Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 790: The Fall of Jingye
Yan Yu was well aware of the conflict between Zhou Hongyu and Zhao Yuanzhen.

Wherever there are people, there is conflict. The girls of the Zhenhai team can't even be a united front themselves, so how could they possibly accept Zhou Hongyu without any reservations?
Yan Yu didn't expect them to love each other like sisters. He was satisfied as long as they could maintain effective communication and avoid causing unnecessary conflicts.

Hongyu was so sensible just now; she even knew to mend her relationship with the demoness, saving me a lot of trouble. The demoness was also very magnanimous this time, shaking hands and making peace with Hongyu. My heart is truly humbled!

Yan Yu cleared his throat, just about to praise the two of them, defining them as a model of "harmony is paramount"... when he saw Zhou Hongyu lean closer and say:

"Yan Yu, here's some shrimp for you."

She placed the shrimp she was holding with her chopsticks into Yan Yu's bowl, and took the opportunity to press her rather large upper body against him.

Everyone:………………

Yan Yu remained calm and picked up a shrimp and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, he heard a snapping sound. It turned out that Zhao Yuanzhen had accidentally broken the chopsticks.

"Yan Yu." A stiff, predatory smile appeared on her face as she used the broken chopsticks to pick up a shrimp. "You can have my shrimp too."

The two women flanked Yan Yu, each wielding their chopsticks with incredible speed and skill. A plate of stir-fried green beans with shrimp, containing only five or six shrimp, was devoured in no time, piled entirely into Yan Yu's bowl.

Before Yan Yu had finished eating the shrimp, Zhao Yuanzhen pulled his right arm into her embrace, then dragged over the plate of assorted tofu next to him, saying with a forced smile:
"Here, have some tofu."

Seeing that Tang Xiaolian's expression was smiling but her sinister expression was barely concealed, Zhou Hongyu sneered inwardly, thinking that Tang Xiaolian's plan was truly ingenious. Yan Yu must have already realized that this vixen was narrow-minded and not someone to be trusted!
She grew increasingly smug, her long legs swinging under the table, rubbing against Yan Yu's legs. Meanwhile, a plate of lettuce and ham was moved onto the table, and she said:

"Don't just eat tofu, it's bland. Have some ham."

Yan Yu was speechless, then looked at the people at the table. Su Yunjin looked embarrassed, Xie Ruoxi was eager to try, and Chen Lingyun had a smile on her face. Although their expressions were different, no one said a word.

Damn it, none of you are even trying to break up this fight! I don't remember raising you all into such wicked women who thrive on chaos in the inner quarters!

Zhou Hongyu and Zhao Yuanzhen were at loggerheads. One of them took a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the other took a plate of braised eggplant and green beans. They put them all on Yan Yu's left and right sides and began to feed him in turns.

Seeing Yan Yu eat the candied cherry tomatoes that Zhou Hongyu handed him, Zhao Yuanzhen scooped up a loofah with a soup spoon and, not to be outdone, offered it to him.

"I can't eat anymore," Yan Yu said, waving his hand.

"You ate hers, but you won't eat mine," Zhao Yuanzhen said with a cold snort. "You're putting me in a difficult position."

"Difficult to handle?" Yan Yu sneered. "Then let's not do it!"

He kicked off the table leg, spilling most of the soup on it, and used the force to fly backward.

Zhao Yuanzhen lunged forward, charging at Yan Yu; Zhou Hongyu gave chase, relentlessly pursuing her. The two attacked Yan Yu together, not for any other reason than to stage a scene of "girlfriend in the act," to thoroughly humiliate their rival and utterly trample her dignity into the mud!

Yan Yu rushed upstairs, and the two followed one after the other. Then, all sorts of chaotic noises came from the second floor, such as tables being overturned, cabinets being smashed, and bottles rolling around on the floor.

"This is outrageous." Su Yunjin frowned as she looked at the food on the table. "I worked so hard to cook this meal, and you don't even finish eating it? I'm going to go up and have a word with the captain."

She got up and went upstairs.

Xie Ruoxi remained silent, only continuing to eat. She was determined to have a larger meal back in her room later, so she had to at least pretend to have eaten a lot here to avoid arousing suspicion.

After eating a few bites of cucumber strips, she suddenly noticed Chen Lingyun looking at her with a smile, and immediately felt a little guilty.

"Um..." Xie Ruoxi stammered, "I've run out of snacks in my room, so I'll have to eat more for dinner, hahaha..."

Chen Lingyun smiled slightly and said:

"It's okay if you can't finish it."

“You’re right,” Xie Ruoxi said stiffly. “Then I’m going back to my room to rest, hahahahaha…”

She hurriedly slipped away and went upstairs. Thinking of the delicious food hidden in the room, she couldn't help but swallow. Just as she was about to go back and sneak a bite, she remembered her promise to Zhao Yuanzhen.

Oh right, I promised to share it with Sister Zhao.

Xie Ruoxi tiptoed to the door of the room, only to hear the people inside still fighting, with muffled punches and suppressed screams coming from all directions.

Sigh, although Sister Hongyu has a strong personality, she's not a bad person. Sister Zhao doesn't need to fall out with her. If things end up with both sides hurting each other, and other bad women take advantage of the situation, wouldn't that be like a clam caught in the middle, only to benefit the fisherman?
Thinking of this, Xie Ruoxi raised her hand and knocked on the door, determined to persuade Zhao Yuanzhen to prioritize harmony.

