Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 830 I also want to confirm

Yan Yu sometimes felt like a diligent old farmer, busy every day turning over the soil in all sorts of fields.

Yan Yu really wanted to just throw down his hoe and quit, but then he thought about how the mud would sway him if he turned around and left.

The next morning, after getting up, Yan Yu washed his face in the bathroom and felt aches and pains in his back and waist. He thought to himself that this kind of work was really tiring.

Hoeing the fields at noon, sweat drips onto the soil beneath the crops!
After circulating the mantra around his body to relieve the soreness and pain in his muscles, Yan Yu left the room.

They hadn't gone far when Li Zhaojiang blocked their way in the corridor.

"Old Yan!" The brother-in-law looked haggard, clearly having not slept well last night. He grabbed Yan Yu's collar and said through gritted teeth, "Please tell me, you didn't spend the night with Xiu En and Min En last night!"

"Nonsense, how could that be?" Yan Yu shoved him away. "Do you think I'm like you? Having a girlfriend and still messing around outside..."

Li Zhaojiang thought about it and realized it made sense. Putting everyone else aside, his wife Zhao Yuanzhen, with her big breasts and long legs, was clearly not someone to be trifled with. She must have kept Old Yan up all night last night.

Oh my god, the more I think about it, the sadder I get. I couldn't get a date with Xiu En and Min En last night, so I was all alone in my room, while you were playing cards with three wives!
The more Li Zhaojiang thought about it, the more resentful he became. His gaze towards Yan Yu was filled with jealousy, and he wished he could directly transmigrate into Yan Yu's body and take his place!

"Take those two 'en's' with you later. I have important business to discuss with Park Changmin," Yan Yu instructed.

"Yes, sir!"

The utterly loyal Li Zhaojiang turned and left to find Li Xiu'en and Jin Min'en to carry out their mission. His brother-in-law's instructions were absolutely correct!

Lee Soo-eun and Kim Min-eun realized their mission had failed when they couldn't catch Yan Yu outside his door last night, so they stopped hoping for the best—further pursuit would only turn into relentless pestering and risk angering Yan Yu.

Since there's no need to use the honey trap anymore, there's naturally no need to pretend anymore, and there's no need to fawn over Li Zhaojiang.

Li Zhaojiang was confused and thought the two were upset because they had failed to win Yan Yu's heart.

Isn't that exactly the kind of thoughtful and warm-hearted man, Li Zhaojiang, who needs to step in and soothe their wounded hearts?

Li Zhaojiang became even more enthusiastic. In order to carry out the task assigned by his brother-in-law to the best of his ability, he decided to stick with the two girls all day and never leave them!

With the two girls no longer bothering him, Yan Yu called Park Changmin into the conference room alone and bluntly stated:
"Let's sign the agreement with Lu Guo as soon as possible. I know your concerns, but the general trend is hard to go against, and the later it is signed, the more disadvantageous it will be for you."

Park Changmin paused for a moment, then said:

Whether or not I sign is not up to me. My orders are to establish a relationship with you as much as possible.

"That makes things much easier, doesn't it?" Yan Yu said without hesitation. "Just report to Lihuayuan that you have successfully established a relationship with me, and my instructions to you are to sign the contract as soon as possible."

“Big brother… no, great god, Yan god, listen to me.” Park Changmin smiled bitterly, “It’s precisely because the terms of the contract drafted by the Lu Kingdom are too harsh that the higher-ups hope to go through your connections. After all, you won’t devour us until there’s nothing left, but the imperialists will.”

"How did this get into imperialism?" Although he knew it was impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on the conversation, Yan Yu still didn't leave any room for criticism and firmly denied it, saying, "It's just that both sides want to achieve a closer cooperative relationship, but some people on your side aren't mentally prepared yet."

"Don't forget your place, Comrade Park! You need to help us with some ideological work within your ranks!"

Park Changmin visibly trembled upon hearing the word "comrade," and stammered:

"I came here as the leader of the delegation. If I take this agreement back untouched, wouldn't my trip have been for nothing? If the higher-ups blame me, I'll be the one to take the blame!"

