Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 531 - 27 I Have Ye Jun, Like a Fish in Water

Chapter 531: Chapter 27 I Have Ye Jun, Like a Fish in Water

Ye Jun made her way to the Wuyi Mountain Secret Realm via Sword Control, only to be stopped by Military Mansion Cultivators patrolling the skies, who interrogated her about her identity.

It wasn’t that they didn’t recognize the deputy captain of the Dragon Soar Team, but there was a necessary procedure that had to be followed. Familiarity couldn’t warrant an unchecked entry.

Being stopped for questioning, Ye Jun finally managed to calm down from her grief and began to feel a sense of regret.

I… How did I impulsively wind up coming to the Zhenhai Team’s territory like this? What if Captain Yan was only joking when he said he would take me back? What then?

She wanted to call Yan Yu to come pick her up, yet she irrationally worried that upon seeing him, he would blurt out “What are you doing here?” and she would end up bursting into tears and fleeing in panic on the spot.

While hesitating and feeling lost, she suddenly noticed a sword light shining in the distance—it was Yan Yu coming to her aid, riding his sword.

He landed quickly nearby and ran over, still wearing his house slippers, implying that, knowing Ye Jun was on her way, he had dashed over to meet her without even the time to change his shoes. At this thought, Ye Jun felt inexplicably moved, and even the persistent sorrow in her heart seemed to dissipate a lot.

“Ye Jun, you finally made it!” Yan Yu ran to her and took her hands in his, saying warmly, “I’ve been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, haha, today my dream has finally come true… Come on, let’s go back and talk.”

With the backing of the Zhenhai Team captain, the patrolling Military Manor Cultivators naturally stopped questioning her and let her through immediately.

Yan Yu, holding Ye Jun’s hand, walked towards the entrance of the Mysterious Realm, asking her caring questions like “Aren’t you tired from riding the sword all this way?” and “Are you feeling better now?”

Under normal circumstances, Ye Jun would never have walked hand in hand with a male friend, as it suggested an improper closeness. But at the moment, enveloped in sadness and desperately needing safety and dependability, she forgot to resist and simply let him hold her hand, feeling a touch of warmth in her heart.

Upon reaching the second layer of the Mysterious Realm, in a valley, Yan Yu let go of her hand and pointed towards several houses, saying to Ye Jun:

“That one belongs to the Feixiong Battle Team, and that one is the Shenxing Battle Team’s. Almost every top-ranking Zhendong Army Team has reserved a house here in the secret realm for future cultivation. Our Zhenhai Team lives in the back, in the largest house you see there.”

“It’s bigger than ours,” said Ye Jun.

“Haha, it doesn’t matter how big the house is. What’s important is whether the people you live with get along,” Yan Yu laughed heartily, “Ye Jun, you’re a guest at my place, I’d be happy even if we lived in a single rented room.”

Ye Jun’s face turned a little red, thinking, Are you really so eager to live with me? But her sorrow stifled any chance of laughter, leaving only silence.

Yan Yu took it in stride and simply led Ye Jun into the villa, calling out to the others:

“The deputy captain is here!”

The girls all came out to greet Ye Jun.

The Zhenhai Team and the Dragon Soar Team had fought side by side more often than they had faced off against each other, so they all got along with Ye Jun fairly well. Here Lin Ning enquired about Ye Jun’s dietary preferences, while Yun Jin mentioned that the new room was cleaned up and ready for her to move into, which touched Ye Jun deeply.

The Dragon Soar Team currently consisted of five men and one woman. The men were casual about their own living arrangements and didn’t give as much thought for Ye Jun’s. They were more likely to rely on their deputy captain for things like ordering takeout or arranging for housekeeping… Now, suddenly becoming the one being taken care of, even the straightforward and spirited girl from Jinmen found it hard to hold back her tears.

Seeing her eyes redden, Yan Yu quickly intervened:

“She has traveled a long way to get here. Let’s leave any further talk for later and let her rest first.”

After showing Ye Jun to her room and telling her to rest well, Yan Yu was about to leave when she called out to him.

As he turned around, he was suddenly embraced by Ye Jun, and a slightly sobbing tremor echoed in his ear:

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Yan Yu hugged her back, “It’s what I should do.”

