Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 973: 26 I Want to Be the Head Wife

Chapter 973: Chapter 26 I Want to Be the Head Wife

The previously arrogant and foul-mouthed Chen Lingyun is now curled up in the same quilt as Yan Yu, quietly asleep.

It has to be said, this wretched woman, as long as she doesn’t open her mouth, is a 120% beautiful young lady in all aspects. Once she speaks and reveals the little demon inside, her feminine charm immediately plummets by 120%.

Looking at her calm and sweet sleeping face, Yan Yu suddenly felt an itching urge.

It wasn’t the impulse of the body, as his body was now truly unable to activate—it was a strong desire on a mental level to thoroughly conquer this woman.

Which was something he had never been able to do in his previous life.

For a long time, Yan Yu attributed his past failures in love to the fact that he was not a cultivator and the gap in status between him and Chen Lingyun was too big.

Until now, he suddenly had another realization:

Perhaps the real reason was not the disparity between immortals and mortals, but that the favored person is fearless.

If you only love her, she won’t be in a hurry to entrust her life to you; but if you’re surrounded by beauties and indifferent to her, she might even accept if you open a harem.

Yep, that’s it. Compared to the Demonic Sect Enchantress, it’s this wretched woman who truly needs to be tamed and trained for her obstinate character!

The two of them slept soundly in each other’s arms, and feeling the warmth and smoothness of the body like creamy jade in his arms, Yan Yu also happily fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up the next morning, Chen Lingyun had already left at some point, and instead, it was Zhao Yuanzhen outside desperately knocking on the door:

“Yan Yu, are you in there? Are you? Are you? Are you?”

“Why the heck are you asking!” Yan Yu couldn’t help but say, “Can’t you just phase through the wall to check?”

“I was trying to be polite.” Zhao Yuanzhen then phased through the wall and said with a snicker, “Here’s the thing. I came up with a Crossing Tribulation plan last night and wanted to get your opinion… Holy shit, why do you look so awful? You look like you’ve been completely drained!”

Yan Yu: ………

You know exactly what you’re doing, don’t you? Why don’t you calculate how many on our team haven’t gone through Dual Cultivation?

“Oh no!” Zhao Yuanzhen slapped her thigh fiercely and said resentfully, “This Chen Lingyun is really inconsiderate. Taking without giving; look what she’s done to you. Next time I see her, I’ll make her pay.”

“The corners of your mouth are barely holding back a smile,” said Yan Yu, pointing out her attempt at holding back laughter.

“Not at all.” Zhao Yuanzhen defended vehemently, “I’m grinding my teeth in shared indignation! Look, I’m furious…”

She used two fingers to pull at the corners of her mouth and forcefully dragged them downward. Yan Yu waved helplessly and said:

“Alright, alright, why are you acting so weird today? You seem to be deliberately trying to curry favor with me.”

“How could you say that!” Zhao Yuanzhen quickly pressed her plump body close to him and hugged his arm while cooing, “What’s our relationship? It’s only right for me to maintain your dignity~”

She deliberately pressed Yan Yu’s arm very tightly, which might have been effective at other times. Sadly, Yan Yu’s current state of mind was as undisturbed as a meditating old monk, completely unaffected by the Enchantress, and he asked with a half-smiling face:

“What exactly is our relationship?”

“Of course, it’s a passionate Daoist couple relationship,” answered Zhao Yuanzhen without hesitation.

“Passionate love?” Who is Yan Yu if not a person of extraordinary wit and intelligence? He had sparred with Chen Lingyun back and forth in his previous life, and he immediately saw through the Enchantress’s true thoughts.

She’s afraid that I won’t acknowledge our relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, so she’s deliberately trying to win me over, huh.

Thinking this, he immediately put on a cold and arrogant expression and said:

“If you want to be my girlfriend, then first go find Lord Master and get me the Elixir Medicine he promised. I give you until this afternoon to get it done, hurry up and be quick about it.”

Zhao Yuanzhen nearly lost her composure: What’s with the attitude of ordering a servant around?

Taking into account that there’s no shortage of girls wanting to be the little thief’s girlfriend, and if they all establish a relationship with the little thief while she remains on the outside unable to enter, then the titles of main wife and consort would become an utter joke.

Thinking back to her previous grand declarations about being the main wife and teaching the younger sisters, just to see them turn into sarcastic boomerangs viciously hitting her, Zhao Yuanzhen was almost trembling with anger.

