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

Chapter 434: Approaching the New Year Holiday
As the end of the month approached, the aftermath of the Ligong Secret Realm gradually subsided.

The Superhero Alliance and European countries negotiated another big deal, signing more than 300 superheroes at one time to make up for the previous losses in the secret realm of the palace.

Western audiences also quickly forgot the old superheroes they had admired, been obsessed with, and killed by Lu Guolongcheng Feijiang, and began to worship these new superheroes instead - it's not their fault for being forgetful, after all, the history of ancient Roman games proves that what the audience is keen on is not a specific victorious gladiator, but violence and blood.

The situation in Sakura Empire was more complex. Due to their consistent policy of cultivating elites, a significant amount of resources were concentrated in Kyoto's Onmyoji Temple. While local Onmyoji Temples aggressively accepted registrations from civilian Onmyoji, they were only able to access limited resources. Consequently, resentment towards the headquarters had already built up among the local Onmyoji.

Due to the journey to the secret realm outside the palace, the Kyoto Onmyoji suffered heavy losses and had to recruit personnel from the local areas to supplement the headquarters. This seemed to ease the conflict between Kyoto and the local areas and provide a stepping stone for local Onmyoji to advance, but the influx of a large number of rebellious and unruly local Onmyoji into the Kyoto headquarters also sowed hidden dangers and foreshadowing for the future.

In the Ewhawon of Goryeo, with Gyeongbokgung Palace officially awarding Park Changmin the medal, the "future Goryeo Sword God" finally established his position as the chief underground master of Ewhawon, just like the trajectory of his fate in his previous life... On the contrary, Liu Longtao, the King of Beijing, was actually ranked below Yan Yu in this life, which makes people sigh at the complexity and changeability of fate.

In Lu Nation, the Dragon Soaring and Zhenhai teams, who had participated in the Ligong Secret Realm battle, were given a month-long vacation. As for the Fire Phoenix and Qing'an teams, who hadn't played in the Ligong Secret Realm, they participated in a simulated competition in a secret realm in southern Jing later this month, arranged by the National Monks Competition Alliance.

Although it was the Qing'an team's home game, due to the absence of vice-captain Li Minghu, they were defeated by the Fire Phoenix team. As a result, the call for the introduction of a substitute sixth man system was so loud that the higher-ups had to announce that "it is already under study and preparation."

All in all, January passed quietly. People quickly turned their attention to the Spring Festival travel rush, annual leave, travel, visiting relatives and friends, and other miscellaneous matters, temporarily ignoring the monks' affairs.

The members of the Zhenhai team also started preparing New Year's goods, and confirmed with the school the procedures for the New Year holidays, etc.

"Ningning asked you to go on February 2st?" Su Yunjin said thoughtfully, "Then come to my house on the 1nd, is that okay?"

"Okay." Yan Yu agreed, thinking that it would be just right to go for two consecutive days. The experience gained from meeting Ningning's parents would be useful in meeting Yunjin's parents next time.

Su Yunjin smiled gently and beautifully. Of course, she wouldn't tell Yan Yu that she had chosen February 2nd to prevent Yan Yu from being invited to stay for a few more days after having dinner at Lin Ning's place on February 2st.

Love is like this, you have to do whatever it takes! Without scheming, you will fail! I'm sorry, Ningning, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame it on you and me falling in love with the same person... She whispered in her heart.

In the kitchen on the other side, Xie Ruoxi, who was chatting with Lin Ning, suddenly asked in surprise:

"Ningning wants to invite the captain to dinner at home?"

"It's not me who's treating." Lin Ning said helplessly, "It's my dad who's treating."

"Then..." Xie Ruoxi was stuck for a moment, "But if we go to eat during the New Year holiday, isn't that the New Year's Eve dinner? Isn't it just about going home for the New Year and bringing your boyfriend to meet your parents?"

"Stop, stop talking!" Lin Ning suddenly became embarrassed and angry. "My dad said it was to thank the captain for taking care of me during this period! Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, so let it be."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Xie Ruoxi didn't say anything, but she was secretly thinking about it.

Should I also invite the captain to my house for dinner...