“That makes things even easier,” Yan Yu said without hesitation. “I’ll talk to the Privy Council and send you a revised contract with exorbitant demands. Then you can firmly refuse, argue your case, and finally persuade us to abandon our unreasonable demands and restore the original terms of the agreement. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?”

Park Changmin was utterly speechless. But then he thought about it again and realized it might actually work.

The giant serpent from Goryeo, which is ravaging the peninsula, is so powerful that, apart from the mainland, there is no other force in the world capable of dealing with it.

Since it concerned the fundamental interests of Pear Blossom Courtyard, no matter how excessive Lu Guo's demands were, they had no choice but to give in.

In other words, this agreement was actually indispensable.

If a more stringent agreement is drafted, the expectations of those above can be lowered. It's common knowledge that even with the same work results, different expectations from superiors will lead to different final evaluations.

This method is very feasible! No, it should be said that it must be done! Otherwise, how can I demonstrate my diplomatic achievements?

"How about this?" Park Changmin suggested, "I'll argue with you on the grounds while simultaneously reporting that China's stance is very firm, leaving almost no room for negotiation. I'll suggest that the higher-ups sign the contract as soon as possible."

"If the higher-ups agree to sign the contract, then the matter will be over. If they don't agree, we'll just drag it out for now. As the domestic situation gradually deteriorates, you'll have a reason to make even more demanding demands."

"Then, through my tireless diplomatic efforts, you agreed to negotiate in accordance with the original terms of the agreement!"

Yan Yu was also dumbfounded. What a brilliant swordsman from Goryeo! He actually thought of delaying the inevitable and letting the domestic situation worsen, so he could justify offering us even harsher terms! You are truly loyal!

Wait a minute, if that's the case, it seems we don't necessarily need to sign the current agreement. Wouldn't it be more in our interest to stall for time and then come up with a more exploitative contract?

As if guessing what Yan Yu was thinking, Park Changmin quickly said:
"The terms can't be too harsh, otherwise I'll be doing nothing but trouble when I go back! The Lu Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, and compared to those trivial conditions, isn't my intelligence channel far more valuable?"

That's absolutely true. If it's about resources and land, Lu Guoda could simply abandon the matter and watch Pear Blossom Academy perish like the Yin-Yang Academy.

What the Lu Kingdom truly wanted was to build a new order and an alliance of interests. Therefore, even though the Southern Territory submitted, it only laid out the nodes of the Purple Cloud Array there, rather than forcibly expanding its territory.

From this perspective, retaining Park Changmin, a high-ranking intelligence officer, would allow for a deeper, more covert control over Ewha Womans University. No matter how harsh the contract terms, they cannot compare to his effectiveness.

“Of course.” Yan Yu readily agreed. “We will always remember Comrade Park’s great contributions to the country. Your achievements will not be forgotten, and we will do our best to help you consolidate your position.”

Park Changmin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He instinctively worried that Yeon Yu might make empty promises and then renege on them later.

But upon closer examination, given Yan Yu's current status and position, there is indeed no need for him to engage in those empty power plays and conspiracies—he could simply demonstrate his strength and force the issue; what kind of contract couldn't he sign?
"Okay!" He nodded vigorously. "Let's do it that way!"

The signing of the contract with Pear Blossom Courtyard was successfully completed, and Yan Yu once again perfectly accomplished his mission, leading the team home.

While promptly commending him, the Privy Council also realized that the value of this Lu Kingdom general was becoming increasingly precious.

As the spiritual energy resurgence deepens, the collapse of secular regimes seems to be a trend, with more and more national systems being replaced by supernatural forces.

Under the influence of this trend, any power will place more trust in top-tier superhumans than in ordinary mortal bureaucrats, because no one can guarantee that the former will not one day seize power from the latter.

Yan Yu's extraordinary strength and lack of ambition make him a unique cultivator in this world, capable of helping the Lu Kingdom maximize its own value.

So, what methods should be used to deeply bind him?

Under the direction of the cabinet, the new legislation was quickly put into progress.

Simply put, it means granting certain "outstanding" cultivators the right to pardon minor offenses and seal their criminal records.

For example, crimes such as bigamy and disorderly conduct...

In conclusion, if Yan Yu were to organize any kind of mass marriage, then the legal obstacles have been completely removed.

