Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 807 Teacher Mei is also part of our PLAY.

One side raises one person.

Yan Yu's understanding of this proverb has deepened.

Even though they both come from middle-class backgrounds, the girls from Tianjin in the north and the girls from Xinjiang in the southwest will definitely have different personalities in many ways.

Take Tang Xiaolian as an example. She has a loud and boisterous personality. If you poke her, even if you only use a fraction of your strength, she can scream as if she's on the verge of death, sometimes making Yan Yu wonder if he really went too far.

But what about Ye Jun? Sorry, even if you show no mercy and are ruthless, I will silently endure it and remain silent.

But to be honest, the less she talked, the more likely she was to pique Yan Yu's interest.

It's like a leaf hanging low from a high tree; if I could easily reach it by jumping up, that's no fun. But if I could almost touch it by jumping up, just a little bit short... then sorry, I'm determined to reach it today!

Ye Yun was like that leaf. Even if she said, "I need to rest a bit," Master Yan, who was massaging her, would have an excuse: "Then let's take a break."

But not only did she remain silent, she even played on her phone in the middle of it, looking at the messages that Teacher Mei sent her, which almost made Yan Yu angry.

Today I'm going to use every trick in the book to teach you a lesson!
Ye Yun was actually quite helpless; she had no intention of provoking Yan Yu. Hadn't she already mentioned that there was a very important scientific experiment this morning?

Then she skipped it.

If someone skips an experiment for no reason, given Professor Mei's personality, she'll definitely come and ask about it. She needs to think carefully about how to respond—she absolutely doesn't mean to look down on Master Yan's skills.

Asking for leave is actually a skill. First, you must have a sufficient reason that makes your boss feel that "this leave is really necessary." Second, it is best to provide strong supporting evidence, because bosses are often fooled by various reasons for taking leave. They may not actually believe your explanation, but even if they don't say it, it will still affect their perception and evaluation.

Ye Yun definitely couldn't tell Mei Yingxue, "I'm practicing yoga with Yan Yu! It's so much fun!" Then, given Mei's personality, she would definitely ask her, "Which is more important, yoga or the experiment?"

Nonsense, yoga is definitely more important! Research projects can be done anytime; you can skip one today and continue tomorrow. Yan Yu is different. If you don't win him over today, he'll be gone when you want to make your move tomorrow…

She has nine boyfriends!
These were things that couldn't be mentioned to Mei Yingxue, so Ye Jun quickly came up with an excuse:
Practice.

There's a term among officially trained cultivators called "doing private work," which refers to ordinary cultivators who discover secret realms but are unable to conquer them, so they ask officially trained cultivators for help, with everyone splitting the profits afterward. The authorities usually don't interfere much with cultivation techniques obtained through such private work, lest ordinary cultivators fear being controlled and dare not cooperate with officially trained cultivators, ultimately lowering the development rate of secret realms within the country.

Thanks to this unwritten rule, as long as Ye Yun said that he was practicing martial arts, Mei Yingxue could not ask what kind of martial arts it was, let alone why he had to practice it in the morning, or why he couldn't practice it in the afternoon or tomorrow... Asking so many questions, are you trying to find out the details of my martial arts?

Ye Yun gritted her teeth and endured the pain while typing the message with trembling hands. Just as she was about to send it, Teacher Mei called.

How could this possibly connect?! Ye Jun quickly pressed hang-up and was about to press send again when her body suddenly swayed and her phone fell.

She quickly picked up her phone and pressed send again, but then Teacher Mei called again...

"Why don't you answer it?" Yan Yu suggested from behind. "Keep calling, maybe there's something that can only be explained over the phone."

Ye Yun finally couldn't hold back anymore and turned around to glare fiercely at Yan Yu.

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!

Yan Yu was clearly not intimidated by such looks; on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it even more.

Left with no other choice, Ye Jun answered the phone and whispered:
"Hey."

"Why didn't you come this morning?" In the lab, Mei Yingxue asked bluntly, "Do you know how important this experiment is?"

"I'm practicing my martial arts," Ye Yun said softly.

"Practice martial arts?" Mei Yingxue was clearly taken aback.

"Yes, practicing martial arts." Ye Jun tried her best to keep her voice from sounding strange.

Unfortunately, Ms. Mei had excellent hearing, and since she wasn't the type to think before she spoke, she asked directly:
"If it's for training purposes, then the experiment can be postponed. But your breathing is a bit disordered, is that alright?"

