Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 806 This is the technical flow
After observing for several days, Mei Yingxue finally confirmed that Li Minghu's health was not seriously affected.

The only risk is that her new body is too strong and active, causing many bodily instincts to be amplified to an extreme degree. For example, appetite, drowsiness, and so on…

Fortunately, in order to prevent the invasion of inner demons, the Lu Kingdom has now developed a complete set of mature theories on brain-sealing techniques—more precisely, a self-intervention plan that allows cultivators to quickly adjust their mental state and prevent excessive emotional fluctuations.

For those with a carefree personality, such as the food-loving duo, this approach has limited effectiveness. However, it can be quite effective for calm and collected individuals like Li Minghu.

"Speaking of which, you should be undergoing your tribulation soon, right?" Yan Yu asked casually after reading Li Minghu's research report on his phone.

"I don't have time," Ye Yun sighed. "There are too many things to do."

"If I remember correctly, you should only be a formation master, right?" Yan Yu frowned and asked, puzzled, "Why are you studying the human body again?"

"Because many fields related to cultivation require cultivators to explore and research them," Ye Yun shrugged helplessly and explained. "Mortal researchers can't help in this area, and there are very few cultivators who are capable and willing to do research, so I have to take on multiple roles."

She hesitated for a long time at the cafeteria window before finally choosing a steamer of freshly steamed hot buns.

“It’s not like you have to do whatever the higher-ups tell you to do.” Yan Yu followed behind her, getting himself some sesame seed cakes and fried dough sticks. “Scientific research is beneficial to the entire Lu Kingdom, but it doesn’t help your own career at all. You should at least care about yourself.”

“That makes sense.” Ye Jun smiled slightly and readily agreed. “I will continue to do the work that I have already taken on, but I will not take on any new work.”

The two sat down at a window seat. The canteen was crowded, with few seats available, and many people were looking for a place to sit. However, no one was so ungrateful as to ask to share a table with them – after all, working at the Wudang Mountain base and not knowing Yan Yu and his girlfriends was considered a lack of political awareness and would result in punishment from superiors.

"There aren't many cultivators left who haven't undergone tribulation yet," Yan Yu said, chewing his fried dough stick indistinctly. "Let's hurry up, after all, resources for tribulation also require waiting in line. The sooner we form our core, the sooner we can have peace of mind."

"Hmm." Ye Jun wasn't in a hurry to eat, but just smiled. "After I reach the Core Formation stage, will you arrange for me to live in your big villa?"

“Of course, I have quite a few rooms in my villa,” Yan Yu immediately introduced. “There are still two guest rooms on the second floor that haven’t been allocated yet. One faces south and the other faces north—that is, the one you stayed in before. It has a balcony with a view of the Yangtze River, and the scenery is superb.”

"I want to stay in the room you're sleeping in," Ye Jun said.

Yan Yu feigned hesitation for a moment, then finally revealed a determined expression and deliberately said:
"Okay, I'll give you my current room, and I'll go stay in the one you used to stay in."

“Wrong.” Ye Jun held up one finger and said seriously, “I said, I want to stay in the room you’re sleeping in, provided you’re sleeping there.”

"This is a bit difficult," Yan Yu said hesitantly.

"Do I need to make an appointment in advance?" Ye Jun asked.

"I can't handle too many tenants," Yan Yu said.

"This is the first time I've realized that men can admit they 'can't handle it'," Ye Jun said with a smile.

Although her smile was playful and teasing, it was fundamentally different from Chen Lingyun's mockery. Chen Lingyun liked to wear a standard, bright, fake smile; although it didn't seem fake on the surface, you could sense that she was deliberately trying to amuse herself.

Ye Jun's smile was more teasing than condescending, so Yan Yu immediately responded:
"Even an iron ox can't plow ten acres of land continuously, but it's more than enough to deal with you."

"I don't believe it." Ye Jun rested her chin on her hand, her lips curving into a wider smile. "Do you want to go back and prove it to me?"

Yan Yu hesitated again.

He carefully observed the beautiful woman sitting opposite him and noticed that Ye Jun was not wearing her usual white lab coat, but instead a sleeveless white tank top, revealing her shapely and smooth shoulders. If his pupils continued to focus, he could see the pretty lace trim by looking deeper into the cuffs.

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was premeditated! Your gear is proof of that!

