Chapter 949: Chapter 13: Confession
With the firsthand information on Yan Yu’s tribulation crossing, Lu Country quickly started preparing for Liu Longtao and Zhao Yuanzhen’s tribulation crossing.
Obviously, the most crucial condition for crossing the tribulation is to maintain endurance. With the top cultivators’ strength of Lu Country, breaking through the Tribulation Thunder is not an issue, but all thods require the consumption of True Yuan, and once the True Yuan is depleted, nothing can be done.
True Yuan is the lifeline of a cultivator.
The capacity of True Yuan is directly correlated with cultivation talent. Liu Longtao, Zhao Yuanzhen, and Xie Ruoxi, these three individuals are of T0 grade in terms of cultivation talent, possessing extrely abundant True Yuan, making them the most suitable candidates for the first batch of tribulation crossing.
However, considering Xie Ruoxi has psychological issues, the sequence will be postponed for now.
The second batch includes Zhou Hongyu, Su Yunjin, Yang Linhui, and Li Zhaojiang, who are also seasoned magic cultivators with abundant True Yuan. Although they are not as gifted as the first three, they can still be considered outstanding and exceptional.
Based on this list, Yan Yu can now determine the next sequence of favoritism… no, rather, dual cultivation to assist others in reaching the Golden Core Rank.
Priority within the team, Yun Jin, Ningning, then Hongyu.
As for the other girls, let’s wait for the sequence of their tribulation crossing to be out.
After the dical check-up following the tribulation, Yan Yu returned to his room and sent a ssage to Yun Jin:
“Co to my room.”
Hmm, why does this sound like a leader exploiting his position?
Speaking of which, Yun Jin in her previous life was Chen Lingyun’s vice-captain, handling various matters big and small, and even many cultivators outside thought of Su Yunjin first rather than Chen Lingyun when ntioning the Spirit Transport Team, hence known as “Secretary Su”.
Initially, when I saw her climbing the stairs alone with a pile of books in the Monk Academy, I had already decided to wrest her over to be my personal secretary… It’s quite normal for secretaries to handle matters, right?
“Wait a bit.” Su Yunjin quickly replied, “I will be there in a few minutes.”
After sending the ssage, she quickly went to the bathroom to tidy up her appearance in the mirror, then revealed a gentle smile.
Perfect, state!
Leaving the bathroom, Su Yunjin glanced at the purse beside the bedside table, inside were so safety asures — since she finally recognized her own heart, she always carried them in her purse to ensure safety anyti she could be pushed down by the captain.
Now, however…
These, are not needed anymore!
After confirming that her dress was without any wrinkles and her hair’s luster and curves were just right, Su Yunjin resolutely left her room and quickly walked to Yan Yu’s room door, knocking on the door.
“Co through the wall.” Yan Yu said inside.
Su Yunjin phased through the wall and saw Yan Yu taking dicine, pills previously provided to Li Minghu for strengthening the foundation and balancing yin and yang.
“Captain?” She looked concerned, sitting next to Yan Yu and anxiously said, “Is your body alright? If not…”
“Stop it, how could I possibly be unwell!” Yan Yu nearly choked, quickly said, “Now, I will recite a segnt of the String-Pulling Technique’s ntal thod for you, keep it thoroughly in your mind, even if there’s a slightest doubt about understanding, ask anyti!”
He recited the incantation at an appropriate pace. Yun Jin, after all, is a literary girl, having read more books than the average otaku has played eroge, her sensitivity to text is certainly on point, quickly morizing and understanding its aning.
True Yin reverses True Yang, the dragon and tiger amalgamate rcury, but hasn’t the captain already… been with Sister Zhao? Where is the Primordial Yang coming from?
“You don’t need to worry about the Primordial Yang,” Yan Yu, seeing her confusion, earnestly said, “Just leave it to .”
“Okay,” Su Yunjin nodded, suddenly feeling inexplicable tears welling up.
Recalling the past, from being seriously valued by the captain, to clarifying her feelings for the captain, to that long and almost hopeless waiting, during which she had wavered, despaired, doubted herself, and even had to face countless rivals in love…
Now, finally able to achieve true connection with the captain!
Although she cannot monopolize the captain for the ti being, ever since she realized the resolution to “never give up on her love even if she ends up being the third,” Yun Jin has completely not minded such things.
“Captain, I have a small request…” she softly whispered.
“Speak.”
“Before we officially start dual cultivation, could you hold and talk to for a while?”
“What’s the problem with that?” Yan Yu thought to himself that Yun Jin really values the sense of ritual, then of course he chose to satisfy her.
“Mmm.” Su Yunjin lowered her head onto the bed, directly sliding under the covers.
After a mont, she tossed her dress out from under the covers, then gently pulled the edge of the blanket, exposing half of her head, eagerly looking at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu: ……
Such a cute Yun Jin, I want to… no, I promised to talk with her first.
But with her posing like that, how could I possibly restrain myself?
————————————
In the end, I still managed to hold back for the ti being.
Yun Jin was lying in his arms, pulling his other arm into her embrace, her face filled with a blissfully sweet expression.
Yan Yu, on the other hand, looked thoughtful, his mind sowhat in turmoil.
Is there? There is, even though it usually doesn’t seem like it, but from the touch, it hadn’t gone to the extent of Chen Lingyun; it must be because Yun Jin’s clothing style tended toward comfortable and loose.
