Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

With a loud clap of thunder, a bolt of lightning resembling a snake, about 5 centimeters long and as thick as a pinky finger, shot out from the cone, racing forward like a bullet and vanishing in the blink of an eye.

What a piece of trash! Not even a dog would play with it.

Yan Yu carelessly tossed the hammer and awl on the ground (much to the horror of all the experts at the central control center, who felt a shudder run through them and wished they could teleport over to catch it), then silently took out a few True Yuan recovery Elixir Medicines and popped them all like candy.

Damn, there's less than one-tenth of my True Yuan left, how is this Thunder Method so terrifying? It's a major True Yuan consumer!

However, at this point, Yan Yu had already guessed why Mei Yingxue had specified the Zhenhai Team for this Mysterious Realm.

It must be a clue she got from somewhere, confirming that there was a treasure related to the Thunder Method in the Black Dragon Isle Mysterious Realm, which was perfect for Xie Ruoxi, the beautiful waste, to play with.

Because this Thunder Method... unlike Sword Control Technique which requires precise mental control, nor like the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Art which needs careful handling, it launches a bolt of thunder that disappears with a snap, how else can it be operated? How can it be controlled?

The charm of this thing is that it consumes True Yuan and is powerful, something a regular Cultivator wouldn't even be able to handle. But there's Xie Ruoxi, the waste of a general, who has powerful True Yuan and isn't the smartest, making this Thunder Method practically tailor-made for her!

Teacher Mei, your immense kindness, I will remember it on Xie Ruoxi's behalf! I'll have her kowtow to you one of these days! Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

"Pack up these two things," Yan Yu ordered Xie Ruoxi.

"Oh," Xie Ruoxi went over diligently and picked up the hammer and awl.

"Make a record," Yan Yu then reminded Chen Lingyun, "After the research is done, give them to Ruoxi for use."

"I don't want them!" Xie Ruoxi blurted out subconsciously, "They're so ugly!"

"Hm?" Yan Yu immediately glared, which scared Xie Ruoxi into shivering and she instinctively attempted to drop to her knees to apologize.

Luckily, Yan Zhanlong himself remembered the camera was recording and didn't want to perform a live dog training for the middle-aged and elderly staff at the control center, but rather he turned his head to ask:

"Did you find the core of the Mysterious Realm?"

"Found it." The one in charge of checking the body of the six-armed demon god was Chen Lingyun, who was currently looking disdainfully at the other's damaged third eye and also turned to ask, "Sister Zhao, may I borrow your sword?"

"What for?"

"There's a treasure inside his eye," Chen Lingyun said.

Zhao Yuanzhen immediately dashed over like a rabbit, forming hand seals, and the Yin Wind Sword pierced into the third eye, spraying out a large amount of foul blood, and finally dug out the central core of the Mysterious Realm; it was an orange-yellow treasure orb the size of a human head.

"Sister Zhao, why don't you refine it?" Chen Lingyun continued with a smile, "Aside from the captain, Sister Zhao made the largest contribution this time."

"Indeed." Zhao Yuanzhen took the flattery as expected, her demeanor becoming smug, without the slightest thought that Chen Lingyun might find it disgusting; it was actually Su Yunjin who couldn't stand it and spoke out:

"Wait, let me clean this orb first, it's too dirty."

While they were refining the Mysterious Realm's core, Yan Yu was also sitting cross-legged, refining the medicine's effect to recover as much True Yuan as possible.

"Captain, do you need Elixir Medicines? I have more here." Su Yunjin, who had just finished cleaning the Mysterious Realm's core, somehow returned to his side, bent down, and took out a bottle, asking with concern.

Yan Yu opened his eyes to find that from this angle, looking down her neckline, he could just make out the inside of... well, actually, he couldn't see anything; it was all shadows.

Su Yunjin, sensing something, discreetly held down her neckline with her left hand to prevent what was never there from spilling out, while her right hand continued to hand him the little bottle.

"No need, I still have some," Yan Yu declined.

"Oh." Su Yunjin immediately showed a touch of disappointment, but quickly put on a smile again and asked, "Do you want some water then?"

Yan Yu intended to refuse again, but considering that he had already declined once, it wouldn't be good to keep turning her down and possibly strain their relationship, so he nodded slightly in agreement.

Su Yunjin unscrewed the cap and brought it to his lips, and Yan Yu had just had a sip when he suddenly realized what was happening.

Shoot, I've been played!

