Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 868 - 868 73 Delicious Tears_3

Chapter 868: Chapter 73 Delicious Tears_3 Chapter 868: Chapter 73 Delicious Tears_3 But as Yan Yu had previously realized, these girls didn’t care about the Golden Core Grade at all. If everyone else in the team received the captain’s help and only Xie Ruoxi didn’t, would she think her cultivation talent was too high to need it? Or would she think Yan Yu had no interest in her that way at all?

The latter would be the most devastating blow for her. As the captain, he of course couldn’t let the innocent Ruoxi get hurt.

The next was Yun Jin, also the most difficult presence to deal with in the team. On the one hand, her feelings for herself were extremely intense, surpassing all other girls, thus she had a stronger possessiveness and exclusiveness; on the other hand, she was not the kind of simple fool like Xie Ruoxi, nor was she an overly love-struck woman like Zhou Hongyu.

Yan Yu slid his phone again and saw that Su Yunjin and the others had already returned to the base.

“Yun Jin.” He dialed the phone and said to the other side, “Come to my room.”

Su Yunjin was sorting out the clothes she and Chen Lingyun had bought. Some were hers, some were for Ling Yun, and some were to be given to other sisters, so she clipped the phone between her shoulder and replied:

“Is it urgent? If not, I can finish sorting out these clothes and come over in about ten minutes.”

“Oh, no rush,” Yan Yu said, “then you carry on.”

Su Yunjin hung up the phone and picked up a shirt she had brought for the captain, lifting it up to examine when she heard Chen Lingyun laughing:

“You’d better go now, I can handle sorting this out.”

“Oh?” Su Yunjin blinked, realizing that Ling Yun must have guessed what the captain wanted from her, and probing asked, “Is it official or private?”

“Don’t know,” Chen Lingyun cunningly said, “Maybe official, maybe private, maybe both.”

Su Yunjin thought for a moment and stood up:

“Then I’ll go now.”

She arrived at Yan Yu’s room door and knocked.

“Come in.”

Su Yunjin pushed the door open, her face wearing a gentle smile, just about to speak, when suddenly she smelled a fragrance in the air.

Was it Ruoxi’s shampoo? No, it felt like a mix of multiple scents, as if Ruoxi was not the only one who had been here…

She quietly closed the door behind her, pretended as if nothing was amiss, and gently asked:

“What did you need me for, Captain?”

Yan Yu looked at her warmly and said:

“This is the thing. I have a Dual Cultivation Secret Method that can impact the Golden Core Grade.”

“So?” Su Yunjin smiled unchanged, clearly surprised by the existence of this secret method, but not much delighted.

“It involves content related to the Bedroom Technique,” Yan Yu seriously stated.

Su Yunjin:…

She fell silent for a while, then gathered her skirt and sat down beside Yan Yu, saying:

“You want to help everyone in our combat team… to impact the Golden Core Grade.”

“Not just them,” Yan Yu replied, “There are also Ye Jun, Li Minghu, Zhou Hongyu, and Tang Xiaolian.”

Su Yunjin fell silent again.

Her facial expression grew complicated, her brows gradually furrowing as if she was about to release a terrifying gravity, making Yan Yu also quickly prepare to withstand the pressure.

“Do we really…” Yun Jin finally spoke, “have to do it this way?”

“That’s the Golden Core Grade,” Yan Yu said.

“What if other male cultivators take over?” Su Yunjin struggled to ask, “Does it have to be you?”

“It’s linked to the String-Pulling Technique,” Yan Yu answered, “I don’t plan to expose the String-Pulling Technique at this stage.”

Su Yunjin took a deep breath, closed her eyes as if to calm herself.

“I’m very sad,” she finally said.

“I know,” Yan Yu also bowed his head slightly, as if bearing some pressure, “I understand it’s very hard on you.”

“But you will still do it,” Su Yunjin slowly said, her voice trembling slightly, “because that’s just how you are, always prioritizing national affairs above everything else.”

“Shouldn’t I be?” Yan Yu counterquestioned her, “With the Spiritual Energy Resurgence sweeping through our times like a tide, eventually, it will destroy all those who are fragile. Even if I can help one of you, it might save more people in the future…”

“So now it becomes my fault?” Su Yunjin bitterly laughed, her aura becoming increasingly heavy, “Is it that I know no better, foolishly wishing to monopolize you, preventing you from training more powerful female cultivators for Lu Country, is that it?”

Tears welled up in her eyes, always stubbornly swirling around, refusing to stream down her cheeks. Yan Yu silently watched her, his expression gradually turning to guilt and self-blame, and he drew her into his arms.

Su Yunjin struggled, finding she could not muster the strength, and let him continue holding her.

“Yun Jin,” Yan Yu softly said.

“Hmm.” She barely made out a response.

“This is my mistake, not yours…so, don’t torture yourself,” Yan Yu earnestly said.

“What if I can’t help it?” Su Yunjin bit her lower lip, tears finally streaming uncontrollably down as she sobbed, “Even hearing about this, I… I still like you so much, I can’t even bring myself to hate you.”
