Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 346 - 42 Zhao Yuanzhen’s Shame Spurs Her Courage
Chapter 346: Chapter 42 Zhao Yuanzhen’s Shame Spurs Her Courage
Yan Yu returned to the administrative building and tossed Zhao Yuanzhen to Lin Ning with a sneer,
“Putting up the sign and selling the head!”
Lin Ning hurriedly caught Zhao Yuanzhen, only to find that her dantian and the meridians in her limbs had all been sealed by Yan Yu with runescript, leaving her completely immobile.
As soon as Lin Ning removed the seal for Zhao Yuanzhen, the outraged and flustered Demonic Sect Enchantress immediately bounced up, baring her teeth and raising her claws as if intending to perish together with Yan Yu. Lin Ning and Su Yunjin caught her from the left and the right, repeatedly persuading,
“Forget it, Sister Zhao! Just let it go! Forget it, forget it!”
Zhao Yuanzhen was fuming with rage but was helpless and could only squall in frustration.
...
Firstly, it wasn’t a fight to the death, she couldn’t beat this rascal.
Secondly, there were too many people around, and if he turned the tables and beat her up instead, she would undoubtedly be the one embarrassed in the end.
Thinking this, she immediately pretended to be still furious but, due to the urging of her younger sisters, she reluctantly spared that little thief’s life and haughtily turned away with her arms crossed.
Yan Yu watched her performance nonchalantly, thinking to himself that this one sure was a drama queen, and turned to ask,
“Where are Lingyun and Ruoxi?”
“Lingyun has already left,” Su Yunjin said, looking at her phone. “Ruoxi is on her way.”
“Does Ruoxi have someone to pick her up?” Lin Ning immediately became anxious, “She can’t rely solely on the Invisibility Technique, they can all perform spiritual sense scanning!”
“No need,” Yan Yu said, “No one recognizes her.”
“How could no one recognize her?”
“She hasn’t been on TV…”
Everyone was speechless. Although Xie Ruoxi was indeed an official member of the Zhenhai Team, she had not yet appeared on television, and most people would not bother to check the official Privy Council website for the member list and then search for pictures by matching names.
After waiting for quite some time, they saw Xie Ruoxi returning briskly with two large bags in her hands, full of various kinds of food — truly a cultivator who trained every day in this life, countless times stronger than her previous life as a person who stayed in a rental room doing livestreams all day.
“You bought so much,” Yan Yu turned to ask Qiu Ze, “Shall we find somewhere to eat together?”
“Sure, let’s mooch a meal,” Qiu Ze said with a smile.
After the Shenxing Battle Team members also arrived, everyone rose into the air with Sword Control from the top floor of the administrative building, leaving the school.
After sending off the two teams, the instructors also hurried around the campus, urging the still noisy students to settle down as soon as possible.
When everyone returned to the villa, the men from the Shenxing Battle Team were quite excited, feeling the thrill of being in a beautiful woman’s home.
But no sooner had they entered when Lin Ning headed to the kitchen to heat up dishes; Su Yunjin went to the bathroom to grab a broom for sweeping; Xie Ruoxi, slightly socially anxious, used training as an excuse to hide in the basement; and Chen Lingyun had been on the second floor in her room and hadn’t come down… The lovely girls scattered in an instant, leaving the place spotless.
Only Zhao Yuanzhen was left, nonchalantly sprawled on the couch with her legs crossed, watching TV in the living room.
The handsome battle strength of this big beauty was clear from the time she started signing autographs on the small playing field opposite the cafeteria. The men were eager to chat with a beautiful woman, but not so much with one who was overly formidable, so they looked around for more suitable company.
Only to find that Chang Sisi was circling Yan Yu, asking some weird questions.
“Does Captain Yan usually train in the basement?”
“Mmhmm.”
“Ah, that’s so nice~ Our team’s basement is too small; doesn’t feel like we have enough space to really move.”

“You can remodel and expand it.”
“Then, before the remodeling is finished, can we temporarily come over to your place for training?”
The men nearly choked on their own blood upon hearing this. They hadn’t even managed to speak with the girls from the opposing side, and here their own girl was already being led away!
