Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

“…?!”

Nina blinked, somewhat unable to react.

Gradually, she felt that the fierce wind that had been stinging her face was no longer so violent. The reason was that the black-robed boy who had his back to the gale had stepped forward to shield her.

She stood still, not moving.

But as the young man stood in front of her, Nina began to feel the warmth of being protected in his embrace…

Her ears no longer hurt, and her face was no longer stung by the wind. Only then did the world suddenly become strangely quiet amid the explosions. And feeling the young man’s heartbeat at such close range, Nina’s heart also inexplicably experienced an unprecedented sense of peace.

Though this wasn’t truly the end of the world, at this moment, she felt as if the entire world had gone quiet, leaving only her and the young man.

Silence lingered for a long time.

Once the explosion from the front line had dispersed and the fierce wind suddenly stopped, the warm hands covering Nina’s ears hesitated briefly before slowly letting go.

“Don’t worry, this is just the first wave of the Demon Abyss colliding with the Holy Church’s barrier.”

“Both are extremely powerful energy fluctuations, so it’s normal for them to produce deafening repulsive winds.”

Yino withdrew his hands and spoke calmly.

Although the sonic boom had ended, Nina’s mind was still quiet.

She listened to the young man’s concerns and slowly raised her small face, but she didn’t immediately leave his embrace, still standing close to him.

“What’s wrong? Are you frightened?”

“That can’t be, you’re the future empress of the Great Dragon Dynasty, aren’t you?”

Yino observed the dazed expression on the white dragon girl’s face and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

This time, hearing the word “empress,” the white dragon girl blinked and suddenly came back to her senses from her previous daze.

She silently swallowed and took a step back, peering out from in front of Yino to look at the front line where the sun was setting.

Although they were far apart, Nina could still vaguely see the battle fires on the front line.

“Look, my senior sister is also heading out to battle.”

Yino turned to the side and continued to point at a white light outside the city with a smile.

He spoke with a hint of pride, as if the person who had been chased for eight streets by the white-robed sword immortal as an evil cultivator earlier in the day wasn’t him at all…

“That’s Yuyan.”

Nina was momentarily stunned and followed Yino’s gesture to look into the sky.

She had heard the esteemed name of the white-robed sword immortal before. She was the sword leader of the Wuji Sect and also Yino’s senior sister. Now, it was perfectly reasonable for Yuyan to head to the front line as the representative disciple of the Wuji Sect.

“So you see.”

“Senior sister has already rushed to the front line, and as the hero chosen by the sacred sword, I naturally won’t be left behind!”

At this point, Yino suddenly brought the topic back to his initial explanation to Nina.

Nina was briefly stunned, finding the black-robed boy before her very true in his words.

Although he had done bad things, somehow…

Nina didn’t know why, but she felt that he seemed to have his reasons for acting as he did.

“But…”

“But there’s something I still don’t understand.”

At some point, Nina refocused her gaze on Yino’s eyes.

Yino raised an eyebrow slightly:

“What don’t you understand?”

“I don’t understand why you have Phoenix bloodline, and why your aura is that of an evil cultivator…”

At this point, Nina also felt conflicted and gently bit her lip.

Her master had said that the world isn’t simply black and white, and that there isn’t just a division between good and evil, right and wrong.

Now… Looking at this young man who was on the evil path yet full of righteousness, she deeply felt that this was indeed the dilemma her master had always mentioned.

“You don’t understand, and neither do I!”

“I also don’t understand why I wasn’t born in your dragon palace to be a dragon!”

“But reincarnation itself is a profound mystery, let alone bloodlines. Who can truly decide their own fate?”

“For both you and me, weren’t our different destinies and futures already determined from the moment we were born?”

Yino solemnly changed the subject.

Regarding the Phoenix bloodline issue, he actually wasn’t clear either, but these seemingly profound yet essentially meaningless lines were more than enough to fool the young empress.

And obviously, these words indeed confused Nina.

Nina blankly pondered the reasoning the young man had given. Combining it with the philosophy her master had always taught her, she somehow felt that although the two sets of words were different, their general meaning mysteriously converged to some degree.

“I see.”

“Good and evil aren’t determined by bloodline, and belief isn’t divided by right and wrong… You’re just a rebel under the mockery of fate…”

The dragon girl nodded faintly, feeling that the doubts in her heart had temporarily been answered.

If she wanted to further investigate the connection between the Phoenix bloodline and the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, pressing Yino would obviously be an indiscriminate punishment, as he was innocent after all, and his bloodline wasn’t something he could decide.

“So, Your Majesty.”

“With the great danger approaching the front lines, would Your Majesty be interested in joining me to confront the Demon Abyss?”

The twilight grew darker, but the black-robed young man showed no sign of weariness. He slightly curved his lips upward and extended his palm to the dragon girl in front of him.

For a moment, Nina felt that this unprecedented arduous mission seemed to have fallen on her shoulders as well.

She was no longer an observer.

She had truly received a main quest invitation to join Yino in rushing to the front line to save Western Province City from the Demon Abyss!

“Can I really join?”

“Of course, you are the future empress of the Great Dragon Dynasty after all.”

Yino narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully.

Seeing the dragon girl’s innocent and longing expression, he couldn’t help but think of a certain black-haired witch who once swept through the third volume.

In the game…

That witch was the pillar of the Witch Sect in the early stages, hundreds of times more terrifying than Jinyue during the same period. In the major event of the Demon Abyss wave in the third volume, this witch lady was like a final boss who could slay immortals and Buddhas alike. Even Yuyan, the chosen one of the Jianlan Sect, and the holy maiden Yunmei together couldn’t gain the upper hand against her.

Later, if it weren’t for the protagonist’s sneak attack that ended the Demon Abyss wave, that witch lady would definitely have continued her killing spree in Western Province City.

Originally, Yino naturally didn’t plan to go to the front line to face this combat powerhouse from the Witch Sect.

He intended to follow the original protagonist’s route, infiltrate deep into the Demon Abyss to destroy the chaos core, end the Demon Abyss wave first, and then launch a sneak attack to ruthlessly reap the rewards…

But now the situation had changed!

Look at this dragon girl with her eyes gleaming, full of dreams and aspirations about saving the world!

This is Nina, the white dragon empress of the Great Dragon Dynasty in the game!

With this dragon-form cheat code by his side, wouldn’t Yino stride confidently before the various villain bosses in the third volume?

Fallen witch?

That’s nothing.

His idiot dragongirl would slap her dead with one palm!

“Come! Let’s save the world together and beat up those evil witches!”

At some point, Yino drew the sword at his waist, pointing it directly at the southwest front line outpost.

Western Province City’s front line outposts were divided into two: northwest and southwest.

The explosion just now was at the northwest, and naturally, Yuyan had also rushed to support the northwest.

Yino’s original plan was indeed to rendezvous with Liuli, the holy maiden of the Full Moon Sect, at the northwest outpost.

But given the current situation…

With a dragongirl nuclear bomb at his side, Yino felt it would be better not to blow up his own people at the northwest outpost. Wouldn’t it be better to blast the witch team that didn’t know its place in the southwest?

“Alright!”

“Let’s save the world!”

Nina raised both hands high, and bathed in this atmosphere of war crisis, her emotions were finally stirred by Yino.

She had listened to her mother’s fairy tales at her bedside for decades, and now she finally had the chance to go to the battlefield and experience it firsthand. Nina was beside herself with excitement.

But just as she boarded Yino’s bandit ship, her heart surging as she rushed toward the southwest front line—

[Nina, you are forbidden to take action in the mortal realm. This is a rule that has been passed down through generations of the true dragon clan.]

“E-eh?”
