Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 462 - 58: Everyone Assembles, Shocking Lady Yan

Chapter 462: Chapter 58: Everyone Assembles, Shocking Lady Yan

Mom Yan, weighed down by concerns, returned to the living room and instructed her daughter:

“Go and wake up your brother.”

“I won’t.” Yan Jing, realizing that her mother was gearing up to interrogate, quickly defended her brother, “Mom, I’ve warned you before that they all have a thing for big bro, you just wouldn’t believe it!”

Mom Yan thought, even now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I still find it somewhat unbelievable!

These three girls, whether in looks or personality, are all exceptionally outstanding. Out there, wouldn’t boys be lining up to pursue them, even going so far as to fight over them? How could it be that all of them are fond of my son!

“Tell me, how did you come to know about this?” She pulled her daughter over to the balcony and asked in a low voice.

...

“Mom, have you forgotten that I went to Jinling last year to visit big bro?” Yan Jing replied, “Even then, I could tell that each of the sisters had added me as a friend and were secretly asking about big bro. If it wasn’t because they had feelings for big bro, what else could it be, that they were after our family’s wealth?”

Mom Yan was momentarily at a loss for words. For cultivators, money was indeed just a number.

But still… if it’s not for money, what exactly do these girls like about my son?

Like his straightforwardness, always speaking his mind? Like his nasty character, taking pleasure in bullying others? Although the TV news is always singing his praises, do I not know what kind of person my own son really is?

While Mom Yan was filled with doubts, the quiet exchange in the kitchen continued.

“Ningning, you said you were just here to deliver some New Year’s gifts, so why are you helping in the kitchen now?” Su Yunjin asked softly.

“Yunjin knows I just can’t sit still.” Lin Ning naturally wouldn’t admit her ulterior motives, “Since I’m here, and Team Captain’s mom is cooking—with so many dishes to prepare, it’s only normal for me to help out a bit, right?”

“She’s not alone.” Su Yunjin stated coldly, “I’ve been helping.”

“You?” Lin Ning asked.

“Me.” Su Yunjin said.

“Yunjin, I don’t mean to belittle you,” Lin Ning chuckled, “but cooking isn’t something that a few days of crash training can prepare you for. For instance, do you know the four different methods to cook eggplant?”

“Fry, deep-fry, steam, stir-fry,” Su Yunjin calmly replied.

Lin Ning was momentarily stunned, then asked:

“What should the oil temperature be for deep-frying stuffed eggplant?”

As expected, Su Yunjin couldn’t answer. Lin Ning immediately cried out triumphantly:

“See! Yunjin, you still have a lot to learn. Let me take care of the kitchen for now.”

“Fine.” Su Yunjin smiled slightly, “Then let Ningning handle the kitchen, I’ll go chat with the team captain’s mother.”

Lin Ning: ?!

Oh no, it seems I’ve fallen into a trap!

She suddenly realized, did she come to the team captain’s house to help cook?

Of course not!

If Yunjin is going to ingratiate herself with the team captain’s mother, what am I going to do?

“I want to go too!” she blurted out without thinking.

“That won’t do,” Su Yunjin said with a smile, “If Ningning also leaves, what happens to the food preparation in the kitchen?”

“Yunjin, you could help me…” Lin Ning said anxiously.

“Can’t do that. After all, cooking isn’t something that a few days of crash training can get you into, right?” Su Yunjin was well prepared.

Lin Ning was deflated on the spot, speechless, suddenly hating herself for only knowing how to cook.

Su Yunjin left the kitchen, just in time to see Zhao Yuanzhen, rubbing her bleary eyes and yawning as she walked out of the guest room.

The enchantress, upon seeing Yunjin, paused for a moment, then asked:

“Yunjin, how come you’re here?”

“I’ve come to pay a New Year’s visit,” Su Yunjin said with a smile.

“Oh, okay.” Zhao Yuanzhen, not thinking too much of it, took Su Yunjin to the living room and handed her a bag of snacks, beaming, “Yunjin, let me tell you, this pork jerky is super delicious! The more you chew, the tastier it gets!”

Seeing this, Mom Yan chuckled and stood up, saying:

“There’s still a bit left in the cupboard, I’ll get it out for you.”

Su Yunjin and Zhao Yuanzhen sat on the sofa, chatting and laughing with Yan Jing, giving her a feeling of “I’m surrounded by beautiful sisters-in-law,” filled with delight.

Heh heh, if they want to be with big bro, they’ll have to win over this little sister first! If big bro has a harem, that’s practically the same as me having one!

As the three of them were chatting and laughing, suddenly the doorbell rang for the third time.

Yan Jing hurried to open the door, only to see a beautiful girl she had never seen before standing outside.

The girl wore low twin tails, had fair skin, light makeup, and was dressed in a simple pair of overalls. She also wore sunglasses that concealed her features and seemed slightly hunched over, as if nervous or afraid of something, and cautiously asked:

“Excuse me… is this the team captain’s house? Oh no, I meant to ask, is this Yan Yu’s home?”

“Yes.” Yan Jing was taken aback at first, but then quickly realized and said with a smile, “You must be Xie Ruoxi that big bro mentioned, right? I’m Yan Yu’s sister, Yan Jing. Ruoxi, please come in.”

“Ah? Oh, okay.” Xie Ruoxi hurriedly came in, still explaining, “It’s not that I wanted to disturb you, it’s that the team captain asked me to come over for New Year’s!”

