Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 610 - 75 The Transformation of Zhou Hongyu_2

"I can’t," Yan Yu replied.

"Then why are you sure she is jealous?" Zhang Huaide asked.

"You told me so," Yan Yu said, "She cares about my relationships with other women, isn’t that jealousy? If what you’re saying is true, then she must like me, but I don’t know if you’re making up stories to deceive me, so you should be able to conclude better than I can."

Zhang Huaide was speechless for a while before responding:

"Alright, she probably likes you, but why? What exactly happened?"

"Didn’t I tell you already?" Yan Yu replied, "Because I’m handsome."

"Haha." Zhang Huaide didn’t know how to respond, so he just sent a smiling emoji.

If Zhou Hongyu liked handsome guys, the Pingxi Army had plenty of good-looking guys, allowing her to change boyfriends every day of the year without repeating, and the superiors wouldn’t have to worry too much about her psychological issues either.

This time, something definitely happened that changed Zhou Hongyu’s attitude towards Yan Yu completely, even making her start to care about Tang Xiaolian, but Yan Yu did not want to say...

Thinking this, Zhang Huaide closed the chat window with Yan Yu and clicked on another name:

Chen Lingyun.

When Yan Yu returned to the villa, he saw Lin Ning cooking in the kitchen, Su Yunjin cleaning, Zhao Yuanzhen watching TV, Chen Lingyun playing on her phone, and Xie Ruoxi was not on the first floor—99.99% likely she was upstairs in the study, hugging her precious computer.

"Back already?" Su Yunjin came over to help him with his shoes, "Working hard, Captain."

Speaking of shoes, Yan Yu thought of the auntie responsible for "boot removal" at Chen Lingyun’s house and quickly held back Yun Jin, saying:

"No need, no need, I can do it myself."

"Haha." Zhao Yuanzhen coldly laughed without looking up from the TV, "What’s so hard about it? He was with Huofeng Team’s Zhou Hongyu; he probably enjoyed some lovely alone time with her."

"Don’t talk like that, Sister Zhao. The enemy who trapped Captain Zhou must have been tough to handle," Su Yunjin gently said.

"Yun Jin understands me," Yan Yu casually increased Secretary Su’s goodwill meter, then took out the Red Lotus Bowl, sneered, and said, "No one wants this trophy treasure, forget it, let’s leave it for Ye Jun of the Dragon Soar Team to exchange it for something better."

Zhao Yuanzhen immediately sprang up from the couch, shouting:

"What treasure? Let me appraise it!"

Yan Yu took out his phone, pretending to call Ye Jun, but Zhao Yuanzhen crashed into him, pinning him against the wall and snatching the bowl from his hands to inspect it carefully.

"This thing already has an owner!" she complained, "Forcefully refining it would be troublesome!"

"No kidding," Yan Yu said, "I already told you it’s a trophy, snatched from someone else."

"Is it powerful?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked.

"Would I bother bringing it back if it weren’t powerful?" Yan Yu said, "I even made a special trip to Jinling first to officially register this treasure, and then immediately filed to reclaim it. If it wasn’t a powerful magic treasure, would I go through all that trouble?"

"Humph humph," Zhao Yuanzhen immediately grinned, "It’s better if it has an owner—I get to bully them fiercely!"

"Sister Zhao, don’t say things that could cause misunderstandings!" Lin Ning finally couldn’t stand it anymore and emerged from the kitchen to complain.

Impatiently holding the Red Lotus Bowl, Zhao Yuanzhen went upstairs to focus on refining it. Lin Ning then spread her right hand out, asking Yan Yu:

"What about mine? What did you bring back for me?"

"Go on, go on," Yan Yu waved his hand, "I brought back an appetite, specifically to enjoy your cooking!"

"Stingy!" Lin Ning said angrily, "You can’t even keep things fair; you’ll see what happens to you sooner or later!"

"You don’t even need a new Flying Sword!" Yan Yu lectured her, "And to talk about gains, your Kunlun Sword Technique, Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step, and Dual Sword Control Technique were all benefits distributed to you by the team. You have one more Flying Sword than anyone else! Look at Yun Jin; she has been using just the ’Southern Dipper Star River Secret Art’ from the beginning to the end. Why doesn’t she complain?"

Lin Ning was left speechless. Su Yunjin, standing by, smilingly said:

"It’s okay as long as I can contribute to the team. I am satisfied with that."

Wow, Yun Jin, you’re way too smooth! Using me to boost the captain’s favor, aren’t you!

