Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 786: Only the strong can rule

Yan Yu found it strange, because given Zhang Huaide's cautious and rigid personality, he should know that nine out of ten high school romances don't last. Why would he do something so futile and fruitless?
Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that his girlfriend was exceptionally capable. To prove that she could attend the same university as him and that they wouldn't break up even after graduating from high school, she spent an entire semester raising her academic ranking from over 300th in the entire school to the top 10, becoming "a woman worthy of Zhang Huaide."

If you do the math, his girlfriend was still a minor at the time! Deceiving a minor girl into focusing on her studies under the guise of a relationship—this Zhang Huaide is indeed a criminal case.

Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick. The year the two were about to take the college entrance examination, spiritual energy revived... Zhang Huaide went to Pingxi National Defense Academy, and his girlfriend went to Xi'an Jiaotong University. In the end, they still couldn't attend the same university.

"So she gave up?" Yan Yu asked. "That's unlikely. According to your description, she was determined to have you. She wouldn't let a mere difference in schools hold her back."

“Of course she wouldn’t give up.” Zhang Huaide paused for a moment, a rare look of weariness appearing on his face. “A week before enrollment, she invited me to a hotel…”

"Stop, halt," Yan Yu said. "No need to say anything more, just the prison seal."

“She was already an adult at the time,” Zhang Huaide explained. “Her birthday was in February, and I didn’t break the law.”

"That's not important," Yan Yu said with a sigh. "What's important is that you're the kind of guy who gets pursued by a woman, and she even goes to such lengths for you. It's really something to be jealous of."

"Speaking of pursuing someone, Yan Yu, you have no right to judge me," Zhang Huaide said calmly. "How about we compare numbers..."

“Quantity is not as important as quality,” Yan Yu immediately interrupted him. “You’ve already grown into a man before you even went to university.”

“That’s undeniable,” Zhang Huaide said thoughtfully. “However, no matter what aspect we compare, men who have harems are always more enviable.”

"The position of empress may seem glamorous on the surface, but the price and bitter consequences I have to pay are all swallowed silently by myself," Yan Yu sighed and said helplessly. "If we really compare, you couples are much happier."

"Really?" Zhang Huaide said dismissively. "Why don't we find someone to evaluate it..."

"Wait a minute, isn't this like a besieged city? People inside want to get out, and people outside want to get in." Yan Yu immediately objected. "Most people don't have a harem, so they'll definitely think having one is great! What value can the opinions of the majority have?"

"Speaking of which," Zhang Huaide said, seeing that he was just making things up, and didn't dwell on the topic, but instead asked, "I'm quite curious. Given Hongyu's personality, how did she willingly agree to be with Xiaolian?"

"That's all thanks to my personal charm," Yan Yu replied seriously. "When you're enjoying a meal at a really great restaurant, your expectations for service quality drop, and you become more accepting of things like sharing a table."

"Is that so?" Zhang Huaide asked thoughtfully.

Although Lao Zhang is a smart man, he is too emotionally tied down and has almost no opportunity to experience any form of love triangle. He doesn't even have a love rival, so he is extremely inexperienced in this area.

...However, he was forced to hide here with me, so it seems that so-called personal charm can't make a woman absolutely obedient to him.

Having considered this, Zhang Huaide roughly understood the situation. He pointed to the card set on the table next to him and asked:

"If you're looking to kill time... have you played this before?"

While Yan Yu and Zhang Huaide were playing cards, in his room, the standoff between Zhao Yuanzhen, Zhou Hongyu, and Tang Xiaolian continued.

"Why are you in his room?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked coldly.

"And what right do you have to ask that question?" Zhou Hongyu retorted with a sneer.

Seeing the tension between the two, Tang Xiaolian quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Um, we're here to ask Yan Yu for a favor..."

She was naturally annoyed by Zhao Yuanzhen's imperious attitude, but at least she remembered that this was Yan Yu's room. If the two of them really got into a fight, regardless of who won or lost, Yan Yu's room would definitely be lost.

We can't fight here anyway! Let's see if we can negotiate first.

"What is it?" Zhao Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes. "Why didn't he tell me?"

"He doesn't tell you everything, does he?" Tang Xiaolian whispered to Zhou Hongyu to be quiet, then explained to Zhao Yuanzhen, "Why don't you call him and ask?"

"Of course I'll ask." Zhao Yuanzhen took out her phone, about to dial, when suddenly her nostrils twitched slightly. "What's that smell in this room?"

"Uh—" Tang Xiaolian hurriedly said, "It must be the smell of pollen. I picked a bunch of flowers outside and gave them to Yan Yu."

