Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Chapter 22: Separation after long unity must reunite, unity after long separation must divide.



The Huofeng Team, when they played this game, mainly had Qin Meng, Meng Qingxi, and Hou Qing teasing and challenging each other with questions like, "Admit it or not, I'm your daddy. No? Dear son, drink!" Though these questions lacked substance, they sure could heat up the atmosphere.

It was apparent that the Zhenhai Team operated in a different ecological atmosphere.

Most of the girls from Jiangnan held themselves with modesty and intelligence, not declaring how they flex their own influence. They didn't possess the rugged, streetwise air, but that didn't mean they were pushovers by any stretch.

Zhou Hongyu wasn't very good at playing mind games; Zhang Huaide surely had the most strategic mind within the team, but Deputy Captain Zhang preferred to focus on proper matters, so Tang Xiaolian didn't often witness this kind of internal team scheming.

But she wasn't a purely good person either! We people from Nanjiang also have our cunning!

Lin Ning was rather speechless, pushing the crispy fried chicken in front of Zhao Yuanzhen, whose eyes lit up as she began to savor and enjoy it, her eyes curving into a happy smile.

In Tang Xiaolian's eyes, this turned into evidence of "deliberately pretending to be naive to fool me" — I won't fall for that!

The others knew Zhao's temperament well, so they just watched her finish the chicken, then clean the cumin powder off her fingers like a cat. Yan Yu got a bit impatient and urged:

"Are you done yet? Hurry up and ask!"

"Mm," Zhao Yuanzhen pondered for a moment and squinted at Tang Xiaolian, suddenly asking:

"Yan Yu, compared to those girls with meager figures, you actually prefer ones who are well-developed, don't you?"

Caught off guard, Yan Yu scoffed inwardly.

You think you can shatter my face with your little abacus trick, huh?

When it comes to liking them big, aside from a few men with particular tastes, most definitely prefer the larger side. But if Yan Yu said "I like them big" here, it would inevitably pump up the Demonic Sect Enchantress's ego! Lose an inch today, lose a mile tomorrow. If you let them slice your flesh slowly with a dull knife, soon it'll become "whoever has bigger boobs is right," "whoever has bigger boobs, we listen to them," "whoever has bigger boobs makes the decision," "whoever has bigger boobs rules the house"... This case is also recorded in Su Zhe's "Debate of the Six States."

I must not let her cunning plan succeed!

"I..." Yan Yu lifted his drink, struggled for a moment, closed his eyes, and said, "I don't like well-developed bodies!"

He lifted his glass and drained it in one gulp. As the alcohol hit his sorrowful stomach, a faint bitterness emerged in his heart.

Damned inherently evil Demonic Sect Enchantress, forcing me to betray my true feelings! When I find a chance, I'll repay this twofold!

Putting down the glass, he saw both Su Yunjin and Tang Xiaolian looking greatly pleased, which left him even more speechless.

"Is it my turn?" Xie Ruoxi asked cautiously, "Captain, do you think my skills are up to par now?"

Yan Yu sighed and once again downed his drink, mumbling:

"Not up to par!"

Yes! Xie Ruoxi was inwardly elated, but she said:

"Then I will strive to become stronger."

She had avoided drinking and hadn't offended the captain — truly fitting for the clever Magic Girl Ruoxi!

The turn to ask moved to Lin Ning, and if Problem Solver sister hadn't realized the real way to play the game by now, she'd really be dishonoring her nine years of compulsory education. She proudly lifted her fair little chin and looked at Yan Yu with playful eyes, asking:

"Captain, do you like me?"

Anyway, the captain definitely won't admit it, so I don't have to drink, hehe...

"I do," said Yan Yu.

Huh?

Lin Ning held her cup, stunned for a long while, not fully drinking down the alcohol, as her cheeks and neck turned a large shade of red. She mumbled, not knowing what to say, only to hear Yan Yu add:

"But you're not worthy! Hahaha..."

With those words, Ningning immediately broke down, instinctively wanting to throw the drink in her cup, but restrained herself because she was inherently a good kid. She silently raised her cup and drank.

As the alcohol hit her sorrowful stomach, a faint bitterness emerged: So, the captain does like me, huh, but looks down on me for my weak ability, so that's why we're not together...

Wasn't that something I've known for a long time!!!!!!

"It's my turn," said Tang Xiaolian after thinking for a moment, smilingly asking, "Does Captain Yan think that I am the prettiest girl here?"

Yan Yu's eyebrows furrowed, realizing that if he said yes, trouble would brew within his team; but if he said no, then it would be his turn to drink.

Alright, alright, each one of you likes to take a crack at me!

Just as he was about to lift his drink, he suddenly heard Yun Jin whispering to him:

"Does the captain need my help?"

Clearly, Tang Xiaolian was attempting to demonstrate a strategy that would have the sisters gang up on Yan Yu to get him drunk.

The first one jumping to the contrary was naturally trying to curry Yan Yu's favor — and Yan Yu appreciated the sentiment, whispering his thoughts to her.

Lowering the cup, showing that he had already drained it, they heard Yun Jin chuckle and say:

"Xiaolian, I'll ask you: according to your sexual orientation, when you compare Yan Yu and Zhou Hongyu, Hongyu fits your mate selection criteria more, right?"

Tang Xiaolian froze on spot, aware that everyone was looking at her, and she quickly defended:

"Of course not! We're talking about sexual orientation here, so of course, I would choose Yan Yu! I'm straight, straight!"

Her intention was to emphasize "I'm straight," but with "I would definitely choose Yan Yu" out in the open, it instantly raised the hackles of Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi.

Indeed, that sly fox never gives up! Still coveting our captain!

"I understand," said Su Yunjin with a smile, "Drink up."

Tang Xiaolian drank in frustration, only to hear Yan Yu add:
