Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Yino brought a step stool, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently lifted busty woman's white, soft foot.

Merging his fingers in front of his chest, he first dabbed them in the prepared ointment and then infused them with his energy to refine it instantly.

Finally, Yino slowly spread the essence on his fingertips over the sole of her foot.

His fingers glided lightly, drawing a complex and intricate blood lotus on the tender flesh of her foot-

"!!!"

In truth, ever since Yino was reborn, he hadn't given up on studying certain

dark arts

from his previous life's game.

Yuyan had become his daily, free experimental subject.

Of course, Yino wouldn't actually try to corrupt her with any dark, demonic markings; the original game didn't even have an affection system, let alone anything suggestive. He didn't have the skills or the guts to try anything like that on his senior sister, the famous Sword Immortal.

The techniques he tried on Yuyan were all meant for positive effects.

Like the blood lotus he drew on the sole of her foot.

It might look a bit off, but technically, it served as a small regulator.

He had tried something similar on Jinyue before, but back then, his skills and cultivation were lacking, so he only managed to draw a single petal.

Now, Yino could draw an entire blood lotus.

Using this blood lotus as a regulator, he could help Yuyan manage her body's meridians and blood, but since today's lotus was on her foot, it mainly helped relieve fatigue in her legs.

The blood lotus didn't have to be on the foot; it could be anywhere on the body.

Yino chose the sole because:

The nerves there are sensitive and dense, but cultivators rarely focus on toughening their feet, making it easier to infiltrate with a curse mark.

Compared to other sensitive areas, feet are easier to touch while massaging.

No one pays much attention to the bottom of their feet, so it's less likely to be discovered unless Yuyan decided to spend half the day studying her own feet.

However, the regulator was just the basic use of the blood lotus.

If advanced, Yino could also draw one on his palm to establish a connection between him and Yuyan through the two blood lotuses. This connection could allow for shared spiritual energy.

If Yuyan needed energy, Yino could share his through the blood lotus.

Theoretically, if he needed energy, he could also draw some from Yuyan's foot, but he didn't dare to.

Still, he secretly experimented with transferring his own spiritual energy to Yuyan during the massage. Sometimes, while she was distracted by the medicine, he would send some spiritual energy and sword intent into her body.

Sure enough, that night Yuyan felt a tingling sensation in her feet. The next day, she noticed her steps were lighter and praised Yino's massage for being really effective.

The effect was similar to what he had seen with Jinyue, and after Yino's optimizations, the blood lotus no longer made the recipient's feet overly sensitive or hard to walk on. At least, Yuyan hadn't shown any signs of this.

With this in mind, Yino grew bolder in his massage.

"Emm~

♡...!"

As the nerves in her foot grew more sensitive, she let out an involuntary moan.

But perhaps due to embarrassment, she kept her voice low, not wanting Yino to hear, so she just continued to lie on the bed, stifling her breathing.

Since Yuyan didn't speak up, Yino assumed she could handle it and kept nurturing the small blood lotus on her sole with spiritual energy.

All along, his touch was gentle. However, the more tenderly he massaged, the more it seemed to stimulate Yuyan, causing her to tense her foot arch, her long, straight legs trembling slightly beneath her skirt.

Though Yino couldn't see Yuyan's expression, judging from Jinyue's experience, he guessed she was blushing, barely able to suppress her moans.

But as before, since Yuyan didn't speak, Yino pretended not to hear.

This didn't mean he had no sense of boundaries.

Unlike with Jinyue, his aim now wasn't to tease Yuyan but to explore the blood lotus's potential further.

So, his massage techniques varied from gentle to stimulating.

He kept her right on the edge of eruption, but just when Yuyan couldn't help but let out a sweet moan, the sensation on her foot would suddenly slow down. And just when she thought she could catch her breath, Yino would target the sensitive pressure points on her sole again...

After several rounds, Yuyan was almost entirely face down on the bed, her face buried in the pillow, unable to control the soft moans escaping her lips. But saying she was panting, her voice was still quiet; she could have endured it if she wanted to.

However, if she could endure it, she saw no reason to interrupt Yino, as it would be embarrassing. So, she really just gritted her teeth and endured the entire time.

The result was that the massage session lasted longer than Yuyan expected.

She could handle it once, maybe for a while.

But what about the second time, the third, the fourth...?

By the end, Yuyan was suppressing her gasps so much that she was drenched in sweat, breathing heavily, and almost entirely exhausted.

"Senior Sister... Senior Sister?"

Seeing Yuyan was on the brink of collapse, Yino didn't dare continue. After all, there was a limit to what a person could endure. Even if he just lightly touched the sole of her foot now, it might be the straw that broke the camel's back, causing Yuyan to cry out.

If she did erupt, it would make things awkward, and Yuyan might never let him touch her again.

So, Yino withdrew the spiritual energy from his fingertips. With one hand, he carefully held her foot, and with the other, he gently smoothed over the area where the glowing blood lotus had been.

As the mark of the lotus faded, his experiment for the night ended.

But the moment his fingers left her sole, her delicate feet reflexively straightened suddenly

"Sen— Mmm!"

Yino was about to say something when her toes suddenly stuffed his mouth.

But soon, the jade foot seemed to realize the dampness, recoiling like a startled bird. At the same time, Yuyan sat up.
