Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 821 The Witch King's Script

"Old Yan, I heard that the Korean swordswoman girls all wear white, tight-fitting outfits, carry seven-foot-long swords, are skilled in battle and dance, and are all exceptionally beautiful!" Li Zhaojiang described vividly. "Amazing!"

"A sword immortal is a sword immortal, why does he also have to be able to sing and dance?" Lin Ning complained from the side, "Your focus is too weird!"

"What's so strange?" Yan Yu mocked without any hesitation. "It's the bottom."

"That's enough." Li Zhaojiang waved his hand dismissively. "She's not a girl from the Lu Kingdom, she's not within your hunting range, is she? You can't even help me with this?"

Yan Yu pondered for a moment, then transmitted his voice to Chen Lingyun:
“Li Zhaojiang is my brother-in-law, and also my brother. This favor of his isn’t really difficult. Even if it’s just out of respect for Minghu, I’ll help him if I can.”

"So how do I know if I can help?" Chen Lingyun asked with a smile.

"Ask them if they need anyone to clean the toilets," Yan Yu said.

"OK."

Chen Lingyun went to type on her phone. Li Zhaojiang, seeing this, said gratefully:

"Old Yan! No, brother-in-law, you really are my brother!"

"Don't be so polite, it'll mess up the seniority." Yan Yu quickly gestured for him to stop. "This is all I can do for you. Whether you can win the heart of that Korean girl is up to you."

"Of course," Li Zhaojiang said, patting his chest.

The two were boasting and gossiping to each other when Li Minghu, who was upstairs, came down after receiving the news.

"What's wrong?" she asked Li Zhaojiang in surprise. "What do you want with Lingyun?"

"Sister, I..." Li Zhaojiang was about to use sweet words when Lin Ning interrupted him, saying:

“He wants to pick up Korean girls and ask Lingyun to arrange for him to work in Tianjin and have creative opportunities.”

"Oh." Li Minghu pondered for a moment, then calmly said under his younger brother's extremely eager gaze, "You're not allowed to go."

"Sister!" Li Zhaojiang cried out in anguish, "This is your brother's lifelong happiness, please..."

"You're not allowed to go! You're not allowed to go!" Li Minghu snapped. "You have a girlfriend!"

"Who says you can only have one girlfriend!" Li Zhaojiang protested, "Look at Lao Yan!"

“Indeed,” Yan Yu suddenly said. “Why don’t we ask A Jiang’s girlfriend if she agrees to him finding a new girlfriend? If she agrees, then it’s a matter of mutual consent, and we really can’t interfere.”

"Okay." Li Minghu took out his phone. "I'll speak."

"Wait, sis!" Li Zhaojiang called out quickly, "No need, I'll talk to her myself..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Minghu had already sent a voice message.

A reply quickly appeared on the screen.

"She said she'll come over with her sword later and ask what you think," Li Minghu read aloud to the screen, word by word.

Li Zhaojiang's vision went black for a moment, as if he had lost his parents, and he hurriedly said to Yan Yu:

"Old Yan, I have other things to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer."

"It's alright, stay for a meal before you leave." Yan Yu grabbed his arm and said, "We haven't met your girlfriend yet, it would be good to bring her over to meet us."

"Yes, yes!" the girls said in unison, as if trying not to laugh. "Bring her over so we can meet her!"

Li Zhaojiang refused, shook off Yan Yu's hand, and hurriedly fled on his sword.

"Why does your brother seem a bit afraid of his wife?" Yan Yu quietly asked Li Minghu.

“I picked it out for him,” Li Minghu said calmly, “It’s specifically designed to counter his personality.”

Everyone was immediately filled with respect, thinking to themselves that Minghu, who usually seemed as gentle as a caring older sister, could be as ruthless as a knife when it came to doing things.

Who is Li Zhaojiang? A playboy, his playful nature is hard to control. Now that his sister has found him a girlfriend to keep him in check, he's like a tiger fallen into the plains, a dragon trapped in shallow waters—he'll probably never be able to make a name for himself again. Just look at how he acted earlier; you can tell he's probably only a junior colleague to his girlfriend. He's in for a rough time!

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Yan Yu in unison.

Although Yan Yu and Li Zhaojiang are good friends and seem to have the same carefree personality, they are actually completely different types.

Li Zhaojiang is a playful person who doesn't want to take responsibility. He'll pull up his pants and leave, changing girlfriends more often than sneakers. Yan Yu, on the other hand, is someone who wants to take responsibility once he gets involved, but his personality is as tough as steel, making it extremely difficult to change his mind.

