Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 551 - 47 Opening the Shell

Chapter 551: Chapter 47 Opening the Shell

Judging solely by the features and attractiveness, Ye Jun was much better looking than He Ye.

He Ye’s eyes were small and slender, a typical peach blossom shape. Although they gave her a delicate appearance, they paled in comparison to Ye Jun’s bright and charming eyes.

If Yan Yu had to choose between the two, whether for their looks or personality, he would prefer Ye Jun.

But Lord Master had chosen He Ye.

It only goes to show that someone was indeed a great sinner, capturing the ill will of many with a pretty face to the point where Lord Master now felt little attraction towards beautiful girls.

As everyone knows, the final part of team building is often singing, as the dim light in the karaoke room facilitates letting guards down and bonding.

So, the group moved from board games to the karaoke room, where Liu Longtao ordered drinks and beverages for everyone—the beverages being for He Ye, as her parents strictly forbade her from drinking alcohol without a relative present.

Cai Qianlong assured everyone time and again that he had won the singing competition three years in a row during high school, until Liu Longtao, vexed by his nagging, handed the microphone over to him.

He Ye sat beside Liu Longtao, whispering and murmuring with Song Jia.

On the other side, Yan Yu and Ye Jun leisurely sipped expensive red wine with names they couldn’t pronounce, as Cai Qianlong belted out tunes and Liu Longtao sneered and jeered beside him.

“That sounds awful,” Ye Jun said sneakily with a laugh.

“It’s not too bad,” Yan Yu commented diplomatically, “just a bit off tune here and there.”

“A broken gong can’t hit the high notes,” Ye Jun stretched languidly and then suddenly said, “Lend me your thigh to lie on.”

“Ouch, what are you doing?”

“Don’t forget we’re pretending to be a couple. Acting so distant will arouse suspicion,” Ye Jun said as she lay down on his legs and started playing with her phone. “Besides, it was the excuse you came up with, right? I like clinging to you when we’re together.”

Yan Yu allowed her to lie on his legs, his thoughts suddenly drifting to the matters of his past life.

Chen Lingyun also liked lying on his legs, then pouting as if seeking a kiss, but the moment he took her seriously and leaned down, that woman would quickly press two fingers against his lips pretending they were hers, showing a “haha, you fell for it” expression.

The more you wanted to kiss, the more she wouldn’t let you succeed. You could only kiss when she wanted to.

It was just one of many details, but it was such an accumulation of these that made Yan Yu grow increasingly vexed with her until he reached the point of disappointment.

At least if I lowered my head now, Ye Jun most likely wouldn’t reject me.

Thinking this, Yan Yu suddenly leaned down.

Ye Jun’s gaze was still on her phone when she realized Yan Yu’s face was inching closer and closer, and she instantly looked up to stare directly at him.

Without dodging or blinking, she just met his gaze, making Yan Yu feel somewhat unnatural as he asked:

“What’s wrong?”

“What are you doing?” Ye Jun asked in return.

“It seemed like there was something on your face.” Yan Yu sat back upright and said seriously, “I got closer to check, but it turns out I was mistaken.”

“Oh.” Ye Jun said.

She felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment and irritation in her heart, and suddenly slapped her hand onto Yan Yu’s face, holding his cheek.

“What?” Yan Yu was somewhat puzzled. It wasn’t painful, but the slap wasn’t light either—there was some force to it.

“I also thought I saw something on your face,” Ye Jun sat up straight, pretending to look at her palm before withdrawing her hand, “I thought it might be an insect, but it turns out I was mistaken.”

“I see.” Yan Yu nodded, then added, “Hey, is there something on your chest there…”

“If you dare touch me I’ll stab you with Flying Sword,” Ye Jun warned sternly, “even if there really is something, it’s not allowed.”

“Stabbing me with Flying Sword is a bit extreme,” Yan Yu immediately protested, “Don’t forget our relationship.”

“Hmph.” Ye Jun secretly transmitted her voice to him, “A fake couple is still fake, so no touching, understand?”

“Understood,” Yan Yu replied.