Ye Yun's fighting ability is neither strong nor weak; her aggression and skill are fairly even. The only downside is that she doesn't talk much throughout the fight—which is a good thing. Otherwise, if she suddenly started telling jokes halfway through a fight, the exciting atmosphere would be completely ruined.

Of course we can fight, but the problem is that Yan Yu is currently in a weakened state, almost destroyed by Li Minghu's unlimited cheats. He hasn't fully recovered his energy and spirit yet. Wouldn't it be a bit dangerous for him to face Ye Jun's challenge now?

"I was just kidding." Ye Jun chuckled, pulled her hair back and tied it into a ponytail with a hair tie. "Look at your cute little coward. I have an experiment this morning, so I don't have time to play alone with you."

Yan Yu was immediately annoyed. So, was he trying to harass me here?
Teasing in itself is fine, but this door cannot be opened only for Ye Jun. Otherwise, if she gets used to teasing, what if she infects the other girls after moving into the Yan family and they all turn into female hooligans?
"You said you had an experiment this morning?" Yan Yu asked.

“Yes.” Ye Jun started eating her steamed bun. “It’s a confidential project, so we can’t reveal the details.”

"No matter how much you try to keep it a secret, do you think I can't find out?" Yan Yu said dismissively. "I'll just ask Chen Tianming, Chen Lingyun's father. Do you think he'll tell me?"

"Yeah, that's true." Ye Yun swallowed the food in her mouth and mumbled, "It's related to teleportation, that's all you need to know."

Teleportation arrays were vaguely remembered being developed in my past life, but the success rate was found to be too low. For example, when teleporting a person to a target location, only half of their body would be transported. Such instability made them unsuitable for practical application, unlike magical artifacts like the "Hundred Lifetimes of the Mortal World Map," which were much more stable.

But Yan Yu couldn't tell Ye Yun, "I was reborn from my past life, I know this path is a dead end, don't try it anymore," so after thinking for a moment, he smiled and said:
"Let me tell you, I'm not a coward. Actually, I really wanted to prove it to you, but unfortunately you have an experiment this morning, tsk tsk, never mind then."

"You know I'm busy this morning, so you're just making up these big stories on purpose, aren't you?" Ye Yun pursed her lips slightly, her eyes flashing for a moment, before suddenly saying, "How about this afternoon?"

I'm not free this afternoon.

"What about tonight?"

"I'm not free tonight either," Yan Yu said. "I'll contact you again in a few days when I'm free."

"Hmph." Ye Jun ate another bun and suddenly said, "I've decided, I won't do the experiment this morning. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."

"Huh?" Yan Yu was stunned. "Wasn't this supposed to be a very important experiment? How could you skip it!"

“Originally, I wasn’t supposed to skip it,” Ye Yun said casually. “But someone just told me: It’s not like I have to do whatever the higher-ups tell me to do. Scientific research is beneficial to the whole of Lu, but it doesn’t help my future love life at all. If I don’t even love myself, how can I expect others to love me?”

This boomerang-like response came so quickly that Yan Yu couldn't think of anything to say. After a long pause, only one sentence remained in his mind: How can that be the same? "I'm full." Ye Yun picked up her plate and asked to confirm, "Are you coming or not? If you don't, it'll be considered that you're a coward."

For a man, the insult of "you chickened out" is second only to "how could you be so fast?", so Yan Yu was also forced into a corner and could only bite the bullet and say:

"Come on! Wait for me in the room!"

"I'm going to take a shower." Ye Jun turned and left gracefully.

Yan Yu slowly finished his sesame seed cake, already preparing his tactics in his mind.

When fighting different people, you naturally need to use different methods. Aiming at weaknesses can make all the difference, while trying to outdo each other in strengths will only increase losses.

Miss Ye doesn't have any other special characteristics, except that her patience is astonishing and her endurance is completely maxed out. Just like the true energy she has painstakingly honed by manipulating the Xuan Guang Ruler, it is long-lasting and stable. Even if she seals her mouth and holds her breath, she can hold it for half a day. She can be called the number one female ninja in terms of ninjutsu, and her defensive power is even stronger than Zhao Yuanzhen's attack power.

As we all know, defense is a form of offense, because you have to consider that the opponent has counter-attack capabilities. Being tough and durable until you break down is also part of the tactics.

