Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 409 - 5: Completely Outclassing Chen Lingyun

Chapter 409: Chapter 5: Completely Outclassing Chen Lingyun

“The captain always seems suspicious of the dice,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile. “How about you throw them this time?”

Yan Yu took them without a change in expression and casually threw a one.

So there’s nothing wrong with the dice? The trick must be in the deck… No, Lin Ning was the one who shuffled earlier. Damn, you even anticipated that I would suspect this, which is why you purposely let Lin Ning shuffle, right?

“This time I choose Dare,” Chen Lingyun continued smiling, “Please, Captain, shuffle the cards for me.”

Yan Yu picked up the deck for Dare, shuffled it unhappily, feeling like the magician on stage who says, “Shuffle these for me, I definitely haven’t tampered with them.”

I’d stand on my head and eat mustard if you hadn’t tampered with them!

...

“Done,” he said as he slowly spread the deck, then suddenly suggested, “How about Zhao picks one for you?”

Maybe there’s invisible ink on the cards, and she’s wearing glasses that can see through it… Better scan with Divine Sense first.

“That works,” Chen Lingyun was still smiling, seemingly unconcerned about Yan Yu scanning her with Divine Sense.

No colored contacts indeed…

“Alright!” Zhao Yuanzhen rolled up her sleeves, “I’ll pick a tough one!”

She carefully selected a card and played it crisply.

[Choose a player present, and kiss them.]

Everyone stared at the card in shock, until they heard Su Yunjin say:

“There’s no restriction on where to kiss, so the back of the hand should count, right?”

“No, I want a kiss on the cheek,” Chen Lingyun said mischievously, holding her lips, in a sugary sweet tone.

The girls were all shocked! So, she’s making her move on the captain now?

Zhao Yuanzhen’s reaction was a beat too slow, first with a laugh as if she was ready to enjoy the show, then suddenly, whether she figured something out or Xie Ruoxi covertly tipped her off, her expression drastically changed to a menacing “lay a hand on me and you’re dead.”

Chen Lingyun was slightly at a loss for words due to the Enchantress’s fierceness, knowing that she indeed might make a move.

She intentionally said with a laugh:

“I don’t want to switch places, how about choosing someone nearby instead?”

Her nearby choices were only Yan Yu and Su Yunjin… Zhao Yuanzhen immediately glared, looking ready to devour someone.

Su Yunjin, however, just sighed. Sure enough, Chen Lingyun’s gaze hovered over Yan Yu’s face for a while before she suddenly turned and grabbed Su Yunjin’s arm, planting a kiss on her cheek.

Lin Ning and Xie Ruoxi visibly relaxed, while Zhao Yuanzhen snorted and turned her head away.

She knows her place, and I’ll spare this wretch’s life!

Yan Yu noticed Su Yunjin’s face seemed a bit red, and he mentally lamented the deadly charm of this troublesome woman, absolutely lethal to both men and women.

If she were only a bit nicer, she’d be unbeatable.

“I’ll throw the dice this time,” Xie Ruoxi volunteered eagerly.

“That’s fine,” Chen Lingyun nodded.

Yan Yu scanned the dice again, seeing Xie Ruoxi let go, the dice spun on the table for a while and finally landed on six.

Why is it always me! She must have cheated, but where did she tamper?

“Which person does the captain wish to shuffle and draw cards this time?” Chen Lingyun asked with a smile.

“Let Ruoxi handle it all,” Yan Yu gave Xie Ruoxi a death glare mixed with a friendly smile, as if to say “You know what to do.”

Xie Ruoxi immediately turned into a trembling bunny, shut her eyes tightly, shuffled the cards wildly, then drew a card, slapped it on the table, and looked at Yan Yu, not daring to communicate any other way, only signaling with her eyes:

I definitely didn’t tamper with them!

“Wait, shouldn’t we choose between Truth and Dare first?” Lin Ning suddenly realized something was off.

“Never mind, I’ll check.” Yan Yu flipped the card over, and upon a closer look, it was indeed a Dare card, which read:

[Hold the player second to your left until the next round ends.]

Yan Yu: ………

This card is way too outrageous! It would be okay if it were two girls, but a guy and a girl? Isn’t that just forcing a romantic moment? And what if both players are guys, wouldn’t hugging mean… uh, back-patting might still be okay, though.