After knocking for a while, there was no response from inside. They had probably completely broken off relations and were in the middle of a fierce fight, so they didn't notice me knocking. So Xie Ruoxi went through the wall and said.
"Alright, stop fighting. There's no point in fighting like this..."

Ok?
what……

Oops!

Xie Ruoxi hurriedly turned to leave, but a large hand tightly grabbed her shoulder, and a burning, evil gaze came from behind her head.

Humph, want to escape?
"No!!" Xie Ruoxi's scream came from upstairs.

Chen Lingyun ignored him and continued eating the food on the table.

Although she was very interested in participating in the war, she also knew that Yan Yu had already been conserving his strength and that it was not necessary to confront him directly at this time, lest she suffer the consequences.

Let others test his fighting spirit!
She was slowly sipping her soup when suddenly her phone rang.

Beijing local? That's a rare visitor. Why are you calling me? "Hello?"

"Chen Lingyun, why can't we get through to Lao Yan's phone?" Liu Longtao asked from the other end of the line.

"Oh." Chen Lingyun turned her gaze and saw Yan Yu's phone screen down, placed next to his table. "He didn't bring his phone with him."

"What is he doing?"

"He is fighting."

"Look, I'm fighting too," Liu Longtao chuckled. "I've been fighting for a long time."

"How long?" Chen Lingyun became interested. "What, is there still an enemy that Young Master Liu can't handle?"

"It's impossible for Young Master Liu to beat a ninth-grade student who's preparing for the high school entrance exam when he's only in the first year of junior high," Liu Longtao sighed.

"Hehe." Chen Lingyun instantly understood what the other person was implying, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if you can't come back, you can use the clothes from your home. There are still plenty of empty seats over at Lugushan."

"I'm not even dead yet, and you're already thinking about building a cenotaph for me?" Liu Longtao said irritably. "Chen Lingyun, I really can't get along with you. Only Old Yan can tame you."

“Listen carefully. The reason why Yamata no Orochi has not been discovered is because it does not exist in the form of a monster. It can divide into eight incarnations and disguise itself as humans, lurking in secular society and devouring mortals. The ocean cannot stop them, and it is estimated that they have now spread to the world.”

Chen Lingyun stopped laughing, and the voice on the other end also stopped abruptly.

After a while, looking bored, she picked up her phone and asked:

"died?"

"No, not yet." Jingye's voice rang out again, "He won't die, but I feel like he might not come back."

"Hmm, sealed away?"

"Maybe, I didn't understand their methods." Master Jing continued, "If I don't return within a week, tell He Ye not to worry, and have Lao Yan come to Kyoto to look for me again."

"Fine, I'll say you're dead," Chen Lingyun said with a smile. "Tell He Ye to accept her fate and remarry as soon as possible."

"How dare you!" Liu Longtao finally snapped. "I'm right here on the front lines, serving my country loyally, and you're back here sending me breakup letters, huh?"

“I’ve always been this way,” Chen Lingyun said slowly. “If you don’t want to be framed and harmed by me, then don’t die so easily.”

"...Of course, how could I possibly die?" Master Jing hung up the phone.

Chen Lingyun picked up her chopsticks again and ate most of the food on the table until the noise above her head had completely stopped. Then she took out a napkin to wipe her mouth and went up to the second floor with the help of the stairs.

Inside the room, in front of the scattered "corpses" of the defeated, Yan Yu struck a pose like a thinker, sitting alone on the edge of the bed with one hand supporting his chin, seemingly contemplating the meaning of life and the truth of the universe.

"Setting up a scaffold again?" Chen Lingyun chuckled. "Master Jing is in trouble."

"He's dead?" Yan Yu put on his clothes, stood up with a spirited air, like a boxing champion who had just won a match.

"They said they wouldn't be coming back," Chen Lingyun said calmly.

"Hmm." A cold glint flashed in Yan Yu's eyes. "So he married a woman from the Sakura Empire, betrayed his country, abandoned his wife, and has no intention of returning?"

"Your imagination is quite vivid." Chen Lingyun laughed heartily, and after a while explained, "No, it's probably because you're trapped. I called you earlier, but you didn't answer."

"My phone is downstairs." Yan Yu patted his pocket.

"So they came to me," Chen Lingyun continued, "and at the last minute, I gave them some information about the Yamata no Orochi."

"What information?"

"I didn't ask any more questions. The gist of it was that the Yamata no Orochi didn't remain entirely in Sakura Empire; its incarnations have spread throughout the world and gone into hiding."

"Shouldn't we have asked for detailed information about this kind of matter concerning all of humanity?" Yan Yu exclaimed in disbelief. "Can't you be a little more reliable at crucial moments?"

"It's not convenient to ask."

"Why can't I ask? Did you sew up your lips?" Yan Yu said sarcastically.

"Because he hung up the phone before I even asked," Chen Lingyun said truthfully.

Yan Yu: ………………

"That useless Lord Jing!" He immediately changed his tune. "With such pathetic strength, what's the point of his infiltration behind enemy lines? Now look what's happened, even the intelligence he's sending back is incomplete. How are we supposed to rescue him?"

“We can choose not to save him,” Chen Lingyun said deliberately.

“Sigh.” Yan Yu shook his head. “Although he is really useless, I can’t just sit idly by. If I don’t save him, no one else can.”

"After all, I am the number one cultivator in the Lu Kingdom."
