Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder - Chapter 400 - 400: Ch 400 - Master, Let Me Explain!!! II

“Is that so.”

Hearing this, Yuyan’s finally showed some wavering.

Indeed, her hands were stained with demon blood.

Actually, Yuyan had often pondered the demon race issue over the years.

As a righteous cultivator, she would naturally receive subjugation missions issued by the Immortal Alliance. Yuyan had indeed gone down the mountain frequently to slay demons and eliminate evil for common people during her journeys.

This was perfectly normal in the Great Dragon Dynasty.

Everyone said those demons were very cunning. They disguised themselves as humans and mixed into the world. Some would steal and eat human children on full moon nights, some would drain human essence in the form of beauties, and among them, the phoenix race was considered the most evil, because they had once been enemies of the human race, attempting to destroy both humans and dragons to dominate the entire wordl alone…

Hating the demon race seemed to have become routine for every cultivator.

But Yuyan could also see the other side of things.

During a subjugation mission, she had once been begged by several village elders to spare a snow demon…

During a wolf demon subjugation mission, she had once pushed open a door, only to see several little wolf cubs obediently lying on the bed listening to their mother tell fairy tales…

Even more so, Yuyan had personally witnessed a nine-colored deer that protected a snow village fight cultists to the very end before being captured for sacrifice.

Could those guardian spirits also be considered monsters?

Now… Yino, Jinyue, Xinyao, Wangxue, Lily, Liuli, all of them are demons…

Before she knew it, demons seemed to have filled various positions around her.

All of this forced Yuyan to reconsider the demon race issue.

“You’re just a human – what do you understand! Do you think relationships between humans and demons can be as simple as you imagine, that you can just casually have cross-species marriages?!”

“Yuyan, aren’t you afraid of bearing the infamy of consorting with demons if you marry Yino in the future?”

“Even if you really have the courage to be infamous throughout the Great Dragon Dynasty, Yino’s marriage isn’t something the Grand Tutor’s alone can decide. This matter also requires his mother’s side to agree before you can marry!”

Speaking so passionately to this point, Xinyao finally had a chance to catch her breath.

She had already described the difficulties to this extent. For the like of Yuyan who still had a bright future in the cultivation world, she should at least know when to back down and face reality.

After all, Yuyan was still very young, and her future path was long. Given her current growth momentum, she had every chance of becoming one of the few peak cultivator in the future.

Why ruin her own future by marrying a demon evil cultivator like Yino?

Once this matter spread, not only would Yuyan’s reputation be completely ruined, but even her Wuji Sect and the Mo family ancestors would all be implicated.

After all, hating the demon race had already become one of the shared beliefs among today’s human race.

A dignified destined daughter chosen by heaven marrying into the demon race was simply slapping the face of the entire Wuji Sect and even the cultivation world!

“Aunty…”

“I’m not that bad, am I? You’re talking like I’m some kind of goblin…”

Yino really couldn’t listen anymore. He certainly understood the demon race’s situation, but precisely because Yino had considerable insight into the game’s background, he knew Xinyao was exaggerating.

The Great Dragon Dynasty did indeed exclude the demon race, but that was just political correctness propaganda for the lower classes.

If they really hated the demon race that much, how could Nina possibly give Yino a token after knowing his identity?

If being a phoenix meant blood feuds, how could the Grand Tutor’s Mansion risk having their nine generations executed to adopt Yino?

Hey, in the end, wasn’t it all about tangled interests?

Xinyao, as a Hundred Spirits Pavilion master who had been operating in the Great Dragon Dynasty for years, definitely understood this better than Yino.

She was just deliberately playing dumb to scare Yuyan, who didn’t understand.

“You little brat, what do you know? Don’t interrupt when adults are talking!”

Xinyao snorted coldly and glared at Yino. That look was so fierce that the fear of his aunt’s authority carved into his bones immediately scared him into silence.

On the other side, Xinyao also looked back at the white-robed woman who had been scolded into silence, saying lightly:

“Yuyan, if you’re sensible, don’t come pestering Yino anymore in the future!”

“You are human, he is demon.”

