Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

"This place is so eerie..."

Pushing open the rotten wooden door, the white-robed young man looked at the dilapidated Buddha statue in the main hall and couldn't help but shudder. Even his grip on Jinyue's hand tightened nervously.

Jinyue looked back at him, sensing the gloomy atmosphere in the mountain temple. Deep inside, she also felt uneasy.

Before entering the hall, she had been quite bothered by the hand-holding, but the place was so full of yin energy that even a fox spirit like Jinyue found it difficult to adapt.

Although she was indeed a demon from a Western cult, the Buddha statue before her was after all a fallen image of an Eastern cult.

Different regions naturally have different customs.

These Western lords might not necessarily have jurisdiction over the East!

So now, Jinyue didn't mind the hand-holding anymore. Even a demon like her had goosebumps, let alone a mere mortal like Yino.

If anything, Jinyue felt a bit safer holding Yino's hand, after all, he was wearing the jade pendant from Yuyan.

It wasn't that Jinyue had no trump cards herself, but if they encountered danger, it would definitely be more advantageous to use Yino's trump card to save their lives!

Of course, while Jinyue was making her little calculations, Yino basically had the same idea when he held her hand.

"The deer cry... it seems to be coming from below!"

Jinyue carefully walked to the front of the Buddha statue, crouched down, and gently touched the floor to examine it closely.

With her back to Yino, she secretly activated her fox spirit's crimson curse eyes, scanning the details of the entire temple at lightning speed.

However, after a long investigation, Jinyue still couldn't find anything like an underground chamber mechanism.

"Senior Sister, don't you feel like this Buddha has been staring at us the whole time..."

Behind the girl, Yino raised the lamp and suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Jinyue was startled.

If she were in her true fox spirit form, her tail would probably be standing up right now.

"Senior Sister, look up."

Yino noticed the girl's unease and actively moved forward, handing the hanging lamp to Jinyue.

He pointed at the Buddha statue, and Jinyue looked in that direction.

After a moment of silence, Jinyue got goosebumps and actively held Yino's hand.

"It, it really is."

Her voice was already trembling a bit.

On the other hand, Yino wasn't nervous at all, after all, in his previous life, he already knew the secret of this mountain temple from the game.

"Senior Sister, look! There seems to be a small Buddha statue hidden in this corner!"

Yino pretended to be surprised and turned his gaze to a small Buddha statue on the side of the main hall.

Although Jinyue followed him, she kept staring at the large Buddha, not daring to look away.

Because ever since Yino mentioned it, she had been feeling that this large Buddha was staring at her, no matter whether she stood on the right or left, the Buddha's eyes were always eerily fixed on her...

Jinyue felt that if she turned her head, this decayed Buddha statue would move.

Seeing that Jinyue was locked in a staring contest with the Buddha statue, Yino could only silently walk forward and light an incense stick in front of the small Buddha statue in the corner.

*Click—!*

"I lit an incense stick, and it seems to have triggered some movement."

Yino pretended to be surprised as he pointed out.

Jinyue looked over at the sound, first at the small Buddha statue, then back at the large Buddha behind her.

"Wait, the big Buddha doesn't seem to be staring at us anymore! What is it looking at?"

She exclaimed in surprise.

Following the gaze of the large Buddha, Jinyue also found a small Buddha statue hidden in a dark corner.

"Wait, there's another one here!"

"Is that so? I'll go try lighting an incense stick for this Buddha statue too."

Yino volunteered, using the flame from the lamp to light the incense stick.

*Click—!*

Another crisp sound of a mechanism. This time, there was an obvious change in the large Buddha. Three incense burners suddenly appeared on the altar in front of the Buddha statue.

"Could it be that we need to light the three incense sticks in front of the large Buddha?"

Jinyue said suspiciously.

At the same time, Yino nodded and said, "I think so. Why don't you try it, Senior Sister?"

He didn't compete or grab, but actively handed the lamp to Jinyue.

For a moment, Jinyue held the lamp, her lips twitching slightly, feeling a chill down her spine.

However, she couldn't refuse now, after all, Yino had already lit incense for two small Buddha statues, so it was only fair that she should do the last one for the large Buddha.

-Tsk, please don't stare at me...-

Jinyue clicked her tongue secretly, but still steeled herself and walked towards the large Buddha.

She kept her head up, warily staring at the Buddha's eyes, because ever since Yino mentioned the suspicious nature of the statue earlier, Jinyue had been feeling uneasy and paranoid.