"Then why can't we see any flowers in the room?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked, frowning.

“He took it with him when he left,” Tang Xiaolian said, trying to salvage the situation.

"I see." Zhao Yuanzhen nodded seriously.

The next second, she had already taken a step forward, as fast as a tiger, and her punch was blocked by Zhou Hongyu, who was quick-witted and agile.

"Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?" Zhao Yuanzhen's expression twisted into a sneer. "This smell... even if it's ventilated for three days and three nights, I could still smell it!"

"How pathetic," Zhou Hongyu said sarcastically. "You're like a beggar outside a restaurant, unable to eat what's inside, just staring longingly at the aroma and going crazy."

"I can't eat it?" Zhao Yuanzhen seemed to have heard some utterly absurd nonsense. "That's laughable. I've eaten more than you've smelled, okay?"

"How come the last bite ended up with me?" Zhou Hongyu retorted. "And what's with that jealous look on your face?"

"Enough! Enough!" Tang Xiaolian couldn't take it anymore. "What's the point of comparing such indecent things? Are you all elementary school students? If you want to fight, go outside!"

"Just what I wanted!" Zhao Yuanzhen turned and left. "If you don't dare to come, you'll always be a mistress! As long as I'm by Yan Yu's side, you can forget about ever entering the Yan family!"

"You idiot!" Zhou Hongyu cursed, "You've been watching TV so much your brain is full of swill! You call yourself 'Empress'? I'll burn you to ashes in a minute!"

The two left in a hurry, leaving Tang Xiaolian dumbfounded, her heart skipping a beat.

Oh no, have I messed up?

Zhao Yuanzhen flew to the sky above Wudang Mountain on his sword, turned around and looked at Zhou Hongyu, who was also in mid-air, and coldly asked:

"Hit here?"

"So you want to call in base personnel to break up the fight when you're about to lose, right?" Zhou Hongyu said contemptuously. "Then mark a territory," Zhao Yuanzhen said.

"How about going to the Southern Border?" Zhou Hongyu asked coldly.

“Then let’s go to the Southern Border,” Zhao Yuanzhen said fiercely.

She had already figured it out. Among the women around Yan Yu, the girls from the original team would definitely not disobey her, but it was hard to say about the outsiders. There was neither camaraderie nor a relationship of mutual suppression between them, so basically no one would submit to her.

Zhou Hongyu has a fiery temper and has openly challenged her to her face. What about Tang Xiaolian? Ye Jun? Li Minghu? Even if they speak kindly to her on the surface, no one knows if they truly respect her.

The status of the first wife is not earned by calling her name, but by beating her!
If I were strong enough, I'd shove Yan Yu's head down the toilet and make him send all those women away! What else can I do if I can't beat him? I'll just beat all the women around him into submission and make me his first wife!
Zhao Yuanzhen had perfectly valid reasons for fighting, and Zhou Hongyu was also someone with impure motives. Because when she saw Zhao Yuanzhen barge into Yan Yu's room, her subconscious reaction was actually a little guilty.

Being close to the water tower, one gets the moon first. After years of living together day and night, these girls are definitely more favored by Yan Yu than he is now. There's no comparison.

From now on, there will be no more teams!

Handsome men are only fit for the leading lady! Don't try to scare me with your team members. You've only known him for two years, but I'll stay with him for ten or twenty years. As long as I beat you all far away and leave Yan Yu with only me by his side, who can compete with me?
Without saying a word, the two started fighting.

Zhou Hongyu spewed forth a great flame, which instantly transformed into a boundless sea of ​​fire. Trees were ablaze, rivers dried up, and the area within a radius of dozens of miles was instantly turned into a charred inferno, with waves of heat still rolling even a hundred miles away.

Zhao Yuanzhen sneered and shouted, "I can also control fire!" He then summoned the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer and smashed it into the ground. He made a hand seal and ignited a large amount of white bone demonic fire, which was grayish-white and sinister. Under the fire control secret technique of the puppet Ami, it forcefully pressed down towards the sea of ​​light and fire!

The divine fire and demonic fire clashed, their battle lines stretching for hundreds of miles. The Great Bright Fire, with its power to ward off evil and destroy malevolent forces, and the White Bone Demonic Fire, being powered by a magical artifact, was inferior in scale and quality to the Daoist methods. As a result, it quickly showed signs of being overwhelmed and forced to retreat.

Zhao Yuanzhen inwardly cried out in alarm and immediately changed his attack. He took out the Red Lotus Bowl again, which spun in the air and instantly expanded countless times, trapping the two of them upside down inside. He then summoned countless karmic fire red lotuses to attack Hong Yu.

