Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder - Chapter 542: Ch 542 - He isn’t someone you can just touch!

Chapter 542: Ch 542 – He isn’t someone you can just touch!

What the hell is happening right now…?

Yino looked at the Azure Dragon Princess who had appeared out of nowhere. He felt a sudden chill in his lower half, and the lust that had been stirred up by Hua’s seductive whispers and intoxicating fragrance vanished instantly.

He was certain now that Hua had been using some kind of charm magic on him.

She called herself a member of the Silver Dragon clan, but her true nature came from the Purple Sea Dragons of Taihu Lake. Despite the high-and-mighty elegance she displayed to the world, her instincts were still those of a sea dragon. Sea dragons were naturally lustful creatures, and their venom and mists acted as powerful aphrodisiacs. This was especially true for the purple variant, which specialized in seduction. Even after the clan evolved into Silver Dragons, those biological traits remained.

That explained why Hua had been dropping suggestive hints from the moment they met. She had definitely planned to poison him with her scent from the start.

However…

Yino had an advantage thanks to his ancient phoenix bloodline. Back then, even Jinyue’s innate charm body had a reduced effect on him. That was why Yino had been able to sit in Hua’s seductive fragrance for so long before finally feeling the effects of the poison.

The arrival of the Azure Dragon Princess was a relief. It allowed Yino’s blood pressure to drop and his racing heart to finally slow down.

“You believe she’ll be your willing pet once she becomes the empress? You’d be better off believing Nina could actually grow up to rule a territory!”

An athletic beauty wearing an Azure Dragon qipao sneered as she walked past Hua. She pulled over a chair and sat down next to Yino as if they were old friends.

Yino’s lips twitched at her words. He looked at the silver beauty across the table and saw that her face had already turned ashen. The seductive, tender expression she had used on Yino was gone, replaced by a cold, emotionless mask.

She didn’t even try to hide how fast she can flip that switch, Yino thought to himself.

He had expected this. In the game, the Silver Princess wasn’t some brainless beauty. She was always seen holding a book with a cold and distant purple eye. She wore her elegant qipao with pride and seemed completely uninterested in worldly desires.

Now that her charm magic was broken and her plan had failed, Hua didn’t bother acting anymore. She looked annoyed and cold.

“Yune, you’ve been trying to steal everything from me since we were kids!”

Hua stopped using her forced sultry voice. She spoke with a cold, haughty tone that perfectly matched her true persona from the game.

If Yuyan was the baseline for a cold beauty, then Chaerin was cold with a hint of softness. Shang Hua, however, was cold with seventy percent arrogance and thirty percent malice. Because of her royal upbringing, she maintained an elegant posture and didn’t make ugly faces, but her flawless face still radiated a sense of superiority over those she considered inferior.

It was clear that Hua wasn’t as magnanimous as she looked. Yune’s interruption had clearly broken her composure.

“So what if I am? This is how the world works. The strong eat the weak, and power is everything.”

The Azure beauty smiled faintly. She had a completely different style compared to the other princesses under the old Dragon Emperor. Nina was simple-minded, and Hua was cold, but Yune had the straightforward attitude of a general.

Because of this, Yune had the highest cultivation level among the sisters. In a 1v1 fight, she could probably take down the other princesses by herself.

Wait… Yino thought as he ran through the list. The white dragon my family supports really is useless besides being innocent. Is she only being pushed to the top because of Changli and the old Dragon Emperor? Nina… you dummy…

“Besides, was I wrong?”

Yune let out a mocking laugh. She turned to Yino and crossed her long legs, which were decorated with Azure Dragon patterns beneath her qipao. “Hua, didn’t you just promise to be this kid’s dragon girl and serve him in bed once you become the empress?”

“Since you’re being so sincere, I’ll act as a witness for you today. I happen to have a Divine Seal Paper right here. Why don’t you write the terms of your deal on this paper and let the Heavenly Dao witness it?”

“If Yino actually helps you take the throne and you try to back out of being his pet, this Divine Seal will call down heavenly lightning to shatter your soul!”

Yune thought the idea was hilarious and slapped the divine paper onto the table.

The Silver beauty’s face turned even paler from the humiliation. There was no way she would sign a slave contract with Yino! No matter how lustful her nature was, she hadn’t fallen that low.

Besides…

She was only testing the waters by investing in Yino. Who knew if he would actually be useful in the future? If he turned out to be worthless after she signed a soul contract, she would be forced to serve him even if she became the empress through her own hard work. That was impossible!

She had only said those things to stall for time. She wanted Yino to stay long enough to be fully affected by her dragon scent. She had used those provocative words to try and seal the deal.

Her plan had been one step away from succeeding, but Yune had brutally interrupted it.

