Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 411 - 7: Confronted by Ningning

Chapter 411: Chapter 7: Confronted by Ningning

Despite repeatedly convincing herself “It’s just a game,” Su Yunjin, to prevent a heart attack, still chose to take a temporary leave to the bathroom—it was better not to watch.

The rest of the group came to the colorful mat of Twister, forming a circle around it.

At this time, Lin Ning was still immersed in the thought “I must win this game,” moving her hands and feet to limber up, while carefully eyeing the four-colored mat.

This game was less about strategizing which square to choose and more about testing one’s eyesight and reaction speed, as the squares were quite small. If one person covered a square with their hand, there wasn’t much space left for another person—unless they propped themselves up with a karate chop or even just a few fingers, as if doing gymnastics on a tightrope.

But when it came to eyesight and reaction speed… hmph, even if the captain were here, I wouldn’t be afraid!

Zhao Yuanzhen watched for a moment, then asked Xie Ruoxi:

...

“If I have my eye on a red square, but it’s pressed by the opponent first, can I push their hand away and press it myself?”

“Of course, you can’t do that,” Xie Ruoxi felt like sweating a little. Sister Zhao’s aggressiveness seemed a bit strong, it’s just a game, isn’t it?

“Are you all ready?” Chen Lingyun placed two spinners on the table and asked with a smile.

“Yun Jin is still in the bathroom,” Lin Ning asked casually, “Should we wait for her?”

“No need, she also said not to wait for her, right?” Chen Lingyun’s smile was beaming. “By the time this round is over, she’ll probably be back.”

Maybe Yun Jin has a stomachache, everyone is waiting for her here, and indeed, that would put pressure on her… Lin Ning twisted her shoulders and neck, and turned to ask Yan Yu:

“Is the captain ready?”

“Hmm,” Yan Yu was noncommittal.

He was considering whether to win or not.

Firstly, if he pretended to make a mistake and fall to concede, Lin Ning would most likely see through it—Ningning, the Sword Immortal, was my personally trained female disciple, with very strong eyesight.

Given Lin Ning’s serious nature, she definitely wouldn’t be happy because I let her win; on the contrary, she would become annoyed, feeling that I was looking down on her, and then my good intentions would go unappreciated.

But if I play seriously with her, and there ends up being a lot of physical contact, she’ll surely come to realize it. The lighter outcome would be her blushing and feeling shy; the more severe one would be her acting haughty and getting upset. Then, what would I do?

He couldn’t help but cast a harshly reproachful look at Chen Lingyun: Look at the trouble you’ve stirred up for me!

Chen Lingyun’s expression became even more joyful as she said with a laugh:

“Since everyone is ready, let’s start. Please stand on the mat.”

Yan Yu and Lin Ning then took off their shoes and stood on the mat.

In order not to hinder movement and to be able to compete for spots flexibly, Lin Ning even took off her jacket, leaving only a sports vest, her face showing a determined expression of “I will go all out to win.”

Yan Yu silently sized her up. It had to be said that Lin Ning’s figure was indeed much better than Su Yunjin’s, and while he could remain unmoved holding Secretary Su, he couldn’t guarantee the same composure if he got tangled with Lin Ning.

He’d better be mindful of his posture later on.

“Then everyone is ready,” Chen Lingyun operated the spinners with both hands.

Red! Left foot!

Both were quick off the mark, their feet shot out at the same time, landing on the same square.

Yan Yu looked at Lin Ning’s white socks and asked Chen Lingyun:

“Part of her sock is outside the square, does that count?”

“As long as you can touch the red, it’s fine,” Chen Lingyun replied cheerfully.

“Hmph,” Lin Ning displayed a slightly smug expression, provocatively tilting her chin up at Yan Yu, her eyes gleaming like water.

This haughty little sister… makes one want to really bully her, to make her pearls fall.

While Yan Yu was entertaining unspeakable thoughts, the two spinners came to a halt again:

Green! Left hand!

Lin Ning was quick to act, swiftly getting down to press her left hand on a green square—immediately after, Yan Yu’s left hand also pressed down, interlocking fingers with hers, both firmly pressing on the green square.

“What are you doing!” Lin Ning exclaimed in embarrassment and annoyance, “Following me like a shadow, huh?”

