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

Chapter 439 It’s Okay, I’ll Wait
After returning to the ancestral home, Lin Ningben was prepared to be questioned and gossiped by relatives.

But surprisingly, the elders did not mention what happened on the roof. Instead, they just asked the two "where did you go to play", "are you hungry now", and "why don't you eat something first".

Didn’t those cousins tell on me?

Lin Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Yan Yu didn't think so. With so many people on the roof at the time, it was impossible that no one hadn't secretly contacted their elders to report the incident.

It was simply that the elders had long considered the two a couple, and a kiss between couples was not a big deal. Furthermore, Lin Ning's sudden departure, unable to withstand the commotion, made everyone even more worried that she would never return, so naturally, they didn't want to bring up any irrelevant issues.

Then, have the feast.

Since the elders no longer mentioned their relationship, Lin Ning's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down and she began to block the wine for Yan Yu. There was an endless stream of people coming to toast General Long Chengfei, and she was worried that everyone would make the captain unhappy, so she hurried to speak up for Yan Yu.

Little did he know that this was seen by Lin's father. Although he didn't say anything, he was secretly proud of it.

Letting the elders take turns to toast was the strategy agreed upon by Lin's father and everyone else. It was to let Yan Yu see Ningning's virtuous side: My daughter knows how to care for her husband. She is completely different from those fairies from other provinces who only care about their parents and ignore their husbands!
Yan Yu didn't notice this, because for a cultivator who had already practiced fasting, drinking a few boxes of wine was not a problem at all. If he wanted to get drunk, he would get drunk. If he didn't want to get drunk, he would circulate his true energy to refine the alcohol, and drinking would be like drinking plain water.

But Ning Ning was so considerate of him, and he was willing to accept this kindness. He didn't want Ning Ning to be embarrassed in front of the elders, so he simply drank a little, said some auspicious words, and gave the elders who came to toast him enough face. As a result, everyone liked Yan Yu more and more, and they thought that someday they would be able to attend the wedding of these two people, which would be a great topic to brag about when they went out!
Look at this girl, Lin Ning. She's beautiful, virtuous, and a cultivator. Standing next to the Flying General of Dragon City, isn't that a match made in heaven?
Since the spirit has revived, it proves that the deity Mazu definitely exists in the world. Take some time during the New Year to pay your respects and pray that these two people will soon be together and have a happy marriage!

The feast continued into the evening and gradually turned into a drinking contest. The elders clinked glasses and competed with each other, while the younger ones retreated upstairs to play cards and games.

Lin Ning finally found an opportunity to take Yan Yu and say goodbye to everyone, "See you next time."

The two of them flew towards Jinling Prefecture on their swords. On the way, Lin Ning casually asked:
"How do you feel this time?"

"It's okay. I enjoyed the meal." Yan Yu said, "Your relatives are very warm and hospitable. It would be better if you didn't look at me with such admiring eyes as if I were a new son-in-law."

"Hmph." At this point, Lin Ning became a little arrogant again and snorted coldly, "I'll explain it to them clearly when I get back. The captain is not my type."

"Oh." Yan Yu smiled, "What type do you like?"

"I..." Lin Ning couldn't answer, and subconsciously said, "I won't tell you."

After a while, seeing that Yan Yu did not ask any further questions, she said cautiously:
"Don't you want to know?"

Yan Yu was speechless: "I asked, and you said you wouldn't tell me. I stopped asking, and you asked me if I wanted to know... There has to be a limit to saying one thing and thinking another, okay? Stop pushing it back and forth, it's very tiring."

He paused for a moment and said:

"I already know."

"Know what?" Lin Ning asked.

"You like the kind who confesses their feelings to you." Yan Yu replied, "You told me that when we were swinging on the roof."

"No," Lin Ning retorted immediately, "What I meant at the time was... Oops! I can't explain it to you clearly! You're so annoying!"

When Lin Daiyu used her trump card "You are so annoying", Yan Yu immediately knew that he could not keep pursuing her, otherwise she would become more and more anxious, more and more angry, and finally explode.

The two crossed the interprovincial border and entered Jiangnan Province. They heard Lin Ning finally think it over and say:
"Actually... the type I really like..."

"You say." Yan Yu said.

"Don't interrupt me." Lin Ning said unhappily. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "It's the person who is willing to tolerate me, take care of me, and accompany me even though he knows my stubbornness, my stubbornness, and my duplicity."

"Are you done?" Yan Yu asked.

"That's all." Lin Ning seemed a little nervous. "What do you think?" "I think this condition is quite broad." Yan Yu said, "Compared to something like being 1.8 meters tall, having a house and a car, a 200,000 yuan gift, and having the house in the woman's name... it's relatively easier to achieve."

"Hmph, I'm talking about dating, not selling myself out," Lin Ning immediately defended herself. "Besides, my conditions aren't! broad! at all! Okay? Pay attention to my preconditions! I wouldn't show my true self to a normal guy. He doesn't even understand my inner self, so how can he be willing to tolerate and understand me?"

"So I have to get to know you first." Yan Yu suddenly realized.

"That's right," Lin Ning said. "If both parties don't know each other well enough, how can they even consider becoming a couple? That's totally inappropriate!"

"Then, Ms. Lin Ning, how many boys around you truly understand your inner self?" Yan Yu asked.

This question seemed to stump Lin Ning. After about ten minutes, she replied unwillingly:
"Just you... okay? Just you."

"It means you are good at pretending in front of other boys." Yan Yu concluded.

"No," Lin Ning immediately denied. "It's just that team activities take up most of my time, leaving me with no channels to interact with other members of the opposite sex besides you. But this doesn't mean that I must be with you. If I want to find a boyfriend, I will definitely find one quickly outside!"

"So you don't want to fall in love now." Yan Yu smiled, "Isn't that the same as me?"

"Not really." Lin Ning was silent for a long time before answering, "It's not that I don't want to talk, I'm just... just waiting."

This topic suddenly became a bit heavy.

Yan Yu didn't know how to respond for a moment, he only heard Lin Ning say with a smile:

"Oh, Captain, don't worry about me. Sometimes I'm just stubborn. Once I've made up my mind, I won't turn back. But that's my own choice. The Captain has his own path, and I have mine. We all have to take responsibility for our own choices."

"Uh." Yan Yu thought to himself, "Why are you getting more and more exaggerated?" "I don't mean to criticize your decision, but your so-called waiting...isn't it a bit too negative?"

"No," Lin Ning said nonchalantly, "While waiting, I'll also repeatedly reaffirm my inner thoughts. Maybe one day I'll decide it's not worth it and change my mind."

Although it was meant to ease the tension, it actually made it even more tense. Yan Yu, having lived two lives and experienced many things, knew that those who readily swore eternal love were often the quickest to change their minds when faced with a crisis; conversely, those who didn't easily make promises were the ones who might truly remain loyal to you for life...

Oh my god, the idea of waiting for a lifetime is too heavy. Let’s stop doing such a scary thing.

The two of them flew back to the Jinling Mansion villa on their swords, only to find Su Yunjin waiting in the living room.

"Yunjin, you haven't slept yet?" Lin Ning asked in surprise.

It's early morning now.

"Yes, I'm waiting for you." Su Yunjin said with a smile, "I'll be relieved when you come back."

After she finished speaking, she turned and went upstairs, leaving Yan Yu and Lin Ning alone, looking at each other in silence.

"Then you should go to bed early too." Yan Yu said.

Lin Ning said goodbye to Yan Yu with a heavy heart, went back to the bedroom, washed up, and lay on the bed, but still couldn't fall asleep.

Really... can you wait?

Won’t it be snatched away halfway?
