Chapter 1086: Chapter 5 Quack, the Child’s Tactic_2
Yan Yu was left dizzy by her words, and could only say that Mr. i was becoming more like a parent recently. Last ti, he even scolded Ye Jun for practicing to the point of getting possessed by demons.
“Wait a mont, Mr. i, I wanted to talk to you about the Sun True Dullness Sword.”
“Hmm?” i Yingxue indeed stopped preaching, “Go on.”
Yan Yu recounted the inspiration that Ye Jun had given him and finally said:
“I need to go to Chongying once more. If I can get the actual Sun True Dullness Sword, the Bohai Giant Snake would be nothing to fear.”
“Alright.” i Yingxue pondered for a mont, nodded, and replied, “I will accompany you then.”
“You’re coming too?”
“Yan Yu, what you have now is just a conjecture.” i Yingxue explained, “Do you know how many Mysterious Realms there are in Chongying’s native land?”
Yan Yu began to ponder.
“The Yin Yang Bureau has long been highly closed off, and we used to know very little about their intelligence.” i Yingxue patiently said, “Now, with Chongying divided between east and west, both sides fear us and seek our help, so we’re able to get enough intelligence.”
“But organizing, classifying, and selecting these pieces of intelligence, as well as sending people to various places to survey the Mysterious Realms one by one, requires soone to take charge of the overall planning.”
“Even if we actually enter a Mysterious Realm, finding the hiding place of the Sun True Dullness Sword is by no ans easy. With my help in tackling the Mysterious Realm, it’s better than you exploring and fumbling around in there by yourself.”
She laid the facts out plainly, and Yan Yu couldn’t find a reason to refute. Moreover, an important point, though i Yingxue didn’t ntion it, was perfectly clear to Yan Yu:
The ownership of the Sun True Dullness Sword.
In exploring the Mysterious Realm together, if soone were to compete with Yan Yu for the sword at the last minute, what should be done?
From i Yingxue’s perspective, handing the Sun True Dullness Sword to Yan Yu is definitely appropriate because Yan Yu had once been a Sword Holder and didn’t use his superior martial strength to do evil. His loyalty to Lu Country has been historically proven. But who wouldn’t want a Divine Sword and Treasure? Even those who initially didn’t intend to vie for the sword might suddenly change their minds upon actually seeing the Sun True Dullness Sword.
Mr. i cannot guarantee that others won’t beco greedy, she only knows that she certainly won’t compete for the sword, so it’s most suitable for her to help Yan Yu.
Yan Yu, comparatively, was quite carefree. Having mories of a past life, he knew very well about everyone’s character. Do you think Liu Longtao, if he went, would compete for the sword? No, because Lord Master is obsessed with saving face and wouldn’t stoop to despicable acts. But Mr. i doesn’t know this, she needs to be prepared for any situation, and that’s understandable.
“Alright then.” Yan Yu once again played the hands-off boss, “I’ll leave it to you, Mr. i. If there’s any news or leads, let know at any ti.”
“Hmm.” i Yingxue instructed, “You should also be mindful of restraint. There’s plenty of ti once the situation around stabilizes completely — there will be ample opportunity for you all to live like heavenly couple immortals.”
Yan Yu hung up the phone, looked up, and saw Xie Ruoxi, who had unknowingly finished bathing and was standing by the bed wrapped only in a towel, looking pitifully at him:
“Captain, are you leaving? Don’t you have ti to sleep with ?”
Yan Yu: ……
No, why do I sound like so kind of jerk?
“No, no.” He hurriedly waved his hands to reassure Ruoxi, “I was just on the phone with Mr. i, talking about so official business.”
“You can’t deny it, I heard everything!” Xie Ruoxi said angrily, “You said you were going to find the Sun True Dullness Sword! You’re abandoning us!”
Seeing Ye Jun and Yun Jin, who were resting in the crook of his arms, showing signs of waking up, Yan Yu could only quickly muddle through her:
“What Sun True Dullness Sword? Oh, you misheard, we were discussing how to care for a treasured sword.”
“Here, let show you my sword.”
——————————————————
As it turns out, Ruoxi is quite easy to fool.
This girl specializes in the Thunder thod, but isn’t great with swordsmanship. Yan Yu rely showcased a tiny bit and she was as if drunk, blushing deeply, swaying as if about to collapse, her mind completely blank with no ability to think.
