Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 781: Secret Method of Hypnosis
"So what are you doing here, kid?" Yan Yu asked, squinting.

"Old Yan," Li Zhaojiang's expression twisted into a ferocious grimace, like a demon, "I heard someone's been seeing other women behind my sister's back. Do you have any leads?"

"Haha, it must be a rumor." Yan Yu immediately looked away.

This brother-in-law, I don't know whose slander he listened to, actually came to my room to question me... What if Ye Yun didn't leave in time after we finished and chose to stay overnight at my place, and you caught her there? Wouldn't that be awkward for everyone?

"I haven't even said who it is yet, how do you know it's a rumor?" Li Zhaojiang's temples were already twitching, and he glared at Yan Yu through gritted teeth. "If I find out who cheated on my sister, I'll personally..."

"Can you beat him?" Yan Yu asked kindly.

Li Zhaojiang: ………………

Damn, it seems like we can't win.

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph hehe hehe hahaha." He suddenly let out a sinister laugh. "I may not be able to beat him, but I've heard that he has a lot of women he's been involved with. Everyone knows that even a dorm room with four girls can have five chat groups. If I can just set fire to his harem and make those women fight each other, how can he possibly solve the problem, no matter how powerful he is?"

"You're really determined to go against me, aren't you!" Upon hearing this, Yan Yu immediately dropped his pretense, grabbed his brother-in-law by the collar, and threatened, "Trying to pull this on me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

My brother-in-law just passed his tribulation yesterday and is now a Golden Core cultivator, but his core-forming grade is probably not very high. Yan Yu could easily overpower him with one hand.

But if this guy were to stir things up and create an extremely chaotic scene, I probably wouldn't be able to handle it... Bullshit! A mere chaotic scene, what can it do to me? I can take them all down by myself! I only refrained from doing so to save them some face!
"My life is nothing compared to crushing you, you scum!" Li Zhaojiang declared righteously and solemnly. "If sacrificing myself can free my sister from your clutches, I'll accept it!"

Yan Yu certainly couldn't just beat him up; otherwise, how would he explain it to Li Minghu? Therefore, he threatened him in kind:

"I've heard you've been having quite a few affairs, going through one girlfriend after another. What if I gathered all your ex-girlfriends together, called the media for a press conference, and let them talk about their impressions and opinions of you, like what sweet nothings you said to them, so that the whole world could see your true colors? Wouldn't that be interesting?"

"Brother-in-law, I was wrong." Li Zhaojiang immediately slid to his knees. "Please don't hold it against me."

"It's good that you know you're wrong..." Yan Yu just said half a sentence with a smile, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

This kid slid to his knees so quickly, he didn't have the arrogant attitude he had when he first came to settle scores with me. Could it be that he was just pretending all along, and that he actually came here this time to ask me for a favor?
“Sigh, actually, having too many ex-girlfriends is a real problem for me too.” Li Zhaojiang stood up, looking melancholy. “I was too young back then. I fell for them as soon as they pursued me, and later I found out we weren’t compatible, so I had to break up with them with a heavy heart. I hurt their feelings deeply. It was all my immature mistake.”

"Your words are truly scumbag behavior," Yan Yu immediately rebuked him. "You have no right to criticize me. At least I've never betrayed a woman's feelings!"

"Let's not talk about that anymore." Li Zhaojiang casually changed the subject. "The real reason I came here is to learn your hypnosis techniques."

"Hypnosis techniques?" Yan Yu asked, puzzled.

"It's a hypnotic technique that allows you to get them to willingly share a husband without fighting each other," Li Zhaojiang said seriously.

"Get out!" Yan Yu immediately waved his sleeve to dismiss the guests. "I've never used any evil magic! They were captivated by my extraordinary personal charm!"

"Oh, so it's a hypnotic technique called 'Charisma'," Li Zhaojiang said thoughtfully.

"You little brat, do you believe I'll drown you in the Han River?" Yan Yu grinned maliciously as he grabbed his neck. "I can't hold back my desire to kill you anymore!"

The wrath of the Lu Kingdom's divine general was terrifying! Li Zhaojiang dared not continue to act foolishly and could only tell the whole story.