So, are there any techniques to weaken the opponent's defense?

It really does.

Yan Yu has many techniques for applying debuffs to the enemy: such as "playing along" which he learned from Anna, "sweet talk" which he practiced with Yun Jin, and of course, "off-field tactics" which he learned from Chen Lingyun. He avoids head-on confrontations that result in mutual destruction and instead launches guerrilla harassment attacks from other places, which can be considered an application of the salami-slicing tactic.

He decided to try it on Comrade Ye later.

Upon entering Ye Jun's room, one would see her sitting on the edge of the bed in a bathrobe, holding a glass of red wine, exuding the air of a sophisticated urban socialite.

"Drinking so early in the morning?" Yan Yu sat down next to her.

"I've been working too much lately," Ye Yun said casually. "Even when I have some free time, my brain is still habitually working. I need a drink to give my brain a rest. You don't mind if I smell of alcohol on my breath, do you?"

"If you mind, can you not drink it?" Yan Yu teased her deliberately.

Ye Yun glared at him and said:

"If you mind, I'll feed you a bite too, then we'll be even."

"What should we feed them?" Yan Yu asked.

"Feed it however you want," Ye Yun replied readily.

We've already practiced dual cultivation, so why be so reserved and shy?

"Then I'll try it first." Yan Yu took the wine glass from her hand and took a sip.

Yes, it must be good wine.

“It was a gift from Master Jing.” Ye Yun studied his expression and said, “His family owns a winery in Miyun. They have a lot of wine stored in the cellar. Back then, the team would give everyone a few bottles during holidays. It’s said to be a good vintage wine, but I can’t tell the difference.”

“It’s okay, I can’t tell the difference either,” Yan Yu said. “But if you take a picture and post it on your WeChat Moments, I’m sure many knowledgeable people will explain it to you.”

"Let's forget about it." Ye Jun shook her head. "If people think I like to drink, countless people will be sending me alcohol during holidays."

“What you like isn’t the alcohol itself, but the reason you can rest legitimately after getting drunk,” Yan Yu said.

“Yes.” Ye Jun was slightly surprised, but quickly changed to a “you understand me” expression and said softly, “I am actually quite contradictory. When I’m not working, I desperately want to prove my worth; when I’m too busy to do anything else, I desperately want a reason to take a short break.”

"That's why you called me over this morning," Yan Yu said with a sudden realization, smiling. "I'm the reason you took the day off."

"No, actually..." Ye Jun seemed a little hesitant to speak, and after a long while said, "I don't want to be too sentimental, but I suddenly dreamed about you last night, and I missed you a little after waking up."

"Was it a dream about that kind of thing?" Yan Yu asked.

Ye Jun didn't speak, but simply placed her arms on his shoulders, around his neck, and whispered:
"I don't want you to think I'm a troublesome person."

“No,” Yan Yu said sincerely. “From the moment I advised you to leave the Longxiang team, I had already made up my mind. If you need someone to entrust the rest of your life to in the future, then at least I will always be here waiting for you.”

"So that's when you started having designs on me." Ye Jun's eyes widened slightly, she paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed again, her voice trembling with a hint of gratitude. "Why? You had so many wonderful girls around you, yet you still had your eye on an ordinary cultivator like me..."

“There’s no why.” Yan Yu quickly interrupted her. “If fate could be explained, it wouldn’t be fate.”

His answer was clearly an attempt to downplay the issue. After all, "willing to take on your life" sounds like a responsible act, but "willing to take on your and their lives" is a completely different matter.

Yan Yu interrupted her very quickly, preventing her from delving deeper into her thoughts and remaining only at the surface level of her emotional state. Ye Yun indeed fell for his trick; women in love are not good at rational analysis, and upon hearing this, she instinctively straightened her legs, her breathing becoming somewhat hot.
"Then prove to me... this fate you're talking about..."

Seeing her flushed face and watery eyes, Yan Yu knew she was already covered in debuffs. In this state, she'd be lucky to maintain 60% of her original defense; with a few more underhanded tactics, taking her down would be a piece of cake!

This is what technical expertise is all about!

"Okay, close your eyes first," Yan Yu said.

Ye Yun obediently closed her eyes, her lips slightly pursed, like a lamb to the slaughter, at the mercy of its master.

The sweet aroma of alcohol wafted towards us.
