Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 278 - 76: Everyones Last Letters
Chapter 278: Chapter 76: Everyone’s Last Letters
Lin Ning’s complaint had been effective; it wasn’t long before all the girls gathered in Yan Yu’s room, chattering nonstop.
“Must you cultivate the Fasting technique at this precise moment?” Su Yunjin asked with concern, “Can’t it be postponed by half a month or a month, waiting until the warfare stabilizes before continuing?”
“Advancing in cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don’t advance, you fall behind. Where is the luxury to waste half a month or an entire month?” Yan Yu scoffed at the notion.
Chen Lingyun said nothing, but she probably understood why Yan Yu would make such a choice.
The upper limit of the Spiritual Energy Resurgence had been raised, and everyone was racing against time to enhance their strength, not caring whether you were at war on your side.
If Yan Yu’s cultivation were to stagnate for half a month or a month, would Lord Master Liu Longtao wait for him? And what about the other Transcendents from abroad? By then, not to mention being the strongest in this world, maintaining a top position would be difficult.
Of course, enduring the dual debuffs of hunger and thirst and still choosing to fight is a decision not easily made by most people; it only shows that the Longcheng Flying General truly has guts and audacity.
“Ling Yun, you try to persuade him,” Lin Ning said anxiously from the side.
“It’s no use persuading him,” Chen Lingyun said indifferently, “after all, he is the team leader.”
“Smart,” praised Yan Yu.
Of course, although Chen Lingyun could empathize with his thoughts, he still preferred the likes of Su Yunjin and Lin Ning, who worried about him, just as Cao Cao preferred Cao Pi, who would cry before his departure, over Cao Zhi.
“Um, I also think that cultivating the Fasting technique without eating or drinking before a big battle isn’t a good idea, right?” Xie Ruoxi carefully said, “Although we are to obey the team leader’s decisions, what if we encounter low blood sugar and intense battle at the same time? Shouldn’t we have some emergency measures in place just in case?”
“I said we should carry food and water with us so we can feed him and save his life at the critical moment,” Zhao Yuanzhen said with schadenfreude, “but he said I wasn’t worthy, so there’s nothing I can do.”
“Consuming food and water takes too long to digest, and in a real emergency, we might not have the time,” Su Yunjin said after a moment of silence, “I’ll go to the medical room and get some glucose injection fluid…”
“Wait a minute, injecting glucose is too outrageous,” Yan Yu couldn’t help interrupting as their discussion became more and more preposterous, “If I truly have low blood sugar and am performing poorly, I can simply use the Invisibility Technique to hide somewhere, and you can deal with the enemies for me.”
The girls fell into contemplation upon hearing this.
Although during battles the team leader often acted alone, he would always tie down the most powerful enemy, reducing frontal pressure for the team.
This time, however, he was going to truly stand by and watch, leaving the girls momentarily devoid of the confidence to say, “Then just watch us from the sidelines”—especially since the last time Chen Lingyun had led the team alone, she ended up in the ICU, a cautionary tale!
“You’re right,” after a moment, Lin Ning was the first to rally with full fighting spirit, “If the team leader really can’t perform well, we can’t force him to keep protecting us, right? We need to exert ourselves too!”
Rather than forcing Yan Yu to fight enemies with negative debuffs affecting him, it would be better for me to give it my all, putting forth 200% effort in the fight, even doing his part!
“Indeed,” Su Yunjin had no objections, “then let’s protect you.”
Chen Lingyun could think of it, and she too eventually came to realize it after being late to understand.
Since Yan Yu was adamant about not changing his mind, it was up to us to protect him during this “weak period.”
Zhao Yuanzhen, however, had objections. Previously, the little thief had said, “You’re not worthy,” so why should I bother protecting him?
She rolled her eyes beautifully, about to sarcastically refuse, only to hear Yan Yu say:
“Protect me? Forget it; I’d be grateful if you can protect yourselves.”
His characteristic arrogance immediately kindled the ire of the Demonic Sect Enchantress, who retorted loudly:
“Don’t be too much! We’ll see, when a certain someone is so starved that they have no strength, who ends up protecting whom!”
