Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 220 How about a beauty trap?
The extended business car was driving smoothly on the road. Lin Ning, Su Yunjin and Xie Ruoxi quietly looked at Anna and her two cousins in the back seat.

Yan Yu mentioned "an international friend," so he was probably referring to the youngest one. The other two looked to be in their thirties, so it seemed unlikely that Yan Yu could call them "friends"... And this person had spoken to Yan Yu before getting in the car. Although this happened outside the car, how could he have hidden it from the eyes of those inside?

Anna was also secretly looking at these three "Southern Little Potatoes".

Although the southern girls were petite, their temperaments were indeed unique. Lin Ning was pure, Su Yunjin was elegant, and Xie Ruoxi... Xie Ruoxi didn't have much of a presence. If anything, she looked like a timid little girl who hadn't grown up yet. I only dared to sneak a peek at her blonde hair through the reflection in the car window.

Since everyone was unfamiliar with each other, no one spoke.

But this did not bother Anna. She quietly took out her phone and sent a message to Yan Yu:
"Will you introduce me to these companions in your car?"

Yan Yu sent back a link.

The Zhenhai Team doesn't have an official website, but that doesn't mean fans can't create their own fan site. The website clearly lists all the Zhenhai Team members, including their names, hometowns, photos, and professional abilities.

Anna used the photos on her phone screen to compare them with the girls in the front row one by one, and confirmed that they were all official members of the Yanyu team.

Yes, she had appeared in the previous live broadcast of the Three Islands Treasure Ship Secret Realm, but there were already double-digit monks from the Lu Kingdom at that time, and she couldn’t remember their faces one by one.

"Who's that person by the window?" Anna continued typing to inquire about Xie Ruoxi's identity, even feeling a little nervous.

She was afraid that Yan Yu would suddenly reply "my girlfriend", and she couldn't guarantee that she could hold back from breaking down.

"The author of this page," Yan Yu replied, "and the agent who helps me manage my fan base."

So Anna felt completely relieved, put the phone into her chest, and showed a relieved expression.

Sophia and Maria stood on either side, watching their cousin laughing foolishly while holding her phone after chatting, and exchanged worried glances again.

I wanted my cousin to use her beauty to get Yan Zhanlong to agree to help the Amur Witch Group, but looking at her... it seemed like she had been silently taken down by the other party.

Since the two parties were not very familiar with each other, there was no conversation in the car until they arrived at the villa door and then they got out of the car silently.

In China, everyone thinks that large villas in the suburbs are large houses that only rich people can afford to live in, but this is not the case abroad. The two cousins were not amazed by the large villa, but instead realized another problem.

"Do they live together?" Sofia asked Anna. "The dragon slayer and the other woman?"

Anna’s face suddenly turned dark: Don’t remind me!
Well, since they were all members of the team, living together wasn't a big deal. In Luosha, there were also many young men and women in the city who shared apartments. Their bedrooms were separate, and they only shared the living room. It didn't mean they had any intimate relationship before... She tried hard to convince herself not to be suspicious.

As soon as she entered the villa, Lin Ning walked towards the kitchen and said:
"I went to cook."

"Please take a seat, I'll make you some tea." Su Yunjin smiled gently.

"Want some snacks?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked Anna. After meeting her, she finally remembered Anna's identity and had a good impression of the blonde girl, so she was willing to share her treasured snacks with her.

"Thank you." Anna nodded.

Everyone sat down on the sofa, speechless.

Sophia and Maria both gave Anna a look, and after taking a deep breath, Anna said to Yan Yu:

"Actually, we went on this business trip to find you..."

She did not hide the presence of the other girls, but simply explained in detail the external threats and military crisis currently facing the Amur Witch Group.

Chen Lingyun listened with a smile and asked Yan Yu in secret:
"What was the situation in the previous life?"

"You're so smart, can't you guess it?" Yan Yu asked her directly. Chen Lingyun thought for a moment and guessed the answer immediately.

The State of Lu has been adhering to the policy of keeping a low profile for sixty years. Although the original intention was to avoid arousing the vigilance and fear of the Western world and to gain a precious period of time to accumulate national strength, the price it paid was naturally the accumulation of strong political inertia in the country - "Never provoke border conflicts without authorization."

