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

Chapter 331 Are You Good at Avoiding Punishment?

Yan Yu remained silent and filled Xie Ruoxi's glass.

Xie Ruoxi became more and more complacent, thinking that the commander-in-chief was supporting me and the captain was pouring wine for me. Could it be that the era now belongs to me, Xie Xianzun?
From now on, I am the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and on earth!!!
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She wanted to step on the wine table and howl a few times. But everyone was here, so she couldn't be too unrestrained. She drank the wine Yan Yu poured for her in one gulp, and boasted to her parents and relatives with a beaming face:
"When we attacked the Black Dragon Island Secret Realm, there were thousands of Onmyojis on the opposite side. I stood alone at the back to hold the line. They didn't even dare to attack me."

"Thousands of people?" Xie's mother was very nervous. "Then you..."

She was about to say, "Then you must be careful," but then she remembered that it had already happened.

"It's okay." Xie Ruoxi said nonchalantly, "I took care of them all by myself."

Everyone fell silent. Could this be true? Was this happening in some parallel universe?

"Ruoxi is amazing." Auntie raised her glass in the background and said with a forced smile, "Ruoxi has been very brave since she was little. I remember when she was in elementary school, her teacher said she was the only one in the class who disobeyed the rules..."

Everyone remained silent. Auntie, if you don't know how to speak, please don't speak, okay?

"Ahem." Xie Ruoxi coughed and continued boasting, "How about we talk about the defense of the southern border? Several times, the team was on the verge of being wiped out, and it was all thanks to my thunder magic that we managed to turn the tables. The most dangerous time was when we faced the Witch King. With one attack, half of our team fell, and I had to use all my strength to force him back."

The girls all lowered their heads to eat, trying to hide the embarrassment on their faces.

I only heard Father Xie nod and say:
"Well, defending the country is a good thing."

"No matter if it's the Onmyoji of Sakura or the sorcerer of the Southern Territory, they are no match for me!" Xie Ruoxi said proudly after drinking too much. "With my cultivation aptitude, I will sooner or later become the number one cultivator in the country, the strongest in Lu Country... No, the strongest in the world!"

"You've had too much to drink." Yan Yu calmly took her wine glass away, "Eat more."

"I'm not drunk, I..." Xie Ruoxi was about to throw a tantrum, but when she met Yan Yu's calm eyes, the fire of arrogance in her heart suddenly died down.

I am the strongest in the world? No... that's not right.

I'm just a pure, cute, weak and helpless Xixi, hey~
She quickly restrained her expression, lowered her head and pretended to be obedient and docile, only to hear Yan Yu say again:

"Uncle and aunt, did you hear that? Xie Ruoxi is now one of the most powerful cultivators in the country, so her safety cannot be neglected. You two are her parents, and according to the rules, you need to be protected by the military government."

"We have already contacted the Annan Army, and they should be able to take you two to live in the Xingcheng Military Compound later."

"Ah?" Xie's parents were caught off guard when they heard the news. "Are you going to move to Star City?"

"We originally wanted to arrange it in Baoqing Prefecture," Yan Yu said calmly. "The Annan Army believes that the Baoqing Prefecture's soldiers are not strong enough. Given Comrade Xie Ruoxi's strength, her family requires a higher level of security treatment. Therefore, the initial plan is to arrange it in Xingcheng."

"Oh, oh..." The two elders didn't know how to respond. If it came to moving, they would definitely not want to, but Yan Yu used his superiors to intimidate them, and the old couple didn't know what to do, so they could only agree blankly.

With the moving incident and Xie Ruoxi's restraint, the second half of the banquet became a bit dull.

After the meal, Yan Yu asked to stay overnight, but was politely declined by Xie's father and mother.

They had not originally planned to stay here for a night, as they were afraid of burdening their daughter, so they bought return tickets for the same day in advance.

On the platform at the station, Auntie mustered up her courage again, approached her cousin, and said with a smile:

"Ruoxi has really made progress this time, that..."

Mother Xie glanced at her calmly and interrupted her, asking:

"Aren't you going to see your daughter?"

"Well, she said she was on a business trip, so we won't go." The aunt was interrupted by her and could only find a reason to explain, then retreated back to her husband.

But secretly, he made up his mind to make his daughter, who worked and lived in Jinling, become friends with Xie Ruoxi.

