Master is still waiting for her little pillow~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Muyu was frowning with worry, a lazy female voice reached her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu’s eyes immediately lit up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, you’re here too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’m just a strand of spiritual energy she left on you that triggers when you encounter danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Muyu looked at Xinlian with newfound respect:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master is quite reliable after all. Quick, take me out of here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Weren’t you very reluctant to leave this place? Why are you suddenly in such a hurry to get out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xinlian’s spiritual energy asked with some confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reluctant, naturally I’m reluctant… but this place is ultimately just a dream, not real. It’s fine to indulge for a moment, but I can’t sink into it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu’s tone was tinged with some dejection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She liked this place, yet she understood that it would eventually shatter like bubbles, and she didn’t want falsehood to contaminate her real memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad. To have such awareness at such a young age, it seems the main body didn’t choose the wrong person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m just a strand of spiritual energy. I can’t tear through this carefully arranged illusion~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu immediately stood there dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was merely a Qi Refining stage cultivator and didn’t understand methods for breaking illusions at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even Master was powerless, wouldn’t she have no way out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her spinning anxiously in circles, the spiritual energy stopped teasing her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry. Since the main body didn’t come, it means we can solve this ourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words lifted Lin Muyu’s spirits:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master already knows?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The matters here can’t be hidden from her, but she right now… might be sleeping.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy’s words left Lin Muyu pursing her lips helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really felt that Xinlian could go star in “I Am Not the Sleep God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly a powerful Peak Master, clearly not needing to sleep, yet always sleeping all day long, and always using her as a pillow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although being used as a pillow was indeed quite comfortable and gave her a great sense of security…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had her pride too! She didn’t want to be a pillow for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what should we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu blinked her long eyelashes toward the sky. Compared to that sleep-loving Master, this strand of spiritual energy seemed more reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush. Let me investigate thoroughly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, the spiritual energy began emanating threads of golden fluorescence around itself, slowly probing in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Found it! There’s a weak point in this world. We can get out from here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu’s eyes brightened as she urgently asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the spiritual energy’s words fell, a map quietly materialized in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is… Teacher’s house?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at that familiar location, Lin Muyu was slightly dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no time to lose. Let’s set out quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the deep night outside the window, Lin Muyu hesitated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about we go tomorrow instead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That won’t work. By tomorrow, this illusion will be completely solidified and much harder to escape from.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy’s words made Lin Muyu’s heart tighten, and she immediately tried to spring up with a carp-like motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ow, my back…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had forgotten that in this illusion, she was just an ordinary girl without a cultivator’s physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having no choice, she could only endure the soreness as she put on her dress, then gently opened her room door and looked toward the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to turn on the light when her extended hand suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, a pair of pitch-black pupils were quietly watching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…A ghost?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu instantly held her breath, her heartbeat suddenly accelerating. Instinctively, she turned on the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing who it was, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Mother Lin standing straight in the middle of the hallway, looking at her with gentle eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yu, still not asleep?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Lin’s tone carried some confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu quickly smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came out to use the bathroom. Mom, what are you standing here for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just about to go too. Since you also need to go, you go first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Lin was still smiling, but this smile was clearly the same as during the day, yet in the dim hallway, it somehow added a few traces of eeriness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu hurriedly waved her hands:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, you go first. I can wait a bit longer, no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, she turned and slipped back into her room, gently closing the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yu, go to bed early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother’s reminder came from outside the door, followed by footsteps gradually fading away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu pressed against the door to confirm her mother had left, then once again opened the door a crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the faint moonlight streaming through the hallway window to confirm no one was there, she carefully snuck out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only she didn’t notice that in the shadows around the corner, a pair of pitch-black eyes were staring straight at her retreating figure.\u003C\u002Fp>",1106,"2026-06-06T16:56:29.155Z",1,"novelbin.me","3a5371160ad2101e216d6ebc789235596d4ea44e37b7231fac086fc74c1bea27","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-50","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-48",149,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--cover.jpg"]
