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

Chapter 291 Saving People Is Not a Loss
While Li Minghu was being severely scolded by his mother in the room, Yan Yu also stood up from the sofa and began to wander around leisurely.

When he was really rising to power in his previous life, Li Minghu had already sacrificed himself... Or to be more precise, it was because of Li Zhaojiang's rebellion that the higher-ups became extremely suspicious and wary of the cultivators, which to some extent greatly promoted the special military projects of the "mortal cultivators" later on.

Of course, Yan Yu is more inclined to believe that "mortal cultivators" will appear in this life as well.

After all, if left unattended, the gap in strength between monks and mortals will become larger and larger, and pinning social stability on the character of the monks themselves is not a reliable behavior.

In his previous life, Yan Yu was a "mortal cultivator" and developed his own tactical system, but in many aspects he actually borrowed from Li Minghu's style of play.

The Valkyrie cannot fight for long due to her physical defects, so she has to use a lot of delicate operations to enhance the effectiveness of her attacks. The mortal cultivators also have the same problem with their endurance. So when Yan Yu saw the manuscript left by the Valkyrie for the first time, he felt like he had found a treasure and studied it all night long.

Without the Valkyrie, there would be no "ordinary warrior" Yan Yu!
In a sense, it can even be said that he "grew up drinking the milk of the Valkyrie" in his previous life. Although this rhetorical metaphor is a bit vulgar, it is not an exaggeration.

Of course, Li Minghu has not become a Valkyrie in this life. Even if he knew the whole story, he would not recognize Yan Yu as his disciple.

But it didn't stop Yan Yu from respecting her and wanting to know more about her.

He looked around the living room. There was a dehumidifier in the corner, and a few plates of leftover lunch dishes were placed on the table, covered with a gauze cover. The refrigerator was covered with various refrigerator magnets, including Ultraman and Kamen Rider, Sailor Moon, and Cardcaptor Sakura.

It has a very vintage feel in every aspect.

The corridor on the side of the living room leads to the bedrooms of Li's parents, Li Minghu and Li Zhaojiang.

Yan Yu walked to the door and took a look. Li Minghu's bedroom door was not closed. There was a summer mat on the bed, covered with a mosquito net. The walls were covered with various awards, including those for being a three-good student, being in the top ten in grade, being an outstanding class leader, and winning first prize in a drama performance competition.

The Valkyrie can also perform drama? However, given her physical condition, she really can't participate in any sports activities, so participating in drama is a natural choice... It's the same reason why Chen Lingyun chose to play chess instead of basketball in junior high school.

The sound of a door opening was heard behind him. Li Minghu walked out of his mother's bedroom and looked at Yan Yu standing at the door of his room in surprise, but he quickly calmed down and said:
"Go in and sit down?"

"Yeah." Yan Yu didn't feel embarrassed about being caught, but just calmly accepted the invitation.

The two walked into the room. Next to the window was her desk, covered with a huge glass panel.

Under the glass plate were various photos, including her childhood photos, photos of her and Li Zhaojiang as siblings, family photos and three generations living together, as well as some food stamps, newspaper clippings and the like.

"Most of the things in this room were moved from my hometown," Li Minghu explained, "so many things look a bit old-fashioned."

She brought a stool to Yan Yu. It had no backrest, was painted brown, and had table legs fixed to the stool with nails - it was indeed an old item.

"It looks like no one has lived here for a long time. There's a smell." Yan Yu smelled a faint musty smell in the room...or perhaps it was the smell of damp dust.

"It was originally intended for me to stay there," Li Minghu replied, "but A Jiang and I rarely go home."

She propped up the mirror on the desk and began to comb her split ends.

"So what did your mother say?" Yan Yu asked.

"I've explained it," Li Minghu said calmly. "My mother still doesn't quite believe it. I'm getting annoyed, so I'll just let her be."

"Your mother seems to really want you to find a partner soon." Yan Yu joked with her, "It must be because your brother is in a relationship. Now that her son has found a partner, she's urging her daughter to find one."

"Well, maybe." Li Minghu looked carefully in the mirror and continued, "This kind of thing can't be rushed."

Yan Yu also looked at her in the mirror: she had delicate eyebrows, thick hair, and fair skin. She had the typical pretty face of a Hong Kong movie heroine, and her figure was also slender and graceful, showing her youthfulness.

But to be honest, the charm of the Valkyrie does not lie in her appearance, but in her previous life where she burned her life to stop the Southern Alliance single-handedly with a sword, killed the Witch King with one sword, and split the sea with one sword to repel the enemy... Just thinking about it makes people yearn for it.