Lin Ning got annoyed and said:

"Fine, fine, I don’t want you to bring me any trophies. After dinner, you just help me see if there’s anything to optimize in my sword techniques, okay?"

Su Yunjin’s expression changed slightly: "So that’s your game, little Ningning, finding some excuse to make unreasonable demands and then stepping back to monopolize the captain’s evening, right?"

"Speaking of which," she twirled a strand of hair around her finger as if casually, "I’ve also had some doubts about my spell practice recently that I’d like to ask the captain about."

"Sure," Lin Ning responded unusually quickly, "Captain, you could just verbally guide her spells and then come and practice swordsmanship with me."

Su Yunjin could clearly understand her meaning. Yan Yu hadn’t practiced the Water Element technique, so at most, he could provide some optimization ideas, but with Lin Ning, he could actually engage in a swordsmanship duel, which meant he would spend a few minutes with Yunjin and hours with Ningning...

"I’m not talking about pure spell practice; it’s about integrating spell and swordsmanship," she quickly retorted, "How to use swordsmanship to pressure or even damage during the spells’ intervals, this area is too complex and profound, I can’t figure it out alone, so I can only ask you, Captain."

The integration of spells and swordsmanship involved changes and adjustments in offensive and defensive rhythms, which was indeed very complex and only Yan Yu could provide guidance. Su Yunjin came up with this excuse, also completely cutting off Lin Ning’s chance to say "then let me teach you."

Lin Ning was secretly furious, thinking to herself, haven’t I taught you enough about swordsmanship all this time? Now to compete for the captain’s free time, you no longer recognize me as your teacher?

She didn’t want to deal with Yunjin anymore, and turned to ask Yan Yu irritably:

"So what should we do? Are you teaching her or me tonight?"

"How about you two fight it out," Yan Yu said cheerfully, "Whoever wins, I’ll teach first."

His attitude, as if he relished watching the women fight, immediately annoyed both girls. Then they heard Yunjin say with a giggly smile:

"Captain, are you planning to assess our current strength before instructing us?"

"Exactly," Lin Ning joined in with shared hostility, "then we’ll practice with the captain together!"

"No moving or dodging," Su Yunjin said.

"No dual sword control," Lin Ning concurred.

"No using Barrier Charms," Su Yunjin said.

"No using puppets," Lin Ning added.

"You can only use one-handed sword control to practice with us," Su Yunjin said.

"Stop at touch, don’t hurt us," Lin Ning said.

"Might as well tie both my hands and let you use me as a punching bag!" Yan Yu exclaimed.

"That’s not entirely out of the question…" Lin Ning hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly Chen Lingyun asked from the sofa:

"Yan Yu, Deputy Captain Zhang told me that you went abroad to rescue Zhou Hongyu, and since her return, she has been distraught and out of sorts, as if she’s lost her soul. Tang Xiaolian said she wanted to thank you, and she kept asking what relationship Tang Xiaolian has with you... so what exactly happened between you?"

Yan Yu knew trouble was brewing the moment he heard it. This nosy woman was stirring up trouble again.

Looking at Yunjin and Ningning, both girls immediately showed a terrifyingly pleasant smile.

"Ningning," Su Yunjin said softly, her tone growing darker, "compared to practicing, I think it’s more important to find out what exactly happened during the captain’s trip."

"I think so too," Lin Ning seemed to emit a dark aura, "Not joining us for Breathing Exercises, but going out to flirt with someone else’s captain..."

"It might not have been the captain who initiated the flirtation," Su Yunjin spoke eerily, "What if it was mutual affection?"

"Haha, mutual affection..." unable to hold back, Lin Ning quickly grabbed Yan Yu’s right arm and started dragging him upstairs for a harsh interrogation.

"What are you doing!" Yan Yu immediately struggled and shouted loudly, "I came back to manage the team, not to be interrogated. What on earth are you doing?"

Su Yunjin quickly clung to his left arm, preventing him from pushing them away, and together with Lin Ning, they dragged him upstairs.

Chen Lingyun smiled as she watched her captain being dragged away, then lowered her head to send a message to Zhang Huaide:

"Actually, it might not be a bad thing."

"How so?" Zhang Huaide asked.

"Some people are like that," Chen Lingyun typed slowly, "If you wait for her to change on her own, you might wait ten thousand years and still see no progress. But bring in someone of the opposite sex, and a few words might completely transform her."

"In terms of results, there’s indeed a possibility of improvement because of this," Zhang Huaide replied, "but the uncontrollable risks are also great. How can you ensure that this change is always for the better?"

"I can’t guarantee it," Chen Lingyun said, "but that’s also part of the charm of being in love, right?"
