Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 526 - 22: Only I Can Bully

Chapter 526: Chapter 22: Only I Can Bully

In my previous life, the period after the spiritual energy concentration threshold rose from the Marrow Cleansing Stage to the Hua Mansion Stage, was rather stable and peaceful.

Back then, Yan Yu was still attending a regular university, so his memory of this era of peace wasn’t very deep; he only roughly remembered that there were no border conflicts until the end of the year. Cultivators from Lu Country mainly kept their battle readiness and feeling through participating in domestic mysterious realm contests (akin to war games).

By the end of the year, the Rakshasa Spirit Communicators began to trouble the Northern Border in succession. The enemy wasn’t difficult to handle, but their vast numbers and scattered incursions put significant pressure on the Dingbei Army.

Then, by the beginning of the next year, there was the incident of Zhou Hongyu’s sacrifice, which struck the Pingxi Army like a blow from a heavy mace. Reportedly, the subsequent investigation led to the downfall of numerous individuals involved; although it was meant to provide an explanation to the officials above and below, Yan Yu felt that her sacrifice was mainly due to unpredictable accidents—if there had to be someone to blame, then it would all be on Zhou Hongyu, wouldn’t it?

After Little Zhou became Prisoner Zhou, Deputy Captain Zhang took command in the heat of battle, inheriting the team’s leadership, and the overall quality of the Huofeng Team greatly improved… Of course, all of that happened the following year, so let’s not talk about that now.

Looking at the present, because the Amur Witch’s Group didn’t lose much strength in the war against the Bearmen, they integrated the Northern Border even more quickly after the war. Though there were still occasional border breaches, such problems, like crime, are impossible to completely eliminate, and the situation is already much better than it was in my previous life.

All these are my great achievements!

Yan Yu felt like he was like Bian Que’s older brother, “Solving problems before they manifest, hence the name is not known beyond his home.” Even if he were to take this matter to Li Weiguo to claim credit, the likely response would be similar to “Our nation has no such illness”… Alas, humanity is like this, not realizing the importance without having felt the pain!

Forget it, I’m not looking for the higher-ups to remember my contributions or anything. In this life, I only wish for the nation’s prosperity and the people’s safety; greatness needs no remembrance by others!

But what should be done about Zhao Yuanzhen in this state?

Yan Yu flew back with Zhao Yuanzhen, enveloped in his sword light; the latter remained in a depressed and speechless state, as if her life no longer contained a glimmer of light.

If Chen Lingyun knew the causes and consequences, wouldn’t that despicable woman make her cry her eyes out?

Thinking this, Yan Yu felt a mixture of pity and irritation.

The Demonic Sect Enchantress is my Daoist couple, the only one I can bully! What are you, Chen Lingyun? Not even a concubine, and you dare to bully my Enchantress?

“Don’t be too sad,” Yan Yu decided to give the Enchantress a mental adjustment, “It’s okay if you can’t eat, isn’t it just for the pleasure of taste?”

Zhao Yuanzhen still did not respond, like a clay statue.

“How about I take you out to eat something, and after eating you can throw it up,” Yan Yu continued, “As long as it’s not digested, it doesn’t count!”

After a few seconds, Zhao Yuanzhen’s eyes gradually lit up, and she suddenly revealed a radiant smile, hugged Yan Yu’s neck with tears of joy, and gratefully said,

“You scoundrel! You are the best to me!”

Possibly because joy was too vast for words, she planted a loud kiss on the side of Yan Yu’s face, leaving a large mark of saliva.

“Get away from me!” Yan Yu quickly landed, pushing the Enchantress away, and disgustedly wiped his face with his sleeve.

This Enchantress… she knows gratitude? Something isn’t right!

Oh, it must be due to the shock in her Sea of Consciousness; that must have amplified her sense of joy, leading to such an uncontrollable reaction.

“Forget it,” Zhao Yuanzhen said with a smile, shaking her head, “What’s the point of eating and then throwing up? It’s better to just go to sleep and get this day over with!”

“Suit yourself,” Yan Yu was silent for a while, then asked, “Feeling better now?”

“Yes,” Zhao Yuanzhen was still smiling, “It’s strange, I originally thought not being able to eat anything tasty was really boring, but after you said that, I feel like skipping meals for one day isn’t that important.”