To be honest, Yino was seventeen or eighteen; an age where boys were usually ruled by their hormones. yet he had a surprisingly high resistance to her charm. Normally, Hua only had to shift her high heels or show a bit of skin through her dress to make men kneel at her feet.

But it didn’t work on Yino.

Hua didn’t have any other tricks. She was a Silver Dragon Princess, not a common sea dragon. She had spent her life studying music, chess, calligraphy, and politics. Aside from her natural biological traits, like her scent and certain fluids

. she hadn’t actually trained in seduction techniques.

That was why she had tried to stall for time. She had leaned in close to his ear and breathed on him just to make him inhale more of her fragrance. She didn’t have any other moves. She hadn’t thought to spike his tea with her fluids, and she certainly wasn’t going to kiss him just to deliver the poison directly.

“See that, Yino?”

“This poisonous woman is full of lies. Let me tell you a secret: she’s been wicked since she was a child. While she was flirting with you, she was probably calling you trash and inferior in her head!”

Seeing that Hua was speechless, Yune leaned into Yino’s ear to talk trash. She made a “shh” gesture, but she didn’t lower her voice at all. She wanted Hua to hear every word.

Hua finally snapped. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

“So what if I lied to him?”

“I already said this was just an investment and a way to make a friend. I never asked Yino to betray the He mansion or the National Advisor!”

The silver princess’s chest heaved with anger. The cold malice in her eyes looked sharp enough to tear the Azure Princess to pieces.

Yune just laughed. She didn’t care that her sister was losing her cool. She leaned her elbow on the table, resting her chin in her hand as she stared at Yino with her dark green dragon eyes.

“Let me introduce myself. I am Qin Yune, the Azure Dragon Princess supported by the Lin mansion. I’m the eldest sister of Hua, Nina, and Xuan.”

“I’m not like Hua. I don’t play mind games.”

“I didn’t come here to talk about unrealistic things like usurping the throne. I believe in the old saying: ’Seek common ground while reserving differences.’”

“The Lin mansion and Young master Yino had a conflict regarding the marriage between Lin Ze and Ruoning. That much is true.”

“But now that you have won and Lin Ze has lost for his own reasons, I won’t take the Lin mansion’s side or ask for anything more.”

“That is the reserved difference.”

“As for the common ground, that would be the shared interests between this princess and young master Yino!”

Yune smiled faintly. Yino was already confused from dealing with two princesses at once. he didn’t dare say no.

“Yino, I heard that the Divine Gate is trying to kill you.”

“If you cooperate with me, I will keep you safe. I’ll help you deal with those old fogies from the Immortal Sects. This Azure Gold Talisman is a gift for our first meeting! If the Divine Gate actually pushes you into a corner, this Protective Talisman will save your life!”

Yune pulled an Azure Dragon token from her robe and placed it on the table. She used two fingers to slide the golden talisman toward Yino.

Yino looked down and recognized it as a top-tier treasure. He started to hesitate again. But then, the silver beauty slammed the table once more.

“She gives you one talisman; I’ll give you two Silver Imperial Talisman!”

Hua stopped acting seductive. she crossed her arms and threw her own treasures onto the table. Yino froze, his eyes darting between the two beauties. Their competitive streaks were fully ignited.

“This is an Azure Gold Sword Talisman. It can kill any enemy below the Emptiness Refining stage!” Yune added to the pile.

Hua laughed and upped the ante. “I’ll double it! This is a Silver Dragon Lock. It can suppress anyone below the Unity stage!”

“This is Azure Patterned Armor!”

“I’ll double it! Here are the Silver Patterned Silks!”

“This is Pureblood Azure Dragon Wine! It can….”

“I’ll double it! Here is the Pureblood Silver Jade Liquid!”

“This is…”

“I’ll double it!”

“I didn’t even say what it was yet! What the hell are you doubling?!” Yune stood up and shouted.

Hua sneered and looked away. “I don’t care what it is. I’m doubling it.”

“Fine! What if I marry him right now?!”

“If you dare to marry him, I’ll double the dowry. I’ll throw in that girl Ruoning and we can both marry him!”

“…”

“What? Are you scared?”

“You….!”

Half an hour passed.

In the pavilion of the ancient temple, the pile of magical items on the long table grew higher and higher. Yino had never seen a mountain of treasures like this in his life. He sat there shivering under the murderous intent radiating from the two princesses.

He didn’t dare to move… not even an inch.

“Enough!!!”

A shout from a girl outside the temple broke the argument. Everyone turned to look as the girl in the white dress walked in with a dark expression. She grabbed Yino in front of Yune and Hua and started pulling him out of the temple.

“Wait, stop right there!” Yune stood up.

“He is Lady Changli’s disciple,” Xinyao barked. “He isn’t someone you can just touch!”
