With a crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child in her grasp let his hands fall limply, his terrified pupils losing focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Why should I listen to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching a living life perish before her eyes, Lin Muyu’s heart clenched with sharp pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Uncle Li’s child… How could she ever explain this to the children’s parents…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a girl, aren’t you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold voice came from the woman’s mouth, those snake-like thin pupils staring intently at Lin Muyu, like locking onto prey, sending chills of fear through anyone who saw them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An interested expression appeared on the woman’s face as she took elegant steps, pressing closer to Lin Muyu step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what if I am? What do you want to do?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A damp, evil aura rushed toward her face, making Lin Muyu’s entire body tremble involuntarily, her body becoming somewhat stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were children behind her, she couldn’t retreat, much less run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold, sharp fingernails traced across Lin Muyu’s face, completely removing the disguise from her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my, what a great beauty, perfect for being a cultivation cauldron~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s bright red tongue licked her lips, her eyes full of desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cultivation cauldron… you’re a demonic cultivator from the Hehuan Sect!” Lin Muyu felt her heart grow cold under that stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Su Wanqing’s charming gaze when she drew near, this woman’s eyes were filled with pure desire, as if she wanted to devour her entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, a trace of surprise flashed through the woman’s dark eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You actually know about the Hehuan Sect, but little sister~ our Hehuan Sect is a righteous orthodox sect~ we’re not demonic cultivators~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s smile didn’t fade, her tone drawn out, as if she already considered Lin Muyu to be in her grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like hell I’d believe you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu grumbled internally. In the novel group friends’ setting, the Hehuan Sect was indeed a righteous orthodox sect that studied dual cultivation methods in ancient times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But somehow someone discovered the absorption method, which was much faster than the original cultivation methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this method could only benefit one party, unlike dual cultivation methods where both could benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to take this shortcut, more and more Hehuan Sect disciples focused on practicing absorption methods, seeking quick success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how many people would willingly be the one being absorbed from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So some extreme Hehuan Sect disciples began kidnapping ordinary people, and even cultivators weren’t spared, to supply their cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the number of such people gradually increased, the Hehuan Sect’s behavior became more and more like a thoroughly evil sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, 1,000 years ago, the Hehuan Sect was completely classified as a demonic sect by the righteous path, and Hehuan Sect disciples were also regarded as demonic cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that Hehuan Sect disciples refused to admit they were demonic cultivators, though their behavior was already close to that of demonic cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these shameless people still called themselves both righteous and evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we’re both women…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little sister, have you ever heard of the yin-absorbing yin-supplementing method?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman wasn’t in a hurry to act, instead explaining with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She loved most to see the extremely fearful expressions of her prey when they fell into despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so exciting~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu’s pupils contracted sharply. As someone who loved reading Hehuan Sect plotlines, she naturally knew about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yin-Absorbing Yin-Supplementing faction was the newest faction developed by the Hehuan Sect. Everyone in this faction was female, and they loved most to absorb from beautiful women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And back then, the original in the novel was thrown to this very faction…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she still not escape her fate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of despair flashed through Lin Muyu’s eyes as she collapsed powerlessly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman immediately smiled so widely she couldn’t close her mouth, she loved seeing her prey with this kind of expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wasn’t enough yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, Peach Fairy, am not an unreasonable person. Little sister, how about we make a deal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of deal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could she, an ordinary person, possibly trade with a cultivator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she still held onto a thread of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if? What if because she looked ordinary she’d let her go… but that was just self-deception…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Lin Muyu resented her beauty, it would actually be the key to extinguishing her last glimmer of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peach Fairy pulled out a rope from somewhere and threw it to Lin Muyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Obediently tie yourself up and come with me, and I’ll spare the children behind you~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of suspicion flashed through Lin Muyu’s eyes. Could the words of a demonic cultivator really be trusted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to look at those tender faces filled with fear, Lin Muyu pressed her lips together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had no other choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If sacrificing herself could save these children… this deal was quite profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu didn’t consider herself a great person, but at this moment, she wanted to be a hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t believe her, Teacher Lin, don’t do this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one saying this was Aunt Zhang’s child who had just come back to call her. At this moment, besides fear, there was also concern in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peach Fairy glared fiercely at that child, a small snake coiling around her hand, the threat obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I agree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Lin Muyu tremblingly used the rope to slowly bind her own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to save this group of simple children, she wanted to save her students!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was the best option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m tied up, now quickly release them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu glared hatefully at the woman and shouted at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peach Fairy was very satisfied with that kind of look, the corners of her mouth curving into an evil smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little sister is so obedient~ But can the words of a demonic cultivator really be trusted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peach Fairy opened her palm, and a small snake with sharp fangs emerged from her palm, flying straight toward the children behind Lin Muyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Please, I beg you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu roared, her eyes bloodshot, tears continuously streaming from her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only watch helplessly as that small snake flew straight through the children, stringing them together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It hurts… ahhhhh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered, tender cries of despair echoed in the room, lingering for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why, why do this… didn’t you promise…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little sister, the weak have no right to speak~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This emotion of despair mixed with fear is so delicious~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peach Fairy looked completely blissful, not caring at all about Lin Muyu’s murderous expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaahhh, how can I… explain this to their parents… you beast! Ahhhhhhh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears kept flowing from her eyes. She hated so much, she wasn’t strong enough, couldn’t protect the people she wanted to protect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to explain to their parents because…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peach Fairy’s face was full of madness, the feeling of doing evil making her ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their parents already went down to reunite with them, hahaha~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu’s mind went completely blank. The intense emotions triggered her self-protection mechanism, and she stared ahead with vacant eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why… would this happen…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How she hoped that white figure could be here at this moment…\u003C\u002Fp>",1358,"2026-06-06T16:56:29.155Z",1,"novelbin.me","a6898eb06590eed2c712f7f321f32565742051756aae18c2cbcc86a658b23628","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-6","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-4",149,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--cover.jpg"]
