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

Chapter 677 Promise
Yan Yu did not ask everyone to give an answer directly, but asked everyone to think it over carefully before replying. Anyway, it would take some time before they could reach the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Done! So easy! The Four Emperors are all my defeated opponents!

The girls left in confusion. As soon as they closed the door, Yan Yu received a call from Zhou Hongyu:
"No need to think about it, I'm willing."

Yan Yu: ……………………

"No, sister." He advised earnestly, "This is not a joke, you should think it over carefully."

"No need." Zhou Hongyu said coldly, "Even if there is no such thing as a Golden Core breakthrough, my answer is the same."

She hung up the phone decisively, turned to look at the three girls beside her, raised her chin proudly and went back to her room.

Tang Xiaolian felt mixed emotions. She had originally thought Captain Zhou was being coerced by Yan Yu into coming to him.

But now it seems that she did it voluntarily! She was even more proactive than Yan Yu!
The three of them looked at each other, only to hear Li Minghu say calmly:
"This kind of thing really needs to be carefully considered."

She also turned around and went back to her room. Tang Xiaolian and Ye Jun looked at each other for a moment, then left separately.

After returning to the room, Tang Xiaolian lay on the bed, feeling extremely depressed.

She picked up her phone, opened the chat window for Zhou Hongyu, and tried to type. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard, but she couldn't utter a word.

No, no! Captain Zhou is already my love rival. I can no longer treat her like the boss and open my heart to her without restraint!

but……

Oh, Captain Yan, why do so many girls like you? It's so annoying...

It would be a lie to say Tang Xiaolian wasn't tempted by Yan Yu's suggestion of a Golden Core breakthrough. However, she still held strong resistance to it, as she didn't want to give up her virginity so easily for such an extremely utilitarian reason.

Really, if two of us were lying in bed, and Captain Yan confessed to me, said a bunch of sweet words to me, and kissed and hugged me until the romantic atmosphere was very strong, I would just give it to him.

Even if there is no such thing as a golden elixir breakthrough.

Tang Xiaolian covered her eyes with her arms and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, she picked up her phone and opened the message window to Yan Yu.

"Sorry, Captain Yan..."

After typing just six words, she bit her lower lip sadly and deleted them all at once.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Tang Xiaolian yelled at the ceiling a few times, as if venting her dissatisfaction.

Then she jumped out of bed, went to the bathroom and washed her face vigorously.

When she raised her head again and wiped the water droplets off her face, she saw a fat golden beetle flying onto her shoulder.

Tang Xiaolian turned around and sat on the sink. She raised her arm and let the golden silkworm Gu crawl along her clothes to her fingers. Then she sighed and said:

"Chong Chong, do you think I should agree to Captain Yan's proposal?"

The poisonous golden silkworm Gu raised its tentacles and elytra and waved its mouthparts angrily, opening and closing them.

The human and the insect had the same thoughts. Tang Xiaolian's distress was transmitted, making the Golden Silkworm Gu very unhappy, and it threw back a few scattered thoughts.

Spouse! Strong! Possessive!

Tang Xiaolian's face began to turn red, and she thought to herself, "I'm really crazy. Bugs don't have the same moral concepts as us humans."

The mouthparts of the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu opened and closed more and more rapidly, and more anger quickly came out:
Bite the head! Press the body! Mating! Laying eggs! Strong! Possession! Mate! Offspring! Plenty!
Tang Xiaolian pushed the angry bug aside and continued to be depressed alone. Suddenly, she saw the phone next to her light up.

This is a message from Captain Zhou.

------------

Ye Jun returned to the room, filled the bathtub with hot water, and started taking a bath.

Immersing her plump body in the warm water, she first moaned comfortably, and then began to daze again.

Impacting the Golden Core Stage...

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just…

I don't want to mix any other impurities into this relationship.

Let's be honest, Ye Jun has been a beloved star since she was little. She's been incredibly charming and beloved since kindergarten, with teachers doting on her and children vying to be her friend. In fourth grade, a director came to the school to select dancers for the Spring Festival Gala, and she was the first one chosen.

Although she was eliminated after three months of training and ultimately missed the Spring Festival Gala stage, that was due to her family background. The fact that she was able to persist for three months among a group of talented people is enough to show that she is very good-looking and capable.

Later in junior high and high school, she became more and more beautiful and pretty. With her cheerful personality and eloquence, she could get along well with both boys and girls. Of course, many people confessed their love to her... but they were all rejected.

The reason is simple: no interest.

When she was in school, she was quite career-oriented. She didn't just want to get into a good university or find a good job, but she hoped to win recognition from her family and society, or to put it more simply: "to have a promising future."