Forget it. If my parents share my dark history in front of the captain, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help but send a thunderbolt to my head.

She returned to the living room with a worried look on her face. Seeing Zhao Yuanzhen eating fruit while watching TV, she suddenly asked curiously:
"Sister Zhao, will you treat the captain to a meal this New Year?"

"Why should we invite him to dinner?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked puzzledly.

"Because..." Xie Ruoxi was about to say, "Because Ningning also invited the captain," but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly felt a chill, as if something extremely bad would happen if she said it out loud.

"Speaking of which, this is a problem." Zhao Yuanzhen pondered.

What should we do during the Chinese New Year this time?
In the past, when I was a disciple of Qiansi, every New Year, the master would call his disciples together to practice magic and test their skills.

Those who pass the test will be rewarded with a pot of wine; those who fail will be whipped, and it is the ghost whip that is famous for its cruel punishment. The pain can penetrate the flesh and reach the soul. The pain will be remembered for the rest of your life.

Now on this earth, it is definitely impossible to expect Master to organize another New Year's party. What should I do?
Forget it, I'll ask the little thief. After all, he's the one I'm closest to now. "Where are you going for the New Year?" Yan Yu was puzzled when Zhao Yuanzhen came over and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"I want to go eat something delicious." Zhao Yuanzhen replied immediately.

"Then go eat something delicious." Yan Yu waved his hand impatiently, "You can eat wherever you want, it has nothing to do with me."

"But most shops are closed during the Lunar New Year," Zhao Yuanzhen said. "Ningning also has to go home to celebrate the Lunar New Year with her parents, so she can't cook for me."

"Then don't eat." Yan Yu said, "You won't starve to death anyway."

"But I will be sad," said Zhao Yuanzhen.

"What does your sadness have to do with me?" Yan Yu asked curiously.

Zhao Yuanzhen was speechless and secretly resentful:

How despicable it is for the little thief to say such heartless and ungrateful words as "Your sadness has nothing to do with me". How despicable it is!

I have remembered this grudge. If I give birth to children in the future, I will definitely bring them by my side and teach them to love their mother more than their father. I will even tell the little thief, "What does my father's affairs have to do with me," so that the little thief can also taste the feeling of being unkindled by those close to him!

Taking note of this silently, the demon girl suppressed her anger and smiled charmingly. She hugged Yan Yu's arm and said coquettishly:

"Alas~ Given the relationship between you and me, how could you say such inhumane words?"

"What is the relationship between us?" Yan Yu asked with a frown.

"Daoist companion," Zhao Yuanzhen said delicately, "Even if it's just a relationship of practicing together, then it's reasonable for me to visit your family during the New Year, right?"

Yan Yu fell silent. He had actually been planning to let the demon girl from the Demon Sect come to his home for the New Year. He had done so for no other reason than to keep her under surveillance and not let her run wild, lest she go on a rampage and cause trouble.

Don't be fooled by her silly appearance. In fact, she has a high IQ, she is just too lazy to think.

In her previous life, she was the Yuanzhen Demon Emperor. She would debate with people online, and when she couldn't win the argument, she would go offline and open a box to kill people. It can be seen that although she has a pure heart, children are the most cruel and do not take human life seriously at all.

If I wasn't around to supervise him, he might be queuing outside to buy a milk tea, and someone might cut in front of him, and after a few arguments, he might just kill him - it sounds outrageous, but it's also normal for Demon Emperor Yuanzhen.

"You can visit my family, of course." Yan Yu said calmly, "But you have to prepare some gifts, you can't come empty-handed."

Zhao Yuanzhen became distressed: I don’t know what your family likes, so what should I give them?
food?

She was thinking hard, but unexpectedly Su Yunjin was watering the potted plants in the distance and happened to hear Yan Yu's last words.

Sister Zhao is going to visit the captain’s home during the New Year?

Well, that's not a bad idea.

Speaking of which, I should also build a good relationship with the captain's family. Especially my sister Jingjing. If she can say a few good words for me in front of the captain, the captain's favorability will increase faster.

In this case, we should take some time after the first day of the Lunar New Year to visit the captain’s family and capture them!