“Your Dao Heart is unstable right now, all seven emotions and six desires are out of control, it’s very normal for you to be unable to restrain yourself,” Yan Yu sighed, “Luckily, there are no Heavenly Demons at the moment; otherwise, in your state, you would be easy prey.”

“Hahaha.” Zhao Yuanzhen laughed, and then suddenly became extremely sorrowful, clearly realizing that her current state was not a good sign.

Seeing her troubled and distressed look, Yan Yu reminded her,

“Try to control your emotions, at least suppress them in your heart.”

“I can’t hold it back,” Zhao Yuanzhen said sadly.

“If you go back like this, Chen Lingyun will play you to death,” Yan Yu said.

Zhao Yuanzhen immediately showed a terrified expression, taking a sharp intake of breath so intense that the temperature around Yan Yu seemed to rise several degrees.

“Forget it.” Knowing he was asking too much, Yan Yu shook his head to leave, but Zhao Yuanzhen hugged him from behind and wailed,

“Thief… No! Daoist couple, save me!”

“I can’t save you, farewell!” Yan Yu flung her hands off, but the Demonic Sect Enchantress was already not herself, and the more she thought about Chen Lingyun’s notorious reputation, the more panicked she became. She clung to him persistently, not only wrapping her arms around his back but also entwining her legs around him with all her strength, like an oversized backpack, making it clear that she wouldn’t let go until he agreed to help her.

Is this my lucky day… No, how dare she threaten me?

Yan Yu looked at the Enchantress clinging to his body and let out a cold laugh before slowly saying,

“I do have a way, but whether or not you blow your cover, that’s up to you.”

————————

In the mysterious realm’s valley, the cultivator recuperation area had been completed. The largest villa was allocated to the Zhenhai Team for their breathing exercises — its structure and layout were identical to those of the Jinling Villa, reflecting the Zhendong Army’s considerable effort in this regard.

Yan Yu brought Zhao Yuanzhen back to the villa. When the girls came over and saw Zhao Yuanzhen’s face covered with a Pig Bajie mask, they were all taken aback.

“Experimental side effect,” Yan Yu explained briefly. “She’s broken out in acne, not a pretty sight, and her voice has gone hoarse. She probably won’t be able to talk for the next few days.”

“Oh, oh, oh.” The girls immediately understood. Kind-hearted Su Yunjin even took Zhao Yuanzhen aside and comforted her gently, telling her not to worry too much.

Only Chen Lingyun smiled slightly and sent Yan Yu a telepathic message,

“Emotions amplified, right?”

“How did you know?” Yan Yu was secretly surprised.

“You think an accident at that research base, with reports going up the chain, would end up with whom?” Chen Lingyun said with a beaming smile.

“Of course, it would get to Old Li… Oh.” Yan Yu quickly realized what she meant and said with a cold laugh, “Just don’t bully her. I’m telling you, her emotions are extremely unstable right now. A small outburst that would usually pass may now become unbearable, and she might kill you on the spot, at which point I wouldn’t be able to save you in time.”

“I wasn’t planning to bully her,” Chen Lingyun said leisurely. “But aren’t you the one bullying her, tricking her into wearing a Pig Bajie mask and pretending to be mute?”

“How is that bullying?” Yan Yu argued righteously. “She doesn’t want you all to know about her condition, and I’m just giving her an idea for a cover-up. The choice is hers!”

“Heh heh.” Chen Lingyun asked cheerfully, “So, as long as we don’t openly bully her, she has to swallow her feelings and pretend nothing is wrong to keep her abnormal state hidden, right? My dear, thanks for letting me know~”

“You don’t understand a damn thing!” Yan Yu immediately flared up. “Even if she thinks you have no ill intentions, won’t she still experience uncontrollable negative emotions? If you dare bully her, I’ll bully you. Weigh your options!”

“And how would you bully me?” Chen Lingyun blinked. “I’m quite curious.”

“I…” Yan Yu was about to say something harsh when Lin Ning pulled him into the kitchen,

“Captain, what should we have for dinner? Take a look!”

Everyone was nobody’s fool; seeing Yan Yu and Chen Lingyun exchange silent glances, how could they not guess they were communicating telepathically? Lin Ning quickly intervened with her interruption tactic.

Upon hearing Lin Ning mention dinner, Zhao Yuanzhen’s heart ached, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.

Not wanting others to notice, she had no choice but to turn and go upstairs, her retreating figure as forlorn as an abandoned little animal.