As for the moral responsibilities at the societal level, there will naturally be people who will use the media to defend him fiercely—if he intends to.

Yan Yu has no intention of participating in a group marriage for the time being. Firstly, she respects everyone's wishes, as everyone would prefer to have a private wedding for two. Secondly, she finds it troublesome, because given their competitive nature, they would definitely have to figure out who went first and then get caught up in the boring question of "why am I after her?"

Let's put it off for now.

That same evening after returning to the villa, Zhou Hongyu and Tang Xiaolian came to visit.

"I heard you found two Korean lovers over there?" Zhou Hongyu asked with a hostile expression.

"You're deliberately acting tough to get information out of me, aren't you?" Yan Yu chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Has Ye Yun not informed you about my situation over there?"

"Don't touch me," Zhou Hongyu said angrily. "Xiao Lian, what do you think?"

"I think he's avoiding the real issues and refusing to answer the questions directly," Tang Xiaolian said with a grin. "Hurry up and tell the truth, Yan Shimei!"

“My answer is no,” Yan Yu said frankly. “You don’t even need heaven and earth to witness it; you can just go and ask them.”

"Hmph." Tang Xiaolian sat down next to Yan Yu and suddenly said, "Sister Hongyu, I think it's better to see how much he has left than to listen to what he has to say. After all, Zhenyang doesn't lie."

“That makes sense.” Zhou Hongyu crossed her arms and menacingly approached him.

Yan Yu remained calm and fearless. If he had truly been philandering and squandering his True Yang energy in Tianjin, he might have been facing a bit of a headache now, caught between these two.

As for now? Bring it on!

Red Feather is troublesome, let's deal with Little Lian first!
Two hours later, Tang Xiaolian's voice was indeed hoarse, and Zhou Hongyu's legs were also a little weak. The two of them fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms under the covers.

Yan Yu was about to rest for a while when he heard someone knocking on the door again.

Then they came through the wall, and there were Lin Ning and Li Minghu.

"I heard that some girls in the Pear Blossom Academy delegation are pursuing you?" Lin Ning pressed him with a dark expression.

"What, are you jealous again?" Yan Yu teased her deliberately, then looked at Li Minghu and said, "Minghu, it's fine if Ningning is immature, but are you going to play games with her too?"

"No, no," Li Minghu said with a smile, waving his hand. "It's just that Xiao Lian was shouting too loudly earlier, and we could hear her from next door."

"Don't think that just because you're putting on a show, we'll believe you haven't been messing around over there!" Lin Ning said angrily, hands on her hips. "Hurry up and confess!"

"Confess?" Yan Yu said dismissively, forcefully pulling back the blanket. "If you want to confess, come and get it yourself!"

Two more hours passed before Lin Ning finally believed that he had not cheated on her during her time in Tianjin, and she finally fell asleep peacefully.

Li Minghu, however, refused to let him go, and snorted:

“Ah Jiang, you need to keep an eye on him too. He’s not single, so what’s with him running around in Tianjin with all those foreign girls? If his girlfriend finds out, I’ll have to mediate again.”

“I think you’re meddling too much,” Yan Yu said earnestly. “Your brother is an adult. Whether he stays faithful to one woman or has affairs with many women is his personal choice. You can’t force him to change. You can’t do it.”

"It's one thing to fawn over others, but to be treated like a lapdog and made fun of is another." Li Minghu was a little angry, and his body tensed up suddenly. "I know your main task is to negotiate and sign contracts, but if you have time, at least don't embarrass him, otherwise I'll feel ashamed too."

"On the contrary, I think setbacks are also part of his growth." Yan Yu gently stroked her back, the touch as smooth and comfortable as silk. "The women he came into contact with before were all after his identity as a warrior cultivator, which easily gave him the illusion that 'my charm is invincible'."

"Then why don't you get frustrated?" Li Minghu bit her lower lip in annoyance, staring into his eyes.

"I've already suffered setbacks with you, haven't I?" Yan Yu replied with a helpless smile.

"Anyway, Ye Yun has already told me everything." Li Minghu lowered her voice and bit his earlobe. "I also want to confirm it..."

"Do I have enough charm?"
