Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 783 Thank you, Sister
The two strolled along a mountain path.

Originally a scenic area of ​​famous mountains and rivers, it is now deserted as it has been designated a military base. A few hours after the rain, it now possesses a serene and tranquil beauty, reminiscent of the line "after a fresh rain in an empty mountain."

Li Minghu's hands were cool yet soft, like smooth and delicate jade, and quite comfortable to hold.

Holding hands, growing old together. Yan Yu pondered that if he were to truly put this into practice, he would first need to grow ten hands…

Otherwise, don't hold hands with any of them, lest you cause strange competition and get yourself into trouble.

His gaze shifted to the side, landing on Li Minghu's profile.

The Valkyrie's expression was serene. She was always like this; even when she smiled, it was only a slight smile, like the subtle flavor of a simmered porridge…

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Minghu asked with a smile.

"Oh, it's nothing," Yan Yu said casually. "I suddenly realized there was hardly anyone around, it was very quiet..."

Before he finished speaking, a person appeared from around the corner of the mountain road opposite.

Yan Yu: ………………

Look at my jinxed mouth!

--------

Tang Xiaolian takes time every day to go out and let her pet spirit insects get some fresh air.

Low-level insects can be kept indoors without much problem, but high-level ferocious insects like the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu need to be allowed to come out to hunt and drink blood every day, otherwise they will become extremely ferocious and indiscriminate towards their own kind if they are kept cooped up.

The base staff released some poultry and livestock nearby. After Tang Xiaolian went out, she directed the insects to kill and share the food. After they finished eating, they brought the insects back to the base. But just as she turned the corner of the mountain road, she saw a couple holding hands and slowly walking towards her on the mountain steps.

It was Yan Yu and Li Minghu!
Li Minghu remained expressionless, while Yan Yu's face showed a moment of embarrassment, but he quickly suppressed it.

Tang Xiaolian stared at Yan Yu as if a cat were watching a swallow that had fallen to the ground, her feet never stopping until she was close enough to the two of them to slowly speak:
"It seems that I came at the wrong time."

What a jerk! What a jerk! What a jerk! He slept with me last time and never came back. Turns out he was out enjoying a romantic stroll in the mountains with Li Minghu!
"What are you talking about?" Yan Yu laughed. "You've come at just the right time."

With his free left hand, he swiftly grabbed Tang Xiaolian's right hand, and with a gentle push of his shoulder, he immediately turned her 180 degrees so that she could walk alongside him.

Tang Xiaolian: ? ? ?

"Is Xiao Lian out to release insects?" Li Minghu asked with a smile.

Tang Xiaolian immediately became angry and said sarcastically:

"Yes, my bugs have to come out and eat people every day, otherwise they will rebel."

"Eating people?" Yan Yu asked in surprise, "Eating what kind of people?"

"Scumbag," Tang Xiaolian said. "My little bugs only eat scumbags."

Yan Yu frowned slightly, thinking that Little Lian probably wanted to be beaten, otherwise she wouldn't have said such sarcastic and indirect things. But then he heard Li Minghu say:
What defines a "scumbag" boyfriend?

"He forgot all about it after sleeping with her, then turned around and held hands with another woman. He's such a scumbag, you're rotten to the core," Tang Xiaolian said with a sneer.

“According to your logic, you shouldn’t have held his hand,” Li Minghu said calmly. “After all, he’s slept with other women.”

Tang Xiaolian was speechless, while Yan Yu's spirits lifted.

well said!
Sure enough, as long as a man is charming enough, he doesn't need to be afraid of being labeled a scumbag; women will take the initiative to defend him!
Tang Xiaolian finally realized what was happening and was secretly annoyed. She said, "You and I are both girls who like him. We should unite to put pressure on him and prevent him from finding new women. Why are you attacking each other for the sake of winning his favor?"
“You haven’t slept with him yet,” she retorted. “Even if we’re talking about qualifications, you’re the least qualified to hold his hand.”

“I’m different,” Li Minghu said.

"How is it different?" Tang Xiaolian immediately asked.