Qiu Ze hurriedly called Chang Sisi back and chastised her in a low voice:
“Don’t harass Captain Yan, okay!”
“Exactly, exactly!” The men echoed in agreement, unanimously supporting their captain.
“How did it turn into me harassing him?” Chang Sisi was incredulous with a laugh, “I am creating opportunities for the team. So that we can get closer and learn from the Zhenhai Team in the future!”
“Oh, right.” The men conceded the point upon hearing her explanation. Of course, it was more valuable to get in good with the great deity Yan Yu than to “get to know the girls from the Zhenhai Team.”
Only the vice-captain, Sun Ziyi, felt something was amiss and quietly asked:
“Apart from that, did you cling to him and chat for any other reason?”
“That can’t be said there’s none.” Chang Sisi chuckled awkwardly, “I’ve heard Captain Yan is still single with no girlfriend…”
Everyone was instantly stunned into silence. Don’t use official business as a pretext to settle your personal lifelong matter!
“Sisi, just forget it. You dare to have designs on Captain Yan?” Zhang Yang teased her, “Just look at the overall attractiveness of the women on the Zhenhai Team and then look at yourself…”
Before he could finish, Chang Sisi snarled and grabbed his throat, as if he were a chicken about to be slaughtered, flailing and struggling.
Over with Yan Yu, he approached Zhao Yuanzhen and earnestly educated her:
“This kind of signature event, you can’t do it again in the future.”
“Why not?” Zhao Yuanzhen was still angry, didn’t lift her head, and retorted coldly, “I sign my name; what does it have to do with you?”
The truth, of course, was that you’re throwing away your own face, and our battle team’s reputation will also suffer. But he knew he couldn’t say that, or else he would be thought by the Demonic Sect Enchantress as someone who could be manipulated by the team… He pondered for a moment, before gently persuading:
“Yuanzhen, which do you think will have a higher reputation, ‘someone who holds signature events all the time’, or ‘someone whose signature is hard to get with lots of money’?”
“Of course, the one who is hard to get with lots of money…” Zhao Yuanzhen replied without thinking, then suddenly had a moment of realization and fell into contemplation.
“Exactly.” Yan Yu pointed out to her, “The first floor of a commercial complex likes to invite luxury stores to open, aiming for a high-end consumer atmosphere. People are the same. If you go to a school to hold a signature event and sign for anyone who asks, everyone will just think your signature isn’t valuable, and by association, it cheapens your own worth as well.”
“That makes sense.” Zhao Yuanzhen mused, “So with that said, I really shouldn’t have given out these signatures.”
“Exactly.” Yan Yu said.
“But I already did.” Zhao Yuanzhen frowned, “So what now? Should we lock down the school and get all the signatures back?”
“God dammit, lock down the school!” Yan Yu was amused and frustrated, “What’s done is done, spilled water can’t be retrieved. You’ve already lost face, and now you want to get it back? Just do less of this stupid stuff next time.”
He sneered as he went upstairs, but the Zhao Yuanzhen in the living room was thinking more and more that something was wrong.
The thief does make sense! How can I, Zhao Yuanzhen the Fairy’s signature be given away so easily? It should at least go to a global auction, let the international media scramble to report it, and have billionaires line up to bid for it!
Thinking this, Zhao Yuanzhen was full of regret, thinking that this surely was the thief’s fault. Why didn’t he stop me sooner? He clearly wanted to wait for me to act foolishly, to see me embarrass myself, and then to laugh at me!
Damn it, I will remember this grudge! If the day comes when I can turn the tables and take charge, I’ll sell all his stuff for a low price, for a bargain, sell it all out!
In her mind, an image appeared:
She saw Yan Yu clutching his thighs, weeping and howling, “Don’t sell anymore! Please really don’t sell anymore! I don’t even have underwear left! Now I can only walk around the house naked!!!”
She then stepped on his head with one foot, laughing wildly:
“Thief, you’ve got your day too? You didn’t stop me when I was giving out signatures, relishing in my humiliation, and now you think of stopping me?”
“I’m going to give away all of your property!”
Heh heh, when the time comes, the penniless thief will only be able to please me, kowtow to me, and spend my money!
Mwahahaha!
