Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Ye Jun completed the design of the formation bricks.

The runes on the bricks themselves form individual nodes of the formation. When multiple bricks are pieced together, all the runes assemble into a larger-scale formation.

Their sole function is "direction": no matter from which direction souls come, as long as they enter the range of the formation, they will be directed towards Ghost Gate.

Thus, the longer the Soul-Attracting Great Wall is built, the more ghosts will be guided by the formation, until they gather at Ghost Gate, integrated into the control and organization of the Yin Department.

"With this, my task is completed." Ye Jun handed the bricks to Yan Yu, saying, "Actually, the difficult part is in the brick manufacturing and stacking them according to the formation requirements, which are extremely cumbersome tasks, but..."

The two turned to look towards the distant wilderness.

A simple brick kiln factory had already been set up, and the Yin Ghosts refined by Chen Lingyun's Prison Banner were rigidly moving the soil with shovels, dividing it, making moldings, drawing patterns, and putting them into the furnace.

Although due to their lack of Spiritual Wisdom, the work efficiency of these Yin Ghosts is extremely low, the number of kilns is densely packed, stretching from the present to the distant horizon, where there is no end in sight.

If the quality isn't enough, increase the quantity!

Every day in Lu Country, tens of thousands die, with countless Yin Ghosts wandering the wilderness after entering the Underworld, aimlessly roaming due to the complete collapse of the old Ghost Gate site, only able to hope for a stroke of luck someday to reach the banks of Oblivion River.

With Chen Lingyun's strong intervention, numerous grassroots Hell's Envoys began to roam the wilderness, capturing these wandering ghosts and pulling them to the location of Ghost Gate.

The Nine Heavens Yin Demon Prison Banner was inserted in front of Ghost Gate, constantly spewing tentacle-shaped Yin Qi. These tentacles, once touching the captured wandering ghosts, would drag them into the banner for refinement.

Souls that are resilient become Hell's Envoys, joining the ranks of recruiters; the rest are refined into Yin Ghost workers, joining the newly built kiln factory or the wall construction team.

All of this is orderly and continuously cycling positively, not even needing Chen Lingyun herself to be on site, running automatically like a production line, making Ye Jun click his tongue in amazement and praise:

"No matter how many times I see it, it still feels incredible. If Ling Yun were to devote herself to researching formation arts, she could definitely achieve far greater accomplishments than mine."

"She wouldn't do that." Yan Yu waved his hand, saying, "She does everything just for fun. Rebuilding the Yin Department is far more complex than researching formations, and attracts her interest and attention more."

"What if someday she suddenly loses interest?" Ye Jun asked.

"That's why I need you all involved," Yan Yu replied, "If she loses interest, then we can promptly fill in the gaps."

The Yin Department must not be Chen Lingyun's alone, because one can't rely on this woman's integrity at all.

"By the way, this is for you." Ye Jun handed him another item.

Is this... a sticker box?

Yan Yu's gaze passed through the transparent plastic shell, discovering inside are some very cute stickers like stars, flowers, rainbows, and Hello Kitty, etc.

"I collected them when I was in elementary school." Ye Jun diverted her gaze, seeming a bit embarrassed, "At that time, my dream was to be a bride, so I was always pondering how to decorate my wedding."

"If you want to stick them at the wedding site, this is far from enough." Yan Yu weighed the sticker box in his hand.

"Later, my classmates found out." Ye Jun shrugged indifferently, "I was laughed at by everyone, so I gave up collecting."

"Yan Yu, though you may not see it, I actually care very much about..."

"The opinions of those around you." Yan Yu quickly interrupted, "Even relying on their judgment to assess your own worth."

Ye Jun was silent for a moment, her expression seeming a bit difficult to maintain, as if her opening move was interrupted before it could be fully delivered, then she took a deep breath, calming herself before saying:

"So, when you got me..."

"Rescued from the unfortunate expulsion from the Dragon Soar Team." Yan Yu continued to interrupt, "You felt once again valued, realizing it was I who saved you from life's lowest point."

"So I'm very grateful to you." Ye Jun calmly said, "But this isn't a reason for you to interrupt my expressions of gratitude. If you keep interrupting and grabbing my lines, I'll give you a big slap."

"Okay, I won't say anymore." Yan Yu made a zip-it gesture at his mouth.

"Mm." Ye Jun was silent again for a moment, found herself at a loss for words, wearing a mixed expression of laughing and crying, "So, I'm giving you this sticker box."

"The reason you're giving me the sticker box is that you no longer care about others' opinions." Seeing she seemed unwilling to further elaborate, Yan Yu tentatively confirmed, "You've found what you truly care about now is only our relationship, is that right?"

"Not exactly, it's just your bedroom's display cabinet needs to fill a slot, and I couldn't think of anything else with commemorative value." Ye Jun said.

"That's quite perfunctory." Yan Yu said with a sudden lack of words, "I'm not in a hurry for you to give me something right away."

"Fill the slot first and then talk." Ye Jun said.

"Ye Jun, really." Yan Yu advised earnestly, "My cabinet only has 10 slots, and we have exactly 10 people here in the villa, all corresponding one-to-one, there won't suddenly pop up a newcomer to take your spot."
