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

Chapter 453 Absolutely impossible

The Yan family’s New Year’s Eve dinner is very simple.

The main reason is that there are only five of us, and we can’t finish the meal even if it’s too sumptuous, so we just keep it simple.

Zhao Yuanzhen has been acting very humble these days, as if he was addicted to it. He even personally served duck soup to Yan's father and mother, and left the duck legs for Yan Jing and Yan Yu, and then he started to gnaw on the duck wings.

Yan Yu didn't take it seriously and enjoyed the duck leg calmly; Yan Jing, however, was stunned and thought to herself that something was wrong.

These methods are actually not very clever. She can do it more cleverly, but the feeling it gives to Yan's father and mother is completely different.

It's natural for a daughter to be filial to her parents, but for a bride to be filial to her parents... that's incredibly rare. You have to know, in this era of widespread enlightenment, most people aren't even filial to their own parents, let alone their in-laws.

Although Zhao Yuanzhen's clumsy actions were too deliberate, they were seen as pure and innocent in the eyes of Yan's father and mother. She was a role model for a daughter-in-law and a virtuous wife. If it weren't for the New Year's Eve holiday, the Civil Affairs Bureau would have wanted to send their son directly to her for registration.

If this were to happen, as soon as Sister Lingyun and the others arrived, there might be a big commotion at home...

Thinking of this, Yan Jing couldn't help but glare at her brother again.

It is obvious that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the fish pond rebelled. My brother has not told my parents about this matter. They are still in the dark and are more and more convinced that Sister Zhao is their daughter-in-law.

If you keep it a secret, and your sisters come to visit, won't that be a huge blow to your parents?
After thinking about it, I still have to give a hint.

After everyone had finished the New Year’s Eve dinner, Yan Yu and his father returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

"Watch the Spring Festival Gala or the competition?" Yan Yu asked.

Ten Xun secured the live broadcast rights, billing it as a "Secret Realm Confrontation Simulation." Because the name was long and difficult to pronounce, people often referred to it simply as "the competition." The current Menyan Cangsong Battle wasn't actually a simulated confrontation between domestic teams, but a real fight with other transcendents, but everyone still stuck to the name.

"Let's watch the game." Yan's father said, "If there are some things I don't understand, you can teach me."

The live broadcast was delayed, shot from multiple angles, and what the audience saw depended on the director's cuts. If a Lu Nation cultivator was injured or even killed, these images would not be broadcast, strictly adhering to the rule of "broadcasting joy, not sorrow"—otherwise, the public wouldn't dare watch this entertainment on New Year's Eve.

Yan Yu turned on the TV and saw that the battle seemed to be coming to an end.

The monks' troops were divided into two groups. The Flying Dragon Team was led by Cai Qianlong. They had just knocked down the gatekeeper and were clearing out the wild monsters in the surrounding secret realm.

The Longxiong Team blocked the enemy for them in the rear and occupied the entrance with the help of a valley terrain, delaying the enemy's attack while buying time for Cai Qianlong to refine the core of the secret realm.

Although outnumbered, the battle was not too stalemate, but rather extremely clear:
Yang Linhui urged the wind and snow to block the valley entrance and hinder the enemy's offensive; Ai Lu and Guo Feiyun joined forces with their swords to repel the strong men who could withstand the wind and snow one by one; Ye Jun used the Xuanguang ruler to protect everyone, so that everyone did not have to worry about damage from long-range firepower projection.

Liu Longtao displayed his extraordinary power, sometimes using his sword skills to kill the enemy, and sometimes releasing a red dragon to patrol the sky and smash it towards the opponent.

His Dao magic was far more lethal than Yang Linhui's. Transcendents with some defensive skills, who dared to charge into the blizzard, would immediately flee in panic upon seeing the fire dragon descend.

The only one capable of challenging Liu Longtao was Park Changmin, the Korean Sword God. Standing alone, out of Liu Longtao's reach, he used his superior swordsmanship to intimidate the enemy from the flanks, cutting through the snow and wind, even threatening Yang Linhui's spells. Liu Longtao was forced to withdraw his sword and defend himself, barely able to unleash his Red Dragon Sky Patrol.

"Can this man get in?" Yan's father asked worriedly.

The question he asked is also what many live broadcast viewers are worried about.

