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

Chapter 424 Steak and Treatment

After handing over the Liang Yi Micro Dust Sword to his superiors for research and compilation, Yan Yu had a new vacation - because he did not have two swords at hand, he could not exert his maximum strength, so except for the urgent tasks that "he must do", Li Weiguo would definitely wait for the Liang Yi Micro Dust Sword to be returned before considering letting Yan Yu fight. This is also a conclusion that can be easily inferred.

Therefore, Yan Yu can take advantage of this period of time to continue planning the team's next training plan.

Su Yunjin needed to collect rootless water to prepare for his Water Dao transformation. Lin Ning had more to learn, including the Fenyun Bagua Step and the Two-handed Sword Controlling Technique, both of which she needed to master as quickly as possible.

Chen Lingyun had to wait for the Ox-Head and Horse-Face from the Dingbei Army, and continue to study the method of the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Seal; Xie Ruoxi didn't have anything new to learn, but his foundation in all aspects was too poor, so he had to make up for it quickly.

As for the demonic witch Zhao Yuanzhen, let's put training aside for now and quickly upgrade the two puppets - he didn't bring his puppet with him on this trip to southern Xinjiang, but left it to Zhao Yuanzhen for transformation.

Having said that, during the trip to the palace, he played the puppet as his trump card in front of the global live broadcast and killed the unsuspecting Sendō Kagamine. There is no need to keep it strictly confidential afterwards.

Use it when needed in the future.

Yan Yu was typing on his phone, organizing his to-do plans into notes, when he suddenly heard Lin Ning shout:

"Okay, come and eat!"

As for Zhao Yuanzhen, who had vowed to help her "beat Yan Yu", as the aroma from the kitchen became stronger and stronger, he could no longer wait and rushed over, determined to be the first to eat the first piece of stewed steak out of the pot.

Yan Yu sat up from the sofa and saw Xie Ruoxi and Su Yunjin coming down from the second floor. Lin Ning in the kitchen hugged Zhao Yuanzhen's waist tightly, preventing her from lifting the lid of the stew pot, and shouted:

"Simmer for another minute! Sister Zhao, simmer for another minute!"

"Captain." Xie Ruoxi greeted him.

"You look a little unwell." Su Yunjin said to him through voice transmission, "I'll go to your room later to check on you."

This is another small detail of Secretary Su's: if she goes to her room to check, then Yan Yu may say "Okay, I have to go back" after a while; but if she checks in Yan Yu's room, then it is up to her to decide how long the two of them can stay together.

Yan Yu didn't see through her little trick and readily agreed.

The last person to come down was Chen Lingyun. The girl was still in her pajamas and seemed to have just woken up from a nap. She rubbed her eyes as she walked down the stairs, and glanced at Yan Yu without saying a word.

Yan Yu came to the dining table and watched Lin Ning, wearing large heat-insulating gloves, bring over the stew pot, which contained a bone-in steak full of soup.

"Everyone, try it. This is my first time making it," she said modestly. "I don't know if it tastes good."

Zhao Yuanzhen had already opened the lid, quickly picked up a piece and put it into his bowl, then began to chew it wildly like a ferocious hungry dog.

The girls all reached out their chopsticks to pick up some, and Yan Yu also tried a piece, which tasted good.

"How is it?" Lin Ning looked at him expectantly, with an inexplicable light in her eyes. "Give me your evaluation."

"It's tender and tasty," Zhao Yuanzhen replied, "but the amount of meat is too small. I'll have to be more careful when choosing the raw materials next time."

"I didn't ask you!" Lin Ning asked unhappily.

"Ningning stewed this steak especially for you." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "She heard that you were coming back today, so she went to the market early this morning to buy some vegetables."

"No!" Lin Ning was immediately shocked and quickly defended herself, "Of course the steak is stewed for everyone! It's just that I think since the captain is injured, he needs a lot of high-quality protein during his recovery, so I chose to make this pot of beef stew. But it can't be said that I'm cooking it specially for the captain, right? If I did, I wouldn't bring it to the table. Wouldn't it be better to send it directly to the captain's room? Of course, I won't do that!"

Yan Yu ignored her nagging self-defense and just said:

"It's delicious. I'll have another bowl."

"I'll help you serve it." Su Yunjin stood up.

"Hey, I'm telling you." Lin Ning wanted to kick him, but was afraid of hurting him, so she could only say angrily, "I didn't make this just for you, you have to know that!"

