful, wielding immense influence in the Great Dragon Dynasty. They had no need to send a gifted young master to be fostered in the Wuji Sect.

The faint golden seal within Yino\'s body, along with the various sealed gravitational powers, were likely his unique attributes at the Grand Tutor\'s Mansion! This was also why the sect master insisted that Yuyan personally bring him up the mountain and ensure his safety!

-I can\'t figure it out; I should ask Sister Yanran another day...-

Feeling the deep and complex nature of the matter, Yuyan stopped pondering.

After completing the last segment of channeling her energy, she swiftly withdrew her palms and readjusted her own spiritual veins, which were more than half depleted.

At the same time, Yino also returned to his senses from the long period of cultivation.

He suddenly opened his eyes, first feeling that his whole body was filled with power, but immediately after, a wave of fatigue swept over him.

"How do you feel?"

"Pretty good, just a bit tired..."

Yino rubbed his eyes and pulled himself together.

Behind him, Yuyan observed the boy\'s slightly tired face through the reflection in the floor-length mirror.

"Feeling tired is normal. After all, over these past few hours, I\'ve been helping you refine the spiritual energy in your body," Yuyan said lightly.

She paused halfway, seeming to think of something, then gently pursed her lips and smiled with gratification. "But from how it looks now, being able to hold on until now is already very impressive."

"I\'m sorry, Yino. Your senior sister did underestimate you last night. Your talent is actually quite good... No, I should say I\'ve always had preconceived notions about you. You\'re not the useless Seventh Young Master of the Grand Tutor\'s Mansion at all."

"Thank you... Then please, Senior, could you try injecting some Sword Intent again?"

Yino slightly pursed his lips. As waves of fatigue surged in his heart, his voice and expression were obviously not as enthusiastic as before, and he didn\'t even have the energy to think about what Yuyan had just said.

Regarding Yuyan\'s praise, Yino now just instinctively nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Yuyan was also secretly observing the boy\'s tired face.

"You\'re already very tired. Rest for a while."

"But we\'ve come this far already, since we\'re here..."

"Are you so insistent on receiving my sword Intent?"

Yuyan raised her eyebrows slightly, puzzled by the boy\'s persistence.

She had promised him she would give him the Sword Intent and wouldn\'t go back on her word.

"Senior, let\'s try it. I want to see if my Sword Dao talent has improved..."

Yino dragged his tired body but still instinctively spoke.

Last night, Yuyan had channeled spiritual energy into him, which, strictly speaking, couldn\'t test the true enhancement effect of the top-tier halo of the Innate Holy Body of the Sword Dao.

Only Sword Intent could purely test whether his talent in the Sword Dao had been enhanced by the halo, setting aside Yino\'s own hidden demon bloodline!

"Seems like if I don\'t give you the Sword Intent, you won\'t rest properly."

Seeing the boy so eager to prove his Sword Dao talent, Yuyan couldn\'t help but shake her head with a smile. She both admired and felt a bit helpless about Yino\'s persistence. She didn\'t say any more unnecessary words, brought her two fingers together in front of her chest, and aimed at Yino\'s sword bone meridian on his back-

"Yimo, brace yourself!"

Yuyan said in a low voice.

However, just as she spoke, the boy in front of her had already closed his eyes, and his cross-legged body began to sway back and forth.

Before Yuyan could react, the boy\'s whole body leaned forward.

Seeing that he was about to pass out from exhaustion and fall flat on his face, Yuyan hurriedly got up to support him.

But before she could reach out, Yino suddenly woke up halfway through falling forward-

"Ah! Sorry, Senior Sister!"

"I\'m fine, I\'m fine... I can still cultivate!"

"I just... was a little... sleepy... Senior si..."

Yino woke up, straightened his body again, and mumbled to himself.

Behind him, Yuyan also let out a sigh of relief.

But just as she exhaled, before she could take another breath, the half-asleep Yino closed his eyes again, and the "Senior Sister" that he was halfway through saying suddenly stopped. This time, Yino didn\'t fall forward again but leaned back entirely into the embrace of the white-clothed fairy behind him—

"Yi...Yino?"

Yuyan was a bit flustered by his back-and-forth swaying.

She instinctively opened her arms to catch him. Yino, being young, slept soundly, directly resting his head in Yuyan\'s bosom, between two soft, snowy mounds, his head nestled comfortably as he slept peacefully.

"Fell asleep from exhaustion...?"

Yuyan looked down at the boy in her arms, her beautiful eyes revealing a trace of affection and heartache.

After all, she could feel that Yino genuinely wanted to prove himself and gain her recognition. In fact, Yino\'s performance last night had far exceeded Yuyan\'s expectations, even refreshing her understanding again and again, making her deeply realize her long-standing prejudice and arrogance toward Yino!

To be honest, Yuyan felt quite guilty now.

Whether it was her emotional ridicule and sarcasm toward Yino, or rationally failing to see his talent...

Thinking of this, Yuyan couldn\'t help but sigh helplessly.

"Forget it, rest well."

She had actually noticed that Yino was resting on her chest, but considering that the boy was sleeping so soundly, Yuyan didn\'t rudely push him away.

She gently held the boy\'s shoulder with her jade-like hand, then, without disturbing his sleep, moved him slightly, finally letting her hand smoothly support the boy\'s head, moving it away from her chest\'s two soft mounds.

After that, Yuyan smiled faintly, sitting in a seiza position, her skirt covering her black-silk-clad legs, which were pressed together.

Then... She gently placed the back of the boy\'s head onto her thighs, giving him a lap pillow.

"Sleep well; consider it an extra reward."