There are beautiful girls everywhere, but there is only one Valkyrie in the whole country of Lu!

"Anyway, I'm really sorry to bother you this time." Li Minghu put down the mirror, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What you said before still counts, right?"

"what?"

"That's it..." She seemed to find it difficult to speak, looking out the window, and whispered, "You said, if one day I feel that I am about to die, then..." "Yeah." Yan Yu nodded and said, "It counts."

"Okay then." Li Minghu paused for a moment, smiled faintly, stood up and said, "Then let's go back. Don't let them worry."

You mean to avoid being discovered by them? Yan Yu did not expose her whitewashing, but just stood up as well:
"Let's go back."

This girl is indeed as her mother said, thoughtful and opinionated - this is also another side of the Valkyrie that I didn't know in my previous life.

Good.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Li, the two of them took off from the balcony on their swords and flew towards the villa.

Yan Yu keenly noticed that the atmosphere seemed to have subtly changed... If he had to describe it, the "psychological distance" between Li Minghu and himself seemed to have subtly narrowed.

Maybe her mother said something that made her like me more?
Yan Yu's guess was not wrong. Although Li Minghu seemed calm at this moment, he was actually a little upset.

Earlier in the bedroom, Li Ma said to her:

"... Your elementary school teacher, Mr. Jiang, told me you were too cold and no one wanted to be your friend. Things got better in junior high, but it wasn't that you were willing to open up, it was that you learned how to hide your inner thoughts. You've been overly mature since childhood, and coupled with your poor health, you always felt you didn't have much time left, and you didn't want to be a burden to your friends or family, right?"

"Don't be so quick to refute me. Let me tell you, science and technology are becoming increasingly advanced. Diseases that were previously incurable may one day be curable. Besides, you're a cultivator now. Everyone at school is saying that your generation will achieve immortality. How could a simple case of pulmonary insufficiency be incurable?"

"Compared to your health, your personality is what I'm most worried about. I'm afraid that by then you'll get used to being a lone ranger and still be unwilling to interact deeply with others... It's rare that there's a boy you don't dislike, so why don't you try to get along with him first? I think Yan Yu is a good person. If you think it's too much trouble for me to bring him home to explain to me, he's willing to give you face..."

Li Minghu could refute the rest of the sentence, but she couldn't refute the last sentence, "He was willing to give you face." She couldn't do such a shameless thing as to insist on saying it never happened when she clearly owed someone a favor.

Maybe I can give him some compensation...but what can I use as compensation?
"Yanyu." Li Minghu said, "I owe you a favor this time."

"Oh, sure." Yan Yu pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Then how do you plan to pay it back?"

"What do you want?" Li Minghu asked softly.

Although she looked calm on the surface, she was subconsciously nervous in her heart. What if he said, "I don't want to wait anymore, you be my girlfriend now", how should I respond?
"Well, I don't seem to have any needs." Yan Yu thought for a while, "However, I am usually the one who practices swordplay with Lin Ning in the team. She should be getting used to my fighting style soon. Can you practice with her for a while?"

Li Minghu laughed dumbly and replied:

"Of course, but sword training benefits both parties, so it can't be considered returning a favor."

"Then just owe it to me for now and we'll talk about it next time." Yan Yu said.

Considering my previous suspicion that she had grown fond of me, if I confessed my feelings to her now, there might be a chance of success.

But Yan Yu actually had no intention of pursuing the Valkyrie. His goal from the beginning to the end was to prevent her from sacrificing herself to a tragic fate in her previous life. He saved people just to hear them say "thank you, you are such a good person", so how could he sacrifice himself in return?

Even if it was the so-called agreement to "have a love affair before death", in fact he just wanted to stop her from dying.

It's impossible to pursue her, not in this lifetime.

Of course, if the Valkyrie is finally moved and wants to pledge herself to him, then we can leave it alone and discuss it later...

Yan Yu was thinking about this when he suddenly saw that they had reached their destination. He lowered the sword light and descended with Li Minghu.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he saw Lin Ning standing at the door of the villa with an unhappy look on his face and a metal spatula in his hand.

"It's almost dinner time, where have you been?" She looked at Li Minghu, then stared at Yan Yu, and asked in a somewhat dangerous tone, as if she was a wife who had caught her husband having an affair with his mistress.

Yan Yu was about to explain when he suddenly felt that the breath of Lin Ning was a little heavy, and the mere presence of it in his face made him feel suffocated.

Wow, you can do this too?