"No, no problem." Ye Yun quickly turned back again and gave Yan Yu a look.

Yan Yu immediately understood that this meant I shouldn't cause trouble.

Can I listen to her?
Ye Yun tightly covered the phone's microphone, only to hear Teacher Mei continuing her lecture on the other end, speaking to her in a serious tone:

"I shouldn't ask what kind of cultivation method you practice, and I have no intention of intruding on your privacy. But you must be careful not to overstep your bounds. Not all cultivation methods can be practiced casually. Some have too high a threshold, and forcing yourself to practice them can easily lead to qi deviation; some are inherently evil techniques, perhaps packaged as legitimate methods, but as you practice them, you'll find it increasingly wrong, and by then it will be too late to back out..."

I'm completely out of control now, I'm about to go mad!
Ye Jun couldn't hold back any longer and could only say in a voice that was almost distorted, "Thank you, I'll hang up now," before hurriedly hanging up the phone.

Yan Yu!

She turned around abruptly, her eyes filled with shame, anger, and rage.

How dare you bully me like that just now! I bet you're mentally prepared by now!

Facing Ye Yun, who had transformed into a tigress, Yan Yu showed no fear and burst into laughter.

If you were to cower and play the coward, I'm afraid you'd wear me down with a war of attrition. But by losing your temper and abandoning the city, you're precisely giving up your greatest advantage!
--------

One theory in evolution is that many organisms evolve to avoid competition because competition is detrimental to both sides.

Yan Yu had to admit that the same principle applied to this matter. Winning meant gaining face but losing substance; losing meant losing both face and substance. In the end, all he got was a "You're so amazing," which made one seriously question the true meaning of the whole thing.

Ye Yun didn't say "You're so amazing," something only Yun Jin or Xiao Lian would say. She simply nestled silently into Yan Yu's arms, closed her eyes, and leaned against him, her breathing gradually becoming steady.

“I want a wedding,” she suddenly said.

The timing was perfect, because Yan Yu couldn't possibly refuse her now, and her request itself wasn't unreasonable.

“Sure,” Yan Yu said. “It would be best if it were just you and me.”

Ye Jun fell into quiet contemplation.

She actually wanted her own relatives and friends to come, but then she thought, what about the man's relatives and friends?

They're definitely coming. Do the guy's girlfriends count? Of course they do!

In traditional weddings, the groom's family doesn't have "groom's girlfriends." But now, in this era of spiritual revival, all ethics and morality have to take a backseat. So, I have to choose between "a world for two" and "a world for twelve." Oh well, I'll definitely choose the world for two.

"Okay." Ye Yun made up her mind and agreed. "What's the specific location?"

"We can choose a secluded spot with beautiful scenery." Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no objections.

For him, having a wedding was actually irrelevant. Whether it was Ye Jun or anyone else, they couldn't possibly take half of his cultivation after the divorce, so whether or not he got married wasn't that important.

The important thing is to avoid a situation where someone marries a girl first and then is chased by others asking, "Why wasn't I the first one?" Everything in the household has an order; if everyone strives to be first, their married life will never be peaceful.

The couple's secret wedding was a way to eliminate this risk and was a preventative measure.

That being said, the reason Yan Yu was so cautious was because when he was with Chen Lingyun in his previous life, he had to be extremely careful every time he spoke to her. Back then, he was still an innocent novice who spoke without thinking and often fell into her verbal traps, leaving him embarrassed and speechless, and becoming a laughing stock.

What you sow in your past life, you reap in this one. If I hadn't been tormented and tortured by a woman as difficult as Chen Lingyun in my past life, I wouldn't be able to handle so many girls with such different personalities in this life.

Thank you, Chen Lingyun from my past life! We'll never meet again!
Ye Jun was unaware that so many thoughts had raced through his mind in that instant.

She was simply immersed in the fantasy and joy of her future wedding, and without realizing it, she hugged Yan Yu even tighter, as if she wanted to melt into his body.

Oh right, I still need to undergo tribulation and form my core!
Thinking about it carefully, he can't possibly have a wedding just for me. I still need to advance to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible, otherwise I won't have any confidence when I speak at home.

Thinking of this, Ye Yun, who hadn't prepared much recently due to being busy with work, suddenly rekindled her motivation to undergo the tribulation.