"Senior Sister, hurry up, I feel the wind outside is getting colder!"

A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the hall, and Yino pretended to be scared, hugging himself tightly as he urged.

"Senior Sister, I keep feeling like there's something gloomy outside watching us!"

"Senior Sister... the two incense sticks we just lit seem about to be blown out!"

Yino stood to the side, playing along with his lines.

In fact, these lines he was saying were all subtitles he had seen in the mountain temple in his previous life.

For sure, Yino knew that there were several fierce ghosts in this mountain temple. He just felt that since they were here, they shouldn't waste the storyline design of the mountain temple, and he should help Jinyue build up the supernatural atmosphere.

The more he said these things, the more nervous Jinyue naturally became.

Unlike Yino who came from a mortal background, she had actually witnessed the evil lords of this world!

Having reverence for the supreme beings is basic common sense for a cultivator.

*Click—!*

Jinyue lit the last incense sticks, and sure enough, another mechanism sound came from the main hall.

And it was at this moment that Yino suddenly exclaimed:

"Oh my, the Buddha's eyes moved!"

Upon hearing this, Jinyue's heart skipped a beat, and she stumbled backward, falling into Yino's arms.

But after a long embrace, the Buddha statue still showed no abnormality.

Jinyue turned back suspiciously, only to see Yino scratching his head in confusion:

"Could it be that I was seeing things? Just now, that Buddha statue seemed to make some low murmuring sound, and its eyeballs really moved a bit!"

"No, not necessarily, I think I heard it too..."

Jinyue's face turned pale, and she didn't blame Yino, but rather eloquently helped explain for him.

Compared to suspecting Yino of deliberately scaring her to take advantage, she was more inclined to believe that that bastard Gu Wanglan had really placed a cursed and ominous object in the mountain temple.

After all, Gu Wanglan was also a cult member, and no one understood better than Jinyue how crazy those cultists could be.

"Come with me, we must have triggered some mechanism just now."

They waited for a while, and seeing no further movement in the main hall, Jinyue plucked up her courage again and walked towards the Buddha statue once more.

But this time, Yino didn't follow.

He silently watched Jinyue's footsteps until the girl's embroidered sandals stepped on the third brick in front of the Buddha statue

*Rumble!!!*

A huge sound came from the Buddha statue above.

like a startled cat, Jinyue did a backflip and retreated several steps to keep her distance.

*Clang!*

This time, the Buddha's eyeballs actually fell out.

Jinyue was startled, and as she kept retreating, she bumped into Yino's arms again. At the same time, a whiff of the girl's fresh and charming scent wafted into Yino's nostrils.

But in this critical moment, Jinyue couldn't care about these things.

She stared at the Buddha statue, only to see it split open in a yin yang fashion, revealing a hidden door beneath the statue.

"What is this!"

Jinyue exclaimed, her previously pale face suddenly lit up with joy.

Beside her, Yino's face turned a bit red, he was trying hard to divert his attention, seemingly enduring something.

-But it must be said that this legendary innate succubus body was truly stimulating. Just having Jinyue leaning against my chest and smelling her alluring scent was enough to make me struggle-

"Yino, look, there really is a secret chamber!"

Jinyue turned back excitedly, intending to share the good news with Yino, but she noticed his flushed face and rapid breathing: "You... why is your face red?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a stress response from being scared."

Yino's lips twitched slightly as he actively maintained some distance from Jinyue.

At the same time, Jinyue also noticed the small tent that had been pitched.

She recalled accidentally bumping into Yino's arms earlier as her boob's sandwiched his arm, and an experienced woman like her immediately understood, her cheeks also turning slightly red.

In fact, this matter could have been overlooked if they both pretended not to notice, but Yino's reaction was too exaggerated, and it was hard for even someone like Jinyue not to be drawn to it.

"Your stress response is quite unique indeed."

Jinyue stared at Yino's manhood, her face also becoming awkward.

She took a deep breath and turned her face away, finding it difficult to speak:

"Maybe... you should calm down first, it feels weird if you keep being like this."

Honestly, although she was a fox spirit, even someone like her had never encountered such a situation before.

Back in the Western Regions, Jinyue could scare people into trembling with just a glance. There were rarely brave warriors who dared to have a physiological reaction in front of a demon spirt like her, letting their little head control their big head.

Later, when she infiltrated the Wuji Sect as a junior sister, Jinyue always did as she pleased. Her most frequent interactions with senior and junior brothers were being confessed to, and no normal person would have such a reaction during a confession.