Ye Jun squinted at him, hoping in her heart that he really hadn’t understood.

Because if he really did understand and still refused to follow up, that would mean…

“I should go back now,” He Ye suddenly said.

“Oh, then I’ll take you there,” Liu Longtao quickly offered.

“No need,” He Ye laughed, “My dad is coming to pick me up by car. He’ll be at the store entrance in a few minutes. You guys keep having fun.”

Liu Longtao insisted on walking He Ye to the door, and the two of them left the private room, leaving the remaining four people looking at each other with no one continuing to pick songs.

“Hey Old Yan,” Cai Qianlong suddenly said, “are you and Ye Jun actually a couple?”

“What’s up?” Before Yan Yu could speak, Ye Jun took the initiative to ask, “Do you think we’re not a good match?”

“It’s not that,” Cai Qianlong scratched his head, confused, “Why do I feel that instead of being like a couple, you two are more like flirting with each other?”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Song Jia slapped her boyfriend’s thigh, “Do you think everyone’s like you, always thinking about that stuff all day?”

“But that’s what Old Yan said himself!” Cai Qianlong argued with his girlfriend, insisting, “After they established their relationship, they’re always rushing off to book hotel rooms! They’ve already been to a hotel room, and still they go on flirting here and there. Isn’t that weird?”

“What does it take for you to believe?” Ye Jun suddenly asked.

“At least a kiss or something…”

Before the words had finished, Ye Jun had already mounted Yan Yu, her hands gripping his head tightly, and she kissed him forcefully with an unmistakable air of aggression.

Yan Yu suddenly realized that Ye Jun, despite her seemingly easy-going nature, actually had a very strong impulsive streak. For example, when she was ordered by the Dingbei Army to guard him, she dared to share a bed and chat with him; or when she left her team on her own initiative to come find him in Minyue Province after being coaxed by him in just a few words; or now, provoked by Cai Qianlong…

Perhaps her reason for becoming the spokesperson for the Dingbei Army in her previous life wasn’t because no second-line team wanted her, but because she impulsively chose to retire.

Lost in uncontrollable thoughts, Yan Yu tried hard not to pay attention to the warmth coming from their lips. Suddenly, he felt his teeth pried open as if an otter had deftly opened a shell.

After a long while, Ye Jun let go, turned to Cai Qianlong and said:

“Do you believe it now?”

“I believe, I believe,” Cai Qianlong hurriedly responded.

His personality was bold, but he wouldn’t dare to kiss Song Jia in front of others, or else his girlfriend would surely make him suffer by kneeling on a keyboard later. Ye Jun, being able to do such a thing publicly, did indeed fit with the setup of “often going to book hotel rooms with Yan Yu.”

Yan Yu grabbed a napkin and wiped away the saliva from the corner of his mouth, when suddenly he heard Ye Jun’s voice in his mind:

“Sorry.”

“Why apologize?”

“Suddenly remembered, He Ye has already left, we don’t need to pretend to be a couple anymore,” Ye Jun said as if it were nothing.

Understanding what she meant – “I kissed you only to not look suspicious in front of Cai Qianlong” – Yan Yu chuckled in his mind:

“It’s okay, as long as you don’t really like me.”

“Oh?” Ye Jun fell silent for a while, then suddenly asked in his mind, “If it’s acting, it’s no problem, but what if I kissed you because I truly liked you? What would you do then?”

“Well, that’s a different story,” Yan Yu replied, “Unless that really happens, I can’t say how I would react.”

“However, if I were to really consider a romantic relationship, I would definitely give priority to members of the team.”

“Why?” Ye Jun strived to keep her voice steady, and since mental communication was about conveying thoughts, maintaining composure wasn’t too difficult.

“Because the Zhendong Army would definitely want me to find a partner within the internal structure,” Yan Yu laughed heartily, saying, “Members of the Zhenhai Team are like the direct descendants of the commander-in-chief, which saves him the trouble of having to inspect backgrounds and fuss about it. It’s annoying.”

Ye Jun looked at him blankly, her originally anxious eyes slowly steadying.

So that’s how it is.

Which means, you hope that I…