If Yan Yu had the same easily swayed and weak character as Li Zhaojiang, she would have been firmly bound by either of them long ago, and the stalemate would not have continued to this point.

"Why are you all looking at me?" Yan Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Everyone immediately turned their gaze away, pretending that nothing had happened.

At this point, quitting is out of the question; we have no choice but to run this ultramarathon together. After all, if we quit halfway, all the sunk costs we've incurred so far will be tied up.

But if you persevere to the end, you'll at least be in an unassailable position. As for whether it's a moderate win, a big win, or a super big win, it depends on how many of your competitors can hold on—that's what involution is all about.

The more you roll, the more you win!

Yan Yu sensed that they seemed to be thinking about something unpleasant. However, girls' thoughts are often hard to fathom, so he didn't take it too seriously.

After lunch, some people went back to their rooms for a nap, while others kept an eye on Yan Yu, clearly having an extra "nap plan" and wanting to try and get it.

Yan Yu felt uneasy under their gazes, so he made an excuse to go for a walk and quickly slipped away.

This highlights Li Zhaojiang's advantage: he can maintain a relationship with only one girlfriend, giving him ample time. If he were to form a large family like Yan Yu, there would naturally be insufficient time to meet everyone's needs.

What if that's not enough? That would bring up another problem: Is your body failing you?
If your health is failing, then why do you seek out so many women? This directly undermines the legality of the harem, and Yan Yu will absolutely not back down.

I'm perfectly healthy! I'm super capable, okay?
Sitting down in a rocking chair in the backyard of the villa, Yan Yu looked around to make sure no one was watching, then took out a pill, swallowed it, and began to refine its medicinal power.

Haha, once I'm back in top form, I'll send you all to heaven!
Just as I was concentrating on recovering my energy, I suddenly received another call; it was from Old Li.

"Yan Yu," Li Weiguo asked directly as soon as the call connected, "Are you free lately?"

“Yes,” Yan Yu said in surprise. “I haven’t been on duty since the Gonggong Project ended. If there are any tasks from above, just assign them to me directly. There’s no need to ask if I’m available. That’s too formal.” “Ah, this time it’s not official business,” Li Weiguo explained. “A foreign friend just wants to visit you.”

"Foreign friends? Who are they..." Before Yan Yu could finish speaking, he had already guessed the answer in his mind.

“You’re aware of the situation in the North,” Li Weiguo continued. “If she comes through the official channels, it will be a formal meeting between the two sides, and many things will have to be done.”

The implication is that if Anna were to secretly travel incognito, she would have more freedom to manage her time, and you would have more time to nurture your relationship.

Maintaining the relationship...

Yan Yu suddenly woke up! Zhao Yuanzhen, Zhou Hongyu, and Anna, the three Heavenly Kings, are coming to reunite!
Among the ten people in the Yan residence, the top three in terms of combat strength are undoubtedly Zhao, Zhou, and An.

Each of them was exceptionally well-built, and each of them was incredibly hungry, like lions, tigers, and bears from the world of wild beasts. Any one of them alone would be a formidable enemy that Yan Yu would have to deal with with all his might!
If the three of them join forces, they will have the fighting power of four Ning, which is terrifying!
Next are Ye Yun, Li Minghu, and Lin Ning. They either lack the fighting spirit or their physical condition is slightly inferior to the top three, but their combat power fluctuates around 1 Ning's level. They are also formidable opponents that should not be underestimated.

Finally, there are Su Yunjin, Tang Xiaolian, Xie Ruoxi, and Chen Lingyun, four weaklings who would collapse at the slightest touch and are not worth worrying about.

Yan Yu's biggest fear was that Zhao Anzhou and the other two would join forces and push him close to his combat limits. In that situation, if someone else joined the battle, he feared he would be completely drained of his vital energy and beaten to his knees, utterly powerless, by their combined attack!

A quick thought revealed that the situation was extremely unfavorable to me, and I needed to adopt a strategy of attacking from the bottom up.

The story of Tian Ji's horse race emphasizes strategic planning and meticulous calculation. Zhao Anzhou and Zhou are in the "super-large" cup, so they need to team up with Ye Lilin in the "large" cup, and then add Su, Chen, Tang, and Xie in the "medium" cup. By forming groups of four in each group, with both large and medium cups, and ensuring that the timing is staggered, they can remain invincible.

Trying to handle three extra-large cups at once is likely to cause problems!
Yan Yu immediately decided to arrange to meet Anna first.

