Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 828 I Need to Vent My Anger
Zhao Yuanzhen finally got to eat at the time-honored restaurant she had been longing for.

At her strong suggestion, Ye Yun led the group and several envoys from the Pear Blossom Academy delegation to stroll around and dine in Tianjin.

Then I discovered that for some reason, many restaurants specializing in Korean cuisine had sprung up in Tianjin, serving fried chicken, barbecue, hot pot, soup rice, and more...

The female member of the delegation looked rather embarrassed, thinking to herself how hateful these people were. We've worked so hard and sacrificed so much on the front lines, not so you could easily flee with your wealth from the rear!
Park Changmin, however, was unconcerned. In his view, China was destined to become the "Mitch" of the Eastern world, and past successful experiences proved that the way to deal with the Mitch was not through confrontation, but through integration.

Don't forget, among the 56 ethnic groups in the country, there is also the Goryeo people.

The group sat cross-legged in the private room as a large copper pot was brought out, followed by plate after plate of beef rolls.

“This copper pot doesn’t need water or oil. You can put the beef directly on the copper surface to grill.” Lee Soo-eun spread out the beef roll with chopsticks and explained softly, “So the heat is very important. If you cook it for too long, it will burn… Okay.”

She wanted to give the beef to Yan Yu, but Yan Yu was surrounded by Ye Yun, Su Yunjin and Zhao Yuanzhen, sitting across from her at the table.

If he doesn't get up, his arm won't reach him.

So Li Xiuen stood up with a charming smile, protecting the hot beef with her left hand, intending to hand it to Yan Yu.

Before her arm could even reach halfway across the table, another pair of chopsticks suddenly reached out diagonally and deftly snatched the beef she had placed on Yan Yu's plate.

"Thank you." Zhao Yuanzhen stuffed the beef into his mouth and chewed indistinctly, saying, "It tastes pretty good."

Park Changmin saw this and sighed inwardly.

It's not surprising that these female cultivators were so wary of Yan Yu, since it was obviously impossible for a foreign woman to be by the side of a Lu Kingdom general.

But if you lower your expectations to a secret, shameful mistress, that's a different story.

The sheer number of women surrounding Yan Yu proves his robust physique and insatiable desires. If a beautiful woman is willing to be his mistress, especially in a clandestine relationship without any official recognition, then Yan Yu doesn't need to worry about the attitudes of the upper echelons of the Lu Kingdom or those around him; he only needs to be responsible for his own desires.

Anyway, no one will know if I do it!

Unfortunately, it seems that Lee Soo-eun and Kim Min-eun did not manage to win over Yan Yu—they were already the most beautiful and best-figured girls in the delegation.

In that case, others will have even less of a chance.

Park Changmin's heart sank, but he quickly put on a smile and warmly toasted and served tea to Yeon Yu.

Su Yunjin sat next to Yan Yu, slowly scooping out the enoki mushrooms from the copper pot and placing them on top of the rice to fry in oil.

She ate carefully while quietly observing from the sidelines.

Even now, Yan Yu has not shown any other intentions towards these Goryeo swordswoman girls; it seems that it is purely wishful thinking on their part.

While secretly relieved, Su Yunjin was also somewhat curious. From a fair and objective standpoint, the two girls opposite her were actually quite attractive.

Is the captain truly unmoved? Or is it just that he's too shy to show it because we're right next to him?

“I think he’s genuinely not interested.” Ye Jun seemed to have read her thoughts and suddenly transmitted her voice, “Now everyone knows that his criteria for choosing a partner are only three: beautiful, a female cultivator, and powerful enough.”

"These Korean female swordsmen are neither cultivators nor powerful; they are merely beautiful. Beautiful girls are everywhere. If he were willing to hold a public selection of concubines, the line of people volunteering would surround the entire Tianjin city."

“Being pretty alone is definitely not enough,” Su Yunjin replied. “Besides, it’s still unclear whether their beauty comes from genes or cosmetic surgery. The captain might mind that.”

“Indeed,” Ye Jun said seriously. “After all, his genes are excellent, and he absolutely cannot be paired with inferior genes, lest it hinder the cultivation aptitude of his offspring.”

Pfft. Su Yunjin couldn't help but cover her mouth, almost bursting out laughing.

Yan Yu's cultivation aptitude is no secret now. One could even speculate that his emphasis on "being strong enough" in choosing a spouse might be partly due to a desire to improve the cultivation aptitude of his offspring.

After all, if he were to have offspring with a female cultivator of mediocre talent, it's uncertain whether they would even reach the cultivation threshold.

However, even if Yan Yu did have the consideration of "choosing a mother for the child" in mind, Su Yunjin still did not mind being his wife.