I will definitely not relinquish the position of the main wife!

Even if it’s through mountains of blades or seas of flames, I will not fear!

————————

But then again, Zhao Yuanzhen and Lord Master hardly have anything to do with each other.

Lord Master himself is proud and supercilious, and especially likes to show off. Let’s not even talk about the advantages, his shortcomings, however, are exactly like Yan Yu’s. How could Zhao Yuanzhen possibly be pleased with him?

But since Yan Yu had a request, she went over to ask.

Lord Master was bowling with Yang Linhui and others. Although he had formed his Golden Core and both the quality and quantity of his True Yuan had leapt qualitatively, his bowling skills had absolutely no change. He was getting Blast Killed by Ai Lu and Guo Feiyun, yet he was laughing merrily.

“Old Liu!” Zhao Yuanzhen called from a distance.

Everyone turned around in surprise. Seeing that it was Zhao Yuanzhen, Liu Longtao also looked baffled, with a “Do I know you?” expression on his face.

“Yan Yu asked me to get medicine from you, saying that you had promised it before,” Zhao Yuanzhen continued.

“What medicine?” Liu Longtao was briefly puzzled, then suddenly realized and quickly said, “Alright, I’ll give it to him.”

Has Old Yan overworked himself? Damn, I’m envious of how he manages the harem… I mean, he’s really working hard! Is he trying to save the marriage rate of Lu Country? Or is he aiming to rescue the low birth rate as well?

“He sent me to get it,” insisted Zhao Yuanzhen. “Give me the medicine quickly, so I can take it to him.”

“Alright, I’ll send a message to have it delivered,” Liu Longtao nodded and said, “Please wait here.”

“Captain Yan needs Elixir Medicine? Didn’t he already cross the heavenly tribulation and form his Golden Core?” Ai Lu asked curiously from the side, “What kind of medicine does he still need to take?”

“Heh,” Liu Longtao said offhandedly, “It’s just some medicine for regulating the body.”

“Is Captain Yan’s body not up to par?” Guo Feiyun also began to wonder, “He looks quite healthy to me.”

“Looking healthy doesn’t mean the body is actually well, and needing to regulate doesn’t mean the body is in bad shape,” Bai Ran, who had been quiet all along, suddenly chimed in, “With so many women, even the strongest need to recuperate, otherwise, it’s too much to handle.”

Everyone fell silent simultaneously.

Suddenly, they understood what was going on.

Damn, is this what being Lu Country’s number one cultivator comes with?

“Okay, cut it out, don’t go spreading rumors!” Liu Longtao commanded sternly, “Stop discussing his private life. If you’re envious, go book a few princesses in the private rooms yourself.”

“Hey, what’s the fun in booking princesses in private rooms?” Ai Lu said, “A real man should play with female cultivators like Captain Yan.”

“Give it a rest,” Guo Feiyun cast a disdainful look at him, “Talking about female cultivators, you better find yourself a living girlfriend first.”

“It’s not impossible with female cultivators,” Yang Linhui analyzed seriously, “Given our current strength and status, if we want to solve the single problem, the military would definitely arrange something if we report it.”

“That would be lame,” Ai Lu said, “If the military arranges it, it would mean we can’t find anyone on our own, right?”

“Then you go and find one,” Guo Feiyun continued to tear down his facade.

“It would be very easy for me to find one if I really wanted to,” Ai Lu began to boast, “When I was in Shengjing on business, I added a few civilian staff sisters as friends, and they even took the initiative to message me.”

“That’s because they want to marry up, not because they actually like you,” Bai Ran interjected again.

Zhao Yuanzhen, arms crossed, watched the men bickering and thought to herself that the focus of these men was truly strange. On one hand, they care a lot about their charm with the opposite sex, but on the other, they refuse to prove it by actually finding someone from the opposite sex, just bashing and joking with each other… Could they all be clueless?

Finally, someone brought over the Elixir Medicine. Liu Longtao checked it for a moment, then handed the Elixir Bottle to Zhao Yuanzhen, saying:

“You’re next in line for Crossing Tribulation, right? You need to put in effort, hey, only after forming a core can you be worthy of Old Yan, otherwise, you’ll have nowhere to cry if you get dumped.”

“Is that even in question?” Zhao Yuanzhen took the Elixir Bottle and said proudly.

Who cares how many women he has by his side, the main wife can only be me!