Because of the grudges she had over the past decade, even if she changed her attitude 180 degrees now, Xie's father and mother probably wouldn't pay much attention to her.

But my daughter Qianqian had a pretty good relationship with Xie Ruoxi when she was little, and she also had another cousin, Wenwen. The three of them often played together during the summer vacation... Xie's father and mother refused to be flattered by me, but Xie Ruoxi wouldn't ignore Qianqian, right?

Thinking of this, she stopped bothering Xie's mother and silently took out her cell phone to send a message to her daughter.

Yan Yu and his group returned home and went to wash and change clothes. In the bathroom, Yan Yu was brushing his teeth when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He went to open the door with a toothbrush in his mouth, and saw Xie Ruoxi standing outside the door timidly, looking like a pitiful big rabbit who wanted to beg for mercy but didn't dare. He frowned immediately.

What the hell... Weren't you quite arrogant at the table just now? Why did you return to your original form right after coming back?

So our support for you this time was all in vain, right?

"Um, can I come in?" Xie Ruoxi asked cautiously.

"Come in." Yan Yu said vaguely, "Wait until I finish brushing my teeth."

He went back to the bathroom, brushed the rest of his teeth, lowered his head to spit out the toothpaste foam, and immediately picked up a glass of water.

It was handed to me by Xie Ruoxi.

Faced with her obvious attempt to please him, Yan Yu sighed inwardly, took the cup of water, rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth with a towel, turned around and left the bathroom, saying:

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Captain, I did something wrong." Seeing Yan Yu sitting beside the bed, Xie Ruoxi immediately knelt down and hugged Yan Yu's legs. "I got too carried away this time. Please don't torture me, okay?"

Yanyu:? ? ?
Why the fuck are you kneeling down again?! Kneeling down again! You're such a hopeless case...

He was about to kick her in the back in anger, but suddenly realized that Xie Ruoxi was not kneeling - she was actually squatting and hugging his thighs, like a big rabbit, with her hind legs folded up under her buttocks and her two front legs resting on him.

"Stand up and talk first." Yan Yu said impatiently.

Xie Ruoxi obediently stood up and sat next to Yan Yu, looking down at the floor, trembling with fear.

"Why are you getting carried away?" Yan Yu asked indifferently.

"Because I was suppressed so harshly in the past." Xie Ruoxi was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "Captain... From childhood to adulthood, whether at home or at school, I've always been invisible and invisible to everyone."

"Everyone only cares about who has good grades, who comes from a wealthy family, and who is good at making friends. Look at me, my grades are terrible, my family is poor, and I have a slight social anxiety that makes me afraid to speak out loud. Who would care about a loser like me? Seriously..."

As she spoke, she thought of her humble and pitiful life over the past years, and began to wipe away her tears.

But Yan Yu was unmoved, because this beautiful loser had cried too many times in the past - she was born with more developed tear glands than ordinary people, and crying might not be because of breaking down, she might just be venting her emotions, or trying to soften herself, anyway, just ignore it for now.

"I..." Xie Ruoxi choked up, "The reason I like the anime world is that after I reached the third year of junior high school, my appearance improved and boys started calling me pretty... Captain, you know, my looks are probably my only asset. In this world, only the anime world is purely about looks..."

"Well, so what?" Yan Yu asked coldly.

"So, what I actually like is not the 2D world, but the feeling of being valued." Xie Ruoxi sniffed hard and continued sobbing, "The reason I want to be a cosplayer is not because I really like the original character, but because I hope that the 2D fans who like this original character will pay attention to me, watch me, and like me..."

Lack of love.

This word suddenly popped up in Yan Yu's mind.

But before he could think about it any further, he saw Xie Ruoxi had turned her head and stared at him.

Her face was full of tears, and she looked delicate and pitiful, but her expression was serious and solemn... In fact, since Yan Yu knew Xie Ruoxi, he had never seen her show such an expression.

How can a pretty loser be serious? Where is your personality?

"Captain." Xie Ruoxi said softly, "I've always wanted to thank you."

"Even when I was at my worst, you didn't give up on me. You still patiently paid attention to me, watched me, and liked me."

"I don't like you." Yan Yu denied, "Don't confuse me with your fans. The reason I trained you is simply because you have excellent talent for cultivation..."

"But I like you." Xie Ruoxi said suddenly.
