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

Chapter 259 The inner demon arrives quietly
The next morning.

Without having to stay up late to practice dual cultivation with the demon girl, Yan Yu’s sleep quality improved a lot and he had a dreamless night.

He woke up in a daze, wondering why the alarm on his cell phone didn't ring.

Suddenly, he saw someone squatting beside the bed, looking at his face.

Yan Yu suddenly opened his eyes and saw Su Yunjin hurriedly stood up, pretending to fiddle with the plastic bag on the bedside table, and then said in surprise:
"Captain, are you awake? I brought you breakfast."

Yan Yu:………………

Although I was touched by your thoughtfulness in bringing me breakfast, the way you squatted by the bed and stared at me was really scary. I really can't tell whether I should be grateful or scared.

He slowly sat up, rubbed his eyes, and began to eat the breakfast Su Yunjin brought.

White porridge, baked buns, a plate of chopped side dishes, and milk tea in a cup. Although it looked rich, it was actually almost cold. It felt like it had been placed here at least half an hour ago.

So the question is: From the time I put breakfast on the bedside table until I woke up, what was Secretary Su doing during this period?

It’s impossible to think about this question in detail, just like we can’t delve into whether a beautiful girl will go to the toilet. Let’s give each other some decent space.

After breakfast and washing up, Yan Yu took Su Yunjin downstairs and met the monks from the garrison corps who were waiting outside the hotel gate. They were sent to the entrance of the Tianshan Secret Realm.

Due to the previous incident in Changbai Mountain, the entrances to important secret places in the country are now heavily guarded and outsiders are not allowed to enter at will.

If the two of them flew over directly on their swords and could not report the friend-or-foe identification code, they would most likely end up being strafed by anti-aircraft machine guns.

The captain guarding the entrance to the secret realm was named Bo. Yan Yu was not in a hurry to enter the secret realm, but instead asked Captain Bo about the situation:

"Have drones been deployed for reconnaissance?"

"I went in, but all I saw was white."

"Snow-white?"

"It's like the signal is being jammed." Captain Bo showed him the video.

Yan Yu looked carefully and found that the video was not a white snowflake like the old TV that could not receive any signal, but a pure white without any content.

This... doesn't seem like a signal problem, it's more like it's being blocked by some kind of illusion restriction.

Illusionary mind-refining is a traditional Lu-nation practice, and the purer the mind, the less susceptible it is to influences. For example, a demonic woman obsessed with food and drink, or a pretty, useless woman obsessed with pleasure, are both highly resistant to the effects of illusions. Another example is Chen Lingyun, with her complex mindset. Even though she knew she was in an illusion, she found it difficult to calm her mind and see through the visual barrier.

Of course, now that we have reached the entrance to the secret realm, there is no need to call those two idiots over.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Yu and Su Yunjin put on cameras and entered the secret realm.

Passing through the secret realm, you will see endless mountains and towering snow-capped peaks all around you, with no end in sight.

Directly in front of the two people was an extremely high, huge, and magnificent "super mountain". It rose from the ground surrounded by countless mountains, extending upward to an unknown height. Its top was difficult to see, as if it was level with the sky.

Su Yunjin stared at the mountain that looked like a pillar of heaven in amazement, and suddenly couldn't help shivering.

Help, I'm having a megalophobia attack.

Yan Yu was not as sensitive as her, and just tried flying with a sword first.

Sure enough, I can’t control it.

In the mid-to-late-stage Lu Kingdom secret realms, flight restrictions often appear, which in a sense is the watershed between "high-difficulty secret realms" and "normal secret realms." It's like the fact that residential communities with property management security are everywhere, but those that do manage drones are generally quite high-end. Otherwise, what if a drone flies over your balcony and peeks into your bedroom?
The flight restriction is extremely complicated and cumbersome, and ordinary secret realms would not bother to set up such a thing. It can only be said that the owner behind the secret realm must be very particular about pomp and grandeur.

Yan Yu continued to gaze into the distance and saw that the Tianzhu Mountain was extremely steep. Although it was not completely perpendicular to the ground, it was almost ninety degrees.

You definitely can’t climb up by climbing with bare hands.

The restrictions restrict sword flying, cloud climbing, and most other means of taking to the air, such as the flight of birds and monsters, etc. It is equivalent to not allowing you to find another way and only allowing you to take the mountain road.

Next to the mountain gate at the bottom of Tianzhu Mountain, there is a huge standing stone with "Kunlun Tianzhu" engraved on it.

Behind the standing stone is a winding and rugged mountain road that goes around to the back of Kunlun Pillar.

The mountain road was paved with stone steps, and it didn't look like it was difficult to walk on, but there must be some danger.