"Wife, I heard you've come to Lu Country? Should I come pick you up?" He sent Anna a message, every word brimming with cunning.

The phrase "I'm coming to pick you up" sounds like "I'm abandoning the unimportant ones to pick up the most important one," but in reality, it's about creating a time difference and defeating Anna first, so that she won't join forces with Zhou Hongyu and Zhao Yuanzhen to attack him.

Anna was overjoyed and replied:
"No need, I'll come find you."

"That won't do!" Yan Yu immediately sent a message, "It's been too long since I've seen you, I can't wait a moment longer! Tell me where you are right now!"

The other side sent me an address.

Jianghai Grand Opera House?

“If you head to Jianghai now, you’ll arrive around the same time as me,” Anna continued typing. “Let’s meet here.”

No wonder he's someone who's lived abroad for so long; he's been influenced by the bourgeois aesthetics of the Western world.

Fine, I'll go along with her then.

Yan Yu immediately took off on his sword, sending messages to the girls along the way, saying that he had to go out temporarily to take care of some business and that they didn't need to worry about him.

Send a message! Open group settings! Do not send notifications for group messages! The three operations are performed in one smooth and skillful motion.

Upon arriving in Jianghai City, Yan Yu realized that he hadn't had time to disguise himself, as he wasn't wearing a mask or sunglasses. So he simply went into hiding and waited at the entrance of the Grand Theater.

He waited and waited, and since he was invisible and no one could see him, just as Yan Yu was wondering if Anna hadn't seen him and had gone inside, someone suddenly patted him on the back from behind.

"Why are you sneaking around here like a cat?" Anna asked with a smile.

Yan Yu turned around and looked her over.

It's been a while since we last saw her, and Anna's appearance and aura are now almost identical to those of the Eclipse Queen from her previous life:

On the surface, she is a combination of maturity, confidence, and strength, but upon closer examination, one can perceive a hidden domineering, alluring, and sinister side beneath.

Like a witch in a fairy tale, who would use mysterious dark magic to concoct a bewitching potion to steal the sanity of her beloved—that's the kind of alluring yet terrifying feeling.

"Don't make your movements too obvious," Yan Yu quickly advised her. "I came straight here as soon as I received your message. I was in such a hurry that I realized I forgot my sunglasses and mask. If the public recognizes me, it'll be all over the news."

His statement also has a historical allusion, similar to the "welcoming with shoes turned upside down" in the Jin Dynasty, implying "I really want to see you".

Anna was overjoyed, but smiled and said:

Do you know why I asked you to come here?

“To see an opera,” Yan Yu replied. “Isn’t that right?”

“Yes and no,” Anna said. “To be precise, it’s the opera I wrote.”

She didn't come alone this time; she brought the Amur Opera Company with her. Sixteen beautiful young men and women from the North had rehearsed her script to perfection before her departure—of course, a revised version.

After all, the original version was far too violent.

The North hoped that the Kingdom of Lu could arrange a performance as a trial run, and the Kingdom of Lu readily agreed. The quality of the script was not actually a concern; what mattered was that the playwright was the Lord of the North and the Witch Queen.

Even if the script itself is utterly clichéd, as long as it wins the favor of the heads of state of friendly nations, what price has China paid? Costs are hardly a consideration.

Yan Yu glanced at the poster at the opera house entrance and could roughly determine that it told a love story. Looking at the flow of people entering the theater, he noticed it was surprisingly nearly full.

"Are you planning to switch careers and become a playwright?" he asked in surprise.

"Well, it's just something I did in my spare time to cultivate my mind," Anna said very modestly. "It's just a humble work. I never expected it to be so popular in Lu Country. It's really beyond my expectations."

Yan Yu chuckled inwardly. Knowing you were coming, Lu Guo would have filled every seat in this match, even if he had to mobilize his own staff!

Sitting on the throne of the Lord of the North, power naturally extracts enough emotional value from those around her, even if she herself is completely unaware of it.

The two walked inside side by side. Based on their tickets, they found a relatively secluded spot in a corner at the back and sat down hand in hand.

As the overhead lights dimmed, Anna nudged Yan Yu with her elbow and whispered:

"Alright, now no one can see you clearly."

Yan Yu then deactivated his invisibility spell and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When entering the theater invisible, one had to constantly make sure not to bump into pedestrians, since they couldn't see you, which was quite troublesome.

The next second, Anna's lips were on his.

The Witch King's kiss, mingled with the fragrance of strange lipstick and a hint of sweetness, momentarily captivated Yan Yu.