Considering this, he should have agreed to Yan Yu's request. After all, a higher Jindan grade was basically equivalent to being valued by the higher-ups, as well as having a higher social status and a brighter future.

But if I have to exchange this feeling for something, is it worth it?
Ye Jun soaked in the bathtub for a long time and finally made a difficult decision.

She picked up the phone next to the bathtub and started typing a message to Yan Yu.

【Zhu Jun】: I’m sorry, I can’t promise you.

[Zhu Jun]: Although I like you, I cannot accept this reason.

【Zhu Jun】: Sorry
When Yan Yu received the news, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Of course, reaching the Golden Core stage is obviously very tempting, but not everyone can resist this temptation.

In Ye Jun's opinion, innocence and reputation are obviously more important than the Golden Core Breakthrough, so she will not choose the latter. If you want to convince her, you must show her something more important than the former...

Wait, did Master Jing teach me a trick?
Yan Yu pondered for a moment and began typing.

【Conquer others with virtue】: Please.

【Zhu Jun】：?

[Conquer others with virtue]: I really need you to practice dual cultivation with me, please! I can do anything you ask of me! If I can't reach the Golden Core level, I will

After Yan Yu typed this line, he closed the chat window, switched out and started watching the short video.

A few seconds later, new message windows popped up at the top of the screen.

[Zhu Jun]: What do you mean?
[Zhu Jun]: Don’t make such jokes!

[Zhu Jun]: Who do you take me for?
[Zhu Jun]: I told you, I can't accept this reason!
【Zhu Jun】: I am serious!
[Zhu Jun]: Wait, what do you mean?
[Zhu Jun]: You want me to practice dual cultivation with you, not only to help me reach the Golden Core level, but also because you have the same need?
Seeing this, Yan Yu switched back to the chat window and continued typing.

[Conquer people with virtue]: Yes, I need your Yuan Yin.

[Zhu Jun]: Can’t you tell me what it’s used for specifically?

【Conquer people with virtue】: It is not convenient to say.

[Zhu Jun]: ...Okay, I understand/Speechless.

Ye Jun put the phone aside and continued to look at the ceiling of the bathroom, his eyes gradually becoming confused.

He needs my essence... not to help me, but because he needs me to help him, so I...

------------

Zhou Hongyu, who had just finished taking a shower, drank half of the wine in the wine cabinet, and then finally made up his mind to send a message to Tang Xiaolian.

[Zhao La]: You should agree to it.

[Rough and Spicy]: With your qualifications, although you have a guaranteed mid-grade golden elixir, you have no hope of getting a high-grade golden elixir.

[Spicy]: What does the top-grade golden elixir represent? If you don’t understand, go ask Zhang Huaide.

[Miao girl Tang Lingling]: I know, but Captain Zhou... do you mind?

[Spicy]: I wouldn't mind if my current partner had sex with my ex, especially since you're not even his ex. By comparison, reaching the Golden Core rank is more important.

[Miao girl Tang Lingling]: Hahaha, such a straightforward answer, worthy of the answer given by Captain Zhou.

[Miao girl Tang Lingling]: Captain Zhou, actually...

[Miao girl Tang Lingling]: Even if you are my love rival, I will not give in easily.

Zhou Hongyu looked at the message that popped up on his phone, then slowly closed his eyes.

Xiao Lian.

I don't need you to let me.

You better be brave.

Yan Yu had just used some tricks to make Ye Jun withdraw her refusal when he received a message from Tang Xiaolian.

[Miao girl Tang Lingling]: Captain Yan, I am willing to practice dual cultivation!

[Miao Girl Tang Lingling]: But I have to make it clear to you in advance, I didn’t agree to this just to reach the Golden Core level, but because the object of dual cultivation is you!
[Conquer people with virtue]: So what? Do you want me to be responsible?

[Miao Girl Tang Lingling]: I want a fair chance to pursue you! I don't want to lose before I even get to the starting line, or I might regret it for the rest of my life!
【Conquer others with virtue】: Not bad, very ambitious. I have a new respect for you.

[Miao Girl Tang Lingling]: Captain Yan, please face up to my feelings for you! One day, I will make you fall in love with me!

Ah, yes, yes, yes, who can't make bold statements? Talk about it when you can do it!
Yan Yu just smiled faintly and did not respond to her statement.

------------

On the playing field, the monks flew around using the magic of movement and cloud climbing, almost turning basketball into a game of ghost balls.

