Chapter 840: Chapter 61 I Want to Kill You, Brother-in-law!_2 Chapter 840: Chapter 61 I Want to Kill You, Brother-in-law!_2 [Ah Jiang the Youth]: What the hell did you just do to my sister? I’m telling you, I heard everything!

[Win Over with Virtue]: Very smooth.

[Ah Jiang the Youth]: I’m going to kill you! Yan Yu! I swear I’ll kill you!

[Win Over with Virtue]: I’m going to forward all the messages you just sent to your sister.

[Ah Jiang the Youth]: Go ahead and forward them! What’s wrong with worrying about my sister! Not to mention she’s right there in your den of vice, it would be abnormal not to worry!

[Win Over with Virtue]: Then I’ve sent them.

[Ah Jiang the Youth]: Just send them.

[Win Over with Virtue]: Haha, I really look forward to seeing the expression on your sister’s face when she sees how naggy her little brother is!

[Ah Jiang the Youth]: Alright, you win, don’t send it to her.

[Win Over with Virtue]: Call me brother-in-law and let me hear it.

[Ah Jiang the Youth]: Brother-in-law, my sister is very frail, please don’t bully her, it breaks my heart.

[Win Over with Virtue]: Alright, alright, little brother-in-law, you don’t need to worry, I was just helping her neutralize the effects of the medicine.

[Ah Jiang the Youth]: Is it another one of those BS treatments like last time?

[Win Over with Virtue]: What else? If it weren’t for this kind of treatment, would there be any need to specifically arrange for your sister to stay with me? Because only I can treat your sister.

[Ah Jiang the Youth]: You must’ve used some kind of hypnotism on my sister!

[Win Over with Virtue]: Why don’t you dare admit that it’s male charm?

[Ah Jiang the Youth]: Male charm? You? Even the roosters in Lingnan have more male charm than you, okay?

[Win Over with Virtue]: I need to have a talk with your sister.

[Ah Jiang the Youth]: Brother-in-law is the manliest man I’ve ever seen in the world.

[Ah Jiang the Youth]: Fuck, this isn’t over, is it? Delete the chat history, now!

[Win Over with Virtue]: Delete it? As if! As evidence of your nagging, not only will I preserve it, but I’ll also make millions of copies and distribute them for free for the whole world to enjoy!

After teasing his little brother-in-law, Yan Yu felt a release from the frustration that had built up at Li Minghu’s.

Turning his head to look around, the girls were each doing their own thing:

Lin Ning was watching TV, where a food vlogger’s shop visit was being shown. Yun Jin was reading a thick paper book, which appeared to be a detective novel from the cover. Chen Lingyun’s gaze wandered around aimlessly from time to time, smiling as she glanced at herself. Xie Ruoxi was playing on her phone, her fingers nearly leaving afterimages on the virtual keyboard. Zhao Yuanzhen sat on the couch, munching through a huge pile of snacks Li Minghu had bought, from nuts to crispy rice to dried pork and mango, tearing open a new bag as soon as one was finished, occasionally sharing some with Anna next to her.

“What do you want?” Noticing Yan Yu’s gaze, the Enchantress immediately hugged her plastic bag protectively and said, “None for you, get lost!”

“That’s all the ambition she has,” Yan Yu turned to Xie Ruoxi and said, “Ruoxi, I know you’re close with her, but for the love of food, please don’t ever become as ruthless as she is.”

“Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!” Zhao Yuanzhen quickly wrapped Xie Ruoxi in her arms, crinkled her nose at Yan Yu and scoffed, “Ruoxi is with me, don’t you try to drive a wedge between us.”

“Exactly, exactly,” Xie Ruoxi also hugged Zhao Yuanzhen’s arm, much to the latter’s delight.

Just as Yan Yu was about to speak, he heard Xie Ruoxi send a telepathic message:

“Captain, don’t misunderstand, I’m just winning Sister Zhao’s trust to gather information for you! My heart only has room for the captain. Sister Zhao’s allure is but a firefly in rot and can’t hold a candle to even one millionth of your brilliance, you are the only sun in my heart!”

To think this pretty waste of space would use such an adjective took Yan Yu by surprise, similar to the shock of a child suddenly learning idioms.

But this was good. Hehe, Enchantress, the best friend by your side is my person, I’d like to see what you’ve got to fight me with!

“After dinner, let’s go for a walk outside, shall we?” Su Yunjin suggested, “Feels like it’s been ages since we all walked together.”

Going outside makes it easy to get mobbed,” Lin Ning immediately raised an objection, “The last time I went grocery shopping, even though I was wearing sunglasses, I was still recognized and almost got blocked by the media.”