From a conservative perspective, both the Amur Witch Coven and the Gilia Bearmen are separatist forces in the north. The ultimate outcome has little to do with the Lu Kingdom… Even more so, if the Lu Kingdom were to send troops, how would the Luosha officials react? Would it undermine the strategic partnership between the two sides? Would the Western world interpret this as a signal that the Lu Kingdom intends to expand its influence abroad?
As long as these questions are not answered, conservatives will have reasons to oppose, and in the end this matter will basically fail - now is a republic without an emperor, and if the civil service group has not reached a consensus, even the prime minister will not be able to act on his own.

Of course, Chen Lingyun had the advantage of Yan Yu's prophetic knowledge, so she could naturally guess based on the fact that "Anna would become a big figure in the future" that in the previous life, the Lu Kingdom chose to refuse to lend a helping hand, and the Amur Witch Group eventually defeated the Gilia Bear People, and might even defeat other surrounding extraordinary separatist forces, and finally unify the entire Northern Continent - then they would not have to have any expectations about what their attitude would be towards their southern neighbors who had watched them die without helping them.

"This is not easy to do." After thinking through the whole process, Chen Lingyun replied succinctly, "I can't convince my father."

Chen Tianming didn't have the advantage of foresight into the future, so how could he believe that the Amur Witch Group could grow into a giant in the Northern Continent? It was impossible. There were absolutely no signs at the moment.

"Here's what I'm going to do," Yan Yu suggested. "Put the flying sword on your neck and tell your father, 'Either support the troops or lose your beloved daughter.' Your father will definitely be convinced by you."

"Haha." Chen Lingyun pretended not to hear and said, "Why do you have to find a way to convince my father to support sending troops? I think a more reasonable approach would be to 'let the Amur Witch Coven know that my father supports sending troops, but he can't defeat the opposition.'"

Yan Yu was silent for a moment, and was suddenly shocked.

Wow, so despicable!

After hearing what Chen Lingyun said, Yan Yu immediately understood: getting the Lu Kingdom to send troops was extremely difficult. Secondly, even if they managed to do it with great difficulty, the Amur Witch Group would owe them a favor, and this favor would be for the entire Lu Kingdom. How could they possibly make Chen Tianming's prestige and let the conservatives share in the profits? It was impossible.

However, if he feigned support for sending troops, only to fail due to conservative opposition, the initial cost would be much less. Once the Amur Witches truly became a major force in the Northland, as in the previous life's worldline, Chen Tianming could seize the opportunity to bring about old scores and severely damage their prestige... This would be a huge profit!
"How dare you say that!" Yan Yu couldn't help but angrily scold Chen Lingyun through voice transmission. "Lu State must make the Amur Witch Group owe a great favor to us, so that there is a possibility of signing a bilateral peace treaty in the future. But if you operate as you do, the result will be that only your father will benefit, and how many people in the northern border will suffer as a result? Have you ever thought about it?"

"I know." Chen Lingyun said slowly, "But it's impossible to send troops, you know that."

"Why not?" Yan Yu sneered, "Go and commit suicide."

"No way~"

"Why not? I'm not asking you to really die. I'm just putting on a show to scare your dad."

"The key is why should I do this? My dad is not stupid, he will definitely be suspicious."

"Then you and Anna should become sworn sisters, and that way you'll have every motivation to help her."

"Instead of asking me to tell him," Chen Lingyun suddenly said, "it's better if you tell him. There's still a chance of success."

"Why?" Yan Yu was puzzled.

"Because the value that Yan Zhanlong's identity can provide is greater than you can imagine." Chen Lingyun said meaningfully.

The two of them were discussing countermeasures in secret. Anna, who knew nothing about this, saw Yan Yu remained silent for a long time and thought that he wanted to refuse but was embarrassed. So she gritted her teeth and stood up and said:
"I'm sorry, this is really difficult for you. Just pretend I never said anything."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave without caring about the expressions of her two cousins.

How could Yan Yu let her leave just because of this misunderstanding? He quickly called out "Wait" and reached out to grab her wrist, trying to hold her back.

However, Anna's weight was much lighter than he expected. She was pulled so hard that she staggered backwards and sat directly in his arms.

At this moment, whether it was Chen Lingyun who was smiling silently, Zhao Yuanzhen who was still carrying snacks, Su Yunjin who came over with tea, Xie Ruoxi who was playing with her phone nearby, or Lin Ning who happened to turn around in the kitchen...

Their eyes all became sharp in an instant.