Although the situation seems stable, there is actually a big hidden danger. That is Yang Linhui, who is responsible for blocking the valley entrance and needs to maintain the blizzard covering the entire area.

If a few people accidentally let in and entangled him so that he couldn't cast spells, the people behind him would take the opportunity to rush into the valley, and the good situation would take a sharp turn for the worse.

Because of this, both Ye Jun's Xuanguang Ruler and Liu Longtao's swordsmanship were focused on protecting Yang Linhui. But how could one predict what would happen on the battlefield? If they weren't careful, Park Changmin's flying sword might strike them, and something bad would happen.

"Yeah." Yan Yu looked carefully for a moment and smiled, "It's okay, they can't get in. Lu State will definitely win."

Father Yan didn't understand what was going on, so he nodded and said:

"Who's better, Liu Longtao or you?"

"He can't beat me," Yan Yu said modestly, "but he's still pretty strong in the country."

"Oh." Yan's father had actually heard some rumors from those around him that Yan Yu was the strongest cultivator in Lu Country right now, but after all, he had worked in state-owned enterprises his entire life and was very cautious, so he didn't believe it completely, let alone spread it around. Now that he heard his son's big talk, he subconsciously warned:

"Don't say such things outside, even if you are really better than him."

"Yeah." Yan Yu nodded.

"Brother is bragging again." Yan Jing laughed beside him.

"Haha." Yan Yu shouted, "Zhao Yuanzhen, come here!"

Zhao Yuanzhen was in the kitchen helping Yan's mother wash fruits. Upon hearing this, he immediately turned around and said:
"coming!"

She came to the living room with some fruit and stuffed one into her mouth. She only heard Yan Yu ask:

"Liu Longtao and I are competing in strength. Who is stronger?"

"He can't even beat me, how can he compete with you?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked in surprise.

"Did you hear that?" Yan Yu looked around at his sister's father and said with a sneer.

Father Yan did not comment on this and asked again:

"So, who is more powerful, Liu Longtao or this Korean?"

This question stumped Yan Yu.

To be honest, Park Changmin and Liu Longtao are completely incomparable. The difference in the quality of their true energy is obvious. Even without using any Taoist magic, Jing Ye could beat the shit out of him with just a head-on sword fight.

But Yan's father couldn't understand this, because all the spectators could see Liu Longtao and Park Changmin fighting in the snowstorm, their swords fighting back and forth, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Of course, Jingye had to distract himself from other things at the same time, so strictly speaking, Park Changmin got the upper hand. However, it is difficult to quantify how much the distraction affected Jingye's strength. Everyone still feels that the two are about the same in strength.

"Fifty-fifty," Yan Yu finally replied, "Not too much of a difference."

Yan's father was disappointed with the answer, but not surprised. He just continued to stare at the TV with an obviously nervous expression.

Sigh, I really shouldn't be watching this on New Year's Eve. It's clearly a sure win, but they have to pretend it's evenly matched, just to create suspense for everyone.

"By the way," Yan Jing asked, "since you're more powerful than Liu Longtao, why don't you send the Zhenhai team into battle?"

"Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?" Yan Yu replied calmly.

Yan's father was very satisfied with this answer. After all, he didn't like his son being called to fight every other day. It would always make his family worried.

Mother Yan cleaned up the dishes. Yan Jing saw that she was free and quietly went over to say:

"Mom, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" asked Yan's mother.

"The other members of my brother's team plan to come visit on the second day of the Lunar New Year." Yan Jing said cautiously.

"Sure." Mother Yan said without hesitation, "Stay for dinner. We're free on the second day of the New Year."

"They..." Yan Jing was silent for a moment, "Maybe they all like me and will compete with Sister Zhao."

"What does a child know about love?" Yan's mother said with a laugh.

Previously, when they were in the Sanyu Treasure Ship Secret Realm, Yan's father and mother saw Yan Yu holding the soaked Li Minghu, appearing openly in the live broadcast camera, and they thought that their son had a girlfriend in private... But later the expert on TV explained that "Li Minghu was in poor health" and "was afraid that she would catch a cold." In addition, Yan Yu also denied this matter on the phone, so the two realized that they had made a big mistake.

Having made a mistake once, it is not easy to be fooled again. When Yan's mother heard her daughter say that her son was digging a fish pond to raise fish, her first reaction was disbelief.

Absolutely impossible!