“Why don’t you use the Invisibility Technique?” Yan Yu asked.

“That’s exactly how I managed to escape,” Lin Ning replied.

Listening to their casual conversation, Anna also found it extremely novel. In the Northern Border, if a Transcendent walked on the street, mortals would need to quickly avoid them—if you don’t avoid them, what if you annoy the Transcendent and they cast a spell to kill someone?

Gang members who have guns might be bolder, but they also stick to a “you don’t bother me, I don’t bother you” attitude, and wouldn’t provoke Transcendents actively.

As for a place like Lu Country, where civilians treat Transcendents like celebrities, pursuing them for autographs and photos just for stepping outside—it’s simply unimaginable in the Northern Border.

“We can fly on swords to Sheng Mountain,” Chen Lingyun suddenly proposed, “There’s no shortage of abandoned uninhabited islands there, and the natural scenery is great. It’s also very convenient to get there and back by flying on swords.”

“That’s quite far,” Su Yunjin hesitated.

“It’s a good opportunity for me to go back to Lin’an and visit my parents,” Yan Yu seemed somewhat keen, “You guys enjoy Sheng Mountain. I’ll spend some time with my family. When it’s time to return, I’ll join you again.”

The mention of Yan Yu’s family set the girls abuzz. Everyone knew Yan Yu had a good relationship with his family, so his family’s opinion would likely influence his choice in a partner… especially his sister Yan Jing. If you could win over this little sister-in-law, who then would speak on your behalf to the Yan family?

Now, it was a must to go!

No one spoke out loud. Some were now privately chatting with Yan Jing on their phones, some were thinking about what gifts to bring to the man’s family. Even a golden retriever who had never met Yan Yu’s sister was already panicking, hurriedly asking everyone what kind of girl Yan Jing really was.

“Don’t worry, Sister Anna,” Xie Ruoxi whispered to her, “Yan Jing is into anime just like me, she must like your blonde hair too.”

Anna frowned. Yan Yu’s sister is into anime? I really don’t buy it!

“Why don’t you try pigtails?” Xie Ruoxi continued to persuade, “Blonde hair with pigtails is like fries with ketchup; it has a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts. Besides, there’s a traditional belief in Lu Country that blonde-haired white girls age quickly, so pigtails could make you look more youthful.”

“I have Lu Country descent,” Anna quickly argued, eager to deny her foreigner status.

But…

Maybe see if Yan Yu likes it first?

Upstairs, Li Minghu had finally finished resting, took a shower to wash away the stickiness from excessive sweating, changed into fresh clothes, and was ready to head downstairs.

Upon arriving in the living room, everyone eagerly inquired how she was feeling. Su Yunjin even gave her a thorough check, making sure there was no imbalance in her Five Elements, no inflammation or fluid in her lungs, before reassuringly patting her chest in relief.

“No need to check anymore,” Yan Yu chuckled, “I personally treated her. Don’t you trust my healing?”

“Since when do you know medical skills, Captain?” Su Yunjin laughed.

“The things I know are too numerous to finish in three days and nights,” Yan Yu began to boast habitually, “Yun Jin’s Spells, Lin Ning’s swordsmanship, Chen Lingyun’s Ghost Summoning, there’s nothing I don’t understand. Even Anna the Rakshasa Witch’s Curses, witchcraft, and Demon Summoning—I can talk about them as long as they’re not too profound.”

“Then do you understand love, you genius?” Chen Lingyun suddenly laughed, “Can you guess who each of us likes?”

Yan Yu immediately fell silent. After all, admitting it would bring trouble, denying it would be self-contradictory, and feigning ignorance seemed a bit cheeky, so he opted to display his cool, detached façade, pretending he didn’t hear.

Seeing his speechlessness, the others only laughed more joyfully, and the living room was filled with a merry atmosphere.

Lin Ning’s dinner was Cantonese-style and quite tasty. Li Minghu praised it as “restaurant-quality,” which made Ningning beam with joy.

Meanwhile, Yan Yu was nibbling on red rice sausages and took the opportunity to send Li Weiguo a message to request a couple days off, intending to return to Lin’an for a family visit.

Li Weiguo’s reply came quickly:

“Li Minghu is with you, right? If you have time after the family visit, you two might want to check out this address. Don’t disclose this to anyone other than yourselves.”

A location was sent. Yan Yu stared at it and suddenly froze, his chopsticks suspended in midair.

“What’s wrong?” Xie Ruoxi beside him asked, “Captain, aren’t you eating?”

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Yan Yu finally snapped back to reality, putting the food in his mouth, his mind clearly no longer on the meal.