"I know." Yan Yu took the small bowl from Su Yunjin, "Thank you, Yunjin."

Lin Ning became even angrier upon seeing this: "What about me? Aren't you going to thank me?"

"I wanted to thank you, too," Yan Yu replied, "but this pot of beef wasn't made just for me."

The girls burst into laughter, while Lin Ning immediately showed a distraught expression. However, Chen Lingyun felt that it was not enough and added, "Since we did this for everyone, let's all thank Ning Ning together."

"Thank you, Ningning." Xie Ruoxi didn't hear it and immediately responded, "Sister Ning's beef is the best."

"Thank you, Ningning." Su Yunjin also said with a smile, "You've worked hard."

Lin Ning forced a smile. It wasn't that she didn't want to hear everyone's thanks, but the person she wanted to hear didn't say...

The phone next to him suddenly lit up, and a new message popped up on it:

[Conquering People with Virtue]: No matter who you make it for, it is indeed delicious. Thank you Ningning.

Lin Ning's mood immediately improved, and she waved her hand and said:
"Don't thank me, don't thank me. I cook for you every day, why are you being so cheesy? Eat, eat... Sister Zhao! Eat slowly! Save some for everyone!"

Zhao Yuanzhen hadn't said a word since the beginning, but had been working hard. There was already a pile of leftover bones beside the bowl.

Everyone hurriedly picked up their chopsticks, ate and drank, and soon finished the whole pot of steak.

After eating and drinking, everyone went to the sofa to rest and have fun. Su Yunjin went to the second floor and sent a message to Yan Yu alone:
"Come up and let me help you take a look."

"Yeah." Yan Yu followed him upstairs.

The two came into the room and heard Su Yunjin say:

"Okay, take off your clothes."

Yan Yu stripped off his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts, revealing his muscular body. Su Yunjin concentrated her mantra essence on her five fingertips and carefully stroked his skin. Suddenly, her heartbeat quickened subtly, and her face heated up.

"Yes, a lot of muscle fibers are broken." She suppressed her erotic emotions and said calmly, "It's probably caused by overexertion."

"In the section about climbing the ladder, the earth's magnetic field is used instead of gravity to amplify the force," Yan Yu replied, "so every step puts a great strain on the body."

"I understand." Su Yunjin paused for a moment, then continued, "Logically, the damage caused by high gravity should be concentrated in the lower limbs and cardiovascular system, but why are your arms also suffering from significant damage?"

"Oh, didn't Tang Xiaolian from the Fire Phoenix Team go with me?" Yan Yu explained casually, "She was directly crushed during the ladder climbing section, and later I helped carry her up, so her arm must have been injured."

"I see. That makes sense." Su Yunjin began massaging and kneading him, injecting Runzhu Zhenyuan into the injured area to gently repair the tissue. At the same time, he asked, "Speaking of this, I'm actually a little curious."

"Captain, I understand that you want to explore that secret place alone and don't want us to be in danger because of your personal affairs. But why did you bring Tang Xiaolian with you?"

“…Yunjin.”

"what happened?"

"Has the gravity in the room increased?"

"Don't be ridiculous. This isn't some kind of ladder to heaven." Su Yunjin quickly dissipated his pressure and said gently, "I don't mean to blame you, Captain. You must have carefully considered and thought through everything before deciding who to take to the secret realm. I just want to know why."

"Well, actually, I didn't think about it much." Yan Yu said with a wry smile, "I couldn't find a place over there, and Tang Xiaolian happened to be a local, so I asked her to help me."

"I understand." Su Yunjin said calmly, "In other words, she was brought along because she could help the captain."

"Yes." Yan Yu suddenly realized something and quickly said, "I'm not saying that you can't help, I just feel that I can't cause you any trouble. After all, this is not a government-assigned task."

"But the captain is injured," Su Yunjin continued. "Exploring a secret realm alone inevitably involves the risk of injury. What will we do next time we encounter a level like this?"

"Well, I'll try to be careful then?" Yan Yu answered tentatively.

"Take me with you next time." Su Yunjin smiled beautifully and said gently but firmly, "If you encounter this situation, I can help you treat your injuries in time."

"We don't know what will happen next time," Yan Yu explained, "and we're not sure if there will be a next time..."

"Captain, all you need to do now is agree to it." Su Yunjin interrupted him.

Oops, gravity strikes again!