“You are a righteous cultivator, he is an evil cultivator tainted by the Demon Abyss.”

“You are naturally incompatible. If this continues long-term, there will inevitably be a calamity in the future… This is simple logic. Even if I don’t say it, you should understand it clearly in your heart.”

“So you’re not the same type of people. It’s better to part amicably now, which will be good for both of you in the future.”

“Well, this is so-called destiny.”

By the end, when Xinyao mentioned the word “destiny,” she couldn’t help but bite her red lips, her delicate and cute face also taking on some unspeakable hidden meaning.

But as the final word “destiny” fell, Yuyan who had been silent for a long time suddenly smiled in relief.

She raised her beautiful eyes, staring straight at Yino, her eyes showing brilliant points of light, as if the young man before her was the destined light she believed in.

“Miss Xinyao’s word makes sense.”

“It’s just that this so-called destiny, I have already found it!”

-Dragon Palace-

A red-robed beauty sat alone by the poolside pavilion. Her right hand supported her cheek while her left hand held a chess piece, her light golden phoenix eyes squinting as she silently observed the chess game, lost in a long daze.

“This chess game…”

“Has become somewhat unpredictable…”

The red-robed beauty spoke softly.

She closed her eyes, and the chess piece in her hand fell to the ground, bursting into golden flames.

Tap…

Tap…

A series of hurried footsteps came from behind the pavilion. The red-robed beauty finally returned to her senses from deep thought.

She didn’t turn around, just sat up straight, her light golden phoenix eyes slowly looking back, waiting with peripheral vision for those footsteps in the rain to stop behind her.

“Master…”

The girl spoke softly. Though her face wasn’t visible, the red beauty had already conjured the image of that dragon girl’s aggrieved cute face.

“Be conscious and lie down.”

The red-robed beauty spoke lightly, somehow having picked up the ruler that had been placed on the chess board.

This ruler seemed to be carved from beautiful diamonds, but when held in the red-robed woman’s hand, golden-red flame curse marks instantly spread up to the ruler’s tip.

Before long, the entire ruler was like an enchanted holy artifact.

The originally exquisite diamond material had now been burned into a golden-red flame luster.

“Master…”

“Right here?”

Nina was immediately frightened, her little bottom tightening just from seeing the ruler. Her already worried and fearful face became even more filled with despair and terror.

Rumble!!!

The rainy weather was perfectly timed with a thunderclap and lightning.

The dragon girl was so scared she covered her ears. She had been most afraid of thunder since childhood, because her master’s cultivation was very high. Every time she made her master angry, it would rain and thunder, so over time, thunder had become some kind of beating signal in Nina’s subconscious.

“Right here. Lie down. There’s no one around the Heavenly Pool.”

The woman in red robes still didn’t turn around. She spoke in a calm voice.

Her tone carried a certain majesty. She sounded like she was the true Dragon Emperor of this Great Dragon Dynasty, while Nina seemed like just a little maid she had adopted.

” (ó﹏ò｡)”

The dragon girl didn’t dare disobey the imperial decree. She finally lay obediently across the chess table, positioning her bottom toward the red-robed beauty who sat at one side of the chess table.

The woman glanced at her and gripped the flaming ruler tighter in her left hand.

Smack!

“Ahhhhhh!!!!!!”

“Pleasse M… Master, forgive me, I was wrong…”

“Master, let me explain! I didn’t want to expose my identity either, but….”

Smack!!

Another crisp strike landed.

“Wuaaaaah °՞(ᗒᗣᗕ;)՞°!!!!!!”

“Wait, wait! Master, let me explain! I only acted to save that guy Yino!”

Nina’s survival instincts kicked in with her crying. The third ruler strike that was about to fall finally stopped.

The red beauty raised her eyebrows slightly and asked curiously.

“You mean, you did this to save Yino?”

“Yes yes yes! Master, listen to me. That Yino isn’t ordinary…. Eyaaaah!!!!!!”

The girl thought she was saved and started to explain at length.

But halfway through her words, the suspended burning ruler struck her butt hard again.

Smack!!

“Keep talking.”

The red beauty smiled slightly.
