Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 871 - 871 75 What Is Tolerable and What Is Not

Chapter 871: Chapter 75: What Is Tolerable and What Is Not Chapter 871: Chapter 75: What Is Tolerable and What Is Not “You don’t get jealous at all, do you?” Yan Yu said.

Although he had long known that this woman had some issues with her nerves, seeing her so delighted now, Yan Yu still wanted to pry open her brain to see what was inside.

“Why should I be jealous?” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, “Men’s possessiveness towards their partners fundamentally stems from the rejection of non-biological children; the exclusivity of women towards romantic rivals often originates from threats to family status and practical interests; but sorry, I don’t see any threat they pose to me in this regard.”

Yan Yu fell silent for a moment before he started cursing in his heart.

This trashy woman seemed to be expounding some theory, but in reality, she was explaining why she isn’t the jealous type:

I have no economic dependence on you, nor do I care about the status of being a wife or a mistress. When I like you, I’ll be with you; when I don’t, I’ll leave you, and naturally I won’t care how many other women you have around.

You naturally evil female little devil, once you reach the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, I will definitely…

“Let’s see if you can still say such things when I put you and them together one day,” Yan Yu said with a cold laugh.

“No problem,” Chen Lingyun replied cheerfully, “As long as it makes me happy, you can do whatever you want.”

“I’m not going to argue with you.” Yan Yu once again realized that this woman had no bottom line and waved his hand to end the topic, “What I’m more worried about now is how to deal with the relationships with them after reaching the Golden Core Stage.”

“That is indeed quite troublesome,” Chen Lingyun put away her smile and said seriously, “The female cultivators you’ve picked are mostly independent women with strength and status. It’s difficult to expect that sleeping with them just once would make them follow you, and if they interpret it as having slept with you instead, that wouldn’t be too bad either…”

“Stop right there,” Yan Yu interrupted, raising his hand, “Who said I want them to follow me? What I mean is, how to define our relationship after we’ve slept together! To call it a romantic relationship is definitely not right; pretending as if nothing happened also seems inappropriate.”

“Then they can be ambiguous interests,” Chen Lingyun suggested with a smile in her eyes, “Being a king of pleasure isn’t too bad.”

“Nonsense,” Yan Yu commented, “We’ve already agreed to Dual Cultivation, which is equivalent to showing my hand that I like you, and you are still talking about ambiguity?”

“You can pretend you don’t know,” Chen Lingyun suggested with a laugh, “It’s also okay to continue being ambiguous afterward.”

“That’s as useless as trying to fart and holding it halfway; wouldn’t that make people feel disgusted?” Yan Yu criticized, “I’m thinking I still need to see their respective attitudes. Some should be able to accept maintaining the current situation, but others might want to take this opportunity to advance further.”

“Those who want to maintain the status quo can do so; those who want to advance further can also do so,” Chen Lingyun wrapped her arms affectionately around his neck from behind and said casually, “Then no one would be dissatisfied.”

“Laughable, dividing by clamor?” Yan Yu disdainfully pried her arms away, “In that case, wouldn’t I just become your yes-man?”

Chen Lingyun hugged his back again, rested her chin on his shoulder, and breathed softly, “For those women who want to be closer to you, if your response doesn’t meet their expectations, there will definitely be complaints, and that will cause you a lot of trouble.”

“As for those women who are willing to maintain the status quo, they don’t necessarily want nothing more; they are simply more considerate of your feelings. If you maintain the status quo just because of that, wouldn’t it harm those who care about you more?”

“If you don’t want to treat them differently, then how about treating them all equally… Haha, just like Little Ningning always emphasizes.”

Treating everyone equally, while seeming to be fair, is actually the least thoughtful approach. Even wolf packs, which need to cooperate to hunt, have differences in closeness among members. To expect to treat all partners equally is even more foolish.

While Yan Yu was contemplating this issue, he immediately dismissed the idea of treating everyone equally.

What I want is for everyone to revolve around me, to distinguish their standing based on the closeness they have with me, a euphoric world where only I am revered! How could I possibly play such a game of equal treatment for all!

Thinking this, Yan Yu suddenly realized that Chen Lingyun was deliberately provoking him.

Since equal treatment won’t do and division by clamor isn’t right, that leaves only autocracy. For the girls I like, the relationship can go further; for those I’m not so fond of yet, I should maintain a suitable distance, letting them realize they need to offer me more to receive more… Damn it, isn’t that the “me-centered” way that the inherently evil Pleasure Seeker loves?

From a rational standpoint, of course, it’s more advantageous to choose the latter approach, but instinctively, Yan Yu didn’t want to become a male version of Chen Lingyun, so he once again glossed over the topic and said:

“The current task is still to reach the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm first, then Crossing the Golden Core Tribulation, and finally dealing with personal relationships.”

“As for the Golden Core Tribulation, the Elixir Medicines are already being prepared,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, “The lab environment is also being verified. In fact, as long as we can design a plan, with a resolve to spare no expense, there won’t be any trouble setting it up. We should be able to complete it before we reach that realm.”

“The bigger concern right now is, with the Four Great Battle Teams all taking leave at the same time, who knows if some people will start getting restless.”
