Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder - Chapter 399 - 399: Ch 399 - Master, Let Me Explain!!!

Ch 399 – Master, Let Me Explain!!!

“…”

After Yuyan’s relentless attack, Xinyao finally had nothing left to say.

Her face turned red and puffed out like an angry little hamster. She pointed at the woman sitting next to Yino, looking totally defeated. Here she was, the one who’d been there first, and now this newcomer was lecturing her from some moral high ground.

What pissed her off even more? She couldn’t even fight back!

She couldn’t exactly slam her fist on the table and tell Yino not to marry this woman…

“I don’t care how great you think you are – it’s pointless. Yino getting married isn’t as simple as you think!”

Xinyao gave up trying to argue logically and just lunged forward, grabbing Yino’s arm away from Yuyan.

She yanked Yino up from the sofa. He had no clue what was happening, but he let his aunt pull him up and followed behind her anyway.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Yuyan was starting to pick up on something weird from the girl’s flushed face.

But she still couldn’t believe what she was thinking. After all, Xinyao was supposed to be his aunt – there couldn’t possibly be some messed up family drama going on like Yuyan suspected, right?

Meanwhile, Xinyao didn’t give a damn about holding Yino’s hand right in front of her.

“Yuyan, if you really fought with Yino under the Demon Abyss and took down the Pain Mother Goddess, then you should know that his bloodline and powers are way more complicated than you think!”

She sounded all serious, but the way she was casually yet intimately holding hands with Yino made Yuyan’s eyes narrow. She was definitely picking up on some suspicious thing.

Still, Yuyan was splitting her attention between analyzing Xinyao and listening to what she was saying:

“Wait, you’re talking about his bloodline…?”

She just repeated the words without thinking at first.

But three seconds later, when certain memories came flooding back, Yuyan instantly got what Xinyao was hinting at.

That’s right. Back in Western Province City, Yuyan had already sensed something was off about Yino.

All his bullshit about having his cultivation completely destroyed? Total lies.

Not only had Yino’s cultivation not been destroyed, but he’d also had the Full Moon holy maiden and the Ancient Tree Spirit calling him master under the Demon Abyss. Obviously, Yino had been hiding a ton of secrets from Yuyan the whole time.

Then Yino got even more ridiculous.

He straight up showed off this demonic aura and pulled off some crazy stunt where he refined the Mother Goddess’s heart with his bare hands…

The guy clearly wasn’t normal at all.

Hell, Yino might not even be human.

And the Grand Tutor’s Mansion was one of the oldest and most powerful human factions in the Great Dragon Dynasty. Someone half human, half demon like Yino really shouldn’t be hanging around a place dedicated to human heritage.

“Honestly… I think you just got all hot and bothered watching Yino kick ass under the Demon Abyss, so now your basic female instinct to worship strong guys is going crazy!”

“You haven’t thought through what marriage actually means as a life decision!”

As she said this, Xinyao put her hands on her hips, suddenly acting like she knew everything.

And honestly? Xinyao had every right to be confident.

She’d been with Yino for over ten years, and even now she still couldn’t figure out if her feelings for him were romantic or just family love…

And Yuyan?

She was just some outsider who’d only known Yino for six months. If she had any sense at all, she wouldn’t be so casually talking about marrying him.

So in Xinyao’s mind, Yuyan was only attracted to two things.

First, she was attracted to Yino’s bloodline and talent.

Second, she was attracted to his family background and future prospects.

Beyond that, any actual romantic feelings were probably pathetic.

Thinking about it this way, Xinyao felt even more confident. After all, she’d been wrestling with this relationship way longer than Yuyan had even known about it.

“Yuyan, aren’t you curious why our Grand Tutor sent you to take Yino up the mountain to train in the first place?”

Xinyao threw out another serious question.

Yuyan had been wondering about this for ages. She’d always figured it was the Grand Tutor’s Mansion and the Wuji Sect master trying to set up two young people.

But now, facing Xinyao’s intense stare, her previously solid theory started to wobble.

“Wasn’t it to get us together?”

Rain started pattering outside, and Yuyan couldn’t help but ask nervously.

Xinyao nearly laughed with anger: “Haha, you think way too highly of yourself!”

“Do you seriously think you’re that important? The Grand Tutor elders sent Yino to Wuji Sect because his bloodline and background are special. He only had Qi Refinement level back then. If he’d stayed in Luo City, just his demon blood alone could’ve gotten him killed by court enemies!”

“You’re from a righteous immortal sect. Don’t you get how much demon races are hated in the Great Dragon Dynasty these days?”

The rain outside got heavier, and Xinyao stepped forward, propping her foot up on the coffee table. The angrier she got, the more she glared at Yuyan with disgust.

This familiar hostility reminded Yuyan of when she first visited the Grand Tutor’s Mansion.

Xinyao had been consistent the whole time.

She’d hated Yuyan six months ago, and now that she’d revealed her special background, she naturally hated her even more.

Because in this world, except for the supreme dragon race, all other demon races were basically treated like evils in the Great Dragon Dynasty.

Among them, those righteous immortal sects were naturally the demon race’s greatest enemies.

For Yuyan to climb step by step to the position of Sword Chief Senior Sister, she must have built her reputation in the martial world over the years through so-called “demon slaying and evil elimination”…

“Is that so.”

Hearing this, Yuyan’s finally showed some wavering.