Li Minghu stood at the sidelines with a smile, waiting for Li Zhaojiang to come down to rest and drink water, and suddenly asked:

"A Jiang, what do you think if my sister gets married in the future?"

"Get married?" Li Zhaojiang's eyes immediately became sharp. "Is it Lao Yan?"

"Ah." Li Minghu pretended to be shy and smiled with his hands covering his mouth. "So when you mention your brother-in-law, you can only think of Yan Yu, right?"

"Sister!" Li Zhaojiang screamed, "No!"

"Don't you like Yanyu?"

"It's not that he doesn't like him, but he's not worthy of you!" Li Zhaojiang gritted his teeth, "By the way, if you want to marry Yan Yu, you have to get your parents' consent first, right? You haven't told your parents yet, right?"

"I'm just assuming." Li Minghu said with a smile, "If."

Li Zhaojiang was stunned for a long time, and finally said:
"Anyway, I think Lao Yan is not worthy of you. Sister, you can't be careless about your lifelong affairs. You must give it more consideration!"

Someone on the field called him, and Li Zhaojiang immediately used the cloud-climbing technique and quickly took off into the air.

Watching his brother continue playing basketball with others, Li Minghu quietly took out his cell phone and sent a message to Yan Yu.

[The Moon Hangs over East Lake]: I agreed.

【Conquer people with virtue】: Have you thought it through?
[The Moon Hangs over East Lake]: After all, you have already seen me and touched me, so there is no point in holding on to that unnecessary reserve/laughs.

[Moon Hanging East Lake]: Actually, raising the Golden Core grade doesn't mean much to me. But I'm quite curious about what dual cultivation is like. You mentioned earlier that there's a section on sexual techniques, right?
Yan Yu on the other side of the chat: ………………

It's over! The Valkyrie is actually a bit of a jerk at heart!
I refuse to believe it, I refuse to accept it! I want to pull the Valkyrie from my past life over here to replace you, this fake fake!

[Conquer others with virtue]: I have never actually practiced it, so I don’t know what the specific experience is like.

[The Moon Hangs Over East Lake]: It doesn’t matter, we’ll give it a try when the time comes/laughs.

After finishing the chat with Li Minghu, Yan Yu couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Zhou Hongyu and Li Minghu both agreed as expected, while Tang Xiaolian's joining was a pleasant surprise. If the Fire Phoenix and Qing'an teams could produce three high-grade Jindan cultivators, Tianzhu and the Southern Territory would likely remain largely stable for over a hundred years.

Defending the borders and keeping the people safe is what I desire! I will spare no effort, even at the cost of my energy!

As for Ye Jun...

I won’t say more. I believe Sister Yun will make the right choice in the end!

Let’s just stop here with the communication with the outer room. The next thing to deal with is the inner house group.

Compared to Ye Jun and the others, the girls in the team were more likely to agree due to their deeper relationship; but precisely because they were in the same team, if there was a small chance of misunderstanding or even unpleasantness, which led to discord in the harmonious and united team relationship, it would be quite troublesome.

Don't worry about Zhao Yuanzhen and Chen Lingyun. First, use coercion and bribery to deal with Xie Ruoxi, then ask Su Yunjin for her opinion, and finally ask Lin Ning with "everyone agreed."

Perfect plan!
Thinking of this, Yan Yu felt that he was working too hard and couldn't help but sigh.

The reason why Mei Yingxue was respected as Teacher Mei in the previous life was because she single-handedly led the entire training materials for official monks; now that I have also helped to train so many high-grade female Jindan monks, should I also be respected as "Teacher Yan"?

It’s a pity that no one recognizes my achievements and no one tells my sorrow!
Just as I was feeling deeply moved by myself, I suddenly received a message from Ye Jun.

[Zhu Jun]: If you need my help, I can agree.

[Zhu Jun]: After all, I owe you a lot of favors before.

Good! Yan Yu couldn't help but pat his head in admiration and typed quickly.

【Win people over with virtue】: Thank you.

Damn it, I helped you improve your Golden Elixir grade, but instead you were helping me and you even asked me to thank you. How is this logic?
You are so ignorant, sister! You are so ignorant!

[Zhu Jun]: I haven’t finished yet.

[Zhu Jun]: This dual cultivation is also beneficial to me, so it doesn’t count as me repaying you a favor.

[Zhu Jun]: Regarding my confession to you, no matter what kind of response you will give in the end, I will repay these favors in the future.

Okay, okay, Sister Yun is still Sister Yun, so generous! Doesn't this answer mean "Even if you choose someone else, I will continue to be with you?"

As expected of the spokesperson of the Dingbei Army in the previous life, his words are very sophisticated!
