Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 557 - 53 Better to Leave the Mistake Unaddressed

Chapter 557: Chapter 53 Better to Leave the Mistake Unaddressed

“Yun Jin is also going to join the Joint Cultivation?” Zhao Yuanzhen frowned and asked.

No, this is the Dual Cultivation Method, isn’t it? Isn’t it a problem to have so many people?

In theory, the String-Pulling Technique indeed allows for multiple people to practice jointly. Once the number reaches a certain limit, the efficiency will start to decrease—the wear and tear on the channel will exceed the benefits it brings.

However, in reality, who would gather such a large group of people for cultivation!

The world is vast and the path of the way is the greatest. Even between husband and wife or Daoist couples, conflicting interests can result in strife under the same roof. Zhao Yuanzhen couldn’t outright say there was an issue with Yun Jin, but subconsciously, she felt unsafe and secretly transmitted her voice to Yan Yu, saying:

“Don’t you think there are too many people?”

“Indeed,” Yan Yu replied, “My bed is almost too crowded to sleep on. But we’re part of the same team, supposed to fight side by side, through life and death. It wouldn’t be right to favor some over others.”

Zhao Yuanzhen was unable to refute.

It is said there are three strong bonds in life, and as the Zhenghai Team had both “gone through trials together” and “carried weapons together,” the team members have very deep feelings for each other, something unimaginable in a place like the Qiansi Sect. Even disciples sharing the same master could not possibly live together, much less fight together, and naturally, there was little affection.

Not to mention, in Zhao Yuanzhen’s view, aside from Chen Lingyun being a little mischievous, the rest of the girls in the Zhenghai Team had no ulterior motives. They weren’t like her fellow senior disciples who schemed against each other to vie for their master’s favor… after all, cultivation resources were provided by the state now.

“If something goes wrong, you’ll be responsible,” she warned Yan Yu.

“Don’t worry, Yun Jin will definitely not betray our trust,” Yan Yu confidently assured her.

So Zhao Yuanzhen smiled, adopting the attitude of a family matriarch, and offered encouraging words to Su Yunjin.

Su Yunjin was slightly puzzled, but remembering Yan Yu’s words that “the technique was provided by Zhao Yuanzhen,” she didn’t think it over too much and earnestly promised that she would absolutely not divulge any secrets.

The group arrived at Yan Yu’s bedroom, only to see the room already completely tidied up, the belongings neatly rearranged, and even the sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases had been changed for new ones. The quilt was also fluffed up.

“What exactly are we going to do?” Su Yunjin asked curiously.

“It’s still sitting meditation and Breathing Exercises, only this time we’ll be joining palms, working together to Circulate the Heavens,” Yan Yu explained. “Next, I’m going to recite a mental method, and you’ll need to remember it.”

He recited the Breathing Chapter of the Silken Bond Technique to Su Yunjin several times in detail, and only after confirming she had memorized it did he sit down on the bed.

Hm?

“What’s wrong?” Lin Ning also sat down on the bed, “Why that expression… hm?”

Both of their expressions changed dramatically simultaneously.

“What’s going on?” Zhao Yuanzhen asked in surprise.

Yan Yu was about to speak when Lin Ning interjected:

“It’s nothing. Oh right, you haven’t changed into pajamas yet, go and change quickly!”

“Why do we need to change into pajamas?” Su Yunjin was somewhat confused, but Lin Ning quickly stood up, pushing everyone out the door.

Once Yan Yu saw everyone was gone, he immediately sprang up from the bed, throwing back the covers, only to find Xie Ruoxi, wearing only her underwear, deep asleep inside, her fair skin shamelessly exposed.

Damn you, beautiful waste! To commit such a shameless act now and frame me!

He pinched Xie Ruoxi under her arms with both hands, pulling her upper body up, then slapped her cheeks left and right with moderate force to wake her up.

“Ah!” Xie Ruoxi finally woke up, crying out, “It wasn’t me! I was drunk! I walked into the wrong room!”

“There’s no alcohol at home, drunk my ass!” Yan Yu snapped, pinching her cheek with one hand, “What are you doing in my room? Harboring ill intentions? Trying to assassinate me?”

Xie Ruoxi’s cheeks were trapped, her cries muffled and on the verge of tears.

Only then did Yan Yu let her go, his gaze drifting downwards.

Hmph, surprisingly well-nourished, worthy of the top cultivator in the Annan Army in my past life, and even in my memories, worthy of being within the top five.