So over all these years, Yino was truly the first one to have such a reaction to someone like Jinyue...

Even Jinyue herself was a bit doubtful whether it was her allure that was too intense, or if Yino's reaction was far beyond that of normal people?

After all, even for an innate succubus body, his reaction was too exaggerated. The terrifying desire to attack felt like it would devour even someone like Jinyue completely.

Jinyue thought it over and still felt that this wasn't her fault. After all, she really was just scared and bumped into his arms, with no intention of seducing him at all. It must be Yino himself who had impure thoughts!

After all, Yino had a record!

Just earlier in the day, he had mistaken even someone like Jinyue for the top courtesan of the Phoenix Pavilion!

-He must have been lusting after me for a long time!-

Thinking of this, Jinyue couldn't help but puff up her cheeks slightly, her beautiful eyes staring at Yino with some resentment:

"Hey... are you done yet?"

"Hmm, almost." Yino put his hands together.

Jinyue looked at him, inexplicably blushing as she put her hands on her hips: "Junior Brother, you should be more restrained next time. This is too disrespectful. If it were the Sword Sect's Senior Sister with her temper, you might end up unable to have children!"

"Don't worry about that, Sister Yuyan wouldn't lean into my arms and rub against me with her body..."

Yino retorted seriously.

Upon hearing this, Jinyue took a sharp breath, her little face turning red:

"Hmph!?? Who… who who who rubbed against you?! I had no choice! That Buddha statue kept staring at me, it was terrifying. Luckily it wasn't staring at you, otherwise you would have been scared to your knees, hugging my legs!"

She stammered and defended herself for a while, but Yino looked absent-minded.

At this moment, even someone like Jinyue experienced the helplessness of having her innocence slandered.

Yino shrugged and said rationally:

"So, it was just an accident. Let's both take a step back. I promise not to tell anyone about tonight's events, so Senior Sister shouldn't mind my normal physiological reaction as a male."

"Fine, but don't let it react to me like that again! If you ever let your desires cloud your judgment and do something excessive, don't blame me for not considering our past friendship!"

Jinyue crouched down, narrowing her enchanting eyes, puffing up her cheeks, and pointing her little finger at Yino's little brother in warning.

Yino's mouth twitched slightly as he sneered back:

"Of course, I also ask Senior Sister to restrain herself and not unconsciously emit seductive fragrance during unintentional friction... This junior brother is young and vigorous, and truly can't withstand tests like this even from someone like Senior Sister."

"I've told you I wasn't trying to seduce you!!!"

Upon hearing this, Jinyue immediately became agitated.

The reason was simple: Yino's seemingly slanderous words had precisely hit Jinyue's soft spot that she had been dealing with for many years.

Some people joke, but some people are looking in the mirror.

But even someone like Jinyue couldn't help it, who told her she was born with an innate succubus body?

"Then why did you lean on me?"

"I… I was scared by that Buddha statue!"

"Then I was also scared into arousal, it seems it's all because this Buddha statue is too hot, seducing me..."

"—_—!"

...

...

...

Under the gaze of the three Buddha statues in the main hall, Yino and Jinyue argued stubbornly for quite a while.

In fact, most of their disputes were meaningless chatter, but as they argued, the originally gloomy and terrifying atmosphere of the mountain temple eased considerably.

Later, even someone like Jinyue really couldn't out-argue Yino.

She made a pact with Yino: she promised to be more careful, and Yino promised to control his little brother.

In fact, even Jinyue knew this was a misunderstanding.

She just couldn't swallow her pride. She wanted Yino to feel guilty and apologize to her, but Yino was even more stubborn than her. He even wanted someone like Jinyue to apologize to him...

Knowing she was in the wrong, Jinyue simply changed the subject and turned to look at the underground chamber door not far away:

"Rather than that, let's quickly go down and take a look! Maybe the truth about the deer cry in the mountain temple is down there!"

"Senior Sister, this underground chamber looks so gloomy. Do we really need to venture further down?"

Yino stood at the entrance of the underground chamber with a worried expression

Jinyue was stunned for a moment. Thinking of the life-saving jade pendant on Yino, she immediately put aside their previous grievances, pursed her cherry lips, and smiled gently: "Don't worry, Junior Brother! You just follow behind this sister. With me in front, I'll protect you!"

Upon hearing this, Yino also immediately let go of their previous disagreement and smiled brightly:

"With Senior Sister's words, I'm reassured!"
