Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 792 - 40 Compensation_2

The farthest time, they had already reached the final collapsing section of the road; it seemed that with a running start, they could have jumped and reached them, but due to slipping, they faced a regrettable defeat.

Sis... my body hurts so much, and so does my heart!

As Yan Yu mostly neutralized the poison in her body, Li Minghu’s consciousness gradually returned to normal, and her previous memories did not disappear from her mind.

She nestled in Yan Yu’s arms, lazily turned over, and then tilted her head up to coyly seek a kiss, still acting affectionately and sweetly.

Yan Yu also felt something was off. Shouldn’t the poison from the Elixir Medicine have been neutralized already? Could there be some that was missed?

He reluctantly dealt with Li Minghu’s lips, his hands wandering all over her body, infusing Runescript True Essence beneath her skin to confirm.

He couldn’t find any remaining toxins.

That was strange. Looking at her, she didn’t seem to be in a normal mental state, did she?

Allowing Li Minghu to wriggle in his embrace, Yan Yu fell into deep thought.

After all, having been a person in two lifetimes and having studied various manuscripts of Li Minghu, he knew the Valkyrie quite well and soon realized that this maiden was pretending to be poisoned—simply because, if she had truly regained her senses, she would inevitably have to react to their previous actions!

And by now, Li Minghu genuinely did not know how to react.

Throw a tantrum? It wasn’t like it was anyone else’s fault when she was the one who had moved closer, and Yan Yu was just kindly helping her detoxify!

Pretend nothing had happened? That would be even weirder, making it seem like she didn’t care about such intimacy at all—she was a respectable maiden, not some familiar girl from a lounge!

Demand Yan Yu to compensate? Although feasible, it was unreasonable; Li Minghu was not the kind to make a fuss, and it was against her nature to take revenge after receiving kindness.

Therefore, not knowing how to handle the situation, she could only pretend to continue being poisoned, unconscious, and drag it out as long as possible.

Yan Yu saw through Li Minghu’s embarrassment and thus sighed, lifted his hand in a karate chop motion, and smacked her swan-like, elegantly fair neck.

This strike, which could knock out a mortal, was nothing for the robust body of a Cultivator. But Li Minghu needed an excuse, and at that moment, she tilted her head, pretending to be unconscious.

Yan Yu helped her lean against the rock wall, then stood up and looking down at the despondent Li Zhaojiang, called out:

"Nephew, why haven’t you climbed up yet?"

Li Zhaojiang, teary-eyed, defended himself:

"The sword hilt is too narrow, and it’s too slippery because of the mist!"

"Ah, what a waste!" Yan Yu scoffed coldly, "Fine, I’ll help you out."

With a flick of his sleeves, he released Silver Pellets, transforming into the puppet Ah Zhen, who gracefully leaped down the cliff, landed in the lake, walked on water, grabbed Xu Jin with his left hand, and Li Zhaojiang with his right, and effortlessly lifted the two adults like an eagle catching chicks.

With Heavenly River fixed heart-precious iron as her heart, her strength was not to be underestimated.

Ah Zhen, holding the two, strode easily up the narrow path along the cliff. Yan Yu manipulated the Sword technique; Huang Tingjian and Liangyi Sword successively nailed into the cliff wall, accompanying Ah Zhen’s nimble and strong steps, flowing through all collapsed sections without a single hitch, perfectly crossing in one go.

Li Zhaojiang reached the platform and immediately threw himself in front of Li Minghu, wailing:

"Sis! I’m late, and you’ve been humiliated..."

At this moment, Li Minghu, feigning unconsciousness, cursed internally: If you really think I’ve been humiliated, then don’t bring it up ever again. Can’t we just act like nothing happened?

If you dare to bring it up repeatedly later on, I swear I’ll slap you when we get back!

Xu Jin looked at the motionless Deputy Li, raised his eyebrows slightly, turned, and asked Yan Yu:

"Is the poison in Deputy Li gone?"

"Mostly gone." Yan Yu nodded solemnly, "When she wakes up, she probably won’t remember what happened before. The effect of the medicine is still quite potent."

