I, a Villainous Cannon Fodder, Pick Up the Female Lead at the Start? Chapter 153

Chapter 153: It’s Over…

***

Lin Muyu’s vision suddenly blurred. The fallen leaf that had been on the ground was suddenly lifted by an invisible force and fell into a slender, pale hand.

Through the bead’s field of vision, she looked outward and t a pair of eyes glowing with a faint purple light.

Those eyes were long and alluring, yet carried a heart-pounding coldness, as if they could see through any disguise.

She couldn’t make out the face of this black-clothed person, because their face was covered with a layer of light purple veil, embroidered with intricate dark patterns that trembled gently with each breath.

“There’s actually a third person…”

Lin Muyu thought weakly, only hoping that the other party was just bluffing and hadn’t actually discovered her.

She should have thought of it earlier, it was impossible for only two silly little minions to be guarding sothing this important.

“Little mouse, won’t you co out? If you don’t co out soon, big sister will have to get serious~”

The woman’s voice carried a lazy playfulness, truly like a cat toying with a mouse.

As her words fell, wisps of thick black energy, dark as ink, erged from her pale fingertips. That dark energy seed to have a life of its own, quickly wrapping around the leaf.

In just an instant, the leaf was completely enveloped by the dark energy, and was ultimately forced back to its original form.

The colorful star mark on the bead also seed to be covered with a layer of gray, its color fading by more than half.

“Master… it hurts so much…”

A weak moan suddenly rang out.

Xiaotao, who had been staying by Lin Muyu’s side, suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground without warning.

Even more bizarre, the space around her seed to be penetrated by the dark energy, with threads of dark patterns seeping out from the void.

Lin Muyu’s heart tightened. She couldn’t care about anything else anymore and quickly stepped forward to support Xiaotao firmly, then carried her to the wooden bed nearby.

By the bedside, she happened to et Xiaomu, who had been awakened by the dark energy’s disturbance. She hurriedly instructed:

“Xiaomu, take care of Xiaotao first. I’ll be right back.”

After speaking, she took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in her heart, turned around and withdrew from this space.

She knew very well that she had to leave. That woman’s power could actually penetrate this place. Staying here would only be waiting for death.

The mont she stepped out of the space, Lin Muyu raised her hand without hesitation.

Colorful Star – Sea-Calming Crystal Sword!

The sword body flowed with colorful halos, it was the Crystal Sword’s strongest form.

She gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands and without a mont’s hesitation, slashed fiercely toward the woman before her!

At the sa ti, she mobilized all the spiritual energy in her body. Under her will, that spiritual energy quickly condensed into purple lightning, all attached to the sword body, forming an all-out attack with nothing held back!

But facing this imposing strike, the woman didn’t even dodge.

She raised her eyes slightly. In those deep purple eyes, there wasn’t a trace of fear, but rather a playful smile, as if watching an insignificant farce.

With just two slender fingers extending forward elegantly, as graceful as plucking a flower, she steadily caught Lin Muyu’s full-powered strike!

The mont the blade touched her fingertips, it didn’t even produce a single spark, as if Lin Muyu’s desperate attack was nothing more than a child’s joke in her eyes.

“It’s over, this is at least a Nascent Soul stage…”

Lin Muyu’s heart sank. A desperate thought instantly seized her.

Her strike missing its mark, the spiritual energy in her body was completely drained, her strength exhausted. Unable to support her body any longer, she collapsed to the ground.

The Crystal Sword also lost its color and fell to the ground.

Looking at the woman before her, she only felt powerless. Facing such a vast gap in strength, whether it was Xiaotao’s space or her own desperate strike, neither could earn her the slightest chance of survival.

What made her even more disheartened was that right now, even Su Wanqing wasn’t by her side. No one could save her anymore…

The woman elegantly tossed the Bead of Shattering Delusions aside, then slowly stepped forward. After walking up to Lin Muyu, she crouched down, her gaze examining Lin Muyu.

Watching Lin Muyu gasping for breath, pale-faced yet still forcing herself to hold on, she suddenly let out a sweet laugh, her voice sweet yet carrying bone-chilling coldness.

“Oh my, a little girl at the Foundation Establishnt stage, with a handso face, and possessing two spirit weapons, looks like your talent isn’t bad at all.”

As soon as her words fell, the woman extended her hand, her fingertips reaching toward Lin Muyu’s cheek.

“Don’t touch !”

