Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

"Later... Grandma used the nine-colored lotus from the bag to make soup for Grandfather, and within a few months, Grandfather\'s illness was miraculously cured."

"The elders said that many reclusive mountain people once lived on the snow-covered Northern Luo Snow Peak... and the nine-colored deer I saw that night might have been the legendary guardian spirit that truly existed on Northern Snow Mountain."

"The old woman said that our small village, far at the foot of Snow Peak, didn\'t technically belong to the snow mountain people under the nine-colored divine deer\'s protection.

It was probably that night when my grandmother encountered trouble while climbing the snow peak, and the kind nine-colored divine deer mistook her for one of the snow village people, thus fortunately saving her despite the misfortune. And that bag of herbs was indeed a gift from the nine-colored divine deer."

As she finished speaking, Yunjin smiled slightly.

She looked at the obedient white deer beside her, feeling deeply moved:

"After I grew up, I walked all the paths of Northern Snow Peak and saw countless wild snow deer, but I never found the nine-colored divine deer from that night again..."

"That night, I didn\'t even get a chance to thank the divine deer!"

"Later, I met Senior Sister Yuyan who came to Northern Luo to fight mountain bandits. With Senior Sister\'s introduction, I was fortunate enough to become a disciple of Wuji Sect... But after coming to Wuji Sect, I became even further from my hometown, and I\'m afraid I will never have the chance to encounter the divine deer again."

"So, when I just saw Wangxue, I couldn\'t help but be a bit lost in thought. As a beautiful snow deer, she awakened many childhood memories... The same goes for this Snow Village Genocide event. I haven\'t been sleeping well these days, always having an uneasy feeling in my heart. So when the Immortal Alliance issued the investigation mission, I immediately came to Ranmo Peak to find Young Master Yino!"

As Yunjin finished speaking, she clasped her hands in front of her chest and smiled with acceptance.

"Meh!"

At some point, Wangxue had also raised her cute face, calling out rather proudly. She nuzzled Yino\'s face, seeming to wag her tail and show off something.

Yino smiled helplessly, quickly rubbing Wangxue\'s head to show appreciation.

Unexpectedly, just like in Yunjin\'s childhood story...

After so many years, this silly deer still couldn\'t change her personality of liking to be praised by humans.

Reflecting on Yunjin\'s description, many plot points from the original game story in Yino\'s memory were thoroughly resolved.

In the game... The Snow Village was destroyed, and the nine-colored deer disappeared.

The Immortal Alliance issued a large-scale investigation mission, and Yunjin went to the Snow Village ruins with the main character to search for clues.

Later, under Jinyue\'s guidance and spoilers, Yunjin sensed some clues in the Snow Village, so after returning to Wuji Sect, Yunjin urgently followed the clues all the way to that ruined temple in the secret realm behind the mountain.

Then, the main character was also lured to the back mountain by Jinyue.

But by the time the protagonist arrived, it was already the night of the full moon.

At the last moment, the nine-colored deer gave Yunjin a blessing with her life. Yunjin struggled with all her might to break free from the seal, and just before the protagonist entered the Mountain Temple, she told him, "Run quickly, Senior Brother Gu is the murderer who massacred the Snow Village!"

As soon as Yunjin\'s words fell, Gu Wanglan pierced her heart with his sword.

Immediately after, the smile of the Mother Goddess of Life appeared in the sky above the Mountain Temple. Yunjin and the nine-colored deer were sacrificed together, and the boss battle between the protagonist and Gu Wanglan began...

-No wonder in the game, Yunjin was so sensitive to clues about the nine-colored deer. It turns out she had a resonance experience with the divine deer when she was three years old!-

Watching the intimate interaction between the girl and the deer, Yino couldn\'t help but ponder.

He looked at them gently and said with a smile:

"Don\'t worry. My Wangxue is so silly that she could survive well in the wild until she encountered me... The nine-colored deer is the guardian spirit of Northern Luo Mountain, how could it be easily captured by an evil cult?"

"Meh... meh?!"

The little deer looked surprised, not knowing whether to be angry or happy, feeling like she had been both insulted and complimented.

Meanwhile, Yunjin nodded, believing what he said.

"Young Master is right!"

" Meh Meh...?!" [You, you also think I\'m silly?!]

"It\'s just that I heard from the Immortal Alliance that the Snow Village has already suffered at the hands of the Western Region evil cult..."

The ahoge on top of Yunjin\'s head drooped down, and as she delved deeper into her emotions, her face inevitably showed melancholy.

Mentioning the scene of corpses strewn across the Snow Village, Yino could only purse his lips and silently clasp his hands together: "I only said the divine deer was fine, I didn\'t say anything about the Snow Village..."

"Hm?"

Yunjin tilted her head, looking at Yino, not understanding why the latter half of his sentence had no sound.

Yino took a deep breath and still smiled with difficulty: "As for the Snow Village, aren\'t we about to take on the Immortal Alliance\'s mission to investigate the truth?"

"Oh, oh, that\'s right! We should hurry up now!"

...

...

...

"Senior Sister Jinyue, did you fill out two application forms?"

At the mission registration window of the Immortal Alliance branch, Chen Jianxin looked at the two tokens in the red-dressed girl\'s hand with confusion.

For this large-scale mission, each disciple who registered would receive an Immortal Alliance token, which would be needed to claim their merits when the mission was completed.

But just now, Chen Jianxin noticed that Jinyue had taken an extra token.

"Yes, my world\'s best friend isn\'t coming, so I can only register for him first~"

"But why isn\'t he coming? Is he too lazy to even register?"

"Oh, that\'s not it~"

Jinyue took off a token engraved with the surname [He], clutched it in her palm, and secretly hid it behind her back.

Her eyes curved into crescents as she raised a finger to her lips with her other hand, revealing a sweet smile: "Because if someone who registers and receives the base pay doesn\'t participate in the mission at all, according to the rules, they\'ll lose credibility points with the Immortal Alliance..."

"Ah, there are people who freeload like that?"

Chen Jianxin looked bewildered.

He scratched his head and asked in confusion: "But with so many disciples, how can the Immortal Alliance monitor everyone?"

Jinyue shrugged her shoulders, her enchanting eyes continuing to gaze at the flow of people at the main hall entrance—

"The Immortal Alliance doesn\'t need to check. If he doesn\'t come, I\'ll just report him after the mission is over!"

"Huh?"

"Alright~ Stop asking about my business, mind your own!"

Jinyue smiled coldly and turned to leave.

In a corner where no one noticed, she tied a red string to the token engraved with [He], then secretly hid the token on her thigh, where her white over-knee socks pressed into her flesh.
