I became the male protagonist's cannon fodder wife, I rebelled

"Did you feel anything just now?"

It was still that rough, masculine voice, but something seemed off.

Cha Yiyi turned around stiffly, only to realize that the man who was speaking was not looking at her, but was looking at the "colleague" next to him.

The man being asked shook his head slightly and said one word concisely.

"No."

The man who asked the question raised his hand and touched the back of his head, muttering to himself, "Could it be that I am too sensitive and my feeling is wrong?"

Fortunately, this little episode did not attract the attention of other cultivators, and Cha Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief as if she had survived a disaster.

She didn't dare to delay or stay any longer, and quickly and quietly moved towards the Golden House.

Thanks to the Piaomiao Pearl, Cha Yiyi and Xiao Mi successfully passed through the golden barrier and entered the golden house. Since the golden house was completely enclosed and had no gaps, they no longer had to worry about their voices being heard by the cultivators outside.

"Xiao Mi, that was a close call. I almost had a heart attack just now."

Cha Yiyi patted her chest and said with lingering fear.

"Me too. Fortunately, you are an ordinary person who cannot absorb spiritual energy. Otherwise, even if you were invisible, with the sharp perception of a cultivator, you would definitely be able to detect your presence."

"So I should be glad that I'm an ordinary person."

Xiao Mi glanced at the girl's silly face, and a moment of silence flashed across her amber cat eyes. Then she walked towards the direction of the Netherworld Fairy Crystal with the extremely elegant steps unique to cats, leaving behind a meaningful remark.

"Nothing is absolute, there are always pros and cons."

Cha Yiyi didn't take Xiao Mi's words to heart, and followed behind heartlessly, looking at the surrounding environment.

To be honest, the feeling of being enveloped in golden light is very good. It deserves to be called the Golden House. It is made of pure gold inside and out, without any other decorations.

There is only a small altar placed in the center, which is also made of pure gold. On the altar is a crystal clear crystal, shaped like a red spider lily. Countless tiny lights are flashing in the crystal, which is magnificent.

"So this is what the Netherworld Immortal Crystal looks like. It's just as gorgeous and beautiful as I imagined."

A faint smile appeared on Cha Yiyi's pretty face, and her amber eyes were illuminated by the light of gold and crystal, making them as dazzling and charming as a sea of ​​stars.

She stretched out her green fingers to touch the Netherworld Fairy Crystal, but was stopped by Xiao Mi.

"Don't touch it!"

Cha Yiyi's fingers stopped in the air and didn't move.

She forgot that once the Nether Crystal was touched by external objects, the infinite spiritual power contained in it would fluctuate. Although these fluctuations would not cause harm to people, they would make the cultivators guarding outside the Golden House notice something unusual.

"I'm sorry, I almost ruined it."

Cha Yiyi spoke a little embarrassedly, with a hint of apology in her tone.

"That's all right, host. Now, let's start injecting demonic energy into the Nether Crystal."

The little cat stood up straight, stretched its two cute front paws into its soft white belly, scratching left and right, as if looking for something.

Only then did Cha Yiyi discover that there was a very inconspicuous pocket on its belly, and her tone was very excited.

"Holy crap! Are you Doraemon? I love Doraemon so much!"

Xiao Mi sneered with extreme disdain, and her words sounded a bit angry.

"You should call me Wanbao Mi!"

Cha Yiyi didn't mind Xiao Mi's attitude at all. After all, no one wants to be a substitute or a stand-in. It's no wonder that Xiao Mi would lose her temper.

"Okay, okay, Wanbao Mimi is indeed more majestic and domineering than Doraemon. I will call you that from now on."

An unidentified object floated in front of Cha Yiyi. She took a closer look and found that it was a cherry-sized, teardrop-shaped purple-black crystal.

Strictly speaking, it is a transparent crystal wrapped in a ball of purple-black gas. The purple-black gas is extremely restless and rushes around in the crystal, as if to break through this layer of restraint.

"This is demonic energy."

Xiao Mi's words rang in her ears, and Cha Yiyi nodded in understanding.

"Host, please extend your index finger."

Cha Yiyi did as she was told, and then she saw Xiao Mi holding something that looked like a seal and gently touching her index finger.

"What is this doing?"

"It's just one part of the mission, host. Now please use your index finger to touch the water drop magic crystal in front of you."

Although she didn't understand why, Cha Yiyi still obeyed.

After the water drop magic crystal touched her index finger, it immediately floated towards the direction of the Netherworld Fairy Crystal. Just when Cha Yiyi thought that the magic crystal was about to merge with the fairy crystal, she found that the magic crystal was suspended one centimeter above the fairy crystal and no longer moved.

"Wanbao Mi, is there something wrong? Why isn't it moving?"

Xiao Mi was calm and composed, "This is normal, let's go."

Just...leave now?

Cha Yiyi's mind was full of questions, but when she thought of the dozens of cultivators who were defending outside the Golden House, her fear finally overcame her curiosity.

It’s not too late to leave this dangerous place first and ask clearly later. Anyway, the system says it’s normal, so there will definitely be no mistakes.

So, the man and the cat returned along the same route. With the experience they had on the way here, the return journey was particularly easy and comfortable.

All the lights in the houses were out, leaving only the lanterns under the eaves emitting silent light.

Cha Yiyi was lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, her face full of excitement and no sign of sleepiness at all, while Xiao Mi was napping on her waist, looking very sleepy.

"Wan Bao Mi, are you so confident that the demonic energy can successfully invade the Netherworld Immortal Crystal?"

"Of course, just wait and see if you don't believe me."

"No, tell me now, what's going on?"

Cha Yiyi grabbed Xiao Mi beside her and shook it awake inhumanely.

Xiao Mi was so angry that he opened his mouth and bit Cha Yiyi as if to vent his anger, but he was very sensible and did not bite the other.

"The crystal wrapped in the demonic energy will slowly corrode upon encountering oxygen. Once the crystal is completely consumed by oxygen, the demonic energy will naturally fall into the Netherworld Immortal Crystal. The spiritual energy within the Netherworld Immortal Crystal will then be destroyed and tainted, rendering it incapable of benefiting cultivators."

It turned out to be the case.

Xiao Mi was forcibly woken by Cha Yiyi. He was already feeling pent up. He narrowed his round amber eyes and deliberately seduced, "Do you know why I changed my mind at the last minute and didn't ask you to directly inject demonic energy into the Netherworld Immortal Crystal?"

Although Cha Yiyi is an ordinary person without magical powers, this does not prevent her from sensing malicious intent.

She knew that what Xiao Mi would say next would be "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth", so she wisely chose to close her eyes and go to sleep.

Seeing that she finally stopped making a fuss, Xiao Mi let go of all her strength, rolled over like a puddle of mud to the side of the bed against the wall and fell asleep peacefully, no longer having to worry about being disturbed by anyone.

In the darkness, Cha Yiyi's eyes quietly opened. After a moment's recollection, she could understand the reasons behind some things, such as the conversation she had just ended by pretending to be asleep...