A flash of defiance crossed Lin Muyu’s eyes. Using her last bit of strength, she raised her hand, trying to slap the woman’s hand away.

But her movents were far too slow in the woman’s eyes.

With a slight flip of her wrist, the woman easily restrained both of Lin Muyu’s hands, while her other hand rcilessly grabbed Lin Muyu’s delicate neck, gradually increasing the pressure.

“Ngh… ngh…”

The sensation of suffocation instantly struck. Lin Muyu felt her throat being clamped as if by iron pincers, breathing becoming extrely difficult.

Her small face turned red from the strain, her vision gradually darkening, and her consciousness slowly blurring.

Only when Lin Muyu was about to pass out did the woman slowly release her hand, as if tired of playing with a toy.

“Cough… cough cough…”

Lin Muyu gasped for several breaths. Fresh air rushed into her lungs, making her cough violently.

Her small chest, about the size of a stead bun, rose and fell irregularly. That sense of relief from escaping death, mixed with fear, spread through her heart.

“Hehehe, you little girl are quite interesting.”

Watching her like this, the woman’s eyes were full of enjoynt, as if Lin Muyu’s struggle and pain were all pleasures to entertain her.

Only then did Lin Muyu fully understand, this woman had never considered her an opponent. From beginning to end, she was rely prey in the other’s eyes that could be toyed with at will!

“What do you want from !”

Lin Muyu raised her head, her eyes full of anger, glaring at the woman, her voice hoarse from the recent suffocation.

“Nothing much.”

The woman spoke lightly, her fingertip twirling a strand of dark energy, her tone casual.

“I just think you’d make a decent vessel, perfect for containing the Seed of Demonic Corruption~”

“Seed of Demonic Corruption?”

Lin Muyu froze, then as if rembering sothing, her expression suddenly changed.

Wasn’t that the terrifying thing from earlier?

This woman actually said she wanted to use her as a carrier for that thing… Wouldn’t she, eroded by demonic energy, beco so kind of inhuman monster?

As this thought erged, Lin Muyu’s small face instantly turned deathly pale, her lips trembling slightly.

She would rather die than beco such a monster!

“Kill !”

She stiffened her neck, her voice carrying a sense of determination, staring intensely at the woman.

“No rush.”

The woman chuckled lightly, shaking her head, a trace of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

“Let first see if you’re suitable to be this vessel.”

Before her words had fallen, she roughly tore open the clothes at Lin Muyu’s chest.

Before Lin Muyu could cry out, the woman’s fingertip pressed on Lin Muyu’s chest, and a strand of dark energy, like a venomous snake, suddenly burrowed into Lin Muyu’s body.

“Agh… it hurts!”

Lin Muyu sucked in a sharp breath, a shrill cry of pain escaping her lips.

That demonic energy carried extrely strong corrosive properties. After entering her ridians, it was like countless small knives frantically cutting. Every ridian was in pain!

She trembled all over from the pain, wanting nothing more than to roll on the ground to relieve this suffering, but her body was pinned down by the woman, and she could only endure this torture.

“Please… kill …”

The intense pain made Lin Muyu’s vision darken. In a daze, she rembered trigeminal neuralgia that she had heard about in her previous life, recognized as one of the most painful conditions in that world.

But right now, she felt the pain she was enduring was several tis more intense than that, not sothing a human could endure at all.

“Still not working?”

The woman frowned, watching Lin Muyu’s agonized state. A trace of disappointnt flashed in her eyes as she gently shook her head.

But just then, Lin Muyu suddenly felt a slight tremor from her dantian.

As soon as that tremor appeared, the demonic energy that had been rampaging through her ridians suddenly beca docile, obediently surging toward her dantian.

Seeing Lin Muyu’s wailing gradually stop and her complexion ease sowhat, a gleam instantly flashed in the woman’s eyes, a aningful smile curving at the corners of her mouth.

Without hesitation, she imdiately injected more demonic energy into Lin Muyu’s body, wanting to verify her suspicion.

“Ahhh…”

Pain even more intense than before swept over her again. Lin Muyu convulsed and twitched all over, cold sweat soaking her clothes, her consciousness blurring once more.

But before long, that familiar tremor ca from her dantian again. Those surging waves of demonic energy quieted down once more, docilely gathering toward her dantian.

“So it’s actually a Demonic-Affinity Physique? That’s much better than a vessel for resentnt~”

“? Another physique? Original owner, what exactly is going on with your body…”