He needs me, and I love him; as long as we can be together, that's enough.

Su Yunjin quickly made up her mind that it didn't matter what Yan Yu's attitude was towards these Korean female swordsmen.

Her bottom line on this matter is that no new "unfamiliar sisters" should move into the villa. Just dealing with and maintaining relationships with the existing sisters is already exhausting her.

Ye Yun silently ate her beef. Her attitude was actually more open-minded than Su Yunjin's: as long as she could hold her position next to Yan Yu, that was enough.

As for whether others will join in, she has no power to interfere, and she's too lazy to care.

The passive attitude displayed by the two women undoubtedly displeased Zhao Yuanzhen, who was fighting alone. She glared with her beautiful eyes, a silent anger looming between Yan Yu and the female member of the delegation, like a lioness guarding her prey from being snatched away by hyenas.

Zhao Yuanzhen considered it perfectly reasonable for Yan Yu to keep his distance from these foreign girls, so her hostility was directed more towards the other side.

Lee Soo-eun and Kim Min-eun inwardly groaned. Yan Yu had never been interested in them to begin with. They had managed some interaction when discussing swordsmanship earlier, but now that they were away from the training ground, they basically had nothing in common to talk about.

Even when the two tried to initiate a conversation, Zhao Yuanzhen rudely intercepted them, giving them absolutely no chance.

Li Zhaojiang, sitting between the two, was overjoyed at the sight:

Haha, Lao Yan is completely controlled by his three wives, Xiu En and Min En are mine!

He attentively served food to the two girls, occasionally telling a few lame jokes. Then, when everyone hadn't caught the joke and looked confused, he would reveal exactly what was funny about it.

Both girls had a bit of a headache dealing with Li Zhaojiang.

In fact, if they couldn't win Yan Yu's heart, the important figures in Pear Blossom Courtyard wouldn't mind if they tried to seduce other powerful cultivators, such as Liu Longtao, who wasn't even here. But Li Zhaojiang was definitely out of the question, because Pear Blossom Courtyard had already thoroughly investigated his past romantic history. He was a playboy who changed lovers faster than he changed clothes, and trying to seduce him would be like sending lambs to the tiger's mouth—it wouldn't bring him any benefit whatsoever.

If she could take things a step further and officially become his girlfriend, or even his wife, then this deal would be barely worthwhile. But Li Zhaojiang already has a girlfriend, and it seems that the Annamese army is behind it... If she can't do anything about it, then it's pointless.

Neither of the girls intended to have a casual relationship with Li Zhaojiang, but they couldn't directly reject him to avoid embarrassing him. Therefore, they could only resort to the goddess's special tactic for simps: "flying a kite."
They distance themselves from those they get close to, and offer them sweet treats when they keep their distance. The poor brother-in-law was completely manipulated by them, oblivious and even enjoying it.

Yan Yu felt a little reluctant, thinking to himself that it was a good thing Minghu wasn't here, otherwise he would have been furious with his foolish younger brother.

He wanted to remind Li Zhaojiang that the other person didn't like him at all, and was just playing games with him and keeping him hanging on! But noticing the unfriendly expression on the woman's face next to him, he immediately suppressed the thought.

Forget it, let's not bother. If that vixen thinks I'm interested in those two girls, I'm doomed.

The group ate, drank, chatted, and laughed, creating a lively atmosphere.

Although he couldn't get the girl into Yan Yu's bed, the purpose of his trip was to build a relationship with him, so Park Changmin simply put aside his reserve, kept offering toasts, and made witty remarks, drawing everyone's attention.

He first mentioned that he had his first encounter with Yan Yu in the secret realm of Changbai Mountain, where he unfortunately lost;
Then he praised Yan Yu's strength, expressing his admiration and worship, without showing any sign of being unwilling to admit defeat;
Finally, he insisted that although he was the sword god of Goryeo, he was "nothing more than a junior student" in front of the general of Lu Kingdom, and that he still had to learn more from Yan Yu and ask him for advice often.

His words were so beautifully spoken that they deeply moved the women in the delegation.

Changmin's position in Ewhawon was undoubtedly that of the top student. How proud and glorious he was in the past! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he valued honor more than life!
Now, in order to forge an alliance with the Kingdom of Lu, he is even willing to submit to a subordinate position. In this era of widespread prosperity, his unwavering loyalty to his country is all the more commendable, truly deserving of the honor of "God of Swords of Goryeo"!

We can't let Changmin oppa suffer alone!

The girls tried their best to make the atmosphere more lively and interesting with their laughter and jokes.