Xu Jin nodded thoughtfully and said solemnly:

"If that’s the case, then we better not bring this up again, lest when she regains her memory, it causes her secondary emotional harm, which would be bad."

This young lady really knows how to handle situations, worthy of being the dedicated wipe of the pretty waste of her previous life; her skill at cleaning up after leaders is truly exceptional!

"That’s not okay!" Li Zhaojiang disagreed fiercely, "Old Yan! Although you helped detoxify my sister, you also hugged and touched her, claiming all the benefits! What do you have to say about that?"

"Are you not calling me brother-in-law anymore?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, my sister is still single, where did the brother-in-law come from?" Li Zhaojiang turned hostile, "Just tell me how you plan to compensate my sister."

Li Minghu on the ground was already speechless: The ladder is right there for you, why won’t you step down gracefully?

If I weren’t pretending to be unconscious right now, I’d kick you immediately!

"How do you want to be compensated?" Yan Yu asked with a vacant gaze.

Li Zhaojiang pondered for a moment and said,

"There should be a lot of treasures in this Mysterious Realm..."

"Your sister is a Sword Immortal, what treasures could she need?" Yan Yu immediately retorted, "If she needs any powerful Flying Sword, we have no problems on this end."

"A Flying Sword can only be considered emotional compensation," Li Zhaojiang argued confidently, "You touched my sister’s body all over, what if she can’t get married in the future? You have to take responsibility for that too, right?"

Li Minghu felt like she was about to explode from anger: Who are you saying can’t get married?

"So what do you want?" Yan Yu sneered.

"Simple, you pursue my sister," Li Zhaojiang started laying out the conditions, "Of course, it doesn’t mean you’ll directly become my sister’s boyfriend. First, you have to chase her. She reserves the right to reject you, and if she ends up liking another man, then you have to let go decisively and wish her well."

"So, you want me to be the interim boyfriend?" Seeing his serious expression, Yan Yu was amused, "Can we get intimate?"

"Hell no!" Li Zhaojiang shouted angrily, "My sister hasn’t even confirmed a relationship with you, you dare to disrespect her? Oh, even if you did establish a romantic relationship, it still won’t work, our Li Family has extremely strict family rules, premarital behavior is absolutely prohibited..."

"What family rule? I didn’t know about that?" Unable to hold back anymore, Li Minghu stood up and asked.

"Sister! You’re awake!" Li Zhaojiang was overly thrilled, then immediately started crying, "Sister, let me tell you, this bastard Yan Yu took advantage of you while you were poisoned..."

Before he could finish, the utterly fed-up Li Minghu kicked her own little brother off the cliff.

Everyone: ......

"Xu Jin," Li Minghu turned and instructed, "Go bring him up."

Xu Jin hurried to the edge of the platform, and saw Li Zhaojiang staggering from the lake to the shore, like a dog that fell into the water.

Li Minghu looked at Yan Yu, her eyelids lowered, and softly said,

"Thank you for earlier."

Although her tone seemed quite aloof, the faint blush on her face betrayed her nervous emotions, clearly overwhelmed.

Yan Yu didn’t mind, smiled and said,

"No worries. The Elixir Medicine was from me, I have to take responsibility for any problems... so, should I compensate you?"

"Don’t listen to Ah Jiang’s nonsense," Li Minghu somewhat speechlessly shook her head, "With a sudden emergency, who can blame you? I just wanted to thank you, that’s all."

"Mmm-hmm," Yan Yu nodded, "No thanks needed. I wouldn’t rescue just anyone in this situation."

Li Minghu’s spirit stirred, she suddenly raised her eyes to meet his, as if she wanted to say something.

"We have an emotional foundation, it’s too alienating to mention troubles. Besides, if I were poisoned like this, you would definitely save me too, right?" Yan Yu winked at her.

Li Minghu was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly:

"I would let Ah Jiang save you."

"You can’t be serious?!" Yan Yu pretended to scream, "Geez, I want to cling to a girl, not a man!"

Li Minghu turned her back to him, pretending not to care about him, but soon she started shaking with laughter.
