Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 866 - 866 73 Delicious Tears

Chapter 866: Chapter 73: Delicious Tears Chapter 866: Chapter 73: Delicious Tears Logically speaking, helping someone to break through to the next Golden Core Rank, a task that requires the seemingly trivial or even unnecessary “Primordial Yin,” should be something no one would refuse.

Between the middle and higher ranks of Golden Core, there is an invisible chasm called “cultivation talent.” It solidifies from the moment of birth; one either has it or does not, with typically no way to change it.

Now, over this insurmountable chasm, someone has suddenly erected a narrow bridge.

Most cultivators would go to all lengths to cross this bridge. Let alone Primordial Yin, even if it meant self-mutilation, or enduring severe pain, there would still be plenty willing to take the plunge.

As for why the girls are acting so strangely, it’s clear they harbor some precious affection towards Yan Yu, to the extent that “exchanging Primordial Yin” somehow outweighs the importance of “advancing the Golden Core Rank”—a typical case of emotions completely suppressing rationality.

Zhou Hongyu agreed to join because she wanted to trade her body for more love;

Li Minghu agreed because she wanted to build a closer relationship with Yan Yu;

While both seem similar on the surface, their underlying motivations are distinctly different.

Ye Jun and Tang Xiaolian were hesitant and even resistant at first because they worried that the task of “advancing the Golden Core Rank” would adulterate their relationship with unnecessary impurities.

If getting into bed this time is for leveling up, then will there be no reason to do so in the future if there’s no need to level up?

If the cultivation partner is Yan Yu, these two girls don’t actually object to sleeping with him, but they hope that the motive behind it is pure love.

It must be love.

Having given love unilaterally, they expect love in return, not mere congratulations like “Congrats on improving your Golden Core Rank”… Of course, this is indeed invaluable, but love must maintain its pure and supreme place in their hearts.

In the end, both made a compromise. Tang Xiaolian bluntly expressed her emotional needs, whereas Ye Jun succumbed under the reason of “he needs me.”

Although different from Zhou Hongyu and Li Minghu, the commonality lies in the fact that feelings were the main reason they ultimately agreed.

This was a wake-up call for Yan Yu: when communicating with his inner house group, he can’t just talk about the tangible benefits like advancing the Golden Core Rank.

It’s all about the feelings!

Yan Yu took out his phone and fiddled with it in the group chat.

Xie Ruoxi! You’ll be the first then!

——————————

The base room is equipped with computers, almost all top-of-the-line hardware. Hence, after dinner, Xie Ruoxi couldn’t wait to return to her room to download games, then gathered friends to start raiding.

Raiding fiercely!

“F*ck, does the tank even know how to play?” She tore off her headset and roared, “Are you leaving the boss mechanics to the healer? Do you have any idea how much pressure there is on healing in this raid? Shall we turn your HP into a roller coaster and see if you die? Don’t you read guides before raiding? Why the hell don’t you go play KartRider instead? Everyone, just suicide and restart the raid!”

Her teammates grumbled through the headset as they left the raid and regrouped outside, while Xie Ruoxi continued to roar:

“Pull yourselves together! This time if anyone messes up, I’m kicking them! I’m not spending a fortune on your gear for you to enjoy the ‘fun’ of gaming… Hold on, I gotta answer a call! If you need the loo, go now!”

Seeing Yan Yu’s incoming call on the phone screen, Xie Ruoxi was shocked.

Why is the captain suddenly calling me? Doesn’t he usually just text?

“Hello?” She answered the phone, her voice instantly switching from the aggressive gaming girl to a soft, sweet tone, “Captain, is there something you need?”

“Where are you? Are you free?” Yan Yu asked.

“Ah~ I’m in my room, I’m free, totally free,” Xie Ruoxi hurriedly replied.

She forgot to mute her mic, which caused the team channel to immediately fill with her teammates’ gossip, all curious about which “captain” could make their raid leader, ‘Magic Lion,’ switch to such a girlish tone.

“Come to my room,” Yan Yu said, “I have something to discuss with you.”

“Got it, got it, let me change my clothes first,” Xie Ruoxi hung up the phone and realized she hadn’t muted her mic. She quickly told her teammates:

“You guys go ahead, I’m not running the raid.”

“Ah? Leader!” The teammates complained, “You’re the one who messed up this time!”

“Shut up!” Xie Ruoxi retorted confidently, “I’m off to chase my own happiness, you bunch of virgins wouldn’t understand! Go grab some tissues and have fun by yourselves!”

She cut off the communication cleanly, logged out of the game, shut down the computer, then quickly opened the wardrobe to pick a youthful daily anime cosplay outfit to change into.

Last time we watched anime together, I remember it was this outfit that made the captain especially keen to touch…

After changing, Xie Ruoxi activated her Invisibility Technique and sneaked out of her room, arriving at Yan Yu’s door.

“Captain!” She burst through the door swiftly, presenting the most seductive and alluring smile a cosplayer could muster, “Do you want to take a bath first or get in bed, or should we just do it in the bath…”

With a flick, Yan Yu picked up a cotton swab and flicked it with force, hitting her squarely on the forehead and shattering her suggestive speech before she could finish.