It turns out that his current girlfriend is a military cultivator, and she is quite good in all aspects. The two have been dating for about half a year, and their personalities are quite compatible. They have never had any disagreements or major arguments.

Recently, it was suddenly announced that Golden Core cultivators would no longer be subject to the team system, and that they would be assigned personal assistants instead. Li Zhaojiang's assistant was a mature woman with a pleasant voice, a cheerful and generous personality, and excellent communication skills, which made this young man's heart flutter...

"Wait a minute." Yan Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly gave him the look of someone looking at a bedbug. "So, you lecherous bug, you want to cheat on me, right?"

"No!" Li Zhaojiang quickly explained, "I have no intention of betraying Qianqian (his current girlfriend)!"

"Then what are you talking about?" Yan Yu said. "Remember to keep your distance from your assistant, so your current girlfriend doesn't misunderstand."

"Well, let me put it this way." Li Zhaojiang stretched out his left hand, fingers pointing upwards, "This is Xixi, my current girlfriend."

He then extended his right hand:

"This is Sister Zhong, who is also my assistant."

Li Zhaojiang clenched his fists and said resolutely, "I want them all!"

"You want my ass!" Yan Yu scoffed. "Did your assistant agree to that?"

"Not yet," Li Zhaojiang sighed. "I've expressed my feelings, but she always manages to gloss over it. I feel like she might be interested in me too, but I guess she knows I already have a girlfriend, so she's reluctantly keeping her distance..."

"Old Yan! No, brother-in-law, I won't hold it against you for having other women behind my sister's back!" He slid down and begged again, his voice trembling with grief, "Please teach me your secret hypnotic techniques for building your harem!"

"I already told you there's no secret hypnosis technique!" Yan Yu finally lost his temper and kicked him away. "You philandering bastard, cheating on your wife and still dreaming of having your cake and eating it too, go take a piss and drink it to sober up!"

"Absolutely impossible!" Li Zhaojiang exclaimed incredulously. "In terms of handsomeness, I'm in no way inferior to you! How could I not have a harem!"

"You're so narcissistic you've gone completely mad to say something like that!" Yan Yu exclaimed excitedly. "Even if you had a tenth of my looks, you wouldn't be having all this trouble!"

"The fact that I've had so many girlfriends is the best proof!" Li Zhaojiang still didn't believe it. "I also have a lot of personal charm!"

"Then hurry up and break up with your current girlfriend, and then use your personal charm to win over your assistant. Don't come asking me for my opinion!" Yan Yu shouted.

“That won’t do.” Li Zhaojiang quickly put on a serious expression and sighed, “To be honest, when Qianqian and I first met… it was my sister who introduced us.”

Yan Yu: ………………

"Introduced by Minghu?"

“Yes,” Li Zhaojiang said sadly, “My sister admires her a lot.” “And then you wanted to dump the guy your sister arranged for you and find your assistant to find someone new.” Yan Yu couldn’t help but laugh, his eyes filled with pity and sympathy as he looked at him.

Are you trying to get yourself killed, kid?!
Cultivation has aptitude limitations. Although there are heaven-defying secret techniques like the "Thread-Pulling Technique," most people don't know about them! Considering that cultivation aptitude can be passed on to the next generation through childbirth, it's very likely that Li Minghu's idea of ​​introducing a female cultivator to her younger brother was not just her own, but a unanimous decision made by her parents and the leaders of the An'nan Army.

In China, where five-year or thirty-year plans are frequently implemented, the concept of "cultivating talent over a hundred years" and "eugenics" is quite normal. Unless one is at the level of Yan Yu or Liu Longtao, in which case marriage is entirely their own decision and no one can interfere.

“I didn’t want to break up,” Li Zhaojiang emphasized again. “Qianqian and I are in love, so please stop speculating about our relationship.”

"Then you and your assistant..."

"Who says a man can only have one true love?" Li Zhaojiang asked seriously.

Yan Yu was momentarily speechless and could only respond with a contemptuous sneer.

Of course, a normal person can only have one true love. Anyone who denies this can be kicked out and labeled a scumbag. As for me... I'm a special case. I'm here to appease these top-tier female cultivators of the Lu Kingdom, win their hearts, and ensure their loyalty. It's a selfless act of righteousness for the country and its people. How can that be the same?

