Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder - Chapter 393 - 393: Ch 393 - It's Cold, Warm Your Aunt!

Xinyao felt like something was seriously off about Yino today.

First, she’d come to Jin City to bail Yino out of trouble, but turns out the guy had somehow gotten mixed up with the freaking Dragon Empress.

Second, after getting kicked out by the Empress, Xinyao went back to the city lord’s mansion to wait around.

But strangely, Xinyao waited for a long time without seeing Yino come out. She worried that he had been subjected to something excessive by Nina in the prison, so she sent people to investigate. The servants reported back that Nina had left half an hour ago.

So she hurried to the prison to find him.

Yino wasn’t in his room. Later, after asking the guards, she learned that Yino had taken the keys to the second-floor private room.

Undoubtedly, that suite held Yuyan.

According to the hallway guards’ description, Yino had been inside for about twenty minutes without any movement.

All this intelligence made Xinyao confused.

Sure, she couldn’t mess with Nina, but couldn’t she deal with Yuyan?

Xinyao wasn’t gonna baby her. After knocking nicely and getting no answer, she immediately got pissed and kicked the door.

Her feet might look delicate, but they were way stronger than some human girl’s dainty feet.

With a thunderous crash, the entire door was kicked flying and smashed against the wall.

After that, Xinyao strode into the room. She saw the somewhat messy bedsheets and a spirit lock cuff scattered on the floor…

Just then, the white robed young man hurriedly emerged from the bathroom.

His clothes were still neat, slightly surprised, and his lip-licking gesture seemed somewhat awkward.

This strange sense of déjà vu made her heart tighten.

Though she was just an aunt…

At this moment, she genuinely felt like she was catching someone in adultery.

“Yino, what the hell were you doing in the bathroom?”

Xinyao raised an eyebrow and walked over.

She tried to get around Yino and check out the bathroom, but he blocked her with a perfectly timed sidestep.

“Nah, I was just helping Senior Sister break some seal in the bathroom.”

“Breaking a seal?”

“Yeah, weren’t we captured? Senior Sister also had a cultivation sealing curse placed on her.”

“…?”

Xinyao found this more suspicious. After all, she really couldn’t think of what kind of curse in this world would require a man and woman alone to hide in a bathroom to break.

Thinking of this, Xinyao raised her eyebrow and scowled:

“Move it, let your Aunt check this out!”

This time, she sounded dead serious.

Yino could only twitch his lips and shrug helplessly as he stepped aside.

Xinyao looked fierce as she bypassed Yino and headed straight for the bathroom door.

But when she pushed the door open, she locked eyes with the stunning woman standing in front of the mirror, adjusting her clothes.

“?”

Yuyan didn’t turn around, because she could see the visitor’s identity through the mirror.

Her expression was just slightly confused, seemingly not understanding why Xinyao would appear here so aggressively.

“What were you just doing in here with Yino?”

Xinyao leaned against the doorframe, eyebrow raised, suspicious of this seemingly calm woman.

On the other side, though Yuyan had strong psychological resilience and could maintain a composed facade, being stared at by Xinyao made her heart race. After all, just ten minutes ago, she’d just finished with Yino, and afterward they’d lingered intimately in the bathroom for at least five more minutes.

Now, with Xinyao suddenly breaking in, Yuyan had been focused on wiping the saliva from her mouth and hadn’t even had time to reapply the lipstick that had been completely messed up.

So, while pretending to be aloof in front of the mirror, Yuyan couldn’t help but purse her lips slightly, trying to hide the color difference on her lips that had been thoroughly ruined.

“Yino was just helping me break a seal.”

After a moment of contemplation and mental adjustment, Yuyan spoke with somewhat cold detachment, maintaining the same story as Yino.

As she spoke, she glanced at Xinyao sideways, then somewhat reluctantly raised both hands to show the red marks on her wrists from being restrained.

“What kind of seal needs to be broken in a bathroom?”

Xinyao naturally didn’t buy this explanation, looking at Yuyan as if the word “cheating” was written all over her face.

However, Yuyan wasn’t the type to just endure everything.

Back at the Grand Tutor’s mansion, she’d heard Xinyao loudly cursing her late at night. At that time, Yuyan felt she was just going through the motions and was too lazy to argue with Xinyao.

But now… Yuyan had already developed an engagement relationship with Yino.

Emotionally and logically, she shouldn’t continue indulging Xinyao like this. Otherwise, when she really married into the He family as the young mistress, would Yuyan have to endure Xinyao, an outsider, gossiping about her every day?

“What goes on between Yino and me is none of your business as his aunt. Don’t you think you’re butting in where you don’t belong?”

At this point, Yuyan’s usually calm face started showing some serious irritation.

Unlike Xinyao, due to Yuyan’s background of scholarly family + martial arts training from childhood + chosen daughter of heaven + tall mature woman’s various characteristics, just a slight frown and glance from her carried tremendous impact and aloofness. In terms of aura alone, she’d already suppressed the petite spirit phenix who was barely over five feet tall.

Fortunately, though Xinyao might not match Yuyan’s noble bearing, at least she was well-connected. Her special status in the Great Dragon Dynasty still gave Xinyao confidence against this fair skinned, beautiful, cold swordwomen.

“Yino’s mother died early. Ever since Yino was two years old, his mother entrusted him to me to raise and care for!”

“You ask why I can’t interfere? Why don’t you first ask yourself what you even are to him!”

Xinyao put her hands on her hips, full of confidence when it came to seniority.

At these words, Yuyan’s lips immediately twitched. She actually wanted to retort immediately with her status as his lover, but considering Yino’s special circumstances, Yuyan held back from making decisions on her own.

It wasn’t that Yuyan felt inferior or worried about affecting Yino. She just had a naturally aloof personality and was unwilling to flaunt men as some kind of “bragging rights” in front of other women like those worldly women did.

That would make her feel somewhat cheap…

After all, status and position that needed others to explain for you to have prestige, what real big shot would introduce themselves by boasting about how awesome they were?

Thinking of this, Yuyan also sighed, pretending to be somewhat bored as she looked away. She found a box of rouge from the bathroom counter and applied it to her lips while speaking emotionlessly:

“I’m Yino’s senior sister. It’s only natural for Yino to help me break seals.”

“As for why it had to be in the bathroom, it’s because breaking seals requires channeling energy, and channeling energy requires removing clothes… So Yino and I did it in the bathroom since it’s private, to avoid being taken advantage of by certain rude thugs who break down doors!”

When she said the last sentence, Yuyan removed the rouge from her lips, pursing them while her lips also curved into an obvious cold smile.

She was talking to herself in the mirror, but Xinyao at the door saw every detail.

“Bitch, who’re you calling a thug!”

Xinyao immediately lost her shit from the insult.

She rushed forward to throw down with Yuyan, but Yino quickly grabbed her from behind.

“Aunty, please calm down. Senior Sister and I really were just channeling energy…”
