She’s a weapon spirit, meaning she needs to recognize you as master to have the strength to get out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this explanation, Lin Muyu belatedly realized that she had been thinking in the wrong direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She awkwardly scratched her head and laughed dryly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahaha, so that’s what it means. But why do you have to recognize a master to get out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My main body was stolen by bad people…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaotao pouted, her eyes instantly reddening, and tears seemed about to roll down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu was quick to react, hurriedly reaching out to rub the top of her head comfortingly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’ll help you get it back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought to herself that she had initially estimated this child to be a middle schooler, but now it seemed she had overestimated, this was clearly just a little kid who loved to cry golden beans!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chenxi and Xiao Bai tacitly stepped back two steps upon seeing this, keeping half an arm’s distance, afraid of being pestered by this crybaby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them had any experience coaxing children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Lin Muyu was very patient, gently coaxing her with soft words for a while until Xiaotao’s sobbing gradually stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That bad person used my main body to create this illusion and threw me in here wanting to refine me. Without my main body, I have no source of spiritual energy, and naturally can’t get out without spiritual energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaotao sniffled and explained in a soft voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard that spirit weapons can borrow their master’s spiritual energy, so I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu nodded, finally understanding what Xiaotao meant, but she still said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see, but you don’t have to specifically choose me as your master. Look at Luo Chenxi and Xiao Bai, they’re both very capable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she also hoped to have a spirit weapon, as cannon fodder, she still had this much self-awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of heaven-sent opportunity should clearly be the female lead Luo Chenxi’s chance, or possibly the very strong Xiao Bai’s opportunity, in any case, it wasn’t her turn yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she raised her hand pointing toward Luo Chenxi’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Luo Chenxi and Xiao Bai had already tacitly retreated to the side, their faces written with disdain for the crybaby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu was completely bewildered. Wasn’t it said that spirit weapons were worth a thousand gold pieces? How come everyone was avoiding them like the plague?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want this crybaby as my spirit weapon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chenxi turned her face away, her tone full of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xiao Bai didn’t speak, she placed her fluffy fox tail horizontally in front of her body, her rejection couldn’t be more obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu watched in stunned amazement, just because of this reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do… do you also find me annoying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaotao’s tears began swirling in her eyes again, her voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu helplessly held her forehead and softened her voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, how could I find you annoying? I’d be too happy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just wandering around casually and picking up a spirit weapon, this luck was unmatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it wasn’t exactly casual wandering, considering she almost drowned here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just… this spirit weapon seemed a bit too weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? Then let’s sign a contract!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xiaotao immediately wiped her tears, a trace of joy blooming on her delicately carved face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a socially anxious spirit weapon, she had long hoped to find a gentle master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was too timid, always hiding in corners watching her companions get chosen by cultivators and shine brilliantly in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t dare actively approach anyone, afraid of being disliked for being too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was just a useless bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the warmth from Lin Muyu made her feel comfortable, as if she naturally belonged to this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, this person didn’t find her annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really, let’s sign!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that neither the person nor the fox objected, Lin Muyu felt at ease agreeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t come here looking for spirit weapons anyway, so this was an unexpected joy, who cared if it was strong or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting a positive response, Xiaotao happily cupped Lin Muyu’s hand and gently lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu curiously stared at her, wanting to see how the contract was signed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw Xiaotao slowly part her peach-colored lips and gently bit down on her scallion-like index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but was held firmly by Xiaotao, and her fingertip still felt a slight pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First she felt a warm, moist sensation, then fine pain spread from her fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but let out a soft hum, her ears quietly climbing with crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way of signing a contract seemed a bit strange?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chenxi on the side watched with furrowed brows, inexplicably feeling irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Signing a contract just requires some blood, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did it need to be so… ambiguous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the pain faded, a wonderful sense of spiritual connection suddenly surged forth, as if an invisible thread tightly connected her with the pink-haired girl before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft, sweet voice suddenly rang in her mind, startling Lin Muyu into blinking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Xiaotao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice in her mind carried laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu looked at Xiaotao in front of her, who clearly hadn’t spoken but was blinking her bright eyes at her, and suddenly understood:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After signing the contract, we can chat in our minds?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you two standing there dazing for? Did it work or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two staring at each other without speaking, Luo Chenxi couldn’t help but urge them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s done, it’s done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu withdrew her hand and looked down at her fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had clearly been bitten through just now, but now only a shallow tooth mark remained, not even a drop of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaotao, can we get out now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Xiaotao with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiaotao frowned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, why do you have so little spiritual energy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu was stunned by the question. Looking at Xiaotao’s innocent eyes, she could only honestly explain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually… I’m only at the middle stage of Qi Refining, but I’ll work hard to cultivate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Middle stage of Qi Refining?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaotao tilted her head and muttered. She remembered that not long ago, even the little white rabbit she had raised had reached the late stage of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a little bird about her size that was already close to Spirit Transformation stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it had been a thousand years since she’d seen them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t dwell on it much, waving her small hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she took Lin Muyu’s hand and began channeling spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu immediately felt the spiritual energy in her body flowing out like a stream, entering Xiaotao’s body through her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaotao closed her eyes and softly chanted an incantation: “Break.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her words fell, countless dream bubbles floating in the sky suddenly shattered, crystalline points of light falling like meteors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion beneath their feet began shaking violently, the ground visibly collapsing, revealing gray, misty void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the seductive woman glanced back at the figure persistently chasing behind her and laughed loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old man, stop following us, or I can’t guarantee the safety of these little dolls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan beside her hurriedly advised:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Zangjian, for the greater good, please go back first. I’ll rescue the junior brothers and sisters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He secretly calculated in his heart, he couldn’t let this old man ruin things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the demonic clan’s words couldn’t be trusted, he had his own ways to get the bead from this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Elder Zangjian impulsively struck her down, not only would the spirit weapon be lost, but his own plans would be completely ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zangjian gripped his life-bound divine sword tightly, his knuckles white from exertion, fury almost shooting from his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He not only wanted to strike down this demoness who had abducted disciples, but even more wanted to strike down Ye Fan beside him who was dealing with the demoness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This boy spoke of thinking for his fellow disciples, but the greed in his eyes couldn’t be hidden, he was clearly only coveting that spirit weapon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was caught in a dilemma. This demoness held the disciples’ lives in her hands, so he didn’t dare act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just watching them leave like this, he really couldn’t swallow this anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Elder Zangjian was in a difficult position, the seductive woman’s face suddenly changed drastically, as if sensing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly took out the bead from her bosom, only to see that the originally warm, round pearl was now glowing with an eerie pink light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface was so hot it was almost impossible to hold, and it was trembling slightly, as if something was about to break out of the bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman gritted her teeth and growled, panic flashing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn bitch! I should have killed you directly back then. Now you dare to ruin my plans!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1599,"2026-06-06T16:56:29.434Z",1,"novelbin.me","304814fb6f39aaf42d94de9112284734e361901b67df9dc3bb27bf5c9bf2dfa9","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-56","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-54",149,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--cover.jpg"]