"I like scumbags," Li Minghu said with a smile.

Yan Yu laughed inwardly, unable to resist tightening his grip on Li Minghu's fingers. He thought to himself that a Valkyrie is a Valkyrie; even without a flying sword in her hand, her words are still as sharp as knives!

Tang Xiaolian was indeed killed instantly, her mind went blank for a while before she could sort out her thoughts.

Li Minghu's logic was simple: if you believe Yan Yu is a scumbag, you shouldn't have held his hand; if you did, it means you like a scumbag, and you have no legitimate reason to criticize him. At this point, leaving would make her a loser, only able to watch the two leave affectionately. Tang Xiaolian, naturally unwilling to admit defeat, argued:

"He's a bit of a jerk, but not completely rotten. The reason I'm still willing to hold his hand is to give him a chance to change and guide him to become a better person!"

Hearing her try to justify herself, Yan Yu chuckled inwardly, only to hear Li Minghu ask again:

What constitutes true repentance and reform?

“If you’ve slept with someone, you have to take responsibility,” Tang Xiaolian snorted. “As for those you haven’t slept with, you certainly shouldn’t touch them.”

"So, Yan Yu, will you repent and start anew?" Li Minghu asked with a smile.

"No," Yan Yu replied.

"You!" Tang Xiaolian was furious and jumped up, biting his arm hard.

Yan Yu remained calm and said:
"I promised Minghu that I would help her break her promise to reach the Golden Core stage. Xiaolian, don't force me to break my promise."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaolian released her grip. Seeing that there wasn't a single tooth mark on her mouth, she thought to herself, "I certainly didn't bite hard, but you definitely activated the Elephant Curse!" So she said angrily, "..."
"Let's keep that separate. Since it was just for dual cultivation, let's not dwell on it anymore after it's over."

“That won’t work either,” Li Minghu said with a smile.

"Why?" Tang Xiaolian immediately retorted.

"Because if you've slept with someone, you have to take responsibility," Li Minghu said.

Tang Xiaolian was speechless. She finally realized that she was no match for the Valkyrie in a verbal battle, and Yan Yu obviously wouldn't help her. She could only puff out her cheeks and imagine Yan Yu as a piece of houttuynia cordata, which she was biting and chewing hard, trying to squeeze out all his juice.

"Xiao Lian, do you hate me?" Li Minghu continued to ask.

"If you like someone, would you hate being around someone of the same sex?" Tang Xiaolian asked her in return.

“I don’t know how,” Li Minghu replied. “And you probably don’t either.”

"How do you know I can't?" Tang Xiaolian raised her eyebrows.

“Because Captain Zhou also likes Yan Yu,” Li Minghu said, “and you don’t dislike Captain Zhou.”

“…Team Leader Zhou is different.” Tang Xiaolian said after a moment of silence.

"How is it different?" Li Minghu asked curiously.

Tang Xiaolian had no answer.

Actually, there's not much difference, she told herself.

If you can have something all to yourself, you definitely can't accept sharing it with others; but if you've already accepted the fact of sharing, then it's very troublesome to start fighting over it—Yan Yu has almost double digits of women around him, and he can't possibly be jealous of them all. He can't possibly fight against so many people by himself.

What really bothered Tang Xiaolian was that Yan Yu didn't come to visit her; instead, he chose to go for a walk with Li Minghu. It was hard to say she harbored any resentment towards Li Minghu.

Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, Li Minghu then transmitted her voice to Yan Yu:

"Alright, you can comfort her now."

"Huh?" Yan Yu asked, puzzled.

“She was angry just now, and it would be easy for her to take advantage of us if we tried to appease her,” Li Minghu explained. “Now that she’s calmed down, we can appease her.”

"You really are..." Yan Yu suddenly couldn't find the words of praise.

But Li Minghu saw through his thoughts again and smiled:

"If you can't think of anything, you can say 'Thank you, Sister Minghu'."

"Thank you, Sister Minghu!" Yan Yu thought that it might not be a bad idea to temporarily act like a sister-obsessed brother and show off to his brother-in-law.