Hmm, why do I feel like I’ve been subtly tricked… Never mind! Since the little thief looks down on me, I’ll just have to protect him fiercely and slap his face!
“What about you, Ruoxi?” Su Yunjin turned to ask.
“I have no objections,” Xie Ruoxi shook her head, “If the team leader is in trouble, I definitely won’t stand idly by.”
Ah, I thought I was riding on the seven-colored clouds as the hero; I never expected that I would end up in this role…
“Since that’s the case, let’s agree on this.” Chen Lingyun said with a smiling eye as she stoked the fire, “Once someone is as hungry as a starved dog, we’ll find a place to dig a hole and bury him in it to continue his training.”
“Alright, that’s what we’ll do!” Zhao Yuanzhen exclaimed, clapping in approval.
“Such unrealistic fantasies; you’re all daydreaming,” Yan Yu scoffed coldly, holding no punches, “I am the team leader! Even if I’m not in top form, I can crush you all with one hand!”
“Then we’ll just wait and see how our hungry leader shows off his divine powers,” the girls giggled one after another.
Seeing them all so disrespectful, rebellious, and dismissive of their elder, Yan Yu too became annoyed and said sternly:
“Where are the wills? I asked each of you to write a will for me yesterday. Have you all written them?”
“It’s done.” Lin Ning took out her phone and said, “I’ll text it to you… Oh right, no peeking!”
“I promise I won’t look,” Yan Yu said earnestly.
Lin Ning sent the text, and Yan Yu’s phone immediately popped up with a notification of a new message.
He didn’t open it in front of Lin Ning but instead brought his phone close to his mouth and ordered:
Visit fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm for the best novel reading experi𝒆nce.
“Far ahead, read the text message out loud.”
“Okay,” the calm voice of the phone’s smart assistant responded, “Proceeding to read the text message in order. Sender: Ningning. Content of the text…”
“Wow, you’re really asking for death!” Lin Ning, enraged, lunged over and chased Yan Yu around the sofa, finally snatching his phone away, and shouted with a red face:
“Stop!!!!!!!”
Her voice nearly flipped the roof before the smart assistant’s calm voice stated:
“Okay.”
The girls burst into laughter. They all saw that Yan Yu had purposely let Ningning catch up at the last second – one second later, and he would have read the contents of the message aloud.
Lin Ning, still not satisfied, launched a deadly thirteen-kick combo at Yan Yu, each kick aimed at the lower part of his body.
Yan Yu lifted a chair next to him to block all her series of kicks, leaving Lin Ning gasping for breath.
“I’ll send mine to the leader too,” Su Yunjin took out her phone, touched the screen, and said, “I wrote three wills. You can’t read the ones for my dad and mom. The one for the leader, you can read.”
Yan Yu was speechless: true to her nature as a literary girl, she actually managed to write three wills, and one was specifically for me… holy shit, are you trying to catch me off guard?
“Cough cough.” He then spoke earnestly, “I’ve said before, writing wills isn’t about showing them to others, it’s to calm one’s heart and spirit so that when the crucial moment comes, one can give their all without fear of death. What about the others?”
“I’ve written my will,” Chen Lingyun said leisurely, “I wrote it before I enrolled in school and left it at home.”
“Oh right,” Yan Yu remembered, Chen Lingyun’s whole family were all eccentrics; they had all written their wills long ago, clearly outlining how their possessions should be distributed if they unfortunately passed away, updating them every six months, complete with a dedicated legal team to notarize them promptly.
Of course, every member of her family did have a whole bunch of assets to deal with; what’s from before marriage, jointly owned after marriage, held on behalf of parents… it’s quite normal for them to update their wills regularly.
Zhao Yuanzhen, of course, didn’t need to say much; everyone knew Sister Zhao had no worries or attachments, and she wouldn’t care about wills. Everyone just turned their gaze toward Xie Ruoxi.
“I…” Xie Ruoxi hesitated for a moment before confirming again, “The purpose of writing this will is just to free ourselves from worry, right?”
“Right,” Yan Yu answered.
“I understand now.” Xie Ruoxi finally made up her mind and edited a text message to send to Yan Yu on the spot.
The content was brief, a single sentence so short it didn’t need to be opened; the complete message already showed up in the phone’s top banner notification.