The matter of indirect kissing tends to be significant to women and trivial to men. By deliberately giving her water to him, wasn't Secretary Su hinting "I don't mind kissing you"?

And because she didn't state it explicitly, he couldn't outright reject her with a harsh "In your dreams"!

Terrible, this woman's schemes are so fearsome, her methods of expressing love so hard to guard against, she's practically the Casanova version of Yan Zhanlong!

No, since I claim to be the strongest in this world, I absolutely cannot concede like this on the battlefield of love. I must strike back fiercely!

"Why does this water have no taste?" Yan Yu suddenly frowned and asked.

"Huh?" Su Yunjin was immediately surprised, "It's just ordinary water, let me see."

She tucked the hair beside her cheek behind her ear and lifted the cup to take a sip—Yan Yu noticed that she drank from exactly the same spot where he had, without having turned the cup even slightly.

"It has no taste," Su Yunjin said nonchalantly, but couldn't completely hide it, the faint blush on her face betraying her inner emotions, "Why don't you try drinking again?"

"No need," Yan Yu coldly shook his head and said, "I only want to drink a sports drink right now."

"Coca-Cola, right!" Lin Ning popped up from nowhere, excitedly saying, "I also like to drink Coca-Cola after exercising!"

"Carbonated drinks are not sports drinks, you know," Su Yunjin replied somewhat instinctively irked, but still smilingly said, "Drinking carbonated drinks after exercising can lead to osteoporosis."

"But we are Cultivators," Lin Ning retorted.

"There's no evidence that Cultivators can't have osteoporosis, right?" Su Yunjin didn't budge an inch.

"Shouldn't we assume innocence until proven guilty?" Lin Ning didn't want to argue with Su Yunjin, but her quiz enthusiast's need to be precise kicked in, "Only when 'there is clear evidence that carbonated drinks can lead to osteoporosis' can we assume that it's probably true. It's not rigorous to draw conclusions by blindly making analogies without considering the objective conditions."

"But we don't need to be rigorous," Su Yunjin shook her head and smiled, her linguistic logic also a strong point for a literary girl, "When it comes to health, being a bit conservative isn't too much. Even if it's unclear, drinking harmless beverages definitely doesn't do any harm, but drinking harmful beverages is definitely not good."

"Alright, stop arguing," Yan Yu said with a calm demeanor, "We don't have Coke here, just two vinegar jars, it doesn't matter whether I drink or not."

Lin Ning couldn't hold back anymore, and said indignantly:

"What vinegar jars! Who is jealous over you! I'm leaving!"

She ran away quickly, and Su Yunjin also felt her face losing face, her annoyance flaring up as she questioned him:

"Does the Captain like watching girls get jealous over you?"

"Not at all," Yan Yu immediately played dumb, asking blankly, "Why would you say that?"

Su Yunjin tried to suppress her anger:

"Who are the two vinegar jars?"

"Don't know," Yan Yu pondered, "Probably the girl who forgot she was wearing a camera on her chest."

Su Yunjin's face turned pale instantly: Oh no! How could I have forgotten that!!!

At the main control center in the back, numerous experts listened quietly to the conversation between the two, thinking to themselves, have you only just realized now?

We're grown adults, staying up late here to work overtime, and still being force-fed dog food by you young people!

The realization that she was still being livestreamed finally hit Su Yunjin, and she no longer dared to continue questioning Yan Yu, hastily running off to discuss strategies with Chen Lingyun via secret sound transmission:

"Ling Yun, save me!"

"What's wrong, Yun Jin?"

"I just went to flirt with the Captain, and I got into a bit of a quarrel with Ningning, completely forgetting about the camera!"

"Eh, isn't that very interesting?" Chen Lingyun became interested.

"It's not interesting at all, okay!" Su Yunjin said with a crying tone, silently crouching down to hug her legs, burying her face in between her knees—as if she were an ostrich burying her head on the spot, wishing she could hide her whole body as well.

"Yun Jin, don't be too shy," Chen Lingyun coaxed soothingly, "This is actually a good thing."

"A good thing?"

"Yes~ Think about it, if everyone knows you like Yan Yu, it will create moral pressure on him to respond to your feelings quickly!"

"But I don't want everyone to know!" Su Yunjin's feelings at this moment were simply full of speechlessness.

"Then let me put it another way," Chen Lingyun continued to tempt her, "Since everyone already knows, instead of being hopelessly regretful, why not use it to your advantage, how about that?"
