Her petite and lovely figure combined with that stunning face was very eye-catching, with a cute and beautiful aura radiating everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a plump orange, with an orange fragrance that seemed very enticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu calmly pulled out a talisman, this was something Su Wanqing had given her for protection before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it wasn’t a precious talisman, it wasn’t something ordinary people could possess either, and its power couldn’t be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of ordinary people, only cultivators had talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, seeing this cinnabar-inscribed talisman, the lead man immediately became respectful, his eyes instantly clearing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, did you happen to see a short person wearing a black robe? This little thief was so audacious as to steal my young master’s money. We need to capture her to answer to our master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu had been gripping the talisman tightly, ready to activate it the moment the men in front of her made any suspicious moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing the man become respectful for some unknown reason, Lin Muyu also relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, she seemed to agree with the man’s explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw her go that way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu pointed toward the nearby dark alley without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to a stranger, her own safety was more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chase!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting their directions, the men didn’t doubt her and rushed straight toward the dark alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s over…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark alley, the black-robed loli looked at the dead end in front of her and closed her eyes in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the sound of footsteps came from the alley entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slumped powerlessly to the ground, her eyes filled with despair, her body trembling involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, there’s no escape…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, these footsteps are light, not like pursuers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed loli realized something and slowly opened her eyes. What came into view was a face with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young girl stood gracefully before her, looking at her with tenderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re safe now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smiling girl gently extended her hand toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at all this and, as if possessed, took that soft hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu pulled the black-robed loli up, feeling the small and delicate hand in hers, understanding in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, it was a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Lin Muyu’s hands were already considered small among girls, but this black-robed loli’s hands were even smaller than hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her height was nearly half a head shorter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She barely reached Lin Muyu’s chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu had a natural fondness for children, because in her previous life as a teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of her time was spent with children, and she had a protective instinct especially toward little girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed loli lowered her head and expressed her gratitude in a soft voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to thank me, little friend~ But why were they chasing you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu gently stroked the black-robed loli’s head and asked with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although those men said she had stolen money, she didn’t quite believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a little girl possibly steal their master’s money under the protection of four burly men?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed impossible no matter how you thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment of silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed loli lowered her head, hiding her face in the darkness, neither wanting to answer nor show her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing this heavy atmosphere, Lin Muyu didn’t force it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said gently: “It’s okay if you don’t want to say. Next time, make sure to protect yourself properly and don’t let bad people catch up~ Big sister is leaving now~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lin Muyu withdrew her hand and turned to leave the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having rescued the person, there was no need for her to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a pair of small hands hugged Lin Muyu’s slender arm, trembling as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I trust you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu immediately understood. Looking at this behavior, this child must lack a sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu had encountered many students who lacked security before. Essentially, it was because adults hadn’t given them enough love and companionship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the child in front of her was probably being chased by bad people, which was why she lacked security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When facing children who lacked security, in her previous life he would choose patient guidance, using words and companionship to give children a sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being female in this life made it much simpler, what could give a child more security than a hug?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She directly crouched down and embraced the black-robed loli in her arms, saying gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, you can trust big sister~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed loli who was pulled into the embrace was startled at first, but feeling the warmth, she couldn’t help but soften.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Lin Muyu felt a warm wetness on her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must have been hard, dear~ If you want to cry, just let it out…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart also felt uncomfortable. The little loli in front of her must have suffered a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, she wouldn’t cry just from feeling a bit of warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed loli’s voice was somewhat choked, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu just quietly stroked her head, couldn’t help but remember that in that small village, there was also a little girl who liked to hide in her arms and cry when she was wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart felt sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the black-robed loli adjusted her emotions and slowly pushed away from Lin Muyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if having made up her mind, she gently removed her black robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of fluffy white cat ears trembling leaped into Lin Muyu’s vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver-white hair tips gently fell, adorning a pair of crimson pupils. On her porcelain-white jade-smooth face, there were still a few tear tracks sliding down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a white-haired, red-eyed cat girl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little cat girl timidly met Lin Muyu’s excited eyes and said tremblingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry for being so ugly…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their beastkin community, mixed colors were considered beautiful, while pure white fur like hers was considered the ugliest among beastkin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not ugly at all! You’re so cute!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu’s eyes gleamed with excitement. In her previous life, she really liked the white hair and red eyes attribute, not to mention it was also a cute loli cat girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was still puzzled about why a cat girl would appear in human territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although nothing would be strange in the trashy novels written by her group friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it was a cat girl… could it be setting up for that kind of plot?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu looked at the cat girl with some pity. Perhaps their fates were very similar~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she would take her along to change their destiny!\u003C\u002Fp>",1295,"2026-06-06T16:56:29.155Z",1,"novelbin.me","6ca079bef0cb6508b9521ff3a408448d9f46240bacd7604c8559c4e4ba64278c","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-10","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-8",149,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--cover.jpg"]