————————

The Elixir Medicine Liu Longtao gave this time seems to have a better effect than the previous bottle.

The original bottle should have been produced by Joyful Zen, meant to extend the lifespan of the residual medicine; therefore, although it could Strengthen the Foundation and Nourish the Origin, it also contained many harsh ingredients, the side effect being feeling overheated and headstrong, which could also be destructive and toxic to the body.

This bottle’s refinement technique is clearly much more sophisticated, with a change to many more balanced spiritual medicine ingredients, making the recovery effect after refining the medicine power much stronger.

On one hand, Yan Yu needs to quickly regulate and recover the True Yang deficit, and on the other hand, he also needs to consider Zhao Yuanzhen’s Crossing Tribulation cultivation, with a schedule that’s already packed post-Core Formation.

Yun Jin and Ningning have already sent private messages, saying they are willing to confirm a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him. As for Ruoxi, there is even less need to mention, even if Yan Yu said that the girlfriend quota was full, and there is now even a position for a ‘mistress’, she would probably still agree with a pitiful look.

As for Chen Lingyun, while she didn’t give a clear reply, Yan Yu knows her personality well; not rejecting is as good as agreeing.

Plus, with Zhao Yuanzhen who’s already a Daoist couple, it’s as good as all the girls from the entire Zhenhai Team being won over by Yan Yu.

Having run the team for so many years, conquering everyone with personal charm, this is where the confidence to start a harem comes from!

Thinking of how, even if the team dissolves, the members who have formed new families will not disband, Yan Yu couldn’t help but smile. But at the thought of helping Hongyu, Little Lian, Minghu, and Ye Jun to attack the Golden Core Rank, the mood became heavy again.

Let’s not talk about those things now, the pressing matter at the moment is Zhao Yuanzhen’s tribulation.

Demonic Sect Enchantress, with numerous wrongdoings! If it were the past Empress Yuanzhen who massacred without blinking, this Demon Emperor burdened with karma would have had to face a doubled tribulation power, and Yan Yu really would have been at a loss—As for how she formed her core and crossed tribulation in her previous life, Yan Yu wasn’t very clear either.

For this life’s Zhao Yuanzhen, being strictly restricted by Yan Yu, she didn’t commit numerous wrongdoings, so it’s unlikely there would be much karma.

Unless her previous life’s misdeeds before crossing over were also taken into account… and that’s even more impossible. What does the wrongdoing done in the Cultivation World have to do with Earth’s heavenly tribulation?

“You still need to calculate your True Yuan surplus accurately,” Yan Yu instructed Zhao Yuanzhen, “With your loose style, even if we prepared ten times the resources, it wouldn’t be enough.”

“When my sect’s seniors crossed tribulation in the past, it wasn’t this troublesome!” Zhao Yuanzhen argued.

“Nonsense, how many treasures are there in the Cultivation World and how many are there on Earth?” Yan Yu knocked on her head, “There you pass the Golden Core tribulation, borrow a powerful magic treasure from a Nascent Soul senior, who can compare to that? Here on Earth, the Golden Core Realm is already the peak, where would you find powerful magic treasures?”

Zhao Yuanzhen had no words to respond. It must be said, Earth’s Spiritual Energy Resurgence comes with both good and bad aspects. The good is not having ancient freaks above you wielding power, the bad is also not having them to provide assistance and guidance.

“Speaking of which,” the Enchantress suddenly asked, “is Ruoxi the next one to Cross Tribulation?”

“I don’t know,” Yan Yu sighed, “Ruoxi’s mental state is a big problem. Facing a heavenly tribulation, no matter how much True Yuan you have, it’s never enough; the key is you absolutely can’t panic, one panic and it’s over.”

“It’ll be tough for Ruoxi,” Zhao Yuanzhen clearly understood her best friend’s timid nature, “What do you plan to do?”

“Play it by ear,” Yan Yu said.

To play it by ear is to say he doesn’t know what to do. Cultivating abilities is easy but cultivating the mind is hard. Deficiencies in talent can be compensated in other ways, but how about the defects in one’s nature? When facing tribulation, no one can help you; you have to bear any dangers on your own, so those with an unsound mental state are likely to run into issues.

The best method Yan Yu can think of at the moment is to arrange for others to go through tribulation first, to collect as much information on heaven’s ordeal as possible.

Perhaps by then, there will be better plans, who knows.