“It’s no bother at all,” Yan Jing said understandingly, “I’m very happy that Ruoxi could come.”

“Hmm, hmm…” Xie Ruoxi fell silent for a moment before suddenly asking, “That, can you call me that one more time?”

“What?” Yan Jing laughed.

“Call me sister,” Xie Ruoxi said cautiously.

“Sister Ruoxi,” Yan Jing called out.

“Good, good, good.” Xie Ruoxi cried tears of joy, I can finally be a sister too, and she pulled a red envelope from her pocket, waving away her tears, “Here you go, little sister, this is your New Year’s money from big sister…”

“Thank you, Sister Ruoxi,” Yan Jing accepted the New Year’s money but felt somewhat puzzled inside.

What kind of nickname is ‘little sister sauce’? It’s a bit gross… Is this Xie Ruoxi from some anime?

Xie Ruoxi entered the living room and greeted her two teammates.

Zhao Yuanzhen was very happy: I woke up early to find Yun Jin chatting with me and Ningning cooking for me, and now my good sister Ruoxi has also come to join me for a meal! And without that bad woman Ling Yun, it’s perfect!

With such joy, I do not even think of Jinling!

Su Yunjin’s face held a smile, but her heart grew chilly.

She chatted nonchalantly for a bit and, after figuring out that Yan Yu had called Xie Ruoxi over, felt even more annoyed.

First Ningning, then Ruoxi, Captain, what are you trying to do? Do you really not want to spend the day alone with me that badly?

Mother Yan brought out some dried pork from the bedroom and, upon seeing another pretty girl in the living room whom she had not met before, stood rooted to the spot in shock. Thankfully, Yan Jing quickly stepped in to smooth things over by introducing her mother and Xie Ruoxi to each other:

“Mom, this is Sister Ruoxi, a new member of big brother’s team.”

“Well, not exactly new; I joined last year,” Xie Ruoxi, somewhat shy and reserved, said softly, “Hello, Auntie.”

“Hello, hello, have a seat!” Mother Yan was getting a bit numb to the situation, “Would you like some dried pork?”

“Thank you, Auntie,” Xie Ruoxi politely responded.

The living room, abuzz with chitchat, made Mother Yan feel slightly out of her element. She turned and went into the kitchen only to find Lin Ning having swiftly finished preparing breakfast.

“Lin Ning, why don’t you take a break,” Mother Yan said, feeling slightly embarrassed, “this is enough food already… Oh, Ruoxi just arrived, would you like to greet your teammate?”

“Ruoxi is here too?” Lin Ning exclaimed in surprise, yet she felt secretly annoyed inside.

Everyone is thinking of hiding it from the rest, sneaking over to the captain’s house for a private New Year’s visit!

If it weren’t for my dad asking me to bring some seafood over, would you all gather here and leave me alone in Qingyuan Prefecture?

Although she felt upset inside, Lin Ning had an excellent poker face. Together with Mother Yan, she carried the noodles, porridge, boiled eggs and other side dishes to the dining table, then called everyone over for breakfast.

“I’ll go wake up big brother and dad,” Yan Jing offered as she stood up.

Before she could head toward the bedroom, the sound of the doorbell rang out from behind her.

Upon opening the door, sure enough, it was Chen Lingyun standing outside, smilingly greeting her.

With this, the Zhenhai Team had all assembled, ready to face the captain’s house!

“Wow, is everyone here?” Chen Lingyun arrived at the dining room, glanced around the room, her gaze finally settling on the stiff expression of Mother Yan as she smiled and said, “Hello, Auntie, I’m Chen Lingyun, the deputy captain of Yan Yu’s Team.”

Mother Yan was already overwhelmed; even if five or six more pretty girls were to arrive, she no longer had the energy to be surprised, merely squeezing out a smile to say:

“We’re just about to have breakfast, please find a spot and sit down.”

Chen Lingyun lifted her skirt and sat down between Su Yunjin and Lin Ning, then suddenly smiled and asked:

“Where’s Yan Yu?”

“I’ll go call him,” Mother Yan turned and left.

She arrived at her son’s bedroom door, knocked first, but hearing no response inside, she pushed open the door and saw Yan Yu meditating on the bed. He opened his left eye to look at his mother and asked:

“Is it time for breakfast?”

“Yes,” Mother Yan replied indifferently, “All of your team members have arrived.”

“Oh,” Yan Yu then prepared to get out of bed, but saw his mother take two steps in three, quickly approaching the side of the bed, and in a lowered voice she asked:

“Why are all your team members girls?”

“Am I not a man?” Yan Yu responded immediately, “The team has been established for almost a year now, and you only just found out about the situation in the team, Mom?”

Mother Yan was momentarily at a loss for words, then quietly asked:

“Jingjing said they all have feelings for you, is that true?”

“I don’t know about that,” Yan Yu spoke at a leisurely pace, “but if it’s true, I wouldn’t be surprised.”

“Why?” Mother Yan inquired.

“Look at my face,” Yan Yu stated matter-of-factly, “Girls these days like guys who are handsome.”

“So shameless!” Mother Yan scolded with a laugh.

“Rather than worrying about that, you should be concerned about other issues,” Yan Yu suggested.

“Like what?”

“Like how to deal with them all trying to outdo each other to win your favor later on.”