------------

"You want to undergo tribulation and form your core?" Mei Yingxue asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Ye Yun said, “We can’t keep dragging this on.”

“I support your goal of forming your core as soon as possible. You yourself said before that there was no rush.” Mei Yingxue pondered for a moment and then asked, “Was there a problem with your practice this morning?”

"I guess so." Ye Jun smiled sheepishly. "I'm really sorry to have to take leave at the last minute."

"It's alright," Mei Yingxue nodded and said. "The path of cultivation is ultimately a major event for every cultivator, and I understand."

A hint of hesitation crossed her face, as if she were considering whether or not to bring it up now. Of course, given Ms. Mei's personality, she would most likely end up bringing it up anyway.

“You should still cover up the marks on your neck,” Mei Yingxue said.

Ye Jun was taken aback at first, then quickly reached up and slashed her neck, injecting her True Essence of Mantra into it, instantly erasing all the rough marks left by Yan Yu.

"Is it Yan Yu?" Mei Yingxue asked.

"There's no one else, is there?" Realizing that Teacher Mei had already caught them, Ye Yun became nonchalant and admitted, "I'm not the kind of woman who would cheat."

"Hmm, you two signed a relationship agreement." Mei Yingxue said thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, "What's it like being in a relationship?"

"You haven't talked about it?" Ye Jun asked in surprise.

"No." Mei Yingxue shook her head. "I have too many important things to do. I don't have time to care about anything else."

“Then it’s hard for me to describe to you,” Ye Jun said with a smile. “This is like cultivation. If you are an ordinary person, no matter how detailed I describe the flow of true essence to you, you will not be able to experience the true feeling of cultivation.”

“I understand, this is what they mean by ‘you can’t know without experiencing it firsthand,’” Mei Yingxue said thoughtfully.

She seemed a little confused, but quickly stopped worrying about it. Because, as she had said before, "there are too many important things."

Perhaps one day, when the internal and external situation of Lu Kingdom stabilizes, Teacher Mei will have time to consider her own affairs.

But certainly not now.

After resting in the afternoon, Yan Yu went to see Li Minghu again in the evening to check on her condition.

Fighting was out of the question. Even an iron body couldn't withstand repeated bone-draining and marrow-sucking; this time, he was only concerned about Minghu's health.

"I'm fine now." Li Minghu invited him to sit by the window and then personally made him some tea.

Her movements were fluid and graceful, the spout spout gushing out a beautiful amber liquid that arced through the air before landing in an exquisite ceramic cup; the entire process was a delight to behold.

"When did you learn tea ceremony?" Yan Yu asked curiously.

“This is also part of self-psychological intervention,” Li Minghu said softly. “By utilizing the self-cultivation characteristics of the tea ceremony, we can construct sufficiently vivid memory images in our minds.”

"If I ever get emotional in the future, I can just imagine brewing tea like this in my mind and my thoughts will immediately calm down."

"Does this technique also work on inner demons?" Yan Yu immediately realized its value.

“It still depends on one’s own character,” Li Minghu said with a smile. “Teacher Mei said that if one’s Dao heart is not stable enough, for example, if one has a bad temper and is easily angered, then the inner demon will conjure up a hideous enemy, appear in the scene you imagine, and then pick up a teacup and throw the boiling tea in your face.”

"So this is just to help calm the mind." Yan Yu suddenly realized, "But if the mind is inherently difficult to control, this method won't be very effective."

"Yes." Li Minghu began to sip his tea.

While Tianjin cuisine is delicious and filling, Lingnan morning tea also has its unique flavor. However, Yan Yu has no appetite at the moment, so he will enjoy it for now.

"Have you contacted your brother?" Yan Yu asked.

“He came by this morning,” Li Minghu said with a gentle smile. “Knowing that you helped me solve my chronic illness, he even said he wanted to find a way to repay your kindness.”

"Forget about repaying a debt of gratitude. What kind of debt of gratitude would a grown man like him repay?" Yan Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "Tell him that I'm not the kind of guy who would hold a grudge over favors."

"That's what I said too," Li Minghu said, covering her mouth with a laugh. "My brother-in-law is family; how can you repay a debt of gratitude to your own family?"

Her eyes, full of smiles, shimmered with tears. And there was a barely perceptible touch of crimson, like a maple leaf fallen into an autumn mountain lake.