“Captain,” Su Yunjin said softly, “I’ve actually been having nightmares lately, dreaming about appearing at your wedding, and the bride isn’t .”
“Not you?” Yan Yu asked in confusion, “Then who is it?”
“That’s not the point,” Su Yunjin pulled his arm to her mouth, biting it slightly in frustration, then tenderly wiped away the teeth marks, “The point is, I can’t accept it.”
“If you were to put yourself in my shoes, what would you do if I were marrying soone else?”
Yan Yu seriously considered this question, thinking if Yun Jin were to marry another man…
As her captain, of course, the first thing would be to see if the man was worthy of Yun Jin. If he wasn’t suitable enough, even if Yun Jin truly liked him, it wouldn’t be possible for them to last together.
It’s like a lion living with a rabbit, even if the forr ans no harm, a careless slap could still shatter the rabbit’s bones.
Of course, even so, Yan Yu wouldn’t force Yun Jin, telling her to be clear-eyed and not to settle, but he would probably talk to the man, see what his intentions are… just like he dealt with Ningning’s admirer in the past.
“It seems I really would need to talk to him,” Yan Yu gave his answer.
“What if it’s after the marriage?” Su Yunjin continued to ask.
Suddenly, she freed herself from Yan Yu’s embrace, flipped over and pinned him down, her hands pressing down on his shoulders, posing as if to say “I want to know the answer”.
“Uh…” Yan Yu hesitated again.
If it’s already a done marriage, then there certainly wouldn’t be reasons to advise a divorce. That said, if you’re already married, then it shouldn’t be my concern anymore. Although I might feel a bit reluctant to accept this outco, since the die is cast, it’s probably better to accept reality.
“Let give my answer first,” Su Yunjin, seeing his expression change and struggling to find an answer, decided to give him a small hint, gently said, “As for , I’ve already thought it through: I will not let go.”
“Even if you don’t like , or don’t like that much, or even have soone else you like more, have decided to be with her, or even already married her… my answer remains the sa.”
“Ah, this…” Yan Yu thought to himself that this is a bit too intense. Generally, when soone hears “I don’t like you,” a normal person should gracefully give up.
“Why are you so persistent about ?” He paused for a while and asked tactfully, “Yun Jin, with your conditions, you must have no shortage of suitable suitors around you, right?”
“Because once I set my mind on sothing, I never look back,” Su Yunjin said with a smile tinged with a bit of bitterness. Her hair fell lightly on Yan Yu’s face, tickling him and carrying a wonderful fragrance. “Just like reading a book, once I read the synopsis and feel it’s a book worth reading, I must finish it.”
“Hmm, it sounds a bit like an obsession…” Yan Yu tried to make a joke to lighten the mood, but his lips were quickly silenced by a finger from Su Yunjin.
“Let finish, Captain. It’s extrely difficult to find a book that truly suits you. Most of the ti, every book has its flaws, and you have to endure these erging flaws throughout the reading process to fully read it from start to finish.”
“But my obsession with books is not even one ten-thousandth as demanding as my emotional standards. I’ve told you before, ever since I was young, many n have pursued , but I clearly understand that they are either enchanted by my beautiful appearance or my gentle and easy-going personality—they like a specific trait, not Su Yunjin as a whole person.”
“Once they begin to truly understand and discover flaws they didn’t know, their affection for imdiately depreciates. In today’s increasingly impatient world, there are too many people who give up halfway, whether in reading or in love, at the slightest displeasure.”
“And I am not that kind of person.”
Although Su Yunjin spoke in circles, Yan Yu still understood what she was trying to express:
“So, what you an is, once you fall in love with soone, you will not easily give up on this relationship, even if it’s unrequited.”
“Captain, maybe I should call you Yan Yu at this mont.” Su Yunjin’s smile grew gentler, “See, Su Yunjin isn’t a flawless girl. Her personality is too persistent or even obstinate, pampered from a young age so that she seems to desire nothing, but in reality, she’s fiercely stubborn about getting what she wants.”
“Even in terms of love, I desire to receive your emotional feedback, and it must be positive, otherwise, I can’t help but put pressure on you. I beco aggressive, using my aura, expressions, and rhetoric to influence your judgnt, even if it makes you uncomfortable… You’re fully aware of these flaws of mine.”
She gently took Yan Yu’s hand and pressed it against her chest:
“And you, even after seeing my ugliest sides, have never said ‘I don’t like you’.”
“Actually, it’s not that ugly, occasionally it’s quite interesting…” Yan Yu hadn’t finished his sentence when he was interrupted again:
“There are billions of people on Earth, but I only want to find the one who can love ‘Su Yunjin’. Not just to admire her virtues but also to accept her flaws, to embrace her entirety. As long as this person appears before , I will love him unconditionally.”
“Even if he doesn’t love , even if he falls in love with soone else, as long as there’s a slight chance to make him reconsider, I will not hesitate to go for it. If he is in a relationship with soone else, I will try to break them up; if he is married, I will do everything possible to make him have an affair with —this is what I wanted to tell you before we officially engage in dual cultivation.”
“Yan Yu, I’m willing to do anything to win your love, and I hope you can love in the sa way.”
Having said that, Su Yunjin leaned in and hugged him tightly, with an air and resolve of being willing to give her all.