Zhou Hongyu realized the danger and immediately spat out the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire, pulverizing all the incoming red lotuses.

But the red lotus was cut into pieces, and countless petals burst open instantly, shooting towards her like flying swords. In an instant, Zhou Hongyu was caught off guard and her advantage was reversed.

The two fought fiercely and valiantly within the crimson lotus alms bowl. From the outside, all that could be seen was the seemingly endless flashes of lightning and thunder, and the intertwining and clashing flames around them made it clear that Golden Core cultivators were engaged in a battle.

Several sorcerers who rushed over upon hearing the news quickly turned back to report to their respective lords.

The lords came over and saw that it was a Golden Core cultivator from the Lu Kingdom. They couldn't defeat him; they'd have to call the Witch King to handle it! (Isn't that what the Witch King does?)
King Hu Minghua was originally just a mediocre sorcerer, but because of his status as an overseas Chinese from the Lu Kingdom, he was pushed to the forefront. He was also very clear about his position and responsibilities. He immediately wrote a state document and sent it online to the Privy Council of the Lu Kingdom, asking the two great gods to quickly withdraw their supernatural powers, because our small family in the Southern Territory could not afford any more trouble.

The Privy Council was also bewildered when they received the news: How did these two end up fighting?

Ask the assistant.

Zhao Yuanzhen doesn't have an assistant yet because only Yan Yu can control and tame her, a fact confirmed by Mei Yingxue. As for Zhou Hongyu, she does have an assistant, but the two haven't spent enough time together to become close friends, and the assistant doesn't know why Zhou Hongyu went out to fight.

Fortunately, there's still Yan Yu, their mutual boyfriend. Let's ask him quickly!

Yan Yu was playing cards in Zhang Huaide's room and had lost five or six games in a row, so he was getting a little anxious. Seeing that he was likely to lose again this time, he figured he needed to think of a way to overturn the card table.

Suddenly I received a call from Li Weiguo, saying that I didn't have time to play anymore, so this round was a draw!

"Zhao Yuanzhen and Zhou Hongyu are fighting in the skies above the southern border. What's going on?" Li Weiguo asked directly. "Such a big thing, why didn't you report it to us beforehand?"

"I have no idea how they started fighting!" Yan Yu was even more baffled.

"Don't you know?" Li Weiguo asked with great suspicion.

"I really didn't know!" Yan Yu was completely in the dark, but he was also a clever fellow. Combining the fact that Zhou Hongyu had stayed in his room, he immediately guessed most of the situation. "You don't expect me to go and mediate the fight, do you?"

"Of course we should try to persuade them if we can," Li Weiguo said with a wry smile. "Regardless of why they are fighting or where they are fighting, they are all on our side. If they really fight and both sides are injured, that would not be appropriate."

“You’re right,” Yan Yu nodded and said. “I’ll think of a way.”

After hanging up the phone, he began to ponder.

Advising is important, but it depends on how you do it. If you rush into the battlefield shouting "Stop fighting!" you'll only end up hurting yourself, because those two aren't heartless nuns.

"If we can't determine a winner on the battlefield, let's find another place to settle it." It feels like both Zhao Yuanzhen and Zhou Hongyu have the kind of thought process that can come up with this solution.

"I think we should ask Xiaolian instead." Seeing Yan Yu deep in thought, Zhang Huaide casually reminded him, "She's been inseparable from Hongyu lately, so she should know some of the details. The one who tied the knot must untie it."

“That makes sense.” Yan Yu then called Tang Xiaolian in front of Zhang Huaide.

Little did she know that Tang Xiaolian, realizing she had caused trouble and powerless to stop the two from fighting, had already retreated to her room. Seeing Yan Yu's call, she was terrified and dared not answer.

Yan Yu kept calling, urging her relentlessly, forcing Tang Xiaolian to pretend to be dead. She had no choice but to reluctantly answer the phone.

"Hey?"

"Xiao Lian, Hong Yu and Sister Zhao are fighting," Yan Yu asked bluntly. "Do you have any leads?"

What could I possibly know? Of course, they started fighting because they were jealous of you! It had absolutely nothing to do with what I said when I was trying to break them up.

"Oh, I don't know," Tang Xiaolian feigned ignorance and asked, "Are they fighting? Why?"

Yan Yu was taken aback. You didn't know?

All that could be heard was Zhang Huaide's voice transmission:
"Back in the team, whenever Tang Xiaolian caused trouble, she would speak in this deliberately naive tone."

"Hmph, I saw that too." Yan Yu sneered. "Call her over here for questioning!"
