Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 710 - 8 The Flute of the Rising Tides in the

Silenced by Zhou Hongyu with a throat-locking spell.

Since all the previous experiences amounted to illusions, she decided to make up for it in reality!

But as fiery as the Phoenix Team captain’s passion was, how could the Pingxi Team captain be easily subdued? The surroundings didn’t impede movement, so when silenced by mouth, he counterattacked with his hands!

Zhou Hongyu didn’t care, even if it hurt when pinched. At most, she twisted her body a few times, insisting on kissing enough to get even.

Outside it was icy and snowy, but inside, it was as warm as spring. The two tangled through hundreds of rounds, and by the end, it was not purely driven by emotion, but mixed with a lot of thoughts about winning and losing.

I must make the other give in first!

When it came to a matter of winning or losing, Yan Yu certainly wouldn’t accept defeat. But this was Zhou Hongyu’s home ground, and he had team members worrying about him on his side; how could he possibly endlessly endure here with her?

I’m not admitting defeat; it’s just a temporary cease-fire!

He let out a few muffled noises on his side, struggled for a moment, and Zhou Hongyu readily let him go, her face breaking into a smug smile.

Ha, I won… Is this the first time I’ve actually beaten Yan Yu?

“Your underwear fell off,” Yan Yu pointed to the ground.

“It doesn’t matter, leave it,” Zhou Hongyu said nonchalantly, “It’s dirty anyway.”

“That won’t do,” Yan Yu picked it up and handed it to Zhou Hongyu, “If the Pingxi Army comes in to scavenge later and finds a piece of underwear on the ground, wouldn’t that be the end of us?”

“I said leave it!” Zhou Hongyu grew irritable, “Consider it a gift to you, take it!”

Yan Yu was instantly amused by her. As expected, even after their feelings had been confirmed, Hongyu’s nature hadn’t changed, and she was still that hot-headed little Zhou who erupted at the slightest provocation.

But what man would accept underwear as a gift? This thing, if kept in my room’s cabinet, would lead them to flay my skin and pull my bones apart.

“I’ll throw this away for you,” Yan Yu suggested, “But it’s no good as a gift, you have to choose something else.”

Zhou Hongyu paused for a moment, removed a red hair tie from her hair:

“Here, it’s for you.”

“This is?” Yan Yu arched an eyebrow, suddenly realizing that every time he had seen Zhou Hongyu before, she had always tied her hair up with this red tie.

“I got it from my grandma when I was younger,” Zhou Hongyu said.

“But that’s not good,” Yan Yu immediately protested, “Your grandma gave it to you, I can’t take it.”

“Just take it,” Zhou Hongyu insisted, putting it in his hand, then smiled slightly, “Now you owe me a hair tie.”

Yan Yu: …

Cunning! How does me taking a hair tie become me owing you?

But it’s good this way; as long as she focuses her attention on me, she probably won’t go seeking death so readily as she did in the previous life.

Sigh, for the country, people, and all living beings, my personal sacrifice is too great!

The two left the hidden room and reported to the Military Mansion Cultivators, after which Yan Yu made ready to leave.

Zhou Hongyu wanted to see him out, but Yan Yu was quicker, catching a sword light and disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Before long, Vice-Captain Zhang Huaide also arrived with a team. As the top battle team of the Pingxi Army, he had to be personally present to oversee the tally of the loot, to prevent his own team from missing out on anything good.

“Captain Yan took a flute?”

“Mm,” Zhou Hongyu said indifferently, “Don’t worry about it, I’ve explained it to the higher-ups.”

“Alright,” Zhang Huaide assumed that Yan Yu must have known the use of that flute; otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken for it in advance, “What about the other loots?”

“I took a Fire Escape Technique,” Zhou Hongyu replied, “The rest, they’re all in there, take a look yourself.”

“I see,” Zhang Huaide pondered, “So we’re square then.”

The items belonged to the Pingxi Army. If the Huofeng Team didn’t benefit from them, it would mean they helped Yan Yu with the upper echelons for nothing, having Zhou help escort the treasure; naturally, that would amount to Yan Yu owing them a favor—with Yan Yu’s current status in Lu Country’s cultivators, that favor was very valuable.

But since Zhou Hongyu had taken the Fire Escape Technique, it became a situation of each getting what they needed, and there was no longer any question of owing favors.

“Square?” Zhou Hongyu didn’t like the sound of that and subconsciously denied, “No, he owes me.”