But even a casual thought revealed that Li Zhaojiang's tiny brain couldn't possibly understand my predicament, so Yan Yu didn't bother with further explanation and simply asked:
Does your current girlfriend agree to you having a harem?

“I haven’t asked yet,” Li Zhaojiang said thoughtfully, “but I’ve probed, and I guess they probably won’t agree.”

How did you test him?

“I told her about your harem,” Li Zhaojiang said with an embarrassed smile. “She said you’re a scumbag.”

"You little brat, you're trying to smear me in front of others again!" Yan Yu said viciously, unleashing a powerful strike that could split the skull. "Believe it or not, I'll tell Minghu all your dirty thoughts!"

"No!" Li Zhaojiang screamed immediately, whether from pain or fear, it was hard to tell. "Brother-in-law, you can't do this! You can't do this!"

Seeing him groveling on the ground begging for mercy, Yan Yu quickly suppressed his anger, having already decided how to teach him a lesson, but said expressionlessly:

"So, your assistant, you say she's interested in you, what evidence do you have?"

"I'll show you the chat history." Li Zhaojiang really didn't treat Yan Yu like an outsider, eagerly handing him his phone. "Old Yan, you're a seasoned womanizer, can you help me analyze it?"

"How the hell am I a seasoned player in the game of love?" Yan Yu muttered to himself as he looked down at his phone to check the chat history.

Li Zhaojiang (voice): Are you free to have dinner today? It's my treat.

Assistant (voice): No, I can't. I haven't finished my work yet.

Li Zhaojiang (voice): Do you have that much work? Should I talk to your supervisor and try to reduce your workload?

Assistant (voice): Haha, no need to trouble yourself. This is my job, it wouldn't be right to push it onto someone else, thank you Zhaojiang.

The rest was just a bunch of pointless chatter, mostly Li Zhaojiang trying to start conversations and the other person responding politely... Aside from his really nice voice, he wasn't trying to seduce you at all. It's clearly you who's fallen for him!

"Look!" Li Zhaojiang pointed to the text on the screen, "She said she was afraid of troubling me, and even thanked me. She's clearly interested in me!"

"...I really suspect that all those ex-girlfriends of yours probably threw themselves at you." Yan Yu stared at him suspiciously. "Otherwise, with your emotional intelligence, how could you possibly find a girlfriend?"

“Hey, I’m not kidding you anymore.” Li Zhaojiang waved his hand and said, “Of course I can tell she’s keeping her distance from me.”

"Then you still want to pursue her?" Yan Yu scoffed. "Isn't it already impossible?"

“Not necessarily.” Li Zhaojiang stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, “She is my Golden Core Realm Master’s assistant. Isn’t her job to unconditionally gain my trust and facilitate communication between me and the Privy Council? If I clearly express the meaning of ‘either be my lover or I’ll replace her,’ she should have no choice but to submit.”

“...Ah Jiang.”

"What's wrong, brother-in-law?"

"You're such a scumbag," Yan Yu said with a sigh.

"I only said 'if,' I didn't really intend to do that," Li Zhaojiang quickly clarified. "Rather than coercing her with work, I would much rather she do it willingly... So, brother-in-law, can you teach me your hypnosis techniques?"

"I've already said there's no such secret method, how many times do I have to repeat myself?"

"Old Yan, that's not very fair of you," Li Zhaojiang said sinisterly. "You don't want my older sister to find out about your harem built using hypnosis techniques, do you?"

"I've already called your sister." Yan Yu finally lost his temper and pulled out his phone, showing a call with Li Minghu on speakerphone. "You've provoked me time and time again, you're really stubborn!"

Li Zhaojiang: ………………

Sweat suddenly started pouring down my face.

"Ah Jiang." Li Minghu's calm voice came from the phone, "I don't remember teaching you to be a fickle, heartless scumbag, do I?"

"Sister, sister!" Li Zhaojiang hurriedly shouted, "Let me explain, I was just joking with Lao Yan..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Yu had already hung up the phone, revealing an extremely arrogant and sinister smile:

"Go to hell and call your sister to explain!"

"You traitor Yan, I'll fight you to the death!"