"Let's go?" Yan Yu turned around and asked.

"Well, let's go." Su Yunjin nodded.

The two of them walked through the mountain gate and climbed the stairs.

After walking for more than ten minutes, we did not encounter any danger. We just saw the mountain road gradually tilting to the right. It should be winding around the pillar of heaven and gradually rising.

"Yunjin, be careful." To prevent her from getting careless, Yan Yu reminded her, "Just because we haven't encountered any enemies here doesn't mean that the rest of the journey will be smooth sailing."

"I know." Su Yunjin was secretly delighted, and simply nodded. In a normal team situation, the captain would just say "Everyone be careful," or even just leave it alone and let Lingyun remind us. How could it be compared to the way he's now only caring about me and focusing on me alone?

Thinking of this, my heart felt as sweet as if I had eaten honey, and even my steps became much more lively and light.

Quietly approach Yan Yu from behind.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yu was always scanning the surroundings with his spiritual sense, so Su Yunjin's actions naturally could not be hidden from him.

"I think what the captain said makes a lot of sense." Su Yunjin said seriously, "It's better for us to stand closer. In case of any emergency, we can take care of each other, right?"

Thinking of Secretary Su's anxious reaction, Yan Yu couldn't help but agree, so he ordered:

"Then come closer to me."

"Okay~"

Is this girl trying to be cute? Yan Yu was a little suspicious, but seeing her vigilant expression as she kept scanning the surroundings, it seemed like he was just being too suspicious.

Forget it, let’s keep going.

The two continued walking for half an hour, and Yan Yu was a little exhausted... physical exhaustion was one aspect, and mental fatigue was another.

If the surrounding scenery had not changed, he would have really thought he had encountered a ghost wall, but looking at the stepped mountain road again, he could not see any end at all, which made people feel a little discouraged.

"Do you want to take a break?" Su Yunjin asked.

"Take a break." Yan Yu took out his cell phone, "I'll set an alarm."

Su Yunjin found a flat place near the steps, took out a napkin to wipe it, and asked Yan Yu to sit down.

The two of them sat on the steps, feeling the cool but not cold mountain breeze, looking at the endless snow-capped mountains in the distance, feeling as if the whole world had become quiet.

Even a little sleepy.

"Yanyu," Su Yunjin suddenly asked, "Do you... sometimes feel that I'm quite aggressive?"

"No." Yan Yu continued to scan the surroundings with his spiritual sense and said, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Su Yunjin crossed her legs like a lady, placed her hands on her knees, and whispered, "I've never been in a relationship before, so I don't know how boys view me. I want to hear your opinion."

This is another clever line of dialogue. It seems to be just "asking what you think of me," but with the premise of "I've never been in a relationship," the implication is incredibly strong.

However, once you tell her "you don't deserve it", she will immediately show an innocent expression, "I haven't confessed to you" "Why are you saying this?"

Yan Yu's mind raced, and he realized that he could only pretend to be dumb and not hear Secretary Su's hint, so he replied:
"I think you're quite good."

"What does 'pretty good' mean?" Su Yunjin stretched out her slender, green onion-like fingers and fiddled with the grass growing in the cracks of the stone steps. "Can you be more specific?"

"She's pretty." Yan Yu said frankly.

Su Yunjin couldn't help laughing, and said in a crisp voice:

"Captain, when you compliment a girl, don't just praise her appearance. It makes you look vulgar and that you only care about appearances."

"Indeed, I remember now." Yan Yu nodded and continued chatting casually, "I remember you once told me that you hope others will pay more attention to your inner self than your outer appearance."

"Yes." Su Yunjin put away her smile and said gently but seriously, "So I also hope that the captain can pay more attention to and appreciate my inner qualities, instead of thinking that I am just a pretty vase."

"I don't think you're a vase."

"I know."

...So, Captain, this might be the reason why I was initially attracted to you.

Su Yunjin thought silently, and gradually felt a little sleepy. She secretly glanced at the profile of Yan Yu beside her.

If I pretend to be asleep and quietly lean my head on his shoulder, will he push me away or will he just let me lean on him?
Otherwise, give it a try?
……

"No." Yan Yu suddenly stood up.

"Ah?!" Su Yunjin jumped up in shock, thinking that the captain had seen through her secret thoughts. Even her voice was trembling, "What, what, what, what, what happened?!"

"I set an alarm on my phone." Yan Yu took out his phone. "It shows that it has rung. Did you hear it?"

"No, no." Su Yunjin also calmed down, "So?"

"There is some kind of perceptual interference that is trying to keep us here and prevent us from moving forward!" Yan Yu said sternly.