Li Zhaojiang was overjoyed, thinking to himself that Lao Yan was controlled by his three wives and dared not make any rash moves. Now that the girls were all happy, they must have been infected by his outstanding personal charm!

Haha, I'm going to have a lucky streak with girls tonight!

After returning to the embassy, ​​everyone went to their rooms to rest.

Not long after, a confident Li Zhaojiang brought his props and knocked on Li Xiuen's door.

no respond.

He wanted to go through the wall to take a look, but he was afraid of scaring people and causing a diplomatic incident, so he could only turn around and go to Kim Min-eun's room door and knock on the door again.

Still no response.

Wait a minute, I personally drove them back before!
Confused, Li Zhaojiang stood guard at the door, unaware that Li Xiuen and Jin Minen had finished touching up their makeup in the room a few minutes earlier and had come to Yan Yu's door together to knock on it.

One last gamble!
After waiting for a long time without receiving a response from Yan Yu inside, the two girls simply stood guard at the door.

Even if they reject us outright, they should at least give us an explanation so we can give up!
Little did they know that Yan Yu had been dragged into Zhao Yuanzhen's room more than ten minutes earlier.

"Speak!" She pinned Yan Yu against the wall. "What exactly is your relationship with those two women?"

"Didn't I arrive here with you?" Yan Yu was completely baffled and pushed her hard. "I didn't know them at all before."

"You dare push me again?" Zhao Yuanzhen pressed Yan Yu against the wall again, pinning him down tightly.

"Alright, Sister Zhao," Su Yunjin came over to persuade, "The captain didn't do anything to wrong us."

“It looks like they’re the ones pursuing Yan Yu one-sidedly,” Ye Yun, sitting on the edge of the bed, chimed in. “It’s easy for a woman to pursue a man. If Yan Yu had even the slightest interest in them, things would have been settled long ago, and we couldn’t have stopped him.”

"He wouldn't dare!" Zhao Yuanzhen immediately became furious, then turned and glared at Yan Yu. "You wouldn't dare!"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Yan Yu sneered. "To be honest, I had no feelings for them whatsoever, but if you threaten me with this, I might just do it for you."

He pushed the demoness away and turned to leave, but Su Yunjin quickly grabbed him, trying to smooth things over by saying, "Sister Zhao didn't mean that," and also urging Zhao Yuanzhen to swallow her pride and give him a way out.

Zhao Yuanzhen was also furious, but beneath her rage lay panic. She knew that there was no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days, only to be a thief for a thousand days.

If Yan Yu really had such thoughts, he could just pick a day to go out on duty and secretly run off to meet his two mistresses. Who could stop him?
The charge of having illicit relationships is only useful for getting rid of unlucky guys who lost in battle; it has absolutely no effect on a cultivator of Yan Yu's level! Even if the matter were exposed, the Privy Council would just turn a blind eye, while the Pear Blossom Courtyard would probably be eager to send over even more women!

Realizing the crux of the matter, Zhao Yuanzhen quickly softened his stance, stammering as he said:

“I’m not threatening you, I’m just concerned about your health. You’re already tired enough taking care of us all, I’m afraid you might get carried away and pick some wildflowers or weeds, which could damage your vital essence, and then we’ll have to help you figure out what to do.”

Yan Yu merely sneered and remained silent, then turned and sat down on the edge of the bed.

To be honest, he wasn't really interested in those two Korean girls, because his tastes had long been spoiled by his wives—they weren't as good as Zhao Yuanzhen in terms of figure, probably not as patient as Ye Yun, and their personalities were definitely not as gentle as Yun Jin's. If it weren't for their status as envoys, he would find even playing along boring!
Seeing that he was still angry, Su Yunjin quickly gave Zhao Yuanzhen a wink.

Zhao Yuanzhen immediately sat on Yan Yu's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said in a sweet voice:
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't worry about them tonight. Yun Jin, Ye Yun, and I will all stay with you. Do whatever you want, okay?"

"Hey, that's not fair!" Ye Jun laughed and scolded from the side, "Yuan Zhen, you're the one who angered him, and now you want me to help you apologize to him? What's the meaning of this?"

"If you don't want to come, then don't come!" Zhao Yuanzhen retorted. "When I'm too tired to go on, you'll be in charge of pushing me from behind!"

"Don't say such crude things!" Su Yunjin said, a little embarrassed. "We're all sisters, what's there to worry about whether to back down or stick out? The captain isn't angry, is he..."

“You’re wrong, Yun Jin,” Yan Yu immediately denied. “I’m very angry right now.”

"I need a good, satisfying battle to vent the anger in my chest!"

“You’re really venting your anger,” Ye Jun replied without hesitation.