Although Ye Jun appeared normal, Yan Yu knew that her Dao Heart was still not recovered and she was extremely fragile.

If Lord Master, the rough man, can’t provide comfort, let it be me!

After Yan Yu left, Ye Jun went to the bathroom, washed her face, and then looked at herself in the mirror.

Her eyes were red from crying.

Her cheeks were red… probably from the heat.

Now, upon reflection, running to the Zhenhai Team’s side had indeed been quite abrupt and presumptuous.

But I don’t regret it, because I finally know that if something happens in the future, at least Yan Yu would be willing to take me in.

The sorrow in her heart had nearly disappeared, allowing Ye Jun to finally calm down and continue pondering.

The problem she faced was that the Dragon Soar Team had an excess of offensive roles, and she needed to focus on defense. But from a personal development standpoint, specializing in defense meant a lack of offensive capability, which was certainly detrimental to her future.

Privately, Ye Jun also practiced swordsmanship, but her strength was growing slowly. Now that she had come to the Zhenhai Team, it was a good opportunity to ask Yan Yu for guidance.

She decided that she would go to the training field later to practice swordsmanship!

Meanwhile, as soon as Yan Yu had come downstairs, Lin Ning pulled him aside and interrogated him:

“How come Ye Jun suddenly turned up?”

Su Yunjin and Xie Ruoxi sat on the sofa, maintaining their composure, but they were secretly using voice transmission to remind Lin Ning,

“Don’t ask like that! Ask if other people from the Dragon Soar Team have come, just pretend to be curious!”

So Lin Ning did as told, and heard Yan Yu ask:

“Are you jealous?”

“I am not, not, not, not jealous!” Lin Ning got flustered right away, kicking him, “I am just curious, only curious! Curious!”

“You don’t have to say it three times.” Yan Yu waved his hand, “She’s just here as a guest.”

“But isn’t that too sudden?” Lin Ning acted like a wife who had just learned that “a colleague was coming to stay for a few days,” exhibiting a strong sense of territoriality.

“Sudden?” Yan Yu asked.

“Isn’t it sudden?” Lin Ning retorted.

“She did send me a message.” Yan Yu said.

Lin Ning was at a loss for words. She instinctively wanted to say “then you never told me about it,” but then she realized she didn’t have the right to say that.

Hurriedly, Su Yunjin voice transmitted:

“Ask what the message said.”

“So, what did the message say?” Lin Ning asked.

“She said she missed me a lot, hoped to come over to see me, but was afraid that our team’s Ningning would get angry, so she asked if it would be okay to come.” Yan Yu replied nonchalantly.

“Stop joking with me!” Lin Ning kicked him again.

“You see.” Yan Yu spread his hands, “I tell you she’s here as a guest, you don’t believe it. I tell you she’s here to chase after me, you get angry. So what are you hoping is the case?”

Lin Ning was silent for a moment, realizing she was not good at playing mind games, and decided to confront the issue straightforwardly:

“So it really is just as a guest? She’s not here to… chase after you, or for some other purpose?”

“Of course.” Yan Yu said, “If she were here to chase after me, wouldn’t it be better to ask me out on a date? Here, she’d have to deal with your suspicions.”

“Hmph.” Lin Ning believed him in her heart but retorted, “It had better be! Let me tell you, you are our team’s captain, not theirs. It’s okay to entertain guests, but you can’t let it affect our team’s internal training.”

“So what you’re saying is,” Yan Yu pretended to get her insinuation, “I can interact with her normally, but I can’t neglect you by taking care of her, or else you’ll get depressed, sad, and unhappy?”

“That’s! Not! It!” Lin Ning immediately got angry, stepping forcefully on his slipper, grinding her heel into it, “If you keep this up, I really will get angry!!!”

“You’re not angry now?” Yan Yu was shocked.

“I… I am angry,” Lin Ning couldn’t lie without a change of expression, she corrected herself, “But if you keep teasing me, I’ll get even angrier, super angry, the kind of angry where I won’t forgive you for days!”

“Ahem.” Seeing Lin Ning being toyed with by Yan Yu, Su Yunjin stepped in to back her up and asked Yan Yu, “Captain, did Vice-Captain Ye mention how long she plans to stay?”

“I don’t know.” Yan Yu responded, “Lord Master will also be coming over later, I’ll ask and see.”
