Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 879 - 879 78 Horizontal Alliance_2

Chapter 879: Chapter 78 Horizontal Alliance_2 Chapter 879: Chapter 78 Horizontal Alliance_2 So, Captain Zhou is counting on me now? Is this why Captain Zhou wanted to form an alliance with me?

Tang Xiaolian finally perked up, exclaiming:

“I have three strategies: good, better, and best!”

“Go on.” Zhou Hongyu said earnestly.

“The best strategy: take advantage of dual cultivation to make a baby!” Tang Xiaolian said confidently, “As long as I get pregnant, given Captain Yan’s nature, he definitely cannot ignore it––thus, we’ll naturally be in an invincible position. At worst, it’s just a matter of winning big or small!”

“No way.” Zhou Hongyu was quite intrigued but still shook her head, “What if he doesn’t take the bait? What about the child? I can’t let a child be born without a father. That would be too unfair to them.”

“Oh, that’s true.” Tang Xiaolian had already guessed that Zhou Hongyu wouldn’t agree to this aggressive plan, and added, “The worst strategy is to keep emotions and dual cultivation separate, and continue fostering feelings with Captain Yan, competing directly!”

“That’s too conservative.” Zhou Hongyu still shook her head, “Not to mention others, those team members who are always with him. We are at too big of a disadvantage in a fair competition.”

“Uh-huh, true.” Tang Xiaolian continued with a smile, “Then how about we use the middle strategy?”

“If dual cultivation is unstoppable, why not just continue maintaining this relation after Core Formation?”

“You mean?” Zhou Hongyu immediately got it, “Let him be addicted to…”

She suddenly got excited because she keenly realized she had a major, inimitable advantage over others – she could be unabashedly bold.

For the one I love, I can do anything, dare anything, am willing to do anything! Can you pampered ladies do as much?

“Let’s use the middle strategy!” Zhou Hongyu was extremely excited, gripping Tang Xiaolian’s hand forcefully, leaving no room for refusal, “And at that time, you’re also in!”

“Ah, me?” Tang Xiaolian immediately went numb, “No, Captain Zhou, I…”

“The two of us together!” Zhou Hongyu said loudly, her eyes burning with flames, “They definitely can’t do it! Both of us together can make Yan Yu unable to extricate himself from this thrilling relationship, like a prey caught in spider webs!”

It’s not like… then how will we decide between us… Tang Xiaolian really wanted to say this.

But seeing Zhou Hongyu as if ablaze with the thrill of battle, passion flickering in her eyes, Tang Xiaolian found herself unable to utter the words of refusal, especially since…

It might actually work?

If it were just me, the chances of success would be very slim. Captain Zhou is right, compared to Zhenhai Team, we are far behind from the start, fair competition is too disadvantageous for us.

We need an unexpected maneuver!

————————————

Time flies, and soon it’s December.

One thing finally becomes certain: this year’s New Year’s Day has to be spent at the local base.

Since the dual cultivation partners were decided, the girls hardly came for night raids anymore––after all, they couldn’t obtain Primordial Yang, only hugs and touches, and ending the relation without any advancement, letting all the benefits slip through.

On the 10th day of the month, Li Weiguo finally visits the Wudang Mountain base, and Yan Yu accompanies him for a chat.

On the training field, the men grew tired of cultivator basketball and started obsessing over cultivator bowling. Without using Extraordinary Power, and if a few pins remain standing, they must drink several bottles right on the spot.

While Yan Yu is spending half a day accompanying Li Weiguo, suddenly he hears Old Li ask:

“Why are there only men here? Don’t the girls play?”

“No one asked them.” Yan Yu replied, “Initially, when we started playing basketball, Li Zhaojiang called me once, but I didn’t go. After that, he stopped calling.”

“It shouldn’t be like this.” Li Weiguo asked puzzledly, “At your age, you should be most interested in romance. Why is everyone single? There isn’t much stress in daily life, so how come those unhealthy trends of not marrying or having children from the outside world affect you guys?”

“It’s precisely because there is no stress in life that we just do things our way,” answered Yan Yu, “If there really were stress in life, perhaps then we’d consider marrying and having kids.”

Li Weiguo sighed and said, “Overseas, top Transcendents messing around and having illegitimate children are not uncommon; many projects study what differences there are between the children of top Transcendents and ordinary people. We had set up a project early on, but it turned out that we couldn’t do it, what’s going on with this…”

Yan Yu smirked and remained silent, thinking to himself whether Old Li was hinting at him.

Damn it, I’m so young, why am I being rushed to marry and have kids?

“So what are the girls doing?” Li Weiguo continued to ask.

“Let me check.” Yan Yu took out his phone to send a message, and quickly said, “Our Zhenghai, Yun Jin and Ningning are out hiking; Ling Yun, Ruoxi and Yuanzhen are watching a show in their room; Xu Jin asked for leave this morning and came back at noon; Huofeng’s Zhou Hongyu and Tang Xiaolian… er, are practicing yoga in the yoga studio.”

“Although they aren’t participating in group activities, their lives still seem quite fulfilling,” nodded Li Weiguo, “What about you? What do you usually do?”

“I just get involved in everything,” Yan Yu replied, “If I want to participate in sports, I join them, and sometimes some girls drag me along to do other things.”

“What things?”

“Like hiking, watching shows, these routine activities.”

“Uh-huh,” Li Weiguo pondered silently to himself.

Gathering the intelligence at hand, all the male Cultivators in the four teams either remain single or find ordinary girls outside; the romantic situations of female Cultivators are simply disastrous… Although woman’s high expectations in choosing a partner can be considered traditional, why is everyone focusing on Yan Yu?

If you say Yan Yu isn’t a playboy, leaving so many girls hanging around him, enjoying a life where everyone adores him; but if you say he is a playboy, he does not really mess around with women. Compared to those chaotic circles abroad, he is practically a gentleman.

“You still need to communicate more with them,” Li Weiguo advised, “These female Cultivators… not a single one interested in romance, and the superiors are worried about this.”

“What’s there to worry about?” Yan Yu did not get it, “Being single doesn’t affect our ability to fight.”

“What if some country abroad concocts a handsome guy plan targeting their preferences, sending a spy specifically tailored for them, what then?” Li Weiguo raised his eyebrows, “Can you guarantee nothing will happen? People in romantic relationships are generally more stable; that’s an indisputable truth throughout history.”

“That does make sense,” Yan Yu, recalling a few Mortal Warriors corrupted by a honey trap in his past life, had to admit that such things indeed happen.

Although with the level of the four major teams, any outsider wanting contact has to go through numerous screenings, still, there’s always the possibility that something could slip through.

Alas, no choice. It seems I have to step up and take care of this issue for Lu Country!

My greatness needs no words!

“By the way,” Yan Yu asked, “is there anything happening outside recently?”

“Did you hear something?” Li Weiguo asked, surprised.

“Not really, just guessing,” Yan Yu said, “All four teams are not around, wouldn’t it be logical for some people out there to start getting restless?”

“There’s indeed a bit of a situation,” Li Weiguo responded coolly, “But don’t worry, it hasn’t reached the point where you guys need to step in yet.”

“That’s good.” Yan Yu pondered for a while, “If needed, let them cultivate here, and I can go out and show my face to deter some ill-intentioned forces.”

“That, of course, is possible,” Li Weiguo said with a smile, “When the time comes, we will surely call you.”