Su Yunjin also turned pale; she had never had even slightly intimate contact with any male her entire life, and she reflexively declined:

“How about we forget it? Didn’t the captain initially not choose truth or dare? It would make sense to draw again.”

“Let’s draw once more then,” Yan Yu was about to sneak by, when suddenly Chen Lingyun laughed:

“Is the captain worried about hugging a girl, or just specifically about hugging Yun Jin?”

There it goes! The bitchy act of fanning the flames!

Although her intention to incite was more than obvious, Su Yunjin still flinched, showing a deeply sad expression after.

“It’s not that I have anything against Yun Jin,” Yan Yu hastily defended, “but it’s not just a hug. It’s about maintaining the hug for the entire duration of the game. That would be overly intimate, wouldn’t it? I don’t think Yun Jin would be comfortable with it…”

“Actually, it’s fine,” Su Yunjin suddenly whispered.

Lin Ning immediately showed a shocked and frightened expression. Zhao Yuanzhen was also slightly stunned and were about to flip the table in anger when he suddenly turned his head towards Chen Lingyun, apparently listening to her telepathic message.

“I mean, isn’t physical touch between teammates normal?!” Su Yunjin noticed the change in their expressions and hurriedly explained, “If it’s on the battlefield, like being incapacitated, letting the captain carry you is quite reasonable, right? In the Departure Palace Guard Battle, when Ruoxi was just transported in, didn’t she let the captain carry her? Surely you can’t say there was too much intimacy between Ruoxi and the captain, right?”

“Ahahaha, this…” Xie Ruoxi turned her head uncomfortably, thinking how she indeed was entirely engulfed in ambiguous and naïve feelings when the captain was carrying me haha, and of course, I would never admit to this.

“Or is that?” Su Yunjin cocked her head towards Yan Yu, showing a gentle smile, “The captain is okay with carrying Ruoxi but not me?”

Yan Yu: ………

Cornered!

If I explicitly refuse, it might deeply hurt Secretary Su, but allowing everyone to think I’m favoring Ruoxi over others, would I, as the captain, lose face? How would I even talk, or lead the team in the future?

“That’s not the case.” He also wore the same gentle smile, replying, “If Yun Jin doesn’t mind, of course, I have no problem.”

Yun Jin, you brought this up; don’t end up too shy to handle it later.

Su Yunjin stood up, plucking up courage to walk towards Yan Yu.

Her heart was somewhat bashful, but… as Ling Yun whispered to me just now, if the captain was going to hold someone else, and she agreed to it, I would just have to silently suffer and withdraw.

Better to have the captain hold me than that… Modesty and shyness aren’t insurmountable mental blocks after all!

Yan Yu shifted to make space, preparing his left arm to wrap around her as Su Yunjin took a seat beside him.

But Su Yunjin, whose mind was fixated on “overcoming barriers, defeating oneself,” didn’t notice Yan Yu’s slight movement and mustered up the courage to sit directly on his lap.

Well, the captain’s thighs are quite sturdy, but isn’t this uncomfortable for him? I think I’m not too heavy…

As Su Yunjin was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly got hugged by Yan Yu from behind, barely holding back a yelp, her mind cleared of its random thoughts, leaving only inexplicable shyness and joy.

Oh! The captain… the captain is holding me!

This means he’s not opposed to intimate contact with me, right!

He must also have a strong, distinct fondness for me!

Can I declare my love immediately after the game, and isn’t it bound to be successful?

Lin Ning was staring at her, his facial muscles tense as if he had bitten into an extremely sour lemon.

Chen Lingyun’s eyes were curved in a smile, Xie Ruoxi turned her head away, and Zhao Yuanzhen’s face was dark, his eyes slightly narrowed, evidently pondering something.

Since Su Yunjin in his arms blocked his view, Yan Yu did not notice the expression on Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen’s faces, but he was thinking to himself:

“She’s definitely larger than Chen Lingyun, one meter sixty really doesn’t feel the same as one meter fifty, the latter always feels like holding a child. The scent of shampoo feels familiar, probably the same brand she uses, her waist seems a bit more plump and soft, but not to the extent of appearing fat, overall tactile impression is a total win over Chen Lingyun…”

“Captain,” Su Yunjin suddenly communicated telepathically.

“What’s up?” Yan Yu chuckled, “Are you getting shy? If you’re shy, get up from my lap quick.”

“Don’t touch recklessly!” Su Yunjin reproached with embarrassment, “Keep your hands properly on my legs!”