“I originally planned to press on this spot; you just got there before I did,” Yan Yu defended himself.

“Humph humph.” Zhao Yuanzhen came up with a bad idea from the sidelines, “Ningning, arch the back of your hand to prevent his hand from touching the green and getting out!”

However, Lin Ning did not do so. She was the type who preferred to win fair and square, and didn’t like to use underhanded tactics, so she warned Yan Yu:

“Don’t you dare aim for the same square as me in the next round.”

The captain’s hand was a bit warm. Holding it was quite comfortable… Forget it, it’s just a game, no need to be so sensitive.

Anyway, I’m going to win!

Chen Lingyun spun the wheel, and the result of the third round was quickly revealed:

Red! Right hand!

Yan Yu quickly scanned the area. His left hand and foot remained unmoved, and his right hand reached under Lin Ning, finding the nearest red square to press down on.

Lin Ning, on the other hand, was a beat slower. By the time she realized it, the red squares had already been taken by Yan Yu. She had no choice but to stretch further to reach a distant square.

She stretched her arms as far as she could, barely managing to touch it… But by doing so, her entire body pressed down on top of Yan Yu, her chest flush against his back.

“Don’t move around,” Lin Ning quickly transmitted a message to him, “It’s just a game, don’t overthink it!”

“You’ve got it all wrong,” Yan Yu responded immediately, “It’s me who benefits from this situation. Why wouldn’t I think about it?”

“You, you!” Lin Ning tried to tell herself it was only a game, but Yan Yu’s response made her realize just how intimate their position was. She quickly tried to push herself up to avoid touching his back.

But with the left hand and right foot’s squares being too far apart, and her reach limited, her struggle to push herself up only made her right arm numb and nearly caused her to fall. Yan Yu used his back to steady her once again.

“If you can’t hold on, just give up,” Yan Yu transmitted to her, “Winning or losing isn’t important.”

“Then why don’t you give up?” Lin Ning’s competitive spirit flared up instantly.

“Why would I give up if I have the upper hand?” Yan Yu didn’t understand.

“Just wait and see; I’ll turn the tables in the end!” Lin Ning said angrily.

On the sidelines, Chen Lingyun had a pleased smile, Xie Ruoxi sighed, and Zhao Yuanzhen already felt that something was off; how had these two suddenly gotten so close?

However, the game’s rules necessitated touching the corresponding colored squares, and body contact was inevitable… So go for it, Ningning! Press down hard and push the little thief out of the game!

Yet Lin Ning was unaware of the Demonic Sect Enchantress’s silent cheering; now fully alert, she still wanted to win but didn’t want to continue giving the captain any advantages, so her gaze rapidly scanned for a square in the four colors nearby.

If the next spin lands on blue, and I steal this spot, he won’t be able to reach those two blue squares far away with his current posture, and I’ll win!

Chen Lingyun spun the wheel again, and the pointer began to whirl speedily.

Right foot!

Lin Ning kept a close watch on the second wheel’s outcome, noticing the pointer quickly slowing down.

Blue! Victory!

She moved like lightning, keeping her left hand, left foot, and right hand firmly in place, while her right foot swiftly stepped diagonally downwards, landing on the blue square she had her eyes on!

“You’re not wearing underwear?” Yan Yu abruptly asked through a transmitted message.

Lin Ning had just hit the blue square when she heard this and instantly froze, then quickly realized what he meant. Embarrassed, angry, annoyed, and flustered, she subconsciously reached out to pinch Yan Yu. But as soon as her right hand lifted, she lost her balance. In the ensuing panic, she desperately grabbed onto Yan Yu, pulling him down with her as she fell.

“Does this mean they are both out at the same time?” Xie Ruoxi asked curiously.

“Mhm,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, “It’s a draw, I guess.”

Of course, if one were to get technical, it was Ningning who had given up first, but girls should help each other out, and it was okay to side with her own at times like these.

Yan Yu, true to form, didn’t make a fuss about who won or lost or who tied. He tried to rise from the ground, but Lin Ning, lying behind him, wouldn’t let him go. She wrapped her arms tightly around him, digging her knees fiercely into his waist, her face flushed with embarrassment as she yelled:

“Die, die, die, die!”
