Chapter 991: Chapter 36: The Cunning Golden Retriever_2

Sullivan?

If Sullivan is the troublemaker arranged by Anna, then him deliberately saying, “The issues of the Northern Border should be solved by the people of the Northern Border themselves,” in public is exactly to induce me to think about going to help Anna Cross Tribulation; behind this is actually Anna’s own intention.

The reason she does not tell me outright is probably to maintain her initial impression towards her: a simple, straightforward Northeast girl without too many schemes.

But think about it, in the past life, who was capable of commanding the Amur Witch’s Group and such a vast territory of the Northern Border, and whose position was unthreatened for decades (on the contrary, the Southern Border has been changing Witch Kings frequently), could the Eclipse Queen really be that kind of guileless white lotus?

Thinking of this, Yan Yu has already begun to sneer in his heart.

It doesn’t matter. Whether it’s the naive outspoken golden retriever or the scheming Eclipse Queen, as long as they dare to challenge me unwisely, I will beat them just the same!

To make friends through martial arts, to beat opponents, exhilarating!

Anna came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a white towel that hugged her curvaceous body, covering all the necessary places, but it made her look even more enchanting and tempting. Especially since Yan Yu noticed that she did not tuck the ends of the towel wrapped around her body properly but instead deliberately clumsily held the ends of the towel, which meant that if she was slightly careless and let go…

Hm, hm, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, have I not seen all these tricks before? Will I be fooled by such petty trickery?

Anna slowly moved behind Yan Yu, leaning forward against his back, letting her fragrant blonde hair fall beside his cheeks, and asked with a smile:

“Did you notice anything?”

“Hm, I’ve noticed it all,” Yan Yu sneered openly, “You rule over the Amur Witch’s Group with plots and political schemes, building a huge shadowy empire in the Northern Border. I must indeed look at you with new eyes. Surely, one in power must rapidly grow in wit and strategy to deal with a perilous environment full of deceit and manipulation, but you are mistaken to use these petty tricks on me… Do you think I can be easily deceived?”

Anna fell eerily silent. Her head hung lower, as if about to go into an intimate whispering pose. Yan Yu raised his head amidst her blonde hair, meeting her captivating blue eyes filled with confusion, perplexity, and misunderstanding.

“What?”

“Stop pretending!” Yan Yu hugged her tightly, making her sit on his lap, then firmly pinched her tender cheek, and coldly said, “Your little tricks can’t fool me! Confess everything now!”

“What? What what what?” Anna squirmed uneasily on his lap and forcefully pried Yan Yu’s hands open, angrily saying, “What are you talking about? Are you deliberately provoking me?”

“I’m asking you, is Sullivan your man?” Yan Yu asked.

“Of course,” Anna said, “I am the Queen Witch, all Transcendents who obey the Amur Witch’s Group are my people.”

“I’m not talking about overt loyalty!” Yan Yu then repeated his just-made deduction verbatim, which led Anna to enlightenment and sudden realization, finally making her admit:

“So that’s it! His intention in not letting you deal with those demons was actually hoping you would help me Cross Tribulation!”

“Still pretending!” Yan Yu pinched her again as a punishment, “I’ve seen through your schemes!”

“It’s nothing to do with me!” Anna immediately cried out in protest, “I only just figured it out myself!”

“Are you trying to say, it’s all Sullivan’s own doing?” Yan Yu sneered, “When Emperor Peter returned from his failed conquest in the East, humbled, and his deputy Sullivan surrendered with his hands tied, did you choose to spare his life just so he could be your secret subordinate?”

“Of course not!” Anna assertively said, “He mentioned there are some dirty tasks not befitting the Queen Witch, tasks he could undertake for me…but that does not imply he is some secret subordinate to me, as he never reports his actions to me!”

“You are twisting words! What subordinate doesn’t report to their superior!” Yan Yu scolded.

“Actually, he used to report to me at the beginning,” Anna touched her chin, recalling carefully, “but I found it too bothersome, so I let him act on his discretion.”

Yan Yu fell into silence for a moment, then said doubtfully:

“Let me tell you, you don’t need to maintain the persona of an innocent fool in front of me. Having been the Queen Witch for so long, if you were still the same thoughtless and naive as before, I would actually be disappointed.”

Furious, Anna retorted:

“So, you’ve decided that I’ve been feigning stupidity? Well then, as you wish! Yes, Sullivan was acting under my orders, and those Transcendent factions cultivating Orochi were all deliberately overlooked by me on the sly, just to lure you out of Lu Country to be with me!”

“Holy shit, that’s ruthless!” Yan Yu was immediately shocked and filled with righteous indignation, “Just to meet me, you didn’t even hesitate to let the Northern Border be filled with corpses and misery! You demon, you do not deserve to be the Master of the North!”

“Hehehe!” Anna let out a cold, evil laugh, “So now that you know, what can you do? Right now, you are in my room, do you think you can escape from the palm of my hand? Just obediently submit to my will, Yan Yu!”

She lunged forcefully at Yan Yu, trying to slam him to the ground.

But Yan Yu was prepared. Firmly rooting his stance, he flipped his heels, knocking over a chair, then swiftly grabbed Anna’s arm:

“Good! Today, I’ll teach you a lesson: no matter how cunning the strategies are, they are futile in the face of absolute power!”

Seeing his arrogance, Anna clenched her teeth in frustration, thinking to herself that it was bad enough you think I’m scheming, and I was playing along with it, but you’re not following the script!

Fine, I won’t keep up the act either. If you want to fight, I’m game. Let’s see who ends up knocking who down!

She raised her fists, as large as cooking pots, and smashed them towards Yan Yu’s face.

In terms of fierce boxing, the Demonic Sect Enchantress might be ranked first, and although Anna was slightly less skilled, she wasn’t far behind. Striking forcefully on Yan Yu’s face, it buzzed him like he was hit by a flashbang, his vision filling with nothing but bright spots.

Even temporarily blinded, Yan Yu, being a Mortal Warrior who had trained under various extreme conditions, didn’t let his combat power falter even with closed eyes. His right fist tightly clenched, seizing the moment Anna thought she had subdued him, he struck fiercely like a venomous dragon, aiming directly at her vital spot!

Anna didn’t expect Yan Yu to still be able to strike back under obscured vision, and she grunted in pain, almost biting her tongue.

Ouch! Yan Yu, how could you hit me so hard!

A towering blaze of nameless fury ignited in her heart, she abandoned all defense, and her fists hammered down on Yan Yu with a desperate ferocity hard to resist.

Come on! Either kill me or be killed by me!

Yan Yu’s fighting spirit was also ignited, and he began a close-range brawl with Anna.

Compared to the green golden retriever lacking in combat experience, he was truly battle-hardened, completely outclassing his opponent in technique and detail. Even a simple punch, when striking Anna’s body, he could still shudder to the left, right, forward, and backward, causing the force of the straight punch to rapidly spread outwards.

How could Anna withstand such ferociously sharp boxing? Originally intending to tough it out through sheer physical toughness, she was quickly beaten to the verge of spitting blood, screaming:

“Are you really trying to kill me?”

“Isn’t this what you wanted?” Yan Yu shot back at her, “You tricked me here from Lu Country because you were itching to experience my might, weren’t you?”

“Not at all!” Anna, overcome with pain, could no longer keep up her act, her expression showing her grievance, “I just missed you…”

“It’s too late for words now, take another punch!”