After effortlessly laying Ruoxi down, Yan Yu slowly practiced his Breathing Exercises, a slight smile on his lips.
I still have strength! I can still fight!
Alas, with just the three of you, you can’t draw out my full power!
Placing them together and covering them with a blanket, Yan Yu quickly finished freshening up, changed into pajamas, and planned to go for a walk.
As soon as he opened the door, he found himself face to face with Hongyu, and for a mont, there were no words.
Yan Yu: ……
“Weren’t you on duty?”
“Lord Master took over for .” Zhou Hongyu replied succinctly.
“No, He Ye ca to find him tonight.” Yan Yu was even more bewildered, “Is there sothing wrong with his head, going out to substitute tonight!”
“You an his little girlfriend?” Zhou Hongyu smiled knowingly, “It was apparently inconvenient for her today, so after putting her to sleep, Lord Master ca to take my shift.”
“What’s inconvenient… oh.” Yan Yu suddenly rembered, female cultivators who have completed Fasting are still physically different from mortal won.
He Ye, if it’s inconvenient for you recently, you shouldn’t have sought out Lord Master! Now Lord Master is all fired up with nowhere to vent and went to chat up the Bohai Giant Snake, which freed up Hongyu to co back and what am I supposed to do?
“What’s the matter, are you also indisposed?” Zhou Hongyu’s eyebrows arched slightly, her tone turning icy, as if she might instantly transform into her fierce combat mode.
“Hehe, just a bit sleepy.” Yan Yu hinted at her to co back tomorrow.
“Hmph.” Zhou Hongyu didn’t speak, just went straight through the wall, confird that the three won were sound asleep, then ca back out with a cold smile, “How long did you ss with them?”
“Not long.” Yan Yu quickly averted his gaze, his expression flawless, “I wasn’t feeling well today.”
“Oh.” Zhou Hongyu’s voice elongated, “So you lost? To whom?”
“How is that possible?” Issues of dignity and pride were sothing Yan Yu could never concede, “With just those three, there’s no way they can take down.”
“Alright, I thought so too.” Zhou Hongyu then grabbed his hand and turned to head towards her room, “Let try then.”
Yan Yu knew there was no way to retreat, so like a hero, he puffed out his chest and followed Hongyu into her room.
Among the four, Yun Jin had the highest looks, Ye Jun had the longest legs, Ruoxi was unrivaled in the chest departnt. Though Hongyu wasn’t first in any, she held a steady second place, close enough to first. If you’re grading overall, her score remains impressively high.
It’s just her aggressiveness and intensity are too high; she jumps straight into action without much focus on emotional value. Like how a rich dish slls too strong, impacting the appetite.
While thinking this, Yan Yu had already steeled himself for the battle, only to see Hongyu change her clothes, then turn and head to the bathroom.
“What’s up?”
“After being by the sea for so long, I’m feeling salty. Want to co in to wash up?”
“No need, I’ve already showered.”
“Oh, I’m going for a bath.” Zhou Hongyu paused briefly and continued to ask, “Care to join for a bath?”
At first, Yan Yu intended to insist he’s already washed up, but suddenly he grasped the situation, smiled as he opened the door:
“Sure, I can wash your hair for you as well.”
The scenes in the bathroom were naturally breathtaking. After all, whether in appearance or figure, Hongyu is a flawless beauty. Having seen many like delicate orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, Yan Yu wasn’t about to leap all over like so tasteless Starved Ghost.
The showerhead was still filling the bathtub, Hongyu sat in it like a jade beauty, wrapping her arms around her knees, not minding the cold. Yan Yu checked the water temperature, adjusted it slightly warr, and offered, “Want to wash your hair?”
Zhou Hongyu’s hair was also sleek and black, not as lush as Ningning’s, but still well-maintained… It was strange, yet, even with shampoo in her eye, she showed no discomfort, just kept staring straight at Yan Yu.
“Are we getting there?”
“Take it slow.” Yan Yu said, “Let rinse and dry your hair first, then we’ll wrap it up in a shower cap, and you can enjoy the bath.”
“Did your grandmother used to help wash your hair?”
“Yes. So she knew her granddaughter was taken good care of, she would be at ease.” Zhou Hongyu said slowly.
After leaving the water a little warr, Yan Yu helped her test the temperature, he lightly placed his hand on hers briefly, then left.He had already ntally prepared for the battle while thinking so, but the preparation was unnecessary, as Zhou Hongyu had simply gone in to take a bath.