“Hurry back and put on some clothes,” Yan Yu said.

“Oh,” Xie Ruoxi stood up dejectedly and thought to herself, I’m really useless, the captain doesn’t take any notice of me even when I dress like this.

Before she could reach the door, Yan Yu suddenly remembered that although all the girls had gone to change into their pajamas, what if someone happened to leave their room at this time and saw Xie Ruoxi leaving his room dressed like this? That would be hard to explain!

“Don’t go yet,” Yan Yu quickly said.

Xie Ruoxi was instantly overjoyed. The Dragon King’s words flashed through her mind, “If he uses the late hour as an excuse to invite you to stay over, then the other half of the matter will be settled!”

Caught up in the moment and without thinking too much, she assumed Yan Yu had developed a reaction to her, so she turned around, sat directly on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said pitifully,

“Alright then, but I’m afraid of pain, be gentle…”

Before she finished speaking, she received another slap from Yan Yu:

“Horny creature, what gentle? I meant I have clothes in my wardrobe, put on some clothes before you leave!”

“Oh,” Xie Ruoxi immediately fell from heaven to the depths of despair, her heart filled with anticipation and delight transformed into disappointment. She walked silently to the wardrobe, picked a white T-shirt, and put it on.

Yan Yu frowned as he watched her clumsily pull the T-shirt over her head, thinking to himself, how can this waste be so slow?

However, to be fair, Xie Ruoxi, now only wearing a white shirt that was tented at the top revealing her outline, and barely covering the roots of her thighs, did look better than when she was just in her underwear. Indeed, as the saying goes, beauty partially concealed is the most alluring.

“I’m leaving,” Xie Ruoxi said softly, walking to the room’s door when it suddenly opened by itself.

Standing outside in her nightgown, Su Yunjin looked at her with a smile,

“Good evening, Ruoxi.”

Yet her eyes held no hint of a smile, only endless indifference and icy coldness.

Yan Yu might manage to stand the pressure, but Xie Ruoxi couldn’t withstand it; she immediately knelt down with a thump, hugging Su Yunjin’s legs and confessing,

“I was wrong! I was drunk and entered the captain’s room by mistake! I’ve turned over a new leaf and put on clothes!”

“Oh?” Su Yunjin’s expression changed slightly.

Seeing Xie Ruoxi there, her first thought was that Ruoxi had found out about our joint cultivation, and so, while we changed into pajamas, she snuck into the captain’s room to wheedle her way into joining… but she hadn’t expected that Xie Ruoxi would come for a night raid!

Xie Ruoxi only felt the gravity around her becoming increasingly formidable, shivering uncontrollably.

Su Yunjin turned her gaze to Yan Yu, noting that his clothes were not disheveled, and felt a sense of relief.

Yan Yu was somewhat immune to this level of pressure and simply said,

“Death penalty can be exempted, but punishment is unavoidable. Punish her by having her carry the Circulating the Heavens for us tonight without retaining any spiritual energy.”

“Eh?” Su Yunjin was taken aback.

Are you punishing her, or rewarding her?

But as a literature-loving girl with an active mind, she quickly realized: Xie Ruoxi was just feeling guilty at the moment and hadn’t noticed anything unusual, but once she returned to her room, she would realize, me coming to the captain’s room in this nightgown is also not normal… maybe Ruoxi will even mistakenly think I came for a shameless night raid too!

Since I’ve stumbled upon her, I might as well make a mistake and rope Ruoxi in to seal her mouth, except…

“Does this mean Ling Yun is the only one not joining?” Su Yunjin sent a telepathic message to Yan Yu, “Won’t that be a bit unfair?”

“Ling Yun still needs to be evaluated,” Yan Yu replied, “and besides, my bed isn’t big enough to accommodate so many people; let’s set this issue aside for now.”

“Okay,” Su Yunjin had no objections and said gently to Xie Ruoxi, “You can’t do such things again next time. You are a girl and must cherish your purity.”

“I know,” mumbled Xie Ruoxi.

“Go change your clothes,” Su Yunjin paused for a moment, then suddenly realizing Xie Ruoxi was wearing Yan Yu’s clothing, felt a vague sense of displeasure and instructed, “Remember to take a bath before coming over.”

You mustn’t have the captain’s scent on you!

Yet unaware of her thoughts, Xie Ruoxi timidly acknowledged with an “Oh.”
